Our language as to the Hickory Mercury's position in reference r I10 i lirori t mi il rT-.ifora nninn' of the Ranks negroes in Newton ana the silencing ol tne nejrro Manley's paper in Wilmington, seems to have cut to the quick. It brought forth an endorsement of the course the men of Newton took to protect the honor ol the poor white girls of this vicinity, So far, all right. But it attempts to get awaj from ils record in the Wilming ton case by saying the charge that it attacked the course of the white people of Wilmington in silencing Manley's paper, is a mean falsehood, These are the words that bullies resort to. But they do not settle the point in question, Ourcriticism ol the Mercury's position in regard to the destructionol Manley's paper and the whole race trouble iu Wilmington in 1898, was not made entirely on our own rccol lection of what th? paper said, but also on the recollection of Mr. A. A. Shufoid, Mr T. M. Hut ham and other prominent Hick ory men, who mentioned themat tertothe writer only a short time before the Mercury shied its castor into the Newton affair, But this is not a pure matter of memory on any man's part. It is a matter of record. The present "managing editor" can easily ieferto the files of the Mercury ol the fall of 1898 and reproduce what it then said, Quote in full what was said about the distruction of Manley's paper and the riots in Wilming ton, which occurred the day after the election, if our memory serve us right. That will settle the question. The publication of the slander of the white women and bear in mind Manley men tioned particularly the poorer class of white women was the beginning of the race trouble in Wilmington and the riot was the culmination of it. The leading men of the city of Wilmington took up and avenged that insult of the negro to the wo men of the rural dis tricts, just as the leading men ol Newton espoused the caute of a poor factory girl, who likewise is a poor farmer's daughter. What the present "managing editor" said or claims to have said in Wilmington about Man ley's publication, has nothing to do with the question. We referr ed to what the Hickory Mercury had to say, and we are under the impression that the present "niteLaCing editor" was in Hick ory at the time ol the Wilming ton riots and was doing some pretty sty-scraping writ ing for its columns. But this is also a matter of record. Please refer to the Mercury's file, and let the people know if the present "managing editor" was not at that time connected with the paper, anil give some of the language usee? about the Wilmington aiTair. VThat will be a much more convincing method, than shouting" falsehood." UNlY-CKbiTY liiESI- DEISCY. o Dr E. A. AIcV.TiaR's rw- igrja'ion of the preside ncy of the State University, there has been a good deal ol discussion as to the selection of his successor. The uoints on wmeu all are agreed are that he should be teacher, a North Carolinian and a man in the prime ol life, Dr C. D.Mciver, ol the Green boro Normal, has been most o( ten mentioned in this connection but he pielei cs to remain at his present post, and asks that his name be not considered by the trustees in the selection ol a president. The most talented North Carolinians who have be come uislinti'uiisneu abroad as educators are Dr, Paul Uurrin ger oi the University ol Virginia Dr. W. W, Moore ol the Union Theological Seminary of Rich mond, Virginia and Prof. Wood- row Wiisun oi Pri nee ton Univer sity, The State would be very fortunate in securing the services ol either one ol these distinguis- ed scholars. Dr, Moore would make an idea president, lie is a man of great executive ability, ol tine presence, the best speaker we ever heard and a model man in every re spect. Dr Kingsbury, the schol arly editor of the Wilmington Mesetnger, says he is the ablest scholar born in North Carolina duriug the last rilty years. His presence at the head of the Uni versity s ould be a great inspira tion to the student body oi that institution. But the difficulty about secur lnjjr tne services ol any one oi tnese tniee men is, that ail are receiving better salaries than is attached to the presidency ol our university. Then another trouble is, the senseless and dis creditable light that i& made be. lore eyerv -Legislature against the appropriation upon which the University has to depend for its support, Instead ol thiri 25,000 a year having to be tought lor and grudgingly ob tained every two years, it should be doubled and be appropriated regularly without requiring thepresident to spend wyeks in Raleijrh every two years as a obyist. We have no doubt that this dis tasteful part of the president's work, had as much to do with Dr. Alderman's leaying the State as the '$0000 salary he will re ceive at Tulane University. Dr, Alderman's resignation is a dis tinct loss to the State, and it will be hard to get a man ol his class to accept the position at a 2500 salary, i! thu opposition to the necessary biennial appro priations is to be kept up, With this difficulty removed, State pride and the yearning that every true North Carolinian has o go back home, might induce Dr Moore, Dr Barringer or Dr. Wilson to accept a call to the Chapel Ili'i presidency, Chairman Helton has replied to Chairman Simmons' challenge or a joint campaign between the Democratic and Republican candidates lor State offices, de clininjr the Dronosirinn. milpsu chairman Simmons would nixe a )ledge that the June session ol the Legislature would withdraw the amendment and repeal the election law. In other w ords, if the Democrats will give up the fight for white fiimremnnv in North Carolina, the Republicans willagiee to a joint . canvass. Holton knows the Democratic party will not recede from its ledge to give white rule to North Carolina, and he knows that his candidates cannot face a crowd and contend against the arguments of Democratic speak ers for white supremacy. A party which stands for negro office holding and negro equality, will eep its candidates as far cut of the reach of their Democratic competitors as possible. The Republicans of this district held a conyention iu Salisbury last Friday and nominated J. Q. Holton, brother of Chairman Holton, for Congress from this district. This is a new depar ture, as the fusion candidal es for Congress in this district have heretofore fallen to the Popu lists. Col. H. C. Cowles of Statesville and Mr D. M.

There is a little red button that is playing a prominent part in the North Carolina campaign this year. On its lace in white letters are these words: -'White Supremacy lor North Carolina." It is natural that everybody who li.-i: - a I l l aiueneveBiniDewiiiie peopie rui- in.r Vrfh flnrnlinfl clinnlH eiairo r- to wear one of these buttons And it was not to be supposed that anv white people would object to any other white persons displaying this emblem as they pleased But in the cotton mills ol Maiden one day last week, we are inform ed, every employee wearing the button was told to take it off. Most of them declined to do so, and we are told, the bosess went through the mills and took the ''White Supremacy" buttons off of the men, boys and girls, and warned them not to enter the mills again wearing "White Su premacy" badges. Our inform ants do not say whether or not the offending Individuals were taken into the "tower" to make the surrender of their liberty. Perhaps they were thus dignified, but possibly ; they were not even giyen this much considera tion. Wonder, it it once occurred to these "bosses" that it was their duty to get the eonsent of the white supremacy stockholders in the mills before proceeding to debuttonize and disfranchise the boys and girls behind the spin ning frames. -o- Spencer Blackburn had so . i i many counties instructed ior him for Congress in the 8th dis trict, that Linney threw up the sponge and allowed Blackburn's nomination to be made by ac clamation.
