IN AMERICA, f ' .-.i... , h" lot v "l The - Beginning of Slavery and the Contiitions in the Soutn ncnum tscence of By-Gone Campaign. To the. Editor of, The Observer." ; Before the ' Revolutionary" war , the negro waa brought Into this country, and the system of slavery was planted In the colonies, from the New England State down through the South. Eng land waa toy no means opposed to hold- Ing Africans: tn slavery ar that time; tn fact all of, her colonies were, slaves holding in tha early days of this coun try 'a existence. Nor waa there any Dlaea In the civilised world where Slav ery waa dented a foothold, or aald to .'.4m Inimical to the teaching of the Bible. In . South - America; the: West Indie, and all the slave-holding coun tries, that were civilised, managea to get rid-sof their slave, or rather to free their slaves, and let them live amongst them. : It is proper , to state that all the countries that have freed their slaves, and given equal rights before the law, were Spanish, a- mixed blood. ; Forty years ago the claves of this country were freed by force of arms, and two year after jthey were freed, 60,000 of the best white men were disfranchised and every' negro made to, vote as directed by some scaliwag. Some of the Latin countries.-which looked to the best interests of all con cerned, freed their slaves according to age, so that freedom would b graau illy given them. . ; I in the South it was a sudden Jump from slavery to freedom, and the t oun datione of aovernment were broken up. when the object appeared to be in re ality to make us drink of the bitter ness of defeat, and our toes rejoiced in the idea, that might made right. In time of slavery an occasional hol iday, was given the negroes, at Christ mas which lasted generally one week which was devoted, to music .and dancing; they also had a Christmas dram" to sf tart the festivities, which was considered tha best' of Christmas gifts. The Foutrh ot July waa also given as a holiday; the crops were also ready to be laid by, and another years' harvest was gathered, ana ev ery one felt thankful that their Physi cal necessities were provides for. . It was the boast" of nearly every negro that hia "white forlks Were the best and most tony people In the country." But there were some people who had no mercy on their negroes, children or stocx. such people were lacking in what Is necessary to civilized man kind, and should have been placed beyond the law, only fit to Inhabit, a madhouse. These were the exception, and not the rule. Every gala day the white people held the slaves were per-. muted to look on. All the traveling circuses that passed were well pat ronized by the negroes. In the, olden times every Presidential election call ed for big public speaking, and barbe cues to draw out the crowd; long trenches were dug where the Arte were kept to reast the meats, beer, pigs and muttons,' until all were well cooked. This work was all done by ne groes, under the direction of ah ex pert. To carry water and wait on the table it required quite a number. Of course the bread was prepared at the houses of the principle people in the neighborhood. Tbis was a day looked forward to with a great deal of anx iety. The common people sixty years ago did not elt still and let a few lawyers and court house officials dic tate who should fill the various offices In the county, but took an active part in whatever the country or country needed- In .the fall of 1840, when Gen. Wm. Henry Harrison was the Whig candidate for President, and the whole country -was enthused as It never has been eince witn political excitement. Gen. Harrison was immensely popular ks an Indian fighter, and being raised up with the common people, he was re garded as a hero by the masses. I was fortunate enough to att'nd one of the big meetings twelve miles from Charlotte that waa gotten up tn honor of Gen. -Harrison (the grandfather of the late President.. Harrison.) JUuring this campaign enthusiasm Was In evi dence whichever way you might tarn. A platform was erected for the speak ers, judge James w. usDorne ana uen. Edney, they were great men, scarcely Inferior to the men nominated for the highest office in the United States. Seats were provided for the audience out of slabs from saw-logs; prominent Democrats were invited to hold up the Martin Van Buren ticket, but .they failed to put in an appearance against the giants selected to bear the Whtg banner. The platform was covered with green boughs to break-off the hot sunshine. On the four posts .were tacked coon ' skins, and two or three live coons .were chained to the posts, representing the surroundings of Gen. Harrison, and on a wagon beside the platform was a cabin, which repre sented the kind of a house the general lived in; with coonskins tacked on the cable ends, and a barrel of hard cider, to represent the usual drink of the backwoodsman. The speakers who were present I can remember, but two were Gen. Edney and Hon. James W. Osborne. General Edney waa em phatically a man of the people; and flames W. Owborne was but lately oome to the bar, but all men marvelled that so young a man should stand head and shoulders above his" fel lows. The speakers seemed to hold the crowd a long time. A recess was taken to partake of and enjoy the barbecue, which was not only good, out abun dant for all. The negroes were busy all morning keeping up nres, carrying water, setting tables, etc After the white people were served, the negroes helped themselves boutiruiiy 01 tne abundant repast. But these happy days have gone with the civilisation of sixty years ago, and nave been replaced by more refinement and less happtnesi for the common people. It will be difficult for'the younger peo ple to understand the civilisation we glorified in sixty years ago; then I urge the necessity of reading the, his tory ot the recent past. . . 8. B.

High Point Wants Anotlier Railroad and W1U Put Frth Efforts to Se- cure It. Special to The (Observer. High Point, April 17. The matter of a competing line of railroad, something that has long been a ne cessity here as fully realized - by manufacturers, is being seriously dis cussed at the present time and It is quite likely that the best efforts of the manufacturers and business men will be put forward to see If some thing can be done In this line. It is acknowledged that Uih Point missed a good chance when the Southbound gave us the go-by. Not withstanding the fact that It Is felt that something better could be se cured by he proper effort, stll! that road would have been a great deal better to High Point us a competing line than no competition at all. By this It is not meant that the road would not have been advantageous to High Point interests, still everything wa not favorable to it an It could have been. Perhaps another road could have given this manufacturing city better service, hence the matter of a competing line is being talked no little. High Point wants an out let so she can ship her products to the markets of the world without being compelled to ship them over the Southern Railway, the only line entering the city. It Is felt that the manufacturers here are charged a higher rate than Is consistent and that this state of affairs will continue Just so long as they have no way of neiping inemseives.

You feel fyke living after your first vtoe-giass of It The most vonderful Tonic of the day. And so simple made of hops and malt, that's all Try it FOR 6A.LB BY ALL DRUGQITS. TONIC DEPT., Louisville, fij. Let the Cook Go Get your silk dress on and do your own cooking with electric appliances. The heat is all Internal and cook ing is Just fun. Somebody wants a cup of tea. Put the water in the vessel, turn a little switch, then read on for a few min utes. It's surprising how quick the water bolls when the heat Is electric and when one Is reading while wait ing. Think of it! The waters cf the Catawba, 20 miles away, make electric current, a little wire brings the current to Charlotte, and the current makes tea while the lady reads her book or magazine. And then there are electric chafing dishes and other electric appliances to get all of a meal. Certainly let the cook go. Cook ing is so easy with electric appliances, and withal so very pleasant and vn tertainlng that the husband wants to do the cooking. The electric flat-Iron is as con venlent and useful as the electrlo coffee percolator or the electric chaf ing dish. To a very largo extent, electric ap pliances may be made to solve the cook and servant question. Wa carry a full line of these ap pliances, and of electric supplies generally. THE D. A. TOMPKINS CO.
