Told by a Salisbury Negro to Ohio White People. ! Columbus, O., June 5, 1899. Editors Sun: On last evening, in one of the churches of this city, an eminent colored divine bailing from Salisbmy, N. C, addressed a Columbus audience of white people and made what many of hi3 hearers believed to be a true statement of the colored race in the South. if Now the writer is not a negro hater, but on the other 4 hand is one who is anxious to see the col ored man live and prosper. We attended this lecture, not with the intention of criticising him, but hoping to hear a colored minister's true statement of the condition of the negro in the South. ! Below wre give extracts of few of the many remarks the speaker made: ' "In the Wilmington trouble thirty men were shot down just for fun." 1 "Fifty infants starved to death while their mothers were fugitives just. outside the city." "j He described a Jim Crow car as being an apartment 10 by 12 feet and containing twenty convicts and twelve colored men and wo--men and as many spittoons as there were people. The filth and smoke "almost made him sick." 1 "The maximum wages of the negro is twenty-five cents per day and he. can't get much work at that." ;' - i He said that 25,000 of them had been lynched since the civil war just because they were black,' and thaf thousands of them were being lynched to-day and their Northern friends knew nothing of it. He closed asking them for money. 1 . j A North .Carolinian. The above is sent the Sun by a young man known by us to be honest and truthful.

A hot wave has spread over the Atlantic coast states and it i stay ing with us more than a day, too. xesterday ln foalisbtiry the gov ernment thermometer registered 100, and never touched lower than 70 for twenty-four hours pre- v luuo vkj v u viua joiciuaj even- mg. The thermometer had registered 99 to-day before 2 o'clock. At other places high tempera ture is reported mercury at some of them going almost as high as in Salisbury. Heat caused 25 deaths in New York yesterday and 25 prostra tions in Philadelphia. This report was sent out from Washington last night: The maximum temperature to day was 97, a degree hotter than yesterday. The city suffered in tensely with the heat, but the ab sence of casualties is considered remarkable. There' is still hope for a storm, that will clear the air, but thaThope is beginning to grow" more slender. - v The genertil situation has im proved on the North Atlantic coast. There was a drop of 32 degrees in the past 2i hours at Bos ton, and New York is to-night 6 degrees cooler than yesterday. On the other hand, the maxi mum temperature had risen at points South. Little relief is prom ised the country at large, except for local showers, all the indica tions being that the hot wave is as long-lived as itds widespread. An Error. r Mi .
