Tell What They Know Of Negro
Dominant
The following is from The Raleigh
News and Observer OF yesterday:
Wilmington. ". C, Oct. II.
DR.. G. Memory Chapman. Logan's
Store, y. c.:
Ny Dear Sir:-I find your letter OF
the 18th here on my return. this a. m,
and while / have very pressing matters
that need my attention. / deem this
matter Of such Importance, that l shall
answer your letter first.
The two negroes, Lee and McAllister
certainly live here, and at the address
given in the letters lives McAliister.
They certainly applied to the Odeil
Hardware Company at Greensboro for
the twenty-five Winchester rifles.
There is but one construction that car
be put upon this action. The negroes
are not overburdened with money and
as these rifles cost about $500 each.
they must have relied upon some other
source than their own, TO get the mon
ey to pay for them. Up TO the time
OF their applying for the rifles, there
had been but very little talk OF trouble
and nothing lone by the whites 10
cause them, the negroes, to fear any
trouble.
The reports published in the papers
here, are all true. They are not in any
degree ov~erstated, but on the other
han the half has not beer told. We
are completely under negro domina-
ton. The white office holders were
either elected by the negroes. or ap-
pointed by the governor. We have
fourteen negro policemen; all the
health officers are negroes. n
of the paid fire department are ne
groes. We have forty negro magis-
trates, three negro aldermen: all h
employees in the custom house are ne
groes. nothing but negroes in the reg
ister's office: o negro deputy sheriffs
two-thirdS of the street force are ne
groes, and numbers of them employed
in other positions. The picture has not
been over drawn. Any one who will
come here. and walk the town over,
n go into the public buildings will,
without saying a word, or asking a
question, become convinced that the
real owners of property, the real tax
payers, the men who have everything
to lose. have no voice in the manage
ment Of public affairs. The black man
who pays no tax whatever. does moth
ing for the real welfare of the COM
munity, has nothing to lose, controls
everything Of a political character and
the abuses we complain of. are the le-
Ultimate outcome of the conditions.
The stories you have seen are neither
over drawn. or untrue; but are true,
and not half told. 1t requires a large
amount of forbearance to get along
without trobule.
We are anxiously looking to the GEN.
trail and western part of the state to
help us throw off this yoke which has
been fastened upon us. and relieve us
Of a condition that is well night intol-
cradle.
You have my permission to use this
letter in any way you see fit. with the
hope that it may assist in helping to
bring ono more to the top, hat ele-
ment of society which has ever stood
for all that is right.
| Yours truly.

FURLoUGHED AND LOST.
Many Soldiers Sick at Home Cannot
he Located.

a strange and rather serious condition
of affairs exists in the volunteer army as
a result of the promiscuous granting of
furloughs to enlisted men after the cessa-
ton of hostilities. Some of these nom
commissioned officers and privates were
slightly i'll when they were given their
leaves, while typhoid, malaria and other
diseases were lurking in the systems Of
others, and frequently developed after the
men had arrived at their homes.
Now a large number of these soldiers
are sick, some of them seriously, at their
residences in country places, villages,
towns and cities. They are widely scat
tered over the United States and in a
great many instances their Whereabouts
is unknown to the War Department
Every day the surgeon generals office
is in receipt of large numbers of certifi-
Gates of disability from country medlcos.
village doctors and others announcing the
condition of certain volunteers. These
certificates are used as 'tracers," for To-
eating the missing soldiers, and steps are
being taken TO have the soldiers, when
possible. removed to military hospitals
for treatment.
These sick men, who are so numerous
ly scattered about at unknown points, in
many instances" said an army officer
yesterday. "are causing the War Depart
ment no end of worriment. 1 believe the
surgeon general is seriously contemplat-
ing the establishment in his department
of a new branch to be known as The Bu-
reau of Sick and Missing Volunteers
Some of the certificates, too, which are
received from village doctors are studies
for mind readers. The rounding up of
these sick men will be a problem OF no
little difficulty"

Shetland Grove, Nd where he lives, suf
fering from bullet wound inflicted by
Jim Wilson, also colored. Wilson is un-
der arrest and in Jail at Rockville.
The trouble which resulted in the shoot
ing began with a game of craps. Dove
had a contract for cutting corn and en-
ployed Wilson to help him After the
work Dove paid Wilson and then won the
money back at game of craps. Wilson
imagined that he had been cheated and
swore TO be avenged.
Yesterday both men attended church
entertainment near Shetland Grove, and,
Wilson. it is said. provoked a quarrel.
Deve, who is much older than his assai.-
ant, tried 10 avoid trouble, but without
success. Wilson walked out of the church
and turning fired shot through the door.
The bullet struck Dove in the left
breast, passing downward into the abdo
men. He was brought into Washington
by his brother and sent to the hospital,
where an operation was performed on
him by DR.. William P. Carr. His condi-
ton is critical.

SINGLE TAX DISCUSSED.
Interesting Arguments at the Meet
ing of the SecUInr Leayue

ing OF the Secular League.
The discussion of the single tax Ques-
ton at the Secular League yesterday
afternoon brought out large audience.
The affirmative of the question was pre-
sented by Arthur p. Davis. president of
that organization; Major Maurice Pee
MIN and Dr. Charles Newburgh-
In his introduction Mr.. Davis asserted
the purpose of the single tax advocates
to be securing of equal rights of all people
to those things which were here on earth
before men We're here, and after an cx-
tended array of facts and figures tending
to show existing poverty and distress in
cident to the present system of4things he
proceeded 10 argue that the adoption Of
the single tax system would alleviate all
this and tend to universal prosperity.
Gen. William Birney made the OPEN
ing speech in the negative, He did
not believe that the earth was the sole
source and origin of property as had been
asserted. He thought that air and water
ought to be considered as sources of
wealth and ownership. No man, he as
serted, had the right to come into his
house and breathe his air without his
consent
Major Maurice Pechim made the second
argument in the affirmative. He said that
the single tax doctrine did not eontem-
plate the confiscation of all land by the
Government. but only of all rents. DIR.
w. A. Croffut followed in the negative
and was succeeded by DIR. Charles New
burgh in the affirmative.
The closing arguments were made by
Dr. Croffut and Mr.. Davis. One point
gave rise to quite an animated scene. DIR.
CrOffut had given computation of the
total rents of the country which, he said,
amounted to about $500, 000000 and held
that il was not much more than one
quarter of the total annual expenses and
the total amount to be raised by revenue,
amounting, in fact, 10 only about one and
one-half cents day for every man, wo-
man and child in the United States.
Mr.. Davis, in rejoinder, misunderstood
DIR. Croffut as attributing the computa-
tion of one and one-half cents a day to
Henry George. an Interpretation which
was repudiated by the preceding speaker.
The question was continued till next
Sunday.
