Wilmington Messenger. I'
Some time ago the ; Messenger re
ferred to the possibility of North Car
olina's becoming the dumping ground
for the vagrant, wandering negroes,
aDd even others, in case of defeat of
the proposed suffrage amendment to
the constitution of the State. It is a
very "serious, .question and deservedly
attracts attention.. The gallant ex
confederate and bold, vigorous, effec
tive canvasser, Captain Buck Kitchin;
of Halifax, directed public attention
to ih'Tmatter when he recently spoke
twice in Wilmington, in which he'did
positive good and aroused the Demo
crats to greater enthusiasm, and reso
lution to win. It -as very certainly a
question, of great pith and momenC
and worthy of every white man's atten
tion, as to what will result to the State
if the combination of white radicals,
trading populists and ignorant negroes
shall succeed what will be indeed the
effect ot a failure to carry ttie amend
ment and settle now the great, domi
nating question of negro supremacy in
North, Carolina? What will be the ef
fect of a failure of the adoption of the
amendment upon the population of
North Carolina in the future? In
South Carolina the negro is quiescent,
serene, undemonstrative, - contented.
He has not done much voting since
1867. Kis schooling for twenty-four
years has-been such that he does not
attach much importance to the fran
chise, and rarely worries himself over
politics. The new Louisiana law has
practically eliminated the negro voters,
only a few thousand voting in the last
election. Mississippi has got control of
tne negro vote to such an extent -there
is no danger threatening the State from
negro domination. Chher States Vir
gini, Georgia, Arkansas' and others-
will soon or late follow in the work of
eliminating the negro as an important
or controlling factor in State affairs.
Let North Carolina be kept under
negro 1 rule;! and several things will be
sure to happen. Education will be
blasted in so far as the negroes are
"concerned, : Investments will be para
lyzed. ' Disturbances between the races
will grow. But worst of all, and this
is the point, most uudesirable addi
tions bv tne ten - thousand will be
made to the population by the influx
of negroes from all the other States, ;
North Carolina will indeed become a
veritable "rogues -harbor," as it-was
called by insulting" Virginians some
two hundred years ago'. It will be the
the refuge for " all sorts of drones and
tramps, and rascals ana criminals
and many worthy ' negroes will come
in too so they can enjoy the privileges
and powers of the untrammelled fran
chise, and in a -decade,' the negro pop
ulation will greatly exceed that of the
whites. Now : they' do not amount to
as much -as half, of, the whites and we
think the census just taken will show.
r ' We clipped from ah exchange the
other ; day a short , article that empha
sizes with vigor thie view of the danger
of a great increase of negroes if the
amendment is defeated. I We believe
it was the Clarkton Express that said
this! The .contention of the well put
article is that the "white man; living
tn eastern North Carolina that goes to
the polls next August and votes against
the amendment votes either deliberate
ly of ignorantly to make bis descend
ants the consorts of negroes. If I can
not ' prove this to the satisfaction of
any reasonable man, then l am wmmg
to be counted a fool the-balance of my
life." '
; That is strone laneuaee. The writer
shows ho other States have acted in
regard to the negro voters. . He then
says that : North Carolina : will be the
Mecca of all the negro politicians who
tr. rna the white: man and win
the hand of his daughter. O, you say
there is no danger of that. - Let us see.
Mot three months ago a black negro
did ihis thing come about? "These
people.inofiensive and unlettered, have
been allowing-John Newell and others
like him to enter their house and talk
politics and social matters until the
way was opened for a scandal like this.
North. Carolina has . on her statute
books a law prohibiting the intermar
riage of the white and negro race." '
He mentions that the fanatical fool
Tom Fortune, the negro editor of the
New. York Age, lately introduced ; a
resolution in a negro conference in the
North demanding the repeal .of, all
laws prohibiting intermarriage betweeu
the whites and negroes. Here is the ani
mus of the rascals of the Fortune and
Munly type. They long to bring about
amalgamation - among the two races.
They do not wish or aim to elevate the
white race, but toJraw it down to the
level of their ownLet thVwhitemen
re mem ber too that scandalous, defama
tory, villainous article by the scoundrel
Manly. : That he. got away alive is a
tribute to the forbearance and mercy
of the indignant "whites. But the day
of such forbearance . is - passed now.
Swift and angry punishment would fol
low now such an article. Do not open
the doors wide for a great importation
of negroes from - the other . Southern
states. Rather than that, favor any
amount of deportation. But adopt the
amend ment and you will cure this and
other threatened evils.
Soon Virginia will vote as to the ne
gro question. If the negro vote is elim
inated or greatly reduced, then with
the defeat of the amendment North
Carolina will be between two' states
V-irgina on the north and South Caro
lina on the south; both of which an
tagonize and control the negro vote,
and thus thousands from , either state
will Mock into our own state that opens
wide the door to negro interlopeis who
are eager to resume voting in the old
way, under the control of mean whites,
and anxious to help govern the white
burden-bearers. Can any one but a
stark fool or an unmitigated rascal de
sire such an ending, such a result?
We recently cut from an exchange a
well considered editorial in the Murphy
Democrat ' upon the 1 effects , of the
amendment. ' If defeated, it sajs, the
result must be this: ' v '
'The result will undoubtedly be that
the state will be the inecca. the Eldo
rado of every ambitious, insolent negro
in the United States, for the negro loves
to vote. Denied that privilege in every
other southern state he will turn his
steps toward this state, and speedily
over-running eastern Carolina," will
settle even in the mountains in large
numbers. Encouraged and led on by
office-h' Iders and office seekers he will
be impudent and assertive and it will
inaugurate a reign of riot, terror and
bloodshed that has never been equalled.
Whoever may be at" fault for this, the
negro will be the greatest sufferer.
This, the western part of North Caro
lina, which has not been troubled with
the negro to any extent (except per
haps -in" Asheville) will have her dose
of the distasteful mess, unless " we, by
our votes, ratify the ; amendment in

An ' angel was sent down ' from
heaven one day to bring back the most
beautiful thing on : earth. He hunted
lone and carefully saw a bed of full
blown American Beauty roees, lovely,
beyond compare, and he gathered an
armful and started to return - to his
home above. T
As he soared into the air he saw a
baby's smile, and, filled j rapturous
admiration at the sight, relumed to
take it, too. By its side he disco ved a
mother's love, and with all three in his
arms, he mounted to the place beyond
the skies- -
Just outside of the pearly gates the
spirit paused for a moment, and, lo!
the roses were withered and dead, the
baby's smile had vanished7but, strong
and faithful and serenely beautiful as
ever, the mother's love remained? and
he cast the other aside and took this
and laid it .at the feet of his Master as

Rev. S. Q. Newsom, colored,
editor of Neuse River Herald, in a
issue had this to say to the ne
groes, which should be widely cir
culated; ; "There is ranch excitement ever
the coming: election. In maoy
counties the colored people are
leaving, and say they want to give
the white. people a rest. We dif
fer with bar friends who go away
looking for higher wages and
friends. Better Btav -here the
white people do not interfere with
colored people; who behave them
selves and there is not " a ' colored,
person who wants to bay land aud
make money who does not have
that privilege. The whites will
help him. Look at W. D. Smith,
J. A. Alston, W. W. Kay, J Hol
land and Blake Day, who now own
about $300,000 In property in Wel
don. White people did not pre
sent tbem; they are comparatively
young men,' and we can ; make our
mark right here in the Soatb. If.we
go north we must have good health
and be able to work, else we are
not wanted. And we wish to say
that if we succeed, we most belong
to. the baisness world, and look
lees after the political world, for
both parties misunderstand and
have mislead the negro to some ex
tent by encouraging him in poli
tics. When Republicans tell us they
freed as they forget that Hancock
was a Democrat and did more, in
connection with Phillips and Sum
ner, to help free the "negro than
all the Republicans in North Caro
lina. They should' tell ; us the
truth . . -: ,
Our Democratic friends mislead
the negro by saying they xio not
blame ns tor yoting the Republi
can ticket because that party gave
us freedom, and .that they do
blame a white man for. voting Re
publican,' "
. 0, consistency thou art a jewel.
.xThey well know that the negro
had just as well vote for a Demo
crat, for both parties are willing to
give os " freedom. Republicans
want us to help tbem into office
and the Democrats do not want
the negro because he is offensive
in politics. Senator Pritcbard says
it is a white man's fight; Mr.
Simmons says it is a fight for
white supremacy. The only way
for the negro to get out of it is to
vote on both sides, as he belongs
to different churches. He is in all
the denominations and if he can
afford to splite up in his Christian
ity he can afford to divide up . in
politics, and do our own thinking.
Those teaching truthfully will tell
you so. God gave us our own free
will, and if we come to the polls
in this election we should .come
divided not sticking to parties;
white men do bo, so let as view
both sides of the question, and not
come like a block of sheep but aa
men in a free country.
' It was not the negro vote that
took the State ont of the hands of
the Democrats; it was the farmers

you can mark my prediction that
the- negro is gradually going to
the Democrats.

In State politics, he sells it to tbe

people of North Carolina for tbe
past six years. We are devoutly
thankful that the days of the

TVben the constitutional amend

end of a possibility of a recurrence
of these days will have come. But

Let them neyer forget.
But while the work of killing
this contemptible scoundrelism has
been 'accomplished, everything
that should be done has not yet
been finished. The people of North
Carolina ought so to express their
contempt for the arch Janns face,
so ostracise him, 7 so spurn him,

desirable that we strike at the
other root of illiteracy in our Com
monwealth. The present age of
illiteracy in North Carolina has
not been wholly chargeable to the
inadequaccy of the common
schools; for they have been many
years, perhaps always, sufficient
to teach any one to read and write.
That is to say, any one who de
sires to learn to read and write
can do so in schools run for two or
three months daring their school
age. This being so, it stands to
reason that many have declined to
embrace their opportunities; and
it is well established that one who
will ecorn or neglect a slight op
portunity will despise a larger one.
For this reason we have felt the
need of a compulsory school law,
thoagh we know the people are
cot yet regarded as ready for it.
Knowing tnat this is ont of the
question, we are glad for the pro
spect of another incentive an
open chance to learn to read- and
write, open several years, and
then a penalty if that chance is
neglected. We believe this ' will
bring the children out of darken
ed homes by the thousands. They
will learn to read rather than .for
feit their right to vote. Tbey will
fill our free schools, and such an
attendance will be reported as has
cot been dreamed of.' This will
Eerve many purposes. It will be
light where light is most needed;
it will speak hope to those now
hopeless; it will emphasize the
value of tbe free schools and plead
eloquently for tbir Improvement,

For n Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicines?
From Sylvan Valley News, Brevar J, NC.
It may be a question whether the editor of
a newspaper baa the right to publicly re
commend any ot the various proprietary
medicines which flood the market, yet as a
preventive of suffering we feel it a doty to say
a good word for Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Piarrhoea Remedy. We have known
and need this medicine in oar family for
twenty yeara and have alwavs found it re
liable. Ia many eaeea a oee ot this rem
edy would save hours ef suffering while a
physician is awaited. We do not believe In
depending implicitly on any medicine for a
cure, but we do believe that if a bottle of
Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were kpt
on band and administered at the inception
ot an attack mnch suffering : might be
avoided and ia verv many cases the pres
ence of a physician wonld-aot be reqnired.
At least this has been our experience during
the paet twenty years. For sale by W.Q.
