YOU ARE BEING BETRAYED!
IS K KI
Even Pendleton Nods
In a recent issue of the Macon Telegraph
we found an editorial, which began thus:
“The pro-negro visionary of the North will
probably never cease talking and certainly will
never see straight. Professor Kelly Miller, of
Harvard University, now comes forward to ex
plain the increase of negro crime in the South on
the ground of a growing ‘spirit of racial exclusive
ness and intolerance’ among the whites. If. that
be so, the said spirit of intolerance must be much
more marked among the whites of Professor
Miller’s own section, for Professor Wilcox, of Cor
nell, the eminent statistician, has shown that
there is nearly three times as much crime among
Northern as there is among Southern negroes.”
What’s the matter, Pendleton? Don't you
know that Kelly Miller is a coal-black negro,
and Professor in that coon college at Wash
ington City ?
Editorial Notes by J. D. Watson
It happened that the writer of this note was
at Charlottesville, Virginia, when the delega
tion of farmers from Wisconsin, lowa, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Ohio, Illinois and
other far Western States passed through on
their way to Raleigh, North Carolina, via
Richmond, Virginia.
As these gentlemen seemed to be a prosper
ous, conservative lot of delegates,—men who
would never have been taken by people in this
section of the country to be farmers, my cu
riosity was aroused.
