night ten middle-aged, cool headed,
determined men took the and
gave him such a whipping as only
men of this kind could administer
to a for an insult to a white
woman. After they had plied
the whip until the guilty wretch was
a quivering bundle of pains they
told him to get. He got. They
then quietly said goodbye to one
another and went home to their
families. Next morning as usual
they were all out at work and not a

goods in less than car lots, the rate
to go in effect July 1st. A storm
of protest was raised against the

this protest coming chiefly through
the retail associations,
and the is result the railroads have
postponed the idea indefinitely.
