Excerpt from The Complete Works of Brann, the Iconoclast, Vol. 6 There is probably nothing on earth "cuter" than a nigger baby; but, like other varieties of the genus "coon," they are not considered very valuable additions to society. In ante-bellum times nigger babies had a market value, and certain planters employed Kansas or Massachusetts overseers with a view to their multiplication; but under the new regime the advent of these young simians is regarded with unconcern. It was thought for a time - after Sherman's march to the sea - that the nigger baby would furnish a more or less happy solution of the much vexed "race problem"; that the blacks would, in a few generations, be faded out by fornication; but as the Caucasian became more fastidious in his tastes and substituted bikeing for coon-hunting, the hope of getting rid of Sambo by gradual absorption died a lingering death. We are not asked to believe that a renaissance of the old idea has been inaugurated under the auspices of the Baptist Missionary Society - due to the enterprise and industry of the Texas Superintendent. The Iconoclast devoutly hopes that such is not the case - it were mixing religion and politics and clearly unconstitutional.

Excerpt from The Complete Works of Brann, the Iconoclast, Vol. 1 In putting into permanent form the complete works of William Cowper Brann, twenty-one years after his deaths the sole purpose of the present publishers is to preserve in its entirety the genius of a writer whose work, though produced under the stress of journalism, is destined to endure as literature. Upon the issues discussed by Brann, the publishers take no sides; they do not stand as sponsors for, nor do they desire to appear in the light of either approving or disapproving his opinions or methods. They were friends and neighbors of many years' standing of the men and institutions mentioned in Brann's writings, but were in no way involved in the bitter controversies and deplorable events which led to Brann's untimely and dramatic death. The plan and arrangement of this twelve-volume set of Brann is simple. The first volume is composed of articles of various length gathered from miscellaneous sources, and includes some of the better known articles from The Iconoclast. Volume II to XI inclusive are the files of the Iconoclast (from February, 1895 to May, 1898, inclusive), with the matter arranged approximately as it appeared in the original publication. Volume XII contains the story of Brann's death and various biographical and critical articles from the press of the day, together with those of Brann's speeches and lectures which have been preserved. At the close of Volume XII you will find a complete index of subjects and of titled articles for the entire twelve volumes.

Excerpt from The Complete Works of Brann the Iconoclast, Vol. 12 Friday afternoon, November 19, 1897, marked a street duel and tragedy in which two men were killed, one lost an arm, and an innocent by-stander was injured. Friday afternoon, April 1st, 1898, within an hour of the time of the first tragedy, and within a half block of the locality of the other, W. C. Brann and Tom E. Davis engaged in a street duel in which each of them was mortally wounded, and three others received slight wounds. Four fatalities within five months of each other are bloody records in the history of the city of Waco, all of which can be traced to the same source, all of which were born of the same cause.

Excerpt from The Complete Works of Brann the Iconoclast, Vol. 8 The editor of the iconoclast knows too much to have his bridle oh. He is the most dangerous person at an edi torial desk in the United States. Pagan Bob and this erudite blasphemer are of the same stripe. Catholics are reading his screeds by the wholesale, and we are aston ished to see some Catholic editors still using them as a weapon. It will burn the hand that wields it.
