NOT MUCH THEY ARE.

Most Of the newspapers OF the
State are now receiving liberal dona-
lions from the campaign funds OF
some party.-Progressive Farmer.
The GOLD LEAF is not among them.
We have not received dollar from
any campaign fund nor have we the
promise of any.
One gentleman, not a candidate, has
had some extra copies of the paper
circulated at his expense, but with
this exception we have contributed
our part to the sum total OF campaign
work in the cause of White Suprem-
acy and good government without re-
ward or the hope OF reward other than
the consciousness Of duty faithfully
performed.
And we dare say that with few ex-
ceptions the same thing may be said
of all the other Democratic papers in
the State. No, when it comes to re-
ceiving liberal or any other kind OF
donations from campaign funds, the
newspapers are not in it. But they
ought to beat least to the amount
of their actual expenses for the thous-
ands of extra copies of the paper scat
tered broad cast and cost of additional
work done during the campaign.

ITO YOUR TENTS, O ISRAELI"

Let every Democrat bestir himself
to roll up big majority for the
amendment and the white mans
ticket. Remember every vote cast
against the amendment is a vote for
vicious, incompetent and bad govern
ment. That we will carry the county
we have no doubt. but the size OF the
majority will depend, in a great
measure, upon how active every white
man is from now on to the day OF the
election. The county has been pretty
well covered by Democratic speakers,
but many have been too Indifferent to
90 to hear these speakers. They
should be sought out and made to
understand the Importance OF the
great question to be settled on the
End day of August. Campaign oratory
is all right-a big factor in politics
but personal work is also needed.
Every man to his duty.

A Great Wrong to the Negro Race.

One of the greatest wrongs that has
ever been done the colored man was
giving him the ballot before he knew
what to do with it. This fact is now
generally acknowledged by thinking
people both North and South. 1t has
alienated the races as nothing else
would. 1t has perverted the aspira-
tons of the negro and made him
tool, foot ball, for politicians to
ride into office, and engendered the
peace and prosperity of the whole
South. Many of the most successful
colored men, those who have accumu-
lated property, and most highly re-
spected by the white people are free
to admit that the ballot in the hands
OF the ignorant negro man has worked
great in jury to the whole race; and
they express the hope that the right
of suffrage may be abridged. After
the adoption Of the amendment to be
voted upon in August the colored
man will endeavor to educate his
children; and the education will soon
be along different lines. The youth
Of this misguided race will no longer
be educated with the express purpose
Of holding office. That the amend
ment will be adopted there is no
longer any doubt.-Roanoke- Chowan
Times.

4 NEW DECLARATION CALLED
FOR.

This week Hon. Locke Craig, a
native of BERTHE, and Hon. Chas. b.
Aycock, our next Governor, had ap-
pointments to speak in that county.
Several young ladies, representing
different portions of the county, were
appointed committee on invitation.
In brief address ''to the white peo-
pie Of BERTHE county, published in
the Windsor Ledger of last week, the
closing sentence reads as follows:
In this the closing year of the nine
teenth century, let the Old North
State make a new declaration which
will give notice to the world that it
will no logger be ruled by men who
gain their political power through
the votes of an inferior race-a decla-
ration which will insure for all time
to come the supremacy of white men
with white principles, and prove a
safeguard to their wives and daugh-

DEATH OF EX-GOVERNOR CARR.
Passed Away Sunday at His Home In
Edgecombe COunty-fiad Been Sick
for Several Weeks.

Ex-Governor Carr died at his home,
''Bracebridge,' in Edgecombe county,
Sunday morning. He had been sick
for several weeks and during the past
few days it was known that his con-
dition was critical. His death will be
mourned as a distinct loss to the
State.
From the Raleigh Post we take the
following:
For some months the Ex-Governor
had been in declining health and it
has been apparent to his family and
friends that he could not live long.
He was sufferer from kidney trou-
BILE and his decline in health has been
rapid for several weeks past.
Governor Carr, who was native of
Pitt county, was sixty-one years of
age. He leaves a wife, one married
and two unmarried sons and two I'M
married daughters, besides very
large circle of relatives and friends,
in Edgecombe, Warren and Franklin,
who sorrowfully mourn his decease.
When a young man. Governor Carr
moved to Edgecombe county, where
be has large plantation. In 1891 he
was elected president Of the State
Farmers Alliance. Previous to that
time he had served as chairman of the
Board OF County Commissioners for
many years. He was nominated for
Governor by the Democratic State
convention of 1892. The race for the
nomination was an exciting one and
will be memorable in the political his
tory Of the State. The aspirants for
the nomination were Governor Thos.
NJ. Holt, who had become Governor
upon the death of Governor Daniel G..
Fowle; Gen. Julian S. Carr and DR..
George w. Sanderlin. The conyen
ton was in session nearly all night,
and just before day MIR. Elias Carr re-
ceived the nomination. and was
triunphantly elected in November,
defeating d. Nj. Furches, Republican.
who has since been elected Justice
on the State Supreme Court bench.
and Wyatt P. Exum. Populist, of
wayne. Governor Carr received
about 125. 900 votes.
The administration Of Governor
Carr. while chief executive of the
State. was clean. conservative and
sound. At no period of the States
history were the people Of the State
freer from disturbance and more con-
tented and happy.

CAN you picture the condition OF
poor old North Carolina if by any
possibility the amendment should
fail of carrying? This State would
become the paradise Of negroes-the
dumping ground for the hordes OF
disfranchised blacks from adjacent
States. An intolerable condition OF
things would exist everywhere in the
Eastern counties, and venality and
corruption, outlawry and ruin. ter
ror and bloodshed would reign. Does
any thinking man doubt that this
would be the result?

TRUE TO THEIR RACE.
Republicans and Populists Whom the
"Lust of Office Does Not KILL

-ooA VI o1AA\S DOSo wv aNs"s
There are Republicans and Popu-
lists who hold race pride and White
Supremacy above party and office.
Some of these are in Vance county
not as many as there ought to be,
however-and they are to be found in
every other county throughout the
State. But it was of Northampton
county that we started out to speak
more particularly. Last week it was
stated in these columns that Sheriff
Buffaloe, Of Northampton, had de-
clined the nomination for reelection
at the hands of the negroes saying
that Republican though he was he
was more than that-he was a white
man-and could not afford to vote
against the amendment.
And "there are Others" as we see
from the Jackson correspondent of
eth Raleigh Post Tuesday:
Exum Griffin, who was nominated
by the negroes for treasurer on the
14th, says: at was done without
my knowledge, and l have not &C
cepted. The issue is the white man
or the negro, and l am surely white
man."
John +. Drake, one OF the Republic
can county commissioners, and a
brother-in-law of Sheriff Buffaloe,
was nominated by the Populists and
endorsed by the Republicans for re-
election. In card published in the
Roanoke Uo.Oan Times Mr.. Drake says
he cannot accept the nomination from
either convention, and states his rea-
sons therefor as follows:
II recognize the fact that the great
and overshadowing issue in the pres
ent campaign is not party question,
but higher one-that of White
Supremacy-which | heartily sup
port"
A. l.. Finley, Republican of Nc
Dowell county, was nominated by his
party for register of deeds. He
declines the honor (?) and in letter
to the Marion Democrat he says:
Il am for White Supremacy and a
white mans government, and will
vote the Democratic ticket and re-
quest all my friends to do likewise.

WE have nothing to say to the
white man who thinks the negro is as
good as he is-we waste neither time
nor thought over such fellows-but
to the man who is honestly in doubt
about the amendment for fear it
might disfranchise him or his chill
dren, we again say it will do no such
thing. The Democratic party is COM
posed Of white men and it stands to
reason that they would not disfran-
chise their own voters. They could
not afford to do so if they wanted to.

WHATEVER else may be said of him
the man who is filled with prejudice
against his fellow man; who thinks
every man a rascal who does not
agree with him: who undertakes
to array class against class; who
would stir up strife between the
races; who allies himself with an
alien and inferior race against his
own people-such man we say is
not as good citizen nor as worthy
to receive the support and share the
respect and confidence of his fellow
men as one who is the very opposite

The campaign in North Carolina is
not one Of party against party, but
the fight is white man versus black
man. The white man who believes he
is superior to the negro will stand by
his race. White men of all parties in
every section Of the State are stand
ing by their race and will support the
amendment, regardless of party affil-
iations. This is the wise thing to do.
The elimination Of the negro from
politics means the betterment Of the
State morally, financially, politically
and educationally. - Kinston Free
