Thia is to certify that the author of the article entitled " Janitor Westmoreland's Piece of Pie,n which appeared in to-day's New and Observer, has laid Baron Mun chausen in the shade, and he should now be recognized as the chief liar of all Christendom. As further proof of the above charge, see bis reference to II. L Wyatt.member of the Edgecombe Guar ds, in last Friday's issue of that paper. And further, I had rather be janitor of the Supreme Court building than to be lick-epittle in the house of Josephus Daniels. J. F. Westmoreland. June 16. The newly elected officers in the Agri cultural Department took charge on last Monday at 12 o'clock. Hon. James M. Mewborne succeeding Hon. S. L. Patter son as Commissioner; Mr. James L. Ram sey succeeding Mr. T. K. Bruner as Sec retary; Mr. James H. Young succeeding Mr. George S. Terrell as Chief Inspector of Fertilizer, and Mr. J. L. Kelly succeed ing Mr. P. C. Ennies as Inspector of Fer tilizer. The Board met last Tuesday and continued James M. Higgs as Messenger and elected Williams, of Monroe, as Janitor of the building. For tears and years the Democrats of the South have complained because, as they alleged, the Republican tariff bills did not protect the great industry of the South, namly, cotton; but during last week, when Senator Bacon, of Georgia, offered an amendment to the tariff bill putting an ad valorem tax of twenty per cent, on raw cotton, of the nineteen votes against it every one was cast by a Demo cratic Senator from the South. This seems strange, but nevertheless it is true. The amendment was passed by a vote of 42 yeas to 19 nays. The affirmative votes were cast by Republican and Populist Senators and three or four Southern Democratic Senators. This vote shows that the Democratic Senators from the South, as a rule, 'are Committed to the policy of free trade and that they are un alterably opposed to the protection of the industries of this country, and through that means giving employment to the millions of laborers thereof. The debate on the amendment was quite interesting and instructive, and was also amusing, as it was confined almost entirely to the Democratic side of the chamber, and showed quite a division of sentiment on that hitherto solid side against protection doctrine. The hope of the South lies in the adoption of protection, and the peo ple of this section will yet repudiate the free trade Democracy and cast their votes for the industrial interests of this section. The Democratic newspapers kept up quite a long and mournful howl last week because the Board of Directors for the Agricultural and Mechanical College, located at 'Raleigh, N. C, made two or three changes in the faculty at their meeting last week. We endorse the dis position to make changes, and our only complaint with that Board is that they did not make quite as many changes as we thought might have been made. We do not subscribe to the doctrine that the only competent and efficient people are to be found in the Democratic party, but on the other hand we contend that men and women, with equal ability along their particular lines, are to be found in the Republican and Populist parties, and only need an opportunity to demonstrate that fact. The people by their votes, in 1894 and in 1896, endorsed a change and they now demand that the changes which they voted for be made. You need pay no attention whatever to the vaporings of the Democratic press nor the writings of the penyaliners employed thereon as correspondents. One of the best rules in politics is to hold the forces you have, especially when they are the majority, rather than seek to placate your enemies. A man can do you much less harm on the outside than on the inside of the house, and the Democrats can do much less effective work against the co-operation forces out of the offices than they can in them. We say let " the horses which have been pulling the plows eat the sweet oats." D. AND D. AND BLIND INSTITUTION. The Trustees of the Deaf and Dumb . and Blind Institution met in regular an nual session last Monday night, and after transacting the routine business went into the election of officers, with the fol lowing result: The office of Assistant Principal, held by Mr. W.

THE BLACKNALL-HAWKINS CON TROVERSY. THE COMPLAINT. Although the railroad waiting-room at this place set apart for negroes is the larger, more convenient and more com fortable of the two, the negroes of the Kittrell Institute are making persistent and determined efforts to invade the one set apart for white people. Before the waiting rooms now just opened were finished, Jno. R. Hawkins, the secretary, ex-principal and moving spirit of the in stitute, wrote to Captain Whisnant, the superintendent of this division of the Sea board Air Line, urging that one room be set apart for ladies and one for gentle men. This was, of cfourse, tantamount to urging that the white ladies of this vicinity should be forced to occupy the same waiting room and be crowded and jostled by the negro girls from the insti tute, as they have repeatedly been treated on the streets of the town white ladies, even while giving half the sidewalk, hav ing on several occasions been knocked into the gutter. Captain Whisnant, very properly, refused to depart from the cus tom of the roid and force anindignity on the white people of Kittrell. Never theless, last week the instituta negroes invaded the white waiting-room in force, and that, too, before the colored waiting- room was filled, although, the session having just closed, a good many Of the pupi's were at the station to take the cars. Great annoyance was caused to the Rev. Mr. Averitt and his wife, who happened to be in the white waiting-room. It was only after great exertions that the rail road agent succeeded in getting the ne groes out. Threats were made by the ne groes that they will yet have the waiting room or kill. Now as to this negro, John R. Hawk ins, who has evidently fomented the whole trouble, he is the same man who some years back from the hustings at this place incited the negroes to strive for social equality, or worse by reciting how at the North, where his race had their rights," he had escorted white ladies about, and soon.adnauseum. Seven years or more have passed since then and Hawk ins, fearing the loss of the contributions of white people to the school, has long been more guarded and covert in his methods, but that speech still survives as an agent of evil in the minds of the ne groes. This institute receives considerable aid from the white people of the South. Now, I call upon every white man. South or North, opposed to social equality, to re fuse support or countenance to a semi nary of such pernicious principles. If they do not refuse, then let the decent people of the country repudiate them. Efforts will doubtless be made to glaze over this matter and to disprove the in culcation of any such principles. I give the facts as they are. That Hawkins' social equality speech, his letter urging Captain Whisnant to abolish all race dis tinction at this plice, the rude jostlings that ladies of the town have received at the hands of the institute girls, the re fusal of the institute negroes Hawkins and others in authority being present to vacate the white waiting-room, are the outcome of the spirit and animus of the school are evident. While the Seaboard furnishes separate waiting rooms for negrces and forces them to confine themselves to such room, I am informed that the "Southern" (what a travesty upon a word hitherto without reproach !) makes no such distinction. If true, it is the duty of the people of the South to resent it and ex press in the most emphatic way their condemnation of the social equality methods and other iniqui ties of the misnamed Southern Railroad. Let the people of Raleigh, Durham, Hen derson, and at all other points possible, patronize the Seaboard or any other road less anti-Southern than the Southern. Let them act in this way, and neither alien millions nor official chicanery can defy them for a day. - And now a word as to the great im portance of the battle which the South has fought, is still fighting, and must ever fight against social equality. With out aid or sympathy from the white race at large we are fighting its most import ant battle a battle for the purity of the race for our branch of it first, for all of it in the end. The determination of the Southern whites to resist every move, be it ever so slight, towards social equality, is the re sult of one of the most wholesome in stincts that nature has implanted in the human heart. It is an instinct working good, and only good, to both sexes. It is the first ste p that counts. The thin edge of the wedge always enters first, but the head and whole bulk always follows. Social equality could have but one end an end very far eff, using the fpan of individual life as a mete-wand, but all too near in the life-time of a race. That end would be miscegenation, amalgamation, a union of races the conversion of the Southern Anglo Saxon into a mongrel breed, more inert, more depraved than the mongrel denizens of Central or South America. I say more inert, more de praved, because on no hybrid has nature set as emphatic a seal of protest as upon the mulatto. Immediate physical and moral deterioration is the almost inevi table result. This is and must ever remain a vital, a paramount question with us. The North erner can better afford to flout it. There are comparatively few negroes with him. No flood of pollution beats and chafes at its barriers eager to engulf his posterity. The danger, while a threat to the whole nation, is vastly more remote to him than to us. Fellow white men of North Carolina and of the South, is it not high time that we had an understanding with this son of Ham in our midst this alien who cele brates the anniversary of Appomattox, who rejoices over our sorrows and sor rows over our rejoicing? We are two to his one. His destiny is in our hands. He can educate his children only by our lar gess. His very franchise he holds only by our sufferance.' He must be made to understand that we have that power and that there is an extremity in which we will use it. Not to oppress him ; not to deprive him of any right ; not to deprive him of any privilege even, except the one that will work his damnation and our own social equality. O. W. Blackball. Kittrell, N. C, May 31, 1897. THE ANSWER. To the Editor: In your issue of June 1, there appeared an article under the cap tion "Social Equality," etc., signed by "O. W. Blacknall," in which injustice is done to me and others connected with the Kittrell Institute at this place, and I therefore ask the privilege of a reply. The facts in the case are as follows: On Thursday, May 27, I purchased from the ticket agent here a large number of tick ets for our students who were leaving for their respective homes on that day. When those for whom tickets were pur ' chased arrived at the depot, part of them went into the waiting-room labeled for colored people, and when that room was filled, all seats being taken and some standing, I went to the ticket agent and politely asked him to please open the other waiting-room so that our girls who held tickets could go in out of the hot sun. The agent eent his assistant to unlock the door and our girls went in and took seats; there was no force, no invasion and no threats, as there was no occasion for any such. When the northbound train ar rived all got on and I joined them and went as far as Henderson to see that all made proper changes there for the west. When I returned to Kittrell, on the 2;17 p. m. train, I was informed that some one had ordered Rev. C. G. O'Kelly, dean of the faculty, who was in charge of those waiting for the southbound train, to take the students out of one of the waiting rooms, and that Mr. O'Kelly declined to do so on the ground that the other waiting-room was full and that there was no where else for the students who held tick ets; whereupon the agent dismissed the matter and went to his office on the other side of the track. There was no exertion, nor even any attempt made to get stud ents out by force and no threat made ac cording to the statement of the ticket agent who told me this morning that he knew of nothing of the kind. As to the annoyance caused the Rev. Mr. Averitt, I know nothing more than what was told to me by Mr. O'Kelly and two of the lady teachers, viz. : that Mr. Averitt approach ed Mr. O'Kelly with some harsh language to which Mr. O'Kelly replied, using the same language in return. The writer does not state facts when he says I was present at this occurrence, as the truth is I was in Henderson, eight miles away. The only instance in which the writer quotes me correctly is when he eays I wrote to Captain Whisnant, the superintendent, asking that one room be set apirt for ladies and the other for gen tlemen. I did this, not to force any issue of social equality, but because I thought it more in keeping with the spirit of en lightened sentiment and the Christian civilization of a progressive age, and as I told Capt. Whisnant, because I thought it would serve to promote peace and har mony and be more in keeping with law and order. I deny the assertion that I have in any way raised the issue of "social equality," either as connected with this waiting-room business or other wise. That question did not and should not enter into it at all. It is a matter of simple justice and should be settled on that line. . When Capt. Whisnant replied to me that his company put up signs " accord ing to the orders of the Railroad Commis sion," I had no more to say to him and knew where to go next, if necessary. I deny that I ever "incited the negroes to strive for social equality." It is a ques tion I never discuss anywhere. It needs no discussion. In the minds of all fair minded people it will settle itself. In a speech here several years ago, I took oc casion to appeal to my people to be men, true men, honest men, loyal good men, to stand by their friends everywhere, to stand up for the right and never com promise manhood and character. I re futed the insinuations that nowhere was the negro respected, by saying that I had been in many places, among many people, where the treatment meted out to me was not as towards a negro, but as to a nian. I am not responsible for the biased con struction or interpretations of other fer tile brains. And just here I take occa sion to inform the public and the writer that I stand now where I have always stood on the bread principle of truth, right and justice to all men, believing as an illustrious statesman said: " Equality of rights is the first of rights." As to the white ladies of Kittrell or any body else being "knocked into the gutter" by the "institute girls," it is so foreign to the reputation of our school that it hardly needs a reply. . This is the first we have heard of this. Had anything like this ever occurred here it would have been known far and wide. What ! Women of one raoe knocked into the gutter by the women of another race in North Carolina and nothing said about it at the time. Believe it, never The proud, brave, noble-hearted, chivil rous and beautiful white women of North Carolina would never offer or suffer such and the world knows that their brave husbands and fathers and brothers would too readily defend them against any such treatment, and the same may be said of our own proud, brave, noble-hearted, chivalrous and beautiful colored women of North Carolina and their brave hus bands and fathers and brothers, who ad vocate the right. I am glad to inform the public that we have many evidences of expressions of good will and kindly feelings existing towards our school from the very best white people of Kittrell. Many have tes tified, and still repeat it, even after read ing the article in yesterday's paper, that our school has been well managed and been a blessing to the community. We have always counselled peace. We have been courteous and polite to every body, and tried to manage our school business so as to improve the community as well as our large number of students. Very true, our institution is indebted to some of the best people of the South for substantial interest. Such people as Messi s. Rainey, Capebart, Williams, Hunt, Crudup, C. L. Black nail, Kittrell, Person, Suggs, Moore, Wbodliff, Hedge peth, Reid, and- others of Kittrell, with whom we have had business dealings for the past ten years, and Messrs. Washing ton and B. N. Duke, Col. J. S. Carr and Mr. George W. Watts, of Durham, to whom we are willing to submit our cause in the interest of common humanity. "The decent people of the country" will not "redudiate" these for the good they have done and are still willing to do. Passing over that part of the article which concerns the rules and regulation8 of two different railroad systems, I beg to submit just a word in reply to that part of the article touching " the impor tance of the battle which the South has fought, is still fighting and must ever fight." I do not agree that it was, it is, or it must be a battle agaist social equal ity. Not that at all. The late unpleas ant struggle was over the question of secession and freedom. Both sides went into the struggle believing they were right. They fought it out manfully and bravely to the end, when it was settled, and, I hope, for all time and all classes. The Negro recognizes that he has no time to sit down and bewail the past, and no efforts to be spent disputing over social matters. He is too anxious and eager to prove the doctrine that " the fittest will survive." He feels, as Sir Bulwer Lyt- ton says, that " It is not to the past but to the future looks true nobility and finds its blazon in posterity." There need be no fear of invasions or intrusions on our part. Give us simple justice and we will be satisfied. This is all we ask, and nothing more. I am not responsible for the color of my skio, or the texture of my hair. I am as God made me. and whatever others may choose to call me I feel and know that I am a man with God's stamp of approval tn my man hoed. That manhood I shall try to re spect and honor with my best deeds and noblest thoughts. And why should I and all my race fail to rejoice over the blessed institution of freedom God's gift to mankind ? We are not "aliens" in America, but freedmen, and free men free born and patriotic, loyal to our friends, loyal to our State, loyal to our country, loyal to our flag, loyal to truth and duty. We celebrate the anniversary of Appomattox not because it means any man's sorrow there should be no sorrow over it but because it means the opening of life for a struggling people and the beginning of a new era of peace and prosperity for our entire American continent with one land, one constitution, one fleg, one destiny and one God. We care nothing for social equality. We care all for right, truth and justice. John R. Hawkins. Kittrell Institute, Kittrell, N. C, June 2, 1897. News and Observer. Got. Russell's Detractors. Ita, N. C, May 4, 1897. Mr. Editor: We occ isionally hear of some modern Solomon, who doubtless wonders why the world is so slow in recognizing his greatness, finding some excuse for complaining of Gov. Russell. Is this because they are so unused to a real Governor, or do they hope for noto riety by attacking the Chief Executive of the State, knowing his dignity and position protects them from his comment or notice? And were it possible for him to condescend to notice them, some would have to go unanswered, because some jackasses are so small that no harness could be found to fit them. The people living out here in the backwoods, of all creeds and colors, are very differently impressed with his official course. His stand on the railroad lease question is strongly endorsed by the people, regard less of political affiliations; in fact, his every official act hasmet the approval of the masses in this entire section of coun try. The very exalted opinions we entertain of him may be accredited to our igno rance. Then we would ask, in all sin cerity, would it not be far better for the principles we profess to love, if some of our too-intelligent, self -crowned mon arch would climb down a little, and see things as the common folks see them? So differently do they appear to us, that counties can be named in which some effort was necessary to pass resolutions and endorsements, our last conventions, that would require more than could be found now to prevent their passage. Though a people we are who earn our bread by the sweat of our brows, we have great admiration for a man who has honest convictions and abundant courage to sustain them. Our Populist friends, as well as a great many Demo crat, are as loud in their praise of Rus sell as the most ardent Repnblican. May his shadow never grow less, and the GArETTE prosper. One of Them. Outings. Summer, "the gladdest season of all the year," is with us at last. The various clubs in the city have not been slow in realing this, either, as the number of picnics that have been planned for the near future will prove. On Wednesday of last week the Excelsior Club left the city's busy whirl to spend a day on the banks of the Neuse. It was their first outing this season. Miny pretty girls went out with this jolly crowd of boys. All had a fine time; no accidents hap pened and everything passed off nicely. Mrs. Holeman and Mrs. Cato Thornton acted as chaperones. The Royal Pleasure Club, numbering fifteen members, invited seventeen per sons to go on their first outing excursion to Penny's pond last Wednesday, as the guests of the club.' Chaperones: Mrs. Brodie Rogers, Mrs, S. Freeman and Mrs. Isaiah Rayner. The Silver Star Club will, on Thursday, June 24, go on the largest picnic excur sion of the season to Rind's mills. This is a beautiful spot, seeming to have been set apart by nature for this especial pur pose. Quite a number of persons of dis tinction are expected to be with the Sil ver Star boys. Franklintoo Christian College The closing exercises of the eighteenth annual session of the Franklinton Chris tian College were held in the college chapel on the 24th, 28th and 29th of April, 18i.

We were very ghvl to have with us Bros. G. W. Dunn, T. J. Levister, J. H. Mabry, Wm. Williams and others, who made some very interesting and encouraging remarks, after which the president, Rev. N. D. Reynolds, made hi farewell ad dress. The organ then peeled forth in touching strains " God be with us till we meet again." Benediction pronounced b Rev. G. W. Dunn. Rocky Mount Grits. Hon. W. C. Coleman, of Concord, graced our town last week. We regret that he could not stay longer and let our people learn more of his work. Miss Ava Cobb attended the closing of the Franklinton High School, of which she recently graduated. Mrs. M. M. Hines left for Fayetteville last Friday, where she will visit relatives and friends. Mr. M. M. is enjoying his cycle now-a-days. Miss Martha Cook returned home after a pleasant visit to her uncle, Mr. A. J. Cook, last Triday. On Tuesday night Mr. W. H. Cook gave an ice cream sup per in honor of Mies Cook at the resi dence of Mr. J. J. Cook. The following were the invited guests: Lawyer H. W. Hunter with Miss M. A. Cook, Mr. C. E. Spicer with Miss Tbeodosia Home, Prof. W. U. Cook with Miss Martha Davis, of Dinville, Va., Mr. M. W. Blount with Miss Annie Malone, Mr. W. L. Wilson with Miss Mittie Alston, Mr. S. M. Young with Miss Laura Davis, Mr. ChasvMason with Mi-s Bessie Burt, Mr. B F. Rawlins with Miss Ella Westry, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Bullock, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Milone. Mr. W. II. Cook delivered the tast at 10 o'clock, responded to by Messrs. Hunter and Spicer, after which all were refreshed ana made happy. After the refreshments Miss Cook, in a neat and select response, thanked the host for such honors conferred; responded to by M:s:es Malone and Home. Mr. Everett, of Goldsboro, was in our town during the week. Mr. Henry Vick, who recently grad uated in pharmacy at Shaw University, graced our town with his presence this week. He is a brilliant young man, and has a bright future before him. We wibh every success in life. Hon. W. W. Watson, of Whitakers, was in our city last Saturday. We are very sorry indef d to note the continued illness of Mrs. Florida Penny. We wish for her a speedy recovery. We are glad to note that Mr. Jacob Sherrod is improving. Miss Mittie Alston is stopping with her aunt, Ma. I.-aiah Williams, duringher va cation. Mr. William Walters and wife attended the funeral cf his sister at Whitakers last Sunday. Mr. Henry Cherry, of Tarboro, paid our city a visit last Saturday. He is a chip of the old block, and gets there, too. Prof. Lawrence Wortham, of Oxford, passed through our city en route to Tar boro last Sunday. He will teach in Edge combe. Presiding Elder Sutton; of the A. M. E. Z. Church, preached very able sermons last Sunday at Rev. Kelly's church. Miss Tate, of Wilmington, has been the guest of Mrs. Thomas Weston during the week. Congressman Strowd seems to be very indiscreet, indeed. He comes over in Congressman White's district to under take to appoint postmasters, and the one in Rt cky Mount especially. We think if Mr. Sti o ti could make any appointments at all, he should confine himself to his own, the fourth district. He should also remt ruber that he opposed Senator Pritch ard's re-election. Congressman White certainly can manage his district.' Prof. I. D. H irgett went to Washing ton and Baltimore last week. He reports an excellent trip, and found matters all right. Good. The Odd Fellows' annual thanksgiving was a very euccessfull afiair. Rev. Dr. Deans delivered two eloquent sermons on the occasion and illustrated the many benefirs now beiDg derived from the Or der. II is il ustration of the devotion that existed between Jonathan and Duvid were very pathetic and eloquent indeed. The contri mtions amounted to forty dol lars and six cents. Dr. Green, of Krnston, is the guest of Mrs. Mai ia Mitchell. He will probably locate here. W. S. Armstrong. Stnithfleld Notes. The Columbian ITgh School, of which Mr. W. G. S inders is principal, will close June 11th w-th appropriate exercises. Mr. J. M. B-ckwith will deliver the ad-' dress and the young ladies, under the direction of Miss Geneva L. Beckwith, will give the Empire Drill. A game of base ball will also be played by the Smith field and Wilson teams. The public are invited to attend. The Preparatory school, of which Prof. J. W. Byrd is principal, closed lat v eek. Misses India Alford, Amanda Holland, Florence Whitfield, Sarah Holden and Olive SmithT att-nded the closing exer cises of Rev. W. T. II. Woodward's school at Wilson lat week. Mr. Nestus Eipon and Mr. Walter Hol land,' of Rocky Mount, were here last week. The orphan children, under the care of Estella Ancrum, gave a nice concert at the Baptist Church Thursday night. Miss Mary E. Thomas returned from Wilson Saturd y. Rev. and M8. Wm. H. Brown, Mrs. Chaa. Hodges, Miss Minnie E. Brown and quite a mimbtr of others attended a funeral at Princeton Sunday. Mr. J. E. Smith and Miss Ad ell Whit field are fond of chills. Mrs. Lucy At kinson is alfto on the sick list. " Lucile." From the Washington Post, May, 1897. Senator Mart? Hanna is as busy these days as he was during- the campaign. His mail is larger and his callers grow in numbers. He was asked the other day why he received so many visitors. "Be cause they have a right to see me," was his reply. "You know," he added laugh ingly. "I got acquainted with a good many people before the St. Louis Con vention met, and I never forget old ac quaintances. I told them if they ever wanted to see Mark Hanna they should see him, and I propose to hold to my word. Then, during the campaign, my circle of acquaintances expanded still wider. Sometimes people would say, 'Mark Hanna will have no use for them after election." I always told them he would have just as much use for them as he had during the campaign. That's the lan I'm trying to follow up. I don't be ieve in asking a man to help me before an election and forgetting him as soon as it is over, and I think anybody who comes all the way to Washington to see me should not be disappointed. I may not always be able to do what he wants, but I do the best I can." Nkwbern, N. C, May 13, 1897. To whom it may Concern : After reading the foregoing, I was moved bv a spirit of justice to have a few thousand circulars containing the matter printed for free use among the masses, who never, or seldom, read a newspaper, so that they might and know that the Republican National Commiteee had graced the Republican party when it elected 'M. A. Hanna, Eaq., National Chairman, who is made up ot two unique parts, viz.: nine-tenths divine, one tenth man. His answer to this query makes him a most remarkable man, reasonable, fair, honorable, and as pure a man as one in this life ever could be and live. Respectfully, A Republican. Grand Rally. Apex, N. C. At the First Baptist Church of Apex, N. C, there was a grand rally last Sun day, at which $21.05 was collected, $6.00 of which was for the benefit of the pas tor. The rally service was interesting; so also was the able sermon by Rev. T. II, Page. His text was taken from Poalms, 5th caapter and 3d verse. ' SOUTHERN RAILWAY. CONDENSED SCHEDULE.
