The following communication appeared
in the Winston Reb1biiC6H. We did MOI
pnblish il at the time, but have waited
and taken the time to ascertain whether
or not the statements made were facts.
We have found that they are true But
even il we had published 1t then and had
afterwards learned that 1t was a lie, We
would have been fair. honest and decent
enough 10 have made the corrections.
The communication in full Is as follows:

cat the last September term of John
ston Court Rufus Parker, a white man
and a leading Democrat. was convicted
for having hired a negro. Ben Bum, to
cowhide T. w. Boyd, a white man. who
was also a Democrat. Parker sent the
negro to tell Boyd he wanted him at his
house. and when the latter came he sent
him to his barn lot, and Parker went and
stood by while the negro whipped Boyd
with horse whip, cutting him severely
Parker's brother was a Democratic
Justice of the Peace and he issued war
rant against the negro Immediately and
fined him one penny and costs. In the
face of all these facts a host OF Demo-
Gratis testified in court to the good char
acter of Parker, some of whom testified
to the bad character of Boyd, though
some of them gave him good character,
and all who knew him testified that he
was a sickly fellow with but little sense.
After the jury convicted Parker and
the court ordered him in custody OF the
Sheriff, his hosts of admiring friends inn
plored the court not to sent him to Jail
for the night as he could give bond in
any amount for his appearance the next
morning, but he went TO Jail.
The next morning the Nancy Hanks"
of the Democratic party c. B. Aycock,
appeared in behalf of Parker, but the
court was memorable, and sent him to
Jail for six moths.
The Democratic constable at Selma
was also convicted for getting drunken
white man in the back yard of a bar-room
at Selma, to be horse-whipped by one
Preston Blackman and Jas. Parker. This
Democratic official was sent to Jail for
twelve months, and Blackman, who was a
Democratic local heeler. was at the same
term convicted of stealing an OK, the
property of DR.. Wick, and sent to the
Penitentiary for one year. Jas. Parker,
who is the nephew of New York bank
er, has sufficient political pull to get in
to the lunatic asylum until after court
adjourns.
This is the way things are worked in

AN AGGRAVATED AND INFAMOUS
CASE.
One of the most aggravated and imam
Gus cases of Democratic tool instigatior
of meanness for political ends occurred
at Wilmington since the 18th of August
1893. A negro named Manly conducts {
paper in that city, and has beyond doub
been made the scapegoat of the vile
meanness of some Democratic machine
touter. He recently published the fol
lowing impudent and villainous editorial
"Poor white men are careless in the
matter of protecting their women, es
pecially on farms: they are careless O.
their conduct toward them, and our ex
perience among poor white people in the
country teaches us that the women o.
that race are not any more particular ii
the matter of clandestine meetings with
the colored men than are the white mer
with colored women. Meetings of thi:
kind 20 on for some time until the wo
hans infatuation or the mans boldnes:
bring attention to them, and the man is
lynched for rape Every negro lynched
Is called big. burly, black brute,
when in fact many of those who have
thus been dealt with had white men TO,
their fathers. and were not only not
black and 'burly,' but were sufficiently
attractive for white girls of culture and
refinement to fall in love with them, az
Is veil known to ALL"
The insufferable and infamous SANDER
contained in this utterance is sufficient
to madden anybody, but the well-found
ed suspicion of the main cause and insti
cation of it is worse. The negro make:
no sort of pretence of belonging to the
Peoples Party. >He is officially repudiat
ed and condemned by the Republican
party, and the unavoidable conclusion i.
that he is tool and scapegoat of the De
mocratic machine. And this does no
appear to be all. The Democratic ma
chine papers, of course, gobbled up thi
editorial, and are trying to make politi
cal ''nigger question" campaign thunde
of it from one end of the State to tn,
other. And in addition to this, it Seems
that another low, vile, Democratic ma
chine tool wrote an anonymous note t.
the negro. stating that he must leave tn
town in twenty-four hours, or caused
spreading of the report that such not
had been written. This was for the evi
dent purpose of instigating race riot
over which more campaign thunder woult
have been made, but it failed.
The Republican County Committee o
New Hanover county thus officially re
pudiates both the negro and the SANDER
as follows:
