RALEIGH. N. C., JUNE 5, 1897.
la order that our readers may know
something of what some people in this
Southland are still thinking and believ
ing, we publish in another column a let
ter from Bill Arp, in the Observer of last
Sunday. Mr. J. W. Lyons, a respectable
colored man, is an applicant for the poet
office at Augusta, Oa., and is endorsed
by the Republican leaders of that State
for the position. Mr. Lyons is the-mem
ber of the National Republican Execu
tive Committee, and was a leading dele
gate from that State to the St. Louis Con
v&dtion last year, and stood by Major
McKinley , loyally. You will observe
that Bill Arp does not attack his capa
bility or fitness, but simply and solely ob
jtcts tchis appointment because he is a
Negro, which, in his eyes and the eyes of
all who think as he does, is a sufficient
reason, it mignc nave answered lorty
years ago. when Negroes were chattels
instead of free American citizens; but
let me kindly and politely inform you,
Mr. Arp, that you will have to find anoth
er and more potent reason in these latter
days of the 19th century. By the help
of the Lord, his own efforts and the aid
of kind friends, both North and South,
the Negro of to-day is cultivating his
capabilities, making good of his opportu
nities and acquiring property, also, and
realizing that every desire and aspiration
of the white man for good is also in his
own breast. It affords us pleasure to say
that the sentiments expressed by Bill
Arp are not shared by all the Southern
white people. The only unkindness we
wish Mr. Arp is that some one could catch
him and take him to the Commencements
of some of our North Carolina Institu
tions for the education of negroes, be
cause it would bring him to a revelation
similar to that given Saul on his way to
Damascus, and we hope with similar ef
fect. It is needless to say that Mr. Arp
is a Democrat, for none but a Democrat
would write such stuff about his fellow
American citizen. '
NORTH CAROLINA BEING WELL
TREATED.
We rejoice to see that President Mc
Kinley, aided by the effoi ts of Senator
Pritchard, is doing so well by North Car
olina in the distribution of the big plums.
Some years ago we had recognition in
the Department of Justice. Lnt with, thai
exception we have heretofore been almost
entirely ignored in the appointments of
prominence outside of the State patron
age. We felt sure when supporting Ma j.
McKinley for the nomination in the
spring of 1896 that with him as Presi
dent to give, and Senator Pritchard to
ask, that our State would be as fully rec
ognized as could be done consistently
with justice to the other forty four States
of this great Union, and our expectations
have been realized. The appointment of
Col. James E. Boyd last week to the po
sition of Assistant Attorney General
places him in direct line for promotion
to the Cabinet if at any time in the future
a vacancy in that department should oc
our, and is a deserved recognition of our
white Republicans, while the appoint
ment of Hon. H. P. Cheatham to the
Jlecordership is an unprecedented recog
nition of the zealous and faithful colored
Republicans of the State. We feel and
believe that there are other big plums
equally as good as the ones spoken of
above to fall to the lot of some tar-heel
Republican, but we also recognize the
fact that there are many conflicting in
terests from, the various States to be
reconciled before the President can satis
factorily act in such cases, and we there
fore urge that great patience be exercised
by applicants from our State. The Ad
ministration has done well by North Car
olina so far, and we beg to suggest to
Senator Pritchard that some of the greedy
Democrats now holding office in the State
be made to walk the plank in favor of
the local Republicans. However, having
confidence in Senator Pritchard, we leave
this matter to him. North Carolina is to
the front.
COUNTY BOARDS OF EDUCATION.
On next Monday the Boards of County
Commissioners of the various counties,
acting with the clerks of the Superior
Court and the Registers of Deeds thereof,'
will meet to elect the three members of
the County Board of Education, as re
quired by the school law passed by the last
Legislature. In order that the section cf
the law requiring this election may be
fully understood, we reproduce it here:
The Board of County Commissioners,
together with the Clerk of the Superior
Court and the Register of Deeds of each
county, shall on the first Monday in June,
1897, and triennially thereafter, elect
three men of their county, of good busi
ness qualifications and knovm to be in
favor of public education, who shall con.
stitute a county board of education, which
board shall enter upon the duties of their
office on the first Monday in July follow,
ing their election, and shall assume all
the powers and duties which the County
Commissioners now have regarding the
public school matters of the county. ,
We hope that our readers generally will
take an interest in this election and see
that all interests are fully protected in the
selection of the men who are to compose'
the various Boards. On this subject an
editorial in the News and Observer of last
Saturday is not only instructive but af
fords some amusement to those who have
kept up with current events intbia State
'or the past twenty-two years. The edi
torial says:
It is of great importance to the State at
this juncture of its educational policy
that the county boards of education shall
be wise and prudent men, in earnest and
hearty accord with the spirit of improv
ing the public schools.
No great progress along any line can be
accomplished as long as the people are
denied the advantages of education, and
unless the county boards of education are
selected with an eye single to improving
the schools, there is little hope for im
provement. Politicians who want a place
for themselves, or who want to be elected
to select their favorites to teach in the
public schools, will prostitute the only
agency for thq uplifting of the people to
selfish ends, and should not be chosen.
Under the new law the board of educa
tion in each county is to be appointed by
the county commissioners, register of
deeds and clerk of the Superior Court. It
is to be hoped that these officials will rise
supetior to party or selfish considerations
and choose men because of their intelli
gent interest in public education. Edu
cators and public-spirited men in all por
tions of the State ought to use every pos
sible influence to secure for the manage
ment of the schools the best and fittest
men in each county men who will put
the tduca' iun of the children above every
other consideration.
The aruusiDg part of it is to be found
when that editor says: "Politicians wlio
want place, etc., will prostitute, etc., to
selfish ends." We tike it that he ought
to know, for his party did that very
thing for over ten jears, until their con
duct of the public schools became a stench
in the nostrils of teal true friends of that
system and theeople rebuked them at
the po'ls foruch misconduct. That
editor f urmgnes some amusement when
he says: lt is to be hoped that these
officials will rise superior to party," etc.
Why, bh as your life, Mr. Editor, if the peo
ple had not known that they were electing
men who would do that very thing they
would have let your partisans continue
in office. It was because your party
friends had failed to do the very thing that
you wan t these officials to do no w tha tyour
party was driven from power. We will not
have to look far from home to see every
school committeeman selected by your
party, with few exceptions, a Democrat
of the most partisan stripe, and superin
tendents elected under the old system not
more than two years ago would go so far
as to tell negro teachers that if they did
not vote the Democratic ticket, or against
the Co-operation ticket, that they (the
supeiinttndents) -would refuse to give
them certificates, or allow them to teach
school. Yea, more than that, we know
of instances where school committeemen
who belonged to the Democratic party
refused to let white men teach public
schools because they were members of
the Populist party. But why take up
space to tell of the misdoirigs of the
Democratic partisan school boards in the
past? In some counties'the little stipend
of school money justly belonging to the
negro children was often either denied
them or grudgingly given them. But,
thank the Lord, these things are in the
past, and let us hope and work to prevent
their repetition in future. The advice of
the News and Observer along this line is
entirely gratuitous and is not needed.
The officials in question now represent
the people and will do what is right and
for the best interests of tha educational
cause. You need give yourself, no un
easiness, . Mr. Observer for your party
will not be required to reap what it so
industriously sowed for the past eighteen
years. The News and Observer, like all
the Democratic newspapers in the State,'
and the politicians of that party, have
become intensely nonpartisan since they
have lost control of affairs. Not a single
one of your false prophesies have come
to pass because of the repudiation of
Democracy in the S ate, and hence you
stek indirectly to control affairs. The
people know you, the officials have heard
of you, and although you hide your
claws in the velvety hand that you stretch
forth you will be surely kept at a safe
distance. The school matters will surely
be taken out of the political cess-pools
tnat Democracy put them in.

BILL ARP TALKS POLITICS.
Horace said in one of h's philosophic
odes that " anger is a brief fit of lunacy.''
Then lam ready for the asylum right
now, for I am mad mad with McKinley,
and Buck, and Bullock, and the Grand
Army, and the Republican party, and
everybody else who is trying to impose
on our people. The Grand Army de
mands the publishing of a school history
that will make Southern history treason
odious to the generations to come. This is
not the trand Armyjfor they are about
all dead except the pensioners, but it is the
grand army of political plunderers who
don't want any peace with the south.
GeneralGrant said: "Let us have peace,"
and Lincoln said so, too, but these politi
cians are afraid of peace. Peace would
wet all their ammunition. It is a very
late date to revive this cry of treason..
The argument has been long since ex
hausted and now nothing is left but dis
gust and contenipt for the political schem
ars who seek to perpetuate discord. Trea
son is a favorite cry among pretended
patriots,, Athaliah murdered the sons of
the king ad usurped the throne, and
when the prophet ordered her to be slain
she rushed forth and cried treason, trea
son ! When Patrick Henry in his first
great speech denounced George the IV
the j udges cried treason, treason ! Well,
I reckon that Patrick Henry and Bea
Franklin, and Jefferson, and Adams, and
Payne were the first traitors this country
produced, and we don't mind being in
their company. In fact, we are proud of
it. I get awful mad when I read the vile
slanders of the Northern papers. The
Scriptures tell -us to love our neighbors,
but those fellows up there are not our
neighbors, and it is not forbidden to hate
an army, is it? -
My contempt for that "grand army" is
not limited by time or distance or the
statute of limitations, but I had made up
my mind to let them alone if they would
let me alone. Of com Be there are some
clever men belonging to it just like there
are some clever men in the Republican
party, but lhat don't prevent me from
hating both of the concerns as organiza
tions, collectively and categorically.
Schemers and plunderers, and scalawags
and slanderers run both. - Nobody but an
unprincipled politician would seek to put
a negro in the postoffi.ee at Augusta or in
any other Southern town. It is an'inBuIt
to our people and there' is no excuse for
it no palliation. Of all the offices in the
gift of the government there, are none
about which the people have such moral,
social and political rights as the poetof
fices. Every man and woman in the com
munity should be consulted, if it were
possible. But as it is not, then the public
sentiment should be considered and the
business men be consulted and nobody
should be appointed who would not be
acceptable to a large majority of the peo
ple. In fact, there should be no partisan
ship about it. In a Democratic commun
ity a Republican who could not get a
majority vote should not ask for nor re
ceive the office, but inasmuch as the rule
now is that to the victors belong the
spoils of course we must submit. We in
the South must take the best Republican
we can find, but no President who is a
gent'eman will seek to put a negro in this
office and no politician who is a gentle-
man will ask him to do it. It is an office
that emphatically belongs to the people
of the community. It concerns them and
them alone. No doubt but that 90 per
et 0f jji e letters and papers and
money u.ers that go and come from Au
gusta are to W white people of that city.
Besides that, the color v.ne is drawn at the
South, and McKinley kncs it, and tto
does Buck and Bullock, and liey cannot
wipe it out. When will our people quit
running after these seal wagswho would
stab us with the blade of Joabf while they
embrace us and says: "Hplrtf thou,
my brother?" . J
What is there that a politician will not
do for office? Whan the sexton threw up
a skull Hamlet laid: "Perhaps it is the
pate of a politician, one who would cir
cumvent God." And it does seem us if
they had become hardened to all sense of
the proprieties of life. A hundred years
ago Sheridan wrote: "Conscience has
nothing to do with politics." Our people
have been doing their best to think well
of McKinley and esteemed him as a clev
er, upright gentleman, but the fact that
he entertains the idea of appointing Ly
ons to Augusta ha9 wiped out all respect
for him. The mugwump Democrats who
voted for him have all become cross-eyed
and can't look you straight in the-face.
Why did he single out that bright little
town of HogaDsville to insult her people
with a negro postmaster? Why does he
not appoint negroes to the northern towns
where they claim there is no color line
towns whose white and black go to the
same school and sometimes intermarry ?
And now there is a'nother'trouble here
in Cartersville. A Michigan man moved
here not long ago with his family and
went into partnership with a negro black
smith and they all live together on terms
of social equality and eat at the same
table, and as the Michigan man's children
go to our public school he has been noti
fied that they cannot go there any longer.
So he has taken his children away, and
says he don't care a damn what our peo
ple think and he will do as he pleases, for
it is a free country. Well, that is hard
on the children, but the time has not yet
passtd when the sins of the father will
oa vianea upon tne cnuaren. lie mw
Tea 4
school as that would be more consistent
with,hnrprincip!es, but it is hoped that
he will pack up and go back to Michigan.
The line is drawn and will remain.
Thirty-four years have passed since free
dom and there is no change, neither in
hotels nor churches nor public convey
ances or places of amusement. Both
races would be content if it were not for
the politicians. As long as the negro has
a vote he will be made a fool of by the
candidates. They say that Lyons is moral
and capable. Suppose that he is he is
an impudent idiot to want to thrust him
self where he is not wanted. No gentle
man will do that, either socially or poli
tically, and no gentleman will help him
do it. Thank heaven, we will now be rid
of Buck for four years to come. I wish
that more of his sort would leave the
country for their country's good. And
now I think I feel better. Bill Arp.
KNOWN BY ALL MEN.
The Raleigh Tribune, the so-called Re
publican daily, whose suspension we
noted last week, not only had an unsavory
reputation in these parts among loyal
Republicans, but its spleen and venom
was seen by all who read it. It. is as hard
now to serve God and mammon as it was
in the days of old, and it is equally as
hard to be a Democrat and seek to write
matter favoring Republican principles
now as then. The Washington Post,
speaking of the suspension of the Tribune
in an editorial, says:
The suspension of the Raleigh Tribune
is neither a surprise nor a loss to the com
munity in which it had its brief existence.
The Tribune was established a few months
ago as a party organ whose sole aim was
to further the political ambitions of cer
tain gentlemen. It made no attempt to
enter the legitimate field of journalism,
and from its very inception -disclosed its
mission. The news reports of the Tri
bune were colored in order that the po
litical fortunes of its promoters might be
advanced and its editorial page fairly
reeked with political selfishness and un
fairness. The failure of the Raleigh Tri
bune speaks well of the intelligence of the
people of North Carolina. When a set of
politicians thinks it necessary for them to-
start a newspaper, then is an excellent
time for the people to refuse to subscribe.

. The Teachers' Association.
The coming Teachers' Association, to
be held at Shaw University , in very many
respects will be as it shoul.l be, the best,
most instructive and enjoyable of any of
its pre decessord.
(a) In the first place, thia organization
has passed its crysalis state of narrow
ness, sectarian jealousy, political pot
boiling, selfish promotion, and long,
windy, empty speech-making and parlia
mentary wrangling. These things have
held sway, but now, as was manifest last
year at Kittreil, regular orders are called
lor, brevity and something-to-say are de
mand d, the bigot, egotist, all important,
nai row churchmen, wranglers and windy
speakers are no loDger tolerated. These
wholesome changes have come and have
come to stay.
(b) In the second place, the program is
more varied, covers greater scope, and
some of the best educators of the two
races have leading parts. This, in itself,
is a step in the right direction.
(c) In the third place, nearly all, if not
all, of the speakers on the program were
consulted and agreed to come with their
prepared parts before their names were
put on the program, which of itself is a
guarantee of the carrying out of the pro
gram as -laid out. And finally, the local
arrangements are about complete for the
enjoyment, comfort and instruction of
the visiting teachers during their stay in
Raleigh. We are reliably informed that
two or three outings are already planned
and will be systematically and orderly
carried out, combining pleasure with in
struction. On one afternoon an tduca
tional trip will be taken to the Insane
Asylum and the S ate prison, both within
one mile and a half of the University
grounds; on another, such a trip will be
made to and through every nook and
corner of the State Capitol, the Supreme
Court and State Library building, and
the State Experiment farm; on a third,
to the U. S. Cemetery and other interest
ing points in the city. The Committee
on Outings are. Dr. N. F. Roberts, chair
man; Rev. R. H. W. Leak, Messrs. E. A.
Johnson, Frank Dabnam, Revs. J. E.
King and A. G. Davis.
The ladies on the social entertainment
committee, Aiesdames Fannie Peace,
Charles Cardwell, Maggie Capehart, R.
E. Watts, Martha Bemery, Jonah Davis,
Hugh McNair, Alice Evans, Misses Anna
Graves, Hattie Hyler and Mary Burwell,
are a full guarantee of no failure as to
social features and refreshments highly
relished and enjoyed.
There will be games on the campus for
proper amusements during the late and
cool hours of the afternoons, such as ten
nis, croquet, quoit pitching, etc., but
during tne hours of the sitting of the
convention no games will be allowed to
be played since we all come for educa
tional, profit first and social amusement
afterwards. The committee on campus
games and amusements, N. C. Bruce, J.
Levister, W. B. Crittenden, L. B. Cape
hart, Misses A. Whitaker, Elenora Mitch
ell, S. A. Upperman and Bettie E. Cook,
are well prepared to keep things a-going
to the satisfaction of all visiting lovers of
out-door amusements. Let every man
and woman and child in possession of a
bicycle bring it along, for an effort is
being made to have a big outing on
wheel 8 early one morntng before break
fast to Neuse river and some other enjoy
able points.
None of these enjoyments will be al
lowed to conflict with any of the regular
work of the Association as mapped out
in the program. ' ; . An Officer.

On June 7th, the public schools of
North Carolina will, it la earnestly hoped,
take a step forward.
, We rejoice that there are men and
women in the confines of our grand old
Commonwealth, who recognize the time
when objections should be advanced
against the enactment of anything into
law. While we do not agrte with the
Wilmington Record in needltss charac
terizations of an opponent, we would
advise this prominent negro to attend the
educational gatherings of the race and
become acquainted with the trend of
thought.
Some of our newspaper editors of inex
perience and youth should not forget,
when dealing with questions that atl-ct
us as a people, that zeal without judg
ment is an evil, though it be zeal unto
good; touch not the ark with unclean
hand, yea, though it seem to totter.
There are evils which work good and thei e
are good which work evil." " So hath it
.often been that, judging by results, the
hottest friends of truth have done her
deadliest wrong. Hence draw jour
lines around something." 20th Century
Moralists.
We appreciate an invitation to attend
the Commencement exercises of the Nor
mal Department of h storio Howard
University, Washington, D. C. Some of
the most t-ucceesf ul men of the race claim
" Howard" as these Alma Mater.
