THE NEGRO IN OFFICE.

The fact that the recently appoint
ed negro postmaster at Hogansville,
Georgia, was assaulted and shot a
few nights ago is being attributed to
the indignation of the people at such
an appointment. Whether or not
this is true we know not. If true, OF
course, those people have made a
great mistake in the method adopt
ed for resenting the insult. AS IN
pleasant as was the situation and as
resentful as were the white people of
the indignity placed upon them, at
tempted assassination was not the
remedy. The incident, however,
serves to emphasize the fact that
freedom from such an insult as was
offered the people OF Hogansville
and the maintenance OF white
supremacy in both National and
State affairs can only be secured by
placing government control in the
hands of the Democratic party.
Referring to the incident, the
Washington Post very properly con-
dennis the attempted assassination
and says, at the same time, it can
readily understand the spirit of re-
sentiment which eliminated in the
assault. 1t speaks of the aid extend
ed the negro in the South in his ad-
vancement, he being "allowed full
scope to succeed in the profession of
law or of medicine or in the remuner-
ative trades" st is only" says the
Post, "when he is placed in the posi-
ton of authority over the white man,
it is when he comes in close personal
contact with citizens, male and
female, of all classes, 10 the daily
distribution of mail, for instance,
that the pride of race asserts itself
and the deplorable events occur
which we have occasion now to con-
denim"
The Post says, further, whether
the President would act wisely in
continuing to appoint negroes to
Office in the South is serious ques
tt IN" and concludes it's article as
follows:
"And ifnegroes are to be appoint
ed In the South, let them also be ap.
pointed in the North, where they
ought to be welcomed as office-hold-
ers with open arms. Let us see if the
North or the East or the West will
accept the new dispensation without
question-aye, with even cordial
approval. We have our doubts, but
certainly there ought to be no Sec
tioDaiism in this matter. The negro
should be q Federal Office holder in
the North or East or West, and not
alone in the South, where. of all
places, his appointment is most at

PLAN OF TRICKSTERs.

1t seems clear that a great effort
will be made in the next campaign in
this State to divert attention from
Encouragement of affairs under
Rep Pop. government. If there is
anything that the political tricksters
dread it is the searchlight of truth
turned upon their own misdeeds and
they will attempt to escape the doom
which they deserve at the hands of
the honest and liberty-loying people
of North Carolina by an effort to
keep their disgraceful record in the
shadow through the raising of
demagogical issues to appeal to the
prejudices of the people.
Touching upon this subject, the
Charlotte Observer says:
"The campaign upon this line has
already begun. The people of North
Carolina will be indefensibly foolish
if they allow themselves next year to
take counsel of their passions in
stead of their senses. We should
think they had had enough of listen
ing to appeals to their prejudices by
demagogic editors and politicians,
seeing the bog they are in
Certainly it seems that the people
of North Carolina haye been suffici-
emily amused with the bartering and
corruption and with the broken
promises of Rep.-Pop government
and that they will kick out of Office
at the very first opportunity the
demagogues who have so 1agrantly
deceived them and proven recreant
to the trusts confided to them.
The Democratic party is the only
party thaG gives honest and just
government to the State; the only
party that # ords sense of personal
aud property security; the only
party that furnishes absolute con-
| fidence as to the maintenance OF
State and County credit; the only
party that insures white supremacy
| in the administration of q white
man g government. Past and pres
ent Experience both emphasize these
important facts, and foolish indeed
will be the people if they fail to re
store to power the only party that
vouchsates these blessings, without
which the people cannot be prosper
Gus, contented and happy.

publicans, as well as honest Demo

the present state of affairs, and
unless we are the victims of mis-
placed confidence in the wisdom o
the people, no words or deeds o
trickery on the part of the dema
gogues can again fool the voters into
perpetuating the reign of such dis
reputable gang.

So many testimonials are coming

were not followed by organization.
while in this instance the movement
is to be continued by the organize
ton OF the Anti-Saloon League.

power to close the saloons and to
elect municipal officers who will not
only keep them closed, but will i'm
press the blind tiger folks with the
fact that "the way of the transgres-

AGAINST THE SALOON.

On the surface, it looks as If the
open saloon in Winston will be a
back number after the next munich
pal election.
The fact that Sunday afternoon
W. C. T. q. of more than one hum
dred members was organized and
that at the same time something like
fifteen hundred men and boys signi-
fed purpose to organize an Anti
Saloon League, are links in the chain
of circumstances that point to the
closing of the saloon.
The question that deserves serious
consideration is, will this fervor in
behalf of solriety and against the
disgraceful liquor traffic continue :?
If an election should be held within
the next few days, while the influences
which flow from the gospel temper
ance meeting are alive, the probabili-
ty is that a majority OF the voters
would register their condemnation
of the death dealing and demoraliz
ing saloons ana declare that the
cesspools of iniquity shall no longer
have a place among us. But how
will it he when the election time rolls
around?
All of us remember how at the
Sam Jones meeting hundreds of men
promised to do everything within
their power to suppress the liquor
traffic, and how at the Bill Fife
meeting hundreds gave their hands
to the Evangelist upon a similar
proposition, and yet the open saloon
is still with us prosecuting it's dan
gerous and damaging work. The
kind of faith that avails, the kind OF
effort that succeeds is that which lie
instant out of season as well as In
season. That is to say, if the saloon
Is to be closed there must be fixed
and determined purpose to close it
a purpose just as fixed, if not so
enthusiastic, when a revival is not
in progress as it is when a revival is
in progress. 1t is necessary to have
men enlisted in the cause who will at
all times support the right because it
is right and who will always con-
denim the wrong because it is wrong.
If the liquor traffic is wrong, as we
believe it is, it is wrong today, to-
morrow and all the time, and should
be strenuously opposed by all who
are against the wrong, today, to-
morrow and all the time.
Now, will the present effort prove
more potent and more lasting and
more effective than the previous
efforts referred to? There are indi--
cations that 1t will, for the reason,

STRUCK HOME
Cuba's Hardest and Most Effective
Blow for Liberty.

The taking of the town of Victoria
de las Tunas by the Cuban insurg-
ents is the beginning of the end.
General Calixto Garcia celebrated
his elevation to the craftsmanship of
the rebel army by the most effective
blow that has been struck during the
present war for independence. This
was no guerilla fight, doubtful in
issue and barren OF result He laid
seige to a fortified town, destroyed
the forts and over their ruins
charged to victory. After this even
Wey Ter cannot persist in his hopeful
lie that the re oels are scattered,
desperate, half armed fugitives.
General Gdrcia's artillery was
enough to silence the guns that
defended Tunas. The arms and
munitions of war he captured will
equip a new corps. The work of
freeing Cuba should now progress by
bounds Spain has not a general in
Cuba equal to Garcia in military
skill. He has begun the campaign
by assuming the aggressive, and the
next big news from Cuba will be the
fall of one of the important seaports.
The rebels have almost ceased to
hope for recognition of belligerency
from the United States, but they
have compelled one from Spain
When Spain accepted the prisoners
taken at Tunas in return for cap
tured insurgents even her technical
denial of a state of war was
abandoned

ANOTHER GREAT CROWD.
Evang list Lees Sermon on Reconci
iation, Last Night

Evahg list Lees Sermon on Reconcil- |
iation, Last Night.
Evangelist Lee preached to another |
big crowd at the tent Monday nights
Four or five persons made profession
at the after meeting, besides pum-
Der who had been out of the church
for some time gave their names and
reconsecrated themselves to God and
his church.
Reconciliation" was the subject of
the Evargelist's discourse. His text
said:
Reconciliation consists of two
parts Reconciliation of God to the
| world. Reconciliation of the world to
| God.
With the first part the Christian
| ministry has very little to do. For
! the great work OF Christ in redemp-
tion was the reconciliation Of God to
man.
| God has of His own grace provided
scheme of Reconciliation whereby He
can be just and the justifier of all VINO
believe in Jesus.
| Full and ample provision for the re-
demption and Reconciliation of all
, men was made on Gods part when
Christ died. Gods remedy for sin is
as extensive as the disease; but the
enjoyment of the benefits resulting
fron the atonement, depends entirely
on the active appropriating faith of
| each individual penitent sinner: on
the acceptance Of gift Of pardon.
Guilt is cancelled only when the sim
ner complies fully with the conditions
of the gospel, and by faith accepts
the pardon OF God.
With the second part, that is 1.-The
Reconciliation of the World to Cod"
we as Christians have much to do.
The special work of every Christian
is to endeavor to Reconcile the world
to God. This world is at war with
God Rebellion.
WHAT Is RECONCILIATION?
To adjust; to settle dispute; to
plcify; TO appease; to reunite; the
restoration OF friendship between two
parties who have been at variance.
Reconciliation is the restoration of
mutual friendship between God and
the sinner. 1t restores us to the
| special favor of God, and enables Us to
act in unison with the will o!
God 1t enables mans rebellious will
to run parallel with Gods will, until
it is tnaliy blended with Gods will
Sin has produced diScoTd, and put
US out of harmony with heaven. Re
Cancellation removes every ObStruc
tion and restores that harmony. Have
/ you not noticed musicians striking
chords and keying their instruments
until they perfectly accord and har

THE KLONDIKE CRAZE.
Tales Of Narrowing Experience
Brought From Alaska.

Tales Of Narrowing Experience
Brought From Alaska.
Washington Post.
Il have just returned from Sat
tle," said Mr. John 81. Lannahan, of
Charlotte, N. c., yesterday afternoon
at Willard's, land have learned all
that want to know about the trip
to Xlondyke The eold -crazed PEG
pie who are just now making their
way to the Western sea coast cities,
with the hope of being able to catch
vessel bound for Alaska, have no
idea of what awaits them. In Seat
tie there are hundreds of persons
waiting for q steamer. Many who
have been there for some weeks and
have been unable to secure passage
are now retracing their footsteps
and returning to the homes they left
only a short while ago amid feverish
excitement and impatience They
come back from the West sad and
sorry lot, but when the true story of
this winters suffering in the gold
region becomes known they will
thank their heavenly Father that
they were unable to take he trip.
Tales of narrowing experiences
are being brought back from Alaska
by every vessel that returns from
that region tn Seattle The latest
news and probably the worst, is that
the winter season has already set in
at Dawson, and that intense cold is
prevailing throughout the Klondike
territory. Word has come to the
anxious gold seekers that several of
the largest stores in Dawson have
closed their doors, for the simple
reason that they have nothing more
to sell. Their stock has been ex-
hausted at fabulous prices, and they
are unable to obtain any more
goods. In spite of this warning, and
with starvation staring them in the
face, the prospective gold miners are
still willing to rush in and trust to
luck. 1t is appalling to think of how
many poor devils will perish in the
KIondike before the bright sun of
next spring brings relief to the half
frozen perpons who have managed to
live the winter through
