With this county and Saunders az one

HOW r FOLKS

The Ninth district is to go heavily
for negro rule according to a young
man named Rollins. 1t will be very
unwise for democrats to count upon
negro apathy" Dan Russell said
years ago that his party-the negro
party-'could whoop up their gang in
forty-eight hours" if we recall cor
rectly. Some intelligent men Of color
will vote possibly for the amendment,
but we are not relying upon much ne
gro aid either by apathy or change
of heart. The thing to be done is for
genuine white men with white
hearts to get together, lock shields,
and keep step to the music of victory
for amendment, and redemption of
North Carolina from the baleful, Bills
tering domination of bad white men
and allies of the negroes.
