Kditor Caucasian; l'lesse allow
me a little space in your paper to make
a short statement io regard to tbe con
dition of affairs in Brunswick count
under Democratic rule and under Pop
ulist rule. In 1806, when tbe Populists
took charge of county affairs we found
tbat tbe county was about $6,000 in
debt, no money on band to pay any
thing, county scrip selling for seventy
cents on tbe dollar, 25 per cent, below
par. Jurors could not get tbeir claims
cashed. Court claims went unpaid.
There were more negoes drawn on tbe
jury than white Populists. For one cr
two courts after tbe election in ISC
there was not a Populist drawn. This
is a short sketch under Democratic
rule. Now, lets see tbe conditions with
the Populists in power for only two
years. County over $2,000 better off

How was such a change brought
about? Weil, tbe answer is simply
this: "Good business management."

can see tbe reason for such a change

key to tbe whole machine. And while
the present county administration is
saving the people money tbe Demo
crats are trying to divert tbeir atten
tion from these facts by crying, 'ne
gro." While I don't care to take the Demo
crats' campaign thunder, 1 wish to call
the minds of the Democrats to an in
stance or two :
1. Hays Monroe, a colored citizen of
Bladen county, makes affidavit tbat L.
J. Hall, Democratic Snerifl, had one
Robert McDowell, a colored man, as
tailor and deputy sheriff, and during
lis time in that position be had one
Mr. Swain, a white prisoner, from
onroe was
sheriff.
2. The Democrats voted for Horace
Oreely for President, a man who fa
vored mixed schools.
3. When the school committee were
elected by the vote of the people in the
townships, we find that the Democrats
voted for and elected a negro as com
mitteeman in Sballotte township,
Brunswick county.
I saw a piece sometime ago that said
the people would flee the wrath to
come in November. Well, we had a
1892

county, and tbe people dont want any
more of that wrath.

uppish. He toot the little negro houw-boy

Uat he would give him a dollar if he would
tell him which room Miss Mayo, Dr. Mayo's
grown daughter, occupied. The negro boy

The Populist Proposition Submitted
to th Democrats at Their State Con
ventionPopulist are Entitled to Pro
portionate Share of Offices.
Faison, N. C, Sept. 26.
Mb. Editor. Having bad the
opportunity of hearing a few politi
cal speeches lately, and in each case
the proposition or resolutions as
tendered by the Populist committee
were read separately and distinctly
(save the division of the offices) to
the audiance. The question was
asked if any one of them was ob
jected to, not a single dissenting
voice was heard, even the most ob
stinate agreed to all of them, show
ing beyond doubt that the people
want them to be enaeted into law.
Such being the case, is it not strange
then tbat the people can stand off,
being only , kept back by partisan
pre j adice for proof.
There is not a white man in this
State that opposes k(at heart) white
supremacy or any of the aforesaid
resolutions. Why is this? Let ns
see; conditions just now forbids, viz;
The Democratic party (I mean of
course the leaders) demand that they
should control the entire govern
ment of the State. These demands
are objected to, on the part of the
Populist. On tbe other hand. the
Populist demand their proportional
ratio of the offices. These are ob
jected to by the Democrats, Let's
go a little runner, juuge ayerys
estimate of the strength of the Dem
ocrats is about 140,000. Mr. Ay
cock's estimate of the Populist is
about 40,000 both Democratic au
thority. Now, I ask does not justice
and right demand that the Populist
are honestly entitled to their shave of
the offices, especially when we all
agree, would it not have been better
to have acted along this fine con
jointly.
I. as an individual, will risk say
ing right here, if the resolutions
relative to the railroad lease, had
been elliminated we would have
a very different aspect of affairs to
day. And further, if the politicians
and the soealled agitators would just
shut up and put all the above propo
sitions plainly before the people and
let them take the case on its merits,
they could and would render a ver
dict that would be just and right to
all concerned. Witnrss.

Baltimore American, Aug. 25.
Ex-Mayor W. E. Fountain, of Tar
boro, N. C, and President of the
Board of Trade of that city, was a
visitor in Baltimore yesterday. Mr.
Fountain is'one of Tarboro's mostsnb-
stantial business men, and has been
largely and actively identified with
the many commercial industries that
have done so much to develop his
city. Through his influences a large
amount of Baltimore capital has
been invested in Tarboro enterprises,
and his present trip was made for
the purpose of extending other Bal
timore interests in the direction of
his southern home. Mr. Fountain
is an enthusiast over Baltimore's
natural position as a distributing
point for the South, and predicts
that, with a little more enterprise on
the part of our local manufactures
and merchants, our industries here
will soon wipe away all opposition
that is now encountered in our
Southern trade.
Speaking of trade conditions be
tween Baltimore and various points
in North Carolina, Mr. Fountain said
yesterday. "Tarboro has developed
into one of the greatest commercial
centers of the eastern part of our
State, and we naturally look to Bal
timore for much of our trade sup
plies. Our own manufacturers are
of considerable importance, and,
with the impetus given our commer
cial standing by the influence from
Baltimore, we have fast become an
outlet for the volume of trade that
is sent 8outh from the Monumental
City. Philadelphia and New York
cannot compete with Baltimore in
supplying our wants, on account of
your cheap traffic facilities, and the
little opposition that is set up by
Norfolk conld soon be eradicated if
Baltimore merchants would show a
bit more enterprise in extending
their lines. Affairs in North Caro
lina are in a most prosperous condi
tion, and already a number ox our
leading merchants are in your city.
placing large orders for tbe fall
trade. Baltimore ana .North Carolina
are fast being linked together by a
bond of commercial prosperity."
Mr. Fountain is one of the most
prominent bankers in Tarboro, and
is also tne county treasurer." tie is
also agent for the Southern Express
Company and general agent for the
Western Union Telegraph Company
for Eastern . North Carolina. He
has been quite a promoter of South
ern investments, and has placed on
a paying basis cotton mills and other
paying industries. Incidentally, it
might be mentioned that Mr., Fount
ain has done quite a lot or. newspa

Sir : I notice with regret a "mali
cious article" in your paper purport
ing to quote language used by me at
Mildred. N. C. on Sept. 13. 1898, also
language used Oct. 29, 1894 at Old
Sparta, If. C, wherein. I am reported
at Mildred as having advised tbe ne
groes to come to tbe pons armea witn
rocks, clabs and pistols, which is false
upon its face; tbe remarks accredited
to me at lia spans, are, mat iue poor
white man and tbe negro were now
equal, tbat the poor white man had be
gun to inrite tne negro into nis noose
and would soon begin to invite him
to eat and sleep with him. No
thin ir could be further from tbe
truth, besides I want to add, does not
my every act in the general assembly
of North Carolioa out at rest any sucb
fake story. See Senate journal, session
1897, page 366, Senate bill 825, a bill to
be entitled an act to prohibit cohabi

not one Democrat in tbat body voted
for this bill, this will show how much

and general grand that, but when yon
come down to the fact it is tbe same
old time overseer. Their vocation is
not to superintend tho operation of
tho railroads, for that is done by
practical working men who get small
salaries, but these ' overseers are to
oversee tho people. They manage
and manipulate political conven
tions, they run legislatures, govern
ors, judges and newspapers. They
watcu for and suppress all indica
tions of independence among tbe peo
ple. They bnlly some leaders and
buy others. They use freo passes
liberally. It is cheap purchase for
them as thoae who pay for their own
riding pay enough more to fay the
fare of thoaa wbo ride freo. in re
turn for this, these "oversoers" are
paid high salaries from WMfJW a

our pockets besides free passes for
their relatives and "friends," and
big palace ears, with servants, sec

The overseers, like those of old

used this incindiary language : "Be-1 ersT
fore we will allow the negroes to con
trol this State as they do now, we will
kill enough of them tbat there will not
be enough left to bury tne aeaa." socn
remarks being used by intelligent
white men, 1 advised tbe negroes to
come and vote tbeir sentiments if it
cost them their lives. Now, you give
me credit of having ordinary good
sense, how can you recenc-ile these two
statements, when every sane man
knows tbe laws ot aiortn Carolina pro
hibits armed bodies or aay kind at the

themselves into trouble? But, Mr.
