The Wilmington Messenger, a rail
road organ, has secured n negro editor
for an ally to help it work the negro
scarecrow racket in the interest Of the
railroads.
The Messenger and all other rail-
road organs are delighted with their
brother negro editor Every time he
says anything mean to stir up race
prejudice they chuckle with delight,
pat him on the back, call him bold,
brave man." and encourage him to 20
on. Not only this, but they are filling
their editorial columns with clippings
from this negroes editorials. In fact,
the real use they have for this negro
editor is to have him publish the kind of
stuff that they can copy and use to
stir up race prejudice and hate. These
railroad organs and this negro editor
are partners in the same scheme.
They all have their orders from the
"overseer" to work the "nigger" racket
until they get the passions and preju
dices of the people sufficiently aroused,
IL possible, to enable the railroads to
capture the next legislature. Certain
~ this =. a D. paper is doing a.. it can
to help its white brother railroad edi-
tor. Here are some extracts from a
two column editorial in the Whining
ton Messenger, in which that paper
copies many juicy extracts from the
negroeI pen and comments upon the
same. The Messenger starts Of as
follows:
"There is new weekly newspaper
radical to the centre-that has just be-
gun at Faison, in Sampson county. 1t
Is edited and owned by 5. M. Hill, "a
colored man and brother" who writes
with force and bOldness, and is well
addicted to the pen He is man of
good parts, has read politics and
thought of politics and is loaded. He
begins with the declaration of indie
pendence that amounts to this he is
opposed to being led about by the nose
by ring fixed there by the white bos-
being left out in the cold after the pie
counter has been won."
Notice how the Messenger, a negro
scarecrOw" organ, warns up to this
-colored man and brother" 1t pats
him lovingly on the back and calls him
"msn Of good parts" man who
has read politics and thought politics,
and is loaded q. man of "fOrce and
business
The Messenger then proceeds to pub
lish the blowing choice extract from
its colored brother Hills paper, the
Herald, as follows:
THE latter day Republic insm which
says II won't do to put the negro in this Of
flee or that office is not the kind for US and
We will never submit to that kind till sparks
cease to fly upwards and Comanches respect
treaties"
The Herald will advocate that any Amer
lean citizen old enough has rs much right
to be President of these United States as
VIM. Mckinley. We are all equal in the
The fellow who believes in waiting and that
II won't do to put negro in this office OF
that will get no sympathy from us. We
spew you out as utterly unfit for diges
ton"
The Messenger is delighted with
these sentiments it seems, and pro-
ceeds to comment on the above extract
a. follows:
Hill is game. His spirit is aroused
He is heart-sick of slavery and longs
for freedom. He serves, therefore, due
notice on the gang. Iii liberty OF
death" now.
Hill "tafks right out in meeting,'
and he puts no semblance of wool in
his mouth. Read farther from Hill;
paper:
THE Republican party cannot elect 8
president without the negr, vote. We hole
the balance Of power in half q dozen North
friends to stand by us and We will have re
cognition or sink the ship. The die is cast
The frs. ship mas been fired. Keep up tn,
6ght. We wait no longer"
Once more let the new, brave leader
of the negro party in North CarOlins
be heard from, for his horn gives out .
clear note of defiance to all:
ITO the white Republicans of the South
We saw you have reckoned without you
host. Already there is q gigantic scheme OF
foot to put up q negro candidate for Presi
dent in 1900. A better plan would be tina
since the white bosses assume to Draw tn,
color line after election. suppose We draw il
before election and pass the word down
that from the primaries up We elect NJ
white man ~ delegate to any convention
that we nominate no white man for Office
ETC."
IL this negro editor running his pa
per in the interest of his race? No
