THE WHITE RADICALS PREPARING

The radicals are getting ready for
their campaign against the white folks.
1t will be a bad day, a black day for
North Carolina if they shall succeed
an their devilish designs. and an old
commonwealth of some LOO, 900 inhab-

account of a hundred or two bad men
who scheme and plot against their
race.
1t is only too apparent already that
the gang who have so cursed and
plucked North Carolina for thirty-two
years is ben on keeping up the old
game OF rule and ruin. 1t is equally
certain la the contest ahead is to be
desperately fought if the true whites
shall escape humiliation, defeat and
practical slavery.
Who would be willing to live in Will
mington if the insults and outrages of
1898 are to be repeated, and even upon
a wider scale of operation? Put the
blacks in power, and every crime
against the whites will be repeated.
Ladies On the streets will again be
openly insulted, men will be hustled
and cursed, houses will be broken into
and despoiled beyond description.
Even now there are things done that
show that already the revolution of
fourteen months ago is forgotten by
hundreds of bad fellows. They play a
dangerous game if they did but
know it.
The democrats must unite and work.
Defeat of the amendment will bring on
conditions that will be simply unbear-

in peace will be impossible with Rus

not remain passive. The proclamation
of the white men of North Carolina
has given out that their state must be,

departments by the white men with
rhite skins and white hearts. So the
interests of peace and prosperity re-

determined efforts be mad to carry

forever more under the rule of the only
race fit to govern. A White Mans

who would do aught to deprive the
people of such protection and the sacred
muniments of freedom.
