WHICH KIND OF A WHITE MANS


WHICH KIND OF A WHITE MANS
PARTY?
Last week we published an editorial
headed "The Kind of a White Mans
Party Needed" in which we showed
the kind of white mans party that all
good men favor-one that will bring
together, to elect the next legislature
all Of the good citizens who are hon.
estly opposed to the gold standard and
to the domination'of the State by the
Rothschilds railroad corporation. We
also showed that the railroad papers
and machine politicians, acting under
the orders of their "overseer," wanted
to get the gold Democrats and silver
Democrats, the railroad Democrats
and anti-monopoly Democrats toy
er. This would make . white mans
party too, but party of the Cleveland
and Ransom style to serve the monop-
olies and turn the next legislature
over to the railroads. with the ultimate
object in downing Bryan in 1900. We
asked the News and Observer which
kind of q white mans party it favored.
Up to date it has not answered. it does
not dare to answer this question.

JUDGE AvERY's POSITION.

We publish in this issue q strong
and timely open letter from Judge
Avery. He of course expresses him
self in favor of Anglo-Saxon supre-
macy, as every body does, but he warns
the people not to allow themselves to
be deceived and betrayed under cover
Of this Seductive plea of white supre-
macy. he warns the people not to let
the railroads, through their organs and
certain set of politicians, to raise the
negro searecrow to sidetrack the great
economic questions now before the
people. He is in favor Of all men who
are for free silver and for railroad re-
forms joining hands to break the curse
Of railroad domination and oppression
in North Carolina. 1t is noticeable
that very few of the negro scareorow
organs, which are owned and control
led by the railroads., would publish
this article. The Wilmington Messen.
ger refused to publish it though re-
quested by it's author to do so. All of
these monopoly organs are confused
and dumbfounded at its bold, clear,
and honest ring. Let every good cit
izen read and study Judge Averys
article, and then he will see why the
railroad organs do not like it.

A GOOD LAW-OUR SCHOOLS WILL RI

CAL TAX.

The News and Observer continues
to give chapter after chapter on the
negro, and condemns the new school
law for allowing the negroes one place
in some localities on the township
school committee. The News and OBJ
server fears that the one colored man
will control the four white men on the
committee, and manage all the schools
both white and colored. How silly!
To advance such q foolish idea makes
US seriously question whether or not
man can hold such an idea and
be at the same time both honest and
sane.
In the western counties where there
are few negroes there was no necessi.

STILL At MS TRICKS.

The Editor Of the News .ad Observer Pub.
fishes Misrspressntatiops-1 he Truth d.
the Matter.
In recent issue Of the News and
Observer there appeared an article
under tho caption Of Expenses In
creased from which we clip the fol-
lowing:
"Some additional facts about the
Board of the institution for the Deaf
and Dumb and the Blind held Thurs
day night came to light yesterday.
The increase in expenses of the col
ored institution Is $3.50 for the next
session. A eolored girl named. Up
perman was elected music teacher
in Mrs. Pegues' (col) place and
will receive $35 per month,
while Mrs. Pegues stayed in the in
stitutioH with her husband and re-
ceived $25. This is an increase of
$50, Jim Young's daughter gets
$3.50 month more than her prede-
cessor. The place given Mr.. Tlllin-
ghast is q new one, and this is an in
crease of $500 a year"
We do not know from whom the
reporter received his information. AS
printed above it is inaccurate and
misleading. The truth of the matter is
as follows and which can be verified
from the minutes of the proceedings
of the Board:
LIST. Sallie. Upperman (coD was
elected to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Mrs.Pegues (coD
at exactly the same salary as her
successor was receiving at the time
of her retirement, namely: $27. so
per month and board.
End. Maud E. Young was elected
to succeed Mrs. Bolden also at the
same pay and allowances of her pre-
decessor Thus two false statements
printed for political effect are nail
ed, and we dare the News and OBJ.
server to successfully contradict this
statement.
3rd. In reference to the election
OF Mr.. Tillinghast. 1t was suggested
at the June meeting of the Board
by Mr.. Ray, that it would be to the
interest Of the colored department to
relieve the supervisor of the duties
OF teaching. At this meeting the
Board took no action desiring furth.
or time to consider the suggestion.
Later Mr.. Pegues resigned and Su-
perintendent Ray agained urged this
recommendation in the following
words:
81 regard the election of Mr.. Til
inghast as of very great Importance
to the success of the colored depart
ment, more especially since We are to
have q new supervisor there
Thus it will be seen that q ma ior-
ity of the Board sustained the desires
of the Superintendent who knew
more about the needs of the institu-
ton than the News and Observer
does.
1t also tries to ridicule the election
OF Mr.. Charles Anderson by saying
that the Board would not re-elect
him at the June meeting and later,
discovering that said Anderson was
. Republican fastened to put him
back. This is also false. Here
is another extract from Mr.. RAYS
letter to the Chairman of the Board:
II am more and more convinced
that it will be unwiss TO abolish the
broom and mattress departments at
the white department. altogether,
and therefore recommend that Chas.
Anderson be elected - teachsr of
