Our County Ticket. We present to our readers this week the Democratic Legis lative and County ticket. We bespeak for each and every one of them the earnest and hearty . support of our people. The individuals who are on this ticket are all worthy of public confidence. None of them were specially candidates for the offi ces to which ihey have been named, but they were chosen from the body of the Democratic party by the most intelligent and patriotic convention that ever assembled in the county. There is no suggestion' that there was any "ring rule" packing or trading in that-convention. Every Democrat was a delegate and had a right to speak his choice by his vote. That there will be some kicking is to be expected, who ever heard of a ticket that was un objectionable to everybody. But of all times this is the time for our people to put personal likes and dislikes behind them and strike one telling fatal blow at the hydra headed monster oi negro supremacy, uur ene mies are too glad when they near oi aissatisiaction in our own ranks, let harmony prevai and victory will be our reward. riM i ii . , i j.nai ma men on our ticket are not perfect we will concede, but we must remember that we are not runing angels this year, out men, and let us hope true hearted, brave, patriotic men who wnen tney are elevated to the offices to which they aspire will see to it that the scandals the profligacy, the excesses of all kinds financial, moral and political that havecharacterized the present mongrel government of JNorth Carolina shall cease in our borders, and that the people shall enjoy again the blessings of a clean moral and christian government. God forbid, that the demon of discord shall find a footing in our camp, but that gentle and benignant influence of peace, concord and harmony may be our governing principle, Again we say, let the tounge of criticism for once be hushed, and the clarion bugle notes of victory wjill gladeu every heart in the land. Mr. Daniel Hugh McLean, nominated for, the House in Harnett, is an able campaigner and an organizer from "way back!" Recently when Rev. Baylus Cade went to Harnett to urge the Populists to fuse again with the negroes, Mr. McLean "didn't; do a thing to him," but expose his fallacies to the delight of the honest Populists whain Harnett will take no more negroism and goldbugism in their politics. News & Observer. To W. H. Bernard, Editor Star, Wilmington, N. C. In response to your request for an account of how the town of Greenville was turned over to the negroes by the Republican Populist Fusion Legislature I submit the following statement of facts : The county of Pitt has a pop ulation of about thirty thousand people and is one of the finest agricultural counties in the State. Greenville, its capital towTn, has a population of about three thousand people and is a grow ing prosperous town. A major- ity oi its voters are wlnte men, i and if the people were left to select their officers by any fair or usual method they would be certain to choose competent white men. The town, however, is the home of one of the leading Re publicans of the State and ibe ing under obligations to the ne groes he planned to have the town turned over to them. And here is the way it was done. The fusion legislature of 1895, adopting his plan, divided the town into four wards. The boundaries of these wards were so turned and zigzagged as to put a majority of negro voters in the first and third wards, and a majority of white voters in the second and fourth wards. The first ward is shaped very much like a large broad-axe, with a very long handle, and the third ward is like the letter V. The next step in this devil ish plan was to confer upon each of the wards having a majority of negro voters the right, to elect two councilmen each, and to restrict the white wards to one councilman each. At the town election in Mav, 1897, the negroes availed them selves of the power given them by the Repulican-Fusion Legis lature and took charge of the town. They elected four negro councilmen wrhile the white peo ple could elect but two. Thus we had a board composed of four negroes and two white men. This board elected a white Re publican mayor, a white cheif of police, a negro assistant police man for the day, a negro police man for the night, and a negro clerk to the board. The taxable property of the town is near three-quarters of a million of dollars. The board of councilmen lew the taxes and order the expenditures. It may be interesting to know how those who levied and spent the taxes ranked as tax payers Une of the negro councilmen paid 84 cents taxes on property, another b6 cents and the other two NOTHING. So the four negro councilmen paid $1.47 taxes on property for the sup port of the town. The white Republican mayor paid 43 cents on property and the white Re publican cheif of police did not do quite so well, he paid only oU cents, lhe negro clerk paid nothing and the negro night watchman nothing. The negro assistant policeman paid $5.75. The nine men who control the town, levy its taxes and spend the money, paid altogether $7. o, aim leaving out the assis tant negro day policeman, the other eight paid $2.20. The revenues of the town for the year from May, 1897, to May, lb'Jh, .was about $0,500, of which about $2,800 went to pay salaries and fees of office or place holders. The white Re publican mayor and the white Republican cheif-of-police were both indicted at Sentprnhpr term, 1898, of Pitt Superior Court for gambling. They con- lessed their guilt in open court at January term, 1898, and were re-elected to the same offices by a negro Board of Councilmen in May, 1898, lhe mayor has since resigned to enter the Internal Revenue Service ami a better man, a Populist has been elected in his place, but the town is still in the control of the negroes, as hey again elected four negro councilmen at the town election this year and these negro coun- knowledge, where white men deliberately divided up a town into wards for the purpose of turning it over to the negroes. For one to properly appreci ate the real condition of things in Greenville it is necessary for him to go there and see for him self. - But for the forbearance of the white people, trouble might have come long ago. They have fully determined to' be pa tient and forbearing and to ap peal, as they are now doing, to their white brethren throughout the State to send men to the next Legislature who will undo this great wrong and wipe out that infamous act of 1895. A Negro Editor Defames Women. our There is a paper published in Wilmington called the Daily Record edited and owned by a negro. In a recent issue of that paper appears an article which is an insult to every white citizen of the state, and a gross and villainous slander of our fair women. When white men ruled North Carolina such an insult would have been resented in a few hours after the-paper had come from the press. Has the white man hood of North Carolina so de- TH0S.. J. JARVIS. generated that it fears to resent an insult of the grossest and vilest character to its women? It is specially insulting to the poor white women but includes white girls of culture and re finement. Can any white man read this slander and then vote for the party of the negro? Read what this negro editor says. Here it is : "We suggest that the whites guard their women more closely Democratic Hand Book.

This book is history and re lates some dark incidents in the control and management by the Republican and fusion leaders, facts, which should be indellibly stamped on the mind of every man, woman and child in the State.

Bentonville, N. C. Aug, 18. When the Populist party was formed, I thought it would bring relief to the farmer who was struggling against low prices. I have voted that ticket for the past six years. Many of my neighbors voted the Pop ulist and Fusion ticket, out of honest motives. They are good men, and meant well. But it looks now like the Re publican party is about to swal low up the Populist party. When the Populist members of the Legislature split and elected Pritchard, I said the end had come. Now, Mr Editor, we have got no relief. McKinley's admin istration has put the gold stand ard on us stronger than ever, and the price of cotton is going lower than ever before. Here in our state the result has been to put negroes over us, and our little school, children, and for me, I shall not stand it any longer. I went in the Democratic Convention on the 28th of July. I had my vote as a delegate, and we put out one of the best tickets ever nom inated in the county. I shall vote the Democratic ticket hereafter, and advise my friends to do the same. E. O.
