RALEIGH, N. C, OCTOBER 9, 1897. CALIBRE OF THE NEWS AND OB SERVER." Communicated. The News and Observer is either a tink liDg cymbal (on which some dissatisfied or miserably defeated creature tries to play in order to attract and rally his for ces) or else it struggles under incurable burdens which time will not erase, hence must decline in consumption. The News and Observer gives Governor Russell and Jim Young undeserved dis credit for the management of the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Institution. We claim to know nothing of the competency of the management of the Institution, but if the News and Observer, in its broad conception of things, has seen that this Institution is not in safe hands, where is the fault in the Governor of North Caro lina, or one negro on the Board of Direc tors? The News and Observer seems to think both. Then if both, one a man of ripe scholarship, a lawyer of no mean ability (indeed, one of the ablest guber ernatorial advisers this side of the Mason and Dixon line), the other one of the ablest politicians of color in the State of North Carolina with these men, whose experience and literary qualifications should at least come up to that of an or dinary editor, why inflict such pernicious indictments without first proving the dissatisfaction of the people with this Institution? Why hold up Governor Russell and Chief Fertilizer Inspector Young to tell the public that the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Institution has incom petent teachers? Quite a wide subject. The unenviable News and Observer is the author of the following in its issue of the 8th ult: "Governor Russell and Senator Pritchard are negroizing Wes tern North Carolina." We thought the day had passed when editors had to fill their papers with intimations of negro hatred. Even the heathens in Africa know that prejudice runs high in Amer ica. Then when questions of National importance are needing discussion by Southern editors, and when the people look upon their pages to find information and instruction, they are faced by light and trashy invectives, it is a disappoint ment; while the Northen journal aroupes ceeper interest in the sciences and the financial secrets of a progressive nation, tenaciously grasping the wealth of the country.wringing the wealth of the South from her proud hands, backed by the illuminous rays that reflect from the ready pen of their National thinking edi tors ours (the News and Observer, that should be the leading daily for tie State) s discussing " negroizing " and Jim Young I The State of North Carolina is proud of her honored son of Ham, and prouder yet to know that men whose depth goes deeper than the insight of the News and Observer has been able to realize, have merit, and will rise in any part of any State in this Union. There is no desire on the part of any negro to be the white man's equal in so cial affairs. He only strives to reach the zenith of his God-given power, and if, in this legitimate flight he soars beyond your grasp, remember he stands in the courts of Caesar with the eloquence of Demos thenes, the odes of Horace, the apoligics of Plato, in the interest of his nation, while you discuss "negroizing" and Jas H. Young ! W. A. Peooans. Eastern Snap Shots. Mips Ida Mathewson, daughter of Rev M. D. Mathewson, has returned from Boston, whither she has been on an ex tended to her uncle, Mr. Frank Mathew son, formerly of this place, but for many years a resident of Boston. Mr. Clarence Cherry is sick with re mittent fever, but is much better since the return of his mother, who was called from Washington, D. C. to his bedside a few da s ago. Mr. F. L. Battle was in the boro on a flying trip last Sunday. Pie agrees with almost every one. Mr. Battle looks bet ter already. Rev. II. P. Walker returned Saturday, but was suffering very much from chills and malaria. He was too sick to leave his bed on Sunday, but the doctor says he will be out in a few days. Mr. C. M. Eppes is on a visit to his old home in Halifax. After spending a few days amid the scenes of his childhood, he will travel with his gramophone and stereoptican. Miss Lucy A. Richards is suffering with chills. He friends hope to see her out again soon. "Soaps Shots" was pained as well as surprised, to read of the death of Mr. Jonah R. Davis, of Rileigh. Only last June we parted with him, apparently in the best of health and every promise of a long life, but alas! "his sun has set while it is yet day." The bereaved fam ily have our heartfelt sympathy. Mr. R. F. Eppes has closed a successful school at Lawrence, and is on a flying trip to Halifax and Scotland Ntck. Mr. Hugh Thorpe, of Rocky Mount, is confined to his room with chills. Miss M. A. J. tends flowers. Hon. Geo. H. White passed the boro en route for Newbern last Siturday. Just so long as the negro is against himself and all Anglo-Saxons united against him, the fight for race advance ment along race lines will be slow. That difference between Miss Young and her assistant (if there was a difference) was no business of the News and Observer's. And it is to be regretted that we still have men(?) in our ranks who will tell any and every thine they hear of a disparaging nature on any member of .the race, male or female, to " Marse Joe." If you can't help the women of our race, for God's sake don't hinder them. Mr. Joseph Simpson, whose illness we chronicled in our last, is reported better. Her many friends in th boro are sorry to learn of the Illness of Mrs. H. P. Cheat ham, who is undergoing treatment in one of the famous hospitals of Washington for general female debility. The child of God who is not willing to contend against the evil tendency of the age will not have many stars in his crown. Negro women who aspire to real wo manhood are fighting the hardest battle of any beings on the American continent to-day. But all the noble things of life come to man through woman and she is contending for a purpose. Mr. J. R. Bailow has just closed his school and epeaks of returning to school soon. "An absorbing love of pleasure which is constantly gratified will bring a man to poverty of mind, poverty of purse and poverty of soul." Munneys Magazine for this month con tains a handsome cut of Congressman White, of North Carolina, accompanied by a fine pen-picture of this illustrious negro leader of which we are justly proud. There will be tw circus s in Tarboro this week. Est-E Quam Videri. Rooky Mount (Jrits. Mrs. Lene Sills, of Noif lk, is visiting her father, Mr. Henry Li ndeey, and other relative1. The Bziar Post-r dice was a regular of co rer. Wtre your3 from your best ? We advis9 Mr. Thomas, of Loui-tburg, to come to Rocky Mount. Things are growing critical. Miss A. L. C. is very busy now a-days perhaps entertaining them. Oii! it was so bad, Miss Rosa. His feel ings w re truly crusted. Ah! ha! Miss Theodosia looks lovely. Do you guess why ? Miss Sarah Drake was very much pleased until she found it was the wrong party, but Mr. Edrnond didn't care. Mr. W. H. Cook must keep out of the Doctor's way. Do you hear ? Our old friend F. L. Brittle is a hero. Ask him about that bad cold. We are sorry to note that Mrs. Wm. Waters is seriousiy sick. We hope she will soon recover. At this writing Mr. Jacob Sherrod is very sick and not expected to live very much longer. Our Hilliardston people will give a grand tournament on October 29th. A grand time is anticipated, for they never do things by halves. Miss Ella, the charming daughter of Mr. and Mis. Isaac Sesaoms, left for Shaw Univtrsity last Friday. We certainly admire them for such noble effort. We need many more like them in our town. The Baziar, given under the auspices of the members ml friends of the A. M. E. Church.with Dr. James Deans as gen eral manager, was a great success indeed. We mention the chief officers on the oc casion: The Sapper Booth was conducted by Mrs. Sluan, and she catered to the goes 8 not on the European but on the American style. The bill of fare was neat and suited all. Th refreshment booth was conducted by Mrs. Washing ton Davis. She served all of the ccoling for the inner man's thirst. The confec tionary and fruit booth was conducted by Mr. P. L. Edwards. Mr. Edwards servtd his guest in greats style, and they would leave him noon to return with their best girl for the second. service. The po?t-office was conducted by Miss A. L. Cobb as postmistress with Mr. W. H. cook as her absisiant. Truly one would have thought they were really in Uncle Sim's employ. They facilitated matters in great style, and many lovely things indeed were tent and leceived through the post office. "Grits" took part in this business!, even though he was mutually agreed at home. Th n came the office of general manager, Riv. Dr. Jas. Deans. It was beautifully ornamented and the Doctor teemed to at home when at his post of duty. C11 Wednesday and Thurs day nights the spelling contest came off. A copy of Goldsmith's work was offered to the candidate that would spell every word given out. o one received the prize, as every member of th class failed. U11 Thursday night votes wtre to be taken on five young ladies and the one who rectived the high st number over one hundred would receive a gold watch. It was "nip and tuck" for a whde be tween the rival Chndid.it.es. The vote stood as follows: Miss Alice Blount, 50; Miss Theodosia Home, 50; Miss Martha N. Davis. 67; Miss Sarah D.ake, 19; iViiss Annie Malone, 160. Miss Malone receiv ing 160 votes was awarded the watch by Dr. Deans in a few well chosen remarks. The Excelsior Bind furi.isbed music for the whole ocefcsion. The net proceeds for the thiee nights were $42.50. The whole of our people congratulate Dr. Dr-ans on puch noble work. He and his members are reeling a be.uviful church ed'fice. It will be a credit to his connec tion a 1 d to the c lor d race of our town. "A e only wi-di fi.r him to remain and live on until his woi k is crowned with the fini.hir.g touch, the church dedicated and its ii fluenc s cast upon the tide of time. Then will all shall say, "Well tio e thou good and faithful servant, in our tuimury you shall never die." The Christian people of all of the other churches in town participated in this grand entertainment, and all had a merry time. Postmaster I. D. Hargett opened the Bazaar on Tue-day night with a short and select speech. All enj yed it. Many good thoughts were produced, aside from wit and humor. The ' broom drill" was a very attrac tive aff tir indeed. Capt. A. L. Cobb knows how to do 'em. W. S. Armstrong. Halifax lit-ins. The crinon-il court convened here Mon day, the 27ih, the docket was a heavy one. Judge Thomas H. Sutton presided over thn court. The Ju ige made deep impression here, as being fair and impar tial, and a man of great legal ability. Miss Robinson, the stenographer of the court, was with him. Ex-Soliciior Collins tells us that be will be a candidate for the solic itorship of this district Tor the coming election. Mr. M ses W. Williams has torn down his old resid. nee, and is hiving a nice t-o-story dwelling, erected on the same s te. Mr. David C.

It is a source of very great pleasure that I give to our readers a fckercb of the proceedings of the Baptist Sunday School Convention, which closed at Louisburg Saturday morning, September 25th, with a tremendous and distinguished delega tion from all over the S a'e. Some of the ablest men and women of our race and country were present. Wednesday night the church was crowded with delegates and (riends to hear the address of welcome and respon ses. Mr. S. P. Hawkins, Dr. R. I. Wal den, pastor, Mr. Yarboro, Mayor of Louis burg. The esteemed and popular Su perintendent, pastor and Mayor deliver ed telling, concise and able'welcome ad dress" before a large audience. They were responded to by Miss Bettie E. Cook, Rev. J. W. Dew and Hon. A. R. Middleton in warm and appropriate words. Major Yarboro, in his address of wel come on the part of the citizens, said some good things concerning the pro gress and advancement of the colored people that we only wiah we could men tion in this writing. It is our belief that in the future the organized County Conventions and Sun day Schools that have not been repre sented will be induct d, by the work of this body for the last two years, to take more iLterest in the work of this august ga hering. The Convention opened for business Thursday morning the 23d, and was called to order by ihe President at 9.30. After devotional exercises President Jus. II. Young made a few stirring remarks relative to the progress of the Conven tion. He was glad to see so many dele gates present. After the enrollment of nearly two hun dred delegates and the appointment of the various committees, several brethren were called upon and addressed the Con vention. Rev. George W. Moore, of Reidsville, coming as a fratenal deb gate from the Western Sunday School Convention, w s heard. Rev. Moore said he brought greet ings to this body from the west and wanted to let us know they were a part of us, and weie working for the same grand cause. Many valuable questions were discussed before this body for the betterment of the cause of the Sabbath School work. Thursday afternoon many more del egates came. Among them were Rev. A. Shepard, Dr. A. W. Pegues, Rev. J. A. Whitted, Prof. S. N. Vass, Rev. M. C. Ransom, Rev. and Mrs. Robert Shepard and Miss Miller. Prof. Vas-, Rev. Whit ted and Miss Miller all addressed the Convention along the line of their work. Friday morning the Committee on Officers reported, recommending the rt election of James H. Young, President, and Dr. N. F. Rob rts, Treasurer, but for just cause they both declined to have their names go before the Convection for re-election. The report was 'hen re-reft-rred to the Committee on Offkers, and the folloing named officers were recom mended and elected for the ensuing year: Rev. A. P. E-iton, President, Duiham; Rev. T. O. Fuller, Recording Secretary, Fianklinton; Rev. S. S. Henue.sjn, Cor responding Secretary, Greensboro; Rev. S. G. Newsotn, Treasurer, Margareltviile. Dr. A. Shepard, President of the Board of Managers of the Orphan Asylum, spoke of the needs of the Institution and the establishment of it in 1872 by the Baptist Sunday School Convention. The Superintendent, Rev. Robert Snepard, also addressed the Convention on the work of the Asylum, He seems to be so earnestly and deeply interested in the work uo one would ever fail to contrib ute something to this noble cause.if they could only hear him tell of the number of children at the home and what is be icg done for them. A collection was taken, amounting to $10. The Conven tion also donated $15 to the A-ylum. Rev. T. O. Fuller preached the annual eermon Thursday night, which was pro nounced by those present as being one of the ablest discoura-s ever heard. Every body enjoyed the sermon. The subject was masterly and eloquently handled by Rev. Fuller. The Convention was one of the largest held in many yeurs. The people of Louisburg showed their generous hospitality in the elegant man ner in which they entertained the large delegation.

Rumors About the Rocky Monnt Post-office--How Advantage U Try Ids: to be Taken. It has been alleged that John G. Snyder, of Rocky Mount, N. C.,a bookkeeper for the firm of Hales ; Jwards. is putting forth a desperate effort to baffle the con firmation of the newly appointed post master at Rocky Mount. N. U., and'in lieu thereof procure the position for him self. On what grounds Mr. Snyder is basing his claim the people here are at a standstill to know. The present incum bent is a life-long RtpuWican and this can ibe easily proven. Madame rumor says that Mr. Soyder bases his claim and s'rength on having been a playmate of Vice-President Hobart, also having the support of a disgruntled Republican whose strength was not sufficient to give even himself anything. The argument here is that Vice President Ilobart would not interfere with our local matters here to satisfy the insatiable appetite of a friend of his boyhood days. The com munity in which Mr. Snyder lives can not vouch for his Republicanism. It can be proven that he never voted other thn a folded ticket. Fair play is what is wanted. If the present incumbent is to be removed let a Republican be givtnthe place who has shown up not only w hen spoils are to be disposed of. but in the heat f the battle, and these are t he times that Mr. Snyder has failtd to show up. He has never been known to be openly identified with the Republican party in any way. It is also rumored tnat Mr. Snyder holds a letter f rem Vice President Hobart requesting him to apply for the port-office in Rocky Mount. Tnis is not believed from the "fact the exaltf d posi tion of the Vice-Prtsident of the United States naturally debars iiim from such an act towards the only colored Con gressional district in the United States Remember, this is a district whose Re l can vo'es are rolled up by the colored peop'e, and Mr. Snyder is known to live in a district where the pof-t-office is not located. The colored ie. ple of the dis trict demand that no one outride of the disttict be appointed to such a position that belongs to the vnters of said a is' net. They further demand that the pre ent incumbent be retained, that they know him to be worthy in every respect. llrief Items Ticked ui Here and There.
