NEGRO IN THE BACK GROUND,

The Tarboro Southerner says that
'for the first time since the right OF
suffrage was conferred upon the Repub-
lican party, the executive committee of
that concern met without attracting at
tention and without noise
Information OF a like character canes
from other places. The Fusion managers
have sent the word down the line that
this year the negro must stay in the
background, must not be in evidence at
conventions, must play possum" and
pretend he takes no interest in politics.
That is the program and it seems that
the Edgecombe negroes are obeying or
ders. The white folks who are wise will
not be fooled when negro politicians say
their race cares nothing about the
Amendment and is taking no interest in
politics. In twentyfour hours $4,000 Of
the $780, 900 will be organized and march
ed to the polls to vote against white SUI
premacy.

GREAT DISPARITY.

In the debate at Cary High School Fri
day night on the query Resolved, that it
will be for the best interests of our peo-
pie of orth Carolina to become q man
ufacturing State one. of the speakers
for the negative made this astonishing
statement:
The added wealth from manufacturing comes
not to the masses but to the classes. In the
townships of Durham county. outside of Dur
ham, the total valuation OF property has De
CREASED Sl24,000 in the last thirteen years.
Durham township. which includes the city of
Durham, INCREASED nearly Sc, 100000, of this
increase all except S640,oo0 went to few owners
of factories
These are figures which ought to give
pause TO patriotic men. The great in
crease in wealth in Durham is a matter
for congratulation if it has not been
derived at the expense of the country
districts. The great disparity between
the town and county is not healthy The
only true growth and prosperity is where
manufacture, commerce and agriculture
are alike profitable.

COL. CUNNINGHAM WITHDRAWS

We print elsewhere today a communi-
cation from Col. John S. Cunningham of
Person, withdrawing from the contest
for the gubernatorial nomination.
Col. 49, Cunningham has many devoted
friends throughout the State who were
earnestly supporting him for the nomina-
tion He is one of the largest and most
successful farmers in the South, as a
legislator he was safe and conservative,
and as a citizen he is public spirited in
the highest degree. His service as presi-
dent of the State Fair gave him wide
reputation and host of friends who re-
joice in all honors that come to him.
Col. Cunningham is Democrat who puts
party above personal ambition. His let
ter breathes the true spirit and will add
to the esteem in which he is held in
North Carolina.

A SUBSIDIZED LIAR.

The Asheville Gazette, which has the
distinction of being the only newspaper
in the State that has openly sold its
editorial columns, has the effrontery to
criticize honest newspapers. In it's Sat
urday's issue it makes this charge:
ITO our knowledge the Raleigh News and
Observer has been guilty in the last month on
four separate occasions of misquoting Republi
can speakers i'll columns and then COM
menting severely on the matter contained in these
Interpretations, and though called to account by
the men who were the victims of this scheme of
fraud the Raleigh News and Observer has con.
tinued to make campaign capital out of its own
fabrications.'
TO our knowledge" every word and
syllable in this charge is false. The only
instance given for such a wanton false
hood by the Gazette is that, after quot
ing Blackburn's incendiary talk at New
ton, the News and Observer had made
mo editorial comment or apology" In
today's paper we print Mr.. Blackburn's
denial, and with it we print sworn tes-
lllltoHs u SSAllSIucH VI HlSu StduulHS tIdC
Mrs. Blackburn uttered the incendiary
words printed in this paper. The Ga
zette has not seen and it will not see
any apology for severe criticism Of a
Federal office holder who incites men TO
assassination.

MR.. sPRUILL IN CHATHAM.
He Meets and Routs Opponents Of Constitu-
tional Amendment.

To the Editor: On Wednesday and Thursday
the 14th and 18th, Hon. F. S. Spruill, of Frank
lin, delivered two splendid amendment speeches
in Chatham county. The first day he spoke at
Councils Shop, where he was met by Hon. ]. J..
Jenkins, and Mr.. W. c. Pearson. On Thursday
he spoke at Riggsbee's Store, where he was met
by Mr.. W. c. Pearson, Mr.. Jenkins having fail.
ed to come out.
1t had not been our good fortune to hear Mr..
Spruill before, but his reputation as strong,
forcible and vote-winning campaign speaker hao
led us to expect great things of him, nor were
we disappointed.
On Wednesday the weather was perfect, and a
large crowd assembled to hear the joint debate
between him and Mr.. Jenkins. From the first
It clear that Mr.. jenkins, while smooth
and persuasive speaker was completely out
classed Mr.. Spruill has the gifts of an orator,
and TO a natural grace of manner and speech,
he adds a wide fund of information and a
niHble and effective wit. His speeches were
remarkable for their perfect adaptation to the
time, the audience and the occasion. His speech
on Thursday at Riggsbee's Store was, if possible
better than the one at Councils Shop Not so
large a crowd heard it, but it was man TO
man and heart to heart appeal to the white
men to stand together in this supremest strug-
gle for White Supremacy.
His exposition OF the development of this
amendment to our Constitution necessary
social and historical evolution, clear,
lucid and simple that child could comprehend
il, and yet it was so strong and SO forcible as
to be convincing to the most skeptical. One OF
the most effective parts of his speech his
deprecation of his own want of knowledge a
lawyer, and the absolute and perfect knowledge
OF constitutional law by his adversary When it
is remembered that Mr. Spruill is lawyer OF
considerable reputation and Mr.. Pearson has no
further acquaintance with the law than comes
from service as a township constable, the sar-
casm of the thing appears. Mr.. Pearson spoke
with absolute assurance of the unconstitutional
ity of the amendment, and the folly of his speech
did not appear TO him, till Mr. Spruill bega
to ridicule that class OF people who know
than the whose lives are devoted Ia
study and research. He turned the laugh on
Pearson completely, and wilted his self-assurance.
The meetings full of promise. They
brought the Democratic view to the minds OF
our people, and good must and will result.
At any rate the people of Chatham have a
welcome for Mir. Spruill whenever he comes our
way.
1t was hoped that Hon. John w. Atwater woul
be present, but the urgency OF his engage
ments at Washington kept him away. His
presence would have done good.
