Raleigh, n. c.. June GA special yes
terday from Grecnville, where much
trouble has ensued because the negroes
have largely dominated in politics.
saysi
To-day Greenville held it's first mu-
niclpal election under its new charter
enacted by the last Legislature. For
the first time in many years the town
has an entire white board OF aldermen.
Under the former regime the town was
so districted that the negroes had two
thirds control and ruled the town. This
is all changed now.
Under the new charter the negroes
have majority OF votes in two wards
and could elect two aldermen, but to-
day they helped make the town entire
ly white by voting for white men in
their wards.
