Sentinel (Reproduced in the

The above is the sentiment of
the two Democratic newspapers
touching our people. Now, how
can a Negro support, a party
those cusses represent,
- The peace and harmony be
tween the Negro and the white
man of this country should not
be destroyed but should remain
sacred : and every effort should
be made by the peace loving,
self respecting Negro to throw
the mantle of charity around the
blating fool, who has more cheek
than brain. The spirit of dis
crimination should not exists in

should work together with equbl
patronage and shculd the sp rit
of discrimination evince itself

surprise to the Negro. Charles

All of the above is true but the
Negro has been surprised bo oft
en by his while neighbor in that
particular, until he is not sur

black. But the brave and manly
stind of the Negroes at Wagon r

pie prevented the outrage. There
is no danger of trouble between
the races or race war between
the rivers, but if that cowardly
mob had proceeded to carry out
their threats touching the inno

crime or criminal there would
have been liquk1 hell between
rivers.

THAT RACE WAR.
The reports of the correspon

concerning the colored people be

The people over there simply or
ganized to prevent the hoodlums
from Wagoner and vicinity f'om
insulting and driving thoir fami
lies from home. Because one Ne

had been charged with the com
mission of crime, was no cause
for a lawless crowd of white men
to threaten the lives of every Ne
gro between the rivers for the
perpetrator of the outrage to be
eaughtand punished, and had the
mob remained at home and the
officers of the law given an op
pjrtunity they would have cap
tured the man. One man was
captured and taken to Wagoner

stated he was not the man, still
