LOCAL.
Mrs. lien S*ott, of Wilmington, is
visiting her sister Mrs. .T. E. King of
this city.
Mr. J. E. King has heen laid up
with an attack of billious fever. He
is convalescent. .
Mrs. J. W. Brown left for Morgan
ton last Thursday to spend some time
in the mountains.
That very refreshing rain on Wed
nesday broke up tho lawn party by
the firemen in baseball park.
Rev. J. S. Caldwell left yesterday
for Augusta, Ga. lie may and he
may not return soon.
Mrs. Ella Jones is at home to spend
the summer with her mother. She
arrived last Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Carter are
still in onr city and will probably
spend the summer here.
Miss M. S. Smith was in the city
on the 4th. She is spending some
time at Pincville.
Who will organize the first Harrison
and Dockery club ? There is no need
cf being offensively partisan about it.
Marshall Shepard andSam’l Mosley
were the colored special policemen
for the 4th. This is a new depar
ture.
The Republican State Executive
Committee is requested to meet in
Raleigh on the 18th inst., at 12
o’clock.
Miss Rasa Morehcad is in our city
visiting her mother and friends. We
regret to learn she is not enjoying
very good health.
This is hot weather, but a colored
man can’t get a drink of soda water
in Charlotte, and yet they say we
have all the privileges the whites
have.
Hon. O. n. Dookcry has published
his letter of acceptance to the nomi
nation for Governor. It is a strong
article, in whioh he reviews the poli
tical situation.
Why can’t the white republicans
of this and all the counties organize
dubs? Harrison and Dookcry clubs
and protection clubs. Stand by
your colors.
The game of ball between the Fear
less of this city and the Greensboro
nine last Monday was very interesting
awhile, but resulted our boys win
ning—1C to 0.
An excursion train with six loaded
cars earns in the city last Monday
morning from Greensboro. It was a
well behaved crowd and all scented to
enjoy their Tisit.
lien. Barringer is a good man and
a good republican. We cannot be
lieve he will use his influence against
the great republican party even if he
votes for Cleveland himself.
It has been remarked that “Smith
hadn’t sense enough to make any
money at the convention.” Smith
proposes to be an honest roan. He
neither made nor lost money at the
late convention. We have been
taught that men who gamble and
steal and sell their birth-right for
money, will not only lose their money,
but will lose their soul.
Two colored men were called in
service last Monday as special police
men, by our Mayor. Jerry Gaffney
and Samuel Mosley arc the parties.
The Observer says they “performed
their duty like veterans.”
Messrs W. II McNeill, D. B.
Yancey, W. E. ttolly of Greensboro,
Hon. J. C. Dancy," Prof. W. 11.
Golcr and Mr. I. I. Walker of Salis
bury were among the visitors in our
city last Monday.
The Oriole Literary Circle was en
tertained by Miss Eliza Houser last
Tuesday night. A good number
were out and all enjoyed tho meeting.

church last Sunday.
»
Strangers going to Monroe will
find Mrs. Job Osobrook prepared to
accomodate them. She is near the
depot and convenient for all. Her
accomodation is good and the town is
congratulated on having a good board
ing house at last.
Our city taxes arc increased this
year from CO to 85 cents on the SIOO
valuation of property and from $2.10
to $2.65 poll. The aldermen say
they got it down too low last year,
yet it was thought the bonds would
be some relief to tax payers.
Boys sometimes go wild in re
joicing over the success of their
friends or cortain sides, but when
a young ladies’ voice is heard over all
others on the baseball ground the
game must be interesting indeed.
Some ladies were a little boisterous
on the ball grounds last Monday.
The North State says two car loads
of convicts were shipped to Fayette
ville last Tuesday to work on the
Wilmington extension of the C. F. &
Y. V. Road. It was understood this
road was to be built by free labor.
Voters should have an eye to such.
We called attention to it at the time.
The Chronicle says Gen. Barringer
will vote for Cleveland but will vote
the republican State ticket. We are
not prepared to say anything more
concerning Gen. Barringer, but we
believe there are hundreds of protec
tion democrats in this State that will
vote for Harrison and protection
though they vote the democratic
State ticket.
We arc informed that a certain
business house in the city refuses to
sell a certain style of hat to colored
men. We have heard of this same
house doing similar things before and
enter no complaint against the house,
but wo do say that every colored
person knowing of such treatment and
still go to this house to buy goods,
is in danger should the fool-killer
come around. We all know the
house and know they dont want
colored people’s trade.
I Want Money.
We dislike to be always begging
for money and we intend to stop it
by taking off our books the names of
all persons who are not paid in ad
vance. Persons seeing this notice
will please pay for the time they have
had tho paper, and renew if they
expect it continued. We will go
down the Carolina Central road next
week and all subscribers that way are
asked to he ready for us and send in
if we fail to call. Wo will certainly
stop your paper if you dou’t pay.
The Fourth of July.
This day is recognized as a National
holiday, and as a relic of slavery
is observed by the colored people
generally. We sec no reason or sense
in the colored people taking special
interest in the observance of this day.
It is celebrated in memory of the time
America was declared free from Eng
land. That day settled the continua
tion of American slavery. Had Britton
triumphed, American slavery would
have perished long before it did. In
slavery times, if tho crops were laid
by, the slaves were allowed to rest
on this day. Then the white folks
rejoiced in the valor of their ancestors
and instilled the patriotic spirit in
the youth. It is now time for us to
give them the field again and turn
our attention, enthusiasm and patriot
ism to other days and deeds. We
have no special claims on this day
more than as American citizens.
White Hats.
The white hat does not signify
much in this campaign. James G.
Blaine wears a white beaver every
day. Ik is said that Gen. Ben.
Harrison, the next President, wears
one also. In Chicago all the Blaine
clubs and republican clubs from New
lork and elsewhere wore white
beavers. It seemed to be an ensign
of Republicanism beyond Mason and
Dixon’s line. Down here the demo
cratic clubs wear them and call them
Cleveland hats. We don’t think Mr.
Cleveland wears one of that kind.
Tho white beaver will very likely
become a regular campaign hat this
year, worn by both parties. So much
more for the hatters.
The Chronicle and the Darkles.
Thursday ’ aDMy Chronicle contained
an article on tho “Darkies and the
Fourth” that should be read by every
thinking man in this community.
The paper admits the good behavior
of the colored people on that day,
and says “the streets were fairly packed
and the police did not make a single
arrest during the day.” Tho article
is the most ridiculous and uncalled
for wc have noticed for some time.
It is unworthy our notice, but as tho
same organ claims to be the Negro’s
friend and expects him to read its
columns, we ask, how dare it insult the
race and decency of its own people by
such ridiculous articles ?
The poor country people all dress
in styles and colors peculiar to them
selves. The poor whites in the
country are just as devoted to his
favorite “Yaller cloth” as the Negro
is to his red. The fact is the colored
people give more attention to dress
than the poor whites and dress in
better style. Neither should be
ridiculed because of his poverty and
ignorance. Some of the ancestors of
these Chronicle writers have been seen
in as ridiculous style as they picture
the colored people of this county and
some of their posterity may be so
unfortunate as to be poor. Tho
reporters for that paper were evidently
hard up for something to writo about.
Grace Church -Dedicated.
— \UU\j i.
Last A. M. E.
Zion church was defeated to the
service of the Lord. The exercises
were conducted by Bishop J. J.
Moore, D.D. At the morning service
Dr. It. R. Morris preached an able
and interesting sermon from Luke
xii-32: “Fear not little flock: for
it is your Father’s good pleasure to
give you the kingdom.”
In the afternoon the following pro
gramme was carried out:
Singing by the choir.
The introductory —by the Bishop,

by the choir, prayer by Dr. Morris
and a solo by Mrs. Dr. Williams, Dr.
Jos C. Price was introduced and
spoke of “The aim, object and work
of the church.” lie entertained the
audience in his usual grand style,
after which Miss Minnie Sumner
read a history of Grace church. This
was a well prepared paper and did
credit to tho writer and proved
interesting to the audience.
Prof. S. G. Atkins congratulated
the church upon its work and pros
pects and especially upon the senti
ment it represents. A letter was
read from Elder Rives, the Presiding
Elder of the district, regretting his
inability to be present.
Good crowds were out during the

was crowded. Collections during
the day were $53.60. The church is
