AFFAIRS WITH POPULISTS SKIPPED. (II. C Bryant in Charlotte Observer.) Tarboro, N. C, Sept. i8. Special) The following story is told me : Dr. Mayo, o. e ot the leading Populists of Edgecombe county, had on his place a negro politician by the name of Henry Dancy. Of late Dr. Mayo has been, as Sa-5a&Kiickiiig Dancy. He has treated the negro as though he was his equal. As a result, Da cy bee me uppish. He took the little negro house-boy off to one side the other day and told him that he would give him a dollar if he would tell him which room Miss Muyo, Dr. Mayo's grown daughte r, occupied. The negro boy told the cook, the cook told Mrs. Mavo, and the result is that impudent Dancy has skipped to parts more distant The affair is the talk of the neighborhood. News and Observer. Epworth, N. C , Sept. 30, 1898 Editor The Caucasian, Raleigh, N. C: Sir: Enclosed find .article which explains itself. I brand the whole thing an infamous and slanderous lie, and his informant a calumniator and coward. I live in No. 6 Township, near Epworth, in Edgecombe county, N. C. Respectfully, W. T. May. Men of North Carolina, honest men ! Gentlemen I ! What language can be employed to properly characterize the ruffian who put out such reports and slanders as thee ? Is the political party, that een tolerates such men, to be the party to coaduct the affairs of State? Yea, even more. Is a church organization that permits the fellowship of such vile slanderers fit to com mand the respect of an honest man ? Think, oh ye voters, and answer for yourselves. The above are not all of the recent slanders put out, nor are they the worst. "WHITE MAN'S PARTY" DEMO CRATS INVENT AXD TRY TO This kind of " Democracy makes the Picture of Thos.

The Dem ocratic machine presi- is copjinf and scatttrirg irtm one end of the State to the other a viJe and slanderous editorial that atrDeared in a negro paper at Wilmington. The condttunation of such an utterance is emphatically prctier. but conrt tnt.niinn ia this case has grown to be a revel with the Dtmociatic machine ptess. The greatest end it has in view is to make; 4 political BUILD A OASIS FOR THEIR "ISSUE." The Democratic machine has so long been, and is now so determined, that the cry of "Nigger" shall be its campaign slogan, that when no real instai.ee or cir .cumstance can be found on which to base that cry, one is manufactured for special nse. Here is an illustration: Several years ago the Democrats raised a wail of woe over the report that in some eastern county a wnite woman, a pauper, had been let by the county to a negro to keep, because the negro had made the lowest bid to the county. Flaming car toons and wild" pictures were scattered over the State showiiig the horrors of the scene. There wjs truth in the report, but investigation showed that this white won an (if she was w hite) was the MOTHER OF THE NEGRO TO WHOM SHE HAD BEEN farmed OUT. But, nevertheless, the Democratic machine made this incident the chief basis of its campaign. io-aay, in me year 01 grace Iy. the tic papers of the State, when there is so little foundation for them.

To me he seemed to studi ously avoid doing or saying am-thing- that wrould in the least embarrass any lady. He has always been respectful to me, both in my official and personal deal ings with him.
