WE PRESS THE BUTTON.'
What an Eye Witness Saw In a Re
publican Convention.
At the Crven county republican
convention, held in this city a few
weeks ago for the purpose of nominat
ing a county ticket, there was every
where, in all the different stages of the
proceedings, a noticeable sense of tri
umph among the negro delegates, who
greatly outnumbered the whites.
The negro felt his superiority in
numbers, and in number he recognized
the fact of power to dictate to his
white republican brother.
This sense of superiority was well
shown and expressed in the really no
table speech of the convention, made
by the assistant in the register of deeds
office, a colored man by the name of
Wetherington .
This office-holder showed a persist
ance in advocating the negro for
every office that was worthy of his
race, and his every speech, and they
were' numerous, were hot enough for
the most pronounced negro in the con
vention who was seeking for office.
In his speech Wetherington, rising
to the time and occasion, was eloquent
in depicting the progress of the negro
getting office, and finally in a burst of
triumph he exclaimed, with dramatic
action suited to express each sentence,
"in 1896, we pressed the button and
behold John B. Willis, register of
deeds, came forth! Again we press
the button and Robert Moseley, county
commissioner, came forth! We pressed
the button and deputy sheriffs came
forth! We pressed the button and
magistrates came forth!"
"And now in this convention we
have again pressed the button, and
behold C. C. Roach, for county treas
urer, is before us, what shall the future
give to us?"
Truly this picture painting of the
negro possibilities, as an office-holder,
must have been pleasing to white re
publicans of Craven county, who were
limited to two nominations, the sher
iff's and clerk of court's, and these
were only given by the candidates
pledging to fill every position in their
offices with negroes.
It is no surprise that white republi
cans are alarmed over their position.
Today it is untenable so far as office
getting goes, for the negro is a perse
vering "button pusher," and the white
office-seeker in the republican party,
while today he may be granted a few
favors, in way of office, by his friend,
the negro, yet the "button pushing"
clearly indicates that he cannot much
longer expect to be granted any fa
vors. "We press the button and behold"
how long must this be endured? Can
even republicans, white republicans,
continue to place themselves under the
political domination of the negro?

NOTES FROM HIQH POINT.
The Local News From Our Neighbor
Briefly Told.
Telegram Bureau, 1
High Point. N. C, Sept. 6, '98.
The regular monthly meeting of the
board of aldermen was held last night
in the mayor's office and several or
dinances were passed, but as we could
not see the minutes today we cannot
give a detailed account of the busi
ness transacted. Among the new or
dinances passed were two that we, in
behalf of the many citizens interested,
desire to thank the board for. The
Telegram and Enterprise have spoken
many times about the many hitohing
posts on Main street that are a nui
sance in the true sense of the word.
We beg to inform our readers that
all hitching posts on Main street be
tween English street and Manchester
avenue will be removed immediately.
Another ordinance passed was one
that we alone made particular mention
of a few weeks since as a nuisance that
could by no means benefit anyone and
on the other hand damage many.
That is the dumping of all old rub
bish of every description into the
street. This will be -stopped immedi
ately we are glad to state. We are
very confident that the bicyclists of the
city will be far more grateful to our
board of aldermen for the passing of
this ordinance than for any law. they
have as yet enacted.

owned by J. C. Welch was driven to
death by a party of this place. These
two cases cause us to wonder why the
law forbidding cruelty to animals is
not enforced, or where are the white

following letter which speairs for it
self: Chase City, Va., Sept. 1, 1898
Mr. J. S. Manning, Chairman of the
Judicial Committee, Durham, N. C:
Dear Sir: Appreciating to the
highest degree the honor of the nomi
nation by the democratic party for the
office of solicitor of the Fifth district,
and realizing the utmost importance
of a thorough canvass of the district,
and my own physical inability to
make it, I now, through you resign
Ohe nomination with the greatest re
gret. The office requires for the per
formance of its duties considerable
physical strength. I am now at Chase
City to get rest and recuperate my
strength. The few speeches I have
made convince me of my physical in
ability. to go further in the canvass
and cast a doubt in my mind of my
strength to perform the duties of the
office if elected.
Assuring you and the committee of
my highest regards, I remain.
Yours faithfully,
R. B. Boone.
The committee will meet on Friday
of this week to take action in regard

is so common that it takes something

secret of ours is that we are careful to

little girl was brought me who could
not see a letter four inches square
acros s a small room and yet she was
compelled to work by the side of a
child who could see clearly a letter i
inch square the same distance. If your
child has been showing signs of weak
or defective eyes they may be a great
deal worse than you have any idea.
Better bring her in and have her eyes
looked after before school begins.
