AND RIOT

NINE NEGROES WERE KILL d
NINE NEGROES WERE KILLED
During One Day at Wilmington-Mu, :
ders and Riots at Other Places-Negro
Newspaper Office Destroyed.

The race troubles in North Caro-
lima reached their climax on Thurs
dav Of last week at Wilmington.
Nine negroes were killed, three
white men wounded, and the office
of the Record, negro newspaper,
demolished.
The editor of this paper had pub.
lished an article defamatOry of white
women, and a mass meeting Of citi-
zens ordered his expulsion from the
city within twenty.fOur hours, and
the removal of his press. The negro
skipped, but left his printing outfit,
and the whites proceed to carry out
their threats, demOlishing the fix
lures and then setting fire to the Of
flee.
This aroused the negro element
of the city, and a race war followed, ,
with the results as stated above.
The editorial that brought about
the destruction of the Record refers
to white women in general in the
following language:
ave suggest that the whites guard
their women more closely, thus giving
no opportunity for the human tiend, be
| he white or black. You leave your
goods out of doors and then complain
! because they are taken away. Poor
white men are careless in the matter of
protecting their women, especially on
farms. They are careless of their con-
duct toward them, and our experience
among the poor white people in the
country teaches that the women of thai
race are not any more particular in the
matter Of clandestine meetings with
colored men than are the white men
with colored women. Meetings Of this
kind go on for some time until the wo
mans infatuatiou or the mans bold
ness brings attention to them and th'
man is lynched. Every negro lyncheC
is called a big, burly, black brute whel
in fact many of those who have thu
been dealt with had white men for thei
fathers and were not only not blact
and burly, but were sufficiently attrac
tive for white girls Of culture and re
tinement to fall in love with them, as i
well known to all"

orators have plants of varying eff
cheney and completeness, and one
large new plant will shortly be erec-
ted. with strong probability OF two
others.
The Tennessee Phosphate Com
pany is the only one so far with a
complete and thoroughly equipped
plant, and the prices they receive
for their product conclusively de-
mOnstrates the improved condition
of the rock when properly handled
by machinery
The Louisville & Nashville Rail
road has at last walked up to the fact
that they have great big business
here, and they have constructed
about mile Of storage and passing
tracks and new depot, and now
keeps a switch engine here constant
ly and is putting in a pair of track
scales. The business is handled
from FIVE freight stations in three
miles, while "a sixth will soon be
added. The total amount Of money
so far invested in land, plants and
leases here is probably about $780,
600.
A direct result also of the discov-
cry of this field has been the estab
lishment of two new fertilizer facto
ries at Nashville, the increasing o
the two already there and the estab
lishment of a new one at Florence
Ala.

AN INTERESTING TRIAL.
Judge Erwin Has a Hard Time With Two
German Tramps.


Judge Erwin had an interesting
case before him last Monday morn
ing. Two German tramps, who have
been in Uncle Sam domain for only
two months, had been arrested
and brought before him for trial,
charged with burning rails on Mr..
John w. FriersOn's place situated on
the railroad near town. The for
eigners knew scarcely anything
about the English language, and ap.
peared to be be utterly ignorant Of
the charges against them. AS it has
been several years since Judge Err
win graduated from the school-room,
strive as best he may he could not
recall enough of his German to con-
vey to the minds of the prisoners
the contents of the charges. He
twisted his English around in every
conceivable shape and form, pune
tuating it with series of fervent
gestures, but, twist as much as he
may, he could not twist it into the
craniums of the two prisoners. Ev-
cry effort of the Judge to teach them
English proved futile, and the for
eigners didn't know whether they
were being eXprobated for building
bonfires out of another mans fence
rails, or were being honOred with d
dissertation on "Who Struck Billy
PattersOn?"
Finally, however, an int rprtt 4
was secured in the person of Mr.
Maurice Rothschild, the tailor, who
interpreted the contents of the
charges and informed the foreigners
Of the position they were in. A
Mr.. Frierson did not desire to prose
cute the cases, Judge Erwin turned
the offenders loose with the pro
vision that they shake the dust o
the city from their feet immediate

TO LEASE THE PHILIPPINES.

A Gigantic Proposition Made by an
American syndicate.
PARIS, Nov. l2.,-The Spanish and
American commissions had under
consideration at their separate ses-
sions to day an extraordinary propO-
sitiOn from commercial company
regarding the control, disposition
and government Of the Philippines.
The full name Of the company Is
"The Commercial Company Of the
United States and the Philippines.
Its capital is $4oO 0OO,0O The COM
pany offers to give Spain Sl75O Geo
for her sovereigu rights over the
Philippines; to give the United
States, as bonus indemnity, Sl25,-
600 900, and reserve for "a working
capital 800 600 Geo.
The company asks that the Philip
pines be governed for 20 years the
same as any of the Territories of the
United States; that half the Legis-
| lature be nominated by the COM
pany; that the company have the
right to fix and arrange all import
and export duties; 10 charter all
commercial and local companies In

paw all United States officials and
maintain police force aud stand
ing army if necessary.
The chief agent OF the company Is
J. b. Young of Utah, IA son of Brig
ham young, He is in correspond
ence with President Mckinley, who,
it is alleged, has advised the Ameri-
can Commission TO consider the
company'S proposition. He was in
troduced to the American Com
mission by d. o. Mills, father-in
law of Whitelaw Reid. Young ha:
p, filed the company's proposition with

The Cabinet Says Spain Must Accept or
Reject our Demands.
WASHINGTON, Nov. l2.-The ad-
ministration has instructed the
American Commissioners at Paris
to bring the Philippine question to
a head next week, as result OF a
cabled report from Judge Day, re-
ceived this morning, indicating that
the negotiations were not advancing
as rapidly as the President desires.
The President thought it sutfi-
ciently important to require the i'm
mediate consideration of a special
Cabinet meeting, which was called
as soon as he had received the cable
gram.
At this meeting the situation at
Paris was thoroughly discussed un-
til general agreement was reached
that the American Commissioners
should be advised that the Spanish
members of the commission must be
brought to understand promptly
that they must definitely meet our
demand for the Philippines and
accept or reject it.
No formal ultimatum is t. be Civ
en-. but the main question is to be
settled speedily, so that the only
thing to be left open tn discussion
namely, the matter of compensation,
may be taken up at once.

The result is peace, and white

other ever will be.--Birmingham

As rule the colored people of the

Mississippi and Alabama Negroes Re-

Mississippi and Alabama Negroes Re
ceive Infamous Circulars BY Mail.
CHATTANOOGA, Nov. l2.-John
Day, of New Orleans, one of the
shrewdest detectives in the employ
ment of Uncle Sam, has just been
here on his way to Georgia and Ala
bama.
His coming revived the interest in
the infamous circulars sent out to
the negroes of Mississippi and Ala
bama some time since by parties un-
known, and for whose apprehension
the Government would give a good
round sum.
A badly torn copy of one of these
circulars was seen to-day. 1t had
been mailed recently from Alabama,
and it contained the vilest language,
urging negroes to outrage white wo-
men whenever they could, and do
all in their power to kill off the white
people. 1t was signed, "A Commit
| tee of the Rose Bud Club"
Efforts have been made to appre-
bend the parties who sent out these
incendiary circulars, but so far no
one has been able to locate them
PostotIice inspectors from this Office
have been at work on the matter
and have so far signally failed. Ne.
groes have been recently found who
have received these circular:
through the mails and the mailing
postotfices of number of the com
munications located but the inspec
tors have been unable by any kline
of decoys to get the guilty parties t.
betray themselves.
The authorities believe that thes,
circulars have had much to do will
many of the disorders that hayu
created so much apprehension il
Mississippi and portions of Alabama
and they are not sure but what the.
have had much to do with the con
dition Of things in North Carolina.
Mr.. Day, it is stated, is on the trac
of batch of these circulars said I
have been mailed from town i
Georgia.
