A Religions Journal says "Disfranchise" the Negro. The Biblical Recorder, of which Mr. J. W. Bailey is editor, in its issue of last week said : The colored man will be with ua of the South always. Hia tribe now numbers 7,000,000 ; his increase is about 200,000 annually. To send him back to Africa is impossible, and if it were not impossible, it would be utterly impracticable. To colonize him in this couutry is also both impossible and impracticable. Amalga mation is losing ground instead of gain ing, which is vastly to the credit of our country. So the co'ored man is here to stay. We must take account of him, we must reckon on him. Since the gates of Eden closed on Adam and Eve no greater calamity has befallen a people than that which was thrust upon the stricken South by the act giving 1,000,000 slaves, sons of generations of slaves, the right of franchise. From that day until now the course of the Sou hern peop e has been a desperate struggle up grade against odds that wculd have daunted a less valiant race. Politically we are where we were three decad s ago. No reforms could be initiated, no ad vanced positions be taken, because every year and hour the slightest disaffection would throw 100,000 colored voters into ascendancy. Take a simple instance : The editor of the Biblical Recorder, now gathered to his fathers, was denounced aud abused throughout North Carolina because he would not advocate a Prohi bition party. Those who knew him knew why he was silent. He knew that to ad vocate a Prohibition party would divide the white people, and the colored voters would rise to power. He preferred liquor selling with honorable white men in office to liquor-selling with incompetent colored men and representatives of them' in power. His position was sound. This is only one instance. Hundreds might be named. For every reform cre ates division, every new idea creates dis affection. And in consequence the larger element of the white people in the South are politically the slowest in the world to move. And it will be so so long as there is the almost inevitable consequence that to initiate a chauge will turn the country over to an incompetent and unworthy regime. Without another word it is clear that the negro is an obstacle; clear that inevi tably the Southern country must be re tarded in her political progress so long as he is an obstacle. It is cle r that he is here to fetay. What then? Disfranchise ment. It is the only hope. There is but one ground that will reach the mark, and that is illiteracy. It is a good one; it will stand the test of common sense and plain reason and right. Is it impossible? It cannot be. Is it impracticable ? It can not be. One year or two years may not achieve the end, but it is worth a decade of struggle. Other issues pale into in significance beside this; they should not be suffered to interfere. If the unintelli gent vote of North Carolina could be eliminated the State could then address herself with a single eye to the needs of the people. It was expected that the secular Demo cratic press of the State would, as they have done, advise the disfranchisement of the negro voters; but when the jour nal of a great and powerful religious de nomination gives such advice, then, in deed, is the rights and privileges of the negro as a voter in danger. We say it with all the solemnity at our command, that if the Democrats control the next Legislature, woe be unto the manhood and womanhood of the negro race. It was more tolerable for Sodom and Go morrah than it will be for them and their civil and political rights. Do you hear that? Mr. G. W. Morris, a Democrat of Dem ocrats, so the story goes, had a white leg horn rooster, which he named "Josephus Daniels," after the editor of the News and Observer, which is making its fight for a white man's party, but lo! and be hold, on one bright summer morning Mr. Morris awoke to find that his pre ciously pure white leghorn had during the night changed some of his white feathers for black ones. What to do in that emergency Mr. Morris did not know, but finally, in order to shield the real Jose phus, decided that he would change the name of the rooster to Marion Butler, in honor of the distinguised Populist Sena tor from our State by that name. But right there, Mr. Morris, is where you blundered. Nature knows the real Jose phus better than you do, and the chang ing of the feathers by his name-eake shows that he fully appreciated the name that you had given him and that he was simply following in the footsteps of his illustrious prototype who has been known to change hia political views even during the palmiest days of Democracy as often as was necessary to get either the public printing of the State, a fat jb under Cleveland, or a prospective job under Bryan. The chamelion has not changed oftener in the last ten years than Jo sephus has and his cry now for white supremacy is not in keeping with his acts when as chief clerk of the Interior De partment he elevated negro men to clerk ships side by side with white ladies, and they, of Southern birth. In the name of truth and justice, Mr. Morris, we ask that you undo the wrong that you have done Jcsephus, the rooster as he is sim ply going through the transformations necessary to be in fact, as well as in name, a real Josephus Daniels. Traveling Agent Pair spent a short though pleasant visit to the following towns last week in the interest of the Garette, viz.: Youngsville, Kittrell, Ridgeway, Littleton, Weldon.Garysburg, Gumberry, Seaboard and Shotwell. Eastern Snap-Shots. Neuse River Association was in session last week at Zion Hill Baptist Church, near Littleton, N. C. Its next session will be in Weldon.with Rev. Simon Hicks as President. He was the euccessful pas tor of Rocky Mount and Tarooro years Education, briefly, is the leading of human souls to what is best and making what is best out of them, and these two objects are attainable together. Rumor can sometimes be truthful. In the neighborhood of Mary's Chat el Bap tist Church, near Scotland Neck, Halifax county, she says a good colored "doctor" is desired with an excellent field. The "Benevolent Aid Society" alone could support a physician. We throw the hint out, and pill-makers would do well to correspond with Rev. Matthewson, of Tarboro. Special term of Halifax court adjourn ed last Friday. Much dissatisfaction was expressed at the sending of c- s1; prison ers direct to the farm in No'thamton. Mr. Thomas K. Uuutngham retu nea 10 Wilmington last Friday from Norfolk. Richard F. and C. M. Et p ?s are at their old bomertiead shaking hands with old friends at Halifax. Miss Leolia Wa son has returned to Shaw University from Norfolk. M ss Ca'harine M Lewis is determined to win a niche in the temple of Christian womanhood. She in expected to enter the "Missi nary Tiaining School." God speed Mis lVwia t make a place in life, should lie the desire of every noble man and woman. Mi?s Emma L. Lewis is expected to take a three yea 's ourse in the Scientific Department of Kittrell or Sco'ia. Thus they are forging for the top. Do you see and hear? There is hope for honest cour age. Mies Anna Bridgers returns to St. Au gustine from Winton, N. C Mr. John R. Barlow h-aves for Kittrell College about the 15th of October. A young man of ambition must and will succeed. He will take a profession later. Halifax countv is a negro county, but it is in evidence that had not John H. Hannon entered the fight last fall the county would have been Democratic. Tnis is what we were told by old stagers thro last week. Mr. Sylvester Collins, youngest son of Hon. John H. Collins, of Halifax, leaves for Livingstone College about the 1st of November. He is a young man tf prom- lte. Me is one 01 tne ongniesi young lights of the A. M. E. Church of his town. He means that the world must know that he lives for good. Mrs. W. R. NeviPe keeps an excellent restaurant ii the "Villa"' of Halifax. Mrs. A. L- Wood nee Eugenia Drake lojks her pleasant self . Her it du bious and progressive husband, A. Lee Wood, is with "DavidjSmith," the colored mer chin' prince of Weldon. Messrs. Cheek, of Halifax, with his es timable wife, and J. M. Pittman, of Til lery's, are pleasing the business men who are patrons of those officers. C. P. An thony will not fail to succeed from pres ent indications. We have ever appreciated and sympa thized with our friends in the hours of direst trouble. Yet we can now only breathe a prayer for the speedy recovery of Clarence Cherry, son of our beloved Christian friend Mrs. Mary A. Cherry. There is an excellent field at Halifax, N. C., for some man or woman who has the pluck to establish a good school and will venture. They do eay that Rev. J. H. Arrington talked plain at the Neuse River Association about educational af fairs. We venture if members of the churches of different pastors could see around the firesides of some they would rind the most humiliating ignorance among tbeir children. The last issue of the Virginia Baptist is superb in the general tone of its edito rial articles as well as the forcefulnets of the editor in presenting his subject to the public. We had occasion to refer to one Rhem some time last year, about his allowing ignorant guards to treat the prisoners in humanely, and lo! the new man is more of a beast than anything that has ever been there. Improve in your treatment. Eastern Shap-shots has been reliably informed that there is no fight on Prof. Israel D. Hargett as postmaster at Rocky Mount diiect. We regret any resort to legislative records to turn down an hon orable young man. Hargett is strong with the people, and the washing of any one else's dirty linen in the executive session of the Senate in December should not affect him. He stands forth the peer of any man that has been or will be ap pointed as t j character. We are surprised to find that some "moguls" in the Second District, who have sought the censorship over the GA ZETTE correspondent, have not found out fiat they are of no force politically, as well as being a negative force socially. Be quiet; we shall write the news as we le rn it, aud mention a foe in a compli mentary way, if he deserves it. We have been educated to live beyond the clouds of envy and bate. Ours is a higher and nobler sphere, even though we have hard battles to fight to maintain it. Low prices for cotton is making the negro look independently on things po litically, whether they aci it or not. Free dom of thought and action is the hope of the race. The whole world doesn't move together in one life. There has to be some man to take a step forward and the people fol low, and when they get where that man was, some other Titan has taken another step and you can see him on the great mountain of progress. That is why the world moves. Tnere must be pioneers, and if nobody is right but him, who is with the maj rity, then we must turn and walk towards the settii g pun. How do you like 822 50 for first grade and $17 for second grade teachers? Whither are we drifting? This is Hali fax management. Every man with cour age will fight the despicable course per sued until right and honesty shall prevail. Will the puolic school teachers support this downward trend. Cape Fear Oleaninge. The public schools of Wilmington nnpi.firi last Miindav. tha 4th irmt a large attendance. Miss M. W. Howe ana 31 ss ousie Dudley, with their able corps of teachers, are at their post of duty. Mioses M. Ellen Noyes, Carrie Green, AddeliGrten and Susie Sampson have all returned to the city after spending the vacation in Philadelphia, Pa., and other northern cities. The five day's feast in the wilderness, given by the First Baptist Church, which closed last Friday night, wasagrand suc cess. The prize, a handsome gold watch and chain, was awarded to Miss Lula A. Williams, she having received the high est number of votes as the most popular young lady of the city. Dr. J. Allen Kirk, pastor of Central Baptist Church, has returned from Bos ton, Mass., where he attended the Bap tist Convention. He reports a pleasant trip. Rev. W. R. S!ade has just moved into the parsonage, on Eighth street. The Literary meeting at Shiloh Baptist Church continues to grow in interest. Miss Katfe W. Telfair is home again, after spending the summer in New York and New Jersey visiting frieds. She is looking well. We are pained to announce the death of Miss Georgia Willis, which occurred at her home on Second street Sunday morning. She was a pious, Christian young lady and her death is a severe shock to the entire community. She was a graduate of Gregory's Institute, class of 1897. A bright flower has been plucked. Mr. S. S. Furr, of Chicago, 111., is in our city to spend the winter. . Miss Mamie Garfield Stanley and Miss Ellen Jenkins left Wednesday for Con cord, N. C, to enter Scotia Seminary. We were glad to see Representative John,T. Howe on the streets again, after having a severe attack of fever. Messrs. A. W. Sc )tt and John R. Mat-h will leave on the 16th to enter Leonard Medical School to resume their study in law and medicine. Mrs. Green, the mother of Mrs. Brooks and Mrs. Hattie Debnam, of Boston, Mass., quietly passed away Thursday ia&t. Both daughters were at her bedside. Peace to his ashes. Sunday being a beautiful day all the churches of the city were well attended. Mr. Alfred B. Lind left last Monday for Howard University, where he will take up his profession. Miss Fannie Telfair left last Wednes day for Kittrell Institute. Mrs. M. A. Stanley, Chief of the True Reformers, lectured at Price's Chapel Wednesday night and organized a new club. The drama, "Joseph sold in the Wil derness," was played to a large and ap preciative audience for the benefit of St. Stephens's Church last Thursday night. Memorial services were held in honor of the late Bishop Emery at St. Stephen's Church Sunday night. Quite an inter esting programme was rendered. Gleaner. Goldsboro Dots. That tried veteran of Republican prin ciples. J. Frank Dobson, was inducted into office here as postmaster on Friday of last wek, with Mr. B. S Stevens, W. G. Hollowell, Esq., and Mr. Frank Bea- man as assistant postmaster and clerks, respectively. Rev. H. S. McDuffie, the estimable rector of the Episcopal Church at Ashe ville, spent a short while in the city on last -Monday, returning from a visit to Beaufort. Our people are beginning to talk about the fair of the Industrial Association. Horace, the great Roman author, said upon one occasion : " Hicniger esf ; hunc tu, Romanae, caveto that man is of a black character ; do you, Roman, beware of him." Is this not fittingly applicable to him who is ever on the alert, dilligent- ly striving to defame, malign his brother, his neighbor or any member of the race to which he is identified ? Say to such a one as did the immortal Shakspeare : " spurn thee like a cur.'.' Sumner, Grant, Blaine, and all other great leaders, in all ages, have been willfully misrepresented it is thus now, and possibly it will so continue to be. Postmaster A. A. Smith at Mt. Olive is succeeding admirably in the perform ance of the trust committed by ' Uncle Sum." Mr. Smith was in town a few day 8 since he's about the same size as of yore. The fight to be postmaster at Kinston, like that to be attorney for the Eistern North Carolina D.strict, is " still on," and grows warmer as the chilly days of autumn are going by. All can't have pie, boys. That dainty, palatable pie, Is yet without my grasp ; For it I daily hope and sigh, And seldom break my fatt. Mr. I. G. Warden and Prof. A. L. Sumner were in the city last week. The walls of the new brick edifice of the A. M. E. Zion Church are rising higher and higher, and ere long our Zion here will be comfortably quartered in her delightful building. The pastor, Rev. Bell, is matting large preparations tions for the District Conference and Sunday School Convention, eoon to as semble in his church. The friends of President J. B. Dudley, of the A. and M. College, were glad to see him in the city Friday, of last week. He addressed the students at the Normal School. - The Woman's Home and Foreign Mis sion Convention of North Carolina con venes in the city on the 7th of October. President Meserve of Shaw Univers'ty, Profs. Vas-. Pegues, Whitted, and other representative men of the church are ex pected to be in attendance. " Blessed are ye, when men shall re vile, and persecute you and say alLman ner of evil against you falsely." The higher a man ascends the ladder of un selfishness, in Church or State, or in any sphere of manly worth, the louder are the anathemas of those who stand below, who never could have attained the heights reached by those whom they would ruthlessly snatch down from the positions gained by assiduous study and indefatigable toil. Mr. M. E. Dortch, after being confined to her room for some time, is again able to be up and out, to the delight of her many friends. Mr. J. C. Hargett, of Kinston, was in the city one day last week. The State Normal School is growing in popular favor with the teachers and general public of the city and section. The many friends in this city of the late J. K. Davis sympathize deeply with the bereaved family in their irreparable loss. Mr. Sam Carr, keeper of a small grocery store a few miles from the city, was most foully murdered on last Saturday night. Sam Wright is charged with the crime. He was apprehended and incarcerated on Sunday. Death of Rev. L. C. Ragland. Death came in our midst on S3ptember 5th and took captive our esteemed Bro., Rev. L. C. Ragnand, who, like Dr. H. M. Tupper, spent his life in the interest of the negro race. He died at his home in Person county, and by his request his re mains were brought to Olive Grove Bap tist church, the church in which he had been a consistent member for many years. He said that he was willing and ready to go, and was just waiting on the Lord. Rev. Davis, a white Methodist minister, called to see him just before he died. His voice was so weak he could hardly be heard. He asked him to hold his ear close to him, and whispered these words to him: "Do you see those angels all around my bed?" and passed calmly away. II is funeral was preached at Olive Grove Church, on the arrival of his remains, by Rev. J. R. Cozart. We must say we never heard a more able sermon. His text was taken from 2d Chapter of Tim othy and 3d verse. Subject "Valuable Soldiers." He sent for Elder Cozart be fore he died and asked him to preach his funeral. Elder Ragland though dead, yet his works liveth. He left his race shortly after the Emancipation and came among the colored people as a teacher and a preacher. He is the father of the Cedar Grove Association. The Association be fore its division, numbered nearly fifty churches. He was offered large sums of money to leave the negro race and return to his own race. His answer was, "God says preach my Gospel to every nation, and if my preaching for the colored race will cause you to forsake me, you will have it to do. I am poor, is true, but I am going to do what the Lord has com manded me, if I die in a ditch. God will bless me." Rev. Ragland belonged to one of the richest families in this county. He took his diploma from the medical college in Virginia as a doctor, a profession in which his father wanted him to follow after he had completed his classical course: but feeling that he had a more Divine calling he quit the practice and took up theol ogy, and became one of the theologians of his day. His pprfectnpss in orthog raphy and pronunciation of words caused him to be oftentimes spoken of as a walk ing dictionary. He will be much missed by all wno knew him. As a teacher he was efficient and earnest; as a preacher he was per suasive; as a debater he was convincing; and as a Christian he was zealous and faithful. We must say the race here never had a better friend. We sadly mourn the death of our great giant, who did so much in dispelling the gloom of ignorance in our midst. Though we feel that our loss is Heaven's gain. On earth we knew thee in thy day, But we will know each other better When the mist has rolled away. A student of the deceased, S. J. H. Mayes. At the meeting last Monday night of the Board of Trustees for the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind Institution, Prof. John E. Ray, the Principal of said insti tution, in making his report said that the work at both the whits and colored de partments was being done in an efficient manner and was as satisfactory as it had ever been in any year to his knowledge, and also spoke of the largely inert ased attendance over last year, or any previ ous year. As is well known Mr.'Riy, who was elected by the Democratic Board of Trustees last year for a term of three years, is a Democrat and his word will be taken by the people about matters in the institution in preference t that of the partisan, villifying and unjust sheet called the News and Observer. In this connection our attention is called to a circular just issued by Prof. Alderman, President of the University, stating that the number of students there now i 469 and is by him called the high water mark in the history of that grand old institution. Thus one by one the lie is given to the prophecies of the Demo cratic newspapers as to what would be the result with these institutions if fusion succeeded. The Durham Christian Church. The prospect for the work at Durham, N. C, is somewhat encouraging. On the third Sunday in September we had a grand rally to raise money to pay on the debt of the prop- rty. Our receipts were $65. Our protracted meeting then fol lowed, and the Lord blessed us with 20 converts. The church is much revived and we expect to make a full report at our next annual Conference, which will convene at Franklinton, Franklin county, N. C, on Wednesday after the second Sunday in November, 1897. Tne editor of the Gazette is cordially invited to ba present during Conference and deliver an address. Geo. W. Dunn, President N. C.
