The Evening Concert.

The Academy Of Music was crowded
Monday evening, at the concert given
by the C. NJ. Parker Concert Company,
who proved themselves worthy OF their
motto, "Nulli secundus." Taken as a
whole they are undoubtedly equal to any
concert company which has appeared
here and the audience gave ample evil
dence Of their hearty approval of the
program. Every selection was applaud
ed and nearly every one encored. The
members OF the company are Miss Eliz-
abeth Hanson, soprano: Miss Beatrice
Mori, mezzo soprano and accompanist;
Miss Juanita Boynton, mezzo contralto
and reader; Miss Maybelle Terry, alto
and violinist; Mrs. C. NJ. Parker, con-
tralto.
The selection by Mrs. Parker, which
was accompanied by the company, both
vocally and with violin. banjo, guitar,
madolin and piano, was very finely rem
dered. Miss Terry is an accomplished
violinist, and both in her solo and the
other numbers in which she appeared
proved that she is an artist Of decided
merit. Miss Boynton captivated the
house with her readings, and her statue
posing was remarkable in its accurate
portrayal OF the emotions indicated by
the various poses.-Meadville Star, Nov.

For the Caucasian:
Whiteville, n. c., July THE
Democratic registrar in Fairbluf

white men without any cause.
mention a case in point:
Mr.. John Edmund. a man who is
forty years old, a farmer, and who
has lived here all OF his life and
vo.ed at everv election has been
denied re- gistration. He answered
corr, city every question and COM
piled fully in every respect with
the law. After the registrar had
sworn him he procf eded to enter
his mare on slip Of paper. When

of the registrar to the fact that he
ought to register him by putting
bis name in the Registration Book
and not on a separate piece Of pa
per, the registrar got mad and re.
fused TO register him az all. This
registrar is no doubt acting und4 r
nstruc ions from Mr.. Simmons.

machine has begun already to dis
franchise white men even before
they get their infamous disfrau-

WHITE SUPREMACY.

Gene to seed-white Man Put Out aud .
Negro Put In His Place.
1t is all right for a negro to get
between every poor man and his job
and rule prices Of white labor; but
when the negro, by his vote, gets
between some politician and his pie,
then great cry is raised and every
one who does not join in the cry is
a "nigger lover"
1t is said Edwards & Broughton,
State Printers and proprietors, OF
the Biblical Recorder have
become tired of negro supremacy. 1t
is said they gave negro white
pressman's job. IF this is so, it is
as bad as giving some white politi-
clans job to some other white man
by few negro votes.
