Negroes Shall Not Longer Rule
North Carolina

{ Raleigh News and O~bserver.)
All the fusion papers are publishing
a letter written by Mr.. VIM. II. Chad
bourn, postmaster of Wilmington, with
reference to the negro rule in North
Cardinals chief city. No sooner had
the letter appeared than the business
men of Wilmington held a meeting and
declared that it did not give the true
situation in their city, and called upon
white men in all parts of the state to
help rid them Of negro government in
their city and county
The action Of the business men and
the comments Of the press caused Mr..
Chadbourn to open his eyes and to re-
verse his partisan opinion and he has
written another letter to Senator
P~ritchard telling him in plain language
what every man in the state, white
and black, is beginning to appreciate,
to-wit, that there exists the most in
tense telling against any sort Of negro
domination" that cit pervades the
whole community, and there seems to
be a settled determination on the part
of the property owners, business men,
and taxpayers that they will admin
lister city and county government"
Mr.. Chadbourn lives in the chief city
of the state, he is a republican Of long
standing, and the fact that he felt call
ed upon to write his second letter,
showing marked change in his views
after hearing the deep-seated deter
minatiOn of the people, is the most
| significant event of the present memo
able campaign.
The white people of North Carolina
rich and poor upo the same altar
have sworn hat their state shall not
longer be under the control Of the ne
gro and his base allies. They NAV
differ about traiff, currency, foreign
questions, or other subjects, but they
| are rapidly coming to be an irresistible
| unit in their determination not to long
er submit to the humiliation and indig-
| mites which have followed in the wake
of negro rule. 1t is no sudden passion.
1t is ingrained in the life of the white
men of the state, who see capital driv-
en- away, business stagnant, labor
poorly paid, men hauled to the judg-
ment seat before negro tribunals, W o
men made afraid to leave their homes.
and lawlessness run riot in hitherto
prosperous and peaceful cities.
| Inc uutSllOl mas TeSolNcu llStiL iDIO
! the simple one: "Shall the white nan
or the black man rule in North Caro-
lina?"
Postmaster sees that
coming events cast their shadows be-
FORE" and his letter is a virtual pre-
diction that after November the state
will pass from the rule Of the negro
and his white agents and come under
the control Of the white men Of the

Norfolk Landmark


The Landmark gave an abstract 4
week or so ago OF the economic re-
searches OF Mr.. Jacob Schoenhof. who
has critically investigated the COM
plant made by the New England mill
owners against cheap southern labor"
Mr.. Schoenhof, In a careful article in
the Forum, shattered this excuse by
showing that in Germany the price Of
wages by the hour is 4.91 cents. while
in eastern Bohemia II Is but 2.0s cents.
and yet 1t Is the competition OF Eng
land. where labor is paid at the rate
OF e.55 cents an hour, that Germany
breads rather than hat OF Bohemia"
and so on. This examination into the
relations between the rate OF wages
and the cost OF production, unless
proved to be inaccurate. forces the
New England cotton weaver to abau-
den their cry about cheap b and
lends renewed strength to the southern
claim thai the close proximity Of the
district Of cotton and fuel production
To the southern mills is responsible for
the decline OF those in the north. The
Boston Herald, though a very fair
newspaper, tries to avoid the inevita-
BILE confession by declaring hat most
mill work is done by the piece" We
not. but we do not see that IL helps in
any way the northern contention that
cheap southern labor Is the foe OF the
New England milling industry. II the
Herald ! that most mill work is
done by the piece in New England and
by the hour In the south, that would
be quite another thing.

THE COMMISSION AT ADMISSION.
Admission, Ala, October 22.-The war
investigating commission arrived here
early today and spent the forenoon in
speeding Camp Shipp. They made O
visit to every company in the camp
and to all the hospitals, also inspecting
kitchens, canteens and other camp
buildings. AS a rule the men were
found to be pleased with the camp
site n satisfied with their treatment.
Some of them complained that their
clothing was not sufficient for the cold
weather of the past few days. Many
of them appeared anxiOus to get home,
but said if they could not be sent
home, they desired to go to Cuba.
The fOlliwng bulletin from military

"The surgeon reports that the Relief
sailed with 246 patients. The Missouri
has gone to Arroyo to take the sick;

gueZ to get the sick. HENRY"
SPAIN OFFERS A COMPROMISE.
Paris, October 22.-The United States
peace commission held two sittings to-
day to consider voluminous communi-
cations presented yesterday by the
Spanish commissioners. The new prop
osltlon of he S~paniards looks to a
compromise between the refusal of
the Americans to assume any of the
Cuban debt and the Spanish holding
that the United States should assume
it wholly.
The terms of yesterdays proposal
are obviously unknown, save to the
commissioners. The American commits
siOners will reply to the communication
at Mondays joint session and an ex-
tended argument will then follow and
then will carry the matter possibly
over to another meeting.
The following cablegram from Cen
eral Wood, commanding at Santiago,
was posted at the war department to-
night:
~"SO-called Cuban government in ses-
sion. but nothing definite done. Health
of people and troops improving"

The Eyes of the Country Upon Us
charlotte Observer

The political situation IN North Caro-
lima is attracting the attention Of all
the country. Our South Carolina and
Virginia brethren of the press are
watching narrowly the progress OF the
campaign and commenting on it fire.
quently, and yesterday alone our at
tention was attracted to editorial ar
ticles upon it from The Springfield,
Mass, Republican and The New Or
leans States. That from the latter was
with special reference to the vile article
which appeared a few weeks ago in the
negro paper at Wilmington, in which
it was alleged that the white ONE
of the state are as much to blame as
the negro men who are lynched for
%outraging them, IL not more. The New
Orleans paper observes that 1T is safe
to say that there is not a community
in the south outside of North Carolina
but would have hung the black scoun-
drel who penned the article TO the first
lamp post" Certainly our people have
been more han patient under this out
rageous publication, and many other
things which they LAY endured, but
there is a better remedy for thosethings
than hanging the Williams to lamp
posts. The remedy is I be found at
the ballot box, and If it is not applied
next month then indeed viii the state
be fairly obnoxious TO the implied CEN
sure of it contained in the foregoing
quotation.
We started put to say, however. that
the eyes of the nation are upon North
Carolina, and unless the state rights
itself at the coming election We are
likely to fall under that contempt
which Is always visited upcn cravens.

MEANT
Showed 1t by Backing Up His PROPOSE.
ton with the Money


Greensboro Record, 19th.)
The presence of Hon. Clement Manly
in Greensboro today reminds us of
what took place at a point in Surry
county the other day. where he was
making a speech. He was telling of the
actual condition of things in that Sec
ton, and made this proposition:
Laying down $50 in bills on the table
he said all he asked was that some
good, honest, fair republican be chosen
to go to New Bern, stay a week, look
into what he had referred to, and then
return and tell the people of the coun-
try in company with himself. Manly,
what he saw, etc. Mr.. Manly, adding
that if such a man would go he would
pay his expenses and give him 81 a day
for the time he was absent, the money
on the table to be placed in the hands
of any honorable gentleman.
This is a square deal Mr.. Manly
night Mr.. Manly received a letter from
a gentleman in that section, saying
that he was going down to investigate
and would leave for New Bern tomor-
row.
This is a square deal. Mr.. Manly
has faith in his proposition or he would
not back it up with the money neces-
sary to make the investigation. Fact
is he lived in New Bern for years, goes
there often and knows what he IS talk
ing about.
