Ferebee, Hayes and Others will collect
the negroes and ship them southward to
fill orders from planters and labor agents,
thus taking the places Of the labor agents
who, in the early part of The present year,
sysarfned into the State and carried away

AS news items are hard TO find will,
Mr.. Editor, with your permission, make a
suggestion that I have been thinking on
for some time, which is this: That all your
correspondents living near enough meet
in the INTELL1aENoER Office some time
near the Christmas holidays and get ac-
quainted with each other, and thus en-
courage, to greater efforts in the future to
furnish the dear old INrELL1GENcER any
news of importance that is going. 7, for
one, would be glad to meet all the CORES
pondents and learn who they are I
hope all the correspondents will signify
their will one way or another at their ear
liest convenience.
Also, Mr.. Editor, your views. as to
whether it is advisable and meets your
approval or not, will be expected.

this lamentable state Of affairs. The rem
edies for the same were laid before his
hearers, and he dwelt at some length upon
the permanency of the Alliance, showing
that it was an Institution that had come
here and come to stay. After pointing
out many of the advantages existing in
this organization, he closed with an appeal

RALEIGH, N. g., Sept. 10, 1S89.-The
exodus of the negroes from North Carroll.
ma began last January, and is now, after
cessation of four months, to be resumed.
By turns the allegation has been made
that there we're political, social and reli-
gious reasons for the exodus, but il is now
we'll known that the labor agents in Ar.
kansas, Mississippi and Louisiana were
not only the originators of the movement
but have kept the agitation in existence.
There appears to be no political aspect of
the matter whatever, and it is very safe
to say that three tifths of the white people
while looking on the negro with not the
least unkindness, will be glad to see him
leave the State. OF course not few
wish the negroes to remain and say the
State cannot afford to lose them as labor.
ers.
But the people who lend color and
interest to the exodus movement are, of
course, the blacks themselves, and your
correspondent accordingly went to them
for information regarding it.
Stewart Ellison, a leading colored man,
for years we'll known in republican poll.
tics, was very frank in expressing his
views, and took strong ground against the
exodus under the conditions which at
present govern it. He has never attend.
ed the meetings in the interest of the
movement, which are held weekly by his
race aud which are always largely attend.
ed. He said the condition of the negro
in North Carolina is not satisfactory.
Wages for farm hands vary from Sc to So
per month, with food. Under such a
condition the negro cannot make any
beadway. There are many persons un-
employed who also want change. But
he opposes removal from their old homes
10 such manner to country OF which
they know nothing beforehand.
BAD REPORTS FROM THE EAlIGRANTs.
The greater part of those who left the
State in the past winter and early spring
are scattered through Arkansas and Mis-.
sissippi. The reports which are brought
back from them there, Mr.. Ellison says,
are bad, indeed. They are dying, and
the mortality among young children has
been and is great. He declares that he
cannot see why they should risk their
lives and abandon all comforts to 60 to
those Mississippi bottoms just for few
dollars.
What may be called the exodus fever,
Mr.. Ellison added, ha. struck deeply
among the six hundred thousand negroes
in this State. The leaders Of the movement
are negro preacher, Rev l. II. Ferebee;
a colored lawyer, Isaiah Hayes, beth OF
Raleigh, and George w. Price, also col.
ored, of Wilmington. They have been
on tour through the southwest as com.
