Down with trusts and with McKinley and Hanna's trost party. Col. J. Bryan Grimes states the propo sition precisely in few words: "It is simply a question of whether the white neoDle of the State shall govern it or whether the negroes shall misgovern it." Which shall it be? That is for the white men of North Carolina to determine. They and they alone must answer at the polls on the first Thursday in August. The federal court baa no authority to issue warrants against State registrars, yet, notwithstanding the full investiga tion at Winston showed the registrar had not exceeded his authority but only declined to register negroes who could not qualify, the D. 8. commissioner bound the registrar to court in the sum of 2,000, an outrageously big bond, but the good white people of Winston rushed to sign the bond and begged the privilege of signing it. The Winston peo ple say that it had been pre-determined to bind the registrar over regardless of evidence and facta. There is great ind ig- nation in Winston and all over the State against Holton, Butler and the oegro- . . ... ? insion gang lor putting negroes up to swear lie against Democratic registrars. The white people are angered by such dis reputable spewsionism, and it will cause a greater majority for White Supremacy. From various portions of the State come reports of attempted violence by fool or drunken negroes to intimidate Democratic registrars. ' Tax Fees Pbxss baa no enmity toward the negroes, though believing they have no business participating in the government of this country, and ws hops they will not listen to the bad advice given them by some Hiartbirm.
