Z REJOICE

North Carolina stands redeemed, re-
generated and disinthralled-" Let all
the people rejoice. Let praise and
thanksgiving and glory and honor be
given to Almighty Father, h giver of
every good and perfect gift, and the
All-wise ruler of nations for the splen-
did victory in behalf Of civilization and
good and Just and honest and econo-
micaI government The dark night is
gone. The sun of peace and joy and
satisfaction and contentment rises once
more to drive away the gloom and
blackness, and bring in the light of a
glorious DAY. The permanence of free
institutions in grand DID North Caro-
lima is assured. The maintenance of
law and order, with all their atten-
dant blessings, is guaranteed. Let all
rejoice.
The great achievement has been
wrought under intense stress of mind
and heart, and by the united strength
n purpose of the white race. The
amendment that is carried by so great
a majority, was not the work of anger
or passion or hatred of the whites for
the blacks. 1t was a positive necessity.
The time had come for a change. Pa
thence was exhausted and the Anglo
Saxon saw clearly that the time had
come for a strenuous effort, for an
union of hearts and of rpo and
for the salvation of the state. The
white men rose in their strength not be-
cause they were unkind or nimical to
the black race. Not that. for of all men
they know them best and nave the most
genuinely kind feelings for them. It
was a great movement to free both
races-the blacks from their u%nprinci-
pied, bad white masters who led them
as sheep to the shambles; the whites
from their u~nbearable thraldom to an
inferior race that cannot govern them
selves. So the mastery work was con-
ceived, and pressed forward with all
will and vfgOr to a gloriou cOnSumma-
ton. Let there be henceforth, peace,
amity and prosperity in all the borders
of North Carolina. May all promises
made be amply fulfilled. Let the intel
1igence and virtue of the democratic
party in North Carolina be as deter
mined in the enforcement of law and
order and in the maintenance of moral
ity and education as it was in
of the campaign to make the amend
ment a law.

THE OLD FALSIFYING AND ABUSE
TURNED LOOSE.

Looking V northern papers now
reminds one of the course of northern
papers towards the south in the months
preceding h great war. Many of
them We're so hostile they saw but one
side and that the wrong side. AL
though ever since the beginning of the
present federal government, ever in the
first term of President George Wash
ington, the northern states had been
inimical to and oppressive of the south,
as abundant evidence in reach shows,
they could see no sense or in the
South'S determined attitude at last to
repel all farther assaults. and ever to
withdraw from the unfortunate com
pact if it should be deemed necessary
to do so.
Although h north turned loose upon
the south a great horde of blacks to
vote when they had not a solitary quail
ification for the very responsible and
high privilege granted. and thus rob-
bed, ruined, consumed. debauched the
south, 1t still, with some honorable ex-

for such it was, and is not in the collar
because the southern whites have de-
termined to get rid of the yoke by an
educational test applied to the negroes,
the class that the north SO foully used
to curse, prosecute. affict and rob the
whites in the south. North Carolina
has lost $40, 0OO, OO0-every cent Of it
because of the negro voting. South
Carolina is in the same bad fix. Lou
isiana was feeced and robbed whole

What do you see now? The dirty,
prosecuting, false republican and So
called independent papers are misrepre-
senting in the old stereotyped way the
actual occurrences. They are lying and
perverting and ignoring facts. They
let their readers see but one side of the
shield. They do not lay h real facts
before their ignorant readers, and leave
them in the dark perfectly as to the
real conditions, and the multiplied
causes extending through ear tina
have steadily led to h present occur

They blubber over Butler and do no
tell the people that this rascal started
the fuss by appealing to the negroe
and white republicans to unite with hi
gang of populists for the purpose o
driving every white democrat out o
North Carolina. They do not tell OF tn
threats of assassination, the assault:
upon white registrars, the attempt
ed burnings, and stealing regis
tration books, the thousand out

concealed, and white men rise In theil

the negroes pay 8 3-5ths. Any nan in
