is bowed down with grief at her
untimely death. She was never
happier than when working for
cause of her Master, and took a
special delight in promoting
the happiness of all with whom
she came in contact. She was a
membe of the Methodist church
Her pure and spotless spirit pas
sed away as calmly as the
sleep Of an innocent babe, and
entered tr1umphantly into the
presence of her God, to receive
her promised reward of eternal
happiness.
She leaves a husband and one
child, a mother, brother and
two sisters to mourn their loss.
The funeral was held from
the Methodist church in Eden

tenderly laid to rest. May the

comfort in their hour Of grief.

States that nobly won their indie
pendenCe Of foreign control should
impose their rule upon the lesser
number of the States of the South,
and attempt to enforce govern
mental policy through the elevation
OF the negro race, up to that period
slaves, into political mastership
over the free white descendants of
the builders of the republic
Overwhelmed by immense num-
bers, shut out by SANDER, fraud
and trickerv from the sympathy of
mankind, with the country desolate
with ravaged homes, struggling
with the pangs OF poverty that fol-
lowed the rapine of the Conqueror,
and the exactions of his taxation,
to the last the manhood of the
South protested against the ballot
for the negro 1t was hung as a
milestone upon our neCks, after
temptation had been rejected, only
through the diSfrarChiSement of
our best and trucst men, and
through secret military electoral
tribunals, whose actions were di-
reCted by satraps without response
bilitv to the people.
With the advent of the negro
voter, Ell maSse, necessarily lgnOr-
ant, wholly inexperienced, and
without political conscience, except
dim idea that the Republican
party had waged a terrible war, not
for the economic benefit of the
North, but for his freedom, and
might add thereto, forty acres and
a mule from the possessions of his
former masters, they became as a
whole the prey of INSCRIPTIONS
demagogues, the carpet Dagger,
many of whom migrated to the
South for the purpose.
The dreadful consequences of
the governments which followed
throughout the South, and were
only governments in name, but
legalized systems of plumber, i'll
truth, were felt everywhere. Intel
ligenCe and virtue were PROSTATE
under the weight of enormous
ignorance, manipulated by cunning
and greed.
That | may not write with any
bitterness of personal recollection
e: me quote the words of Senator
McEnery of the condition of Louis
lana. at that time, as delivered ir
the United States Senate:
Negroes became justices of the
peace, constables, sheriffs, legisla
tors, state officials, lieutenant gov,
ernor generals of the militia. Ever
the high Office of Governor was
awarded to him. They were ignor
ant. insolent, and oppressive; anC
corrupt beyond mention. The State
debt in eight years increased from
four to fifty million dollars. They
were police jurors i'll the parishes
and counCilnen i'll the towns anC
cities. All paroChial and municipal
Indebtedness increased i'll the same
proportion that the State debt haC
increased. The State expense:
alone went to $40 900, 900 year
when the legitimate expenses ough'
to have been then, as now, one anC
a quarter millions of dollars.

that the Colored man in the South

and vet | have never failed to advise

But on the whole, the negro is a
child, and like child, loves to play
with fire. We cannot risk the
safety of the household longer. We
will guard and protect his interests
safely. but we will govern, accord
ing to the will of the Creator who =
made the diverse races, as we hon
estly believe.
Nowhere else on the globe, does
the Anglo-SaNon race permit the
possible turning of the house up side
down by negro balance of power
over white civilization Havti and
Liberia are object lessons for man
kind. Few are the negroes from
this country who reach either with
out longing to get away.
Nor is there any State of this
Union from Maine to Oregon, that
would submit to the introduction of
the negro element, i'll sufficient
number to control it's government
and fill its offices, break up its es-
tabllshed polity, and imperil its
| financial safety. Self preservation,
III the last analysis, would com
mand the survival of the fttest."
1t is therefore sheer ignorance,
or arrant hypocrisy that would cry
out against the adoption Of the
Constitutional Amendment on our
part. For we will not submit to
great upheaval of society, to pre-
serve our civilization, the honor of
our fresides and the prospects of our
children, at every recurring election.
We are tired of the inSOlent boasts
of the negro Congressman who has
himself drawn the color line in his

guage, even toward his white re
publican allies.

had the first institutions especially
built for the lolored deaf and dumb
and blind, and insane, in the hIstO-
~ of the world. He has to-day. in
the Colored graded schools OF the
towns, chiefly supported by the
whites, far greater advantages than
the white children of the country
may hope for, i'll long years to
come
He had also special normal schools
to train his teachers, supported by
the State, and an excellent Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College,
which, though organized by help
from the United States, is assisted
by State funds, and public sympa-
thy, and placed under a faculty
wholly of his own race
What was his response to all
this With few shining excep-
tons he has invariably allied him
self with the elements of misrule
and corruption, and the mass of
I2o, 900 voters of his color is the
most serious menace to the stability
of institutions, the efficiency of law,
and the purity of legislation in our
midst.
This was signally demonstrated
upon the first occasion of differ
1nces of opinion between white men
formerly together, upon certain
questions of great economic inter
est, giving rise to the division of
parties Ill 1904. The moment that
certain men who loved self more
than their country or their race
could use the negro as the balance
of power, evil came upon the land.
The negro was not slow to demand
a price that must have appalled, the
very authors of his political power.
In short time over a thousand
office holders of his race were found
in Eastern North Carolina; our sea
port towns were suffering from his
nllsrule; women were unsafe with
negro police, or even Inundated by
negro school committeeman; and
the only negro representative in the
United States Congress took his
seat from district whose convention
was so overwhelmingly negro, as
to eject unCeremOniouslv the white
men who had out Heroded HerOd
in surrendering their pride of race
III the mad thirst for place.
The negro, unfortunately is less
fitted for suffrage and Office to-day
than he was a generation ago The
old instruction and discipline of the
master has vanished; the negro
father, busy in making his living
at the best, and often given up to
vice, usually fails in moral training
for his offspring, and we have a
vass body of the race, diyerging in
to idleness, dissipation, vice and
crime There is now universal
complaint of the scarcity of reliable
labor.
Far be it from me to stir up un-
worthy prejudice against the negro
because he is not a white man. He
was loyal and faithful during the
war; and there are vet old friends
among his race, whom | shall hon
or for one, all the DAYS of thei,
lives And there are men of the
race, of virtue and intelligence, anG
interested in the security of prop
erty and wise administration
