The Democrat. (Scotland Neck, Halifax Co., N.C.) 1884-1896, 1889-04-11

And if one of his race should differ
with him in politics, he ls ostrscized
at once, and for fear Of ostracism
they are driven to stand tog ther on
all issues raised between the two
parties. They carry the prlncip es
of ostracism SO far, that they hav,
refused to send their children to a
public school taught by 2olore
man who SPLIT his ticket and voted
for one Democrat in this county in
the last election. The history OF
the world proves conclusively to q
demonstration that as O people they
IRE not capable of self government
For more than two thousand years
they have lived in the wilds
of Africa as heather, barbarians
and cannibals-go to the West Indie
Islands, and there you will ind 81

where you may, and wherever you
find the colored man as people,
there you will find him In his wild
savage uncultlvated state,
Where you find him living with
and among white people, there you

The colored man in America is in
much higher state Of civilization
than in the jiu giles Of Africa, his n&>
tive home. And in America the
father North you 90, the more intel
ligent and the more civilized you
find the colored man.
In North Carolina and Virginig
the colored man is superior man ir
general information, intelligence,an
civilization to his colored brother In
South Carolina, Georgia, or Ala
hama.
In New York and other Northern
States he is more intelligent still
This superior intelligence come
from the fact that the further NortL
you 60, the fewer colored people you
find, and they come oftener IN con
tact with white people, because
there is no other people to rut
against.
Wherever there is large numbe.
OF colored people as in South Caro-
lima, Mississippi and other Southern
States, they herd together ami come
but seldom in contact with white
people therefore they gather rather
by attrition consequently are more
ignorant and superstitlous.
For instance go on one of the
large river farms, where hundreds
and sometimes thousands herd to
gether and barely ever come in con,
tact with white people, there you
will find them much more ignoranI
and unlntelllgent than IN the piny>
woods where not more than hal
dozen or a dozen locate on one farm
aud come in contact daily and
oftener with white people. Go te
the small villages and towns, and
there you find the most intelligent
class of colored people. Why? Be-
cause they come in contact with
and rub so to speak against white
people hourly.
The colored man learns and de-
vslops by sttritlon and absorption
great deal more and faster than s
white man. This because be relies
upon thst source Of information snG
because he is more imitative thar

Now you are ready TO say, if al
