RALEIGH, N. C, OCTOBER 30, 1897.
Demecratlc Misrepresentation.
Ab the Democratic papers are attempt
ing to misrepresent C. H. Mebane, Sup'tof
Public Instruction in regard to the privi
lege of people being allowed to vote, we
publish in full below the letter that he
wrote and had published on February 10,
1897. The letter explains his position
fully. In it he pays:
" Every boy in North Carolina, who is
eighteen years old to-day, can learn to
read and write by the time he is twenty
one years of age.
"It is a burning shame upon the white
people of North Carolina that now, yes,
even now, amid all the progress that we
have made, we have illiteracy on the in
orease in any spot in North Carolina. I
have reliable information that this is a
fact.
"I have been informed that within a cer
tain community within our borders there
are two or three white children who can
not read to where we find one colored
child who cannot read. Why, I ask, is
this so? What is the remedy? Poor as our
schools are, yet if parents, would eend
their children, no one needs to grow up
into manhood and not be able to read and
write.
"I suggest that the General Assembly
pass an act that shall prohibit all bays
who are now under eighteen years of age
from voting when they become twenty
one years of age, unlef s they can read
their ballots. Let not anyone hastily gay
that this would be injustice to the poor
white people and the poor colored peo
ple. "It is a shame, but nevertheless true,
that the colored people make more sacri
fice to send their children to school than
the white people do. We have seen col
ored people go to school, even if they had
only a little bread, and vt ere only half
clad. On the other)hand, we have seen
white children roaming over the fields,
growing up in ignorance, while the Stat a
was spending money for their benefit in
districts numbe ing sixty-five to se 'enty
pupils, with twelve or eighteen receiving
the beaefit of the school.
'Would it not move the parents to serd
their boys to school, if the right of voting
depended upon thair sons being able to
read their ballots?
"Would not the boys themselves, even
if not allowed by their parents to attend
school, learn to read in much less time
than three years ?
"This act should not in any way affect
the voters of to-day, but should look out
for the future sovereigns of our State.
"We do not wish to remove any privi
lege of the future citizens of our Scate.
We simply want to prepare these citizens
to use their privileges. We want to see,
not only white illiteracy decrease, but
want to see illiteracy in all of its forms
decrease. C. II. Mebane,
Supt. Pub. Inst.

ner, setting forth the reasons for the es
tablishment of thia publishing house man
aged by colored men. lie stated that the
American Baptist Publication Soc.ety in
Philadelphia, had refused to let colored
men write for their literature, because, if
they did, the white people would not
patronized the society. This Rev. Vass
denied, saying "the society had asked
colored men to write, and they had done
so."
Resolutions endorsing and recommend
ing the continued use of the period. cals
and papets of the American Baptist Pub
lication Society, were pasaed, and a collec
tion, amounting to $10, was given to aid
the society.
Dr. Boyd said his reception and stay

The Old Eastern Missionary Baptist As
sociation at, Washington, N. C.
The thirty first annual sesa.on of this
body convened at Washington, N. C,
Wednesday night, Wept. and td journ-
ed Sunday night, Oct. '6. The weather
was good, with the exc pticn of the du.it,
but notwithstanding that we had a pleas
ant session o! the Association.
Many expressed themselves as having
enjoyed it better than they had any other
for years, l he good people ot Washing
ton threw wide open their doors and en
tertained the A sociation in a most hos
pitable manner.
Wednesday nignt liev. m. Strickland
preached a very practical and pointed
sermon to a good audience.
Ihuisday morning Moderator, Iiev. T.
S. Evans, callti the Association to order,
and after devotional exercise, Rev. B. J.
Lenox, pastor ol Spring Garden Chnrch,
stepped forwaid,and in his quiet but pes
ltive manner, said he was glad to have
the pleasure of extending to the ministers
and delegates of this Association a cordial
welcome to their church, their town and
to their homes, and it would be the great
est pleasure of the members and citizens
to make everything pleasant for the dele
gates while in their midst.
Rev. J. T. Clark responded in well
chosen words.
The moderator then delivered his ad
dress to the Association, asking that the
ministers and delegates during the delib
erations of the session, let the spirit of
God so govern and control them that
peace and harmony might prevail
throughout the entire session.
The Association has one grand feature
which all the ministers are pledged to
keep up each minister pays annually
one dollar to go into the fund for the Aid
of Superanuated Ministers of this Asso
ciation. Thursday night Rev. W. S. Moore
preach? d the Introductory Sermon to a
a large audience. The sermon was full
of good thought, and was listened to
with very great interest.
Rev. C. C. Somerville, district mission
ary, was present, and was introduced by
the moderator. All who know Bro. Som
erville will agree with me in saying he
is onejof thejbrightest lights among our
Baptist ministers. He made some soul-
stirring remarks, urging our people to
grasp every opportunity to educate them
selves, both religiously and intellectually
and to save their money and buy prop
erty. He said, the day never wid come
when ignorance and poverty would rule
intelligence and wealth. He spoke of the
work of co-operation, and what help the
ministers are receiving who are not able
to attend any theological school. His
remarks were well received. The Asso
ciation gave to the co-operation work a
good donation.
Rev. Robert Shepard, superintendent
of the Oxford Orphan Asylum, spoke in
connection with the work of this grand
institution, and a collection, amounting
to over $7, was raised.
Friday morning the Committee on Li
terature reported, recommending the con
tinued use of the books and pupers, pub
lished by the American Baptise Publica
tion So-iety, the eame being pure and
sound, and as cheap as any other.
Rev. C. C. Somerville and others spoke
very spiritedly in commendation of this
report. The report was adopted.
Rev. W. H. Culley, one of the oldest
ministers in this Association, preached a
temperance sermon Friday night.
The Association this year had fifty-
eight churches represented, all the letters
showed an additional increase, both in
membership and finance.
The Association endorsed the Industral
and Training School at Scotland Neck
and pledged to aid in its support.
All of the present officers were re
elected for the ensuing year. The Asso
ciation adjourned to meet next year with
the Rio Grande Baptist Church near New
Berne.
The bear Creek Association.
This Christian body met in its annual
session with the Baptist Church at Kin
ston Wednesday, October 6th, Rev. E.
M. Croom, Moderator; Rev. A. A. Smith,
Secretary. This Association is not so
large, but most of the churches belong
ing to it were represented. The attend
ance of ordained and licentiate ministers
was very good. There was a good num
ber of visitors a each session, and Sun
day a large number came from Newbern
and Goldsboro. The Ass ciation was
a thorough success. Rev. E. M. Croom,
the moderator, is a grand old brother
and has dooe much for the Baptist cause
in this section. Several sermons excel
lent sermons were preached during the
Association by some of the ablest minis
ters of the Association.
It was the privilege of the Gazette
man, also, to make some remarks, and
other laymen also spoke. They all seem
to be vigorously taking hold of the church
work. So, we see, the Baptists in the east
are alive.
Resolutions were adopted endorsing the
work of co-operation, also Rev. S. N.
Vass, District Secretary of the Southern
States for the American Baptist Publica
tion Society and its literature.
Wednesday night Rev. C. C. Somer
ville preached an excellent missionary
sermon, subject, "Triumph of Missions."
Rev. Robert Shepard and Prof. S. N.
Vass both made impressive addresses be
fore the Association. This body contri
buted very liberally to the co-operation
work, the American Baptist Publication
Society and the Asylum.
Several new churches were received
into the Association and one young man
examined and passed upon for ordina
tion. All the present officers were re-elected
for the ensuing year. The session ad
journed Shnday night. The kind people
of Kinston of all denominations gladly
received and entertained the ministers
and delegates in high style during their
stay.
' The colored citizens of this little eastern
town are making rapid progress in secur
ing property and in business.
Rev. T. S. Evans, Moderator of the old
Eastern Association, was present and
brought greetings from that body. The
number of churches represented we do
not know, but about all that belong in
this Association.
Much credit is due Rev. E. M. Croom
for the quiet Chrietian-like manner in
which he presided over that body.
The Dedicatory Saryices at the A. M. E.
Zion Chnrch.
Notwithstanding the rain Sunday night
a good audience filled the A. M. E.
Zion church to witness the dedicatory
services. The programme consisted of
selections of the most choice music,
adapted to a pacred concert. The follow
ing young ladies and gentlemen, com
posing some of the best musical talent in
the city, kindly consented to lend their

Democrats Still Kick.
It is a pretty state of affairs in Halifax
county. They now have a negro court
crier, a negro county commissioner, four'
of the most prominent postoflices filled
by negro postmasters, and that county
furnishes a negro Congressman. If this
thing goes much further we may expect
to see a negro Judge and negro county
officers. It is time white people weie
beginning to take a serious look at the
political situation. Greenville Reflector
A Sensible (Southern Editor.
The Memphis Scimitar says: "The peo
ple of Hogansville, Ga., may be individ
ually very wise, but collectively they are
darned fools. There is no particular rea
son why Mr. McKinley should have ap
pointed a negro postmaster at that place,
but after he had been appointed there
was no reason why the people should
have tried to kill him. In Memphis
negroes have served as register, assistant
attorney general, school visitors, magis
trates, councilmen, policemen and deputy
sheriffs, and the white people here haven't
been contaminated. There is a great
deal of nonsense in this world."
