NEGROES SHOULD NOT VOTE.
John Mitchell Advises Them To stay
Away from the Polls.

"For a long time the white people Of
this country have held themselves above
as negroes, but since Mr. Cleveland went
into office something has dropped, and
now we are all on the same plane-all as
poor as church mice"
These words were uttered by John
Mitchell. the negro politician Of Jackson
Ward, last night, in a speech he made
from the balcony OF Richmond Hall to
about go negroes who cheered him to
the echo. The meeting was called by
Mitchell in order that he might have a
chance 10 make public his sentiments
regarding the Republican leaders in this
State, and a brass band, headed by a
transparency bearing the words:
Mitchell will speak tonight at Rion-
mond Hail." marched through the streets
drumming up the crowd.
John Madison, the negro who aspired
10 be Mayor Of Richmond, was in the
crowd, and, with small following, at
tempted to break the meeting up, but he
was soon squelched, and Mitchell reigned
supreme He spent some time in a TRADE
OF abuse against Judge Waddill, Edgar
Allan, and Nick Smith, and openly ac-
cused several negroes, whom he desig-
mated by name of having been paid by
the leaders 20 rob their fellow-men. He
then spoke OF the hard times that were
expressing US, aud said as the Republican
party offered no remedy therefor, and the
negro was opposed TO the principles OF
Democracy II would be as we'll for the
negroes to stay away from the polls
and let the white Republicans fight their
battles alone.
Mitchell said Judge Waddill and Mr..
yttf
with a view to feathering their own
nests and said he knew that it WIS all
arranged now that in event OF McKin-
ley's election Judge Waddill would be
made United States District Judge, and
Mr. Aian's son would get the district
attorneyshiD.
The colored alderman paid his respects
TO Mr. Nick Smith, and, referring to the
rope which was stretched at the Audi
torum on the occasion OF Harrison's
speech 20 keep the negroes from coming
in contact with the white auditors said
this was the work of Mr.. Smith, "A man
who hadn't been too good TO sell whiskey
to negroes. He was too good to sit by
US there. at a Republican meeting" said
John; wen be too good 10 stand by him
IN line at the polls, and we will leave
him on the ID of November TO carry
Richmond for the Republicans. II he
can"
Mitchell spoke OF the time when he
fought to seat Judge Waddill over Hon.
George d. Wise, and said il he had TO
fight that battle over again. he would
rather be found fighting for Mr.. Wise.
Jackson Wards leader continued for
some time to discuss the frauds perpe-
trated by the Republican leaders, and
paid n tribute to Governor OFerrall for
f~r.. Il, oar Ion
concluding his speech with discussion
of the currency question.
Resolutions were adopted by the meet
ing denouncing the Republican ring. and
"a committee was appointed TO suggest
"some plan OF action o. inaction."

KILLED IN A FOOTBALL GAME.
No Investigation lct Into Circum-
stances of YoJ ng Biaylock's Death.

The death of young Charles Blaylock,
which resulted from injuries sustained by
him while participating in football
game last Thursday afternoon, is one OF
the saddest recorded here in many
months. and though the county authori-
ties have not yet taken cOgnizance OF the
affair, an investigation into the circum-
stances Of the young mans death may be
had.
Young Blaylock. who was only 10 years
of age, was playing football Thursday
with a lot Of boys and young men on the
corner OF Taylor and Meadow streets
west Of the corporate limits though his
parents, who realized the dangers he sub
iected himself TO, had requested him 10
refrain therefrom.
The game had been I'm progress about
one hour, when a heavy mass play was
made by the side which young Blayloch
was opposing. In the excitement two or
three of his opponents lifted the youn6
man high up from the earth and then
dashed him violently to the ground ana
piled upon him. The unfortunate youth
called to the players to get off him, saying
he was badly hurt. His cries were either
unheard o. misunderstood in the wild
scufIle for the ball. Finally the pigskin
was seen going in another direction, ana
ne was Immediately released. Blaylock
got I'D and told his companions his back
was injured. so he withdrew from the
game. II appeared that he was only
slightly hurt at first. but, as already
stated, I'm a few days the result was
shown to be very serious.
Mr.. Blaylock went home later in the
evening but told his parents nothing OF
the accident. Friday he went hunting
taking a long walk. and after returning
home his injuries began to assume Sc
fious aspect. He became worse on Satur-
day. but refused TO have physician His
father sat up with him the following
night. The young man did not complain,
but showed pain in his face, and answered
not when his father asked him if he was
suffering He gradually grew worse and
became unconscious. and on Monday
night at $50 o'clock his sufferinss were
relieved by death.
The funeral was conducted at Ran
dolph-Street church Wednesday morning
at IL o'clock.
