fHE SEMI-WEEKLY MESSENGER: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1893. DEATH OF A MOST USEFUL AND WORTHY CITIZEN. "We saw a few days ago a three line notice of the death of Colonel W. J. Green, of Franklin county. We thought it was intended forXJolonel W. F. Green, one of the besTmen in all that northern section of iae state. It turns out as we feared. He died on 10th inst, at his farm in Franklin county. He had gone out where some of his hands were at work, and on his return home death suddenly met him In the way and when found life was extinct. Mr. T. K. Bruner writes in Raleigh News-Observer: "The barking of a little pet dog at tracted the attention of some one about the house when upon investigation the lifeless body of Colonel Green was found reclining on the grass in a nat ural position. The body was still warm, and he had evidently lain down as the end came. Thus peacefully and almost painlessly passed away this good man. I must leave for others the presen tation of his eminent public services as a soldier of the confederate war. At the end of the bitter strife he beat his sword into a pruning hook and spent his remaining years in the pursuit of peace upon his farm." We have haa the pleasure of an ac quaintance with Colonel "Furney" Green, as he was best known, since about 1854. We have known but few men of such an elevated character. He had good abilities, capital judg ment, was well read and thoughtful, of highest ideals, soundest integrity and purest convictions a gentlemanly, re fined, sincere man, a Christian in its high sense (a Mehodist) and every inch a patriot. We held him since the first time we met him at Louisburg more than forty years ago, in high es teem for his manly, perpendicular, no ble character, his superior intelligence, his gentleness and kindness and un common worth. Mr. Bruner writes of him: "My acquaintance with him began when I came to Raleigh in December, 1886, to serve the state board of agri culture as its secretary. Colonel Green was then a member of the executive committee in which was vested the most important and exacting respon sibility. It 18S9 he became chairman of the board and ex-offlcio, chairman of the executive committee, in which capacity he served until the political upheaval of 1806, when he retired; the democratic board giving place to the political party now in power. During all these years it was the pleasure of the writer to know him well. His pure and lofty character was type of the old school gentleman. ourtliness, honesty, integrity and a ) oad patriotism blended with his ; ntle Christian life made him a most ' vable man. lie was deeply sincere . i hi3 efforts to advance the true in erests of the farming population of the state." "Like all the members of that board, he loved North Carolina and stood ever ready to advance every movement loooking to the upbuilding of all the state's best interests. He was so gen tle, considerate and forbearing. His faith in God and Christianity was pro found. He lived up to his religion, and all his acts seemed to have been measured by that brotherly love which is all charity." As a soldier he bore himself ever faithful, true and brave. As a citizen he met every responsibility. As a Christian he tried humbly to live the Christ-life. North Carolina is indeed bereaved. His many warm friends and associates will sorrow at the departure of this good and most noble man, but will rejoice that he has left the transi toriness of earth to enter upon the un ending joys and rest of heaven. When the great reaper death came to reap In his field it found the sheaf ready for the garner of the skies. The editorial in the News-Observer is brief but com prehensive and just. We give it: "In the death of Colonel W. F. Green of Franklin county, the sta,te has lost one of its first sons. He was an ac complished scholar, an orator of parts, and was equipped to fill the highest stations in public life. He preferred the peace and quiet of the life of a farmer to the distractions -and exac tions of politics. He was a patriot, a Christian, a model citizen. It was his own love of private life that prevented his winning high place in the service of his state." Colonel Green was a member of the bar, but after the war, we believe, he did not resume his practice, preferring the calm, delightful life of the educa ted farmer. We are glad we ever knew "Furney" Green. IIOTIE FOLKS if Wilson county democrats put an ex cellent ticket in the field. That able ex-jurist and capital gentleman, Judge Connor, is for the senate. He is one of the honest, most reliable, most con scientious of men. It is an excellent indication when you see men of high moral and good abilities nomina ted once more in North Carolina for the legislature. Let them one and all be elected. White folks see to it. That abuser of his betters and slan derer of the white men, one ex-Judge Adams now black radical candidate (of the niggers and all) for the United States house, is trying to conciliate the nolitical and personal friends of Tom Settle, whom he defeated, we believe, by one vote for the nomination, after deceiving him as to his purposes in regard to the nomination for the con gress, as we have seen stated in an exchange. The Raleigh News-Observer is doing effective work with its pictures. The cartoon in Sunday's paper represents Holton at black radical headquarters touching the button.andCy Thompson rushing to his help with full purpose to put trusts and negro rule upon the people for all time. Holton says he can win as democrats and pops are fighting each other. That is the game and Thompson is playing his wicked part. But the democrats have got the "dead drop" on the nimble secretary of state. In Pitt county the populists nominat ed one J. T. Phillips for the legisla ture. The Raleigh News-Observer says: "Now the Rev. Phillips was a mem ber of the legislature of 1896 and re sided among us some three months, as a reference to the records ofvthe police court here and the accounts of local barkeepers will show. Many a time during his Solonic ca reer here did the Pitt preacher dis grace himself and his constituents by getting on a protracted drunk and ap pearing in public in that condition. His duties as a representative were neglected and his conduct became a public scandal." Dr. Stockard is to be tried for ab senting himself from duty as surgeon to canvass for the black republicans. Officers and men will swear to the charges against him. Cy Thompson "orates" in a bragging vein that the Russell administration is a sober one, and tries to make it ap pear by inuendo that democratic ad ministrations were not "sober" ones. It seems that Thompson's charges prove something of a boomerang and hit his own pate. The Raleigh News Observer of 18th gives this: "He has asserted that the present administration is a sober one, pretty muchly. That the only member of the cabinet who loved his tipple and went off on a toot is the Rev. Hallelujah Whangdoodle Ayer, State Auditor. But the Doctor, it seems, was simply ex ercising his vocal organs through his hat. And even while the Doctor was telling the people of Concord about the sins of the dead and praising heaven that he was not as other men, his chickens were coming home to roost. At that very moment his chief clerk was behind his desk, so deep in his cups that he knew not his right hand from his left. And even before and since he's kept it up with beautiful reg ularity." The picture of Isaac H. Smith, the black radical negro candidate for the legislature in Craven county, as Mr. Jennett gives it in Raleigh News-Observer, reminds one of Governer Dan in his physiognomy. This fine nigger candidate is the very man to repre sent the genuine nigger party. He has been twice convicted of forgery, and how many hundreds of times he has stolen are not down in the court re cords. There is "eternal fitness of things" in that nominee and his gang. The venerable ex-Governor Curtis H. Brogden, of Wayne county, now, we suppose, quite seventy-five years of age or more, appears in the Golds boro Argus in a letter dated 12th Sep tember, 1898, in which he declares squarely for white supremacy in North Carolina. He has been a republican for more than thirty years. His re pudiation of the gang of incapables is significant and highly creditable to his sense of right and self-respect. Governor Russell's "rice-farm" bus iness is bothering him no little, and subjects him to adverse criticism. Dan is constantly managing to get in "warm water," and sometimes even hissing hot water. EDITORIAL CAMPAIGN POINTS. The legislature must be carried by the democrats if there are to be re forms for North Carolina and a cessa tion of negro rule, bringing freedom once more to the white folks. All bad, iniquitous laws must be repealed. The legislature is the only rody that can bring back peace, prosperity, hope and happiness to the white people. Nominate the very best men in every county men who command the re spect, , confidence and support of the people. Put honest men only on guard. Aim this year to bring out the 33,000 whites who never vote, never go to the election precincts. There is the right place to work night and "day for the deliverance of North Carolina from ruinous, unequal, corrupt, degrading black radical rule. Let every decent,self respecting pop ulist be cordially invited to co-operate with the democrats this year in res cuing the state from barbaric rule. Let all men with genuine white skins and who are not ashamed of it, be urged to give their needed help in this struggle for a White Man's govern ment. Come up to the help of those who are fighting vandalic rule and ne gro mastery. Remember that the democratic party is in no sense, however remote, respon sible in the least degree for the bad laws in. force that put negroes in con trol of schools and public offices in North Carolina. Think of ninety black ofiicials in thi3 county, New Hanover, and help to bring deliverance and salvation to the whites now in negro bondage. Let every patriot, eyery true white man come up now to the help of the dis tressed, the oppressed. New Hanover is indeed bad off and Wilmington is worse oft by a very great deal than several towns in Black Man's Africa, for there tne few whites now boss and govern, while here it is Sambo and Pompey and Cuffee wih their dozen or two white helpers and henchmen. It is a positive humilia tion and disgrace upon the city and an outrage upon the very name of civ ilization and enlightened government. Save the mark! What a biting irony of fate. Pay no attention to lies of the liars who to shift responsibility and avoid disgrace if possible attempt to make it appear that the white men j the democrats caused negroes to boss Wilmington, Newbern, Greenville and other towns to their great distress, humiliation and disgust Every man outside of the penitentiary or the in sane asylum knows that but for fusion there would have been no black rule and white slavery in North Carolina. The facile, supericeable liars know it when they mouth to the contrary. Every high-minded, intelligent pop ulist is bound to sympathize with the white men in their great effort to save North Carolina from further detriment. Every high-minded, honorable, self respecting populist should help his democratic neighbors in striking for freedom and good government. DEATIIOF DR. JOHN HALL. Rev. Dr. John Hall, the eminent pas tor for thirty one years of Fifth Pres byterian church, New York city, died suddenly at Bangor, Ireland, on 17th inst. He was seriously ill for two days from heart trouble. It is said that re cent annoyances as to his congregation hastened the end. His health failed after the Session accepted his resigna tion which the congregation would not receive. He was a famous preacher. His congregation was large, 2,400. He was 6 feet 3 inches tall, of large bulk, was a prodigious worker, a preacher of force and learning, and was a very useful minister. He was born in coun ty Armagh, Ireland, on 31st July 1829, and was, therefore in his 69th year. He was of Scotch parentage. The New York World says of him: "Dr. Hall's fame was won in New York by the force of his character, his good work among the members of his congregation, his many charities and his interest in public affairs, although he took no active part in them. No church in America has contrib uted such large sums to missionary, educational and charitable work as the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church. The voluntary contributions averaged $200,000 a year for many years. It has long been a social and religious centre, and it includes in its membership men of enormous influence. The aggregate wealth of the members of the church has been estimated at $400,000,000." He had collegiate and theological ed ucation and was licensed to preach in 1849. He received a great salary a fine house and $15,000 a year. He came to this country in 1866, as a delegate, and preached in several pulpits, among them the Fifth Presbyterian. The World says that the stalwart Irish man made a profound impression upon the members of the congrgation, par ticularly upon Robert Bonner, one of the richest and most influential. Shortly after Dr. Hall's return to Dub lin he received an urgent call by cable to take charge of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church. He ascepted,and assumed the duties of his new position in November, 1867. His salary was then $10,000, the largest paid to any minister in this country. It was after ward increased to $15,000. His church building cost largely over $1,000,000. He was an author of note. Raleigh News and Observer: Hills boro, N. C, September 17. (Special.) The republican county convention was largely attended here today. "Resolv ed, 2nd, That we pledge the support of the republican party of Orange county to the Hon. Spencer B.

In excusing their meanness, the fus ion leaders point out alleged instances of Democrats putting negroes in office. If there are a few such instances they were not obnoxious negroes, even though no such instances should have occurred. However, every man of sense and observation knows that in North Carolina Democracy trium phant means the rule of the white man while fusion success is the triumph of the negro. White people rejoice over a Democratic victory, while negroes rejoice over a fusion victory. The bulk of the negroes are in the fusion party, while the bulk of the white peo ple are in the Democratic party. Kln ston Free Press. Can we wonder, after this vile and slanderous abuse of white womanhood that this very crime has again been committed within our own borders and the "big, black, burly brute" sat isfying his lust because his crime has a champion in the press and ministry of his party and race. As truly as in the dark days of '69 does crime and misrule follow republican or negro domination. With the creatures of his own vote in office the negro is promised protection and is bold and insolent in the exercise of his fancied rights and privileges. He expects and fmd3 the administration of justice a shield to his lawlessness rather than a protection to his rights. The alarm ing increase of crime in our state was foretold, it is a legitimate result of our state's present political condition. Snow Hill Standard. We have addressed this article to white men, in keeping with the appeal which our democratic state committee makes under its wise plan of cam paign. Really the matter concerns those of onr colored voters who are not office seekers in very great de gree also; but long experience has taught the democratic party that it has nothing to hope from them. It is they who have drawn the color line, voting solidly against their white neighbors and benefactors in every election of moment And yet we take occasion to say here, what we have so often said before, that the democratic whites bear nothing but kindly feel ings to the colored race, and intend, if work will accomplish it, to save them from themselves and their de signing white and black leaders by restoring that just rule of the superior race under which both races enjoyed their greatest prosperity. Fayette ville Observer. Hello, this wont do! Says a Hono lulu telegram: "The territorial form is adopted as being in accordance with American thought and tradition and gradually preparing for statehood and extension of the municipal idea; or, in other words, local self-government is adopted as affording a means of re stricting the suffrage so that there will be a certainty that the whites will rule. This restriction is a precaution against the Japanese, who are already the largest element of the popula tion." "A certainty " that the whites will rule." Nice language for a re publican commission working under a republican administration. Why should Hawaii be thus favored when North Carolina is not? Many Japa nese are more capable of self govern ment than is the average North Caro lina negro. And if negro rule is a good thing in the south, why are r r the mildly colored brethren to be al lowed to vote in Hawaii? It appears that the republican party is in favor of universal suffrage sometimes, and then again not. Asheville Citizen. The indignation of the white people of North Carolina on account of the editorial which recently appeared in a negro paper printed in Wilmington is intense. But for the fact that the black race has become emboldened by the present Russell-Butler administra tion no such article would ever have appeared. It is hardly fit for publica tion, but we feel impelled to reproduce a part of it that the people may be in formed of the dangers into which they are drifting as a result of the ex isting political conditions in this state. The portion especially important is the following paragraph: When white men controlled the state govern ment, white men who were not depen dent upon the suffrage of ignorant and vicious negroes, nothing of the sort occurred. It would not have occurred if the government of such men had been continued to the present time. You cannot sow the wind without reap ing the whirlwind. The negro cannot be elevated to positions above the white man without his coming to feel himself the equal of the white man, and to resent the fact that the white man does not so consider him. Mor ganton Herald. The charge Is orten times made by bitter partisans that those who are al ways advocating the supremacy of the Anglo Saxon race are actuated by pure ly political and race prejudice. But such a charge is both cruel and un just, and comes in bad taste from all those who feel inclined to make such a terrible charge. In the first place it can oe demonstrated with mathemati cal certainty that the Anglo Saxon man is free from hatred and race pre judice than any other type of man. In fact it would be a real compromise of dignity and self respect for any true Anglo Saxon man to feel conscious of race hatred or prejudice. God him self has placed the Anglo Saxon man upon the very highest pinnacle of the temple and he can afford to look down with feelings of extreme tenderness and sympathy upon his fellow men of low degree who were never expected to occupy exactly, his position of honor and responsibility. All history attests the fact that the Anglo Saxon man is the great inventor, the powerful pio neer and promoter of all grand move ments to civilize the world. He knows how to construct navies and fight suc cessful battles and treat fallen foes more like honored guests than pioneers of war. History also attests the fact that the Anglo Saxon was born to rule, and for him to be placed under the au- , thority and administration of an infe rior race would be considered a great calamity and a sad reversion of the very laws of nature.
