LET US INVITE THEM HOME.

White supremacy, the imperative
aeed of which is daily becoming more
apparent. can only be secured by re-
uniting the whites who gave it to us
for twenty rs.-Fayetteville OBJ
server.
This is true. Let US invite those who
went away to come back into the fold,
and help redeem the State from the dis
graceful rule that now curses it. There
are many evidences that they are will
ing to come back upon the issue of ''The
White Man and the White Metal" and
that the chief obstacle in the way is
selfish leaders who want to raise up new
issues to hold the masses to trade on to
get offices for themselves. We must
make our appeal to Caesar. Trading
politicians will never agree to anything
that does not keep them in office. The
voters are tired of "overseers," whether
bigger traders" railroad "manipula-
torsy@ or political traders. They are all
alike. and when they have used the peo-
pie for their own ends, they have no
further use for them.

JOSHUA SIMPKINS."

Joshua Simpkins," a pastoral play,
said to be on the order of the "Old
Homestead" and other like attractions,
comes to the Metropolitan Opera House
Friday, October 10Th. In the third act
a sensational saw mill scene is intro
duced, showing Uncle Josh Simpkins's
saw mill in actual operation, cutting up
real logs and timber, using a real, NAM
moth buzz saw, which is seen revolving
at frightful speed. The play does not,
however, depend on this one scene for
success, as there are several other
equally interesting scenes, and some
pleasing musical features.

A SUGGESTED QUERY.

a meeting Of the mckinley and Rus
sell Club" in Charlotte has been called.
1t would be in order to debate this
query: Resolved, That Russell, having
SurneH dae white blind school over
10 one negro, given the same
negro $1,000 job, and given
his daughter place at increased
salary, is a better friend to the negro
than Mckinley, unless the President APP
points the same negro Dim Young as
postmaster at Raleigh"
AS Pritchard and Russell have both
promised Jim Young the Raleigh post
office. there is no need to debate winch
of those two is the best friend OF the
negro. Both would turn the whole State
over TO the negroes if they could thereby
retain office themselves.

TRIED TO KILL HIS MISTRESS.
Charley Chavis Makes Deadly Swipe
at Geneva Dunn.

If ever a man richly deserved punish
ment it was Charley Chavis, colOred,
who was tried before Mayor Russ yes
terday morning for assaulting his mis-
tress. Geneva Dunn. with a knife, if her
story and that of her mother and anoth-
er woman named Burt, can be believed.
1t seemed from the evidence of all the
witnesses that Geneva and Charley had
been keeping company" for a long time
but for the last week or two things had
not been going smoothly. Geneva had
been Jealous Of one Lula Tucker and
Charley had not been pleased with at
tentions paid Geneva by Sam Brimley.
SO when Charley went to see Geneva
Monday night it did not improve his
temper to find Sam there. He sat on the
piazza and talked to Geneva's sister un-
til Sam left, then he went into the house,
asked Geneva for some things he had
left there and then started away. Before
getting out the gate, however, he turned
back, passed into the house, said he
thought he would go out the back way,
and asked Geneva to go with him part
of the way.
They hadn't got far when he said, ac-
cording to Geneva's testimony: Didn't
| tell you I'd kill you if you ever turned
me down for anybody else?
With that he whipped out his knife,
struck at her and cut her shirt waist as
she tore away, screaming, and ran back
toward the house. The neighbors came
out and saw Chavis as he ran away and
Geneva showed them the shirt waist,
cut by the knife and torn by Chavis as
she ran away.
The shirt waist with its cut and torn
sleeve were also shown on the trial. But
Chavis, apparently drinking, took the
stand. denied everything except going
to the house, claimed that the girl was
mad because he had given her up for
somebody else and kept declaring over
and over that he would kiss a stack of
Bibles high as heaven and swear that
he never tried to cut Geneva. He had no
witnesses but himself
The Mayor believed him and told him
| to go, and threatened to tax the costs
| against the woman, ON the ground that
! it was a malicious prosecution.
| She went away crying and saying that
she feared for her life and would now
have to leave town, as she believed
Chavis had intended to kill her and she
now feared he might carry out his pur-
| pose.

diction that the Populist party will be

he still has wheels in his head. BY the

who dominated and controlled the Peo-
ple's party organization in the last cam
paign, negotiated and consummated a
poEtical "dear' by which enough Popu-
list votes were traded off to the 'Nigger
Traders to reverse the entire internal
policy Of our State Now if that can be
called white mans party at all, in any
sense whatever, it is the kind of white
mans party that the News and Observer
does NOT want.
| VIII The Caucasian have itself disin-
fected and fumigated politically, and
cut loose from its "nigger trading" asso-
ciates, and join with the News and OBJ
server, not only in fighting the Rail
road Overseers," but also aid us in re-
storing the government of North Caro-
/ lima, State, county, city and town, to
the hands of pure minded, patriotic
white citizens who are opposed to the
present corrupt regime of political
"Nigger Traders?"
We pause for a reply.
Come out from cover now and show
your hand.
Tell the honest white men of the
Peoples party where The Caucasian
stands on this vital political subject.
Will The Caucasian longer advise the
good men of the Peoples party to sup
port for office men who have used, and
if they have the opportunity will again
use, their party organization for purely
trading purposes, to be bartered away
to a lot of white and black "Nigger
Traders" as was VIGOROUSLY done in
North Carolina in the last two cam
Ipaigns?
Does The Caucasian want to continue
and perpetuate the present regime under
political "Nigger Traders?'
While the ante-bellum "Nigger Trad
er" generally sold his negro slaves, one
by one, to a purchaser, the political
'Nigger Traders in North Carolina
Ibartered away and sold the negro voters
at the last election by the thousands and
tens of thousands, in job lots. Only a
day or two ago Mr.. Marsh Mott public
ly declared that but for his support as
chairman of the Republican State con-
vention, Russell could never have been
nominated for Governor, and be that as
it may, it is certainly shown by the
election returns that but for the support
of some ten thousand Populist votes
cast for him pursuant to the deal with
the Peoples party State Executive
Committee, Russell could never have
been elected Governor.
Does The Caucasian want to be un.
derstood as being still in favor of up
holding and defending the present re-
gime, and threatening the good white
people of the Peoples party as well as
the solid Democratic party of North
Carolina with the continuance of Negro
rule unless we are willing to submit
longer to this organization for spoils al
the hands of political 'Nigger TradersT
We do not believe the thirty thousand
IPopulists who stood by Guthrie to the
end in spite of the effort of the heads
of the Populist State Executive Com
Imittee to throw them to Russell and the
I"Nigger Traders" want that kind Of 6
white mans party, and we are positively
certain that the Democrats do NOT.
