Too Much Negro Role ia Wilmiagloi for People Who Have Money to laveit The effect of negro rule in a com munity may be seen from the follow ing, which is part of a letter written to a gentleman in Wilmington by Mr. G. Fred Aualand, of Cambridge, Md., one of a party of real estate men and capi talists who came to Wilmington on a prospecting tour: "While in Wilmington we were very comfortably located. We upent part of Saturday, Augutl3th. at Ocean View, where the spectacle of a burly negro fighting a white policeman, and defying everybody, wsa wit nessed by myself and Mr. Or tensten. Sundav. Aurunt nth w spent a very pleasant day at the Hanover Club, Carolina Beach, and I must say that we thought your white population charming and your city ana surroundiog country all that could be desired; but the power of the negro was more than we could stand. With a feeling of regret, nav of sorrow, I saw a fine country, witli the greatest possibilities, ruined of its prospects, through the baneful in fluences of a race that few white men and no women can trust. You have negro pouce in your city, and w would absolutely refuse negro pro lection ior our families, we saw thousands of acres of land lyinir waste, out 1 would not advise any of my clients to settle on them with the negro as a power in your State. "We found the same deplorable condition in Weldon (colored pout- master, etc..) Wilson, and all over the State." RED HOT IN RICHMOND. There White Men Are United and Deter mined They Are Now Wearing Red Shirts. lialeigh Post, '!,. Mr. Maxcy L. John, of Richmond county, who was in the city ychler day, brought meat encouraging news from his home. He says that the Democrats will re deem the county, and that the Repub licans are aware of the fact. "The Jeople are terribly enthused,' Mr. ohnson remarked, "more so than I ever knew. We are making big gains everywhere and will certainly carry the county. The white people are all trettinir together. In the lower section of the of the county nearly every white man you meet wears a red shirt. Thoy have borrowed this idea from the South Carolinians and they arc hs fitment as you ever saw men. "When I.left Launnburg thcr- were 400 or 500 white men in town wmring red shirts. The white government unions are dointr good in our section Nearly every member wears his red shirt." TRYINQ TO BUY CR0ATANS. Leaders of the Negro Party Hope to Buy Them at $1.00 per Head. Liimbertoti Hulwonian. Dr. Norment, 8. A. Edmund and Sheriff Hall spoke to the CroaUnn al Union Chapel last Friday night The sinews of war were in evidence, we are told, and Hector Icklear left the meeting with $150 to $175 in his pocket. For the money Hector, our informant says, is to deliver 150 to 175 Croatan votes for the fusion ticket or one vote for everv dollar paid him. We do not believe that the Croatan voters of the county are so easily corrupted, and if their votes are purchaseable, which we doubt, they are worth more than a dollar each.
