not be an easy thing to do, however
Even if We put in strong anti trust

fact that the campaign will be in.the

gent negro living, if only followed
would end the race troubles in the
South aud show to the co]ored people
where sheir real friends are.
The continual clashiug between the
whites aud blacks has had uo other
cause than that to be discerued 10 the
attempts Of the latter to gain the whip
hand in administrative affairs, which
they keow themselves Incompetent to
WELD. Their wrongs are for the most
part imaginary and, as Mr.. Washing
ton says. lefty per cent. of the white
Democrats 10 North Carolina are
better friends of the negro than is
Governor RUSSELL or any of bis
political consorts.
The southern white man and the
southern black man have been associat
ed With each other ever since there was
South. The fortunes of the former
have always been shared with the
latter and it better opportunities have
not been given the blacks to progress
it has been wholly because the whites
have been so impoverished, themselves,
that they have had nothing to hold
cut.
There would not be :he slightest
trouble between the people Of that
section if they we're not incised by
asi;ators from the North and iuaamed
by partisan organs tba, hope to make
political capital thereby. Booker t
Washington touched the key note of
the situation when be said
lis there sDy reason Rhy the
negroes in the South should continue to
oppose the southern white man and bis
politics :? Is this nc. tho source CT
nearly all our troubles =? Unconscious
ly We seem to have gotten the idea
ioso our blood ard bones that We are
only acting 10 manly way wheo We
oppose southern white men With oar

"Io some way, by some method, We
uus. bring the race to that point where
it will cease to feel that the only way
for i, tc succeed is to oppose velythlog
suggested or Put forth by the southern
white meo. This consider one of
our real problems

Of white Democrats in North Carolina
who are fifty per cent. better friends to
the negro than Governor Russell, aud

low Governor Russell, who has 10
power to protect, or if he has the
