COLUMBUS AROUSED.
Two Thousand People at the White
Mems Rally at Whiteville-Many For
mer Populists in the Parade.

Whiteville, n. c., Nov 5.-(SpeciaD.-
Hon. G. b. Aycock spoke to two thou
san people to-day. One hundred Red
Shirts paraded and filed the town with
shouts of joy at the prospect of Columbus
being redeemed from the rule and ruin
of Fusion. Many men who formerly
were POpulists were in the parade and
are now working zealously for the Dem
ocratic ticket. The Fusion forces are
disorganized and scattered. Among all
the vast assembly here to-day it was diff
ticult to find any white man who would
admit that he would support Fusion.
Many ladies listened with rapt attention
to the mastery eloquence of Mr.. AycOck.
The seven gunners from Wilmington
were on hand with their cannon, and liv-
ened up the people with its booming.
The Democrats are jubilant over their
certainty of carrying Columbus county
and placing it once more in the Democrat
it column by handsome majority next
Tuesday.

Some of the largest cities IL The State
have negro postmasters, and this also
causes friction. The result % all this
will be the driving back of North Caro-
lima into the Democratic column. The
Republican party has lost its greatest
opportunity of driving an opening wedge
into the solid South. The white pc 1pie
will not have negro rule. 1t may be
merely prejudice, but it is so deeply root
ed that it cannot be eradicated. The re-
suit is that white men band themselves
together to rid themselves of the negro
at the polls. They know no party, no
principle, save that of antagonlsm to
negro domination. They do not object to
the negro himself, but they will not have
him placed over them.
If the negro could only be eliminated
from the problem, the South today would
split politically from Virginia to Texas.
Some of the men who are most p'oml-
nent in this anti-negro movement voted
for Mckinley and are Republicans ON
national issues. In fact, were it not for
the race issue, the State of North Caro-
lima would have a large and respectable
Republican party. The Western noun
taineers are largely Republican, while the
influence of the old line Wings still lin
gers in the middle section. In the east
ern portion of the State, where travelled
most extensively, / met scores of Demo
Gratis who have no sympathy for silver
and who believe protection to be better
for their interests than free trade. On
local issues they are compelled to vote
the Democratic ticket to obtain white
mans government, while their desire to
vote with the Republicans on national
issues has been neutralized by the APP
pointment of negroes to Federal offices
by the present administration. 1t really
looks as if the negro We're the old man
Of the sea on the back of the Republican
party and as there is no way to get rid
of him, the Republicans must suffer

An unusual wave of excitement and
apprehension swept over the city last
night about IL o'clock, when it became
known that Il difficulty which gave
promise of developing into serious race
trouble had arisen in the First Ward
at the corner of Fourth and Nixon
streets. 1t was reported that full 200
negroes were assembled there and max
ing violent threats because of claimed
grievance.
An investigation showed that about
10 o'clock street car No D, with Motor
man Finch and Conductor Shaw, stopped
at the corner of Fourth and Nixon
streets and white man, carrying Il
repeating rifle, stepped off the car on
his way home. 4 number of negroes
(probably twcnty) were standing on the
corner talking i'll an excited manner. One
of them asked the white man if he was
Il red shirt. He replied that he was,
whereupon they moved towards him as
though to make an attack. The mans
rifle was wrapped up and he commenced
to tear away the paper, when several
rocks were thrown by negroes in the
crowd. The stones went wide of their
aim and one narrowly missed the head
of Motorman Finch Another struck
the street car with considerable force.
The conductor signalled for his car
to start toward the city, but had not
gone far when Mr.. w. V. Hudson, head
conductor of the railway system, came
from his home near by and investigated
the trouble. As he was getting upon the
car some of the negroes began to cast
stones ut him and the car, declaring
that they would stop the cars from run
ming. A negro also drew Il pistol as
though to fire upon Mr.. Hudson.
The car proceeded a little away fur
Their on its return trip and came up
with police officers Kukl and Sheehan.
Mr.. Hudson returned to the scene of
the row with the officers and pointed
out the negro who drew the pistol and
also took part in casting the stones. He
proved to be Frank Thompson, employ
ed at the Champion Cotton Compress.
He was put under arrest and carried
to the guard house. This greatly in
furiated the other negroes. who began
to make violent threats. They claimed
that Thompson should not have been
arrested The crowd increased rapidly
for while and it was this condition
which caused the general apprehension
Of a general trouble. However, several
Of the most influential and peaceable ne
groes mingled with the crowd and their
efforts combined with those of the Off
GERS finally caused them to dispense.
1t was discovered that during the
time the stones were being cast at the
street car and the ''red shirts" several
window glasses in front of II. Il. Sell
lers' store were broken and the door
badly battered. The negro Thompson
denies that he threw Il rock or drew
a pistol. He said he had pistol, but
it was broken. 1t is in the hands Of the
police and is in good condition. They
took it from his person.

SHOT-GUNS OR THE LAW.

All the other Southern States, and es-
pecially Virginia and South Carolina.
threw off the yoke of negro rule only
after sanguinary contests between the
races. Whether the revolution will come
in North Carolina through baptism of
blood no one can say, but that it will
come seems absolutely certain. After it
has been experienced North Carolina will
be a Democratic State, as safe and GER
tain as South Carolina. The negro will
be practically disfranchised, through con-
stitutional amendment, and where this is
not effective, the shotgun will stand be-
side the ballot box In the determination
to completely remove the negro as a
factor at the polls the white men Of the
State are practically united. Many Pop
ulists have come back to the Democratic
party because the latter declared in its
State platform for the white metal as
well as for the white men, while the
gold Democrats prefer even silver 10 the
negro
The sentiment against the negro is not
confined to any locality in the State. EX-
Gov Jarvis, who returned to Raleigh to-
day from tour through the Western
part of the State, says that North Caro-
lima will go Democratic, even IL the
counties in the black belt give their ac-
customed majorities. If this is the case,
the political knell of the negro in North
Carolina has been sounded. The next
Legislature will perpetuate white SUI
premacy. There will be no occasion in
the future for repeating the bitter, ex-
citing and picturesque struggle which
will make this North Carolina campaign
memorable in political history.

This is not the statement of Demo
crat or of a man interested as a North

PROMINENT CITIZENS INVES-
TIGATED.

A party of prominent citizens visited
the vicinity of last nights trouble at
Fourth and Nixon streets, between 1
and $50 o'clock this morning, and are
indignant at the conditions their inves-
tigation revealed They report that
hey discovered from good authority that
despite the fact that such riotous condi-
tons prevailed while the cars and white
men were being attacked, there were at
40 time more than three policemen on
the scene. and one of those, r.. ID.
George. was armed with nothing but a
billy The other two were III. Il. Kuhl
md w. w. Howell. They told these
gentlemen that they telephoned for more
help and instructions, but received none,
save that Sergeant Hewlett and Lieu
tenant Loosen came over for a while
and promised to send reinforcements and
orders, but never did.
1t was learned that the negroes open
y made threats that they would kill
Head Conductor Hudson and others be-
fore morning. And that they also
boosted that their children all had
matches and bottles of kerosene, knew
how to use them and would run some
ing. Pistols We're promiscuoubly dis
played and four Winchesters were seen
The chief of police, says these gentle
men, knew of this condition and only
one extra policeman was sworn in and
shat was George, who was provided with
only billy and sent to the scene of the
trouble. The police also knew that a
number of families left that part OF
the city, being afraid to remain there
Others were locked in their houses and
afraid to come out. This condition oil
affairs. they say, reigned, and yet there
were only three officers in the entire
section of the city beyond the railroad
An effort was made to find the Mayor
so that he might take the matter il
hand and provide protection, but he
could not be found. They report thai
hey searched at the hotels at his home
at the city hall, and even went to the
gambling dive on Front street. but he
was nowhere to be found. There il

NEGRO RIDDEN COUNTY
A NEGRO PAPER lNCITING THE NEGRO
VOTERS.
The'Negroes Urged to BURY White Suprema-
cy Face Downward" in To days
Election.

The Washington Post advocated Nc
Kinley's election, and it supports Re
publican policies in National affairs. Its
most trusted and capable correspondent,
Mr.. II. l.. West, has spent two weeks
in North Carolina studying the situation,
and he predicts a sweeping Democratic
victory as the result of to-day's cleo
ton.
Friday, he concludes by giving these
facts:
There is no question that this is ne
grO-ridden county. The list of negro Of
fice-holders includes the Register of
Deed, two Deputy Registers of Deeds,
four Deputy Seriffs, Coroner, four con-
stables, twenty-seven magistrates,
County Commissioner, one member of
the Board of Education, thirteen school
committeeman, City Attorney, three city
Aldermen, and four policemen. The
present Representative of the county in
the Legislature is negro, who has been
convicted of forgery, and who is again
a candidate for the same place, while
a majority of the other officers on the.
ticket are negroes.
There is no probability that this ticket
will be taken down, as has been done at
Wilmington. SO the negroes have every
incentive to go to the polls. If the
threats of the Democrats to prevent
their voting are carried into execution,
as it is emphatically asserted tonight
they will be, it is difficult to see how
conflict at the polls is to be avoided.
The negroes, on their part. are deter
mined to win. They know that they are
in majority, and their leaders are urg-
ing them not to surrender. They have
little campaign daily here, which has a
large circulation among them. Its editor
has fiery editorial in this afternoons
edition, calling upon the negroes to vote
against white supremacy.
INCITING THE NEGROES.
Every negro who loves his father and
mother, his wife and children. and is OPP
posed to Democratic slavery" says the
editor, must bury white supremacy face
downward on next Tuesday in order that
it may never rise again to villify the
negro. lie against their own homes, and
call white men black" The negroes are
told that the whites intend to disfran-
chise them; that the bloody Red Shirts
will try to bulldoze and intimidate them,
but that 1--WE poor defenseless creatures
will cast our ballots just the same. We
must win the election" eXclaims the
editor
The line between whites and blacks is
sharply drawn. There are said to be
only sixty white men in the entire 300
Republican voters registered i'll the coun-
ty The 1900 other white men, however,
propose to win at the polls.
