WEsLEY CHAPEL ALLIANCE,

w SLEY CHAPEL ALL1ANCE,
Blackburn, N. c., Oct. %, 1889.
Mr. EDFroR:-It seems to me that
It. is time for a sketch of our Alliance,
No. 1913, to appear in your excellent
paper to let brother. Alliancemen
know that we are in existence if moth
ing more. Our Alliancewas organized
about ten months ago with about 10
members. Now we have on the roll
20 with n application. We have
nearly all the material worked up In
the vicinity, yet there are a few good
men out of the Alliance that will drop
In as they see the good workings of
the order. Our Alliance is in a -four
ishing condition. We have been, and
are still yet, working as a band Of
brothers for the good of u cause.
We are working in unison with the
whole Alliance. We are using no
new jute bagging to wrap u cotton.
We are acting in accordance with the
National Cotton Committee for as.
much so as possible) in selling our
cotton, although our cotton crops are
very short-will not exceed more
than half o crop, therefore it is impos
sible for us to hold much of our cot
ton as the fertilizer bill and other bills
must be paid.
We havelpassed resolutions in our
Alliance to discard jute bagging en-
tirely for 1890 and use nothing but
the cotton. I hope that every Alliance
i'm the cotton States will take like action
and show the iute combines whether
or.not they will force Mr.7Jute on rs
in 1890. The Alliance is o a great
power in the land and we should not
stop till we put down every trust
and combine and oppression against
the laboring class. |
Now, brother farmers and laborers,
let US put on the whole armor of
farmers and laborers and work not
only with our hands but with our
brains and the whole power we
possess. We hold the power of this
land, as it were, in the palm of our
hand, if we were wise enough to know
it, and / feel sure that we will be
brought to a sense of our duty
through this grand and most excel
lent lodge, the Alliance, and then
working as a unit las all good ALI
will do) we can look in the
near future and see the light dawning.
Then bearing and working with
patience a a few years we may be
able to cry out with one voice we are
again in the land of liberty.
Now one word as to your paper. I
am a reader of your exc sllent paper,
and am gratiied with its contents;
think it should be in every household.
I hope 1 may soon be able to send
you some subscribers. Wishing your
paper q hearty patronage and much
success, / am
F~raternally yours,
G. M. YoDEs, Lec'y.

Another E-ynching.

UPPER MARLBORO. Md, December g.
about go O'Clock this morning a band
Of MASKED mCn came to the Jail, over
powered the keeper and broke open the
tcll of Joe Nermllion, took him out and
lynchcd him on the bridge leading to this
village. As soon as J. \, Ridgewa.. ,
the jail keeper opened the door, two men
grabbed him and covered him with pis-
!ols. They then went up stairs, broke
pen the cell, took the prisoner, put n
rope about his neck, then dragged him
TO the bridge and Immediately executed
Jhcir work. His body is still hanging
waiting an inquest during the day.
Vernillion was hard case, and was
charged with repeated acts Of incendi-
arism from motives of revenge. His
father and several brothers and brother
in-law are supcCted of similar offences,
and several members o! the family arc
row in Jail here. The Vcrmiion family
had legitimate grudge against the
neighborhood; in fact on November
%, John Nermilliou, father Of the man
hanged to-day, was taken from his cabin
by a band of unknown men. tied to a
tree and compelled to witness the burn,
ing of his own house, and then promise
to leave the county. Revenge for this
act is supposed to have inspired the in
ccndiarv acts which led to to-dav'S lynch.

This is caption u' a locHl in the Even
ing Journal of Yesterday, and most
suitable captiop it is, because our brother
has assuredly given Il legal surprise TO
every lawyer in Ashcvillr, t. the city au-
thoritics, and doubtless to Major W. W.
McD"wcIl, the plaintiff in the suit referred
It" when he states that "thc avenue with
the city railway upon ii, reverts to the
original ownvrS Of the land"
The facts OF the case are, that some
two years ago jury vas summoned to
assess damages IN a street now known
as Southsihc avenue, Il part OF winch was
located upon lands ct Major Mcdowell
who appealed from the finding of the
jury, as hc had Il right to do, only on the
point llat he had no: been awarded
adequate damages. Under the proSs-
ions OF the city charter this appeal did
not operate t. prevent the opening of the
street, but, upon rendering the amount OF
damage awarded by the jury. The mavor
had right to order the work to pro-
coed. This was done, and the avenue
was opened, and afterwards, by virtue
of an ordinance of the board Of aldermen,
the Ashcville Street Railway Company
located thereon its principal line.
On Yesterday, Major McDowelrs ap-
peal came up for hearing in the superior
court, and Mr.. T. H. Cobb, attorney for

WRONGS OF THE NEGROES
In many parts of our country where the
cOlored population is large, the people OF
that race arc by various devices deprived
0t any effective exercise of their political
rights and of many of their civil rights.
The wrong docs not e&pcnd itself upon
those whose votes are suppressed. Every
constituent in the union is wronged. 1t
mas been the hope OF every patriot that
a sense of Justice and of respect for the
law would work gradual cure of these
lagrant evils. Surely no one sup
nuSes that the present can be accepted
- permanent condition. If it is said
that tHt>l communities must work
out this problem for themselves, We
ave right to ask whether they are a
work upon it DO they suggest any So

stances and conditions is the black man
10 have a free ballot? When is he, in fact.
TO have those full civil rights which have
so long been his in law? When is that
rQuali.S OF influence which our form OF
government was intended to secure to
the electors to bc restored? This gencr-
.tion SHOULD COurageously face these
grave questions and not leave them as
trrita%cS q! war to the next. The con

almncSs and great patience, upon the
lines of justice and humanity, not OF
prejudice.
