The 'Colored State Convention
has convened and adjonrned. Hon.
Jno. C. Dancy, of Edgecombe, pre
sided, and Mr. A. S. Richardson?
of Salisbury, was elected Secretary.
The first day's proceedings were
qnite stormy, but after the perma
nent organization was perfected,
and different committees appoint
ed by the chairman, there was a
calm, and businees moved on with
soch intelligence as never before
graced the proceedings of a colored
convention. There were quite a
number of good speeches made
,.g the sitting of the conven
tion, and all tempered by words
for the good of North Carolina and
her people, irrespective of race,
color or previous condition of serv
itude in abort, w believe the
convention was a success and will
result in much good to tbe whole
people of the State. The resolu

H. Harris, and adopted by the
convention, giving encouragement
to the independent movement has
waked up the native, and put the

A SKETCH OF COL. GEO. B. EVER
ETT'S REMARKS BEFORE THE
COLORED CONVENTION, AND HIS
KtiMAKKs ON THE CARS AND
GENERAL CONDUCT IN GOLDS
BORO. have Bocae exporence iu pol
itics, and tbo ' utiSTtaa,n otK-
ingaof tricksters. But the manner
in which the Hon. Geo. B. Everett
.onducted himself at, and in the
eolored State Convention in Golda
boro on 29th ult. is with astoniah
ment to many good people in this
section of the State, where he had
the good fortune toapend bis boy
hood. He said on the cars when
on his way to the Convention
"That he wanted to bo treated as
a colored man in the Convention
ahd that he wanted the colored
men to consider his claims ste
though he was a negro." We are
sorry to note that the manner in
which he acted, it put us more in
tbe mind of a Boss negro at a corn
husking than a white man who
claims to be Revenue Collector of
the 5th Distriot of North Carolina.
He nosed around the Convention
for two days trying to get a chance
to speak, but whether he was a
delegate from Forsytti county, we

regular attendence of tbe proceed
inge of the Convention and shown
a disposition at several times
to speak when the judiciary reso
lution was under discussion, how
ever the evening before the Con
verition adjourned he was permit-
-mI a few minutes to address the
.invention upon the condition of
ttfe colored people in the 5th Rev
et ne District of North Carolina.
He said that he was oppointiut
ed collector of the 5th District
about nine months ago by "jlr.
Garfield?' and that a respectable
colored man by the name of Prof,
Chas. H. MoorS, of Greensboro,
N. 0., had been recommended to
him for a position in his office as
Xclerk and who is a graduate ot
$mERST College, but be f was
afraid" to appoint him to that posi
tion. 1st. Because be had ayonng
man in his office that is the son of
a widow, who wrote 329 on every
street corner in the town of Win
eton, during the last campaign and
that if be should appoint Chas. II
Moore, he was afraid that somo of
bis clerks would steal something
and lay n to jiioore.
2nd. Several distilleries bad been
stopped and others dieolved co
partnership when they learned
iL.i .mm har hoon rernmm Anrl
".Ulttb ucgw
on one of the Distilleries in his
District to force a negro to be store
keeper to a white distillery but the
negro had let the cat out of tbe
wallet, nnd he was forced to em
ploy a white man to satisfy the in
dignant whites that predominated
in his section of the State.
4th. That he requested Chas.
H. Moore to goto Washington D.
0. on his own expences to request
the Secretary of the Treasurer and
President Arthur lo let him re
main in his office, because he was
the only man in tbe 5th District
who had ever shown a disposition
to recognized the true merrit of
the negro.
5th. That ho appointed n color
ed may to a clerkship in bin office
the day before he left Winston at
a salary of one thousand dollars a
year and that he could not find
one in his district and was com
pelled to telegraph to Charlotte on
Saturday in order to gel him in
his oflice ou Monday, bt fore he left
with him to fhr Goldsboio Con
vention on Tuepd&y aioiuiug.
Mr. Everett read Several copies
of letters (he said) Lo had written
to "Geueral Ratim" CommiHMiqner
of Internal Revenue at Washing
ton. He was not atisfied with
reading a certified copy but had
an affidavit as long as his district
sworn to by himself upon the Hol
ly Avanqelcst of the Almighty God,
th-it be did write them in which he
said many sweet things about tl;e
nnrepublican manner iu which the
Federal patronage has been dished
out in North Carolina.
6th. He said again that he was
willing to do auvthings to keep
Keogh, Wheeler and W. P. Cana
day off of his back and would
love the negro in piopotion to the
7th. He said that the Lord would
deliver his enemies into Lis bauds
and quoted at length the verces
of the 12th chapter of St. Maik
'Render unto Caesar, the things
that are Cassai" we sincerly hope
that Mr. Everett will never 'be
persueded again to surrender his
dignaty and follow up a negro
conventionf for we feci for auy
white man, who has nothing more
to do than loafer around a colored
convention especially where he is
not wanted and may the Lord
deliver him hereafter from sueh a
position. R
THE USUAL RESULT.
It is not to be denied that a good sewing
machine is one of the most important
appurtenances of the modern household,
We thought we had a eood macbino in
our household until one day the agent of
the New Home presented himself at onr
door and proceeded to deliver an oration
upon its characteristic merits.
'But, we answeied, "our machine
serves lis nicely and suits us well, and we
do not care for anotber. "
The aeent, however, was persistent,
and hnaily begged the privilege of leav
ing one of his machines with us, "for the
ladies to try."
The request was not unreasonable, so
we granted it but more to oblige (he
agent than anything else; for we really
did not want the machine, and had not
he remotest idea of buying it.
me macnine once in tne nonse, it was
natnral that the ladies should look it over,
They did so, and as a consequence fell in
love with, it. They say that without tbe
slightest wish to decry or diHparge any
other machine, this, all things consid
ered, is, in their opinon, the most de
sirabie one to be had.
The upshot of the whole matter was
that the old machine was disposed of,
ana tne ijioht nunuing New Home in
stalled into our household a very fair
and satisfactory arrangement being made
witn tne agent.
It is pronounced a genuine beauty and
a real comfort, and our folks wanted us
to tell other folks about it.
This unrivalled machine is manufac
tured by JOHNSON, CLARK fe CO., 30

illustrated catalogue and enolose their
