"""" - v ' ; ' -I X ' . $i -i" 'x J - ) KITCHIH'S SPEECH. He Delights a Great Gathering of White Men by His Able and Sat isfactory Explanation of the Amendment. : On Saturday afternoon Hon. Claude Kitchin made a grand speech in the court bouse in iunston to a large audience. He began by expressing gratitude to Lenoir county for the "support it gave him at the Goldsboro convention. He said be did not come to win the applause oi tne people but to reach their reason. Mr. Kitchin said if there was not even one negro in the State, the Democrats could still consistently ask for power on the grounds of honesty and economy. The fusionists denounced the Democrats for alleged extravagant legislation, yet when tbeygotin power the fusionists spent 915,000 a year more than bad the Dem ocrats, besides the penitentiary misman agement, that cost the State 9100,000. under Leiuocratic rule lor 22 rears there was only one scandal that of Dr. tmssom, of the insane asylum. And Dr. Grissom had been a life long Republican. but had been retained by Democrats, be cause Republicans said be was compe tent, and Democrats desired to run the charitable institutions on a non-partisan basis. . :'..y Under the four years of fusion rule the scanaais could not be counted on your nngers. prominent ones being the Bob Hancock scandal, the Kirby Smith scan dal, Butler accusing Pritchard of buying nis way back to the senate, the peniten tiary scandals, etc. A few negroes were present and Mr. Kitchin addressed a few remarks to them. He told them that the genuine white men bad nothing against them and were their friends had built their schools and asylums, and belped build their churches. The white men are will ling to give them rights on the highways, in the fields and shops, but the right for them to rule this country will not be given or submitted to. (Great applause.) The negro is a smart politician. He bribes the disgruntled white man with office, thus controlling such office and having some of his race appointed flseiafr ants. Mr. Kitchin told about a negro in his 4 i a , in - tt l j county who went to his office. He asked the negro if be didn't have more respect lor tne true wnice man wno stood up and fought for the white party.' The negro replied in the affirmative. Mr, Kitchin then asked why be didn t vote for the white man for whom - be had respect. The negro replied: "I tells yer, Marse Claude, I loves my color and must stick ter it, an' de white Publikin am more like us niggers don you white Dem ocrats is." Mr. Kitchin asked the white PoDulist and Republican to go home, if they dared, and tell their wives' and children what tliis truthful old darkey said; that the reason negroes vote for you is that they say you are more like negroes than are Democrats. Mr. Kitchin told in detail and with uuuu euwt ui luo many neirroes BU-1 v -re a. - .L. - oointed to office durimr the fonF vears ofl fusion rale in Worth Carolina. Tbey ap- pointed more than 1.400 poor' negroes to offices to the exclusion of more than 1,400 poor white men; yet the fusionists profess great love lor the poor white man! The fusion legislature of 189o adjourned in honor of Fred Douglass, the negro who agitated in favor of intermarriasre be tween whites and blacks, but declined to adjourn In honor of Robert E. Lee. This was done to satisfy the negroes who elected fusionists and negroes to office. The Populist party proposes to amend the constitution to prevent the negro from holding office but leaving him the right to vote. The white people are not only opposed to the 40,000 white fusion ists putting bad Degrees in office, but also to the 120,000 negroes putting bad white men in office. , But there is a curious admission in this part of the Populist platform an admis sion that there is danger of nerroim. which must be settled; an admission that they themselves fear negroisml The Populists and Republicans "are responsible for negro rule. The Demo crats were in power 22 years and gave no negro rule. The Populists and Re publicans were in power only four years and put more than 1,400 nesToes in office over white men. 1 be Democrats propose as the'remedy for the evil of negroism, the constitu tional amendment, as the only peaceable remnlj that the wisdom and patriotism of North Carolina has devisod.

If that was true don't you know that Butler and Pritchard would support it? Don't you know that the Democratic party would not disfranchise its own voters?., .-' The amendment will not disfranchise any white man who becomes of age and registers by 1908. The white boys who become of age after 1908 will have to qualify by being able to read and write. The man who believes that the white man has less brains and patriotism than the negro, ought to vote the Republican ticket. : vr-.-.?- Tbe 1908 clause will be a great insDir ation to obtain schooling and knowledge. Every boy, his family and friends will be interested m seeing that he goes to school; every Democrat will be interested in seeing to it that every boy in a Demo cratic family goes to school in order to qualify as an elector, and for the same reason every Republican will be interested in seeing that children in Republican fam ilies go to school. ; , Mr. Kitchin was especially strong in his treatment of this part of the subject ana dwelt upon what a great blessing it would be to the State to arouse more interest in education. In Massachusetts an educational Qual ification was adopted and at -first there were 12 per cent, of illiterates; now there is less than one per cent. In Connecticut at first there were 8 per cent., now less than 1 per cent.; in Maine there was 8 per cent., and now there are less than per cent, of illiterates If all the reasons upon which the Dem ocratic party bases Its conclusion should prove, by some totally, unexpected and improbable cause, to be errors, still the matter could ' be remedied by repealing the whole thing in 1902, 1904. or even in 1908. No white man can be disfran chised under the amendment until after 1908, and the poor white people com- I posing the Democratic-party can at any time say to their leaders: 'Repeal the amendment' and it will be done away witn. .v...:.v." "yy,:. It is the duty of white men to vote for the amendment, as the peaceful way of settling the negro question. Then if the courts Bhall, by any possibility, declare it unconstitutional, upon others Will rest the responsibility, for Anglo-Saxon man- I LJ .:it ii mi i ; hood will assert itself; it will not submit j to negro domination. White men want to settle the matter by peaceful means, but if such will not prevail, their own manhood must make a way. xc was a srreat sDeecn and created a deep impression upon the hearers from every part of the county. We believe that the seeds of truth have been sown I in many fertile minds and that the result will be many more votes for the amend- ment. MURDER IN CRAVEN. Mr. John Manning Killed by His Nephew and Son. . Gmtnrill Reflector, Jane gth. .

Interesting1 North Carolina Items In Condensed Form. ' The second annual meetinir of the N C. Bar association takes place at Ashe ville June 27-29. Gov. Russell has changed the date for the execution of Archie Kineanls at Clin ton from August 3d to Sept. 7th. The legislature will not adiourn sin die so long-as the supreme court remains in session. The latter has already ex tended its session beyond all Drecedent and is filing opinions more slowly since arguments ceased than before. Weldon News: Mr. Euirene Statnn. who was hurt at A. S.

Scotland Neck Commonwealth: " fhey say" that the new well inthecourt yard at ' Halifax is proving a great blessing to dyspeptics.

The com- pany employed thirty hands. It will rebuild. Newbern Journal: On Saturdav. 2nd inst., a goodly number of neighbors of Pelletier, Carteret county, joined in a bear bunt. Within a short while "three drives" bad been made with the verv nn. 5 sua! result of killing five bears. Mr. esse Watson killed two and Mess. Chas. Pringle, Ken Chance and Eugene Meadows each killed one. In addition to this, two bears were "run" which the party could not get. ; Through this (relletier) section the bears are "verv numerous and- many hogs are lost on account of them. JL Raleigh Cor. Messenger: Francis D. Winston, who is in charge of the organi zation of White Supremacy clubs, says that up to date these have been organized in 75 of the 97 counties. He said: There is deep interest in these clubs. In every county where are clubs, the situation is more satisfactory. , They are ! tbe most potent factor. People in the country are busy and often cannot at-' tend the speakings, but the clubs reach them." It is the opinion that the Dem- ocrats have harder work to do to win in this campaign than in that of 1898, . but that this knowledge will only nerve them to greater effort. CHINESE SITUATION. Grows Worse. Time for Powers to Act. Russia Will Suppress Boxers. London, June 9. The situation in China tonight appears distinctly graver. Tbe destruction of a Russian chapel at Tung Tingan has provided Russia with the desired pretext to land more troops. The dispatch from St. Petersburg this afternoon that the government Is re solved, if the dangerous situation in China continues, to take immediate mili tary action to repress the anti-foreign movement, at the same time declaring that it has no intention of disassociating itself from the joint action of the powers may be regarded as a emiofflcial ut terance, meaning that if there is any hesitancy on the part of the powers Rus sia will act alone. Sir Claude MacDouald, British Minister at Pekin, has wired tbe British counsul at Shanghai, confirming tbe reported outrages and the fact that the throne and government have been actuated by a secret sympathy with the Boxer move ment, which tbe government has ample power to suppress if it so desired. Ihe latest lien Tsin die patch saying that tbe dowser empress has appointed ' anti-foreign generals with the pretended mission to suppress the Boxen makes it impossible to doubt that the time has arrived for energetic action. Ihe American minion at let Tang Chow was destroyed yesterday but tbe missionaries tied to a p'ae of safety.
