Will Greensboro Seize This Opportunity to Rank Among the First Towns in the State, or Will She Longer be Content to Occupy Second Place? At a called meeting of the Industrial and Immigration Association, held on Thursday, September 1,5, a committee was appointed to prepare the following statement, which was presented to the board of aldermen the following night : "The Industrial and Immigration Association, believing that the best inter ests of Greensboro demand an electric street car system, electric power for manufacturing, and a more complete system of electric lights, furnishing not only arc lights for the streets, but also incandescent lights for residences, stores and offices, and knowing that our present lighting contract expires on January 1, 1899, ard learning further that the board of aldermen is consider ing the matter of closing at an early date a new contract for lighting the streets, desires to urge your honorable body not to enter into any contract with aDy party or parties until every possible effort shall have been made to secure an electric system that shall furnish to our city : "1. Street lights. '2. Incandescent lights for stores, offices and residences. "3. Convenient electric power for small manufacturing enterprises. "4. A street car system." After some discussion the board of aldermen unanimously passed the follow ing resolution : "Resolved by the board of aldermen of the city of Greensboro, N. C, That it is the sense of the board that it would be for the best interest of the city to give its contract for lighting the streets to a person or persons or corporation who will, besides lighting the streets, furnish power for factories, put in incan descent merchantable lights, and establish and maintain a street car system, and that bids to this end be invited; and further, that a committee of three be appointed by the mayor to investigate the matter, and to act with a like com mittee from the I. & I. Association." We believe the board of aldermen voiced the sentiment and wishes of the people of Greensboro., This city needs price of merchantable lights to place her Raleigh, and Wilmington, the opinion of the New York party, as quoted in the Daily Record, yesterday, to the contrary notwithstanding. Greensboro peo ple are, perhaps, better judges of what is - best for the city than a man who never saw the city. We are not called upon to judge Greensboro by New York, Burlington or Reidsville ( and we most certainly mean no discourtesy to the two latter towns ), but a fairer test i a comparison between this place and those of like popula tion and other advantages which already have street cars. Ask any of them you choose whether street cars have been beneficial or not and we are willing to accept their answers as a verdict. The idea that people will move out of we do not believe will work. No sensible business man, we believe, would desert his home in town and move outside, at least not until he had sold his inside property to some one else. And will it be argued that the man who pur chases this property will have the house stood ? No, property in town will not be turned out to grass. And suppose the town should grow at an early date to fifty thousand population, it would be absolutely necessary for some residence lots to be given up for business sites. A street car line would, also make the city more desirable as a manufacturing center. It would give quick transportation from tae suouros, wnera lactones are and will be located. Again it is argued that when the town to build streets. From the present manner of building streets that sounds like a joke. But, seriously , the city would be streets for the benefit of a man's property paying taxes. We believe in city ownership of the of the electric light plant means that we will have street cars, and thus be for years deprived of one of the greatest helps in building a city, as we see it, we are opposed to it. Much of the future growth and prosperity of the city of Greensboro and her institutions depends upon the action of THE NEGRO PROBLEM. What Senator Caffery Says Will Be Done With Them. Washington, D. C, Nov. 18 Sena tor Caffery tonight, commenting on the race troubles in North and South Car olina, said to a representative of the Post that he considered the solution of the negro question one of the most vi tal to the interests of this republic. In the south, he said, the negro is now controlled either by law or fraud, and it would not be more than two de cades before the herculean task of de porting him to some other country would confront the law-makers. In controlling him by fraud the white peo ple of the south had necessarily weak ened their ideas of a republican form of government. And if it were neces sary to the establishment of a monar chy to control the negro and to insure white supremacy, and the alternative was presented of negro domination or monarchial rule, then the white people would choose the latter. "I have been reared and still live," he said, "among the negroes. They have increased from six millions be fore the war to twelve millions now, and in two decades they will have in creased to twenty million souls. "They are aggressive, and their sole and constant desire is social equality with the whites. "This the white man will not, and ought not, to permit. We have had samples of their aggressiveness -within the last few weeks. Owing to their habits, it costs them less to live than it does the white man, as their wants are fewer. They have underbid the miners in Illinois, and caused a riot resulting in the loss of a number of lives; their domination in Wilming ton, N. C, has resulted in a riot, the result of which is fresh in the public a street car line and a reduction in alongside of Charlotte, Winston, town to avoid taxes, etc., is a theory moved and desert the lot on which it spreads out it will cost so much more under no earthly obligations to build who had moved out of town to avoid waterworks; but when the city ownership have got to build a big city before we the board of aldermen in this matter. memory. The action of the negro im mune regiments in Alabama and in Cuba alike demonstrate their aggres siveness without demonstrating- any intelligence. All of which shows to my mind that they cannot become a part and parcel of. our homogenous people. "As they increase and multiply they will invade the north, and then it will be that the demand for their deporta tion will be made." Card From Capt. Forbis. Mr. Editor ; While I appreciate your compliment) paid me on the day after the election (in the court house), I wish to correct an error you made in regarcTto going home.

I stand square on the people's party platform, and expect to remain there. J. W. Forbis.

CONGRESS MAY BE ASKED FOR AID Col. Turk Returned to Washington The President May Not Announce Southern Appointments Soon. Special to tbe Telegram Washington, Nov. 19 The various committees of the Industrial Labor Commission having been appointed, it will not be very many days before the commissioners get down to hard work. Mr. C. J. Harris, of North Carolina, a member of the commission was seen yesterday at the committee rooms of of the sub-commission on transporta tion, of which he is a member, at the Bliss building, and he 'Stated that the work assigned to the members of the commission is very important, and that they are anxious to get at the ac tual work of investigating in the dif ferent branches of labor as Boon as is possible. The Committee on transportation held a session Friday, and it was not long before the members were thor oughly engrossed in the work before them. It has been decided to ask for an interview first with the Interstate Commerce Commission, and it is likely this will be granted next week. Mr. Harris stated that it is proposed to obtain their views regarding the in-) quiry relating to labor and railroads a&d also that the various labor or ganizations existing among railroad men would be heard in reference to the subject of transportation and other questions affecting the railways of the country. Senator Daniels, of Virginia, who has been constant in his attendance upon the sessions of the commission regards the work to be done as of the utmost importance to the laboring world. The Senator will engage as actively in the work of the commission during the present congress as his senatorial duties will permit him. Senator Mallory, of Florida, who is one of the prominent leaders in the work assigned to the commission has been assigned to the sub commission on transportation. The Senator, like his colleague from Virginia, is consid erably interested iu labor problems, and regards the work of the commis sion as of the greatest importance to laboring men. It is regarded as probable by some of the members of the commission that, later on it may become necessary to ask congress to pass an act extending the scope of the investigations to be conducted, but if this is done it will probably not be before the meeting of the fifty-sixth congress. An announcement has been made which is of considerable interest to a large number of southern people. It is to the effect that the .well known firm of H. C. Wright, and company, of Richmond, Va., have been awarded the contract for the extention of the Atlantic Coast line railroad from Barnwell to Robbins, S. C. It is said that the company was given the con tract from the fact that they were the lowest bidders for thd construction of the extension of the line. At the office of the Atlantic coast line in this city no information could be obtained upon the subject, but as the information comes from a reliable source it is not doubted. Mr. W. A. Turk, the popular gen eral passenger agent of the Southern Railway, has returned to Washington from a trip south. Mr. Turkwentasfar as Raleigh, North Carolina, on busi ness in relationtotheSouthern. He re turned to the city on the Southern train reaching here yesterday morn ing. It is stated at the white house that President McKinley will not announce very-many, if any, southern appoint ments until after the assembling of congress. There are a number of post offices to be filled in the south, inclu ding several in North and South Car olina. There are but very few impor tant postoffices remaining to be filled in Virginia. All of the principal post offices in the state, including Norfolk, Richmond, Roanoke, and Lynchburg, having been filled . Don't Get Left.
