THE ROANOKE BEACON,
. ' Plymouth. N. a
Tuesday was a notable day for
North Carolina It was a day on
which opened a campaign for the
white man and white metal on that
day the Democratic party opened a
campaign and entered a fight which
mast be a fight to the finish. .
The ablest men have been selected
to do. the campaigning men who
have the ability and the courage to
expose the disgraceful and dishonest
gang that have heaped shame upon
the State. When the true situation
is revealed to tho honest white voters
there will bo but littlo' doubt as to
the result.
In this issue will be found an ar
ticle entitled "A Vile Slander' from
tho able pen of Jno. A. Arthur, Jr. ,
editor Washington Messenger. The
utterances of which express the feel
ings of some Yankee South-haters,
of which tho paragraph copied by
Mr. Arthur is a fair sample, is bad
to say the least, and when it is given
publicity by such an order as the
American Tract- Society, it makes
the blood of Southern people boil
with indignation.
The Southesn people can stand to
he misrepresented as an industrial
people, as patriots, soldiers, and
section, but when her fair daughters
. nre assailed and their purity of char
acter is questioned, the people should
rise in their might and denounce
the vile slanderers as liars, and those
orders or papers which give those
expressions publicity should be ban
ished from our homes. But thanks
to their intelligence, all Northern
people do not look upon us us some
do. Those who are willing to seek
and have gained any knowledge of
the South, admit that the world has
no braver men or purer women than
the South.
Read tho article of Bro. Arthur
and let the press and the people of
the South say Amen.
"
.
As has been noted in this paper
before, there are some objections to
the building of the Record Vaults.
Whether those who object are in a
position to know tho need of the
vaults or not. we ar unable to say.
It seemi to us that every county
should take tbi best of care of its
records, and to do this it is necessary
to have vaults that will stand under
jyiirenmstances. With this object
in view, the Board of Commissioners
of Washington county, after taking
duo consideration of the matter,
have decided to build vaults, and to
build good ones that will suffice for
all time. This action on the part of
the Commissioners was not taken
willingly, for it was some time be
fore they would consent to place
such a debt upon the county, even
.after it had been recommended by
the Grand J urr. Under favorable
circumstances this debt will not in
crease the taxes, as the payments
are .so divided as to give plenty of
time for the surplus to pay the debt.
We are not in favor of speuding
county money where tho result is
doifbtful, but in this case it is plain
that the burning of tho Court House
would mean the loss pf the records.
"Uher counties are having vaults,
1 it is the duty of this county to
-cfc its records, even at an ad-
al cost.

A VILE SLANDER.
Until recently we have alwavs had the
highest respect aud consideration for the
American Traot Society, and thin consider
ation has been shared largely by the
Christian people of the South who" have
contributed of their means to its support.
We believed its sole object was to distrib
ute Christian literatnre among that class of
people who were not .able or iuclined to
purchase it, and then awaken in them a
thirst for moral and ennobling reading
that will lead them to embrace Christianity,
join one of the churches, and in the end
become better, citizens and really good
people. But we mast confess ever since
our eyes foil on the following clipping
published by this society, our admiration
has turned to disgust and as far as we are
concerned we would banish every tract or
publication of the sooiety from our beloyed
South. In fact we should no' more admit
any of the publication of that vile concern
into our homes than We would permit our
little children to make playmates of rattle
snakes. The wretches calling themselves
followers of the meek and lowly Jesus dare
to print the following damnable lie about
Southern women. We copy.
"For the girls of our Southern cities
there is at present only one industry pros
titution. They are too sluggish aud dull
witted for factory work ; they have not
perseverance enough ior plain household
work or sewing. Amoug these women the
Mormon propagandists find their easier
work ; many hundreds of them go to Utah
every year."
We can all se6 at a glance this refers to
the poor girls of the South, but it is a lie
all the same, and the author, although he
is a divine, knew it was a lie when he pen
ned it. The Southern girl dressed in her
checked apron i one of the purest beings
on God's earth, and though she may be
raised in the obscurity of the cross roads,
her humble home made of loss and the
wintry blast kept out by clay in the cracks,
her education only obtained from the pub
lic schools, yet her virtue is as pure as
angels and 6he can compare favorably
with the women of any nation or clime.
We have often thanked God that our
Southern women were just as they are,
unassuming, modest, passing daily to their
accustomed toil and becoming the mothers
of a race of men from which the heroes of
the war like Hobsou, Bagley and Blue
have come. Aud this Southland of ours
had yet to produce a Dr. Cody, Dr. Mary
Walker, Elizabeth Staunton and Susan B.
Anthony, While we have none of these.
we can truthfully state, iu all the history
of the world a record of purer women
than has been furnished and is furnished
by the Southern States of America have
never been seen, and when a lie like the
above is published defaming their fair
name, we hurl it back in their teeth with
renewed emphasis. Rich or poor, ignorant
or learned, they stand ou the very, highest
plane of purity. And a pretended religious
association which publishes such vile
slander should be ostracized by all self
respecting people of the South. The Good
Book tells us that it is impossible for the
leopard .to change his spots or the Etheo
piaa to make his skin white, and we sup
pose the same rule might be applied to a
Yankee Southern hater. Like, the Devil,
they were liurs in the beginning and are
liars still. It seems impossible for them to
tell the truth, and their most congenial
employment is in vilifying the South.
Years ago history tells us, they exchanged
New England rum lor negroes, and when
trading and trafficing in negroes ceased to
be profitable they sold them in the South,
only to raise holy hands againBt the insti
tution they introduced, and pronounced
it the sin of the age. Not content with
this, they now through the American
Tract Society publish a vile slander like
the above. As far as we are concerned we
stand ready to compare statistics on pros
titution any time and have no fear on
which side the balance in favor of virtue
and the purity of the Southern girls will
fall. While this is true and the heroes of
the present war are coming and will still
be coming from the South, and particularly
from North Carolina, attesting her loyalty,
tho Yankees are selling coal to the Spanish
navy to aid them in sending death and
destruction to their own cohntryareaj

THE WAR SITUATION.
The Situation in Cuba. ,
About 15,000 V. S. Soldiers have been
landed On Cuban soil. One or two fights
hav been, fought, in which the Americans
were more or less victorious, with small
loss of life. The Spaniards have been
driven from their block houses and oat
posts into Santiago.
The Cuban Insurgents are aiding the
Amerioaas in many ways, but the extreme
heat is a great disadvantage to oar soldiers,
and makes the fighting more difficult.
The invading army is near Santiago and
a final charge was expected yesterday and
the people are anxiously awaiting to hear
the result. There is a much larger army
of Spaniards in Santiago than there is of
the invading army, besides the country all
around Santiago is well fortified, and these
facts cause the Americans to fear that the
victory, if won, will be a costly one,
WILL GO TO SPAIN.
The news that the Cadiz fleet under
Admiral Camara, was moving Eastward,
heading for the Philippines, is accepted as
true, and the United States has fully de
cided to send allying squadron to the coast
of Spain and carry war into the Spanish
homes. This fleet is now being made
ready and will sail about Monday with
four months supplies; it is composed of
the flag ship Newark, battleships Iowa and
Oregon, cruisers Yosemite, Yankee and
Dixie, and three colliers, under command
of Commodore Watson.
This fleet will give the Canaries a brush,
then pass down the coast giving the Span
ish ports such a warm time that the Cadiz
fleet will be recalled, provided it is not
taken or demolished by Admiral Dewey,
The administration does not seem to
have any fear for the safety of Dewey and
his fleet, as it has assurance from the hero
of Manila that he can take care of himself.
If tho Americans have attacked Santiago
and taken it, together with Cevera's fieett
the Cuban war is virtually over, but it
looks like all the Spanish possessions must
be taken before they will surrender.
The North Carolina soldiers are yet in
camp, the 1st regiment in Florida and the
2nd near Ealeigh. They have been paid
off, and from all reports the boys are get
ting alone finely.
The work of mobolizing the negro troops
at Fort Macon has been in progress this
week.
