SOME VERY PLAIN TALK.
What the Wilmington and Char
Iotte Papers Say About the
Situation. The Whites
Will Win.

that the hardware houses
of that city are 'tiiling large orders TOR
arms and ammunition for white people
in Wilmington and other cities Of east
crn North Carolina to defend them
selves il case Of negro outbreaks OF vlo-
lcncc in the November election. The
papers say that the negroes
there are also arming: in fact, they have
printed an order for arms sent by he
groes to L northern manufacturing firm
and forwarded BY them to their agents
in that city,
The following editorial from the
Wilmington Messenger Of Thursday
shows the critical tension Of affairs
there:
There is nothing truer in history or
politics than that the white men Of
Wilmington are resolved to continue to
be white and free and indendent Of the
negroes. They have been bossed, ter
rorized and oppressed by the fellow in
BLACK" just as long as they intend to be.
Sooner than submit to past conditions
and have continued present conditions,
they will make it very hot for all trans
gressors and offenders. This is not
bluster. but plain fact The man who
does not know this is either blind or a
fool. The white race from the dawn OF
civilization and the beginning Of histor-
ic records to now has been the ruling
race All that is worth the name Of
civilization, progress. humanity, be-
nevolcnce, mercy, justice, righteous
ness, wisdom, power, have come from
through and by the white man. The
Negro has not been remotely In 1t. He
is barbarian in his native woods and
wilds. He is not very much improved
in the land of the free and home Of
the brave" after 300 years of tutelage
and association and example and gov
ernment of the whites. He is barbaric
deep down in his nature. Arouse his
evil passion and he is hardly better
than his kind beyond seas in the deep
jungles of the Black continent.
The white man is weary Of bad rule
by negro votes. He is becoming dread
fully restive under the outrage and ami
mostly. Of 46 States, our own is the
only one cruelty. destructively ,domi-
mated by wicked, vicious, degraded
black bossing. This will be stopped or
it will be known why.
It's the simple truth that Whining
ton means to be free. The millions of
property here cannot be wantonly,
wickedly sacrificed to give place for
grub to incompetent and offensive Mig
gers. This is more than will be longer
submitted to. Think of 5 per cent. Of
taxpayers governing and taxing 93 per
cent. Of taxpayers. 1t is an outrage
and disgrace beyond all tolerance or
comparison. The white men will prove
crayens and time-servers who will
quietly submit and let the five use the
Negroes for the spoilation and ruin of
a city. That is indeed breaking the
submissive camel's back. Do not put
that last feather on or something heavy
may be heard to drop.
This goodly city settled by white
men is to be henceforth governed by
white men. Let that be understood and
much trouble will be avoided. If by
any combination of circumstances Ne
gro rule shall continue here, there are
some people who will be sternly held
responsible for the disgrace and aflic-
ton. \ word to the wise ought to be
sufficient, But there is none so blind
but the one who will not see. If Ne
gro rule were fixed for two years after
the first of January next, many good
citizen and family would lea7e.for other
towns and some for other States, where
the whites are respected and can live in
peace and safety among white people.
But the rule of Sambo is doomed. It's
useless for him to kick against the
pricks.
If we cannot defend our 60 r from The

Let Us &c Worried
Even the Charlotte Observer, one of
the most moderate and calm and sweet
ofour contemporaries, makes
this prediction;
We believe the Democrats are, to
carry the State next month. The ma
jority against them is formidable, but
there are cases in which obstacles
connt for nothing. Talking recently
with Democratic citizen Of a county
which in the last election gave an enor-
nous fusion majority, he declared to
the writer, with the utmost confidence.
that it would go Democratic this year.
But how are you going to carry it,?
he was asked. Il don't know, was
the reply. but We are going to carry
it" That is the spirit which wins vic
tories. removes mountains or does al
llost anything. When the Anglo-Saxon
wills to do thing he finds way.
That is the history Of the race, and the
Anglo Saxon people of North Carolina
are aroused now as We never have
known them to be before Their dear
est interests are at stake and they pro-
pose to safeguard them.
The Observers right. The unity OF
the whites in this State won against
10000 Negro majority in 1876; any ap-
proach to unity among the white ma
jority in North Csrolina will win anoth-
,r such victory We hope that this
result will be reached without blood
she'd but th't it will be reached some
now, now that the race issue is made:
seems inevitable. Columbia State.
