MESSEHGER - i'iTEELLIG'iCER. WADESBORO, X. C., SEP. 22, 18&8. JAS. G. BOYLIN, Publiaher. OUT OF Til EI H OWM IHOl'TIIS ARK THEY I'OXDEMNKD. We have no words to express our utter wimempi tor mis little lonesome squab of -aiicu niciiara ropunsia. i ney are tne most contemptible disgusting traitors that were ever known in North Carolina history. Having secured nominations and having been elected as Populists, as reo- rescnutivesofa great Reform party, their constituents had a right to .expect that they would not betray them, but instead oi wonting to bring about the reforms promulgated by the People's party, they sell out to Mark Hanna and the Republi can party, ignoring" the rights of every liouesi ropuiist who voted tor them, and they now expect to fatten on their re ward tor their treachery, while their con stituents, the toilers in the fields, must continue to groan under the weight of oppression heaped upon their shoulders by such henchmen of the money power as Jeter O. Pritchard. Can these trai tors be allowed to go back home and live among their constituency after consum mating such an infamous deal? Not if the manhood in the rank and file of the People's party is what it ought to be. They will make it so hot for them that they can't stand it and will have to get a move on themselves. Our Home, Jan. 27,1897. . . The writer of the above, Mr. J. Z.Green, is now One of the fusion candidatesbr the State Senate in this district The violence of Green's opposition to those "disgusting, contemptible traitors" who "deliberately sell out to Mark Hanna," would seem to indicate that a gentleman of his immaculate morals would scorn to have anything to do with such base fellows. But this was written over a year ago, and Green is now hand in glove With these same "t.aitors." In deed, so intimate are his present relations with them that he has as his running mate for the State Senate a man, who, we are informed on Populist authority, was - in favor of the election of Jeter C. Pritchard as United States Senator, one J. W. Dixon by name. It is true that Dixon was only a private citizen when Pritchard was elected by the votes of those .' "disgusting, contemptible Popu list traitors," but it is also true that if he, as a Populist, upheld the action ol those "traitors" that he is just as guilty as they are.. .-qv ' Here . is another extract from Mr. Green's paper, which shows how he stood on the question of Populist fusion with Republicans less than two years ago: .-y;:: ' And now this same Green, who only a short time ago was so bitterly opposed to fusion with Republicans, is a fusion can didate for an important office. Ye gods, how men will debase them selves for pie. Who, who can stand since Pie-triot Green has fallen into the horrible pit of political corruption? THE COLOR L1XE-VFIIO IS . KESPOXS1BLET The negroes are alone responsible for the drawing of the color line. As Capt. Kitchin said in his speech last week, they all jrot off on one side as soon as Lee sur rendered and have been there ever since. Lee Person, col., is the fusionist candi date for the Senate in Edgecombe county. He is said to be one of the smartest ne groes in the State. In a letter from Tar boro tfthe Charlotte Observer Mr. H. E. C Bryant gives the following report of a speech made by Person the other day: "Goto the elections well armed, with rocks in your, pockets, "clubs in your, hands and carrying your pistols. And don't allow any officer to arrest you af ter you nave registered until the day af ter the election, unless you have stolen something or killed somebody.

Miss Winnie Davis, daughter of Mrs Jef ferson Davis, died at noon to-day at the Rockingham Hotel, to which place she came as a guest in the ear ly part of the Pier's social .season. She had been ill for several weeks, and a fortnight ago her ailment wa3 diagnosed as malarial gastritis. At times her condition became very se rious, so that consultations of phys icians were deemed , necessary, but frequent rallies gave renewed hope that she would ultimately recover.

A I, .HOST RIOT. pottage. Wm. M. Martin, Esq., who was recent ly nominated as a candidate for the Legislature by the Republicans of Mecklenburg county-has declined the honor. In a card to the Charlotte Ob server Mr. Martin gives his reason tor de clining the nomination as follows: "I think the time has fully come for good government ana wnite supremacy in North Carolina." Thi3 is short, but it contains the gist of the whole argument No better reason can be given why every decent, respectable white man in North Carolina shouldvote the Democratic tick et in the coming election. Mr. Martin, the Observer says, is a life-long Republican. He is therefore entitled to tbe more hon or for repudiating the horde of hun gry, unprincipled white men who are will ing to turn half of the State over to the control of negroes, if by sodoingthey can get an office as the price of their treachery The Re-pop-lican speahers and papers have recently entered the plea of confes sion and avoidance, as the lawyers say, in the matter of the charge that Jim Young inspected the white Deaf, Dumb and Blind Asylum at Raleigh. That is to say, they admit that the negro Young made the inspection, but claim that Mr, B. F. Montague, the Democratic chair man of the board of directors was re sponsible for the outrage. We publish Mr. Montague's card elsewhere in this paper, in which it is pointed out that he had no other alternative than to appoint Young on the inspection committee, and that the blame for the same rests on uoveruor lvusseu, wuo placed the negro on the board of directors. CiREEN OS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. ' In the issue of his paper of Jan. 26th, 1897, Candidate Green gave his opinion .of the Republican Jparty as follows: "Pledged to an honorable and fair co operation the Republican leaders, the best men in that party, ignored the Peo ple's party, and under pretense of co operation attempted to corrupt and de bauch the People's party members with the use of patronage and money, and thus succeeded in electing Pritchard by the most infamous and fraudulent methods. This being done and endorsed by . the men in the highest ranks of the Republi can party, it stamps that party as the most corrupt that exists or ever has ex isted in Noith Carolina. The same hand that warmed this poisonous reptile will now crush it to death. It will be wiped from the face of the earth in this State the next time the people are allowed . to go to the polls." The same Green who wrote the above is now one ot the tusion candidates tor the State Senate in this district, and to be elected it is absolutely necessary for him to get the votes of the party that he des ignates above as a "poisonous reptile, and which he says "will be wiped from the face of the earth in this State the next time the people are allowed to go to the polls." We believe you will prove a true prophet, this time, Candidate Green, and since you are now a member of this same "poisonous reptile" combination it will be a great consolation to people in all parties who are in favor of decent politics that you will be "wiped up" along with it. . . ... The Dockerys are not the only people who are eating dirt in this campaign. If we are not very much mistaken the But ler Populist are eating more of it, possible, than are the members of this renowned family of midnight negro or ganizers and office holders. It will be remembered that the Butlerites during the session of the last Legislature, held a meeting and kicked the Skinnerites out the party, as they said. But how is it now? The Butlerites are just simply not in it The Skinnerites had the distribu tion of the pie and the consequence mat tne majority fops are now the mi nority Pops, and vice versa. Dr. Artful Amos Maynard in his report of the Populist county convention held here on the 15th inst., says: "The follow gentlemen having been named by the Republicans were endorsed," &c. Now if this artful gentleman means to say by this that the Republican convention named "the following gentlemen," then we say it is false. The Republican con vention did no such thing, and Dr. May nard knows that it did not. This is small matter anyway, and it does seem that it would not be worth anybody' while to indulge in misrepresentations concerning it. Is it possible that Pie-triot Green has consented to have as his running mate tor the State Senate one of that dedesta ble class .oft our people called lawyers? Surely this good, hypocritical man did not know that the fellow Dixon was a law yer, or he would never have submitted to such an arrangement. Some more croc odile tears are now in order,' Pie-triot Greenpyer the way the poor people are being oppressed by the lawyercrats and then let us all puke. It Is now in order tor some wretch, like Ramsey, Hal Ayer or J. Hill King, to rise up and say that the Democrats hired the brute, Toe Jackson, to assault that poor girl in Mecklenburg county last Sunday. ONLY TWO PARTIES SAYS A PROMINENT POPUL.IST. A. A. Forbes, who was elected State Senator four years ago by the Popuists of Pitt county, has renounced that party returned to the white man's party. Mr. Forbes attended the Democratic primary at Greenville a few days ago and made a speech which is reported in the Charlotte Observer as follows: , "I went off four years ago with the Populists I did not intend to go to the Republican party and did noi know they were going to it, but they did go, head and boots, and there is nothiug left but the bojts, and I shall not go with theai "The negroes have drawn the color line, and whv in the name of God don't the white men draw it?

SOMETHING- ABGTJT HER LIFE. Atlanta, Sept. 18. Winnie Davis, the "Daughter of the Confederacy, was born in the Confederate Exec utive Mansion in Richmond, in 1863. She was educated principal ly at home, owing to the trouble sur rounding her father and. the public ity which attended all movements of the Davis family. Miss Davis attained her maturity at Beauvoir, Miss. She assisted her mother in various ways and took her place in the many social functions of the place. She was her father's con stant companion. She assisted him in all his work and much of the material which was required by Mr. Davis in his writing was secured for him by his daughter. Her strong charac ter was marked from youth. She was engaged to a Mr. Wilkerson, of Syracuse, N. Y., but shortly after her father's death the engagement was broken off. While no public explanation of the rupture was giv- en out, it is well known that it was for the purpose of maintaining ; her father s name. ; She received the name, "Daughter of the Confederacy," in 1886, when her father made his famous trip through the South. Mr. Davis being unable to appear, Miss Davis was brought before the thousands at the different points along the route and introduced as the "Daughter of the Confederacy." Minnie' Brown, a 1-Year Old Conn try irl, Outraged While Going TlironeU the Fields to Her Uucle'. Special Dispatch from Croft to Charlotte Observer, 19th. - Minnie Brown, a young country girl 16 years old, was outraged near here Sun day afternoon about 4 o'clock, and the people ot this community are much stir red .np over the matter. The girl is the daughter of Elmer Brown , and the family is poor but respectable. The girl is said to be half-witted, which only makes the crime the more horrible- She and her little brother, six years old, were on the way to their uncle's house , near their own home, when the negro fiend seized her. The little boy ran away screaming, and the girl also made a pite ous outcry, which was heard by neigh bors dwelling at a long distance. The negro frightened the girl by brandishing a pistol and a large jpen knife. He also choked her and covered her face with some filthy garment a coat, perhaps which he was carrying with him. Mr. Rufus Johnston and Mr. Allison were walking not far fromjthe scene, when they were met by the girl's brother, who told them that a negro was going to kill his sister. - The negro saw them apprach ing, aud started to run. They ran after him for 50 yards, gaining on him. He ran into a .briar thicket, and they lost sight oi nun. iney men separaiea, going m opposite directions to drive him out or capture him. W hile they were doing this, the negro sprang out of his hiding place and doubled on the course, . going back down the road over which he had been pursued. Messrs. Johnston and Alli son again pursued him. A strange negro has for some time been going to and fro across Mr. Allison's place. The latter had noticed a peculiar twist or jerk in his gait as he walk ed. As he and Mr. Johnston were pursuing the criminal back down the road it sud denly flashed upon Mr. Allison that he could notice that same peculiar jerk in the negro's body, which had attracted his attention in the man who had late ly been passing through his premises. The negro finally ran into a thick cane brake. Here he again eluded his pursuers and could not be sighted. t The neighborhood was soon aroused, and the quiet and peace of a fair Sabbath afternoon turned into a scene of active pursuit. All that afternoon and all night armed men scoured the woods and watched the roads. Up to rr id day to day, however, the negro had not been captured, although three colored men have been arrested and carried before the poor victim for identification. One of these is said to be a brother of the mur derer of Policeman Moran, of Char- otte. The crime has agitated the community greatly, and no ston will be left unturn ed to bring the guilty scoundrel to jus tice. The negro Joe Jackson, who committed. the assault was captured Monday night and was carried to Charlotte early Tues day morning and placed in jail. No at tempt was made to lynch him. The M. &I.J Soldier and Negroes right It Occurred in East Raleigh, Sou- day Afternoon. Raleigh Correspondence Charlotte Obser ver, 19th. -There was quite a lot of excitement in the eastern part of the city yesterday af ternoon and last evening, growing out of a small-sized riot and fears of a big one. There were all manner of rumors, and of course these gained in volume as they flew, until it came to be stated that several soldiers and several negroes were killed or wounded. The facts as to the affair appear to be as fol lows: . East Raleigh is the tough snburb. It is just beyond the city limits. It is known to the county authorities that wniskey is sold there by "blind tigers.' The mayor is powerless there. Some Yery bad negroes live in that quarter and some extremely low white men frequent it, especially on Sundays. .Yesterday afternoon two of these white men, both rowdies, and for one of whom two warrants have been in hand some time.engaged in a row with negroes near a "blind tiger." Stones were thrown and one of them nearly cracked the skull of one of the white men." One stone struck a soldier of the Second Regiment, who was taking no part in the" row. He left, and finding some of his comrades, told them he had been set upon by the negroes. They went back to the scene with him and there was a little riot, in which both sides fired shots. One of the white men, citizens, who coutribut ed to the bringing on ot the row, was shot in the calf of the leg; a bullet pass ed through a soldier's hat and one soldier was wounded slightly in the tip of the finger. Two negroes are reported to be shot, but as the negTo, like the Indian, carries off and hides his dead and woun ded, the statement is rather hard to veri- fv. The news flew. A telephone message to Camp Shipp-Bagley brought in twelve minutes 100 men as a special guard. Colonol Burewvn and Mayor Russ wont to the scene of disturbance. With them were deputy sheriffs, police, a magistrate and a constable. At each street cor ner a soldier was posted. The mayor and the deputy sheriffs gave notice to the negroes that order must be preserved All soldier?' passes were revoked and all save the guard were sent back to camp. Maj.John VV. Cotten was present in command of the guard, and all were under the civil authorities. - . w The feeling betweeu t he bad negro eletrent and the soldiers is quite high This was increased by the fact that four men of Captain Wagner's Asheville company were on Saturday night attack ed bv neeroes in East Raleigh. The soldiers for the most part hate the ne groes. Some of the latter are always ready for a fight. The War Department Will in crease the Force Xow in the Philippines to 20.O0O Men.

The remains of Miss Winnie Davis will arrive here on Friday morning at 9 o'clock, and witl be escorted to St. Paul's church, where her father worshiped and was confirmed They will be placed ia the lecture room and remain there under a guard of honor until 3:39 p. m., when the funeral will take place, the interment being in Holly wood, in the Davis section. The- following resolution was intro duced in the Populist convention of Ran dolph couuty last week: . "Resolved, That we will support no one for office, legislative, executive or ju dicial, who is not in favor of the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1.' Of course you will say that, inasmuch as the Pops are the only " sinctre friends of silver, this resolution went through with a whoop. We grieve to say that it did nothing of the sort On the contrary it was defeated by a vote of 26 to 6. This is only another evidence that a few lead ers have bartered the principles of the party for office. The question is, how many of the rank and file can they de liver to the negroes in payment for the same? A Monument Tor Winnie Davis. Richmond, Sept. 20. At a meetiDg of Richmond Chapter, Daughters of the Contederacy, held.to-day, the following was adopted: "The Richmond Chapter, Daughters of the Confederacy, have at a meeting at Lee Camp Hall, September 20, 1 80s, resolved to inaugurate a move ment to erect a monument over the grave of Winnie Davis, the Daughter of v the Confederacy, feeling sure that this work will meet with the sympathy of all loyers of the South, Daughters of the Confed eracy, yetrans associations, bona ot Vetran3 and many others over the whole country." . An exchange says: " The man who at tempts to secure an office by tearing down the social barriers which are the defense of his wife and his children is unworthy the vote or resgect of any decent white man or sell-respecting negro." This is a great truth, and one that should be pon dered over by every white man in Anson county, and in North Carolina, who has the best interest of his own family at heart. ',. .-: . Two Battle Ships Tor Dewey. Washington Dispatch, 19th. , The Navy Department is lushing prep arations for the start of the big battle ships Oregon and Iowa to Honolulu, and t orders have been sent to the New York navy yard to have the mechanics work overtime on these ships. The purpose is to have tnem star; on their long voyage by the end of the present month, and, ac cording to the department calculations they should arrive at their destination by the end.of January. There is little effort now made to conceal the fact that the de partment will have the ships met at Hon olulu by a dispatch boat with orders to turn their prows westward to Manila. Will White Men Stand This! Raleigh Post. .We ask the white people of the State, of Western North Carolina especially, to think of the following, and say wheth er they will vote for a party who per mits such an outrage. What we relate is a matter of record and can be easily verified. The whole State is a aware oi the fact that Craven county has a so-called white man, a carpet:baggerr elected by Hahn. Every deputy sheriff serving under him in the county is a burly negro. Every processor execution served-from the sheriff's office is done by this sheriff or one of his negro deputies. S ome time ago it became necessary under the laws ol the btate, to send a young white man, named R. L. Hanf, to the hospital in this city tor tne insane. He is a young man of poor but very re spectable family. Providence had af flicted him to that degree ' that the pro tection-and care provided by the good people of the State were necessary in .his behalf. He was ordered to the Raleigh asylum, and was duly brought by a negro deputy, from Newbern to Raleigh, and delivered to Dr. Kirby. The name of the negro deputy is W. D. Pettifer, as appears from the records of the as y lum- This is a simple statement of the facts that requires no enibeli3hment. Now we ask every white this simple question. Suppose your father, son or brother, mother, wife or sister for had it been a woman instead of a man the carpet-bag sheriff of Craven would no doubt have followed the same course were to be come so afflicted that treatment at lie sy lum were necessary. Would vou liKe tor mm or her to be taken to the institu tion by a negro? Answer this question for yourselves honestly .before your Maker. If not, then in the name of that Maker and those you hold dear, vote to relieve those of your own race, and fles i aud blood in eastern Carolina who are thus subjected to such outrages, and whose only relief must come from you.
