A EIGHTY INQUIRY.
charlotte Chronicle.l


Whatever the proyocation, the lynching
of Robert Berrier last night at Lexington
is another blow at the sovereignty of the
State.
BERRIER was in the hands of the law land
there was no reason to apprehend his es
cape, nor was there apparent reason to
fear the courts would be slow to mete out
justice.
The power of the State was mocked,
and the majesty Of the law outraged, to
satisfy the thirst for revenge of large
number of individuals, who preferred to
crafty their own Indignation to obeying
the laws of the State.
The mans guilt, which is conceded, is
no justification for the deed; and unless
some speedy and effective means are taken
Law in North Carolina, it is horrible to
contemplate what must be the legitimate
result
That the citizens of Lexington opposed
the lynching, is highly to their credit; and
it is only pity that Lexington is not
possessed Of a military company which
could have been called out to defend the
majesty of the law from the deadly as
sault made upon it by he lynchers.
The issue is being rapidly brought to a
focus in this State: Can the laws of the
State be enforced!

THE NEGRO EXODUS.
The Yazoo Delta is the Land of Prom

George W. Price, the Wilmington negro
who is at the head of the negro exodus
movement, was in Raleigh last week. He
says the negroes want to get away from
the Wilmington section faster than trans
portation can be provided for them. He
finds that few are leaving this section of
the State. Isaiah G. Hayes, the Raleigh
colored lawyer says they are all heading
for the land of promise, the Yazoo delta.
He states that some of them are sending
money there and buying lands. Twenty

People complain Of the dishonesty of
negroes as a class. Negroes are no more
so than any other class Of people in like
circumstances. If you were to treat your
servants honestly and not give them half
pay as you do, there would be less temp
tation to them to steal. Some people
would say, "You will bring about race
trouble, you are an agitator. No | won't.
It's you who are breeding tr0lble that
will surely descend on your children some
day"
At the elections let your young men
swear that these are the honest returns
and you perjure them. You had better
take the Shot gun and run the niggers out
of the country than to breed trouble of
thi, kind and damn the souls Of your
children. God amt agoin' to allow it.

But its not south of Mason and Dixon S
line that this kind of dishonesty goes on.
