The Most Infamous That Ever
Appeared in Print in
This State.

to
to various vooges, dm
They are Too Thin.
The infamous assault on the white
W(jmeli of this State which appeared
on the ISthi of August in the Daily
,, ,. tlio negro paper published in
t ; s city, has aroused a storm of in
dignation" from one end of the State
to the of her. We have received so
many requests for copies of the Star
containing this article that we here
wlth reproduce it in full, the accu
racy of which is certified to by Col.
JobV -li. Taylor, Clerk of the Supe
rior Court of New Hanover county,
;ln, by a number, of our well-known
business men. The article is headed:
Mrs. Felton's Speech.
"A Mrs. Felton, from Georgia, makes
a speech before the Agricultural So
ciety at Tybee, Ga., in which she advo
cates lynching as an extreme measure.
Tliis woman makes a strong plea for
w.unanhood, and if the alleged crimes
or rape werehalf so frequent as is oft
times reported, her plea would be wor
thy of consideration.
"Mrs. Felton, like many other so
called Christians, loses sight of the
basic pryiciple ofjthe religion of Christ
in her plea for one class of people as
ajrainst
another. it a missionary
spirit is essential for the uplifting of
the poor white girls, wny is il The
The morals of the poor white people
ire on a par with tneir colored neigh-
nrs of like conditions, and if any one
doubts the statement let mm visit
ijiioutf them. -The whole lump needs
to be leaveneu. oy muse wno proiess so
much religion and showing them that
the preservation of virtue is an essen
tial for the life ot any people.
Mrs. Felton begins well for she ad
mits that education will better protect
the girls oh the farm from the as
saulter. This we admit and it should
not be confined to the white any more
than to the colored girls. The papers
are filled often with reports of rapes
of white women, and the subsequent
lynching of the alleged rapists. The
editors pour forth volleys of aspersions
against ull negroes because of the few'
who may be guilty. If the papers and
speakers of the other race would con
demn the commission of crime because
it is crime and not try to make it ap
pear that the negroes were the only
criminals, they would find their
"strongest allies in the .intelligent ne
groes themselves, and together the
whites and blacks would root the evil
out of both races.
"We suggest that the whites
guard their women more closely,
as Mrs. Felton says," thus giv
ing no opportunity for the
human fiend, be he white or black.
You leave your goods out of doors and then
complain because they are taken away.
Poor white men are careless in the
.matter of protecting their women,
especially on farms. They are care
less of their conduct toward them
and our experience among poor white
people in the country teaches as that the
women of that race are not any more par
ticular in the matter of clandestine meet
ings with colored men, than are the
white men with colored women. Meet
iogs of this kind go on for some time
until the woman's infatuation or the man's
boldness, bring attention to them and the
man is lynched for rape. Every negro
lynched is called a big, burly, black
brute,' when in fact many of those who
have thus been dealt witb had white men
for their fathers, and were not only not
black and 'burly' but were sufficiently
attractive for white girls of culture and
refinement to fall in love with them as
is well known to all."
"Mrs. Felton must begin at the
fountain head if she wishes to purify
the stream
"Teach your men purity. Let virtue
be something more than an excuse for
. them to intimidate and torture a help
.' less people. Tell your men that it is
Ho worse for a black man to be inti
mate with a white woman, than for a
white man. to be intimate with a
colored woman. .
You set yourselves down as a lot of
carping hypocrites; in fact you cry
aloud for the virtue of vour women
while you seek to destroy the morality
of ours. Don't think ever that your
women will remain Dure while you
are debauching ours. You sow the
seed -the harvest will come in due
time,"
THE AFFIDAVIT OF THE CLERK
An effort has been made by some
of the politicians to fool the people
by renresentine that this slander
was it Democratic trick or was gar

A CRITICAL TIME
During the Battle of

SICK
OR WELL. A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAT,
The Packers at the Battle of Santi
ago de Cuba were all Heroes. Their
Heroic Efforts In Getting Ammuni
tion and Rationa to the Front Saved
the Day.
P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 3,
writing from Santiago, De ,Cuba, on
July 23d, says: " We all had diarrhoea
in more or less violent form, and when
we landed we had no time to see a
doctor, for it was a case of rush and
rush night and day-to keep the troops,
supplied with ammunition and rations,
but thanks to Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, we
were able to keep at work and keep
our health ; in Jact, I sincerely believe
that at one critical time this medicine
was the indirect saviour of our army,
for if the packers had been unable to
work there would have been no way
of getting supplies to the front. There
were no roads that a wagon train
could use. My comrade and myself
had the good fortune to lay in a sup
ply of this medicine for our pack-train
before we left Tampa, and I know in
four cases it absolutely saved life.

Parade of Gen. Fits Lee's Command at
Jacksonville, Fla. An Ovation to
Col. W. J. Bryan.
By Telegraph to the M or nine Star.
Jacksonville, Fla., August 31.
The parade of the Seventh Army Corps
to-day was the most magnificent mili
tary pageant ever seen in Jacksonville, ,
Nearly thirty thousand men were in
line and every regiment presented
a fine appearance. Fortunately good
weather favored the soldiers and not
a drop of rain fell during the day.
The procession started past the review
ing stand occupied by General Lee
and staff at 3.10 and it was 5.30 before
the last regiment marched by. The
streets along the line of march were
lined with thousands of people who
cheered and applauded the soldiers,
each regiment seemingly getting its full
share of applause. The First Wisconsin
regiment, which is to be sent home to
be mustered out, was excused from
the parade and was the onlv one that
-did not annear. Colonel William
Jennings Bryan, in command of the
Third Nebraska regiment, received a
continuous ovation all alone the
line of march. The march was a very
tedious one for some of the regiments
that are encamped outside of the city
limits and the ambulance carried a
good many men back to camp. So far
as reported, however, there were no
serious effects as the results of the
parade.
ihe soldiers made a splendid ap
pearance in their khaki trousers and
blue shirts. All carried their ponchos
as well, but for the first time inC a
great parade in the citv had no use
for them.
YELLOW FEVER.
Four Deaths at Vera Cruz, Mexico The

Laredo, Texas, August 31. With
in the last week four deaths from
yellow fever have occurred at Vera
Cruz, Mexico. The authorities there
are making every effort to prevent its
spread. The physicians at Tampico
state that the yellow fever there has
attacked only those
persons who do
not take proper care
of themselves.
There is no danger of the fever break
ing out here, or hardly at any other
point on the Mexican border, due
largely to the climatic conditions and
the elevation of the important towns.

Mr. A. C. Thomas, of Marysville,
Tex., has found a more valuable dis
covery than has yet been made in the
Klondike. For years he suffered un
told acronv from consumption, accom
panied by hemorrhages, and was ab
solutely cured bv Dr. King's New
Discovery for Consumption, Coughs
and Colds. He declares that gold is
of little value in comparison with this
marvelous cure: would have it even
if it cost a hundred dollars a bottle.

COTTON MARKETS.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
New York, August 81. The situa
tion in the local cotton market is with
out important change or new feature,
To-day s market was very dull during
the greater part of the session, with
fluctuations restricted to a matter
two points. A decline in futures at
Liverpool instead of an expected ad
vance and predictions for heavy re
ceints caused a decline at the onenine-
of
one to three points. The market.
however, showed a fair amount of
steadiness, a small bunch of continen
tal buying orders being in evidence
and crop accounts as well as weather
reports being anything but satisfact
ory. Business in the afternoon came
to a complete standstill. The market
osed dull at a net loss of one to three
points.
