An editor should indeed have

Of the black Radicals and their
helps among the lingering Popu-
lists and give them fitting expos

hoods(started up-to date is the one
that Democrats will disfranchise
niggers and white poor folks if they
get into power. AS to negroes,
we wish the constitution Of the
United States were changed and
negroes were disfranchlsed, as
ninety-fve per cent richly deserve

Democrats DISTINGUISHING any one
if they secure the legislature it is
all a lie out of the whole cloth.
They had control for fifteen or
twenty years of the legislature and
did not abridge them in their
rights, but fostered their inter

whites to educate negro children.

and showed a magnanlmous

of kindness, sympathy and good
will. The only possible way in
North Carolina to ever abridge
the rights Of negroes or any one
is ey a change ia the organic
law-the constitution of the
state. Whenever this is done il
must be by a popular vote. You
can not call a convention tC

the legislature to have a vote OF
all the electors as 20 whether
they desire it TO be called or not.

PASSING OF THE POPULISTS.

The Name election as we'll as
hat Of Arkansas dem onstrates the
rapid dissolution of the Populist
party. In some States fusion Is
taking away the identity Of the
Peoples Party, and in other States
the organization is simply going to
pieces. In no state Is the party
gaining ground; in most Of the
States il is rapidly going out of
sight. The middle-ofethe readers
may exist on paper until 1900,
but after hat date the party will
be unknown except among hlstor-
zeal students,
The party took definite form at
the Omaha convention of 1892,
and it had in that year in the war;
ious States fully a million adher-
ents, and, 1894, its vote was still
larger. In 1896 fusion was the
watchword, and 40 clear evidence
of the party strength can be gath-
cred. Disintegration set in last
year, however, and this year it
has become epidemic. Where fus-
ion tickets are not agreed upon,
voters practically refuse to far
Their support a Third party ticket,
and the contest Of 1900 is plainly
to be between the two chief parties
Of the country, with nc d~istracting
side issues or splits.
The Peoples Party has, how
ever, been very useful in creating
new issues. 1t put before the
country the influence corporate
wealth has over legislation; it ac-
customed the people to the consid.
Grafton Of q graduated income tax,
and it brought to the attention of
the people the need and value Of
direct legislation, known as the
referendum. All of these issues
and perhaps others, will survive
tie death Of the party that brought
them out, and years hence they
viii be fought out at the ballot
boxes, and some of them at least
promise to become valuable fea~
lures Of American policy. The pass
ing of the PopuIist party does not,
therefore, mean THAI wheat they
strove for is lost. They have exere
cised a powerful influence over po-
litical thought, and it viii be found
that everything practical and val
liable in their platforms will sur
7ive, and become beneficial law,
too.

seen that the Popolist machine
aids, abets, and stands pledged
to fasten negroism even more
firmly upon the people of the
Old North State than that which
at present curses u people.
Fellow citiz ms, I am a white
man, and l believe that this
country and Shis Safe should be
controlled by white men, and by
white men alone. I am for white
supremacy first, last and all the
time. l cannot stand with a party
which stands for negroism and
every species of wrong and mis-
government. La Craven county I
see the negroes are completely
in control of the Republican par
ty and yet the Popuiists are
moving Heaven and earth to ar
range fusion with such a crowd.
I cannot, will not. support any
such unholy movement and when

be found voting tie Democratic

can. which is the only ticket for

A Condensed ChrOnicling OF a
Weeks Happenings.

Wei, III JOuuSlOH COuEpJs
There is more sickness in our
community than there has been
in sometime, but non OF a ser
ious nature.
Messrs. Jack Sasser and Phil
Crawford spent Saturday and Sun
day near Kinston, prospecting"
returning Monday.
Misses EsteIle Perry, from
Princeton, and Mary Thompson,
were visiting Mrs. R. L. Hooks
one day last week.
Rev. Mr.. Mcfarland filled his
regular appointment at Pine For~
est Sunday evening, and preached
an excellent sermon.
Mr.. Daily Hines and Miss Fan
ME Jones spent Saturday night
at Mr.. Bud Lynch's, on their
way to the Association.
Mr.. James Northam, from
Wilmington, is spending a few
days with his aunt, Mrs. Ophelia
Crawford, on his way to Litlleton,
to enter school.
Mr.. Carl Wooten and family
have moved to Raleigh, where Mr..
Wooten has q position with Mes
srs. Royal & Borden in their
large furniture store.
There was preaching at Chapel,
near here, to-day by some Of the
good brethren on their return
from the association. A good
crowd was present.
Miss Sallie Woodland. from
your city, came out Saturday
morning and spent Saturday
night with friends near Prince
ton, on her way to old Union.
MI. and Mrs. Thos. MCGEE and
the 10y yer visiting in our
community Sunday evening,
where they have a host Of friends
who are always glad to see them.
There will be speaking at
Ebenezer Friday night by oar
neighbor Mr.. A. l.. Swinson-
We hope every man in Fork
township will go to hear him.
Ladies are also invited.
Cotton hands ares scarce article
with US and a good many farmers
are bringing them from town, and
taking them back every night.
We fail to see much money in cot
ton at the present price, hauling
hands and paying 40 cts. per hun
dred for picking.
Well. we stopped off for a short
while and went to the 'Sociatiop,
Notwithstanding the fact that
for the past week we had not had
time to ''cuss a cat" and were
getting to be almost a stranger
to the sweet influence Of Mors
pheus. We found ''my son john
and his folks" there, aud every
body else and their folks. too. In
fact. we have never seen sucn a
crowd, it was estimated at three
thousand, and if we were to
judge by the number of vehicles,
which were almost like sardines
in a box all over the ground and
down the roads for quite a diss
lance, we do not think the esti-
mate too much. There was lots
of goodpreaching, a considerable
amount of social pleasure. and
some counting, and altogethe,
was a most pleasant occasion
We have a high regard for ou1
Baptist brethren, and consider
them without d superior rs al

admire their untiring devotion tc
the cause they espouse and the
earnestness with which they at
tend upon the ordinances of their

A CARD.

To THE PUBLIC:-[n the selec-
ton of Registrars for Precinct
D in the city of Go1dsboro, l was
named as a representative Of the
Populist Party. At the time Of
my selection it was known to the
Chairman of the Popuiist Party
that l was not a Populist, but a
Democrat, but in these times I
am unwilling for any man to
suppose that I expect to vote
other than the Democratic ticket
this year, and l therefore deem
il due to myself and to my friends
to say that I am not a Populist
| but a Democrat, and shall sups
port the Democratic ticket in the
coming election.
l was once a Popuiist, but
under the conditions existing in
North Carolina to-day, and since
that party has fused with the
Republicans and is aiding in the
permanent establishment of nes
gro rule in the State I am CONS
PEELED to cast my lot with the
Democracy, and adyise all men
who love their country 10 do
likewise.
