NEGRO CONGRESSMAN GIVES UP
George White Says the Feeling Against
His Rae is Too Strong.
New York World.)

Washington, August 25.-Represen-
'tative George Henry White of the
Second North Carolina district, the
only negro in the present congress-, will
not be a candidate for reelection.
He a recided to leave North Carroll
ma and go to some northern city, prob
ably New York, and resume the prac-
tice of law.
Il cannot live in North Carolina and
be a man and be treated as a man."
he said. I'm my intercourse with the
bar of North Carolina DIN the past 1
have never been made to feel hat 1
was on a different plane with any one
else because I was a colored a but
I know that 1 n he so any long
or. / expect to practice law in New
Yor and if not there then / will 10
cate in some state UP this way.
Il have made up my mind in the
last three or four days not TO he a can
didate for denomination to congress.
I have three reasons for this determi-
nation. In the first place my wife's
health has been wrecked on account
Of the righteousness Of the political
stacks made on me, and I am sure
the excitement of another campaign
for reelection would kill her. Second
ly, I am satisfied I could not secure
a certificate if I We're elected, although
my district is in the So-called black
belt Thirdly, I must devote myself
to employment that pays me money.
7 have not sufficient ean to carry on
a political fight that can only prove
expensive.
II do not care to have a contested
election case. 1 know what they are.
1 will step aside and devote my time
to ~practicing law, and I think I can
get along.
before there is a colored man in con-
gress, and I think it is a shameful
condition that o~ne-eighth OF our popu-
lation should be denied a representa-
ton in the person of some emb
of their race. The colored people have
been faithful as servants and faithful
as citizens. There are always crimi-
nal classes wherever you go, but take
h mass of the colored people and
they win be found to be law-abiding
people and true to their friends
II believe the conditions Of the
south will eventually cause many OF
our people to go to Cuba, Porto Rico,
Hawaii or the Philippines. There are
too many negroes in the south-that
is the trouble"
What can the colored people ac-
complish politically" White RAJ ask
ed.
Il do not believe the black man has
much relief in any political party.
He must paddle his own canoe; he
must think for himself and act for
himself. Legislation will not help
him. The white republicans of North
Carolina are republicans in order TO
get the negro vote to maintain them
in Office, but they do not want negroes
to hold office"
