SALISBURY, N. G., May 6, 1890.
| noticed in the Chronicle of Mon
day that the name of Major J. S. Carr
was mentioned as possibility for the
gubernatorial honors and responsible
ties of the State. 1t is my opinion
that Mr.. Carr deservedly merits the
distinction and that he is eminently
qualified for the office.
1t is my growing impression-pro-
duced by more causes than one-whlch
is rapidly deepening into conviction
that it would be better for the negroes
in the South to be more independent
in municipal, county and State pol
itics and vote for good and fair
minded men instead of mere partizans
as such. If Mr.. Carr were nominated
for the position of Governor it is my
observation that he would get good
percentage Of the more thoughtful col
ored vote of the State. While am a
Republican it would not take me a
hundred years to make up my mind TO
vote for North Carolina's patriot and
philanthropist-Maj. J. S. Carr-as a
most worthy successor to his Excel
lency Governor D. G. Fowle.

A Letter to Col. Shepard.

A few days before tine unveiling Of
the Lee statue in Richmond, that de-
lectable old fraud and hypocrite, Col.
Elliott F. Shepard, editor of the New
Yoek Mail and Express, spewed out
a dose Of his accustomed bile and bel
licose stuff as is his wont. Among
other things he said he wanted Con-
gress to pass a law prohibiting the
erection of any monuments to the
memory of traitors, and the display of
rebel rags (aags) on any and all such
occasions as the approaching event at
Richmond. He paved and beloved,
and kicked up a dust, to be sure, but
he did not throw sand enough in any
body's eyes to keep them from seeing
through this malicious attack, which it
is we'll to state is neither felt nor cared
for in the South. The editorial referred
to called forth the follwing sarcastic
letter from gentleman of Richmond,
ex- Judge Richardson, as we find in
one of the papers of that city:
The denunciations Of Colonel Elliot
f. Shepard of the New York Mail and
Express, of the people of the people
of Richmond for the resurrecting the
Confederate flags, has called fourth
the letter from ex-Police Justice ]. &.
Richardson. The letter was mailed
to Mr. Shepard today and is addressed
to "Elliot F. Shepard, Esq, (some
times called Colonel"), and says:
We have heretofore been of opinion
that the constitution our fathers made
guaranteed to the citizens of the several
States the enjoyment of life and liberty,
but your recent editorial breathes of
threatenings and slaughter, and we
quake and tremble We have thought
that in pursuit of happiness we would
receive the protection of this great
government, but in seeking to pro-
mote our happiness the all potent
Mail aud Express interposes its stern
command to prevent us.
We hoped the favor would have
been granted us to do honor to the
memory of our loved one, but the ed-
torial dictator prohibits US from doing
SO. We therefore ask that you will re-
lent in your wrath, fold the ensan
guined garment, realize that the war is
over, allow the holiest emotions Of hu
marity to find place in your bosom,
and permit US, the citizens of a COM
mon country, to obey the promptings
of loving hearts and honor the memo
ry of that great and good man, Gen
eral Robert F. Lee.
IT this favor should be granted US
we cordially invite you to be present,
and to show our gratitude we promise
you all the notoriety you seek by pub
licly exhibiting you before half mil
lion of our people as the only man in
this country who has ever conceived
the thought that our desire to honor
our dead meant disloyalty to the
! Union.
