WILSON NOTES
The Season Opened-Politics
All Right I'm Wilson County.

Correspondence Of The Messenger.)
Wilson, n. c.. August 1.
The tobacco season opened here this
morning with good sales at all the
warehouses The grades offered for
sale were the first curings, but were,
as a rule, above the average.
The prospects for a good crop in this
section are very good. While the dry
weather has injured the crop in many
sections of Wilson county. yet il is be-
Iieved by experienced tobacco people
that the sales will o fall of much
from that of asst eaSon The tobacco
offered for sale will be smaller han
last seasons crop. but the growers hope
TO make up in quality What they lose
in weight.
Election day will be observed as
BELTS the occasion. All the business
houses will close and every democratic
will put in a good day for the amend
ment, and the cause Of white suprem-
acy.
Local politicians have no fear for the
county, yet they Will Try TO make the
victory as large as possible, 50 as to
help fill out a deficiency in some other
sections of the state. No trouble is
feared from the negroes: they have
been given the law in a few words and
have accepted the conditions with very
good grace.

THE TASK

The Messenger has today completed
the task it undertook to discuss the
vastly important amendment question
in ifty-one consecutive issues of this
paper. 1t has presented 20 the readers
from one 10 three or four editorials
daily bearing upon the one greatest
of questions to the North C~arolinian.
The amendment in it's many bearings
and connections has been presented.
The aim has been to aid as far as pos
sible in carrying the amendment to- a
successful issue. 1t has lone what it
could in tina direction. In addition,
there have been probably two or more
hundreds of paragraphs looking TO the
same end. 1t may be said that the
writer of them had never before at
tempted to discuss any subject in 81
consecutive numbers of a newspaper,
although he had been on the editorial
tripod" for t~hirty-siX ears and be
gan the work nearly forty-two years
ago, and had edited North Carolina
newspapers in eight presidential cam
paigns in succession, with all the in
t~ervening state campaigns.

for the great defeat awaiting the fusion
gang. He admits the democrats will

would have done 81 more easily il
Pritchard had been pack in Brown

North Carolina with his presence. But
Ter had something to do with the de-
feat. He had much to do in the strife
for he set it in motion by calling IN
the negroes, white republicans and
populists to unite and drive out OF
North Carolina every white democrat.
What a very lively time this %turncoat
was trying to bring on But the SIM
pie unadulterated truth is, that the
cause Of the overwhelming defeat are
many and ramifies North Carolina po-
litical history for more than thirty
years. The causes are cumulative, of
wide range, and impious. They simply
compelled the whites TO get together
to save the civilization. the laws, the
character, the great and manifold in
