There was a large Prohibition meeting held here on last Saturday in which our great orator, Joseph Price, delivered an address. There is no use of our dwelling on his line oratory powers, as he is well known. But why didn't Mr. E. A. Wright, Hon. W. F. Kornegay or some other great Prohibition light introduce Mr. Price? We know, and the negroes know, too. Said he: "Madam, I should like to know whose ferry boats those are that I stumbled over in the hall?" Said she: "Ferry boats, indeed, sir! Those are my shoes ! Very polite of you to call 'cm ferry boats." Said he: "Didr-Jt say ferry boats, Madam ; you misunderstood me, 'fairy boots' I said my dear friend." And all was serene again. 7he North Carolinian.. A young man had been expected for some time to "propose," buthisdifh denco had kept him back, was astonished by his father saying to him as he set off for his sweetheart's residence one even ing : "John, you'd better take the screw driver along with you this time." "What for?" exclaimed John. "So, as to screw up your courage a little," answered pater. When John came home that night he said : "I've done it, father." The Ban ner of Truth, Texas. -Dr. T. S. P. Miller, of New York, has been appointed upon the medical staff of the Home Providential Salety Fund Association of New York city, (white,) and is the first physioian of color ever appointed to a position in a company of white men. We congratulate the doc tor on his appointment, and from what we know of him, feel confident that he will make his mark. The doctor is a first- class physioian, else he would not have been selected for the position which he is eminently qualified to M. Washington Sunday Item. Suicide. We learn lrom a gentleman just from Davidson College, that Mr. Anson Withers committed suicide, at that place, on Saturday last, bv shooting h'.uself through the head with a pistol ball, which produced instant death. No ause is yet assigned for this rash act. It is stated that previous to the commission of this fatal deed, he wrote four letters three to private individuals, and one to be read to the public. Our informant did not learn the contents of these letters as he left before the inquest was held. The deceased was about 35 or 40 years of age, and leaves a wife, with no children. The American. Executive Committee. We are in formed that the State Democratic Execu tive Committee has been called to meet at an early day in Raleigh, for the pur pose of defining their position on the Prohibition Crusade movement in North Carolina. Is it possible that these politi cal tramps are going to climb on the fence, and there remain for the next eighteen months ? Poor fellows, they surely must be sore. They got on the fence when "Jams" sold the Western Railroad and now to stay there until the next elec tion in the Fall of 1882, it is hard for God sake send for Vance and J. W. Best of mud cut notoriety. There is no doubt, but that the committee will advise their party to let the bottom fall out of the Prohibition cause and save the Dem ocratic party. What, has became of the great canvass that the Prohibition men were going to make in Wayne county? Let us hear from you or for ever keep silent. The fence is a good place in time of battle ain't it brethren?

Ia our last issue we published an account ot the oldest colored news paper in the State Freedom's Jpur- nal published in New York City in 1828. Read and see what Dr. Wm. Wells Brown one of our ablest writ ers of the day Bays of it. He traces back to 1830 when the National He- former was first published, which was eighteen years before" Frederick Douglass' paper made its appearance and two years after the Freedom's Journal. So we think we are risrht in saying that the Freedom's Jour nal's the oldest colored newspaper. Geo. T. Wassom, Esq.: Your note of the 11th inst., together with the Golds boro Star, came duly to hand and for which you have my thanks. I read with interest the article concern ing the "oldest colored newspaper," be cause it brought up a train of thought in regard to the colored press of the past. I have never seen a copy of Freedom's Journal, of which you make mention, but I have no doubt that it was the first pa per ever published by a colored man in the United States. The National Reformer was first issued in lsM, in Philadelphia. 1 have no knowledge of its first conductors. Wm. Whipper became its editor in 1833, he was an able versatile writer and did good work for us. It was a monthly Magazine. The Mirror of Liberty, a quarterly, was soon after commenced in the City of New York, was published and edited by David Ruggles, a man who has the honor of be ing the first agent ot the Underground Railroad. The Colored American, was established in New York in 1837 by Philip A. Bell and Samuel E. Cornish. These gentlemen edited its conjointly. It afterwards, however passed into the edi torial hands of Charles B. Ray. The next paper was The Mystery, pub lished at Pittsburg, Pa., and edited by Dr. Martin R. Delany, tUs was followed by the Disfranchised American, issued in New York City. Then came the Ram's Horn, published and edited by Stephen Van Ranesellser. On the first of January 1848, Frederick Douglass sent out the first copy of Hie North Star, you will see that this was just twenty years after the publication of Freedom's Jour nal. The issuing of The North Star, was the beginning of a new era in the black man's literature, its editor drew around him a corps of contributors and correspon dents from Europe, as well as all parts of America and the Wes Indies, that made its columns rich with the current news of the world. But the oldest newspaper man of ourrace is Philip A. Bel!, who af ter retiring from the management of the Colored American in 1840, removed to California and established the Pacific Ap peal a weekly newspaper devoted to the interest of the colored man and which did great service for us in that section of the country. Mr. Bell is now editor of The Elevator. He is an original and subtile writer, has fine powers of analysis and often flings the sparkling rays of a vivid imagination over the productions of his pen. He is now above seventy years of age, still vigorous and strong. I have only made mention of the earlier journals conducted by colored men. With in the past twenty years some thirty or forty papers have come into existence most of which have gone out. Yours very truly, Wm. Wells Brown, M. D. Boston, June 17th. Every colored newspaper in North Carolina save one, and that one is neutral, favors prohibition. Is not this significant? Fx. Zions Star says: Hon. Fred Douglass exhausted the subject of the "Color .Line which he contributed to the North American Jleview." That line was here before Mr, Douglass and it will remain here after he is gone unless he carries the colored people away with him MAHONE'S TICKET.
