WHITE MEN BUT REPUBLICANS.
These Want the Negro to Have His

Grindoal. n. c., Nov. 20.

Grindoal. n. c., Nov 90
TO the Editor: We, the undersigned,
ask that you please publish this letter
of correction that the people of North
Carolina may know who We are and also
our position politically. We saw in your
issue of the 18th ult., a call published
for a convention of colored Republicans
to meet in Raleigh on the Bird inst, for
the purpose of demanding more recogni-
| ton and an equal distribution of the
offices We thought the call very appro-
pirate and without hesitation signed our
names to the same. Since that time
we have been censured by a few local
Populists and pretended Republicans for
signing our names, we being white men,
to acall of colored Republicans for the
convention aforesaid. We are white
men and are proud of that Anglo-Saxon
blood that trickles through our veins and
penetrates our bodies, that make us a
part and parcel of the greatest nation
that inhabits this or any other land.
DEPRESSING from that we are Republi-
cans, and whenever the political bugle
is sounded we feel it our duty to answer
the call whether blown by white or
colored Republican. As the greater part
of the Republican party of North Caro-
lima consist of coloIed voters, we feel
that they should be rewarded at this
stage of our political history with emolu-
ments instead of demagoguical promises
as has been heretofore given. And we,
as loyal Republicans, are willing to join
any project that is for the edifcation of
the party whether enacted by colored or
white Republicans. All we ask, require
and hope to see. is equal rights to all
and special privileges to none. And to
our minds that will never come so long
as what is known in North Carolina as
as we have what is known in North
Carolina as the Rep and Pop. combine.

A CARD FROM MIR. NICHOLS.
Why Not Try This Plan?

IF there are only two or three farm
ers in the State who can win any prizes
or derive any benefit from an exhibition
of their products at the State Fair,
then why not let these few farmers foot
the bill?
"We think there is a remedy. Let
the fair managers next year offer prizes
for the best farm products raised on
plantations on which, say, not more
than four or five horses are worked
we mean let some of the premiums be
offered to those only who work not more
than five horses. What say press and
people to this"
The above is from the Progressive
Farmer of Nov. 23rd, 1897. The infer
ence to be deducted from this paragraph
is that but two or three farmers in the
State can win any prizes or derive any
benefit from an exhibition of their pro-
ducts"
In the language of Shakespeare, lord,
Lord. &c!
If the writer of the above paragraph
had availed himself of the information
he would have obtained by calling at
the office of the Society he would not
have placed himself in such an awkward
attitude. The facts are that more than
forty farmers who do not use more
than flour or FIVE horses" took pre-
miums amounting to nearly six hundred
dollars, at the late State Fair, while
but three who use more than flour or
five horses" took premiums. Two thirds
of the forty were from Wake county.

books Don't try to ape other critics.
