After Negro Immigrants

Captain r. A. Williams, widely
known as Peg Leg Williams, the ia
nous emigration agent, who had
many a lively experience while hunt
ing up hands in North Carolina to
AXE to the west or to the Florida tur-
pentine fields, arrived in the city yes
terday smiling all over his jolly face.
He is after from 1000 to 1900 negroes
whom he wants to go to mississippi,
Tennessee and Arkansas to pick cot
ton. He offers to take them out and
let them pick cotton at 80 cents a hum
dred to repay their passage. He says
the fields out in the state named are
white with cotton and it is wasting in
the fields out in the states named are
it. We are told by Captain Williams
that the Delta Cotton Company alone
has 5000 bales of cotton yet to be
picked.
The jolly emigration agent thinks
he will be welcome to North Carolina
now, judging from the talk abou scat
tering the negroes during the election
time. He laughingly tells of the time,
in 1891, when a committee at New
Bern gave him 80 minutes to dig out,
but he gave them Is minutes back and
waved his hand at them from a friend
1y train which came by. Peg Leg
knows what it is himself to be asked
to on.
Captain Williams informs us hat he
has signed up fifty negro families at
Greenwood, S. G. They are going to
make their homes out west.

The negroes own comparatively moth

sions TO government, therefore. are not
only preposterous Impossible - IN
themselves, but they are rendered ad-
ditionally untenable by the folly Of
race segregation and the setting up OF
a purely race hypothesis. They will
not permit the whites TO adopt and to
promote the individual negro who has
made himself respected by his personal
worth. The whites must do for the
negro what they will not do for their
own race-accept them as a whole and
at a uniform appraisement. The ne
groes. in a word, are demanding, not
equality, but superiority, and the end
of their ridiculous pretensions must

ITS THINKING CAP ON.
Baltimore Herald.)

Than the Providence, Or. ID Journal
few republican papers have mad more
genuine progress towards understand
ing the situation at the south and
treating southern issues fairly. 1t is
true that every now and then the Jour
nal seems to drop back a little in re-
spect Of this matter, but these lapses
generally bear internal evidences Of
its having mislaid its thinking cap for
the time being. Be that as it may,
however, it is pretty certain that it has
had on its thinking a since the re-
cent troubles in North and South Caro-
lima.
In its issue Of Wednesday in discuss
ing these troubles. the Journal says
that the republican politicians who are
trying TO induce the president to inter-
fere in the race troubles in North and
South Carolina are very poor politi-
clans, and if their advice is followed
the administration will have reason TO
regret its mistake. Our Providence
contemporary scouts the notion that
the presidents advisers look upon the
question from any other standpoint
than a partisan One-that is. that they
care anything for the poor negro
and adds:
interference, with them REPUBLICAN
politicians), mean resort TO legal pre-
texts for employing federal courts. and
perhaps, federal troops, in the states
where race troubles have become acute.
with the hope Of so overawing the peo-
pie that the white republican local
leaders and their negro followers can
recover their lost ground"
That tells the story as clearly and as
fully as any southern democratic
paper could have told it. At the same
time, considering the source. il is a
scathing commentary upon republican
hypocricy in dealing with the negro.
But the Journal does not stop here
After directing attention to the fact
that 1.-The attempt t coerce the south
by force bills and bayonets has been
made again and again in the last thirty
years and the result is only a record OF

washington On. c. Messenger.)
The great work of this distinguished
man IN the recent campaign seems to
have escaped the notice of the press
since the election.
This is the second time Governor
Jarvis has been a principal factor in
the redemption of North Carolina
from republican misrule. In 1869 and
1870 he was our bulwark of safety in
the Legislature and along with Plato
Durham he made so gallant a fight in
the house that we obtained control of
the next general assembly. In 1876 he
was selected as Vance's mate and put
on a ticket that crushed re~publicanism
in North Carolina. The gigantic ser
vices of Jarvis in those days need not
be ~recounted. They can never be for
gotten. 1t is something that seldom
falls to the lot of man to be n of
the chief factors in the second re-
demption of his native state. Yet such
it is, to the glory of Governor Jarvis.
At the opening of this campaign he
was placed on the central managing
committee. 1t is said that our great
campaign book issued by our state
committee, a veritable arsenal of po-
litical ammunition, was principally the
work and compilation of Jarvis. His
campaign this yea extended over the
entire state from Cherokee to Tyrrell.
From early in July to election day
he travelled hundreds of miles and
gave every day to the service of his
states and his party. His speeches
upon the great issue were unsurpass-
ed, and of Tremendous vote-getting
power.
Such unequalled services, rendered
so faithfully and SO constantly for
thirty years, ought never to be forgot
ten.
Had not the senatorial career OF
Thomas J.. Jarvis been nipped in it's
beginning by the killing frost Of flu
sion he would now be a political char
acter of national proportions. His is
truly clarum ct venerable nomen.

Upon one thing they tthe

victions through a long and palnIuI
experience. and that is not TO allow the
control OF local affairs 10 come INTO

whites"
That is another paragraph that
might have been written in a southern
democratic newspaper office. 1t states
the case exactly. and justities the at
titude OF the southern whites on the
race issue. Whatever betide, the intel
ligent white man is going 10 control
in the south.

pregnant with wholesome advice 10 the
administration and its party, but

THE WILMINGTON METHOD.
New Bern JOurnal.)

NEW boGu JOuIudl.D
The race trouble in North and South
Carolina, growing out Of the election
have attracted attention and comment
from press. pulpit and speakers
throughout this country.
1t has beer a very live topic, this
trouble at Wilmington, n. c., and yet
in the very diversified opinions eX-
pressed, in the multitude Of those who
have had their say, the preponderence
of opinions favor the act OF the Will
mingtOnians, and supports the Waddell
administration.
The talk of national interference
with the people of Wilmington because
they protected themselves against the
negroes, had as much sense in it, as it
would if President Mckinley was ask
ed to send troops to enforce local pO-
lice regulations which might be needed
in any southern town or city.
The people of Wilmington simply
took charge Of their own affairs, put
their own people in charge of the city,
and formed a municipality based upon
law and order, instead Of one which
had been III against all rules and good
citizenship and the protection Of prop
eTly tights.
If a few negroes lost their lives in
the changes from a city government
of disorder, to one of order, it was not
to be wondered at.
How many local disorders take place
in northern cities, yet there is never
a word of national interference.
The fact is the negro has been living
upon a false basis, sustained by the
good will of the southern people.
The negro because he has been given
many privileges of citizenship, more
than he earned, has imagined that he
was standing upon his own bottom,
and was in every way the equal of the
white man.
Filled with this idea, the negro had
forced himself forward until his entire
| weight was upon the white mans prog
ress, keeping him back, socially, pOlit-
ically and commercially.
The negro still filled with his own
Importance, crowded more and more,
until the white men removing the prop
of white influence and support, let the
negro feel how very much alone he
was to run city and state by his own
intelligence and person.
The Wilmington method may appear
a little harsh, but necessary reforms
usually come hard, to those concerned.
But the lesson taught by Whining
ton is that the negro must hereafter
rely solely upon himself for advance
ment, and will not be held up so that
he can any longer imagine hat he is
the person running the country in
which he lives.

Troubles for the Negro

There seems to be just now a recru-
people Of the south. Numerous lynch
ings are reported for alleged crimes,
a concerted and systematic movement
is on foot in certain parts Of the south
to deprive the negroes of their politi-
cal rights. and in one of our north
ern states Gllinois) imported colored
laborers from the south have been
driven back by armed mObs. All this
coming at a time when sectional feel
ings and issues in the United tSates
have seemed to be largely disappear
ing by reason of the war, and when
the negroes themselves had apparent
ly grown in public estimation 10y rea-
son Of their bravery and efficier Y as
sOldiers-at such a time this revival of
the race war is disappointing and dis
cOuraging. For the existing state Of
things there is doubtless a measure of
blame on both sides; but il is hard
to understand at this distance why the
white citizens of the south should re-
sort at his time to the violent meas
ures they are adopting TO right their
real or imagined wrongs. Surely there
is some method more civilized han the
rope or the shot gun to correct such
evils as may actually exist. We can
not believe. on the other hand. that If
the cOlOred people generally would fol-
low the advice Of such leaders as Pro-
fessOr Booker T. Washington they
would encounter as much a~ntagonism
as they do. He has told them. among
other things, to let politics alone for a
time. and devote their energies 10 edu-
c~ational and industrial development.
Hard as the situation may be for them
socially and politically, they will have
to accept the facts as they are. n give
up any present aspirations they may
have for social and political recogni-
ton and preferment. In any other
course they are bound 70 run against
deep seated and inericable prejudices.
and stir up strife and bloodshed. This
is the plain truth Of the matter. and il
is useles TO try TO get around IL by ar
guing about popular rights. free and
equal political privileges, the brother
hood OF man, and all that. Racial
prejudice may disappear in the course
OF generations, but the time is far dis
tant at the best. The only wise and
p~eaceable course for the cOlOred people
10 pursue is TO turn their thoughts and
energies 10 education. industry and
self-improvement. and leave other
things TO solve themselves by the prog
ress Of enlightment and Christianity.
