Rev. Nr. StringfoId on the ADgio-
49, saxon Race.

(Raleigh News and Observer
Rev. o. l.. Struggled, financial agent
of the Baptist university, is one OF tho
best men in North Carolina and one of
the most effective pulpit and platform
orators in the state. He is known lit
orally, from Cherokee to C~urrituck,
having spoken in nearly every county
in the state. Wherever he has gone
he has made friends by his sincerity,
openness, and inability. His travels
over the state have made him familiar
with the social and political conditions
all over North Carolina. He is a plain
spoken man, a man who has a habit OF
saying what he thinks, and better still.
he has a habit OF thinking right. He
is a successful Christian minister who
believes that patriotism is next TO
Christianity, and that they are OF close
kin.
A few days ago at the Kings Noun
tain Association, Mr.. Springfield was
speaking on foreign missions, and de-
clared with fervor: The Almighty
has made the Anglo Saxon race his
hope in the worlds evangelization."
That is a truth that all the world nov
accepts. The announcement OF that
truth, connected with a discussion ON
foreign missions, offended a fusion pie
eater who had gone TO the association
to electioneer, and when he heard the
word Anglo Saxon" he thought Mr..
Struggled was making a democratic
| speech, and he made a spectacle OF
himself by getting up and walking out
| Mr.. Struggled then proceeded to tell
a few truths that ought TO be known
to every man in the state. A reporter
of The Cleveland Star said OF his ad-
dress:
In the course of his address on for
eign missions, Rev. o. l.. Struggled
had occasion TO refer TO negro domi-
nation in eastern North Carolina and
he made some statements that must
have had a good effect on all honest
men. Mr.. Struggled has travelled all
over the state and he told the people
that not one twentieth OF the horrors
OF negro domination had been pub
lished in the papers. That IL was i'm
| possible to paint the picture as black
as 1t really is. and he urged the white
men in the west TO come TO the rescue
Of their brethren in the east at the bal
lot o in November. 1t Is said hat
n pOpulist candidate in this county
who was present, arose and walked ous
| OF the house thus manifesting his IN
willingness TO hear the truth even
: when it came from the pulpit. All OF
the visiting ministers from the east.
and those who have Travelled over the
state, in private conversation with tho
editor, confirmed the statements made
By Rev. Mr.. Struggled n expressed
their willingness TO make afidavits 20
these statements. Will any man In
Cleveland county get so low down as
TO say that ministers OF the gospel
would be guilty OF assisting in circu-
lating what some worthless are pleas
| ed to term democratic lies?"

Letter From Rev. Jesse Ill
Page.
charlotte Observer

The strongest portrayal Of condi-
tons existing in eastern North Caro-
lima under negro rule comes from Rev.
Jesse H. Page, who has been heard be-
fore in this connection. Mr.. w. A.
Campbell, of this county, wrote to Mr..
Page, inQuiring into the authenticity
of previous letters written by him.
Mr.. Pages reply is as follows:
Rockingham, n. c., September %.
My Dear Brother:-Your favor Of
the oath received this morning, and
l comply with our request to answer
by return mail.
/ wrote the letter to H. A. Gilleland
and every word in it is true; also one
to Mr.. Yount, of Newton, and to Sauh-
ders, at Monbo, all Of which were pub
lished in the papers in your section OF
the state. Every doubter of the state
ment made in regard to the ~deplorable
condition Of many of the eastern coun-
ties under negro rule can have his
doubts speedily removed by coming
down and seeing with his own eyes.
There are IL negro magistrates in this
county, one in my town, and there are

double this number. Negro road over
seers, with white men at work under
them; negro ~constables and deputy
sheriffs serving writs On white men
and white ladies, and sometimes ar
resting them and bringing them for
trial to negro dens, before ignorant
and vile negro officials; negro school
committeeman, having white teachers;
young ladies as well as men, come be-
fore them for authority TO teach and
get their pay.
You ask what l think your duty is
in western and central Carolina. l un-
hesitatingly answer: Vote solidly
against every candidate on the repub-
lican, populist and fusion ticket, for
every office. This is your duty to God
and your fellow men.
Sincerely,
JESSE H. PAGE.

Cubans Suffering for Food

New York. October 6.-The members
of the Cuban junta here are much con
cerned about the stories Of suffering
from lack of food received by them
from the Cuban army. Letters have
come which state that the condition
of the army and of the rural popula-
tion in Cuba is now worse than it has
been even during the continuance Of
the war; The junta officials here
maintain that the course adopted by
the Spanish is resulting effectually in
causing death to the Cuban insurgents
and pacifcos as did the policy of re-
concentration and determination
adopted by Weyler. -k

domain. The colored men of the south
does not want to go to Africa nor to
the west. He prefers this climate and
this soil. Bishop Petty saw that any
plan which contemplated an exodus Of
his people, and colonization by them
of new territory would lot be popular.
Knowing that the negro prefers TO
stay in the south, Bishop Petty hit
upon the bold scheme of colonizing a
southern state with his race and he be-
lieved North Carolina was the one in
which to make the attempt.
