THE SEMI -WEELY MESSENGER Xtwo 8 page papera), by mail, one year, $L00; six months, 50 cents, in advance. 'WILMINGTON. N. C. .WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1898. THIS COHItKSI'ONDliNTS' It' is not too" much to say that a more reputable, discriminating, fair, capable body of newspaper correspon dents never gathered in any centre v than those "who have .lately Visited our - city' during the disturbances . between whites: and ' blades. They; were not - only all thisV but were gentlemen, courteous, cultivated and refined. The Messenger office had Visits from most of : them, perhaps all. This Writer was particularly pleased to form - the ac quaintance of Mr West, the excellent, wide-awake staff, correspondent of the able-Washington Post, certainly second :t to no newspaper of which we know in our country. lie was accompanied by i Mr. NoeJ, the capital corrspoudent -of tha. Richmond .Times, and papers i farther north. These two gentlemen f;Were for days ih advance of the others, ': and their letters to their- respective , newspapers were eagerly read here by 'hundreds, and we doubt not all through the land They made many friends " and will be very cordially . welcomed when they, come again. We had the . good fortune - also to meet-for a few i minutes Mr. Messenger of, the-Wasn-. ington Star and also Mr. Marshall, of i. lhe. good Virginian stock of that name,' andva great grandson . of the great Chief Justice John Marshall. Hie is ex:ellelntly. informed and scholarly. Jle was here, as correspondent of the able Charleston News - and - Courier, v, .We regret we did" not see -more of him. : The last to come is the able Professor Lee, of Johns. 'Hopkins University,' whose studies of .the situation are val-"1 liable as, well as. entertaining. The . Messenger last week copied from the v- Baltimore Sun. his clear ami able com? municatio.ri. upon-the results of negro "-education in' the nrth. It is a paper , ' to be studied.-: Full eighty, per cent, o A -ho"i" negroes in the north who hftve. been more or less educated have poved failures and. are n'on-suppoVtrng. Ed ucation has really made them drones 'and has failed to: tiualifj them, for good- citizenship. Thi Messenger ;of - yesterday had a lettettrom him to th.e Sun that was marked throughout with close observationand a true statement of facts ;as weltas conditions. We also ' met' for a -Jew minutes', Miss Brake, of Washington City, who" is correspon dent ofhe "Toledo Commercial . She .is fine looking and cultured. ' She was : Weir treated while' here. 'We have" not n her letters, and do not know how ihe Asvimpressed 'by what she saw. . We were pleased to- learn from Pro fessor Lee that .he was a native of North .Gafoiina and was educated ast .our '.venerable and' distinguished uni versity of North Carolina. He is a gentleman ofcvior ofmind and accom7 plishments. or he: would not be in the Iaculty. of' Johns Hopkins. , SUG12STKI I1Y MIOFESSOU LEE'S LETTEK. ' The letter-sent from Wilmington on " iath .inst., to .the--'. Baltimore: Sun" by Professor Guy Carletbn Lee, and found In the,Messenger of 15th, is a noticea ble communication relative to the late disturbances and ;the "cause thereof. lie i Atells how th confiding, simple, tumul tuous negroes were stirred up, misled - and ,then abandoned to theft fate by . tlie white scoundrels who . awakened in them false hopes appealed to the worst ' elements in-their debased natures and brought on a short and sharp conflict . with -the whites. ' - ' . 'At Wilson, the negroes 'were. ; exciW by promises and incited-to plans of ileviltry as a. consequence. -.'Fortunately the match applied failed to kindle -the pile-. The. . startling .news from ..: "KYi1mineton suppressed the flames xeady to burst out with -destructive vud- ' lence. How, fortunate ,for all, and - particularly! -for the negroes at 7Wilson. It 'was a preconcerted plan .there and . here ori ttie part .Vof the negroes, savagely inflamed by thite faced- villains and traitors',,. bat' THE WILaiNGTOl LliibbEWtxElt: the game did not end as proposed. Read this from. Professor Lee: "The Wilson negroes had been told that they were strong enotjgh to hare their will-that because they furnished thelabor the'y supported the white people; that they could prevent giving North Carolina and the negro to the democrats, 'your; natural enemies . The negroes were not wholly to blame in their attitude. Their condi tion arouses pity In the; mind of the southerner. 'He sees the great delu sions under which the race labors and is struggling to remove the cause. Negroes' ofrhe south are but clay In the bands of the potter, and the potter car e not what vessel he makes If it wilLaerve his purposes," ' . The supreme editorial asses in the north who think; the are born journal istic Solomons, would do well to give heed to what this calm, clearheaded Professor says. If they really. com prehend the situation they would not be so swift and blind in their censure. They "are simply stupid and infatuated; When the Professor first entered Wilmington he found quiet prevailing armed quiet, so to speak and biit one sentiment a government of white men and by white men an for white menK He seems ; to have ebon caught on to the status of Governor Russell with all genuine North Carolinians. They are. "awfully" weary we use jthe word of the' girls ibf the rule of this unfriendly and incapable official, and long to be relieved of hjs ponderous incubus. The able professor writes: ( "No one has a good word for this man, whose acts are condemned as bitterly and as justly as were those of his predecessors in action the Officials of the 'carpet-bag regime.' " iWlfat he says of the "errors-of over kindness" not; too strong. The les son given -has: been rude but. impres sive. The' whites absolutely dreaded the outcome, 'deplored the prospect of armed conflict, and1 by steady vigorous preparation at -.much expenditure of money sought to avert so great a calam ity as -a racial conflict. There is a cer tainty that the almost unvarying kind ness and symp'athy of the whites have been .misleading: and unfortunate. Said one of eur' influential citizens who met the men of the. north in'.batr tie, to us. a few days ago as we were discussing the negro character: , "My father-told. me after the war, , whatever you do be sure not to favor the negro. Give "him work but not charity. Make him feel . his responsibility as 'a man and citizen, and compel him to work out'his own destiny." Wise words and most, timely Nothing has been more mistaken than :to grant s gratuitous favors to the - negroes. .They felt no gratitude for your favors while leaning on: you ;for help. So we give one-more extract from the Professor: i' ' . . V-."- :' :t x : . ' - - ''!' "The stern - treatment of the dis turbances . hereis, but the first lesson in a long course Ton' which the negro is now entering a-course not of coer cion, noof- abuse, not of oppression, but of lelpful' kindness, exact justice, of firm and wise control. V , The white man 'realizes, that errprs have been made i in the . treatment . of the negre problem. The negro admits it, but these errors are errors of over kindness.of tbo Lmuch, coddling,- too much help and not of too much. force." i The -whites ' wiljcertiiinly. treat the negroes fairly, "kindlyC affording them protection. -They are- not nowand haveever been .their enemies. If they, had been jithe latter ! there would have been l',0Q0 dead negroes in Wil mington in the late riot .that was in spired by and precipitated by negroes. There is one : thing that cai easily dis turb 'the -peace now incendiarism. AFRAID. i i We clip the following from the Rich mond (Va.) Times. It seems one of the fled negro preachers has turned up begging in Richmond, , a staunch dem ocratic city. - Hence he masquerades as a "democrat" Who had been "driven - , away from North Carolina because he was ir democrat."- If he is one of the escap"ed; jiegro preacners of this city pne of the rascals who bellowed about the . Rattlesnake t villainous editorial and said they would sustain the vile sheet" and theUnfernal slander at "the risk of their lives," he, is a fraud. NQne of the gang of enemies and con spirators was a democrat. ; Here is clipping:' . DEMOCRATIC NEGRO. iuayor layior naa a call yeaaeraay m the person of a negro Bapust preacher from Wilmington, N.

It lis further noticeable that near ly .all the white radicals who have been factors Jfor evil and enemies of the rhites have" been of the : norths-were sot "native here and to the manner bora," l Did yoa, read the scoundrel Manly 's lie. He kqows he ts deliberately; lying when he said .that hi Rattlesnake edl torial had been misquoted, mutilated, etc." The Messenger was the first paper in North Carolina to publish it and comment upon it. It was not !a week after U .appeared as stated The rea son the whites did not fire up j sooner was because' decent whites never saw it. This writer never handled a copy in his life. If he . had to handle such yirfous trash he would handle it with tongs. j Manly's health- will be?- better among the negrophllists In yankee-' doodledom than. In North CarpIIna: The atmosphere of Wilmington would prove highly deterious to his- well being. Manly ought to change his stop dying. I , i " skin -and If the republicansigenerally are talk ing around the tate as they are talk ing in Raleigh it would indeed seem that henceforth negro Importance as a political factor is "clean gdne fprever." If all parties are agreed as to the ne cessity of dropping him out altogether as a .constituent in; politics -in-North Carolina then the end has come to - . mm them as disturbers .2 of the peace and as instruinpnts of evil jin distressing and oppressing the white race. .But we are rather doubtful of all that isvsaid, It is very certaln;that the "occupation" of - the Butlers and. Russell's and Dockerys and Holtons and Pearsons and; Cooks; and the carpet baggers will "be gone" if the negroes are really eliminated from the political campaigns 'hereafter. The remedy is well known to lie in an educational test like several southern states now have. ;.:. : A negro Methodist -paper at Charlotte publishes a letter from a negro preach er up 'north abusing us. We clare no more for the vaporings and abuse of such a hound than we do for the! bark ing of a fice dog. through the palings. We pity such fools while, despising their vile expectorations. We apologize to our readers for saying this much.. liYING A FINE ART. ! The northern editors are given over to error and imagine a vain thing, andi make falsehood a - fine art. We .told a venerable friend that the northern press was abusing and slandering the people of Wilmington. The reply was, and.it will .find an echo of sympathy and approval in many a heart: i. "I am not caring a cent. The older I grow themore I hate 'emV They are cer tainly given over to delusion and a. lie and to ignorance, the cock-sure edi tors of the north. In 1866, the! north tried to put the south forever under the rule and power of fthe negro, and its organs are warming up in. abuse and misrepresentation, l and , are very, mad becausethey can not keep North Caro- Una still' under the'negro rule in 1898.
