.Bryan on Race Question.
Bryan spoke Tuesday at Fort Scott,
Kan. While he was discussing the col
onial policy of the government some one
asked Mr. Bryan about North Carolina
and the race question in that State.
"I am glad you mentioned North Car
olina," said Mr. Bryan. "Now I want
you to read the Sulu treaty, and having
none tnat, 1 thins you will 1 blush until
election day and never have time to think
of North Carolina." , ;
This sally brought a prolonged cheer
from the crowd, and when it had sub
sided Mr. Bryan- tutnned "this treat.
showing bow it tolerated and recognised
slavery. He then said that the Republi
can parry not many years aso disiran
chised the negro in the District of Colum
bia and by legislation during the last
session of congress the negroes of Porto
Kico had been denied the right of trial br
jury., !: so state legislature of the United
States had gone so far. "Yes," said he,
"this race question is a serious question
wherever it is encountered: and is not
the presence of a race prejudice in this
country today a reason why. we should
not take the chances of increasing it by
adding to our population , 8,000,000 of
people 01 a totally dinerent race 7 No In
telligent citizen can deny the existence of
the race question here and it is such a se
rious question that it will take all the
intelligence of both the white and black
people to settle, even under existing con
ditions. J For God's sake then, don t let
us take a step which will further com.
plicate the situation." " '
Trust Methods.
Tarboro Southerner. ' . '' i - i
The American Tobacco Trust is now
pursuing trust methods to crush out a
small Industry in this section.'
In . v uson there are manufactured
cigarettes called "Carolina Brights" and
the public here and at other points in this
section of the State have received them
with much favor.
The A. T. company brooks no onoosi-
tton, so it Das cut prices in this place and
others so as to underbid the Brights peo
ple. In addition, this monopoly now
oners a lot 01 cheroots as an extra in
ducement for dealers to handle. As sopn
as the mue rival is crushed prices will go
DOCK.' - -i "
To crush out the manfacturers of the
Brights would take away from those
engaged in making them their living. But
this does not concern the A. T. company,
whose management and most of their
employes are lor ilcKJnley.
Dealers wiil not add to their profits in
this war ot crushing, because the lo
prices they now pay are temporary. ;

Charlotte Observer: The hone of. a.
solid Democratic delegation from North
Carolina in the next congress, In which
Chairman Simmons indalges. as he ex.
pressed himself to our Greensboro cor
respondent, is not ill-fonnded. From
present indications the eighth and ninth
are the only doubtful districts. Even it
these are lost and the others carried, of
which there seems no doubt, the Dem. '

bend every energy to a realization of this
hope. , ,
Winston Sentinel: Eawlev Stronflr.
colored blacksmith, met with a sad death
Saturday night. He was drowned In a
ditch on the east side of N. &. W. track
on 1 street. Whisker is said to have
been the cause of his death. The general
impression is that he was walking along
ids rauroaa tracs aunng me heavy rain
and being intoxicated he stumbled and
fell in the ditch, about six feet deep. It
being filled with water which ran under
the track, Stronjr was unable to tret out.
The position in which he was found
proved that he made desperate efforts to
pull himself out. . . ;

J. J. Martin, Republican nominee for
congress in the second district, is post
master at Tarboro; Spencer Blackburn,
in the eighth, is assistant district attor
ney; Jim Moody, in the ninth, was major
of the baked beans department in the
Spanish war; Holton, in the seventh, is
brother to the district attorney for the
western district, and was revenue officer
if he is not now; Joyce, in the fifth, is
stamp clerk in the revenue office; Jtnkins,
in the fourth, is supervisor of the census.
The other nominees will also be federal
officials or be controlled by them. '
That Is the kind of "business men" the
Republicans will ask the North Carolina
people to vote for as representatives in
congress. - "
Lrery one of these fellows used his in-
fluence to defeat the constitutional
amendment, and they are all rnnning on
a platform thatdeclares that onr amend
ment Is "revolutionary."
The Republican party in North Carolina
puts up today the same old stripe of
negro-voting politicians they have been
nominating for thirty years, and then
has the eflrontery to appeal to "business
men" to vote to undo the vote they cast
in August. It will not avail them.
