ANTHONY TO Be LEFT COMMISSIONER AND
WIFE TO HAVE POSTOFFICE.
Negro Guards For White Convcts and Negro
Guards at the Farms--A County
Fence Briefs,

Scotland Neck, N. c., Oct. 5.-(Spe-
cial. )-After all Collin Anthony may not
be postmaster at this place. He is a
County Commissioner, and to hold the
postoffice he will have to resign as Com
missioner, and the Republicans in the
county are not willing for him to do
that. They propose to get out OF the
difficulty by having Anthony's wife ap-
pointed postmistress and let Collin re-
tain his place as Commissioner. Such
was the talk at the court house yester-
day. and it was said that several letters
have passed regarding the arrangement.
The white people at Halifax were
mortified yesterday to see wagon load
of white convicts driven through the
town with negro guard behind themI
A good citizen of Halifax said that tie
negroes along Main street showed signs
of rejoicing at the sight. Your cores
pondent was told that most, IL not all,
Of the field guard at the farms are ne
groes.
The County Commissioners spent most
of the day yesterday hearing bids and
considering same for a county fence TO
be built between Halifax and Martin
counties.
Persons who yesterday returned from
Kehukee Baptist Association at Will
Jams church in Edgecombe county re-
ported large crowd and most har-
monious session.
Rev. r. T. Vann and Mr.. w. Biggs
have gone from here to attend the Ias
River Baptist Association near ROCKY
Mount.
The wagon train put on to haul freight
r. PALMYRA to be shipped thence by
water has been doing a good deal of
hauling. Much Of the increasing freight
has been brought to the town that way
and much of the cotton will be shipped
from here by that line.

THE NEGRO AS AN OBSTACLE
biblical Recorder.)

The coiored man will be with us OF
the South always His tribe now num-
| bers 7,00O,000; his increase is about
100000 annually. To send him back to
Africa Is impossible, and II it were not
impossible, it would be utterly impra cti-
cable. To colonize him in this country
| is also both impossible and impractica-
bic. Amalgamation is losing ground In
stead Of gaining, which is vastly to the
credit of our country. So the colored
| man Is here to stay. We must take
account of him, we must reckon on him.
Since the gates of Eden closed on
Adam and Eve no greater calamity has
befallen people than that which was
thrust upon the stricken South by the
act giving 100000 slaves, sons of gen.
erations of slaves, the right of fran
chise. From that day until now the
course Of the Southern people has been
a desperate struggle up grade against
odds that would have daunted a less val
/ liant race. Politically we are where
we were three decades ago. No re-
forms could be initiated, no advanced
positions be taken, because every year
and hour the slightest disaffection would
throw 100000 colored voters into ascen-
dancy. Take a simple instance: The
editor of the Biblical Recorder, now
gathered to his fathers, was denounced
and abused throughout North Carolina
because he would not advocate a Prohi-
bition party. Those who knew him
knew why he was silent He knew that to
advocate the Prohibition party would di-
vide the white people, and the colored
voters would rise to power. He prefer
red liquor-selling with honorable white
men in office to liquor-selling with in
competent colored men and representa-
tives of them in power. His position was
sound.
This is only one instance. Hundreds
might be named. For every reform Gre
ates division, every new idea creates
disaffection. And in consequence the
larger element of the white people in
the South are politically the slowest in
the world to move. And it viii be so
so long as there is the almost inevitable
consequence that to initiate a change
will turn the country over to an incom-
petent and unworthy regime.
Without another word it is clear that
the negro is an obstacle; clear that in
evitably the Southern country must be
retarded in her political progress so long
as he is an obstacle. 1t is clear that he
is here to stay. What then? Disfran-
chisement. 1t is the only hope. There
is but one ground that will reach the
mark, and that is Illiteracy. 1t is
good one; it will stand the test of COM
mon sense and plain reason and right
Is it impossible? 1t cannot be- Is L
impracticable? 1t cannot be. One year
or two years may not achieve the end,
but it is worth a decade Of struggle.
Other issues pale into inSignifcance be-
side this; they should not be suffered
to interfere. If the unintelligent vote Of
North Carolina could be eliminated the
State could then address herself with a
single eye to the needs of the people.

GENTLY to go to the White Mountains.
However, he has since steadily grown
worse and as last resort he came here.
His career has been varied and honors
have been thickly bestowed upon him
by the people. Twice he was nominated
for Congress and each time polled the
largest vote of any other Democratic
candidate, in an overwhelmingly Repub-
lican district.
He was the first politician in Massa-
chusetts TO declare for free silver and
in the Chicago convention he went, the
only silver delegate-the ridicule of his
Acknowledgements. On the trip he con-
yerted three of them. The others later
came into the silver camp.
He made a speech at the convention.
nominating Hon. Geo. Fred Williams for
the vice-presidential candidacy.
During the last campaign he stumped
Massachusetts and is considered one Of
the best stump speakers of that COM
monwealth.
North Carolina welcomes this young
leader, and may it's healthful cline and
mvigorating pine-breezes be the means
of restoring his health.

HON. JERRY O'SULLIvAN IN
ASHEVILLE.

Asheville, N. c., Oct. 5.-(SpeciaD =
Hon. Jeremiah ONSullivan, the bright
young editor, politician, and the original
silver man of Massachusetts, has arrived
here in search of health. He is accom-
panied by his younger brother.
Physically he is total wreck and his
recovery is extremely doubtful, but men,
tally he is as active and clear as usua!.
With the spirit he was known to pos
sess, the patient has steadfastly refused
to believe his case as severe as his ply
sicians state and he was reluctant to
come here, although he knew it to be
the only climate in the world congenill
to his affiction.
GERRY" as the Bay State people are
wont to call him, has always been j
champion of the peoples rights. In
his paper he attacked the ''whiskey
ring" a powerful organization that CON
trolls the government of his native city,
Lawrence.
A libel suit resulted and the young
editor was sentenced to a years impris-
onment. He boldly went to Jail, mar
tyr to the cause he championed. This
completed the chain that snapped the
last chord in his already weak consti-
tuition, and he collapsed. A large petit
ton for pardon together with physicians
health statement caused the governor to
grant it after OSullivan had served two
months time For weeks afterwards he
lay at deaths door, but recovered suff-
