THE CHADBOURN LETTER.
Wilmington Messenger.

wilmington Messenger
Perhaps no COMMUNICATION has appeared
in a Wilmington newspaper in some
years that was read with the same avid
ity and interest as the letter Of M.
w. II. Chadbourn of this city, in yes
terday's Messenger. 1t is addressed 20
Senator Pritchard, and corrects sore or.
roneous impressions made by former
communication addressed to him ny the
same writer The missIve Is evidently
drawn with great care. 1t is Il conE@r-
vative statement of actual conditions in
this city. There are possibly even more
disquietude and bitterness and determi-
nation to have a change than are appar-
ent in his letter. The excitement, the
resolved will, the pertinaciOus purpose,
the union of heart and hand on the part
of the whites were never before so
pronounced and so completely cOnsum-
mated as now. They see ruin in the way
if Il change in government here is not Sc
cured. With one desire, with one dccla-
ration of hope and purpose, they are re-
solved to be free.
Mr.. Chadbourn is a man Of education
and intelligence, and of much influence
with the negroes. He has not written
an hour too soon, and it is to be hoped
that itsealnr direct statements will serve'
to pacify passion and to some extent re-
lieve the very great tension now here.
It is creditable to his discernment, intelll-
rence and regard for the safety of the
community that he has written i'll such
clear. unmistakable terms. The letter is
a positive concession to the present pain
f,,I onyiponuautS aud thp disturbed con-
dition of the city in which he has long
resided and prospered. He has set good
example, and shows himself friend of
peace and order. He has set the Five"
an excellent example, and if they arc
indeed wise in their day and generation
they will be sure and swift to initiate it.

be saddled upon the towns and cities,
and their enterprise strangled by alleged
debts for local causes which were IN
reality treated for no other purpose than
to keep the Cubans in subsection to
Spain?
We hope we are mistaken, but we
fear that as the outcome of the diplo-
macy Mt Paris, Cuban towns will be sad
died with a debt for which they have re-
ceived no benefit. Spanish authorities,
as well as those of France will leave
no stone unturned to protect the holders
of Cuban securities, issued without au-
authority from Cubans or without adj
vantage to Cuba.

AN ATTACK ON REV. JESSE H. PAGE.

Some time ago we published a letter
man as fills a pulpit in the State, set
ting forth the conditions in Eastern
North Carolina and the necessity of
white men acting together. The fol-
lowing anonymous and vicious letter
was written to Mr.. Page by a colored
minister because he chose to take a
stand for white civilizations
Charlotte, n. c., Sept. II, '9S.
Rev Jesse Page, Rockingham, \. G.
Dear Sir: / have just read your COM
munication on negro rule in the eastern
part of the State, as you are pleased to
call it, | am a negro myself and have
become disguised over the malicious
falsehoods and baseless rot that is be-
ing published by you and the corrupt
party to which you belong. l am
minister of the Gospel myself and find
that you claim to be, but | do not think
that the Lord Jesus Christ had much
to do with sending you OUT for when
He commissioned His Disciples to go
in to all the world and preach the Cos
to preach against every wrong and try
if possible to establish peace among all
men, In fact the golden rule was to be
engrayeD in our heart, mind and life.
| hope you will remember this. Again
| learn you are an old man that will
not stay here as long as you have stayed;
and after all, rs long as you have been
pretending to preach the Gospel, if you
don't mind HE'LL WILL BE YOUR
PORTION. But these lying statements
that you and your Democratic allies are
will serve to solidify the Pop
ulists and Republicans, and especially
the negro, against you as never before.
We, the colored people of this city, expect
to start 4 daily paper here and denounce
you and your party as set Of lying
hypocrites. If this is the way you ex-
pect to get the State back to the Demo
cratic party, we shall see to it that you
will never accomplish that end.
talked with a well respected white
man from the east the other day who
was a Prohibitionist. He said to me
that all of this stuff which is being pub
lished by the Democrats and their ly
ing newspapers were all lies and the
white people of eastern North Carolina
are Disguised with it. l would advise
you to GET OUT OF THE PULPIT,
for the Lord Jesus has not had one thing
to di with you. When you get true re-
ligion you will find that you will be Il
new man altogether.
If you want to answer me write to the
Charlotte Citizen. There has never
been a period in the annals of history
in which an attempt Mt notification has
ever succeeded God will see to it that
you and your poor, rotten party will
never succeed. OLD MAN, YOU HAD
BETTER GET RIGHT. FOR YOU
ARE AS GOOD AN AGENT FOR
THE DEVIL AS HE WANTS.

TWO LIVES SAVED.

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City
H., was told by her doctors she had
Consumption and that there was nc
hope for her. but two bottles of DR.
Kings New Discovery completely cured
her and she says it saved her life. Mr..
Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida street, San
Francisco, suffered from IL dreadful cold
approaching Consumption, tried without
result everything else, then bought one
bottle of Dr. Kings New Discovery and
in two weeks was cured. He is natural
IL thankful 1t is such results, of which
these are samples, that prove the won

THE ISSUE IS CLEAR CUT THIS YEAR.

The patriotic citizen is not necessarily
one who has never supported a bad cause
nor made political mistakes. But if he
sees that a cause is bad he forsakes it
and if he sees that he has made a politi-
cal mistake he rectifes 1t.
There has been no attempt made to
charge upon the voters of the POpulist
party any intention to foist negro rule
upon the State when they co-operated
with the Republican party in the past.
The great mass of Populst voters-(we
do not mean pie-eaters or pie-hunters)-
are as much in favor of white supremacy
as are Democrats. AT heart the true
Populist from principle is as much out
ragged by the rule of the negro as the
Democrat He was betrayed by the Re
publican party and his own leaders into
voting for a cause whose evils were
not then apparent. Many white men then
chimera. 1t had been so long since negro
rule had existed in this State.
In 1898 on the negro question as on
other questions. the conditions are radi-
cally different from what they We're in
1896 Every man who casts Il vote casts
it for or against negro rule. Every man
votes with a full knowledge of the circum-
stances, unless he has wilfulIy closed his
eyes and ears. Negro rule exists. The
Democrats propose to wipe it out. The
Fusonists propose to continue it. That
is the plain proposition that every voter
must face.
From the year 1893 to the last page
of North Carolina history there can be
and will be no doubt as to the mean
ing of the term "Fusionsts." 1t will
not mean the same that it has meant
from 1896 to 1898 even. 1t will mean the
man who with his eyes open deliberately
cast his ballot against his own race, his
own home and his own civilization. Not
by the effort of the Democratic party, nor
of any party, but by the common CON
sent of right thinking and right feeling
men it will become a term of odium and
contempt, that any respectable man
would resent as he would the term
'scallawag'' or arpet-bagger."
1t is worse than idle to suppose that
a knot of scheming peanut politicians can
stay for long the sadyance of Anglo Saxon.
civilization or subject a race that has
known no master to the domination of
tie lowest race but one in the world.
No man can afford to be on the wrong
side of history. And we are making his
tory in North Carolina in this good year
1898, history of the same sort that was
made a quarter of a century ago when
the carpet Dagger, the scallawag and the
negro were cast out of the temple they
had polluted and the sturdy Anglo-Saxons
of this State took up the work of
creating new civilization and brighter.
page Of history. 4
A somewhat similar task awaits the
white men of the State to-day. We can
not believe they will shirk it. We know
that for him who lends a hand there will
be the reward of victory in the right and
for him who opposes civilization and
progress the sting of ultimate defeat in
the wrong cause. White Supremacy is
an issue that will not down. Not until
the Anglo-Saxon has fallen to the level
of the negro.

0HdFlOtte, ~. y.
The handwriting has been identified
as that of ID. c. Covington, the negro
pastor of the \. NJ. Il. Zion church,
who lives at the address given at the
bottom of the production.
Upon this cowardly insult to good
man it is needless to comment. 1t car
ries with it it's own comment and its
own lesson. 1t shows that from top to
bottom the negro is init for negro
domination, as did the pastoral and
Sunday school endorsement of the Manly
SANDER. When negro, presumably
can so far forget decency and propriety
as to thus insult white minister, what
is to be expected of the ignorant, inso-
lent and naturally vicious swarms of
the race in eastern towns?
The scurrious writer of the letter in
question not only insulted Mr.. Page, but
on the testimony of Mr. Chadbourn,
Republican postmaster of Wilmington,
published yesterday, he has uttered a
falsehood as well.
If no other argument had been offered,
the utterances of leaders of the negro
race within the past few months have
been such as to convince every thought
full white man of the immediate and
ahsoIute npcCsSity of restoring the rule
of the white man.

THE X RAY AGAIN.
It's Good Work at Davidson College in
Locating Bullet.
Charlotte Observer

Charlotte Observer
What a wonderful friend to the human
race the X rays are, finds added proof
in the operation performed at David
son yesterday, when DIR. Munroe located
and extracted a bullet from the side
of Mr.. Johnston, recently shot by ne
gro. The ball was in the pericardial sac,
between the fourth and sixth ribs, and
its proximity to the heart rendered the
operation very dangerous, and yet the
new invention has, aided by the physi-
clans skill, as far as can be seen, render
ed the operation successful. The ball had
carried into the body shred of clothing,
which, fostering as it was, meant certain
death unless quickly removed. Prof.
Roentgen deserves a monument.

The Augusta Cotton Mill has reduced
the wages of its operatives ten per cent.
This affects the employees of six large
mills, and as this Mckinley wave strikes
them as winter approaches they will not
feel that ''the advance agent of. pros
perity" has reached their homes.

every day.

There is a settled determination we
can assure him to restore white suprc-
macy to New Hanover county and the
city Of Wilmington.
The citizens of Wilmington are pa
tent, law-abiding people, but forDear-
ance has ceased to be virtue, ana tho
white people, long trodden under the
foot of the white-skinned Republicans
and their negro henchmen have resolved
to capture this fair city from the hands
of its despoilers.
