TUB MI6KO TOTI rrMr Cansrvaasnaa rafatfeam He pitta ta Sanatar Frtiehard Littleton. N. C Dec. 6. To the Editor of The Post: AUow me space In your columns to roeak a word at the behest of the vo ters of my rare In the recent election In North Carolina. I Senator Prltchard claims that the 'colored vote in North Carolina was 'cast for the Democrats. If so. why? Tvery man with any degree of Intelll irence now that only the most extra ordinary conditions could bring the colored man to vote any but the ticket of the party which accomplished the emancipation of his race. i mmpiy desire to state that the sen 'ator's indictment alleging - a want . .. imIIt" against the colored Ol pan; avJ ' . , voter of North Carolina. Is a slander upon the most certain and reliable element In th- Republican party of the United States. .... refused to support the " . . . Kii.-n legislative ticket o-caiieu nruw...-" " 'of North Carolina, pledged to the sena tor for they considered this a pre mium upon hU conduct In tha out of the Oreensboro consent Ion and further there was no wi-uuui. it ln eusterTNorth Carolina this year. 2J ho'e Issue being Senator Pritchard- and -Independentlsm" to the ut fer n."t by the nator of any par- ty principles whatsoever or without Invoking the assistance of the many ftble devotees of the G. O. P. in the state and none in eastern North Caro lina. Really the senator's campagin from beginning to end was amusing. In his Interview (?) Senator Pritch ard says "There were contesting dele gations from a few counties in the east and it was well understood that they attended at the instance of Demo cratic manipulators and with the same view of "doing what they could to pre vent the formation of a strong Repub lican organization in their respective counties. The delegates seated from these counties were substantial farm ers and business men and were se lected by qualified voters, while on the other hand those who contested their seats were selected by citizens, the majority of whom were not entitled to vote." By this latter statement the sen ator gives apparently absolute endorse ment to "the disfranchising clause of the amended constitution of North Carolina." In a number of 'eastern counties w here the colored voter has been large ly in the majority, delegates to the Greensboro convention under Mr. Pritchard's call as state chairman of the Republican party, were selected by large and enthusiastic Republican con ventions. In my own county of War ren, M. F. Thornton, who for nearly a quarter of a century has served the county as register, of deeds, always with white assistants, selected from the best white families of the county, and I myself, who was a member of congress and recorder of deeds for ten (10) years of my life, haying alsb. with out taint of social equality, employed for help the best white ladies and gen tlemen of my section, were duly se lected delegates to the Greensboro convention, where we were Informed our seats were contested by B. G. Green and Nathan Jones (self-constituted delegates to said convention) no citizen of Warren county ever having heard of a Republican convention sup plying these gentlemen with such cre dentials it was in fact reported that these gentlemen went merely as vis itors to fight the Prltchard machine. This Warren county convention, as well as others, was. according to a thirty (20) year custom in my county and others, and I submit that I cannot comprehend Mr. Pritchard's statement that "the colored delegates sent to the Greensboro convention were sent at the Instance of Democratic manipulators." Such a marvellous statement strikes my people with consternation. Only six thousand colored people out of the more than fifteen thousand who did actually register, casting their votes and exercising the high fran chise acquired, not inherited, ought to make the Honorable (?) Mr. Pritchard see the inconsistency of his position. It is believed that twenty or thirty thousand other colored men did. in their manhood, decline to apply for the privilege of registration. I thank you for allowing me the space and I would not intrude myself upon your columns but for the fact that Senator Prltchard has imputed bad faith' to thousands of my colored friends in North Carolina who some times look to me to speak In their be half. In truth the infidelity in Repub licanism In this state is to be charged to the senator who made himself the exclusive issue In the last campaign. Very respectfully, HENRY P. CHEATHAM. GYMNASTICS AT TRINITY COLLEGE Durham. Dec. 6. Special. The fall gymnastic exhibition given at the Angler Duke gymnasium of Trinity College last evening was a success in every respect. Almost five hundred f people, consisting of citizens of Dur ham and college students, were in attendance upon this occasion. All the events were carried out with skill and precision, as was attested by the lib eral applause received by the various performers. It is safe to say that It was the best exhibition of the kind that has been given since the gymna- islum was established. The first event on the program was a one-iron dumb-bell drill by a class of twenty-four students. The exer cises given were Intended to illustrate the progress from the simple to the more complex movements In dumb bell work. This was followed by work on the German horse, which was un usually good. Tumbling feats by Director Card and Messrs. Dowd, Boone, Foard and Rochelle were of the sensational order. The contortion acts of the latter Avere especially good, his standing forward somersault being an almost phenome nal feat. The fencing contest between Director Card and Mr. Louis Cole was one of the best features of the ex hibition. It was somewhat of an In novation here and was much appre ciated by the spectators. In addition to the bout the fundamental move ments In fencing were given, these tending to show the progress from the simple to the more complex man oeuvres. ! The work on the horizontal bars was of the circus order. The movements were from a simple vault to the very difficult "giant swing." In which As sistant Director Dowd's work elicited generous applause from the specta tors. Next came some very difficult feats 'on the parallel bars, which were un usually good considering the amount of training which the class has had. The hand stand by Mr. Card from stiff arms, which Is a phenomenal feat, was the feature of the work in jthls department and elicited prolonged applause. I The real feature of the exhibition, perhaps, was the Indian club swinging by Mr. Card. This comprised several of the more Intricate movements in club work ending with the difficult ."snake movement."" I Lack of space forbids mention of the othtr numbers on the progrsm, t which wus brought to a close by the contest known as passing the ball, this being" quite exciting." Altogether the program was exceptionally interesting and reflected mucJhgCj-ed.lt upon Direc tor Card.' to 'whom WfciVjxce"llent train ing of the class was, in a large meas ure, rdue.' This is the first , year that this gentleman has had" charge of the physical training department jof the college and that he is well qualified for his work is amply, proved by the splendid showing of the class. He Is ably assisted by Mr. W. L. Dowd, a former student of the college, who is making quite a reputation as a success ful gymnast. N. C. TOBACCO GROW ER'S ASSOCIATION - Planters " the State Over Urged to Attend Meeting at Rocky Mount Those interested in the organization of a State Tobacco Growers' Associa tion are working vigorously now .for the success of the preliminary meeting called to be held at Rocky Mount, N. C. December 19th; notable among these are CoL John S. Cuningham of Person county, and Hon. J. Bryan Grimes, Secretary of State. Col. Cun lnsham has issued a circular letter to tobacco growers the State over urging them to attend the meeting. It fol lows: "North Carolina Tobacco Growers' As sociation. "Cuningham, N. C. Nov. 20. "Dear Sir I have recently consulted with Mr. O. L. Joyner, Col. J. Bryan Grimes and other tobacco growers in the State and we are very much Im pressed with the necessity of the to bacco growers in this State organizing at this time. believe this is abso lutely necessary now because if we do not form a business association at this time for our mutual interest and pro tection we shall see the price of to bacco fall until, with the large crop which it seems now certain will be planted for the year 1903, We shall be selling our products at less than cost of production. I therefore write to ask you to meet us at' Rocky Mount, N. C, at 1 o'clock, on December 19, and de vise or discuss those means which most vitally concern the tobacco grow ers now. I shall consider it a person al favor if you will meet us at that time and urge such, tobacco growers as you can interest in this matter, whose support and judgment you think would be valuable to us, te join with us at that time. "I will be glad if you will give this matter careful consideration, so as to give us the benefit of your deliberate Judgment when we meet. "An immediate reply will be very much appreciated: "Expecting to see you Oh the 19th. I am, "Sincerely, "JOHN S. CUNINGHAM. "Pres. N. C. Tobacco Growers" Asso ciation." . TO SERVE TEA, C0FFEE- AN0 A BIT TO EAT The board of managers of the "Sa die T. Williamson Nursery" wish to thank Mr. Sherwood Iliggs for the use of a space In his store, during the week preceding - Christmas. These spaces are usually rented, but Mr. Higgs has made it a Christmas gift to "The Nursery" from his baby girl. The ladles wjll serve tea and coffee and "a bite to eat" to tired shoppers. Sherwood Hlggs & Co. will deco rate the booth .In their usual-attractive style and the entire proceeds .will go to "The Nursery," The White Slave Bartley ' Campbell's "The White Slave" in complete new attire will be the attraction at the Academy of Mu sic Wednesday night, December 10, j and it is announced that no previous production of this play can be com- cry part and there are a great many in "The White Slave" has been en trusted to experienced actors who can be expected to faithfully impersonate the quaint and lovable characters so admirably drawn by the great author. "The White Slave" is always interest ing from a historical standppint. The story it tells, deals fairly with the subject that divided the nation forty years ago. It Is full of humanity, and fairly overflows with lofty sentiment and genuine comedy. The contrasts of life, the pain, the thrills, and the Joys of our common everyday existence Is Just the sort of thing upon which Mr. Campbell relied to win his public. To follow his lively heroine from her hap py Kentucky home into the drudgery and shame of slavery from which she is rescued by her lover Insures two and a half hours of perilous adventure lit up by the merry pastimes of the negroes, and the sweet strains of the old time melodies which were so popu lar in Dixie land, long, long ago.
