Pender Democrats Organizing.
Especial to News and observer)

Burgaw, n. c., June 15.-The organiza-
ton of White Government Unions began
in Pender county last night. The white
men of the town and adjoining country
assembled in the court house last night;
the meeting was called to order by Mr..
w M. Hand Mr.. r. G. Grady, who has
been appointed organizer for this county,
addressed the meeting in a very pointed
speech. Mr. Grady endeavored to explain
in detail that part of the amendment
which provides for the ignorant white
man against the negro. In response to
the call for names nearly every man in
the room gave his name, and the roll
reached fifty-one last night good many
who could not be here expressed de-
sire through their friends to join the
White Mans side.
The election of officers being the first
business before the Union, DR.. l.. l..
Audrey. Mr.. II. l. Bowen and Mr.. ID. M.
Struggled were unanimously chosen pres
ident, vice-president and secretary, re-
spectively. Committees were suggested
and appointed to attend to registration
and membership.
In view of the fact that this is the
busiest season of the year in this sec
ton, it is surprising to see the interest
and enthusiasm manifested in the cam
paign now on. The white people in this
and adjoining counties have realized that
high noon has been reached in Eastern
Carolina politics, and they have de-
termined to froWn down every future
possibility of negro rule.

AN EXAMPLE OF PATRIOTISM.

''You will never get Legislature
back in Raleigh without pay said a
politician in March, 1899, when the
present Legislature adjourned to meet
in June, 1900. Many agreed with him.
The fact that every Senator, except
one who was sick, and one other, was
in his seat, and nearly all the mem
bers of the House were present shows
that the politician quoted had too lit
tie faith in the patriotism of the
States representatives. They more
than measured up to their duty and
won the gratitude of the State. IN
some instances we happen to know
that the expense incident to the trip
was heavy burden, but it was borne
cheerfully and uncomplainingly If ii
shall be necessary for these men to
return in July, they will do so agaid,
no matter how great the sacrifice in
volved.
Does the Black-and-Ta army sup
pose it can defeat party of which
these men are the type and OF which
they are the true representatives.?
There is no power that can withstand
the united determination Of the great
bulk of the white men of North Caro-
lima. There has not been time,
certainly since 1899. when the whites
were so united in North Carolina as
today. They are all as ready to make
sacrifice to make better conditions
as their representatives were, and be
cause they are united in Il righteous
cause they cannot DC defeated. They
can meter be defeated except through
divisions or by their o'"n mistakes.

A Bold Robbery.
washington Messenger.)

One of the boldest robberes in the his
tory of Washington occurred on last Mon
day night, when some thief or thieves
entered the bar-room of Mr.. w Fl. Albert,
corner of Main street and Union alley,
forced an entrance into his safe and took
about 500 in five and ten cent pieces,
probably more; another drawer contain
ing between $3.50 and $500, and one other
drawer was bursted open and carried
away; this drawer was full of silver,
containing silver from % cents to $10O,
besides a considerable sum of paper
money. The whole amount will aggre-
gate not less than 500. A gold watch
was also taken. The robbery took place
between / and o'clock in the morning.

abasement by his ''nigger-trading"
Senator!

The lesson Of Johnson's speech and
Smiths reply, humiliating as it was,
ought to teach the Sampson mem
bers and all other Populists a les
son. There is no half way ground
from politics, as the Democrats pro-
pose by the amendment, or the equal
voice in direction and offce-holding
as practiced under Fusion rule. Many
Populists did not foresee that in the
South there must be white rule by
a white party or Black-and-Tan gov
eminent. They learned it By bitter
experience in 1894 and 1896 Others,
who would not hear and heed them,
the white man must vote for white
rule by white men or Black-and- Tan
rule by white and black men working
together. There is no middle ground.
In August the division will be sharply
drawn and so distinct that no man
can doubt the true issue. ''He that
is not for us is against u.s. The spec
tacle of a negro pointing out the in
gratitude and insincerity of a white
man is not pleasing one. 1t is one
we would like blotted out, and condi-
lions so changed as to- make its re
currence impossible. There is one
way to accomplish this, and that is for
all white men to vote for the amend
ment. Mr.. johnson ought to admit
his mistake and repudiate the gang
of tricksters that are in control of
the Populist party, and all other Pop.
ulists except those who think that
"a white man is as good as negro
if he behaves himself to quote Judge
Robinson, ought to make haste to cut
loose from the leaders who used them
to negroize the State and draw big
salaries and who are trying to sell
their votes to keep in office.

SHOWS HIS UNFITNESS.
Statesville Mascot.

StateSville Mascot.
That was an entirely uncalled for at
tack which ex-Judge Spencer B. Adams,
the Republican candidate for Cover
nor, made upon Editor Ogden f. Crow
son at Burlington last week. Mr.. Crow
son is well known in Statesville. where
he has lived much of his life He has
been a cripple all his life, but his mis-
fortune has not daunted his brave spirit
and his life has been spent in honest work
for his own living. That Judge Adams
could wantonly insult such an unfortunate
young man proves that he is totally unfit
to be made Governor of North Carolina.
But such might be expected from the
white man who would call out at an cleo
ton: "All you white people come UP
and see me vote for negroes"

"DE-BUTTONIzING PROVED"

The Asheville Gazette has been
publishing statements and interviews
from employees at Maiden mills trying
to disprove the Newton Enterprises
statement that Bosses went through
the cotton mills at Maiden and took
the white Supremacy badges off
the men, boys and girls, and warned
them not to enter the mills again
wearing White Supremacy" badges.
In an interview with Mr.. Carpenter
that gentleman admitted the truth of
the Enterprises statement, but the
Gazette publishes testimony of en-
ployes who, while carefully avoiding
the button incident, declare that the
newspaper charges were absolutely
false Mr.. Carpenter offered to pay
the way of the editor of the Enter
prise if he would visit the mills and
make an investigation. Mr.. Williams
declined his offer, but few days la
ter visited the mills, talked with NJ.
and others, and obtained abundant
evidence in proof of his original state
ment. He gives Il two column ac-
count of his trip and the evidence pro-
cured. By their own testimony the
bosses said that they ordered the
boys and girls not to wear the badges

charged. In his account of his trip
and investigation, Mr.. Williams closes
by saying:
''From the point in the street in
front of Mrs. Hamilton's, we drove by
the Providence mill, and at the top of
the hill on this side. found Mr.. john
Burns sitting in front of his stable.
We stopped and asked if his son Ed
was at home. He said he was about
half mile off. We asked if his son
had ever said anything about the or
dering Of White Supremacy badges
off because Republicans were not
wearing badges.
HE said he had never before heard
that statement. That his son told him
the first time he ever heard anything
about not wearing badges was, that
Jack Cline, the boss in his room. came
up to him and said: Take that Cd
DIN badge off, He did not do it at once
and Cline said if he did not take it off
he would kick him out of the mill.
He then took it off. Several days af-
forwards his son had a fight with a
Hines boy. The Hines boy called him
by the name of a well known negro
of the community and he called the
Hines boy the name of the negroes
son. and they fought. Both boys
were turned off. The Hines boy. who
is a Republican. was taken back the
next day, but his son is still out of a
job.
"Mr. Burns also said that he ap-
preached Cline about threatening to
kick his boy. and Cline said he did
not care anything about the buttons,
but had to do what he had done in
order to hold his job
This incident shows that the Ca
tawba Republican mill man is try
ing to initiate those Northern man
ufacturers who think when they pay
a man for his skill and labor they
have bought his politics and his
convictions. Such white slavery
