Throughout the Atlantic coast districts

Generally there a been some fur
Their improvement in the condition of
cotton, but the crop is suffering from
drought in the Carolinas and from too
much rain in portions of the central
belt and portions Of Texas. In the last

poor in others. Shedding is reported
from the greater part of the cotton
belt and Isl from the eastern dis

racy this afternoon the scheme Of flu

paign and maintenance of the work of

NO HONESTY IN IT.

The republicans have not been honest
and just in dealing with the suffrage
question either in North Carolina or the
federal congress-. They have pretended
one thing and acted another thing.
They forced negro suffrage upon the
S~outh-against the honest convictions
and protest of every honorable and
true white man-and did it in the spirit
of luminosity and revenge. But when
Hawaii, composed of a few thousand
whites and twenty times more Of
blacks, had to be hurried into the
American union although lying five or
six thousand miles away, the whites
were put in complete control and prac-
tically there are no native, negro or
yellow voters. And so the republicans
act as to Cuba and will so act as to
other outlying peoples. 1t is in only
the south that it is deemed highly just,
wise, sensible and honorable to clothe
the negro race with the high powers of
suffrage that they may govern and
affiict tn south in the face OF the fact
|o AeS -ouu years OI NOlllS
they remain as a race utterly incapa-
BILE Of an intelligent and independent
exercise of the suffrage. They are
used by designing. vicious white men,
whose only principles are office and all
they can get out of it, as mere tools.
and thus TO band ruin.
The history of white radical manip-
ulation and bossing in North Carolina
is fortunately we'll known. 1t is too
voluminous and ravening to be dis
posed of here. Weeks ago the Mes
senger presented a pen picture of the
curse of white leadership of negro vot-
ing. 1t is a sad story of corruption,
debauchery, plundering and general
Scoundrelism.

The agricultural industry in South
Carolina is not only prospecting, but
there are special features that are full
of encouragement to the farmers there,
and in other states. The Greenyille
News reports 40.2 bushels of wheat to
the acre on five acres. Also 90 bushels
on two acres. 1t says:
Look now at the immediate returns.
The two roller mills here are buying
about 1900 bushels per day, more than
twice the quantity the bought last
year. This at so cents per bushel
means nearly $1,000 per day that would
have gone into the pockets Of the wes-
tern farmers. This $1,000 a day, or
$25, 600 per month, goes into the pockets
of the local farmers in a season of the
year when ready money on the farm
is scarce and n dollar is worth about
$1.25. That is a distinct gain. 1t
means less bills to pay this fall out of
the cotton crop, and that means better
times for the people Of this section"

Russians Hard-Pressed in Madchurfa


St. Petersburg, July PA dispatch
which has been received here from
General Grodenkoff at K~ahabarovsk,
dated July 22nd, reports that the
steamer Odessa, which left Charbin,
July 18th, brought tidings of the Rus
sian force that left Te-Lin, July 7th,
en- route to Charbin.
1t appear that 200 men started with
a large convoy of Chinese Christians,
women and children. After constant
fighting, which was often at close
quarter and with bayonets, they were
again attacked by Boxers July 18th.
The Russians lost heavily n ran
short Of ammunition.
AT last accounts they were threaten
ed by $4,000 Boxers. Engineer Lugo-
witch, at Charbin, had found it impos-
sible to send efficient help, as he re-
quired all his available forces to de-
fend Charbin, which place contained
thousands of unarmed employees, with
their families, who have been concen-
trated from along many sections of the
railway.
General Grodenkoff considers the sit
uation as bad. Attacks are daily
threatened and rebels and marauders
are ovarrunning Manchuria. The gen.
era' says the local governors have lit
tie authority and that fanatics domi-
nate the situation.

REMEMBER NJ My,

In 1898, a mulatto named Manly.
was publishing a negro sheet In this
city he called THE Record" 1t was
well named for it is indeed a Record
sf his own folly, stupidity, infatuation,
and impudence, as we'll as the low
standard of decency and honor that he
measured by. He made himself both
notorious and Infamous. He can never
come to Wilmington so long as he lives
if 1T is known. He has literally ban
,ished himself, and it is doubtful If he
can ever show his face in n COM
If it is known.
What was the great offence and
crime Of this ginger-cake hero? He
made an open fight for the equality of
the negro with the white man, and not
content with that, he assaulted the
character of every decent, v~irtuous
woman in h whole state. The blund-
ser of Manly was so conspicuous, and
the foul filings he made at the virtuous
wives and daughters of the white race
were SO Infamous n cruel that it
created a storm that swept e the
state like a sirocco. Then the white
radicals saw the grossness of the in

democratic trick. and was a fixed up
