WHY Is IT F?

The Gastonia Gazette comments as
follows on the conduct Of the negroes
IN voting against the interests Of the
whites-their lest fyiends--in every
election. 1t says:
When colored men want advice
about private business matter they
90 to the intelligent, sober men around
them; when they or their families are
laid Oh beds Of sickness, they send for
a reliable and s+illful physician. If
they are blind cripple or disabled in
any way, they stretch out their hands
to the Christian white people for char
ity. When they fall into the meshes
Of the laS, they seek the counsel Of a
respectable white lawyer and beg their
white neighbOrs to come to t. eir rescue.
When they want to build a church the
inevitable subscription paper comes
around among the Christian whites.
For the education of their children,
the substantial white people provide
the schools and pay the money that
sustaJns them.
In short, the mass of the negroes
are dependent on their white neigh
bors fOr almost everything.
! But when an election comes, look
on their tickets! What do you find J

men whom a mysterious Providence
permits to cumber the earth.

DURHAM IS ALL RIGHT.

Durham received a severe blow by
the failure there, bnt Durham will not
be downed. There IS too much OF
that same push and pluck that made
the town what it is left in the old
land vet. Durham will come again /;
nothing is surer; and nothing is more
gratifying to North Carolinians every
where. As an evidence that there is
cause for such talk as this see what the
Rrr0rHtr Of Tuesday says
Durham is not standing still, neither
is she going backward. Not bit OF
it. Durham is getting her momentum
up to j pretty goOt4 progressive gait,
and we may look for many substantial
Improvements and new enterprises this
winter.
4 pint stock company is already
being formed to establish and operate
another warehouse in Durham for The
sale Of leaf tobacco. This is the first
move made Tor a new enterprise in
Durham since the financial disaster.
and the readiness and hberality shown
by our people in taking stock, is cor.
elusive evidence that Durham is on her
feet again and is ready to run the in
dustr.al and progressive race which Is
spread out before her.
This new warehouse enterprise is II

FOR BUSINESS MEN TO CON
SLIDER.

Touching upon the subject Of bust
ness enterprise IN other States and our
own, the Wilmington Messenger very
pertinently says:
The Charlotte CM0Nit!e has some
pertinent comments on the contrasts
between buSlnass men in Southern cities,
outside of North Carolina, who, pat
ronize, literally, their newspapers, and
those in North CarO!inl cities who do
not advertise, or do next to nothing
toward supporting their home papers.
We quote the Chronicle -
..The Atlanta ConshtufI0n of Sun
day was 9 MAMMOTH paper of twenty
pages, filed with advertisements. The
Atlanta merchants draw an immense
trade from widely surrounding coun-
try, all by advertising. That built
Atlanta. Unless the merchants had
patronized the C0HyjitutiOA literally
it would have been powerless to ac-
complsh the great good it has. The
patronage enabled it to exert an cx-
tended influence.
1.-The more merchants advertise, the
better paper IS made; and the better
the paper, the better advertisements in
it pay the merchants. There are dry
goods stores in Atlanta that run a
half page each every Sunday; and not
infrequently some have page each.
ga paper that can barely live on its
legitimate patronage can hardly prove
very remunerative advertising me
dunn Or valuable organ for the com
munity's Interests. \ man who wants
a big days work out of a horse, does
not give him half meal for breakfast,
and Craze him tor dinner"
These are words Of business sober
ness and commercial truth. The press
of North Carolina cities and towns are
engaged every day in efforts to pro
mote their growth and business de.
velOpment, and spread out in theil
pages the advantages and facilities
these places possess, and enlarge upon
the volumes of BUSINESS they are trans
acting. But their advertising columns
belle their pretensions. 10 bushes:

THE Omaha Repetition, L bitter
Radical sheet Of the North vest, and
OF course an uncompromising South
hater ard ulaligner, says: The New
Orleans 7GmcsOtmotrH has been in
terviewing prominent men there as to
the probable effect OF the Republican
victory on the future of the South.
They were found unanimous in the
opinion that the election would have
no effect on the present prosperity and
progress" This is all well enough,
but the RtpnGAtaa could not refraia
commenting little itself, and adds !:
There is one industry that will be IN
terfered with-that OF ballot-box
stuflng, and killing .niggers' as pre-
1iminary campaign work" Such an
unwarranted and infamous assertion
from such source IS unworthy OF re-

in his heart, a pain for the wrongs OF tlo

the road that led to his own home on the hill
he could see the CLEAN Of bright light from
his fathers study, where with his smooth
faced lawyer, he was perfecting his plans for
tho morrow. And then he seemed to hear
his own words and his own tone as he hivl
/ spoken in the meeting ochoin2 oddly in his
ear. Had he undutifully sacrificed his
father to his help, and would it be from his
fault the strike he feared would come to-
morrow! Could his father point his trcm-
bling fingers at him when the mills should
stop, and the prospective stockholders de-
cline the investment tomorrow and say:
My own son is to blame. With one word
he could have prevented it,"
Then Philip turned his back to the lights
that seemed to reproach him iatolerably, and
walked slowly down the hill again. All!
what fear for capital, it always shifts its
burden upon labor.

But the house looked so sedate and alto
gether resnectable that it seemed impossible
but that everything was as usual inside. The
doorstood invitingly open, as it should on such
a balinv summer evening, the light streaming
bountifully out on the walk. A catastrophe
surely would have left some sign, some
fatal mark somewhere to curClle ones blood
from afar. How foolish of this black eyed
maiden and him to rush at the top of their
speed in an AGONY of suspense only to find
Bertha sitting at the parlor table mild eyed
and serene as he had used to know herr She
had only stepped across the street perhaps.
How She would wonder to see him hurry
ing in his unreasonable fear into her pres
encel But he would pour into her ears such
a torrent of words of love that she would
bless him a Thousand times that he had come
back, and their happiness would date from
tonight. Perhaps she had tender conf
dences for him, too, of how wonderfully she
had grown into the love he had longed for,
and she would whisper to him that the few
weeks of estrangement had been blessing of
God for her, and he need never again com
plain of the GOODNESS of her love. Life is not
so serious and tragical an affair as one some.
times thinks; things don't always plunge
into the ruin thev are pointed toward.
By the time Philip stepped into the door
he had fully discounted his expected relief:
indeed, had almost persuaded himself that he
had had no misgivinCs, there seemed SO little
sense in misgivings
But he did not find the blue eyed woman he
loved at her parlor table. He looked for a
crochet needle or square of canvas, which
might show the marks of recent work. but
the round table was in perfect order. The
little book shaped card basket stood near the
bronze base of the drop lamp. A large red
morocco bound volume, called "The Dresden
Gallery" was tilted up little by blue and
gold book of Swinburne's poems, on which it
had been laid, The gracefully carved book
rack was full, all but one space the volume of
poems might have fitted into
Just as l arranged it after tea,n said Jane
Graves, moving uneasily about
"For heavens sake be STILL" he exclaimed.
He stepped out into the hall
