TORS ARE SAYING.
i Some Interesting Extracts From the PEN
cils of Our State Newspaper Men.-A
Great Variety of Subjects Touched
Upon.
Tell it not to the "exodusters," but
Kansas has law that prevents nar
rying between the blacks and whites.
1t is a new law and was found neces-
sary to protect society. One man has
just been arrested under the law. A
white man named Charles Hodgson
married a negro and the latter no
doubt got the worst end of the bar
gain.- Wilmington Messenger.
Men, muscle and money-these are
what are needed to develop North
Carolina and make her what she has
every natural capacity for being. the
greatest State in the Union.-Nah-
ville Argonaut.
Don't always be objecting to what is
proposed to be done, simply because
you did not propose it, when per-
chance you never take a leading part
in planning anything for the genera!
good.-Durham Sun
Who ever heard of impressing a
negro by an argument They are
creatures of instinct, and full of suspi-
cion; consequently the moment you
begin to argue with one, and the more
you pursue it, the more you arouse his
suspicion and make his race prejudices
more active.-Goldsboro Argus.
We feel moved to say that vigorous
colportage with good books should be
pushed throughout the country. A
man who would like to do great deal
Of good might organize company
for the State and make it pay
Greensboro Workman.
There is Democratic colored
league in Pennsylvania. They think
the Republican party is not duly
recognizing the colored voters of that
State in distributing Offices. They
also advise the negroes of the South
to ally themselves with the people of
their section of the country, with
whom their interests should be identi
tical, rather than STIR up strife by adj
herring to the Republican party"
Good advice, but Singing psalms to
dead horse" would be as profitable -
Wilmington Messenger.
Miss Anderson, who is having good
time over in Scotland, is said TO be
much amused at the stories that are
published from time to time i'll Amer
lean newspapers 1t is right funny
for her to- know that she is not wasted
invalid nor verging on insanity.--
There isn't much fun in teaching
school in Mississippi. when half
dozen sires wait on the roadside an,.
pummel teacher half to death for
trying TO pound knowledge into the
wrong end of their bnys.- Wilmington
Star.
Now is the time for the Alliance
men to stand firm and see that an hon
est effort is made all along the line to
introduce cotton bagging. The hen
efts will be not only to break the jute
trust, but to supply work to our Gotten
mills and to create a new demand tor

should lead to strong effort to
accomplish the purpose. Let there be
no backing down.-RaLeigh Neacs and
Observer.
Every time bright, ambitious
youth goes out and gets something to
do he is pointed to at once as witness
to show that North Carolina had no
appreciation IF him. Perhaps if he
had remained he would have done as
vel as he has done abroad and bet
ter. We have lived long and trav-
elled from Connecticut to the Gull of
Mexico, and we have seen but few
States that, as desirable home, COM
pares with our own Wilmington

At this writing it looks as ifnothing
will be done to discover the lynchers
of Stack. There has been a virtuous
display of Indignation, but as far as
The Chronicle can see there has been
voice and voice only. What is wanted
is that the county commissioners OF
Burke offer rewards for the apprehen,
sion of those engaged in the lynching
and that Governor Fnwle exercise his
power in The premises, and not content
himself with a mere pronunciamentt
on lynching i'll general Charlotte
Chronicle.
