Plaindealer

The Topeka Plaindealer Poro College Celebration this Week. TWENTY-SECOND YEAR. NO.48 AN OPEN LETTER Washington,D. C. November 9th, 1920. To the Rev. S. J. Catts. Governor of Florida, Tallabassee, Fla. Dear Governor: I am advised by a gentlemen of un- questioned standing for truth telling residing in the county in which the circumstances here set forth occu- red, of the following happenings within your jurisdiction: At Ocoee, Orange county, Fla., on November 2nd, a Negro offered to vote. He had registered as a voter under the laws of the state, but it was claimed that he had not subsequently paid his poll tax, and therefore was not eligible to vote. His ballot was refused. He went away and later returned to the polling place, got into an argument with Democratic watchers, some hot words passed and he was knocked down and went away. It is claimed, though not proved, that he had a gun hidden in his automobile. It is not claimed that he displayed it, or offered to shoot. About eight o'clock on the evening of November 2nd a so-called "posse" composed of about a dozen Democratic leaders, went to the Negro settlements, as they claimed to "disarm" the blacks. One man forced his way into a house and was shot. The "posse" then opened fire on the house. The fire was returned by the inmates and two white men were killed, and several wounded. Then the posse set the house on fire, and the inmates, including several women, were burned to death. Then the "posse" went from house to house burning and murdering the occupants. Thirty houses two churches, a school house and a lodge building were burned. The "posse" drove all the inhabitants into the surrounding woods, some being killed in flight. They chased the Negro who had attempted to vote into a clump of bushes and shot him to pieces, tearing off one arm. He was sent to a hospital, where his wounds were pronounced fatal. He was put in jail at Orlando, Fla., whence he was taken before morning by a mob, and hanged. This man was one of the best Negro men in the county, respectful, law-abiding and owner of a fine grove. His name was July Perry. A mock coroner's jury was assembled under the color of law and returned the verdict on Perry: "Came to his death at the hands of persons unknown." Inoffending Negro men, women and children were attacked next day in the locality without their knowing why; in one case a Negro boy was driven from a wagon he was driving and chased under a corn-crib, where he remained, fearing o come out, forty eight hours without food or water. There has been, so far as I am advised, no investigation into these wholesale murders; no action by county, state or federal authorities. None, I am informed, is contemplated. You are governor of a state and a minister of the gospel. Do you propose, by failure to take any action in this matter, to rest under the imputation of sympathy with such wanton crimes, brutally inflicted by savage and lawless men upon helpless people who had not the most remote connection with the crime of this registered Negro in attempting to vote, if that be a crime? This inquiry has nothing to do with "social equality;" no law can fix either the inferiority or superiority socially or otherwise, of any race; no one but a common liar or blockhead alleges that the Republican party seeks to establish "social equality" in the south or elsewhere. It has nothing to do with the franchise laws of Florida, which your state has enacted and for which Florida is alone responsible, subject to the provision of the federal constitution that citizens deprived of the ballot shall not be used as the basis of representation in Congress on the electoral college. It has nothing to do with the conduct of the Negro who offered to vote, or even the right or wrong of attaching him for his persistence in the mistaken idea, if it was mistaken, that he was a voter under the laws of your state. R THE NEW HOME dedication exercla Prominent Race take part in the lone who are do lem which confr THE MUSEUM OF THE ARTS AND CULTURE OF NEW YORK The question is whether such an orgy of slaughter can be carried on as against many helpless and innocent people, by members of your party, for political reasons, or for the sport involved in murder without the hand of authority being lifted either to prevent or punish it in a commonwealth where recently denunciation of "Hun atrocities was heard from nearly every pulpit and platform in your state. The American people recognize that the rate question in the South is one full of dicultity and danger. They would not make it more serious. They full to see where such episodes as the one just recounted can help to bring it nearer a solution. They blush to know that anywhere under the American flag mere political partisanship could lead men to the commission of such inhuman crimes asthose which go unchallenged and uncondemned in your jurisdiction, and they would like to know what you think of this and what you are going to do about it. EDITOR GILL 'PICKS" THE In a recent issue of the Evanston Advertiser, Editor Gill gives a list of possible appointees for the political positions heretofore held by Race men under previous republican administrations.

Saunders in a strong and urgent appeal for an increase in subscription in every charge. A spirit of brotherly kindness marked the deliberations of District Superintendent and pastors. New life and activity is taking place under the administration of our zealous working Superintendent, Dr. G. G.

First, the M. K. and T. railroad is still firing the gun of 'Discouragement and Discrimination hitting at the Colored porters. Out of all the work and responsibility they put on the Black man, they must look after all the brakemen' equipment for him on the rear end of the passenger train, draw his oil, fill his lights, keep his gun case filled with freezers. Put torpedoes on the rear of train at night and day and if anything happens or something short, the porter is held responsible. And out of all that they have cut our salary to $125 per month, paying the white brakemen $180 and theel are doing one half the work that the Colored porters are doing. And now they have stopped the porters from renting pillows to the traveling public, for what cause I cannot say, only it is to keep the bread out of his mouth and starve him out if possible. I do not know who to lay this move to, the Texas division or the Kansas or Missouri division. I will say I think it belongs to them all. Just as it possible for a cat to hate a dog, a southern white man also has the same feeling towards a Colored man. No more this time. A. Smith, Parsons, Kans.
