every lady and every gentlemen reader
send us one new subscriber or send us
a list of the reading colored people
around you, with tbeir postofifice ad

Hurrah for President Harrison.
Let us all go and see him inaugu
rated.
Who will be our next postmaster
and who will go in the Mint?
Miss Kmma Crowell has returned
home from a visit to Union county.
The democrats of Old Virginia
now figure their own majority at 1,000.
Mr. Dallas Alexander and little
daughter spent a part, of the week in
the city.
People are begining to settle down
to business again as they are satisfied
with the results.
The excitement over the election
has caused us to neglect our business
as well as friends.
Bishop J J. Moore preached at
Draco last Sunday morning, and at
Little Rock at night.
The democrats of North Carolina
now claim 11,000, with the republican
west yet to hear from.
Mr. Prcstou H. Brown is still
down in Union county and is doing
good work for the Messenger.
Republicans arc having ratification
meetings in different parts of this
•State ns well as republican States.
Rev. W. P- Phifer organized a
church for colored people at
the court room last Sunday.
The young men of Wilmington arc
preparing to visit the inauguration in
•jrand style. A good crowd will go.
The letters from Mr. Lewis of
Lumbcrton and Mr. Taylor of Lin
colnton reached us too 'ate for this
issue.
They say all the letter carriers for
this eity must be colored men as white
men will fill the best places inside the
offices.
Miss Minnie Sumner returned home
last Tuesday from a visit to llaleigb.
She was tendered a reception by the
Hesperian club.
Messrs. A. Brady, W. O. Ford,
C W. Eddins and F. W. Ahrens have
been mentioned as possible candidates
for the postofice.
Some of the prow »* mistaken in
saying the military were called ont in
our city on election day. Everything
passed off quietly.
Hon. O. H. Dockory is the man to
represent the Soutli in President Har
rison’s cabinet. We would like to see
him made Postmaster General.
The new railroads for this city are
being discussed now, and it is said
the county commissioners will next
Monday week consider petitions for
election.
There will be many new faces in
the field when the offices arc to be give
out. They say some of the old ones
have had enough and should not go
back in. Let all have a chance.
We do not mean to single out par
ticular democrats to be removed, but
simply mean that all must go and go
speedily after the 4th of March. There
are a few though, in whoso exit we
will take special delight.
The Central N. C. Annual Confer
ence meets at Fayetteville next Wed
nesday. Bishop J. J. Moore will
preside. Dr. J. T. Williams and
Mr. R. A. Simmons are the lay dele
gates from this district.
Our military company should not
miss the opportunity of going to
Washington on the 4th of March and
march behind our next President in
the grandest demonstration ever seen
in Washington. What about it Capt.
Taylor?
This is our time to laugh, and no
one ought to object to our having
our full share. Negroes and radicals
are as certain to take the federal ,
offices as the sun is to rise, and what
Negro and what rad won’t laugh ? It’s
hard, but it’s fair.
Dakota, Montana and Washington
territories have been pleading for
Statehood some years. As the
people’s party is now in power and
these territories have the* acquired
population, wealth and improvement,
they will be admitted by the 51st
Congress.
Charleston and Columbia, S. C.,
are made up of as high-toned, aristo
cratic democratic business men as are
in the South, and they stood Negro
postmasters. Suppose a Negro should
succeed Gen. Young, who would die
from the effect ? But faint-hearted
republicans might say it wont do to
give the Negro even a subordinate
place,— . ,
We surrender muefi of our editorial
space this week for the reproduction
of two articles which appeared in this
paper in May and October concerning
church and schools. They arc repro
duced at this time because the annual
conference of A. M. E. Zion church
will be in session in Fayetteville next
week. We hope all the preachers
will read both articles carefully.
The next man to Col. Dockery to
be remembered by President Harrison
should be Mr. O. J. Spears, of Har
nett county. He is a lawyer and a
farmer and should have a good place.
Wonder if he would like to go to
Brazil or be Commissioner of Agri
culture, or Solicitor-General. Mr.
Harrison will honor his administration
and North Carolina by recognizing
Mr. S.
A republican rule is very
encouraging to colored people every
where, yet it makes it more important
for every colored boy and girl to be
sent and kept in school. Yon will
want your boy tc fill some office or
your girl to marry an office holder
after a while, but unless a fellow
knows something he can’t even be a
janitor to a postmaster. Times are
getting better and your children will
eDjoy it if you only do your part by
them.
Colored men will soon be called
upon to circulate and Bign petitions
for men to fill certain places. They
arc hereby warned to be careful before
committing themselves to any man,
to first find out how lie stands on the
Negro. A man who thinks it is not
yet time for the Negro to fill responsi
ble places anywhere, should be
‘•spotted and downed.” There arc
Negroes here competent and deserving
to fill any place in our post-office.
Mint or revenue service.
It Is Better Thus.
Wc do not rejoice at the downfall
of any one. It is our good fortune
to have the advantage in this great
change, and it i* better that it ia thus.
- V. -i JAi'
The white man in the South who has
honest convictions, and believes in the
principles of the republican party and
dares express his convictions, cannot
succeed well in a business that de
pends upon his neighbors. Under a
republican administration ho can ac
cept a federal position and stand in
the courage of his convictions.
The poor, but honest, educated Ne
gro, against whom all trades, profes
sions and business are closed, is given
an opportunity to improve his intellect,
and remunerate and take care of his
aged parents, who kept themselves in
poverty, working to educate their
boy. The democratic office-holder in
the South is an aristocrat and will
be taken care of. So aside from
politics, it is far better thus for all
concerned.
Died In Liberia.
Mrs. M. C. Perry, wife of Rev.
Frank B. Perry, missionary to
Liberia from this city, died on the
morning of the 11th of '■ ptember.
The letter reached us too late for
publication. It will appear next
week.
What Does This Menu ’
The interest in the election on Tues
day last was not confined to the men.
There was an organized “Brigade of
Non-voters” who took their position on
an elevation with arms stacked ready
for any emergency. Their weapons
looked very formidable. —Charlotte
Democrat of the 9t/i.
(y Fill Up the Schools.
While— our hard worked school
teachers arc doing their full duty and
every thing seems to bo going on
smoothly, the parents arc not per
forming their duty. The little ones
are started to school sometimes before
they are six years old to lighten
responsibilities at home, but the girls
and boys of 14 to 18 are not to be
found in the school room. Where
are they ? Have they entered
college or some seminary ?
Our boys and girls ought to be
kept in school here until they finish
the course laid down in our graded
system and a higher course should be
added and the higher classes should
be crowded as well as the lower. We
ought to have a high school depart
ment in our graded school and all
these young women and young men
who find so much time to idle on the
streets aud at entertainments should
spend their time more profitably in a ]
way that will bo useful to them in j
after years. But how can we have a
higher department when the children
don't stay in school long enough to
finish tlic course already laid down?
There are many parents here not
able to send their daughters off to
school, but can well afford to spare
them every forenoon, and the girls
can make enough afternoons and
Saturdays to clothe themselves.
Parents arc urged to consider the
great loss to themselves and their
children, as well as the drawback to
the race by a continuance of ignor
ance and crime on the State. There
is no excuse for the colored people
of this city remaining behind any
other city in the State. Let us take
advantage of our opportunities.
■ Every colored girl and boy in this
city should have at least a common
school education. Biddle should
have not less than fifty young men
from this city and every year should
graduate a dozen Charlotte boys. A
high school department of our graded
school should turn-out and send off
to Scotia and elsewhere a dozen or
more girls every year.
Will the preachers and teachers
do their duty in advising and urging
our people to keep their children in
school and will parents be advised
and help to work out this groat and
mighty problem? Our responsi
bilities as a race arc becoming greater
every day. The solution of the
problem is in the school room, the
church and the home. Wc need
teachers throughout the country and
in a few months will have plenty of
money to pay them. These young
women who speued about six nnd a
half days in a week washing and
ironing and destroying thoir health
for a few dollars, if they had spent
the time thoy should have in the
school room would be able to enjoy
life.
Send your girls to school.
It matters not if they arc largo and
have to stand by small fellows. They
had better be ushamod of this a few
days in the school room, than live
a whole life of shame. They will get
over it in a few days and the sooner
they start the sooner they will get
over it. There is a score of young
women in this city who can well
afford to go to school and who ought
to go. Thoy can easily do their work
in the afternoon and on Saturdays.
The time they spend on the streets
would profit them much more if spent
in the school room.
Young men and young women say
they have to work. What are they
working for? What can they show
besides their good clothes? If a
young man or young woman can’t go
to school and feed and clothe them
selves by working half of each day
we would like to know the reason
why. Parents, send your hoys and
girls to school, big and little ones.
Young folks, go to school, yon are
needed just over yonder. You will
enjoy life better and make others
happier. Fill evei'y school house
and you will never regret a day
properly spent in school.
