A Southern Woman, in Charlotte Ob
server.
Men and women of North Carolina, to
the rescue!
They tell me it is waste of time to ap
peal to a Republican for help. The idea
in eastern Carolina is that there ia not
one on the face of the earth that would
not drag men and women and children
to perdition and hurl them in for ten
cents per head. That ia why the very
name is a stench in their nostrils, but I
have reason to know that there are men
in western Carolina, and enough of them
to save us from a degradation worse than
death, who would not vote for fusion
lsts if they knew what it means to ns.
It would be useless to speak of the dis
graceful act3 perpetrated in our State
capitol two years ago; the very prince of
darkness might well shirk the reading of
such a record. I will only speak of the
effects of some of their actions on us.
How would you like for that fair young
daughter of yours to have to get permis
sion from three negroes to teach the white
free white school? We have to submit
to it and they have to go to a negro to get
their wages. Every school in Vance
county is under negro rule, directly or in
directly. The superintendent appoints
three negroes, and two white men, for
the committee, or if there is a white man
meari enough to vote against his race, he
puts him and two negroes, in. Last spring
the appropriation' for free schools in this
township was somewhere about $ 300.
The three negroes divided it thus: Seven
teen dollars for the white school and the
remainder to the black. ,
One of the white men complained to
the superintendent and he said: "Go
back and tell them if they do not allow
you more than that I will appoint anoth
er committee." Then they agreed for
the white school to have $80. We pay
nine-tenths of the tax; and take whatev
er they allow ns to have.
How would you like tor your wife or
son to be arrested by a negro constable,
and carried before three or four negro
magistrate, to be tried for perhaps no
offense at all, and have judgment given
against them iri-the face of positive evi
dence to the contrary? If we anneal to
a higher court we have to pay our money
and be tried before a Bepublican judge,
with perhaps a jury that can be bribed
to do anything. .
uon t tnins ior a moment mat this is
published to advance the interest of any
party. I despise the very name of poli
tics. I have no axe to grind no relatives
that are looking for a soft place. Of
course every white man in this portion of
North Carolina is a Democrat who i3 not
an infidel or an idiot, but they are not
office-seekers. We have five negro vo
ters to one white man in this township,
and four out of five of these are worki ng
hard to make a living and are being
cheated out of their ;labor by high taxes
and low prices just like the white man,
They are afraii not to vote for Republi
cans though they know it is bringing
destruction on mem. j.ney come to us
with pitiful stories of their privations,
but it is simply impossible to make them
understand the condition of things. One
negro said two years ago, "If cotton does
not go up after the election I will never
vote that way again." A few weeks aqo he
said he had found out all about it. Cleve
land had taken the tariff off of everything
a"hd they had shipped so much cotton
here from Liverpool that we couldn't get
anything for what we made.
Suppose you had a large majority of ig
norant people in yoar county and a man
a member of the church, a son of
minister of tie Gospel should get upon
a public platform and tell them: "If
white people don't do to suit you stick a
torch to their houses and burn them over
theif beads." Suppose a man was to tell
your neighbors to vote for hiaa for solici
tor and he would not notice their stealing
a pig or a chicken; he was going for these
white rascals that tried to cheat men
out of their yotes? . Oh time would fail to
tell of the villainous advice that is given
to these poor ignorant negroes by every
single office-seeker that has ever spoken
in our country, a tew years ago a man
in" Davidson county shot a woman- and
the men in the' community never stopped
until he was hung to a limb. Last year,
a negro near Henderson went to a white
woman's house and backed her head to
pieces with an axe. They found her
dead or dying next morning with her
little babe crawling over her, dabbling in
her blood. Did they hang the brute?
Nay, verily,"-a Republican judge gave
him 30 years in the penitentiary. Why
was he not hung? ; They said it was
against our North Carolina law to haug
one for murder unless you could prove
that he left home with the intention of
committing the murder.
I could write a ream of paper about the
indignities we have to to suffer, and we
are well off compared to what they are
lower down, but it would be a waste of
time. If any one thinks that Southern
people will continue to bear it, and kiss
the rod that smites them, let a hundred
battle-grounds in old Virginia, where
thousands of our brave sons and brothers
are sleeping in untimely graves, bear
witness to the contrary. Mothers, when
you kneel by the little white cot to 'ask
for protection for the precious, innocent
sleeper, remember your eastern sisters
and send up one petition that God' will
not forsake them in their dire extremity
Fathers, when you look on that fair
young girl that you would aie to save
from harm, remember that the pen of in
spiration has written: "What measure ye
mete it shall be measured to you again,"
and may God deal with . you in your
direst need as you do with us in this mat
ter. Oh! ye Republican office-seekers!
Clothe your wives and children in purple
and fine linnen and let them fare sumpt
uously every day. Build palatial homea
to shelter them with your ill-gotten
gains, but as sure as the sun shines in the
blue canopy of Heaven you will see the
time that all your money will not shield
you from the worm that dieth not, and
the fire that is not quenched. And you
Populists poor, pitiful jackals, crawling
alter the Republican party, if perchance
you may find somo fragments on the
bones of truth, and honor, and justice,
with which to glut yourselves may
God have more mercy on you than you
have had on us when the day of reckon
ing comes!
And on the back of everything else,
nine-tenths of our postoffices are kept by
the most contemptible negroes that they
can find in the State. They have turned
out widows with no other means of mak,-,
ing a living, and honorable white men
that gave every satisfaction to all con
cerned, and put in negroes, that have
not sense enough to know to which end
of the road a letter ought to go. Per
sons send , letters to the office to go off
in haste, and perhaps in a week the
same letter will come back to them.
never having left the office at all. If it
is a matter of life and death, sometimes
you can t get your mail irom the omce
till it is a week old, though you ask for
it every day and regular office hours
one has to go all over the village to fi d
the post-negro to open the office and
let you have your mail. It is not safe
for any young lady to go to the office
without a body guard. 'And what is
all this foi? Why must we suffer
such things? Veil your faces, oh ye
angels, while I write! Simply because
some men, made in the image of God,
wants to get his hand in the public treas
ury to steal the hard earnings of farm
ers and other business men in North Car
olina. Every one of them has stood in
the presence of God and man and an
gels and sworn to protect the constitution
of the United States, but they care not
that they stand perjured. They care for
nothing but money and power. The
cries of the oppressed is music in their
ears. God pity them! God pity them!
We rejoice in the prosperity of the
colored race are always glad to know
of any good fortune that may come to
it. The kindest feeling exists between us
and a majority of them, but they are too
ignorant to rule us, or even themselves,
and no one desires such a state ot things ,
except some one who is lost to every good
impulse one that has given himself
to Satan for a certain amount of money.
There ia little doubt in the minds of
any one who understands the situation
that there will be blood shed, unless there
is a material alteration in political affairs
in the extreme eastern counties, and the
brand of Cain will not sit lightly on the
brows of politicians, hardened sinners
though they be. If I could die to day,
and save my mother State from the
horrors that threaten her, I think I
would willingly lay down my life to
save her, but that would not ayail any
thing; so I appeal to you, honest, faith
ful Christian men, both white and black,
to help u-; and may the Supreme Ru
ler 01 tnis universe bless you in? your
store, your children and grandchildren,
your body and your soul, as you listen
to the prayer of - -

Cigarette Stops ai Wedding.
Midville, Neb. , Dispatch, 18th. ...
Because her fiance, Harry Keldar, de
tected the odor of cigarette smoke on her
breath he left Miss Geneva Randsom at
the altar, where they stood, awaiting to
be married. He had previously discov
ered that she smoked, but she had prom
ised him that she would discontinue the
habit. Shortly before the hour" set for
th marriage one of the bridesmaids of
fered her a cigarette ' r and she smoked it.
As the clergyman commenced the cere-
mony7 Keldar sniffed suspiciously. Then
he leaned forward with his face close to
the bride's. -
"You've been smoking again?" he exr
claimed. .. '" -
. Miss Ransom vouchsafed no reply.
Without another word Keldar turned and
walked out of the house. The bride faint
ed. The bridegroom's friends hurried
out to bring him back. But Keldar
wouldn't go. Nor would Miss Ransom
liaye accepted him had he changed
his mind. The match has been declared
off. '

To the Editor of The Charlotte 0b
" server: .
I am an old man, a peaceable man
and have always lired an honest
man. Never in my life have I taken
any active part in political affairs
and I Bhould not do so now if it
were not in defence of my dear old
pastor, Jesse H. Page, when I see
him assailed as a negro has done in
your town, and feeling I am partly to
blame for it, I feel that I would be
a mean man to sit still and have
nothing to say in defence of my
dear old brother, whose name will
live in the heart3 of his people, and
ia defence of his country, long after
such negroes as the one who wrote
such insulting language (calling
him a liar, etc.), are gone; ,
I wrote to Brother Page myself to
know the truth of negro rule in the
eastern counties. I hatl his first
letter to me published without ask
ing his consent Knowing the man
as I do I felt that every word .is
true. I felt that I wanted my
friends to see and know, for them
selves what was truth, having no
thought of any reasonable, unpreju
'ded man, who knows Mr. Page, de
ny ng what he says. And yet I find
niqn that do not believe him. I have
another letter from him, which I did
not have published from the fact that
there is such a howl over the first
one, so I concluded I would not be
instrumental in bringing up anoth
er howl and thought I would keep
quiet and let the office-seekers do
the fighting, but, lo and behold! Up
turns a vicious negro and calls my
brothel a liar, insolently demand
ing that he stop his "rot" and "lies,"
etc., and yet this negro calls him
self a preacher! What kind of love
do you call that? How mauy souls
will he be instrumental, in the hands
of God, in saving?
I am thankful to say that we do
not have such vicious fellows np this
way and I feel that all good men,
white or black, will denounce all
such men as willlet their evil pa s
Bionand hatred go so far as to
induce them to write Buch lan
guage. Now to my brother Populist
friends what do you think of it?
Or,- in other words, what do you
think of a trading party that will
undertake to join one side and fail
to do so and then whirl back and
join the party that they did not aim
to defeat, and call the party tney
wanted to loin all sorts of bad
names because they failed to trade
with it? Come back, brother, for
vou will fiud it best to do so. Let
politicians howl, but let us good
common, solid-thinking white men
come together and say this is our fair
land and white men must rule it.

Judge Hines, of Atlanta, who, as the
Populist candidate for Governor, receiv
ea the highest number of votes any
Populist ever received in Georgia, sees
that there must be an end to his party
in the South, and he proposes a pleasant
way f r all Populists to get back home.
Here ia his idea:
"In the next State election I am will
ing to let the Democrats and Populists
run separate tickets in a white primary.
If the Democratic ticket gets the most
votes in such a primary, let the Populists
retire, and the Democrats have an open
field. If the Populists carry the day in
such a primary, let the Democrats retire
from the field, and not oppose the Pop
ulist nominees.

Raleigh News and Observer. -
;Laurinburg,N.C, Oct 21. The Repub-
lican county candidates, in company with
white Republican by the name of
Henry Covington, are now making the
county canvass.
Yesterday Covington spoke- at Old
Hundred and(made a villainous speech.
He told the negroes they were the best
race of people on earth.
He also told them that when our white
girls return from colleges and schools the
negroes are usually employed to look af
ter them and drive them about over the
country, he added:
'If I were in your places I would pat
my arms around them."
To day they were billed lo speak at
Mason's Cross roads, near here. The
best citizens of Gibson, Laurinburg,
Laurel Hill and the community gereral
lyj resolved that they would not have
a repetition of the occurrence. So they
were promptly met by three hundred of
our most determined element and ad
vised to make no mora inflaming speech
es in lower Richmond. .
As lor Coyinton, he was made to stand
op in a buggy and retract, saying he was
sorry for what he said, and promisin g
never to do so again. He was then put
in his buggy and told to hit the grit,
which he did.
If men who call themselves white are
determidedto go-round inflaming' the
negroes, and abusing good white men and
women, the people are determined that
they shall seek other quaiters to carry
on their nefarious business.

Dentf 'Bodies A Misrepresenta
tion.
Charlotte Observer.
This is from The Asheyille Regis
ter, a Republican paper:
'It ia reported that Mr. Craig, the
Democratic nominee for the Legis
lature in this county, has been mis
representing the law relative to the
delivery of certain dead bodies to
the1 medical institutions of the State.
Mr. Craig tells the people, so it is
said, that the law of 1897 provides
that that the bodies of those who
die in the almshouses and insane
asylums are given to the medical
schools; aud on this misrepresenta
tation makes a pitiful appeal. Now
we are willing for the truth to be de
veloped, and"will stand or fall by it."
The law 1897 provides that the bod
ies of criminals who die in jails and
prison hospitals, and who have been
executed for crime shall be given to
the medical schools. If, however,
the bodies of these criminals are
claimed by relatives who will inter
them at their own expense, the au
thorities are required to deliver them
to their km people. Toe law ap
plies only to the bodies of criminals
who die in jails and prison hospitals
or who are executed for crime, and
only then when the expeuse of bur
ial must be borne by the btate or
county. The unfortunate in the
poor house or the insane asylum is as
secure from the operations or this
act as the wealthiest family in the
county, and Mr. Craig knows it."
This is not true, we nave no
right to say that its writer knew that
he was misrepresenting the facts,
but if he did not, he has no business
to be writing so about something
he knows nothing about. The law
in question provides not only that
the unclaimed bodies of dead crimi
nals shall be turned over to the med
ical schools for dissection, but also
the unclaimed dead bodies of pau
pers and lunatics dying in "public
institutions." To satisfy himself
of the truth of what we say, one has
only to turn to chapter 203 of the
laws of 1897. JNow, it is often im
possible, by reason of distance aud
lack of expeditious mail or telegraph
facilities, for the authorities of our
insane asylums to notify the family
of the death of an inmate, in time
for the body to be claimed. Take
the State Hospital at Morganton, for
instance, and if an inmate whose
relatives live in the country dis
tricts of Cherokee, Clay, Yancey,
Anson, Union, Mecklenburg, Ashe
or even Mitchel, an. adjoining coun
ty. : should die, the body would,
under this law, be shipped to one of
the medical schools of the State for
dissection, instead of being decent
ly interred in the neat little ceme
tery connected with the institution,
because it would be impossible to
notify these relatives in time for
them to come for it In the case of
patients of the Marganton Hospital
I this shipment of bodies to the medi
cal scaoois nas nor. occurred and win
not, but only for the reasoo.that its
superintendent, Dr. P. L. Murphv,
was so outraged by it that as soon as
he learned of the passage of this
law that he declared his purpose to
bury his people at his personal ex
pense when he could not reach their
relatives in time for them to come or
send for their bodies.

'X White Nan of Properly er

Senator Pritchard was not the only
Republican oratorical pebble on'the beach
in Statesville this week. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney E. Spencer Blackburn waa
his forerunner, he having spoken at the
court house Tuesday evening. Black
burn is "noted for his attempted sky
scrapping oratory, his poses and his ut
ter recklessness of statement. ' Life is
short and space in The Landmark is val
uable, therefore -we didn't follow Mr.
Blackbnrn'8 speech, but in the course of
his remarks he made one startling ad
mission which deserves notice. He was
complaining about the Democratic
speakers were doing the State great
damage by representing that communi
ties were governed by negroes. "What
worse could you do for Statesville," he
exclaimed, "than to let it be known
aboard that the town was dominated by
negroes and controlled by negro offi
cers! No white man of respectability or
property would come and locate among
you!" .
That's it, Mr. Blackburn. That's the
Democratic argument, and you didn't
think how it sounded -when you made it.
What white man of respectability or prop
erty wants to live in a community con
trolled by negroes, as you say; and yet
your crowd turned over Greenville, "New
Berne, Wilmington and other towns and
communities to them. Even if there are
a few white men in office in these places
the negroes control -them.
And Senator Pritchard in his speech
bemoaned the fact that this negro cry
was damaging the reputation oftheState
and working harm by creating race an
tagonism. Who made it possible, pray!
Does any sane man suppose that the
white people of the ea3t who pay the tax
es and own the property are going to sit
quiet and be controlled by negroes rut
over them by Senator Pritchard's friends!
No; and when they resent what has been
done for them by these fusionists, these
latter cry out in alarm that the btate is
injured and a race clash is threatened
Much regard had they for the State's rep-
putalion when they brought these things
about.

firmly believe in the principles of the Re
publican party."
In speaking further of the terrible con
dition of affairs here Colonel Foster
said he recognized the fact that the pres
ent movement was one by the business
men and tax payers of the commuuity
to administer and control their affairs.
"I think," he said, "that the representa
tives of 95 per cent, of the taxes paid
ought to control. They ought not to be
deprived of their priyilege of controlling
the administration of their affairs. I
want no citizen deprived of any of his
rights or privileges to which he is en
titled by reason of his intelligence and
moral worth, yet I am heartily in favor
of the control of affairs by the intelli
gence, character arid property interests of
any community."

The "Colored Ladies" Association of
Wilmington publishes the following in
the "IJaily Kecord, the negro paper
that slandered white women:
"Resolved, That every negro who re
fuses to register his name next Saturday
that he may vote, we shall make it our
Dustness to deal with him in a way that
will not be pleasant. He shall be
branded a white-livered coward who
would sell his liberty and the liberty of
our whole race to the demons who are
even now seeking to take away the
most sacred rights vouchiafed to any
people. We are further
"Resolved, To teach our children to
love the party of manhood's rights and
liberties, trusting in God to restore order
out of the present confussion. Be it
Resolved Further, That we have the3e
resolutions published in our .Daily Re
Cord, the one medium that has stood up

The Eyes of the Country Upon Us
Charlotte Observer.
The political situation in North Caro
lina is attracting the attention of all the
country. Our South Carolina and Vir
ginia brethren of the press are watching
narrowly the progress the the campaign
and commentine on it frequently, and
yesterday alone our attention was at
tracted to editorial articles upon It from
The Springfiield, Mass., Republican
and The New Orleans States. That
from the latter was with special refer
ence to the vile articles which appeared
a few weeks ago in the negro paper at
Wilmington, in which it was alleged
that the white women of the State are
as much to blame as the negro men,
who are lvnched for outraging them, if
not more. The New Orleans paper ob
serves that "it is safe to say that there is
uot a con: munity in the South outside ot
North Carolina but would have hung
the black scoundrel who pen aed the
article to the first lamp post." Certainly
our people have been more than patient
under this outrageous publication, and
many other thing3 which they have en
dured, but there is a better remedy
for these thine3 than hanging the vil-
lians to lamp posts. The remedy is to
be fou id at the ballot-box, and if is not
applied next month then indeed will the
State be fairly obnoxious to the implied
ceusure of it' contained in the foregoing
quotation.
We started out to say, however, that
the eyes of the natiou are upon North
Carolina, and unless the State rights it
self at the coming election we are likely
to fall under that contempt which is al
ways visited upon cravens.
White Boy Fourteen Tears Old
Delivered by a Fusion Sheriu"
to His Deputies Fettered to
Two Negroes.
Goldsboro, N. C, Oct. 20. V. J. Mc-
Arthur and Jerre Mat this, deputies of the
Fusion Sheriff of Sampson county, ar--.
rived at Qoldsboro at noon to-day with
Henry Johnson, a white boy, I4 years
old chained to two negroes, en route to
the penitentiary. While they were sit
ting in the waiting room they were seen
by many citizens of this county, whose
indignation was excited by the pitiable "
spectacle.
The deputies were earnestly requested
by many of our leading citizens to un
chain the white boy from the hero pris
oners. The deputies indignantly de
clined, and stated that Sheriff Marshburn
delivered them to them on the train
chained togetherr that they should eat
dinner together, and he proposed to car- 7
ry them to Raleigh, chained together.
Many remonstrances were niaJe, and
these proving unavailing, a warrant was
issued and the deputies and their prison
ers were taken before the magistrate's
court, where the matter w:is investigated
and where, to avoid judgment against
them, the deputies agreed to separate the
boy from the negroes. This was done,
and the deputies departed with their
prisoners for Raleigh.
This is the second time within the last
tew days that white prisoners have passed
here chained to r.egroe3 in charge of Fu
sion officials.
The people of this community, irre
spective of politics, are justly indignant
at these repeated attempts to dagradethe
white man.

Public Statement From
A Public Man
Hon. W. H. Ohley, Ex-Seeretary of State of
West Virginia, write an open letter.
Charleston, W. Va., Mar. 9, 1898.
To ivhom it may concern :
"I most heartily recommend Pe-ru-nt
as of great benefit-in cases of catarrh.
It ia especially beneficial wherever th
mucous membranes are affected. As 1
tonic it certainly has no superior."
, W. H. Ohlkt, Ex-Secretary of State.
Probably a Mistake on the Fart
ot the 1'opulists.
Raleigh Post.
The Republicans, five-sixths of whom
are negroes, have not the bras3 to deny
that their's is the negro party. Not hav
ing the brass to make this denial them
selves, they have put forward Butler,
Ayer, Thompson & Co., to deny it for
them.
These funniest of orators and writers say
that the Republican party is the white
man's party, and that the Democratic
party is the negro party. Is it not strange
that the 120,000 negro voters don't know
which is their party, and that for 30 years
they have been voting with the wrong
party?
And ia it not stranee that Holton and
Hyams have printed the names of ne
groes on their tickets lor Congress and
Solicitor? And will print the names of
neeroes on local tickets in thirty coun
tiesr
It is not strange that negroes exclusive
ly attend the conventions of a party to
which they do not belong:, and often
nominate the ticket? May be those gocd
and trnthful men, Butler, Ayer, Thomp
son and Jenkius are mistaken. And
may be the party which has 120,000 ne
groes to 30,000 white voters, and which
sends negroes to Congress, to the legisla
ture, makes solicitors, magistrates, coro
ners, treasurers, constables, policemen of
nearly a 1,000 negroes, is really a negro
party.
And may be the party of 155,000 white
men, with none dui wnite voters, can
didates or officers, and asking for none
but white votes, is really a white man's
party.

Mr. T.J. Anderson, general passenger
agent of the Seaboard Air Line, some
times goes outside of the newspapers for
a little advertising.
Recently while iu the . Atlantic Hotel
at Norfolk, Va., he observed a man who
had fainted." Let me pass,"cried the genial
railroader, elbowing his way through
the surrounding crowd, "I am a doctor.'
The people fell back ard the self-ap
pointed physician found himself in front
of his patient. His manner was some
what heroic, for after pinching and pound
ing the man, he took something from
his pocket aud stuck it on the man's
forehead, jamming his hat over it "to
keep it from the air," he said, adding:
"The effect of that plaster will be simply
magical. Take off his hat in a few min
utes and he will be completely well."
With these words, he started for the
Portsmouth boat. The crowd became
denser every minute, awaiting the effect
of the wonderful cure.
After several minutes the man's hat
was removed, witn surprise me peo
ple gazed at the plaster. It was a "stick"
on which was inscribed in large tyr e:
"Go South via the Seaboard Air Line."
Hon. W. H. Ohxkt.
Pe-ru-na ha" cured thousands of ob
stinate cases of catarrh, and is perhaps
the only efficient remedy in existence
for catarrhal diseases; but there are
countless multitudes of people who are
still struggling with catarrh and seed
help. To snch as these the unqualified
recommendation of Pe-ru-na by Ex-
Secretary Ohley is directed. Pe-rtx-na
is scientific and purely vegetable. AH
druggists sell it.
More than twenty million free samples
of DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve have been
distributed by the manufacturers. What
better proof of their confidence in it's
