NEGROES IN POLITICS.
Booker I. Washington Asks
Why They Oppose The
Whites.
They Must be Made to See That
Success Does Not Lie IN An
tagonizlng Southern
White Men.

A special from Tuskegee. Ala.
says: Booker I. Washington
president of the Iuskegee Nor>
NAL and Collegiate Institute,
and, perhaps, the most widely
known colored man in the
United States, answering the re-
quest of a prominent colored man
i'll North Carolina as TO what
should be done to allay the
present conflict between the
races" says:
81 have been asking myself
lately some rather serious guess
tions and | want to put one OF
two of them to you. Is there
any reason why the negroes in
the South should continue to
oppose the Southern white man
and his politics? Is this not the
source OF nearly all our troubles?
"Unconsciously we seem to
have gotten the idea into our
blood and bones that we are only
acting in a manly way when we
oppose Southern white men with
our votes.
In some way, by some Eeth>
Cd, we must bring the race to
the point where it will cease to
feel that the only way for it to
succeed is to oppose everything
suggested or put forth by the
Southern white men.
"This | consider one of our
real problems. l believe that
there aIc thousands Of white
Democrats IN North Carolina
who are SO per cent. better
friends to the negro than Cover
nor Russell. | see no necessity
in continuing to follow Govvrno:
Russell, who has no power TO
protect, or if he has the power
does not exercise it, rather than
these other white men who can
protect us If We cease continual,
ly and forever to oppose them"

News & ObserVer

If reports from Union Mine,
near Salisbury, are to be be
lieved, it is the richest deposit
of copper in the world.
An INN. ense veine of gold and
copper bearing ore luns through
the mine property for over halt
a mile. The ore at the surface
runs about 3 per cent, at about
600 feet 10 per cent, and still
deeper it reaches from IS to 40
per cent copper until at the
bottom the'e are large sheets OF
native copper.
The gold contents of the ore
averages from S. to S7.5o per
tor. Mining experts say there
are some ten or twelve
miles of copper, gold and silver
veins on the property, every
100, O. which ca1 be prohtably
worked. Interested parties estl-
mate the copper deposits alone
to be worth over SIS 900, 900.
This mine was worked in
1860 81, but has ever since la1p
Idle ard undeveloped.
Concerning this mine, Mr.. ].
J. New man, a mining engineer
largely interested in it, writes:
Il have begun work on the
Union Mine adjoining Gold Hill
in this county. aud the work is
now progressing satisfactorily.
This Union Mine is one of
the great mines OF the country
and is wonder in itself; but,
the greatest thing about it is the
immense vein of gold and COPS
per bearing ore that runs
through the mine property for
over half a mine. This vei,.
varies from 80 to 100 feet thick
Oh the surface and is a thorough
ly oxidized ore down 10 water
level, which is about s. feet
down. Then the pyrite. come In
and the ore becomes very re-
fractory to mill by common
amalgamation for the gold cons
tents. Above the water level the
ore is free milling for gold and
does not carry much copper, as
mos of that has been leached
out.
The copper vein is known as
the big Cut" copper vein. 1t
has an open cut on the vein
about 800 fee: long, IS feet deep
and 25 70 80 feet wide, with a
tunne, at the bottom that runs
through the vein out to the sur
face on the side Of the hill. At
the bottom of the open cut, there
is a working shaft I28 feet deep
On the copper vein. The re at
the surface rms about 3 per
cent. copper. at water level it is
5 per cent. copper, at about
600 feet the ore is about 10 per
cent, copper and deeper down
the ore gets richer, from IS to
40 per cent, copper, until at the
bottom of I2S foot shaft, there
are large sheets of native cop
per that runs ore up to a high
grade and very valuable ore.
"The gold contents of the ore
run from s. up to $3.50 per ton,
and this average obtains all
through the vein. At the bot
tom of the 128 foot shaft there
is a concentration of the vein to
about 80 feet thick of very high
grade copper and gold ore.
This ore was mined, cobbed
and shipped to Baltimore by

From Columbis, n. c infor-
nation reaches us that late last
Thursday afternoon Willis Blake
went to the home OF H. w. Tar,

attempted to rape his wife. His
conduct was most brutal, and
Mrs Tarke nton, who is yet in
her teens, is completely prostra>
ted.
Blake is Of giant statue, but
fortunately for Mrs. Tarkenton,
he was weak from the effects of
drinking, and she successfully
resisted him. Finding that he
was unable to force her, he at
tempted to hold her and make
her swallow enough whiskey to
make her suoservis 1T to his will
but Mrs. Tarkenton succeeded in
preventing this. When her hus
band returned at mig ghtfall, Blake
had gone, and his wife was
crazed with fear.
Indignation is very pronounc>
ed, and officers are hunting for
