Brooklyn Eagle; . An appeal to the white voters of the North renrhAH the; Eagle last night in the lorm or a letter from a south rn woman. The writer, who is a gt eat errand mother, is a member of one of the distin guished families of the Bontb and is revered in her Missis sippi home. United States Senator Mc- Laurin, in wiitfnir abont her BaTs: "I am proud to nnm- ber her among my warmest und most hic-hlv esteemed friends." In her letter to the Eagle Mra;""' sava she was inspired to make her aDDea to the wbite men of the North on behalf of "the women and children of my beloved sec tion.'? Here follows" her ap peal: To the Whita .Voters of the North: A dark cloud is hovering o'er, our once fair land, the contemplation of wnicn appals the stoutest heart the .threat to asain enact the awful scenes of the days of reconstruction. I am a greatgrandmother, but I mnet take up mv , Den. now long idle, to urge the voters of tha great North to prevent the rain seemingly so near. we, the whole ueonleof the United States, are the great Aryan race: are of a common European descent: Erwlwh. Scotch Irish,' German and French. The wild African. generally . a '.nude cannibal, was imported into the conn' try as a slave, in which eon dition he Ws on let and do- tile until emancipated. "Can yon give your Toice to place these crea turf s in positions down South where are almost entirely,tbe inter ests of whites? Is this great country to be .reduced to a South America, awejeico, a west. ; Indies? A cancer on any part cf the body as sure ly produces death as if locat ed in the heart, PostoflBces conducted hy blacks become unfit for the presence of white women and children, so fonl is every surrounding, made so by loafing nosrroes. who crowd about every ; Govern ment building. Where a negro influence dominates every vestigd of civilization disappears, as is demonstrated in the present condition of San Domingo, Haiti. Jamaica and .Liberia. In the last how many roil lions have been spent -in the vain effort to prodace in the African a similitude of the Anglo-Saxon? Only revolu tions and murders are the re suits, and wild barbarism prevails in all negro governed countries. "When the civil .war com menced the .white men left their families in their homes on the plantation n one fearing barm in such situa tion. All during those four fearful years the slaves nrovi ded the mistress and her children with food, clothing an j fuwl; then women never were so tender and attentive in thair ministrations. Not a crime waa perpetrated on a n hite woman, foi the negroes ivvenwed us almost as the anes lo Heaven. Now thej Hr,nll changed; wild i-roa. tjjreiy regarded wijh fear and horror by women and chil dren, to whom they are da n fferous, if found unprotected by white men. Negroes who have learned to read and write are more idle and inso lent than the ignorant; re garding manual labor ds de grading, refusing work, ex cept as preacher or teacher. Many ex-slaves have a ecu mo lated property, and we all might yet live in amity it let alone, and the negro not have his imagination excited by pictures of eooial equality with the areat white race. which utterly unfits him for anything but a brute. 'Take history and search for a negro who was eer a warrior, a statesman, invent or orruler except of a set of na ked savages like himself, You have:had him amowr you a century, in freedom, and I am mistaken if yon have made him a magistrate, a constable or a car conductor much I?ss a post master. I must suspect that you think him unfit, and are really, cog nixant of his true natnre. Then why torture us; your mothers and sisters, with at tempting to rule the .South with black barbarism? If on ly you would turn your at tention to yourlrealiv dis tressed, restless and desper ate laboring class, the white slaves of mines and raanofac tories. The snows of seventy winters are on my head and tell yon if you will stud v the causes which led up to the French revolution and he destructive wars between Cavaliers and Round head In England, as well as the . Istt days of Rome andotbercoun triesually as powerful as in the United States, you wil see that the sword of fate hangs oyer the North. Hun dredsof thousands of men. all organized, stand idle while their families starve. The canse of this, manipulated by a few millionaire b o n d-holders. "We of the South dreamed of a united nation when Gen. Grant's son fought under the command of Gen. Fitz Hugh Lee, in Cuba and the brave srious of other Union officers followed our Gen. Wheeler. Alasfor-the partisan spirit which .unscrupulous ooliti- cians ha ve engendered ? Could any earthly power place yon under the heel of the black ea vage of Africa? Man v ship loads of:wboro as naked can nibals were brought to Lou isiana as late as tbe50's. Some of these are still to he seen. Rise up in your might and declaie that white men shall govern America, as they did in 1776 The 8th of next November will be the most fateful election a v p held in this country. What measure you meet to us in this crisis be assured will ho ineeted to you and yonr fam ilies when millions ofatArv. ing white slaves in your bor ders will find forhpftrn ceases to he a virtue. A Sontbern Woman." : Obi!"?. Pantha Elizabeth Hartley, daughter of Henry and Del- phia Hartley, was born on Wew River, this county, on the 1st day of Oct. 1886. When her father moved his family to Johnson countv. Term., and settled on Mill Creek a t the foot-hills of Stone Mountain, Pantba was ngirl abont 12 years old. unassu ming, modest, beautiful and bright. At a protracted meeting held by Revs. Harrison Far thing and David Green at Pine Grove rburrh, this mod est damsel professed faith in Christ. She yielded up her heart to God and her comelv form to the liquid wave in Baptism, the sacred rite be ing administered by Rev. Har nson Farthing. Pantha grew to womanhood and gave to her socialcircle perpetual sun shine and joy. She was noted for her industry, her modes tr, ber mild and well balanc ed disposition and for the strength and purity of ber character, She was a model ol chastity and virtue. Pure as the lily that blush es lo the valley or the Immac ulate snow that mantles the mountain peak. She waa mar rled to Fred L. Harman Sen. 19, 1903. Fred waB extreme ly happy In bis new relation ship with this angel of earth. but alas, the decree of fate waa against him. Be .took bis fair young bride to bis borne on Cove Creek, Watau ga county. They started in new married life with hopes buoyant and prospects unu sually bright. The next scene is one of deep sadness and melancholy. The Death an gers bony fingers knocked at the door of this new-made home and called for the young wue and mother. She obey ed tbesummous after about forty days of agony and pain upon a bed of affliction, which -she bore with unbrace dented patience and meek ness. Her ehiett regreseemed to be the leaving of her sweet babe and broken hearted bus band. She went away from earth to heaven before she bad reached her eighteenth year.

Mr. Luther Crrzine. a mem ber of Company b. 7tb Infan try, of Manilla, writes home to his father, Mr, David Cor- zine, some impressions of the Philippines and the Filipinos which we give below. The Philippines as I saw them are a bunch of trouble gathered together on the western horizon of civiliza tion. They are bounded on the west by boodooism and smugglers, on the north by rocks and destruction, on the east by typhoons and monsoons, on the south bv cannibals and -earthquakes. The climate is a combination of electrical chancres Mnnl ly aaopted to raising cam. 1 he soil is extremely fertile in pioducing insurrections and trickery. The inhabi tapts are very industrious. their cheif occupation being trench building, the making or bolos and reloading Rem ington cartridges. Theiramn sements n r e cock fighting and cheating; their diet cons sista of boiled rice, stewed rice, fried rice and rice. The Philippine marriage ceremony is very Impressive, especially the clause wherein tne wile is given theprivelege of working as much as her husband desires. The animal of burden is the Caribon, On a three mile journey it only tae8 three days rations a long; but if the journey be for a hundred miles the driv er usually dies of old age be fore,reacbing his destination. The rivers are serpentine in their courses, the water run ning contrary to all known laws of nature. Manilla, the capital and largest city, is situated on Manilla Bay, a large land locked body of wa ter fuH of sharks battleships and transport boats. Their principal exports are rice. bemp sick soldiers and locoed soldiers. The principal im ports are American soldiers. beer, ammuninition and to bacco: Luzon, the largest is land of the group, resembles a JNoMO boot. Communica tion has been established be tween the cities by using mos quitoes, they being much lar ger and better able to stand the fatigue of the journey than horsrs, The native cos t.ume consists of a flour sack about the waist and anyone under twelve years of age has to wait until next year for theirs. The towns are an ag gregation of shacks bmltof bamboo and vipa, full of bed bugs, .fleas, cur dogs, filth and disorder. The dogs, cats pigs, lice and family all sleep together on terms of enuali ry. The natives are a friend at the mozzle of a gun. The climate is pleatiant for roach es, snakes, tarantulas and scorpions. On the whole the islands are a God-forsaken cannibalized infested blot on the face of the earth. Faith In Hew land's Eleotioa. Salisbury Sun, ; ,; Mayor Hoyden waa made to say through error in an in terview in Wednesday's Char lotte observer and copied in yesterday's Sun that he a oirl bet fl.OOO that Newland s majority would be 2.000.
