IMPRESSIONS OF A COLORED MAN.
S. N. Vass, a prominent and in
fluential colored man, late of Raleigh,
but now of Birmingham, Alabama,
who has been in New Orleans where
he had an opportunity to study the
recent race disturbances there, writes
an article to the Raleigh Post under
the head of "My Impressions of the
New Orleans Riot," in which among
other things he savs this:
Finally. I wish to emphasize the
fac t that the colored people have no
ronenn whatever to charge the New
Orleans riot to the American white
people, such as we have in North
Carolina, for it is unjust. The real
white people of that city proiecieu us
in every case.
When a mob there tried to take a
colored man from a street car, the
two white passengers aboard, high
class white men, drove the mob from
the car. and. sending the car on with
its charge, jumped to the ground and
gave battle to the entire gang. Of
course, thev were fearfully beaten.
Cases like this were very numerous.
In fact, I suppose there were as many
whites injured as colored, and all be
cause of their protection of us. In
many cases prominent white mer
chants offered to guard negroes
homes and take them to their own
residences.

lecturing my people I can talk, not
from theory, but facts.

THE LATE C. P. HUNTINGTON.
Referring to the death of C. P.
Huntington, which occurred quite
suddenly last week, the Washiugton
Post says:

THE COUNTRY EDITOR.
Presently we will hear of the re
wards and honors that are to go to
the man whose services to the party
won the magniticent victory. The
workers ought to have the honors for
we believe that "tiie horse that pulls
the plow ought to have the fodder."
Hut when that time conies, we
venture to say that the foremost
workers in this tight were the country
editors. They not only worked as
hard and as effectively as any, but
they spent more money for the party
than any other class of men in the
State in proportion to their ability.
If the Democratic organizations in
North Carolina paid the party papers
for the publication of all appoint
ments and all other notices, the coun
try editors would all have bank ac
counts now. The North Carolina
editors city and country never
think of receiving pay for such pub
lications, but gladly surrender their
columns to the advancement of the
party to which they belong.
All honor to the faithful workers,
who do their work in their humble
sanctums, and who do not receive the
applause and public recognition of
their unselfish labors! Xavs and Ob

The white people are not enemies
of the uegro, but only oppose his
being placed in ollice above them.
The white people will treat the negro
with justice and fairness, and help
him to become a better citizen.
It is pleasing to see the State papers
these days enlarging a good deal upon
the educational value of the amend
ment. This is an earnest that the recent
campaign pledges of the Democratic
party upon this head are not to be
forgotten. Those who know Governor
elect Aycock know that he will not
abate an iota of the zeal upon this
subject that he manifested in the
campaign, but that he will live up to
all the promises that he made the peo
ple. We do not doubt that in this
matter he will have the support of the
Legislature that was elected with
him. We must do more than we have
done for the cause of public educa
tion the badge of illiteracy must be
removed from North Carolina. The
State, every State, owes to every child
in it the opportunity to acquire the
rudiments of an education to oppor
tunity to learn, at public expense, to
read, to write and to cipher. It is
with the child to acquire the rest.
But this is due it and we should not
longer fail iu the discharge of this

Rai.eioh, N. C, August 20. 1U0O.
The chief event of the present week in
Raleiirh. one in which every true North
Carolinian feels a jiersonal and patriotic
interest, is the unveiling ol tne splendid
and life like bronze statue of the immor
tal "Zeb" Vance, "the great commoner,'
and the most lxjloved man of the people
of his State ever raised up among us.
The unveilingceremonies will take place
Wednesday, in Capitol Park, at the Fast
entrance to which and facing the rising
sun, about 50 yards from the Fast front
of the statehouse building, the statue
stands on a native granite pedestal,
which rises through a grass-turfed mound
some thirty feet high in all.
The bronze statue, which is a little
larger than life size, represents the great
Carolinian in an erect attitude, such its he
assumed when addressing the Vice-President
and his colleagues in the United
States Senate with one hand resting
carlessly on a corner of his desk, the other
half outstretched and holding between
his fingers the eye glasses he was accus
tomed to remove while speaking, bring
ing them into use occasionally as he read
from some authority or quoting an ex
tract from the coinage of another's brain.
The attitude is unmistakably that of
Vance as the writer has many times
seen him in the Senate and the features
and facial likeness, "lion mane hair" and
all, are very life-like. In short, the
bronze counterfeit is a splendid one. and
not only in its resemblance to the origi
nal, but the work is first-class and
splendidly executed in every particular.
The statue has been in position for
several weeks, but has been kept veiled
up to this time, of course.
The "veil"' will be removed by .Miss
Fspcy Vance, granddaughter of the
"Governor"" (as North Carolinians were
wont to call him years after he entered
the Senate) and daughter of the late
David Vance, his second son. The latter
married in Louisiana and the young lady
is now a resident of that State, where
she has her home with maternal relatives.
She uvts her first name. 'Fsiiey.' from
her grandmother, the tiovernor's fir
wife, who was a Miss Fspey.

War. and who was. through nearly all

V.VXCK STATI'E AT WASHINGTON'.
When the Legislature meets it ought to

in the national capitol building at ash
ington, where space is provided for the
statues of two of the sons of each of the
States. North Carolina has already too

course a counterfeit of ance should bt

COTTON MUX OI'EKATIVKS AN1 Mil. I
own i: us.
A hot fight Is in progress in Durham,
though an orderly and peaceful one, be
tween the authorities of the Frw in Cot
ton Mills and others and the mill opera
fives.
The disagreement grows entirely out
of the desire of the operatives to "organ
ize" their forces, by joining labor unions,
and several hundred of them ha ve already
done so.
The mill owners are very pronounced
and determined m theiropposition to the
'organization' of laboremployed in their
mills, and tieneral Manager Lrwin noti
tied the employes of his large mill that all
who joined a local labor union would be
discharged; that no members of such
organization will be employed by his
company in the future, and that all who
desire to remain at the Krwin mill must

noiu aiooi ironi an sucn unions, any
who had already joined being required to
withdraw at once or cease work at the
null, at the end of two weeks" notice
agreement existing between the company
and its employees.
This threat, however, has not had the
deterrent effect exacted, and more than
a hundred of the Frwin mill operatives
and about half as many of the I'earl mill's
forces had joined the union up to last
week, and it is stated that many more
are being taken in nearly every niiiht.
Most of these accepted the situation as
presented by the null officials and have
already secured employment at other
nulls, with the expectation of leaving
Durham as soon as the two weeks expire.
in tne otner nand new non-union opera
tives are being booked by the Durham
mills, and the latter say they will be able
to replace all w ho leave without much
trouble.
1 understand this movement for or
ganizing the cotton mill operatives is to
le pushed all over the State. It is also
known that most mill ow ners are very
much opposed to it. and the prospects
are that serious trouble (not in a sense of
anger or physical difficulty, but i-i its in
terference with operations and and busi
ness) will follow. The mill men s chief
objection to the unions is that they cause
"strikes" and engender bad feelingamoiig
the ojiera tives against the mill owners
the result of bad advice by "walking
delegates" from the North. This is the
claim of the mill officials. The local lead
ers among the operatives deny this
(although such conditions obtain in the
North is admitted) and say that the
object is that of mutual aid and protec
tion solely.
It is hoped that a spirit of forbearance
and mutual concession and wise counsel
will prevail, and that no serious rupture
may result in the well known pleasant
and amicable relations that have so long
existed between operatives and officials
in mill circles of North Carolina hereto
fore a fact which has been one of the
chief elements of success in cotton manu
facturing in the South to date.
WOKK FOR THK NEXT LECISI.ATI RE.
Some of the Northern newspapers have
been printing editorial comments on the
"methods" used by the Democrats, and
white people generally, of North Carolina
to carry the recent election and over
throw negro domination, which are cal
culated and probably designed to injure
the State with capitalists and intending
investors. That these editorials have
been ba.-ed upon false and hear-say prem
ises and rumors we all know. But that
detracts little "or nothing from their
ability to injure us among those who
know no letter.
Rut we can ourselves disprove the
charges and offset any bad effects by our
conduct in the future and we must take
care to do that.
Within five months the newly elected
General Assembly will convene. It will
be composed of a fine body of patriotic
and sensible men who love their State
men largely selected for their fitness and
ability. They will have to face a most
important crisis m our history. A iiuni-
ler of extremely important questions will
be presented to them, and it decided wise
ly and discreetly a great tidal wave of in
dustrial prosperity will set in, such as
North Carolinians have never enjoyed or
witnessed before. An opposition pohcy
will just as certainly produce a. contrary
result.

State to-day a strong Democrat and a
man of influence m every relation of lite.

among other things, to me:
"We must, the Legislature must.
through its disposition of these questions,
disabuse prospective investors from with
out our State of two erroneous impres
sions which have largely taken hold of
Northern and Western people, the one
following close on the heels of the other
viz: That we are not a set of wild-eyed,
I'opulistic cranks down in the State ol
Marion Rutler, who hate a man because
lie is rich or has been able to accumulate
wealth by his industry and wisdom, and
disposed to throw him down and take
his w ealth from him and divide it out pro
rata among us all; that we are not the
enemies of capitalists or corporations and
disposed to deal justice to them by the
half measure and to enact or keep upon
the statute books laws which impose
hardships upon all such, w hile we feed
others with another spoon.
"Fqual and exact justice to all, and
special privileges to none, should and I
doubt not will be our motto hereafter;
individuals, firms, companies and cor
porations, all. should be governed by the
same laws, without opposing or favoring
either.
"We must do this, 1 say, and then let
outsiders be informed of it and guarantee
them fair treatment no more, no less
under our laws, and foreign capital will
not shun us to seek investment elsewhere
and leave us in a few years in a financial
and industrial moribound condition,
while our sister Southern States blossom
as the rose with prosperity and progress.
"I happen to know of morethrfnf 100,
000 which would have been invested in
North Carolina several years ago had it
not been for the transfer of the reins of
State government into the hands of the
I'opulistic 'fusion' crowd, with leaders
who largely were bent on making war
on capital and corporations' indiscrimi
nately, solely for demagogic reasons.
Probably millions have been diverted else
where for the self-same reason. We must
get out il that now. We must renounce,
disclaim, throw overboard any and all
such would-be 'leaders who. for selfish
purposes, desire to do aught to commit
the politically newly-lx rn and freed grand
old State longer to any such suicidal
policy. Away with them. Let them
stand from under. For a new life oi in
dustrial and political freedom is march
ing to the front and is bound to crush
under its victorious chariot .'ill such
human impediments and would-be 'lead
ers. to their own undoing. The dema
gogue, in my opinion, will have less show
in North Carolina hereafter than at any
period of our history and it is the most
encouraging fact I see in the bright future
upon which the sun of political and in
dustrial freedom and prosperity is now
rising so brightly and encouragingly.
Let our legislators, as the duly selected
representatives of their State, bear in
mind these words:
" 'To thine own self be true.
And it must follow, as the night the day
Thou cans't not then be false to any man.' "

The nomination of Moody over Pearson
by the Republicans of the Ninth Congres
sional district was a surprise to many.
Democrats say they can defeat Moody as
easily as they could have whipped Pear

had over Pearson on account of the theft
of Crawford's seat is offset by the fact
that .Moody will not have the money

The negro White is making an effort to

nominated him some twelve years ago,
when Orange was a part of this (Fourth)
district, and John Nichols, of Raleigh

The discussion of the question of
whether the "nigger" should lie an
' issue' in the Presidential election con
tinues, and with some feeling on the part
of a number of the papers. An examina
tion of all the exchanges reaching the
office of one of the Raleigh paers. by the
writer during the past week, reveals the
fact that a decided majority take the
ground that the "nigger racket' should
not le revived; that the darkey is dis
posed of iolitieally. and that the hope
that economic and political questions of
breadth and importance to the whole
country could be freely discussed there
after, entertained by so many, may now
be realized and enjoyed. Of course, if the
Republicans attempt to organize and
array the negroes sohdlv again, the con
ditions will change, but at present there
are no indications of this. In fact, a
leading Republican here told me to-day
that would be the last thing the Republi
cans would undertake again, and that he
lielieved not half the negroes would vote,
nnd of those who do many will vote the
Democratic ticket. Others take a differ
ent view and there you are!
There has been for some time a strong

About loO of the Durham "Erwin"

there are 700 in the mill who will take no

of the speeches made by State Ix-cturer
Austin, but was precipitated by an ope

the local union, leaving the mill without
permission, he being discharged upon his
