THE MAN BEHIND THE NEGRO.

Without endorsing the exact Ian
guage used by Senator Tillman in
his speech at Greenwood, S. c., as
reported in yesterdays dispatches,
the Observer is free to say that he is
entirely right in his views of the
whitecap business. He very properly
calls the whitecappers white cow
ards" who bring disgrace upon the
community in which they operate,
and his advice to the people to put a
stop to it is worthy of consideration
and should call a. halt. The white
Gaping business is not only barren
of good results, but serves dis
tinctively bad end. in so far as it is
repeatedly arousing bad feeling in
the North and delaying the day of
perfect understanding and good feel
ing between the North and the
South, whose dawning is not so very
distant. The suppression of the
whitecaps would rob the element of
South haters of their main supply of
ammunition and would silence the
one particular battery that is heard
oftenest and loudest.
Senator Tillman went to the root
Of the race trouble when he laid the
whole blame of the riots in the Green
wood section, not upon the negroes,
but upon the TOlberts. He declared
that if the Tolberts, the leaders of
the Republican party in that section,
are still stirring up the negroes, they
ought to be dealt with. If YOU
want to uproot this evil and kill the
snake, he said, ''go kill the Tolberts,
but don't abuse the poor, innocent
black wretches." This is unquestion-
ably harsh language, but it is sound
advice. Anyone who will take the
trouble to investigate will find that
mean white men are behind every
race trouble that has occurred in the
South in recent vears-not mean
white Democrats, but mean white Re-
publicans and carpet-baggers of the
Tolbert stripe. who care not for the
flow of negro blood SO long as they
can use it as capital to further their
own selfish ends. White men of this
character were behind the troubles in
Wilmington last fall, and so well
was this understood that the ven
geance Of the outraged people of that
city was directed not SO much against
the turbulent negroes, as against the
white leaders who worked them up
to the point of anarchy. then fled to
save their own skins and left their
deluded victims to suffer the conse-
quences. Senator Tillman is right
in his estimate of the situation. But
for the instigation of mean white
men-Republicans and carpet bag
gerS-negro trouble in the South
| would be few and far between and
there can be no question about the
proper proceeding. which is to deal
with the white men who stir up the
strife. and spare the innocent. de-

Long Live the Country Editor.

A writer in the Chicago Times
Herald says among other things about
the country paper:
The city man who does not takes
his home paper, provided he was
raised in the country, does not know
what real enjoyment he misses. The
news l get out of one issue is worth
more than the yearly subscription.
l devour every line of local gossip
and neighborhood correspondence,
and when I lay the paper aside l
praise the country editor for giving
me this privilege.
''IO the man who cannot visit his
old home every year or two the week
ly perusal of his home paper is almost
as good as trip to DO yhood scenes.
He reads where the little freckled
faced girl who sat behind him at
school was married to city chap,
who holds Lucrative position with
a street Car company
Letters from home are very well
come, but one doesn't get as much
news in a hundred letters as he does
in one issue of the home paper.
elf you are sick the country editor
writes nice paragraph about your
illness and he trusts that you will
soon be able to appear upon our
streets again. if your wife dies he
tells of her many good traits of char
acter and that she bore her last ILL
ness with Christian fortitude,' if
your son gets married the country
editor tells what promising young
man he is and what an 'estimable
and charming young lady is the
bride.
"All this and more he docs-re-
joicing with you in prosperity and
sorrowing with you in adversely
always taking friendly interest in
his people and displaying a pride
and public spirit which is foreign to
the big city papers. And yet when
any one has to wait for his money or
60 without entirely it is that same
country editor-not the publisher of
the foreign paper whose only inter-
est in you extends as far as your dol
lar goes"

A VOTE OF THANKS
From the Presbyterian MaBse, Hen.
defSOn NJ c.

After my return from Oxford last
Monday | was informed of the death
of our COW, a fine mixer.
OF course, my little home felt very
keenly the loss sustained, not only
because of the value of said COW, but
also the fact that she furnished rich
milk for our baby boy at critical
period of his history. A few hours
after reaching home a warm-hearted
friend called at the manse and pre-
sented the following note:
Your many friends sympathize with
you in your loss of one OF home supreme
essentials, a valuable milk COW; there.
fore, we have given some of them an OBJ
portunity to share your loss.
YOUR FRIENDS
By request we refrain from giving
the names of the four esteemed
friends subscribed to the note. Ac.
companving said note was a purse
with which to buy another COW.
We were deeply touched at this
generous expression of kindly inter
est and sympathy. 1t is highly graft
fving to know that friends in town
irrespective of denominational affilia
ton have contributed to this purse
AS the names of these kind friends
have not been furnished us, we glad
ly embrace the opportunity of ex'
pressing to them through the COLL
LEAF our grateful appreciation Of
their generous gift. The warm
liberality of the good people of Hen
derson demonstrates the fact thai
noble, sympathetic impulses have
not yet been extinguished.
We invoke Gods richest blessing or
the friends who have SO kindly re
membered us. A. r. SHAW.

ABOUTLOCAL SUPPORT.
II Must be Positive to be Thoroughly
Good and Effective.

The GOLD LEAF has always been a
staunch advocate of the principle OF
local support - patfonizlng home
merchants and home people and en-
terprises Of all kinds. And it has
done this to its own disadvantages
BY catering more to outside patron
age and influencing our readers to
spend at least portion OF their
money with such advertisers the
paper might profit beyond what it
does.
But what we started out to do was
to call attention to an editorial article
in the New Bern Journal on local
support. 1t is as applicable to Hen
derson as it is to New Bern and we
Give our readers the benefit OF its sug-
gestions, in the hope that it may
stimulate our people to carry out the
policy it outlines. The article, which
is worthy of serious reflection, is as
follows:
..Supporting local merchants and
local enterprises and Institutions,
should be of the positive kind to be
thoroughly good and effective.
40 say local merchants are all
right, and then send away for ar
ticles which they can sell you at
prices favorable in comparison to
those YOU must pay elsewhere; to say
that local industries should be es-
tablished and then refuse to assist in
getting them established, that is
support of local institutions of a
negative and in furious character.
Local support of town. its
Industries to be established, must
be positive to be of any value.
Most mercantile houses are small
in the beginning of their lives as
business institutions, most merchants
who have become rich, and establish
ed great trades, have become so
through a course of mercantile evO-
luton.
They have been well supported
at first by friends and neighbors,
and through this patronage have
spread and increased their business.
ut is the local, faithful support,
the home confidence and friendship,
which sets into active motion the
local merchant and makes him, by
his individual effort and industry, at
last the merchant prince, with his
thousands and thousands of dollars.
$50 in local industries, give them
a full local support, not all in con-
versation although good words help,
but give every local enterprise all
the material aid possible, and their
ultimate success is not problemati-
cal.
"Sincere, hearty and courageous
should be the support of citizens to
their home institutions.
NO hesitating or qualifying aid
helps, it must be positive, and when
a community in its entirety gives
this positive support to it's home
people and institutions, that COM
munity finds that this commercial
getting together brings success and
prosperity to all its citizens.'

MR., PITTMAN ENDORSED
For Professor of Law at the Universit.

In the Ne,cs and Observer OF Friday
we find the following article endors-
inc Mr.. Thomas NJ. Pittman, OF Hen
dcrson, for Professor Of Law at the
University. The writers Messrs-
Harris and Brid9ers are both proml-
nent members Of the Henderson Bar
and know the character and Iualilica-
tons Of the subject OF their endorse
mcnt Mr. Pittman is all that is said
ton in question is as follows:
To THE EDITOR:-imOng the many
good men spoken of for the position OF
Associate Professor of Law at the | NJ
vpr-ity of North Carolina, we have seen
the name Of no one more elnlnentiy
fitted to fill the position than Thomas
NJ Pittman, Esq, OF Henderson, All
who know him will admit that his acute
intellect and logical mind would find IL
cOngcnial atmosphere i'll IL law school
and he would give the student an in
sight into the labyrinths OF the law that
few men could He is clean man. an
honest lawyer, n good fighter, a hlstor-
ian of growing reputation, n writer Oh
acknowledged abIlity-in fact, Just such
IL man as young men need to be In touch
with rs they are forming themselves for
the practice OF the profession. We are
satisfied that the trustees would make
no mistake in selecting him.
ANDREW j. HARRIS,
j. H. BKIDGERS.
That Mr.. Pittman possesses quail
ties which peculiarly fit him for the
position suggested associate Profess
sor of Law the Dean having already
been chosen) those who are intimate
" acquainted with him do not doubt.
He is scholarly, thoughtful man
and close student. TO naturally
fertile and well balanced judicial
mind strength and symmetry have
been added by careful training and
large experience with books and
practice. Fond Of the law and possess
ing the true teacher art, that Of being
able to impart his knowledge to
others, Mr. Pittman is in every way
qualified for the position and is
worthy of the rreferment. And the
influence Of such a personality upon
the young men thus brought into
contact with him would prove IA benc-
diction that would abide with him
through life.
In the election of Mr. Pittman nc
mistake would be make.
TIE GOLD LEAF is quite satisfied
with results no matter who gets
credit for their accomplishment.
And no sooner does it see one enter
prise carried through than it wants
to move for another. Now lets
start the campaign for a knitting
mill. What say our moneyed men:
The necessary capital is available right
here at home and if outside aid i:
desirable it can be readily secured
Such an enterprise would be paying

sides being made valuable adjunct
