PULL TOGETHER.

Everybody admits that we had
splendid Fair here last year
Every body expects US to do as
we'll or better this year.
The secret of the success that at
tended last years effort was the
earnest CO operation given by all
our people to the faithful manage
ment.
If we are to have like results this
year and meet public expectation
and do credit to ourselves there must
be like cause this year-a harmoni-
Gus pulling together by all classes.
1t is called Tobacco Fair and is
devoted largely to tobacco, but it's
benefits are shared by all avenues of
trade and by our citizens generally
and, therefore, all should take a
lively interest in it's success and put
their shoulders to the wheel and help
to make this years Fair a r~agnifi-
out very great tax upon any one.
! The officers will do their part, but
i they cannot do it all and should not
| if they can. 1t is often the case that
| a few men have to bear all the burd-
| ems of an enterprise, but this is an
| occasion when such should not be
expected and where it is altogether
impracticable. Let the management
direct as wisely as they may and
work as hard as they can, the sue
cess of the Fair, after all, depends
upon the citizens of our community
and the interest they manifest in it
The war has absorbed public at
tention for the past few months and
it may be that many of our people
do not realize that the time for the
Fair is only little over two months
off and that it is time to begin tC
hustle.
Oar manufacturers and merchant.
should secure space at Browns ware
house for their exhibits at once ant
begin to plan for their displays. Thu
industrial exhibit last year wal
splendid and attracted great atten-
ton. 1t should be bigger and NOR
elaborate and more attractive thi
year.
We have said this much as a re
minder and we hope it will not b
long before a general awakening O
interest in this years Tobacco Fai
will be manifest.
Let us get a move on US. We cal
eclipse the magnificent record OF las
| year if we WILL But to do so Their
must be earnest and enthusiast

THE SUPREME ISSUE.

In his last speech, delivered the |
day before his sudden death, the |
lamented Judge E. t. Boykin very |
clearly set forth the overshadowing
issue in the present campaign in
North Carolina. He said the pend
ing contest is for the supremacy of
virtue and intelligence. The Judge
was right and it is for these things
and the blessings that will flow from
them that the white men of North
Carolina are solidifying their ranks
for one of the most important COLI
tests ever waged.
The Judge states truly, also, that
it is not the Democracy that has
drawn the color line, and in support
of this declaration he said:
''In 1896 so unified was the negro
vote that the entire number of negro
electors might have voted by proxy
in the hands of one of their race.
This could not be attributed to any
injustice perpetrated against them
by the whites. The whites pay
almost seven-eighths of the taxes.
| They educated the negro as they
educated their own children; they
built and supported asylums for
their insane and their deaf, dumb
and blind; they secured them Justice
in the courts; they selected them as
jurors; they assured them personal
liberty. They have been deceived by
the enemies of law and order, the
white Republican office hunters, and
theu passions and prejudices have
been excited against their best friends
And still, not one OF them has been
permitted, in all these years, to be-
come candidate on State Repub-
lican ticket for State office, because
the white Republicans of the West
could not be placated. They are re
warded by local Offices in Eastern
counties and cities and towns, anC
the interests that most intimately
concern the intellie ence and moralit,
and property of the taxpayers ar
committed to their reckless and un
J scrupulous hands"
: Referring to the Populists, Judg
Boykin said:
, "There can be no reason why tn
POpuilstS should not unite with tn
Democrats in a contest involving tn
honor, the property, the supremac.
of the white man. They cannot con
J sistently cooperate with the Repub
Leans. Their policy in regard t.
money, to monopolies, to the tariff
to the judiciary, is totally different
They have been and are now honore
citizens; they are property holders
: they are white men.

organized to elect negroes to office il

We hope that the committee of the
Tobacco Fair and the management
of the County Fair may be able to
provide way by which the two
Fairs may be held at the same time,

advisabflity of the suggestion. The
question of room is the only serious
drawback and we hope this will be
overcome. The benefits will be great
and will be mutual. Town people

m SENTINEL SUBSCRIBERS.

Mr.. L. L. Thomas, is now on the
$Nar nath for THE SENTINEL, prepared
to exchange receipts for cash Tor past
due and new subscriptions and we
hesneak for him a rushing business.
The subscription price of THE sENTI-
MEL is very low and the paper trust
is making US pay more for paper, the
fact is we must get our subscription
list closer to cash basis. The farmer
cannot afford to sell his products on
long credit. The paper is our product
and we cannot afford to sell it on long
time. So we urge prompt settlement
of amounts now due.

FITzBUGH LEE is d candidate for
the United States Senate from
Virginia. We think he has made a
mistake in becoming such. We adj
mire many of his traits. He deserves
great credit for his conduct as Consul
at Havana just before the war. He
deserves credit, also, for rendering
his services to bis country when the
war broke out. He is entitled to
any thing he may desire in the new
government of Cuba, and there is
great unanimity upon this point
throughout the country, but we do
not think he ought to be sent to the
Senate as the representative OF
Virginia Democracy. We take it
that Senator should be in harmony
with the declarations of the FREEDOM
inant party in the State from which
he halls. Gen. Lee is out of john
with Virginia Democracy upon th,
currency question.

COUNTY GOVERNMENT.

According to recent decision of
the Supreme Court, it is constitu-
tional for the Legislature to provide
different systems OF county govern
ment for different counties. That is,
in some counties the magistrates
and commissioners may be appoint
ed and in other counties these officers
may be elected, as the best inter-
ests of the people may require.
Referring to this subject, the
Chatham Record recalls the following
bit of history:
''In consequence of the ruinous
rule of the negroes in those counties
controlled by them, the white men of
North Carolina in 1876 voted to
adopt an amendment to our State
constitution which took away from
the people of every county the right
to elect their county commissioners
and magistrates. The white men
all over the State voted to give up
the right to elect their county COM
missioners, in order to help and save
from negro rule their brethren in
some of the eastern counties. And
in every subsequent campaign the
Democrats were charged with thus
having destroyed local self-govern-
ment,' end, as the remembrance of
the ruinous rule OF the negroes began
gradually to fade away, the people
became restless and dissatisfied
until finally the old Republican sys-
tenn was re established by the Legis'
lature of 1895"
Under the decision referred to, it
appears that the county government
problem may be solved to the salts
faction of the good people in each
and every county. For instance, in
such counties as have a majority of
negro voters the commissioners and
magistrates may be appointed, while
in those counties where the whites
predominant these officers may be
elected, thus insuring good govern
ment in all sections of the State.
In order to secure this, however, it
will be necessary to elect a Demo
cratic Legislature. A Republican
Legislature will take no step to re-
lieve the Eastern counties of incom-
petent and humiliating control.

The Republican managers hope,
by an Infamous election law and by
making the Populists objects of
barter, to fasten the present corrupt
and incompetent and disgraceful
condition of affairs upon North
Carolina. The people should arise
In their might and rebuke these de-
spoilers of the State.

Waking Up.

Charlotte News.
Ii is estimated that $4,000 Demo-
Gratis did not vote in the State cleo
tions In 1894 and 1896. These
Democrats are waking up this year
and are taking lively interest in
politics. The evils that have come
upon our State under Republican
rule have aroused them and the
probabilities are that the largest
Democratic vote ever polled in the
State will be cast this year. The
Democrats are not only taking an
interest in the election, but they are
interested in the primaries and have
attended them In larger numbers
than ever before.

THE Wilmington Messenger in
dulges in these pertinent remarks:
ssThe whites must govern in North
Carolina, that is the long and short
of it. Soon or late it will come in
some way. 1t is impossible that it
should be otherwise. On all this
globe, except in this misgoverned,
accursed state of North Carolina,
there is no country or dominion or
state of white men of the Aryan
stock being ridden over rough shod,
by the descendants of the black men
of African wilds. We are alone In
this ignominy among all the nations.
! The man who votes for the radical
candidates In 1898 is voting to keep
the negroes in power and make them
masters in North Carolina. The
white man who does that simply
degrades himself. Only that and
nothing less.
