try Let us rejoice that our own
State Of North Carolina, with her
100000 people and her $3.50

this vast country which, ahead OF
all others, is attracting the attention
of the best people and greater
amount of capital than any other
portion of the globe.
Geographically North Carolina is
really an empire; its length is about
800 miles, and it would hold ten
States the size OF Connecticut, and
six the size of Massachusetts,. II has
a climate which is pleasant, diver
sity of industries not surpassed by
any State in the Union, and as SO

TREAT THEM AS ENEMIES SHOULD
BE TREATED.

We repeat here what was said in
these columns some months ago
That if the White Men of North Caro-
lima had done their duty between
1865 and 1868, all the trouble that
has come since from vile and malig-
nant and crushing politics would
have been escaped. SO soon as low
white men began to jump the fence
into the radical pasture seeking
provender, and so soon as the negroes
took up with the dirty carpetb bag
gers and the dirtier scallawags, all
men should have refused to speak to
the whites, and all land owners
should have refused to let those
negroes work for them or rent them
land, and no true white man should
have given employment to any
enemy of the race on any condition.
That would have brought the cure at
the very beginning.
Let the true White Men every
where in North Carolina henceforth
bear themselves always and every
where as the sworn enemies of the
white traitors who allied themselves
with the most desperate and vii
famous combination and conspiracy
that was ever formed against virtue
and intelligence, honor and char
acter, prosperity and peace. Do not
countenance any man that you know
or have cause to believe was in the
effort to degrade you and endanger
the very safety of the noble white
women of our State
Why should a patriot ever recog-
nize as an acquaintance any one who
shows he is an open, defiant traitor
to his race? Think of it and true
deliverance make.-Wilmington Mes

NEGROES PROTEST.

A mass meeting of negroes was
held in Cooper Union, New York,
Thursday night to protest against
the recent attacks on members Of
their race in the South-notably in
North and South Carolina. Fiery
and bitter speeches were made by
both men and women and long
string Of resolutions were adopted,
one section Of which censured the
Governors Of these States for their
failure to suppress the rlotlnS ana
revolution, and for their failure to in
woke the aid of the Federal authorities
if they were unable or unwilling to
cope with the condition OF affairs.
An amendment to the Constitution
..to enable the President to use the
Federal authority to protect the life
and property of the citizens OF the
United States from organized or mob
conspiracy whenever the Governor
Of any State from fear or collision
fails to afford such protection or to
call upon the Federal government to
afford it," was also recommended.
Among the speakers was woman
named Elizabeth b. Grannis, whose
harangue the New York World says
"stirred the audience up to the high
est pitch Of excitement" She ut
tered a most infamous lie and SANDER
against the white womanhood OF the
South, saying this: I'VE all know
that the white women and white girls
of the South are full Of cOlored
blood" And yet, lie and Islander
that it was and known to be by the
speaker and those who heard it. this
sort of language was received with
enthusiastic applause. The World
SAYS: when she made the state
ment quoted, wild uproar followed.
Many men and women jumped on
| chairs and cheered. Others waived
handkerchiefs.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

There seems to be a pretty general
idea among our people that the pub
lie school business in Vance county
has been badly managed, and is ter
ribly mixed up and in a fearful con-
dition. Now this may be true or
not. AT any rate it is best for the
county that the real facts should be
known and we purpose to look into
the matter thoroughly and get at the
facts and publish them. We wish
and now ask the help of every one
who is at all informed on these mat
ters.
Does the fault lie with Mr.. Mates,
the County Supervisor? There seems
to be much dust raised where he has
been along. How about the County
Board? Have they followed the law
and done their duty?
Perhaps the school committees are
at fault.

How Inundated and ashamed must

gle for white supremacy in North
Carolina took sides with the negroes

such men no censure can be too

finger of scorn should forever point
them out as unworthy of respect or

should be bestowed upon those

CIRCUMSTANCES alter cases very
materially some times. Lee Person,

Il am good citizen and accept

to do likewise. The Democratic party
is in power and it becomes all ne
groes to accept the situation, and 90
quietly to work and try to live in
peace with their white neighbors.
And this is the same insolent,
hypocritical rascal who before the
election. was advising the negroes to
arm themselves and go to the polls
with pistols and rocks, and otherwise
melting them to acts of violence
and lawlessness. No, the words and
