APRIL · I 8 9 3 fully up for the enforcement of the law, whether it applies to the black man or the white man. I am sure that there is not a sensible and self-respecting colored man in Macon county that does not think more of the white people now than he has ever done in the past; and I am also sure that there is a strong public sentiment growing among the colored people of this county that favors the inflicting of a just punishment however severe on all wrong-doers whether black or white. ''I cannot close this article without adding that the colored people feel that they owe a debt of gratitude to the Sheriff of Macon county and the brave men who have stood by him, which they cannot pay. Had we not had a sheriff who had it in his heart to see justice meted out to the poorest and meanest criminal, our county would have been disgraced and there would not have been today that warmth of feeling toward, and confidence in, the white people on the part of the colored people that now exists and which I think will be more apparent in the future than it has been in the past.''
