THE WOMEN PROTEST.
Scotland Neck Democrat.)

Every man in the State ought to read
the article in Sundays News and OBJ
server written by Mr.. o. w. Blacknall,
of Kittrell. He has struck a keynote
of truth that is seldom touched. 1t is
a fact that the white women of the
South do live in mortal dread of assault
and outrage.
And the women of North Carolina for
ten days have been whispering protests
against their sex, in its purity, being sub
jected to the double outrage that was
heaped upon Miss Mamie Catlett in
Henderson, by being compelled to go
into open court and detail before the
curious crowd the particulars of a crime
whose Nervousness the English language
is too poor to express. The fair sex of
purity protest silently, but powerfully,
against their sisters passing through such
ordeals any more-ordeals who's ques-
tions and answers were too shocking to
go into print. This whole thing must
stop. The crime first; and if the crime
does not stop, there ought to be a way
of getting the truth without dragging
n trembling girl into courts to be sub
jected to second outrage.
Can the Legislature take cognizance
of the matter?

YOU MUST SHOW YOUR COLORS.
Public Ledger

We are white man and believe in
the AnglO-Saxon rule, and further say
that the time has arrived when every
white man must decide whether he is a
white man with n white heart or mis-
cradle negro lover with white skin and
and black heart. Every man, true man,
who has any respect for the family of
his bosom, the protection and purity and
cha astity of our fair daughters, must
cease to be on a social equality with
those who prefer negro rule. 1t is moth
ing more than right: let him go where
he belongs, and let every true man see
that the line between a negro lover is
indelibly drawn. In other words, decide
whether you are a white man in favor
of white mans government or negro
rule placed upon us by black-hearted,
corrupt white men. Which side are you
on? The time has arrived when you
must say. If you decide to be in favor
of negro domination over your own race,
and thus by your acts assent willingly
to every act that tends to degrade our
white sons and daughters. then you
must necessarily find no social consider
alton at the bands of any true Anglo
Saxon family.

THE POOR MANS FRIEND.
Jacksonville Times.

The Railroad Commission increased
the assessment of railroad property
about 10 per cent; but when they met as
the State Board of Equalization they
jumped on the poor fellow with one
steer and house full Of young ones
with both feet, and increased the value
of his property from 10 to 1000 per
cent The reasons for such actions is ap-
parent to all. The reformers must have
more money to pay increased salaries;
the railroads will fight an increase Of
taxes-the poor farmers must grin ana
pay the increase or go to Jail.

THE PARTY OF THE FUTURE.
Wilmington Messenger.)

The opinion is growing, perhaps, rap
idly crystalizing, that there must be an
earnest. determined campaign fought in
North Carolina for the supremacy of the
white race, and it will be started with
all needed vigor probably next year.
The decent people of Anglo-Saxon de-
scent are remarkably tired of the ras-
calities and lawlessness of these times,
are disgusted at the turbulence, brazen
effrontery, deceitfulness and treachery
of the new-fedged leaders now to the
front, and of the bad laws enacted by
the last two utterly ignorant, incapable
and unfaithful Legislatures. A party in
spired by patriotism, a love of their
race, thorough fidelity to eternal prin-
ciples of right and justice and honor
and manhood will be the probable out
cCme next year.

Euger to Resent an Alleged Insult
to an American Woman.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Represen-
tative Cummings, Of New York, has
introduced a resolution requesting the
secretary Of state to give the house of
representatives any information he
may have concerning the incident OF
the stripping Of three lady passengers
on board the United States mail stea M
er OIivette in the ilarbor of Havana by
Spanish soldiers and detectives. The
resolution recites that the alleged oc-
currence was described in a New York
paper.
The resolution was referred to the
committee on foreign affairs, and a re-
port is expected next week. Mr.. Cum
mingS said as to the resolution: IF an
English woman on an English vessel
had been stripped by Spanish officials,
as it has been alleged that an Areri-
can woman was stripped. within forty
eight hours MORO Castle would come
down, or some apology would be made
for it. 1 doubt even if Japan would
have stood it. Furthermore, if the
American government stands it, in my
opinion, it Indicates a total loss of
manhood and the keenest sympathy
with savage humanity"

GEN. SHELBY DEAD.


KANSAS. CITY, Feb 13.-Gen. J. o.
Shelby died at his country home, eight
miles from Adrian, Mo, at 4 o'clock
this morning. The patient had been
unconscious since early Monday morn
ing, and had been slowly dying since
that time. At consultation of physi-
clans last night it was given out that
death must come before morning, and
the family had been constant watchers
at the bedside of the dying general. Gen.
Shelby was taken seriously i'll ten days
ago, with pneumonia, and gradually
grew worse. His vitality was great,
however, and his friends and family had
hopes that he would overcome the dis
ease, and indeed, half a dozen times
since then, when given up to die, the
patients remarkable recuperative pow
ers asserted themselves, and each time
revived. During all Of last Sunday
night, and most of Monday the patient
talked continually in an irrational way
At times. he recognized those about
him, but it was only for a moment,
when he would again lapse into a coma
tOse or GeliriouS state. He began to
sink RAPIDLY Tuesday morning, and
in a few moments his pulse was al
most impercepitble. Until that mo-
merit, Mrs. Shelby, who had been con-
startly at the generals bedside, be
lieved that he would survive, and then
gave way, Frustrated with grief and
physical and mental strain. Later, Gen.
Shelby revived somewhat, but remain
ed unconscious until death and practi-
cally took TO medicine or nOurishment.
Definite arran gements for the funeral
have not yet been made. but it is be-
lieved that Gen. Shelby will be buried
in Kansas City, where his family re-
