luStrate the spirit of sectional hate to-
ward the South which still prevails IN
some quarters of the North and which
apostles of humanity like Mrs. Gran
mis- are continually e~ndeaVoring to fan
into a general flame. They stop at no
Islander, no lie, no utilization, no mat
ter how gross and deteStable. if it
gives them the opportunity to spit out
their malignant venom against the
South. They are the petty and vulgar
political descendants of that wholesale
libeler, Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe,
who had more imagination n just as
little regard for truth as her imitators
Of the present day. The wrong and
injury which Uncle Toms Cabin" in
fiicted upon the country are incalcu-
liable. That wrong and injury still
live, and, like John Browns spirit,
seem to be marching on for still fur
Their evil. AS is pointed out in the re-
Gently issued United States history of
Susan PendletOn Lee, Mrs. Stowe had
never been South nor seen slavery and
s~lave-owners as they really were, but
she was a violent abolitionist, and she
wrote for anti-slavery newspapers a
story n pom isolated cases of
cruelty and crime picked up from other
papers. In vain the South denied the
ISLANDERS given broadcast to the world.
Uncle Tom was republished in Eng
land; it was translated into the Euro
pean languages, and it's caricatures of
southern life We're multiplied a thous-
and-fold by abolition energy and ia
naticism. When Mrs. Stowe was
pressed to give her authority for the
account she a of the Kentucky and
Louisiana planters, she published "A
Key which showed among the mil
lions of shareholders and their ne
grOes how few were the instances Of
world as the habitual daily life of the
broad South"
Haters of the South, who have
earned their morals from Mrs. Stowe
and John Brown, and who deliberately
SANDER the Southern people and seek
TO array the negroes against them, are
enemies Of the colored race and dan
gerous to the peace and prosperity Of
the whole country. They are directly
responsible for race o%utrages. murders
and collisions in the South. and the
blood shed under the circumstances
Will cry to heaven against them. 1t is
time that the better classes in the
North put the stamp of their emphatic
dlSapprOVal upOn these emiSsaries OF
evil and W~ickedness. They cannot af-
1ord even TO appear to endorse crea-
lures who, like very drabs, fall to ours
ing a whole section and spew out upon
1t the slime Of their own degraded ma

Correspondence of The Messenger.)
Fayetteville, \. C., November "a.
A lowering morning cleared off
bright and cold at noon, and large
crowds rode and walked out to the fair
grounds to witness the tournament
Messrs. r. L. Williams, III. NJ. Pember-
ton and w. H. Haigh committee-the
following knights entering the lists,
and running the course in the order
named: A. M. McCeachey, h. M. Penn
berton, w. McKethan, John Gorham,
H. McGeachey, A. S.. Rose, E. T. Wat
son, A. H. Slocomb, Jr., E. Utley, Geo.
Rose, w. H. Haigh, Jno. GARRISON, G.
E. Galloway.
The contest was very close and ex-
citing, resulting IN first prize to Mr..
H. NJ. Pemberton, but not after he had
ridden a tie three or four times with
Mr.. w. H. Haigh. The riding vas
very fine, especially thai of Haigh,
Slocomb, Watson, McGeachey and
Pemberton. The second prize was won
by Haigh; third by J. Gorham. At
the coronation ball tonight, Mr.. I. A.
Murchison will deliver the address.
Last night a South C~arOlinian, a
stranger in the city, walked out in the
southern suburbs to visit a friend;
and, meeting a negro, inquired the way
to his friends home. A few words
were exchanged, and the South Caro-
linian, Mr.. Decker, then passed on, and
in a few minutes was struck from be-
hind by the negro. He fell, stunned,
and the negro robbed him of a good
watch and about $4,000 in money,
striking him a second time when he
attempted to rise. Mr.. Decker finally
recovered sufficiently to get on his feet,
made him way to McDufiie's drug
store, where his injuries were attended
to-. A large crowd collected about him
as he stood at the door of the drug
store, and while he. was n%arrating his
misfortune, the negro passed by.
Decker recognized him, made a spring
for him, and the negro broke, pursued
by the crowd, among whom were W
policemen. Several shots were fired
at him as ne fled through the yards in
rear of the stores on Hay street, but
he succeeded in evading capture.
With the close of the tournament a
game of foot ball is being played be-
tween the teams of the Fayetteville
Military Academy and st. Johns Ath-
letic Club, but the result is not known,
at the time of closing this letter.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harper celebrate their
wooden wedding tonight.
Interesting services were held in the
churches today. In the Presbyterian
church Miss Munce of the Red Springs
Female Seminary gave delightful vocal
music.

BITTER COMMENTS OF SPAN

II Attack all Whites Who Came in
Sight

Montgomery, ala. November PA
special from Admission to The Adver-
tiser says:
Members of the Third Alabama me
grO) regiment with murder in their
hearts, caused great excitement here
tonight. Shortly after dark Private
Gildhart, of Company B, Second Ar
kansas, while going towards his regl-
mental camp from town was shot in
the head by a negro soldier who also
stabbed him in the back. A little later
a member of the Fourth Kentucky was
shot on Walnut street by negro SOL
diers who lay in a gully shooting at
the white men who passed. Firing was
heard in Liberia, the negro quarter of
the city, and a squad of provost guards
went 10 investigate. AS it turned the
corner of Fifteenth and Pin streets
a large crowd of negro soldiers, with
out warning, opened fire upon the
guard with Springfelds, the gun IN
use in the regiment. The guard re-
turne the fire, but had but few car
tridges and soon had to retreat. Rein
rceme and more ammunition We're
sent for, but when they arrived the
negroes had disappeared. The number
OF negroes in the mob We're VariOuSly
estimated at from fifty to two hun
dred. In the engagement Sergeant
DOdsOn, Third Tennessee, was shot in
the arm n Private Graham, Third
Tennessee, received a painful wound
in the stomach. Two other members OF
the provost guard are missing and
cannot be found.
When news of the trouble became
known the white soldiers who were in
the city gathered around the provost
guard headquarters and begged for
guns and ammunition, crying like
children because their requests could
not be granted. Citizens armed them
selves and repaired to the scene of the
battle. Mayor Hight at once ordered
all saloons closed. Several negro sol
diers. one with a Springfield which
had just been fired, were arrested in
various parts of the city and locked
up, though it vas with difficulty that
the Infatuated white soldiers and cit
zens were prevented from wreaking
summary vengeance upon them. Ar
mories Of the two local military COM
panies were broken into and every
gun and cartridge appropriated by un-
known parties. General Frank, who is
in command of the troops here, come
out and was or the streets until a late
hour. General Colby, commanding the
second brigade. ordered out two com
Danies each OF the Third Tennessee
n Second Arkansas and brought
them to the city for whatever service
might be required. After the engage
ment at Fifteenth and Pine very few
negroes, either soldiers or civilians.

was well. A
