town that entitle their pOSterity to
something better than the pebald

1000 Democratic voters in the county
and about $500 Republicans. OF the
Republicans not exceeding 20 are white
men. Formerly there We're some 800

defiantly lived with a negro woman in
NeWbern for many years and has a
large family of negro children. He was
at one time pension attorney, but
was disbarred by the department at
Washington for illegal practices. He
continues to attend to pension business
and his dealings with the department
are now conducted through a negro at

IT Is WHITE, OR RACK

The question down here is no longer
are you Republican or Democrat, but
are YOU white or black. Are the white
people or negroes to control town, cOun-
~ and State? J. r. York, negro, who
has formerly made his living bv
building barrels, but at present a cap
tain in Governor I.usselrs negro reg
lment al Fort Macon has for years
been a Democrat and taken an active
part IN the politics of the city Of New
bern. Tim has recently made formal
announcement of his intention to go
with his color in this election. He re-
CARDS the contest now being urged as
one between the white man and the ne
gro as TO which shall rule, and like
loyal negro he lines up with his crowd
Party principles are forgotten for the
time being and Tim has taken his
stand with his color. York was in
NeWbern a few days ago and an
nounCed his desertion from the whites
and his adhesion to the blacks by say
ing to the Journal Of August "a: THE
only issue now is the color line and Y
must vote with my people" Is there
a white man in Western North CARROLL
ma who will by bis vote this fall
show that he is less loyal to his race
IMAM this negro is to his? IL it not
nigh time white men should stand to-
gether when the negroes are thus
banding themselves for the avowed
purpose of putting North Carolina IN
der negro rule?
NEGRO DOMINATION THE SOLE
