A meeting of whitw Republicans repre senting thirteen counties was held at Wilmington a low days ago and R. M. Noriiient, G. W. Stanton and D. L. liassell were appointed a committee to issue an address to the Republican voters of the State expressing the views of meeting on the political situation. The address says the Republican parly iu all the negro belt is weaker to-day than it Las ever been since the day of its birth. New men who have started to it have Lc-en driven back by the vi.-don of negro supremacy. The most hopeless Democratic counties are the negro counties. In North Carolina there is no Republican j-arty worth mentioning except that which m comprised of white men in white communities. Many of the best Federal oific.s have I -ecu given to colored men. Wliii i they prufess not to com plain of this and say it is perhaps but tuple justice, yet they say in distributing these favors the .references aJ sensi bilities of white Republicans, as well as of the white people generally, have been ignored and despised. The administration l3 b'len ini.-led by the advice of ucscru pu'ous politician with whom honorable men will "ot associate. White Republicans feel, whilo admitting the justice of i(conizin: all cltments in the distribution t f party rewards, that i iiey should not be lutuiliutrd by the appointment of black ir en whose conduct makes them offensive t; the white people of their communities. They say that the tendency of the n.";:roes now is to elevate the mcK corrupt pegro dement to tho control of the party h lb black counties. This policy estab !M"1 the party bcccins in Eastern North Carolina simply a negro party, comprising not nil the colored people but controlled by the most ignorant and vicious stju corrupt elements of the race. ''From this dismal outlook," says the committee, here is but one eecnp'j, and that is to so manage Republican policy so as to invite i Ireak in tho now substantially solid white vote." The policy suggested is to tease to contend against the white people for the control of negro communities but hold to the principles of the national party; to discourage the nomination of a State ticket and oppose the nomination of county tickets in the negro counties this year. The comtnittoe appeals to the colored people to adopt this policy and thereby defeat tho schemes of Democratic leaders who seek to solidify the whites by point inq to the solidity of the blacks, and of certain noisy negroes who seek to drive .-lL) white men out of the party. If the Wilmington meeting be sincere in the suggestions contained in the address it anthorizod the committee to i?ue, the salient points of which are piven above, thegcntlemen who composed that meetini: nd those whom they represent have completely turned tbtir backs on the negroes who furnish ninety-nine one hundredths of tho Republican votes in the eastern part of the State and judging from the address, the sole reason they have thus thrown the negro overboard and abandoned him is because the negroes, tired of being the political hewers of weod and drawers of water for their white leaders, have asserted themselves and thereby obtained a share of the fat thiogs which they, by their votes, have plaoed in the hands of the Republican party for distribution among the faithful. They ask the negroes to make no seminations for county offices, and yet " ifiof these offices are most proGtable, 'they ask th in to remain true to ' -"nal party and vote for a Eepubli- J . THE can president lie they denounce me administration i;.r giving the negroes the few minor Federal t ffices which they hold. But are tlese g 'ntlcmen sincere in their advice? Are not they preparing a trap for tin; Democrats? Does not their address indicate that they want the offices t!i -mselvi s, and will they leave nothing undone to secure them? Does it not appear that they are very willing to sacrilice the local offices which the negroes rightly insist on filling with men of their owu color, in order that they, the white leaders, may at the last moment bring cut a State ti-'ket composed of white Republicans and rally the negroes to its support in order that these white Republicans may get the State offices? The negroes may take the advice con tained in the address so far as tho local offices are concerned, but it is hardly probable that the white Republicans of the West will heed u when they come to decide about putting a State ticket in the field. A conference of Republicans was held at Raleigh last week and one of those present whose name was not given is re ported as saying that Republican pros pects depend on the action of the Third party. That means that they will have a full Slate ticket in the field if they see any possibility of electing it, and that such possibility will exist if the white people split. John Williamson, a colored politician of Raleigh, said iu a recent speech that the white people were splitting to pieces and as soon as the gap was wide enough the negroes could slip in, and on this ac count he advised the colored people to stand solid. All of these rumors and indications should furnish food for serious thought to the white people of North Car olina who remember the disastrous Re publican government of the State and counties. With this issue the Roanoke News begins its twenty-third annual volume, the eleventh under its present manage ment. Its course in the past is its Kuarautce for the future. S.S CONVENTION AT NEW BERN. Messrs. Editors: I believe the press of North Carolina expressed itself as being ever ready to do its part in ex tending the cause of Christianity in the betterment of the people of our State in her respective counties. As a delegate from Halifax county I attended the convention of S S. workers at New Bern, and with your consent and help, will make a report of some things through your paper to our people in this wonderful old county and as persons generally like short articles I expect I had better adopt the installment plan and give you a little each week until I am through. We adopted a constitution during the sittiug of the conference. This N. C. State Sunday School Association is an auxiliary to the International Sun day School A;8ociation. Its objects are to secure the attendance of every child and youth in the State upon a Sunday school; to encourage the establishing of such new schools as may be necessary, and to co operate with all fellow workers in increasing an interest in Bible study, and in S. S. work generally. . The ulti mate end of all is to save and make useful in Christ's Kingdom the youth of our State. The statistics show 400,000 mi nors in our State without any S. S home for instruction This interdenominational association calls upon all denominations to help and get helped iu this great work. I saw on the map of this great State of N. C, which hung in one end of th Con vention room 14 different denominational S. S., represented Union, Frund.-, Baptists, Lutheran, Christian, Moravian, Methodist E , Episcopal, Presbyterian, German Reform, Werleyao Methodist,M.

Faimcis at homo and at work. Bishop Lyman is in town and will hold his annual service in his church to day. Trade dull. Wo see this a. m., some of our merchants on their way to Fishing Creek, others returning from Beaver Pond, others repairing old c isoes and still others knitting nets. So mote it be. A colored child was burnt to death in our town one day last week by falling into the fire. The contract for carrying tho mail to Heath ville,Ringwood, Medocand Brink leyville has been given to Cary Pender, one of our colored citizens, for three hundred and eighty-five dollars, cheaper by one huudred dollars than it is carried now by Mr. James Benton, wdio has been carrying the same for nineteen years. Mr. Tom Harrison and Dr. G. E. Matthews, of Ringwood, are in town to-day. The former gent'e i a'i had 1 is foot mashed in a runaway some time ago, but he says it is getting well fast. Two carloads of hay arrived here again last Saturday for some of our merchants. Why cannot our farmers raise it? Would it not pay better than to make cotton at 5 cents a pound ? The parties from Virginia mentioned in your paper last week, as looking for timber We bought several lots of it around here, and they are going to bring several mills hereto cut it, and will build a tram road from their mills to this town, and they may have a planing mill here. Mr. Walter Pittman is very sick yet. M.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. akes the Weak Strong The marked benefit which people In run down or weakened stato of health derive Irom Hood's Sarsaparilla, conclusively proves the claim that this medicine " makes the weak strong." It does not act like a stimulant, Imparting fictitious strength from which there must follow a reaction of greater weakness than before, but in the most natural way Hood's Sarsaparilla overcomes that tired feel ing, creates an appetite, purines tlte blood, and, In short, gives great bodily, nerve, mental and digestive strength. Fagged Out "Last spring I was completely fagged out. My strength left me and I felt sick and mis erable all tho time, so that I could hardly attend to my tuslness. I took one bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla, and it cured mo. There is nothing like it." It. C. Beoole, Editor Enterprise, Belleville, Mich.
