Where 0 Minority
Of NEGROES Rule

Greenyille. n c., September fl H.
Tucker, J. u. Murphy and w = James,
all having once been residents of this
place. can no doubt verify. either from
personal knowledge or from reasonable
h"arsay evidence, much that l may
have to say Of negro rule -
f,jtt is on OF the Ia 90. Lost
productive agricultural counties in the
state. and this town is its capital It's
nyuuIatiun is about 5000 The products
ID the county are principally cotton, to
baccO ANA peanuts. 1t has water and
rail transportation facilities. 1t IS
reached by rail on the Atlantic Coast
Line and by water on the Tar river. Be
t..a.n 5 v.n and ten million pounds o.
leaf topacco are sold here annually. It
has two flCurishing buggy factories.
and IS Il busy town except on Sunday,
when you must go TO church or TO
sleep. there being no mails arriving on
that day and no newspapers to dis
tract.
4 NEGROIZED TOWN.
This is one of the towns that the flu
sion Legislature of 1895 negroiZed. This
WAS done by method absolutely in
defensible from any standpoint. 1t was
not done on the theory supposed to
prevail in a republican or democratic
form of government. that the majority
shall rule. On the contrary, it was
deliberate and successful attempt to
give the minority the power to rule the
Majority And this viola ton of the
very fundamental principle of our gov
eminent could not even offer as an ex-
cuse for its enormity that the minority
Nas intelligent and ought to control,
and the majority was ignorant and
ought not.
GOOD GOVERNMENT NOT
WANTED.
The reverse of this is the fact. The
minority that controls GreenVille today
IS an ignorant minority. an incompetent
minority a vicious minority, dishOn-
est minority. This minority has not
interest in good government. 1t does
not want good government. | heard the
chairman of the Board of County Com
missioners (who is a Populist and a
man of property today tell the mayor
that the selling of whiskey on Sunday
should be stopped in the interest of
good morals. to say nothing of good
government. and the reply was: 1T
cannot be done. In other words, he dld
not want it done.
HOW 1T WAS DONE.
In order to put Greenville under the
islature of 1895 passed a bill laying off
the town in four wards. BY a gerry
mander the like of which has perhaps
never been known for crookedness of
lines and alteration of territory, these
wards were so shaped that the negroes
would carry two wards and the whites
two wards. At the late May election
the number of voters in these wards
were as follows.

A letter was received yes;e. day by F. z.
Hussey, in charge u the Seattle bead
quarters or the Skagway RAILROAD. from r.
{. Hawkins. VINO Is now in Alaska giving
the work Of constructing the road his per-
sonal supervision In his .et1er Mr.. Hawk
igs states that the road is now completed
to Porcupine niB. distance ~ seven miles
from the wharf f. mas now become neces-
sary 10 run two short tunnels through solid
rock. and TWO comp.ete outfits, necessary
for the performance Of this work, have al
ready been shipped 10 SkAggay. MIR.
Hawkins is anxious 10 have the rolling
stock shipped north AZ the earliest possible
date, ami MIR. Husssy ~ theoretically at
work making extensive preparations not
only for the shipment of rolling stock but
Of much other ma teria. which is 10 be used
In the work OF constructing the road.
skagway has already commenced TO feel
the benefit OF this railroad project. Thou
sands OF dollars have already been paid out
IN wages. The workmen are all paid in
currency. and large part OF the money is
placed In immediate circulation. A large
part Of the money which IS not expended
in Skagway Is sent 10 Seattle and other
cities in the United States, and Postmaster
Meem says that the money order business
now transacted between the two places is
larger than ever before, and he attributes
the increase TO the new railroad To a
Post-Intelgencer reporter yesterday Mr..
Hussey said:
THE pay roll for the month Of June will
be $1,000 and that amount has already
been shipped TO Skagway. The employees
VIII be paid for the June work on July 20
The amount OF the pay roll will be in
creased III proportion 10 the increase that
from time 10 time. Many new men have
been secured from different cities in the
West and no time is TO be lost in having
them reach SkagHay.
During the coming week We will ship
400 tons OF coal 10 Skagway. and il is high
~ probable that it viii be purchased from
Puget sound operators. This shipment will
be the very first 10 be made. The coal,
of course. is TO be used in firing up the
locomotives Mr.. Hawkins is particularly
anxious TO receive the rolling stock, and
ten fiat cars and one additional locomotive
Will be sent north on the Skookum next
week. together with a large shipment of
rails and piling, now being loaded at
Smith cove The ShirleX. which Is now at
Everett. has 6oo.00o feet of lumber aboard.
and IL will be taken TO Skagway on Sunday
by the tug Tacoma. The Colorado will
also be sent north in a few days with an
other large cargo
Arrangements have just been made 10
send some passenger coaches 10 Skagway
from Seattle during the next two weeks,
and II would not be surprising 10 hear of
trains running over the road before the
lire is built through TO Lake Bennett. Dur
ing the past week We shipped $50 tons OF
powder TO Skagway from San Francisco.
aHa ether shipments are t4 fellow :.
Mr.. Hussey In conclusion stated that
there Was no doubt that the road would
be completed and in operation this fall be-
tween Skagway and Lake Bennett.

LONG VOYAGE BEFORE HER.
The Susquehnnna Will shortly Sail
for MANILA With Coal.

NEWPORT NEWS VA, September
14.-(Special)-Th converted yacht
Stranger arrived here to-day, and is now
anchored in the river opposite the city.
1t is thought the trim little craft will be
put out of commission in a few weeks.
The transport Panama arrived at the
ship-yard this afternoon and will go into
the dry-dock for repairs. She brought
sick soldiers to the hospital at Fort Mon
roe from Porto Rico.
The sailing ship Susquehanna is lying
at Old Point with a cargo of 1900 tons Of
government coal, consigned TO Dewey
fleet at Manila. She will probably sail
tonight or tomorrow. She goes out
by way of Cape Horn. and on her return
voyage will come by way Of the Cape of
Good Hope. When on her way up the
Atlantic to New York she crosses the
path which she took on her outward
voyage, and will have circumnavigated
the globe. With the six weeks which
will be spent at Manila discharging and
taking on cargo, 1t will take her about
ten months to make the trip.
The Susquehanna is one Of the finest
sailing ships afloat. She is the pro-
perty of Arthur Sewell, of Bath. Me.
late candidate for the Vice-presidency on
the Democratic ticket. Her commander
Is John j. Sewell, nephew Of that gen
tlCman.
