hearing.-High Point Citizen.
The negro has been blinded to the ef-
feet upon his country Of his adherence
TO the republican party, by the dazzling
splendor Of the provisions of the lith
and 18th amendments to the constitu-
ton of the United States and the fear
of the loss OF his privileges. He is a
dupe and don't know ii. An enemy
to good government, and unconsc!ously
and innocently so; a despoiler OF the
white mans property, n don't intend
TO be: an incubus upon the body poll
tic and a factor which must be sup
pressed.-Morehead Pilot.
Asheville Citizen: Will Erwin, a
guard at Captain Blacks convict camp
at Stocksville, was kicked by a mule
last night, the blow breaking the OFF,
GERS right forearm--Sunday after
loon John Reid. an aged citizen of
Buncombe, living on Bull creek, near
the Asheville Farm school, was stung
to death by bees. a calf knocked over
a bee hive in Mr.. Reeds yard and
while he was attempting to set 1t up
the bees covered his face and hands
completely, inflicting SO many stings
that he died in a very short time from
the effects. Mr.. Reed was a brother
of Judge J. E. Reed, Of Asheville and
was 63 years old.
It is impossible hat a majority of
the white voters of the state should
not appreciate the situation and cor
rect it by the election of the demo-
cratic tickets. Democratic suprem-
acy means an economical and clean
administration of the states affairs,
so far as is possible with Russell as
governor, an able and sober judiciary,
and a legislature obedient to the will
of the people. North Carolina is a
fair domain of great possibilities. 1t
should be governed by the party that
commands the respect OF the great
body of intelligent people; not by a
few pie hunters backed by the ignor-
ant vote of the state and banded to-
gether to hold the offices for their
personal benefit This fall should
witness such a political Overturn as
will redeem the state forever from the
hands Of ignorance and plumber
Asheyille Citizen.
We appeal to every white man in
North Carolina who has any respect
for his state, for his white manhood,
for himself and for those who should
be nearer and dearer to him than all
of these together, to work and vote
sOlidly for the supremacy Of the white
men in this state. No difference if
you do not exactly agree in politics
with the white mans party-We do
not agree with the majority of that
party o~urself-there is something
higher than politics to look to in this
election; there is home and fireside to
protect. Let us stick together Shout
der to shoulder, brother by brothers
side-No difference if we have not al
ways agreed-until u homes are Sc
cure, until North Carolina is redeem
ed and purified and our maidens can
be as safe as she who traversed Erin
in the olden, golden time. Whose
sons although they loved m and
golden store" They loved honor and
virtue more" May God in his infinite
goodness and mercy speed the happy
day. But dear friends it can only
come through complete white suprem-
acy.-Rocky Mount Argonaut.
The editorial of the negro Manly,
of the Wilmington Record, printed on
the 18th of August, taken with the at
tempted republican reputation Of it,
and Marion Buffers article charging
the democrats with hiring Manly TO
write the editorials, make about as
complete a campaign document as
could be put in the hands Of white
men. The negro's editorial, and the
sentiments therein expressed are the
logical and predicted fruit of republi-
can supremacy; the result of fusion
government; the direct offspring of the
populist and radical adultery. The
negro bases himself on the intimate
relations between his own race and
renegade white people who associate
with him pOlitically-and in doing 80
associate with him to a certain ex-
tent socially. All men know that en-
timents such as were expressed by the

We are growing sick and tired of
the charge the race prejudice is at
the bottom of the argument in favor
Of white supremacy. 1t is an insult
and injury to both races, and any
man or set of men who will make such
a charge are unworthy of the name of
man and offer insult to the Christian
manhood and patriotism of North Caro-
lima Our colored people who are not
numbered with political aspirants and
who are leading quiet orderly lives
much prefer living under a decent
white mans government than a gov
eminent run conformity by incompe-
tent negroes and corrupt and unworthy
white men. The colored people as a
whole desire TO be prosperous and
happy. They enjoy their religion and
