THE COUNTRY EDITOR.

Presently we will hear of the re-
wards and honOrs that are to 90 to
the man whose services to the party
won the magnificent victory. The
workers ought to have the honors for
we believe that ":le horse that pulls
the pillow ought to have the fodder"
But-when that time comes, we
venture to say that the foremost
workers in this fight were the country
editors. They not only worked as
hard and as effectively as any, but
they spent more money for the party
than any other class Of men in the
State in proportion to their ability.
II the Democratic organizations in
North Carolina paid the party papers
for the publication of all appoint
ments and all other notices. the coun-
try editors would all have bank ac-
counts now. The North Carolina
editors ( city and country never
think of receiving pay for such pub
LEGATIONS, but gladly surrender their
columns to the advancement of the
party to which they belong.
All honor to the faithful workers,
who do their work in their humble
Sanctums. and who do not receive the
applause and public recognition of
their unselfish labors.-Ne,Cs and o.

IMPRESSIONS OF A COLORED MAN.

5. n. Vass, prominent and in
fluential colored man, late Of Raleigh,
but now Of Birmingham, Alabama,
who has been in New Orleans where
he had an opportunity to study the
recent race disturbances there, writes
an article to the Raleigh Post under
the head Of My Impressions OF the
New Orleans Riot" in which among
other things he SAYS this:
"Finally, l wish to emphasize the
fact that the colored people have no
reason whatever to charge the New
Orleans riot to the American white
people, such as we have in North
Carolina, for it is unjust. The real
white people of that city protected us
in every case.
when a mob there tried to take a
colored man from street car, the
two white passengers aboard, high
class white men, drove the mob from
the car, and, sending the car on with
its charge. jumped to the ground and
gave battle to the entire gang. VI
course, they were fearfully beaten.
Cases like this were very numerous.
In fact, suppose there were as many
whites injured as colored, and all be-
cause of their protection OF us. In
many cases prominent white mer.
chants offered to guard negroes
homes and take them to their own
residences.
II am glad | was there, because in
lecturing my people | can talk, not
from theory, but facts.

law and assist officers Of the law in
their duties"

representatives of the people gathered
around the memorial to-day will be
spoken words which tittingly portray
the greatness of the man. his virtues
and his love for and devotion to his
people. We simply wish to quote to-
day, as peculiarly appropriate and
important beyond the occasion of the
ceremonies of the unwilling. a few
words which emphasize that trait in
Governor Vance which commanded
for him the confidence and love of his
fellow citizens, and inspire their
venerstion now.
Mr. Jerome Dowd, in his valuable
Sketches of Prominent Living North
Carolinians." QsSS) in an admirable
sketch Of Governor Vance, SAYS:
The dominant trait in the character
OF Senator Vance is his sincerity without
which there can be no craftsmanship.
Most politicians think of nothing but the
shortest cuts To Office: they dare not
breathe all opinion which is not approved
by the majority; they are ready to ride
the absurdest plank if the majority will
but uphold it. How few study the good
of mankind, follow principles and not
politics, and would rather he Right than
be President. Insincere men may triumph
for awhile. but they must finally sink into
contempt. No life can he a success if il is
not sincere"
How appropriate TO this. our dav,
to the politics" as engineered by
some who profess from the housetops
reverence for the great subject and
the real leader of whom the above
was so truthfully written. 1t is to
be hoped all such as would pollute the
sanctuary Of Democracy in which
Vance worshipped will draw inspira-
ton from to-day's ceremonies, and
learn to follow in his footsteps of sim
certify and honor. Pest.

THE LATE G. p. HUNTINGTON.

Referring to the death OF Z. L.
Huntington, which occurred quite
suddenly last week, the Washington
Post says:
TO Coils p. Huntington genius
and daring the country owes much.
He used his millions to good pur-
poses. Substantial results followed
his undertakings His wealth was
constantly being utilized for the bet
terment of his country and the up
lifting of his fellow men. Thousands
upon thousands protited by his enter
prise and his industry; cities without
number that owe to him their exist
ence and growth will forever keep his
memory green. He was man OF
great achievements.
Commenting on the above the Win
ston Journal says this:
Coils p. Huntington was great
man. nor did the fact that he had ac-
cumulated $57 900, 900 detract in any
measure from his greatness. A man
can make money in this world and
SILL NC u SitaI l''pii' 'SNi''''N''i

body, the great philanthropist. who
has done so much toward aiding
Southern children to acquire an edu-
| cation.
The example Of Il great mind, libcr-
allv endowed with charitable love
| for his fellow man is an incstimable
blessing to any community in which
such man might live.
These great deeds are blessings
while they live, and these examples
become perpetual heritage and bene-
diction; it is just to the reverse with
| one of these soured and envenomed
dispositions that stamp their tartaric
impress upon everything they come
in contact. What do they do, what
have they done but breed discomfort
and thwart every laudable object in
the radius of their reach9 We love to
see man make money but we hate to
see him selfishly abuse its power.

IT'S pleasing to see the State papers
these days charging a good deal upon
the educational value of the amend
ment. This is an earnest that the recent
campaign pledges of the Democratic
party upon this head are not to be
forgotten. Those who know Governor
elect Aycock know that he will not
abate an iota Of the zeal upon this
subject that he manifested in the
campaign. but that he will live up to
all the promises that he made the peo-
pie. We do not doubt that in this
matter he will have the support of the
Legislature that was elected with
him. We must do more than we have
done for the cause of public educa-
tion-the badge of illiteracv must be
removed from North Carolina. The
State, every State. owes to every child
in 1t the opportunity to acquire the
rudiments of an education-to oppor-
tunity to learn. at public expense. to
read. to write and to cipher. 1t is
with the child to acquire the rest.
But this is due it and we should not
longer fail in the discharge of this
dutv.-Charlotte Observer

THE negroes will never prove their
claim to being good and law abiding
citizens as long as they harbor and
shield the criminal class of their race
from the penalty OF their wrong
doing. Let one of them violate the
law and instead of trying to appre-
bend and bring him to justice the
very contrary is the practice among
them, This fact has been demon
