NEGRO WON PRIZE
High Born South Carolinians
Couldn't do Enough for Him.
An Incident and Object Lesson That Com
petey Answers All Republican
MISREPRESENTATION.
Fayetteville. y. c., May 2;

Fayetteville. n C., May 70.
To the Edtor:-I wish those of our Re
publican friends. both from within and
misrepresenting the feelings of our
Southern white men towards the negro
could have been in Charlotte on the occa
sion Of the recent Firemen's Tourna-
ment and have witnessed the scene as
| did. When a regular old time South
Carolina darkey, clad in a typical red
shirt. drove the horse hose wagon of the
Camden fire department, handling mag
niticent pair of blOoded horses with that
rare skill and tact that only born
coachman and hOstler can do winning
the I'd prize in a contest over the other
crack teams OF both States.
To have seen the demonstration in his
homer, given him by the members of
the Camden company, composed as it is
CT the high bred South Carolinians, COM
ing as they do from a State where the
negro IS supposed TO be nonentity.
would have been a complete answer to
all maligners, and have proved that the
negro who is content to fiji the place in
human affairs for which he is by birth
and nature fitted, will always command
the confidence and even affection of his
white friends.
The old darkey received his honors with
marked mcdesty, though he doubtless,
honestly thought that he was a greater
hero than Dewey was at Manila, while
his white friends seemed as though they
could not do enough for him.
1t was a pleasant incident, and was an
object lessen of its kind.
