The Newbern Banner has eleven columns of reading matter and about ten of them devoted to O. Hubbs. The name of Mr. 11. 11. Martin has been mentioned as a suitable Republican candidate for Congress irom the 6th District. And so our friend, W. V. Turner’s Bee, has stung itself to death. Bad. It reversed its motto, gave itself the sting and its enemy the honey. Better luck next time. The Palmetto Press failed to make its appearance last week, but comes out this week in a new dress from its own office. We congratu late the Press upon its success. Short correspondence of interest to the general public is solicited, but don’t be disappointed if you fail to see your production in our columns. We are not responsible for the views of correspondence. Anonimous com munications' go to the waste basket. The Republicans of Georgia met in Convention last week in' Atlanta, and nominated a State ticket of colored and white men. If Georgia can afford to run colored men on her State ticket we might afford them’ on our county ticket. The following were nominated: For Congressman at Large, R. D. Locke; for Governor, L. J. Gartrell; Secre tary of State, R. It. Wright; Treasu rer, E. F. Putney, Comptroller- General, W. A. Pledger; Attorney General, Geo. S. Thomas. At the magistrates’ meeting last Monday, the following persons were elected County Commissioners: R. M. Oates, W- E. Ardrey, J. L. Brown, R. D. Whitly and J. R. Mor ris. Only one of ,the old board was retained. One might think from this that the old board didn’tdo the thing up satisfactory. I THE Wilson News of the sth, in i speaking of what Hon. O. Ilubbs has done for his constituency failed to add his columns ami thereby show his readers the number of each race appointed and the amount of salary for each race. Ho failed to state that the whites get twice as much salary as the colored when the colored have, wo suppose, fifty voters to one whito. We think he mistakes also when he-says no col ored man applied for the postoffice at Tarboro. Yes, we repeat it, there must be a colored man put on the County ticket during the next campaign, or you will have us to fight until the election—we can’t wait any longer. ‘‘Ain’t we right?”— Wilson News. Yes, you are right in this particu lar, but you would show some con sistency if you supported O'Hara, your colored nominee for Congress. Look out Sammie, we trust you will get straight yet. — [Ed. Messen ger. CORRECTIONS. In our report of the Odd 1‘ cl lows meeting here last week we stated that there was no visiting lodge; the lodge from Greensboro was here in a body, and brought a brass band with them. The Grand Lodge meets in Greensboro the first Tues day in August, 1883, instead of Goldsboro. WE ARE*COMING. . Our friends along the Carolina Central will please got ready for us. We are coming. In a week or ten days we intend to visit Monroe, Wadesboro, Shoe Heel, and other j points along the line. We will do Fayetteville a little; while very soon. We send nearly | fifty papers there now. We want by tho first of October 200 subscrib ers in Cumberland. Prepare for us. We see that the People Defense of Augusta, Ga., reprints and credits our editorial, “Do Justice to the Colored Man,” to tho Charlotte Messenger. Either the Defense or the Messenger owe us an apology. If our friends will stop doing us wrong wo will stop making a noise. —Virginia Star. The above clipping appeared in our issue of tho 22nd and the issue of the 29th is the first to reach our office. Wo would refer you to “some other body.” — Defense. The article referred to appeared in the Messenger of the 15th ult., and was credited to Exchange. Now if the Defense overlooked the credit wc gave, and gave us credit for its production, we are not responsible. The Defense does owe the Star an apology. TO LIBERALS AND COALITIONISTS. By whose votes do you expect to elect your ticket ? In your call for a Convention why have you neg lected the organ of your own voters? Have you considered whether or not you will put a colored man on your ticket to be voted for ? We hope these’ things have been duly considered, for though we have said much, wo sincerely hope this new iaction of the two old par ties will offer us some inducement to follow them. We would like to do so, and shall if they allow us. Show your hand, gentlemen. COALITION AND THE NEGRO. If Coalition is to help tho Negro, we say lets have it. If the leaders of the move are sincere, and mean business, we give them our hand and say come on boys and help them. But if there is nothing in the move for the Negro, then we see that wo have nothing to lose by voting against them as we have nothing anyway. If it is that same vindictive element that has fought us in the Democratic party, fight ing under new colors, we shall say to our boys, come with two-edged weapons and continue to fight for right upon principle and let policy go. Till we become independent we will be the boot-licks of all par ties. THE STAR 0? Z ON. The above named paper is the or gan of the ZUui A. M. K. Church, and is published or said to bo published twice a month at Salisbury, N. C., with one A. S. Richardson as editor. A few woeks ago we intimated that we had something in store for tho public concerning this paper, Some of the ministers and friends of that church have becomo alarmed and fear wo will injure ourself and church institutions if we make cer tain explanations. We say now to all concerned that we intend to do no one an injustice it we can help ourself. We are prompted solely by a sense of right and duty to make certain exposi tions for the good of the rising gen eration. We would not say a word against the Star, the connection or any institution of the connection unless they come in our way so as we cannot avoid doing so. Zion is our family church, we love her. We rejoice in the prospects of a successful organ and tho early es tablishment of an institution of learning. AVe rejoice also to know that in tho church we havein North Carolina a number of young men whose moral and intellectual train ing recommends them to positions in Buch an institution. We name with pleasure Joseph C. Price, Chas. AV. Chesnut, John T. Williams and John AV. Smith. AVhen such men are brought to the front in church affairs, when fit men are put at tho head of our organ and institutions of learning, wc will give our hearti est support to them. Our friends need nol fear rash or ungenerous action on our part. AVe have had the matter under consid eration several months, and wo shall move in it as is our custom carefully. We are willing to sub mit our moral standing to tho scru tiny of the public at any time and any person has tho right to ques tion the fitness of a man to fill a public position. AVe do not care to hear of any threats of persons working against our paper if we take a stand against the Star of Zion. AVe do not intend to fight the Star, as we said above. But if certain parties are put in certain places, we do intend to “hew to the line let the chips fall where they may." We intend to meet you at the con ference next fall; wc intend to in form the Bishop and the confer ence, and if they do not think it necessary to have moral leaders at the head of our institutions, why they should not expect them to be respected. Now, gentlemen, we shall be glad to have your support; but if you expect us to sacrifice principle; if you want us to shut our eyes against dishonesty, deception and immorality, wo ask to be excused. Shall we blush at erimes which you let go unpunished and thereby en eourage them? It is for right, for morality and the general upbuilding of our race that we contend. Will ministers of Christ’s gospel impede our work ? Then, gentlemen, you put your selves in our way. We do not in tend to be silent and suffer these things done. Give us gentlemen at the head of all our institutions and no one shall excel tho Messenger in supporting them. But no threats shall stop us in tho path of duty. If defending morality I s 1° kill ° u t the Messenger, wo shall i.ot dread that death. More anon. POLITICAL RARAG APHS. If the Coalitionists expoet to be supported by the rank and file of colored voters of this County, then they must share the offices with them. Negroes are not fool enough to support a new party who will not recognize them politically. The Coalition ring was busted last week in Georgia. Why ? Be cause the colored mon could neither be bribed nor bought. Hgw is it in Mecklenburg CoUnty ? Every co’orcd man oil the street,! and all that come in from the coun try, want Dr. Norment to run for Congress, and swears they will not vote for anybody else. We must do something. Dawson, straightout Republican, colored, John S. Wise, Jleadjusu-r, and Massey, anti Readjustor, is the ticket in Virginia for Congressmen at large, with everything in Mas seys favor. The Wilson News is consistent in deed when it calls loudly for a col ored man on the county ticket, and yet cries down O’Hara, who has grit enough to run when nominated. Why don’t somebody suggest A. B. Sehenckfor Township Constable? Everybody knows Bert, and if he is endorsed he will run, and he will win. He has handled the club be fore and he would make one of the best officers in the county. The Magistrates mot here last Monday in the Court House and kicked out the old County Commis sioners, with one exception—the people will meet' in November and kick out the old Magistrates with no exception. This kicking is quite numerous now. f. gUuj Artucrttscnmits. ANDERSON & PILGRIM, BARBER SHOP. SPARTANBURG, S.
