THE FAIR.

On the 10Th OF November next the
fifth annual Fair of the North Caro-
lima Industrial Association opens at
Raleigh and will continue one week,
1t is not too early TO call the atten-
ton of the people of the State to
this fact. The premium list will soon
be out and then every man and woman
feeling an interest in the agricultural
advancement of the State will be
expected to contribute share 70 the
success of this noble enterprise. Four
years ago when this great movement
was first inaugurated. Many thought
it premature and predicted fai! ure
of the undertaking. Then the insti-
tion was new, and the managers were
without that experience necessary to
manage great enterprises with sue
cess. as was feared by some But
the officials did not lalter in their EN-
desvors to succeed, and they have
conquered. The foul exhibitions that
have been held under the auspices Of
the Industrial Association has aston
ished the country and many have
been puzzled to know how we sue
ceeded so admirably, unaided as We
were. With many difficulties to
surmount we have at last reached the
hills summit, pitched our tent and
stand with colors flying. This is a
movement controlled entirely by col.
ored men, and as such should claim
their undivided support.
Should the North Carolina Indus
trial Association fail in this gigantic
undertaking the disgrace and shame
that would naturally follow such
failure would reflect upon the whole
race. Our enemies those who con-
stantly assert that the Negro is not
cnpable of managing great enter
prises would point to such failure
as an evidence Of the truthfulness of
the oft>repeated assertion. The eyes
of other States are also upon us
watching the results.
Colored men and women, of North
Carolina, arise and assert your man.
hood. If you havs any race pride
let it be revealed in this grand move
ment. The Old North State is at
the head Of the column let her re-
main there. Work, friends, for the
Fair, for it is yolr Fair. Let us
have such an exhibition next Noyem-
Der that will be an honor to the race
years hence.

FOR PRESIDENT 1884.

The Washington Bee nominates
the Secretary of War, Hon. r. 7.
Lincoln. as the Republican candidate
for President in 1884. The time is
fast passing away when the mere name
of a pei on is sufficient to commend
him to the favorable consideration
of people. The world will not in
these latter days be lead BY illus-
trious names; and, therefore, he who
would aspire to leadership, must in
person possess all the necessary requi
sites.
Were we to essay to make nomi
nation for so important position
there are several questions we would
ask ourselves, namely: Is he compe-
tent? Would he, if elected, be the
President? J?
Whothashe done for the Negro race
mot Individually that they should
champion his cause' IfMr. Lincoln
has done anything to commend
him to the black voters Of this coun-
try, we would like to have the Bee
advise us Of the fact. Turn on the
light, brother Bee, and if you con-
vince us that your man is of all
others tie man, we are with you.
But we give notice now that we are
done strsining our windpipe for every
man who processes to be friend to
the Negro. Show us your works.

FAIR DEALING.

From Meriwether's Weekly (Dem }
Two races living under the same
sun and on the same soil have iden
tical interests. The Negroes of the
South and the Southern people COM
nit the widest folly when they di-
verge politically. Last election "a
goeat number of the colorei people
saw tnat to agree and work with a
strong party in Pennsylvania, OF
Ohio, or Maine, but weak in Tennes
see or Mississippi, where they lived,
was of no benefit to themselves
They began to see that Republican
ism meant no harm to their neigh.
bors and consequently harm for them.
selves. But no sooner is an agrees
ment made with some of the co ored
leaders to come over to the Demo
cratic party than it is shamefully
broken. Mr.. Shaw was promised
share in the spoils Of office if the
Democrats won during the last elec,
tion, and now Governor Bate has re
fused to divide. Holding, as we
have always done, that the office of
Oil Inspector was sinecure, We
frankly say that no onA should have
it, But if any one is to get the
office in payment of work done dur
ing elections, it, by all means, belongs
to Mr.. Shaw. We are forced to ad,
nit the power Of race prejudice, and
the lack of faith that the white peo>
pie have heretofore had in their
promises to the colored people. 1t
is now time to begin to honor our
promises to a black man as we would
a note in bank. In this way we
will make them respect us, follow
our advice aud work heartily for the
development of the South.

THE NEGRO
SEEN WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution.

Atlanta (Ga) Constitution.
There has been considerable dis
cussion recently In the columns o.
some of our esteemed Southern con-
( temporaries in regard to the future
of the Negro. 1t is very timely
discussion, TOO, no matter what shape
it may take, for it is calculated to set
people to thinking. The truth is, the
Nagro is the situation and the situa-
tion is problem, and the sooner the
Southern people take hold of this
problem in earnest, the better it will
be for the whole country. In the
South and by the Southern people
alone is this problem to be solved,
and it is a problem of such vast i'm
portarce to the two races that
thoughtful people are to be pardoned
if they receive with impatience the
tiippant prejudices which few South
ern editors have contributed to the
discussion.
There is no reason why any South
ern man, woman or child should have
any prejudice against the Negro race.
here is no ground for it for there
Is nothing more pathetic IN history
than the fact that the Negroes, with
a full knowledge Of all the clrcum
stances, remained faithful to the in>
telests of the Southern people 20 the
end Ii there is anything more pa
thetic than this it is the fact that the
Negro has been the creature of cir
cumstances over which he had no
control He has been leaf in
storm. He was not responsible fo
slavery, and he is not responsible for
his freedom; nor is he responsible for
the problem of which he is one of
the factors. -
The Southern editor who makes
the discussion Of this problem tn
excuse tor attacking and abusing the
Negroes grossly misrepresents his
readers and the people of his section.
And yet even this phase Of the dis
cussion is not untimely, since it gives
earnest men an opportunity to re-
view the whole question in spirit OF
justice and humanity, and with de-
sire TO reach solution Of the prob
!em.
An esteemed State contemporary
recently declared that the Negroes
must all be colonized. A few days
afterward it was announced that they
We're in the South to stay" This re-
vlsed announcement of our contem>
porary is undoubtedly the correct
one. The Neg oes are here to stay.
This is the problem which earnest
men must solve. 1t is the opinion
Of the Constitution that the Negroes
will be Just what the justice and
humanity Of the South choose to
make them and no one doubts that
the best public sentiment Of the
South desires to make them worthy
in every way of tie great privileges
and responsibilities that have been
conferred upon them. 1t is the opin-
ion of the Constitution that the
Southern people will solve the prob
lem in the best interest of both races
and of the whole country.
We propose to discuss this ques-
tion fully but not in this article. We
simply desire to put on record the
fact that abuse of the Negroes is out
of place in discussion Of this sort.

We were at this histori, town on
the 18th and 18th inst. in the in
terest Of this paper la addition to
the renewal of numbers of our old,
we added many new subscribers As
we had not before visited this ancient
town, hid away up on the old Cape
Fear, we cert inly owe much for our
success there to Hon j. S. Lesry,
than whom the race has few who
are more earnest, progressive or de-
serving.
We visited ths establishment of
the enterprising j. r. Mcneil, the

would be creditable to a man of any
race. He keeps constantly on hand
from fifty to a hundred collins and
caskets, ranging in price from $500
to $3.50 each. He works from two
eight men. There are in Fsyette-
vile a number OF others whom we
would be pleased to mention, but suf-
fee it to say that the people are
prosperous and happy.
