Lula Parkerss and Sunday a
brother of the latter, Mr. W. j.
Parker was married to Miss Bes-
sic Miller, daughter of Mr.. d. j.
Miller. Rev. j. r. Dali ofciat-
ing in both instances.
Rev. and Mrs. W. G. Newton
left Monday for New York, on the
coast of which State they will
spend Mr.. Newton's summer va
cation. They will go by way of
the Old Dominion Steamshiproute
from Norfolk, which is always a
most delightful trip-and especi-
ally so in summer.
lEIt is the business of every
white man who loves his family,
loves his home, loves his State,
to work and vote for the Consti-
tutional Amendment. He who
cries out no danger of negro DOM
ination is either a.scoundrel or he
is ignorant of wha5 he is talking
about. We have had negro domi-
nation in North Carolina, and
until the white men assert them
selves through the amendment
there will always be danger of
negro domination.
The several fire companies Of
the city, we are sorry to state are
much disappointed in not receiv-
ing the annual appropriation
from the city of $50 each, which
has been a custom for several
years. Our city fathers may haYe
good reasons for their action in
the premises, but it does seem
that they could very i'll afford to
cut off this appropriation. Colds
boro has the best volunteer fire
department in the South and
while they have the individual
esteem and support of all our ci~
tizens they should receive moth
ing less from the Board of AL
dermen
The many friends and admirers
of Miss Hannah M, Bodell in this
city, where, as a teacher of instru-
mental music (piano) and voice
culture she has accomplished SO
much and impressed her genius
upon the community and her
charminga personality upon the
hearts of all whose privilege it
was to know her, will regret ex-
ceedingly to learn that she has
accepted a position as Musical
Director in the noted Sans Souci
School, of Greenville, S. c., which
is conducted by ex-Congressman
Perry, SON of the late Coy. Perry.
We had all hoped that she would
continue her Instructions in
Geldsboro, and her departure
from our midst is a real loss to
the musical talent of our city.
Contemplate the contrasts that
Democratic government will
bring about in North Carolina. In
the place of Dan Russell, the
wide-mouthed, profane, appoints
ing Jim Young over the white
bind children of the State, will
be Charles B. Aycock, modest,
moral, with Auglo-Saxon blood
bounding through his veins and as
sle as the sun to the people of
Grace, and just TO every class
Tn the borders of the State.
Think of White occupying a
seat in the Congress of the United
States, and in his place Claude
Kitchin, able, patriotic, b white
man, a representative of the white
manhood and womanhood of
North Carolina. And thus the
contrast could be carried on and
on. But enough. The administra-
ton which has ~disgraved the old
State shall disgrace her no more.
Tt cannot, it shall not be.
DIR. H. +, Freeman, Of Wilson
county, one of the organizers of
the Populist party, a Bryan
elector in 1896, writes: IT am in
favor of the Amendment because,
as far as it can, it stops the
black man from voting, and as
far as it goes and can, it edu-
Gates the poor white boy and
girl. The education Of the girls
is the biggest and foremost ques.
ton of this age. Because it dis
franchises no white man, but is
a stimulus to all white people
to better prepare themselves for
