WHITE MEN OF RUTHERFORD WIDE AWAKE
They Are Ready For August Second. The De-
bate, Graced by Ladies, VIII Win
Votes For the Amen!!-
ment.
Especial to News and Observer

Caroleen, N. c., July GA warming
crowd of 500 to 600 people attended the
discussion between Hon. Ed. Justice and
r. nj. Pearson, at Caroleen, Tuesday
night. That it was voting crowd was
evidenced by the number of the white
ladies' who gave the encouragement of
their presence to the cause of White SUI
premacy so near to their hearts, the rule
of white men, and the protection of their
white women, the white children of the
State, against the worse than assassin
assaults of white advocates of negro
domination in our homes.
Richmond Pearson the receiver of
stolen goods-the beneficiary of George
Whites vote in Congress-which disfran-
chised all the Democrats of the Ninth
Congressional district and gave him the
seat in Congress, which white men had
given to Hon. w. T. Crawford opened the
debate and in adroit manner lodged all
the issues and entertained the audience
by weak attempts to pull the WOOL over
the eyes of his hearers, reciting the oft
told falsehoods of danger to the poor
white man" should they vote for the
scored victory, in almost believing that
he was honestly conscientious in telling
the truth, while his audience knew he
was telling the most unreasonable false
hoods. His whole speech was an evasion
of the true issues before the people, and
convincing proof that he was a most I'M
reliable fraud in politics, without prnci-
pie, party or following. In the close of
his speech he was literally applauded by
the hired crew of revenue doodlers, post
masters and other pap suckers of the Ad-
ministration, who had been summoned to
be present to make a show for the party,
and each one of them from postmaster to
doodler had to do double duty in yelling
and shouting for his color.
Person proved his claim of being a po-
lftical fraud of the first water, and he
laughed in his sleeve at so many dupes
being numbered in the train of the Duke
of Richmond Hill. Their efforts were
vain--the Democracy and the white peo-
pie OF Caroleen repudiate him and his
people, they hate his methods, they scorn
detest and condemn his hypocricy, and
though they awarded him most patient
and courteous hearing, they are fixed in
their determination to rule their own
households under the rule of the people
OF their own race.
Hon. Ed. Justice was then introduced
He minced not his words when he said
he was proud of Caroleen, that they had
emphasized the courtesy which was due
to their political enemies and under the
most provoking trials of their patience
had heard all that could possibly be said
under any circumstances by the advocate
of negro domination.
An outburst of applause from the
hearts OF honest white men and noble
women greeted Mr.. Justice as he took
the stand. He first paid his devoirs
to the people of Caroleen who had come
out to hear the issues of the hour dis
cussed. He next paid his respects to the
Hon. the Duke of Richmond Richmond
Pearson, and what he did for him was a
plenty. He replied to all that Pearson
charged in five minutes and for an hour
and thirty minutes tore the veil from
the radical, hypocritical negro loving
Congressman. He recognized Pearson S
ability his influence for evil and paid
him all the compliments due to an advo-
cate of an Illegal inconsistent, and I'M
reliable person, who pretends to repre-
sent his fellow citizens. His arraign-
ment of Pearson was terrible and struck
home to the hearts of the people, the
honesty and duty of the people in the
present contest for cons q dtinal govern
ment.
Mr. Pearson exhibited poor white in
losing his right to vote, and the people
asked him to withdraw the sheet which
covered the poor white man and when
Justice tore it away a kinkey- headed
negro appeared, for whom Pearson was
shedding tears as large as horse apple.
Such a castigation as Mr.. Pearson receiv
ed was an eye-opener to him, showing
that the white men of Rutherford county
have common sense and are not to be de-
ceived by politicians even of Pearson's
calibre. Mr.. Pearson is an able debater
and that Mr.. Justice scored most COM
plete victory over him is due to the truth
that Pearson is engaged in most unholy
war upon the people of his own race;
that he is INSCRIPTIONS and unreliable
as representative of the people and
that "Ichabod' is written on him and
all of his clan in liberty-loving North
Carolina.
Justice stands about six feet in his
shoes, but in this debate lowered like
mental giant and scored great vic
tory.
