JIM YoUNG,s REGIMENT.
The Colonel in Ward Politics and the
Solulers Throwing Rocks at Citizen.


The presence of Jim Young at the

boss the negroes and running Radl-

was wanting, that the Federal Coy
eminent is wise when it refuses to put
negroes in command of regiments, and
puts negro troops under the command OF
white officers. No white officer would
be guilty of such partisanship or such
methods.
But that is not the only proof. The

against certain men in this regiment by
citizens living in the vicinity and by

These were thrown by some North Caro-
lima soldiers who were at the spring on
the other side Of the railroad. When the
citizen told them to watch where they
were throwing the soldiers replied by
cursng him and telling him if he didn't
like it he could go back to town. The
