WHITE MEN NOT THE AGGRESSORS.

Referring to the recent shooting OF
three white men by negroes at Ashpole,
a prominent citizen of Laurinburg writes
us:
''This incident will show you the spirit
of the negroes in this part of the coun-
try. and will convince any reasonable
man that the firm stand taken by the
white men of Richmond county, in their
efforts to preserve law and order, and to
warn the negroes and their white leaders
of the danger of race trouble is actuated
by motives that should and do com
mend themselves to every lover of peace
and good government. The white men
of Richmond county have been prudent
and have given the negroes wholesome
advice and if they will not heed our
words of counsel, then, if trouble should
come, they can depend upon the white
men to do their full duty"

cannot read this calm and true statement

1t is from prudent Northern-born bust
ness men who in the homes of their birth
invariably voted the Republican ticket
and believed in Republican principles.
But they properly recognize that the
gang Of thieves and incompetents now
in control of North Carolina, do not rep

were taught in their homes, but is an
organized brigandage. waging war on
all that makes for stability and good

KATIE AND THE BABY.

The Negro-Fusion party in Durham
nominated Mr.. w. T. Mangum, of Leba-
non township, for magistrate. lie de-
clines the place in letter that will strike
a responsive chord in the heart of every
good man in the State. He wrote:
II believe the race to which | belong
is the first in the world, and am unwill-
ing to consign in any measure the gov
eminent of my State and county to any
other race. In behalf of Katy and the
baby of the white man and white met
al, | am forced by a conviction that will
not be hushed, to appeal to their only
champion and advocate, the Democratic
party, and / earnestly beg my Populst
friends to vote with me"
Every man who loves his wife and
baby ought to do likewise.

ANOTHER OBJECT LESSON.

1t is not only Eastern North Carolina
that is interested in White Supremacy
it is the whole State.
In Buncombe as well as in Halifax
and Richmond, the negro of the lowest
order feels that he has license to COM
nit crime, now that his party is in
power, and white woman in Bnncombe
has been outraged as well as in Rich
mond. In addition to the outrages, the
lives of women have been made miser-
able from fear In Macon county, one
of the most extreme Western counties,
the Franklin Press gives the following
incident, illustrating what happens
under Radical rule in Western North
Carolina:
About o'clock yesterday morning
Rev. c. +. Sherrill's family was startled
by screams from Il rear bed room of the
parsonage occupied by Hattie Love, II
young white girl staying with Mr.. Sher-
rill and attending the high school. She
was awakened by Il violent shaking of
the sash when she saw negro attempt
ing to raise the sash and force himself
hurriedly into the room. On his discov-
cry that the girl was going to make
alarm he threatened to shoot if she
screamed, using very vile language,
coupled with the threat.
THE iend was prevented from car
rying out his diabolical design by the
stick that was placed over the sash to
. f.,lI - 81
sashes thus preventing the sash being
raised more than a few inches. If the
stick had fallen in the room the demon
could have readily thrust himself
through the window, and the conse-
quences would have been far more seri-

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
THE SUPREME COURT TO THE
RESCUE.
New York World.

IESCJ II.
New York World.
The Supreme Court of the United
States yesterday rendered a very impor-
tant decision against the Joint Traffic
Association. In effect this decision Is:
/. That the Antitrust law of Con
gress is valid and constitutional.
,. That all attempts to evade 1t by
''joint traffic" or other agreements are
illegal and void.
The effect of the decision is:
/. TO break up the Joint Traffic Asso
citation.
>. To forbid all agreements between
railroads for any sort of pooling"
3. To enforce the Antitrust law,
which aims at compelling the railroads,
in return for the rich franchise given
to them by the people, to render to all the
people alike an equal service at an equal
price.
4. To make it incumbent upon the At
torney-General promptly to bring SUITS
TO break up the other oppressive trnSts,
list Of which is printed i'll the World
to-day.
The decision makes for right and Jus
tee. 1t carries out the manifest PER
pose of the law, as the World has stead
lastly contended. It does equal justice
to all the people. And this is what
laws and cOurts-especally the Supreme
Court-were created for.
This decision will go far to confirm
the reliance of the people in the honesty.
the Justice and the trusIworthiness of
their Supreme Court. 1t will, if properly
followed up do more to stop the growth
of popular discomfort and the spread of
anarchistic theories than any political
event of the past dozen years.

"UNSCRUPULOUS MEN" WHO USE foul
MEANS"

Some weeks ago the Biblical Recorder
published an editorial advocating the dis
reimbursement of illiterate voters. The
Recorder has been making an aggressive
fight for better public schools, and along
this line has reached the conclusion that
no man ought to be allowed to vote
unless he can read and write. Mr.. Bal
ley's position agrees with that of the New
England Republicans and the Mississippi
Democrats, and with very many thought
full men in other portions Of the country.
no sooner had the Recorders editorial
appeared, however, than the managers
of the Fusion campaign-"uncrupul
men, as Mr.. Bailey calls them-set to
work deliberately, dishonorably and
falsely" to make use of the editorial
distort the position of the Democratic
party. They printed it by the thousand
and sent it broadcast over the State, and
said it was written by Mr. Bailey, a
leader of the Democratic party, and
tried to make the people believe it rep
resented the position of tn Democratic
party in North Carolina.
Elsewhere we copy an editorial from
the Biblical Recorder which character
ICES the circular in strong and vigorous
English, and tells the truth about the
outfit of Fusion managers in these plain
words:
GALL WE HAVE TO SAY is THAT
ANYTHING ELSE THEY MAY SAY
OR SEND OUT WILL BE REGAR-
DED AS THE UTTERANCES OF
UNSCRUPULOUS MEN WHO HAVE
NO PRINCIPLES TO STAND FOR,
AND WHOSE CREED is THAT THE
OFFICES THEY ARE SEEKING
JUSTIFY THE FOUL MEANS THEY
HAVE RESORTED TO TO GET
THEM"
The people have taken the same meas
ure of the Fusion managers that the
Recorder has written down so correctly,
and that is why the party of the White
Man is gaining recruits from all other
parties every day.

REPUBLICANS BY THE SCORE.

We gave facts yesterday showing
that. since many of the better class OF
Republicans and Populists had joined
hands with their Democratic neighbors
to restore decent government III North
Carolina, there are now but two parties
in the State. One is the White Supre-
macy. composed of all white men who
want to turn out the present gang. The
other is the Negro Supremacy, composed
of 10000 negroes and the miserable
pie-eaters'' and their retainers.
1t is gratifying to see men who have
heretofore voted the Republican ticket,
particularly progressive Northern born
good government in the home of their
adoption, where they have won the con-
fidence of all their fellow citizens. They
are not only going to vote for White
Supremacy, but they give strong argu-
ments in favor of white rule The fol-
lowing is from FIVE leading business men
of Newbern. will have weight with every
patriotic voter in North Carolina:
To Our Fellow Citizens of North Caro-
lima:
Prior to our residence in North Caro-
lima, we the undersigned, invariably sup
ported the Republican ticket. We still
believe in the fundamental principles of
the Republican party; but we here and
now distinctly announce our intention of
voting the Democratic ticket at the COM
ing election:
For the past two years we have wit
messed the fruits of IL Republican adj
ministration in North Carolina. 1t has
resulted in Il condition which is Sutfi-
cient to call forth a protest from every
self respecting white man. We firmly
believe in Anglo-SaXon supremacy, and
N..l therefore vote to abolish the present
disgraceful state of public affairs III
North Carolina.
We earnestly appeal to all Republicans
who believe in White Supremacy to
unite with us in our effort to restore
good and honest government in the old
North State.

THE RACE ISSUE REVIVED.

In his Charlotte speech Senator Pritch-
ard said that some years ago Mr.. John
d. Bellamy had written a communication
in the News and Observer stating that
the race issue was dead.
1t was dead until Senator Pritchard
filled the postoffices of the East with
impudent negro officials; until Governor
Russell elevated horde of insulting ne
groes to office; until the Legislature
turned over Eastern cities and towns to
negro rule; until over 800 negro magis-
trates, incapable and often vicious, were
made Judges of white people; until white
ladies could not teach white public
schools without getting the endorse
ment of negro school committeeman:
until a refined lady teacher was subjected
to the indignity of having a drunken
negro school committeeman inspect her
school; until nearly 1000 negroes were
put in office in North Carolina; until
there were twenty outrages or attempted
outrages upon white women within three
years, every one in county governed by
negroesand their white allies; until the
conduct of the baSest negroes made VIC
men and their daughters in the rural dis
tricts afraid to leave their homes with
out a protector, even in the day time,
until partisan Republican judges dis
eliminated against white men in their
courts; until negro office-holders demand
ed to sit with white people in public
places: until the negroes had asserted
their intention to fill even more offices
and take fuller possession of public af-
fairs.
Until these and other like agressions
and offenses resurrected the race issue,
there was good feeling, concord and
unity between the races. There is no
ill feeling now on the part of the white
men to the negro. They will do him
no harm. They have resolved to re-
bury the race issue which Senator Pritch-
ard and other carpet-baggers and scala
wags have revived for selfish purposes.
When the Radical leaders and their allies
are driven from official positions which
they disgrace, the negroes will accept
the result because it will be declared le-
gally and in due form of law. 1t will be
the will of the people. Primarily it is
not the negro who is responsible. He
is the tool of base white men who are
traitors to their race 1t is the Pritch-
ards, the Russells and their ilk who
are stirring up race prejudice for their
own selfish ends, and when discovered
and denounced are crying out stop
Thief to escape detection.
When Senator Pritchard wrote his in
famous letter, not even the Republican
negroes who shot the unoffending white
men in Robson county, had fired n
shot Pritchard knew then as he knows
now that there is no danger of an out
break in North Carolina unless his party
makes it with malice aforethought to Sc
pie.
The race issue is always dormant UNI
less white men rouse the negroes to
deeds of violence. Their will b no trouble
in North Carolina unless Pritchard and
Russell's party precipitate it for political
effect.

SOME VETERANS FOR NORTH
CAROLINA.
Columiba State.

Columbia State.
If our North Carolina friends feel the
need of a poetic stimulus to their eff
forts for the redemption of the Old
North State we beg leave to commend
to them the spirited verses hich arc
subjoined.
They were written thirty years ago, in
1868. and the editor of the State as a
little boy memorzed them then so
thoroughly that he recalls them in full
although he has not seen them in print
since they appeared that year in the
New York Day-Book. The writer was
a western farmer.
Prophetic these lines proved to be. At
the time they were composed Seymour
was competing with Grant for the presi-
dency The negro was not yet In practice
a voter. Reconstruction was not com
plete. Carpet-bag, scalawag and negro
rule was yet in the future The era of
good stealing" had not set in. Yet in
ten years from that time the destiny
of the South had been fuliulled and
the black shadow had passed from every
State. In ten years the whites ruled
the land" again, despite numbers, and
bayonets, and the war-hatred of the
North. And the world approved. Even
Northern Republcanism acquiesced.
The issue is revived in North Caro-
lima; and with the issue comes the
thought that burns in the verses.
The whites shall rule the land or die!
The purpose CLOVIS in hearts of steel;
With burning cheek and flashing eye
We wait what waiting may reveal.
But, come what may, the whites must
hold
What white mems patriot valor
bought;
Our grandsires' ashes, not yet cold,
Hallow the soil for which they fought
Shall low-born scum and quondam
slaves
Give laws to those who own the soil?
No! by our grandsires' Bloody graves;
No. by our homesteads bought with
toll.

Our law is written in the sky;
