REPUBLICANS AND poPuL1srs WITH US.
Northampton Alive and Working For the
Amendment.
Especial to News and observer.)

Especial to News and Observer
Jackson, N. c., June 26.-The people IN
North Carolina are thoroughly aroused
The amendment is being discussed every
where and by every body. White Su-
premacy clubs are being organized all
over the county and vigorous campaign
is being waged. The Populists are fall
ing in line. At Rich Square, one white
Republican and one Pooulist Joined a
White Supremacy Club last Saturday.
There are great many white Republicans
in this county who are going to vote for
the amendment because it will eliminate
the negro and give them a respectable
party.
The people are confident of victory be-
cause they do not believe any white man
will betray his own race in the face of the
loyalty the negro is showing for his own
color.
There was a great rally at Jackson last
Friday night. The White Supremacy Club
met in the court house, and we have
never seen such enthusiasm in this county
before. Twenty ladies Joined the club
and their presence and sympathy will be
a great moral support in this campaign
waged for the defense of virtue honesty
and White Supremacy.
