was laden

promises, and was laden
with anticipations of a long life of
usefulness. He was universally
popular in the community, espe-
cially among the young people
with whom he associated, and his
quiet manners and numerous traits
Of character, which soon would
have developed him into a well
rounded man, had won for bin
the highest degree of esteem, from
all with whom he cane in contact.
"Death loves a shining mark"
A fathers pride, a mothers joy,
has gone out from this world, it
seems, untimely, and left throb-
bing bosoms, and aching hearts,
and tear-bedimmed eyes. The
tenderest sympathy of the CONS
munity goes out to them in their
sad visitation and we commend the
fond parents TO Him who doeth all
things we'll.
A tramp giving his name as
John Lucas, from Russia, wat
found near here ON the Southera
Railroad one day last week in a pie
table condition. He was lying
under the top of a tree that had
been cut down on a bed of hay
and nothing over him but the cam
opy of heaven. He was sick unto
death and had 1t not been for the
kindness and attention shown him
by the neighbors no doubt he
would have died. Mr.. Carl Swim
son acted as good Samaritan. The
old fellow had borne the burden of
sixty odd summers, his head was
hoary with age, his form was
bowed with the weight of years of
physical and mental suffering. The
plowshare of time had left deep
burrows upon his brow. but when
we asked if he was a christian and
if he should die would it be we'll
with him, his face frightened, a
smile played over it, and then his
eyes filled with tears, his feeble
form trembled with emotion as he
assured all was we'll. He was
taken to the County Poor House
Saturday morning.

Rev, D. G. Covington, colored,
pastor of Clinton chapel A. M.
E. Zion Church, liYes at All
South Mint street. He has been,
for two or more years, conduct
ing a column in the Sunday OBJ
server-a column set apart for
the colored people; a column set
apart for their religious. moral,
educational and industrial elevas
ton. The original copy Of the
foregoing letter to Mr.. Page has
been exhibited at the Observer
office. and the handwriting is
identified as that of Rev. D. C..
Covington by the two members
Of the staff of the paper who
handled his correspondence.
We wish to make the point that
Mr.. Page has furnished nothing
to the press of a political char
acter-his letter was furnished
by his correspondent, But wheth-
err it came as it did or was given
out for publication by him di-
rectly, it is outrageous that for
his simple recital of plain and
well known facts he should be
thus coarsely and brutally as
sailed by an anonymous writer,
white or black. AS to who Mr..
Page is, very few of the intellis
gent people of North Carolina
need be told. He is one OF the
very ablest ministers of the
Methodist Church in this State, a
man of lovely Christian charac-
ter, an universal favorite wher
ever he is known. The better
class of the colored people of this
city and State will not endorse
this unwarranted assault upon
such a man, but all intelligent
people will see the spirit UNDER
lying it.

We want to impress upon our
farmers the importance of sowing
plenty of small grain. 1t will
soon be time for seeding wheat
and winter oats, and there is no
other crop which should be more
important, and none which pays
as we'll, especially if followed with
peas, to be either turned under or
cut for hay. If the wave of pros

We venture the assertion that
there will not DO a better speech

Vicious Attack Upon a Beloved
Minister.
Charlotte Observer.

Minister.
Charlotte Observer.
It will be recalled that some
weeks ago a private letter by
Rev. Jesse H. Page, Of the
North Carolina Conference. adj
dressed to a friend and former
parishiouer in Catawba county,
| was published in the Observer.
The gentleman had written Mr..
Page 10 know if political condi-
tons in the eastern part Of the
State are really as they have been
represented, and this gentleman
furnished the reply to this paper
and 1t was printed. Upon the
strength of this Mr.. Page has
received an anonymous letter of
which the following is a true
copy:
Charlotte, Sept. 18th, 1898.
Rev. Jesse Page, Rockingham.
Dear Sir: I have just read your
communication on negro rule in
the eastern part Of the State. as
you are pleased to call it. I am a
negro myself and have become
Disguised over the malicious
faIsehoods and baseless rot that
is being published by you and
the corrupt party to which you
belong. l am a Minister Of the
Gospel myself and find that you
claim to be; but I do not think
that the Lord Jesus Christ had
much to do with sending you
cat; for when he commissioned
his Disciples to SEQ into all the
world and preach the Gospel to
every creature" etc, they were
TO preach against every wrong
and try if possible to establish
peace among all men. In fact the
golden rule was to be engraven
iD our heart, mind and life. I hope
you will remember this. Again I
learn you are an old man that
viii not stay here as long as you
have stayed, aud after all, as
long as you have been pretend
ing to preach the Gospel. if you
don't mind hell will be your por-
ton. But these lying statements
lat you and your Democratic
allies are publishing, will serve
to solidify the Populists and Res
pablicans, and especially the
negro against you as never be-
fore. We, the colored people of
this city. expect to start a daily
paper here and denounce you and
your party as a set of lying
hypocrites. If this is the way
you expect to get the State back
to the Democratic party, we shall
see to it that you will never &C
complish that end.
I talked with q well respected
white man from the east the
cher day who was a Prohibit
tjonist He said to me that all of
this stuff which is being publish
ed by the Democrats and their
lying newspapers we're all lies
aud the white people of eastern
North Carolina are Disguised
with it, I would advise you TO
get out of the pulpit, for the
Lord Jesus has not had one
thing to do with you. When you
get true religion you will find
tnat you will be a new man alto
gether.
Ii you want to answer me write
to the Charlotte Citizen. There
has never been a period in the
annals Of history in which an at
tempt at publication has ever
succeeded. God will see to it tha1
g7n and your pcor rotten parry
Ui never succeed. Ola msn, you
had oetter g5t right. tor you are

ATRUTH TOLD IN BLOOD.

The colored men Of the South.
by adhering as q race to the Re-
publican party ard voting solid
~ against the Democratic party,
have always been their own
worst eneny-and the white
people Of the South, ''to the
manner born" have told them so
time and time and time again.
Nay, more, the white people Of
lhe Southland especially in
North Carolina, have been long
patient with the negro voters IL
their blind adhereRce 10 the Re
publican party, and We have
taxed ourselves bprdensom8iy
ana generously to educate the
colored masses, in fhe hope that,
eventually, through EDUCATION
freely given them by the people
whom they have ever so stub
boroly opposed, they might come
to see the truth and the truth
would make them freemen-po~
litlcally, as the arbitramant Of
arms has gwen them physical
freedom.
They have been told that the
people of the South are their
best and only true friends. aud
aside from the generosity aud
philanthropy the white people
OF the South have ever shown
them, they have had the truth
brought home to them il fearful
lessons OF how tbs people of the
North hate the negro, but they
would net heed them.
Another Of these lessons, ex-
employing ia blood and death,
the truth herein referred 10, has
just transpifed in the great Re
publican Northern State of Il

and recent occurrences at the
coal mines in the Safe indicate
that the foreign laborers hereto

Southern Democrats do not OBJ
