LOCAL. One Thousand More. We want one thousand new sub scribers by the first of January. Let every lady and every gentlemen reader send us one new subscriber or send us a list of the reading colored people around you, with their postoffice ad dress, so we may send them a copy of our paper. Persons receiving a cross mark on their paper will be dropped from our list. Rev. J. M. Hill arrived last Tues day morning. Mrs. A. C. Monroe left last week after a pleasant stay, for ber home in Duluth, Minn. The next session of the A. M. E. Conference will be held in Wilming ton Nov. 20, 1889. Remember you can get this paper at one dollar a year by paying up all back dues. Start in for tbe new year. Mr. Henry Holmes’ boy broke bis neck while playing in Fayetteville one day last week. The boy was six or seven years old. The good people of Wadesboro have gone to work to raise a subscription for our female seminary. They say it must come. The Central N. C. Conference of Zion church adjourned to meet in Clinton Chapel Charlotte, 3d, Wed nesday in November 1889. Please pay what you owe this paper and don’t expect us to send it unless you pay in advance. Send the money when you ask for the paper. It is a nice thing to have special friends any where. Those brethren in tbe Central N. C. Conference at Fayetteville who failed to have all their general fund can testify to this fact. The Zion Methodist churches of this eity all have new pastors. Rev. J. M. Hill, at Clinton Chapel, Rey. R. C. Collins, Little Rouk and Rev. J. T. Qaskill at Grace. All good and able ministers. How can a church be purged? By smothering up the evil men do in it, or by exposing and expelling bad men when their evil deeds are found out. “Let the wicked forsake his way.” before he attempts to represent a church. We publish in this issue the appoint ments made by the Central N. C. Conference at Fayetteville. A new Presiding Elder’s district was formed, making six in tbe Conference. Rev. Mayfield Slade was made Presiding Elder by Bishop Moore All interests of a church should be looked after equally if possible. When brethren of a late Conference failed to bring in the general fund which in cluded Bishop’s pay, they were ex pelled, bnt when it was shown that another bad collected and failed to send in another fund, no part of which reaches the Bishops, this brother is promoted. Can a church . succeed when it allows favoritism to : l *ke place of merit. Rev. J. T. Gaskill took charge of ■ Grace church last Sunday. He was kindly received, the church being t P lea Bed with him. He will be well . cared for and he is expected to bring Grace church up to its proper place ; —the best church in the Conference. > Evil men should not be kept be hind a screen in a church. Wickcd . nesß ' n high places should be brought , down exposed. Those fellows who made for themselves such an 1 unenviable reputation outside of the Conference, drinking whisky, &c., were bad representatives of a Christian church. The parties that bought the stuff and carried the bottle told on you. The ladies said you were drunk and smelt of whisky. Judge Settle Dead. , North Carolina and the country at large sustains a great loss in the death ’■ of Judge Thomas Settle which occur • red in Greensboro last Saturday noon. Judge Settle was loved by all who knew him. He was a pure man and one of the ablest sons of North Carolina. He was 55 years old. Suspended. We regret to see in the last issue of the Carthage Protectionist that the paper will be suspended. We differed with the Protectionist on one occasion but found it to be a staunch and valuable republican paper. It did great good in the last campaign as is evidenced it the gains of the party in Moore and adjoining counties. It is a shame that republicans will not give better support to our party organs. The party sustains a very heavy loss in Mr. A. V. Dockery. He is an able, fearless writer. The democrats owe their success in the late fight entirely to their press, and we must sustain oar papers better. For Public Printer. One of the most important appoint ments to be made by the President is Public Printer. Besides the impor tant duties of this office, there are over 3000 employees under his control. The law requires besides other things that the places shall be filled by a practical printer. The Hon. John Nichols of Raleigh has been suggested as a suitable man. North Carolina heartily endorses Mr. Nichols. He was raised up in m printing office and knows all about the business, besides his dealing with public affairs more thoroughly fit him for the place and he represents the right section. J. W. Gordon and onr Postofflce. Our State press has had much to say about Mr. J. W. Gordon and our poetoffice here under the next admin istration. We have paid but little attention to the matter or to Mr. Gor don’s candidacy, as we thought it simply a joke. We are now told by friends that he is really in earnest and intends to make a fight for the office. We have no words for this case just now, but we are always tbe colored man’s friend and advocate. They have the work to do in all cam paigns and gets hut little of the honors or emoluments. We want to see col ored men appointed to office, but in every case we want to see such men put forward as will do credit to the office, themselves and the race. Fit ness is the test for place and when a oolored man has that, color should be no bar but if he has not the qualifica tions, we cannot endorse him for a place. What They Will Get. The Weltem Appeal Washington correspondence claims to be well posted aud says the incoming admin istration will take care of leading colored men. He says Hon. Fred Douglass will likely be minister to some foreign country of respectable proportions. That Senator Bruce will be reappointed Register of the Treasury. That Gov. Pincbback will be Naval officer at New Orleans. That Hon. Jno. R. Lynch will b« Minister to Hayti. That Col. Bob Harlan will be again made a special agent for the Postoffice Depart ment. That Hon. J. H. Smytbe or J. W. Cromwell will go to Liberia. In addition to these be mention* several others who will try to he reinstated in positions they once held. There will he many other worthy younger colored men who have done good service for the party and never tasted from its crib, who will expect and justly deserve consideration. All old ex-office holders should not ex pect to get back, for the young men must not be neglected. Young men, the way is open. Come forward. California Migration. The emigration fever struck this section a few years ago and many have since gone from this city to California and other western States. Ahont a hundred from this county have gone to California and are in continued correspondence with their friends here. Several have returned on visits and gone back to California. Mr. Ed Johnson is now in Concord and will return as soon as he straightens up his affairs. Such letters as appeared in the Chronicle last Saturday from Los Angeles only tends to weaken the in fluence of that paper. H. H. Martin, one of best known men of this conntv is in Los Angeles and we take his word and advice. Thousands of our people had made up their minds to go west, but the result of the election has revived hope in them and the emigration business will be considerably checked for the present as our people are willing to take chances in the South under a! republican administration. Does Merit Win. Our readers will indulge a reference to the Conference at Fayetteville, j This body did some things for which i it will he commended and others for which the wisdom of its actions will i be questioned. If there is one place i higher and more honorable than another that place should be filled by I the man who deserves it by his fitness in morals, a strict performance of; duties as well as other qualifications. Merit should win and when it fails to i win, or when favorites are placed ahead of those more deserving, the i work is retarded and good men dis-; couragcd. If it is right to expel or suspend one minister for failing to bring up certain general funds of the church it is not right to promote another minister to Presiding Eldership who is guilty of the same thing and is held up to ridicule before his Con ference for two or three days. The Conference may not be guilty of such a thing, but somebody is. Promo tion should be awarded merit. Min isters should be promoted who have done well with the work in hand, but men whose work has continued to go hack the last five or six years don’t seem just tbe ones to go up ; if so, when one wants promotion they had as well do what they can to tear down the church. The Charlotte Post Office. The biggest and host leaf to be given out by President Harrison to Charlotte will possibly be the post master. The place now pays about i 33,000 besides a patronage of several' appointments; via : deputy postmaster or register clerk, money order elerk, I mailing clerk, delivery clerk, four' letter carriers and a janitor. We; understand this place will not go j begging for applicants. If a Negro is not to have the first place why can he not have the second place and why not have colored letter carriers. The most of our southern cities had all colored carriers under former re publican administrations. We are not advocating nor opposing any one for the place, but simply say anyone who is not in favor of doing the square thing by the Negro shall not have a good word from us and we would advise ail colored men and friends to understand tho position of all applicants before they are endorsed fur the place. If republicans arc to draw the color line what better are they than demo crats ? For our postmaster give us the Negro’s friend. Emancipation Celebration. The time for us to celebrate the emancipation of the Southern slaves ; is approaching and our citizens arc making dne preparations. Capt. C. j 8. L. A. Taylor is ebairmau of the committee of arrangements and Mr. \ J. E. King has been selected a* orator 1 | for the occasion. We look upon this! 1 as an indication that our next celcbra | tion will even surpass the last. Capt. Taylor is a good director of anything, and so far as the arrangements is con | cerncd we have nothing to fear; yet all good eitixens should lend Capt. ; Taylor their aid. W T c should assist , him in all that he asks. The selection | of Mr. King for orator is a happy one. Because first: it is to him we owe these celebrations here in Charlotte. ! A few years ago when our people here paid no attention to celebrating the | day, he suggested and pnt in motion the efforts that now give us annual celebrations here as in other places. To him is due that credit and honor. Then this selection is outside of the pulpit and shows that we think we haTC talent in a class of men not here tofore recognised. It is a recognition of the working men. We bespeak for Mr. King acres of people, believing he will do credit to the occasion. A place and programme have not been settled upon but will he soon and all the freedmen in the county are invited, urged and expected to take part in the celebration on the first of January next. The military, firemen, schools and societies arc all expected to tnrn out in full and give the grand- ! est celebration ever seen in this city. J Let everybody get ready. Fifteen Tears in Hell. We Lave seen a book with the I above title, written by one Mr. j Benton. We never read the hook, j hut suppose Brother J. C. Dancy has j and that paragraphs from its burning pages must have been in his mind i when he made the suggestion j daring the discussion of the committees j report on education in the Conference, j to have the matter lay on the tabic j fifteen years. Brother Dancy thinks fifteeu years from now will he time enough to make special provisions for our girls. Somebody seconded the suggestion of course. There is always some coarse fellow who never wants to see ladies educated and refined, j This cannot he said of Mr. Dancy or 1 the gentlemen named elsewhere in this paper. Yet it is trnc that some who have no care for the morals and intellect of the race sometimes get in the councils of the church which gives them advantage of doing great hurt j to any good cause. “Fifteen years in hell” would be a light punishment to some persons in proportion to what they will get on account of the ill use they make of their opportunities. We have nothing to say against the workings of Livingstone college. It has a great work to do, but it cannot do all the work of the church. There are many reasons why onr church should have a female seminary and before next November all the good ministers of this Conference will agree with us if they don’t vote for it. It must not lay on the table fifteen months. SAVE MONEY AND DISAGREEABLE CONTROVERSIES ! with agents who persuade you to send 08 vour little picture, to New York to have them I enlarged and framed.
