The large brick building that stood
in the rear of the white graded school
was burned to the ground last Sun
day night about 12 o’clock.
Airit these lovely moonlight nighta!
Hut Dr. Williams says they may give
you pneumonia if you hang on the
gate post too long after you return
home.
llishop Hood says his address was
“garbled” and he was misrepresented
hy the press. That is just wbat we
expected aud the Rishop has been in-,
jured by the ready republishing by !
the democratic press, which is over
anxious to injure a representative
colored man.
E. M. Andrews is still leading the
State in fine furniture, while H.
Baruch Bells the best and cheapest
clothing and dry goods in the city.
Try them.
There is quite a number of appli
cants for the State Normal at Fayette
ville, among whom are some of the
best young men in the State. Let us
have a good man.
The members of the W. C. T. U.
are requested to meet at Clinton
Chapel to-morrow at 2 o’clock p.m. to
hear a lecture by Prof. Atkins of
Livingstone College.
A meeting will be held by the
Managers of the colored Hospital
Tuesday at 4P. M. All interested,
especially the members of the W. C.
T. U. are earnestly requested to be
present at the Hospital building on
Stonewall St. near D.
We arc still having frost in this
section, though the fruit is growing
and looking like it is not at all in
jured. It is hoped that we will have
a bountiful crop of fruit this year,
that hard times may be forgotten a
few days, if not long.
The New York Independent is one
of the most powerful and influential
papers in the country. It supported
Mr. Cleveland four years ago, but
is opposed to him this time. One by
one the roses fall. It remains now
for Geo. Wm. Curtis to go back on
Mr Cleveland.
We visited the First Baptist church
last Sunday night and heard an in
teresting sermon from Rev. Mr. Pow
ell. He has probably the neatest
church and one of the best congrega
tions in the city. His choir is second
to none. The Sunday previous this
church raised $26.26 mission money.
The Messenger is not Canaday’s
organ but it is Smith’s organ, pub
lished in the interest of the Negro and
the Republican party. We take it as
an insult to ourself and our race for
Mr. A. V. Dockery to charge all he
sees of merit as coming from others.
We have but little faith in Mr. Dock
ery’s respect for and opinion of the
colored man. Some white men look
upon the Negro as mere chattel and
whenever he supports a candidate, he
is charged with being bought.
The Protectionist pleads for a con
sideration for the white republicans
in the State. The editor of that
paper certainly must have lost much
by his stay in England. While there
he must have read none but demo
cratic papers from this State. It is
said that in the last two State con
ventions the whites were in the
majority-that when republicans held
the office, white men got the lion’s
share of places and SSOO to the color
ed man’s $l.O0 —that white men were
consulted rbout every appointment
and the colored man was consulted
about nothing, hut when a white re
publican wanted something he simply
said to his colored henchmen, “I
want you to do this or that.” These
arc the Mr. Canaday is remotest from.
These are the things thinking col
ored men want to sec stopped. We
do not object to white men
voting the republican ticket and
taking a band in all the party
management. We shall go along
with the foremost to-day in our
county convention in an effort to have
a larger representation of white men
the councils of the party here.
Female Seminary for Zion.
The question of a female seminary
for Zion connection will bo discussed
through these columns next week,
after which these columns will open
to both sides.
Ihe Third District.
The paper has a circulation in
several counties in the 3d Congress
ional District. For several reasons
we feel interested in all tho good
works of the old Cape Fear. We
know she will select two good men,
but wo hope they will elect that able
and ever true republican O. J. Spears
and either G. T. Wassom on G. C.
Hcurlock. We care not whether they
are red-legged grasshoppers or not;
they are all good republicans.
Chatham County Convention.
By order of the Executive Com
mittee of Chatham county the repub-
I Leans are requested to meet in Pitts
boro on Tuesday, May Bth, and elect
delegates to the State convention to
be held in Raleigh on the 23d of
May.
Wire Fences in Town.
Complaints is made of the danger
ous barbed wire fence used on many
lots in this city. Ladies dresses are
often torn hy them and frequently
one end of a wire gets loose and thus
becomes very dangerous, especially to
pedistrians in the dark and to bare
foot children. Ought they to be al
lowed on public streets ?
Female Bachelors.
We learn from the Star of Zion
that Miss Ellen Dade and Miss Esther
Carthey have passed the required ex
amination after completing the course
of study at Livingstone College and
will on the 15th of next month get
their diplomas as A. B. There are
six young men in tho class with them,
but these are the first ladies graduat
ing with the degree of Bachelor of
Arts in this State, that we have any
knowledge of. While some of our
young ladies have graduated from
Northern colleges we don’t think any
have taken the full course in one of
our State colleges. There is always
room at the top and if these ladies
will retain the Miss with the A. B.
they will find plenty of work in amel
iorating the condition of our people.
Os course when a bachelor marries he
is no longer a member of the society.
Livingstone College is fast taking
the lead among colored institutions.
Consideration—Consideration.
Let tho white Republicans of this
State have all the consideration pos
sible. It may be, that the reason the
State has not been redeemed sooner
there were so few white republicans
to have consideration. What few
there were have heretofore had all
that was worth having—such as Con
sul to Leeds and about every place in
the State that paid a thousand dollar
salary. Yet nineteen-twentieths of
the colored voters voted the Republi
can ticket. Wo have not the least
objection to white men leading and
bossing the party as heretofore. They
should bo considered and have at
least one representative on our State
ticket, &e. All we ask is a say so in
the choice of these white men inas
much as we will do the voting when
it comes to that. O yes, give tha
white Republicans some considera
tion if tho State is ever to be re
deemed.
The Convention.
The republican county convention
will be held in the court house to-day
to select delegates to the District
convention to be held at Maxton on
the 22d of May and ' to the State con
vention in Raleigh on the 23d. It is
not supposed the party will be re
organized at this time and the elec
tion of delegates is the only business
of the convention. As tlitre seems to
be harmony in the party it is hoped
it will be evidenced to-day by a re
spectable, peaceful and harmonious
convention.
Office has been taken from the col
ored man by the democratic party and
some other disturbing elements have
been removed and we know of no
cause for contention and strife. If
colored men are to control this con
vention, let us do it with that dignity
and decorum that would do credit to
any set of men. Let us leave off all
points of order, and in a right way,
select six or twelve of the best repub
licans in the county who will credit
ably represent tne party in the con
ventions.
Let us throw aside all feeling and
know no section or color, but such
men as will dq credit to themselves
and the party. We have a number of
good men, white aud colored, to select
from in nil parts of the country. Wc
want hormonions action now to in
sure success in the aproaching cam
paign.

M’r’n Co , Baltimore, Md.
Tho colored pcoplo of the State arc
excited and indignant because tho
Legislature refused to strike the word
“while” from the bastardy laws. A
large public meeting of women was
hold in Baltimore Wednesday, to pro
test against the law os it stands, and
condemning those who voted against
its repeal. Among tho speakers was
Mrs. S. A. Morgan, a school teacher
at Abington, Harford county, who
said that her daughter, fifteen years
old, had been insulted by a rich
gentlemen’s son, who told her that
she had no rights under the laws of
Maryland. “I know if a colored
man insults a white woman in the
least, a mob of whites will he after
him. lam a Christian, and know
the Bible teaches ‘Thou shalt not
kill/ but when I think of my little
daughter being insulted and these
shameful laws and customs, my blood
boils, and I almost feel like killing
somebody.”— Havre de Grace Rejntb
lican
Three car loads of colored people,
over 200 in number, passed through
the city this week on their way to
California. They came from all parts
of the South, where they were con
tracted for by California planters,
who pay their fare and furnish their
food, and agree to pay the men sls
a month, the women slo,and the chil
dren who can make half wages, on
their arrival. Labor is scarce in
California and the planters are at the
mercy of the Chinese whom they do
not want. Only colored people with
families are wanted.— Kansas City
