times. And all ON account of that thick
headed Jack Gresham. Well, I'm glad
| found him out, anyway. If we had
been together all the time, there is no
knowing what might have happened, and
just think of having to go through life
with such a stupid. But, oh, dear, wish
we hadn't quarreled just now or that
there were some other young men in town
that were any fun. But all the other
young men are silly, and ut the worst
he is only stupid. Dear nue., but l am
lonesome!'
Jacks meditations for the two weeks
might be condensed into a paragraph
about as follows:
''There is no getting around it, l was
falling in love with her, but it is a good
thing | found her out when l did. Whew,
what a spitfre she is, And then think
of having to live with a woman who
thinks she knows more than you do
But, oh, We lords Of ladies intellectual.
Inform US truly, have they not henpeeked you allf
Guess III go fishing today. No, III
be hanged if | will I'll go botanizing.
But darn botanizing anyway
BY the Sd of July they were both lone
ly and very miserable, and Polly had not
yet decided on her unique celebration.
She had thought of exasperating Jack
by buying a lot of set pieces, each put
ting the number 20 in some different
way. and getting her little brother to set
them up in some conspicuous place where
Jack could not help seeing them from his
home. But still that would not be so
very much fun after all. Jack, on the
other hand discovered during the two
weeks of the quarrel that not only had
he been in danger of falling in love with
Polly, but that he was in love with her,
| and he argued himself into the conviction
that II they could only get into the new
century safely they would have a hun
dred years ahead of them before there
would be any chance of anything arising
so eXaspeyating as this end of the cen
tury dispute After he had arrived at
| this conclusion an idea came to him that
was remarkably bright, even Polly after
| ward admitted, for such a stupid fellow.
On the forenoon of the Fourth Of July
Jack took an American flag in one hand
and flag of truce in the other and
marched gravely up TO the Davis cottage
Polly smiled in spite of herself and grant
| ed the armStice
Have YOU decided yet on the unusual
celebration that you were thinking of for
the last Fourth of July of the century,
For the first of the new century" said
Polly.
'Nevor mind thst," said Jack. II don't
care when the new century begins. All
! know is that | will not be happy in it
unless you agree TO begin it with me.
Why not celebrate this Fourth by get
cling engaged? And we can celebrate the
Next by getting married, and then Wen
be sure of celebrating the right day"
Polly was so taken by surprise that
she didn't even say, "This is so sudden
Instead she disappeared quickly into the
grape arbor, while Jack followed. When
they emerged again, they had agreed
thoroughly that they didn't care when
any old century began, and two Fourth
Of July celebrations had been arranged
for instead of one.

kept away from them.

MAKING HISTORY.

We are making most important
history this year In North Carolina.
We believe that the I'd day of August
will mark a new epoch in our good
old State-a time when the pail of
negro domination will be lifted and
Waite supremacy permanently estab'
lished, which means good govern
ment will be assured and the dawn
ing of an era of prosperity and hap
piness to all the people. The I'd day
of August, 1900, will be looked back
to as one of the most important
dates in our history, because it
marks the adoption of the new
declaration of independence, where
by negro rule and the rule of their
white skinned allies became thing
of the past.
Fathers, how will you feel In after
years, when this grand day Is cele-
brated. II you have to tell your
children that none of this glory be-
longs to you-that when the issue of
white or black was presented In
North Carolina you proved traitor
to your race and said by your vote
that you preferred negro domination
to white supremacy? Fathers, If
you have no personal pride in this
matter, for the sake of your innocent
children save them from the blush of
shame on account of the history you
are making now. Be a white man,
inside and outside, and stand by
your race In this momentous strug-
gle. Don't heed the receptions and
falsehoods of the pie-counter allies
of the negroes. 1t ia a life or death
agony with them. Eliminate the
negro vote and many of them are
out of jobs, because they can't be
elected to Office by the white vote.
You can readily see that selfishness
Is the motive of this gang In trying
to deceive white men. Don't permit
them to place a badge of treachery
to race upon you. Stand by and
with your fellow. white men and help
them to win a glorious victory and
share with them the honor of re-
deeming the State.
The western sentinel. [volume] (Winston-Salem, N.C.) 1887-1926, 1900-07-26
SELFISH LEADER

Butler Is ready to sacrifice party
and race tor the sake of Butler.
H-Lce he is exc. edingly anxious that
the next Legislature shall he com.
posed of a gang that will re. urn him
to the United States Senate to mis-
represent North Carolina for six
more years. As evidence Of his soil
citude along this line and his willing
ness to trade his party's State ticket,
read the following extract from q
letter sent by Butler to the Populist
county chairmen:
81 want you to give me your
advice with one point In view, name
ly: will running both State tickets
through to the election, and voting
both, thus sacrificing the State
ticket, make 1t surer for yon to elect
your member of the Legislature in
your county? Ii SO, we had better
sacrifice the State ticket, because we
must have the Legislature or politi.
cal liberty is dead in North Carolina.
But If you think it will help your
Legislative ticket in your county to
fix up q co operative State ticket,
with Representatives of both parties
on 1t, or If you think 1t will even not
hurt the prospect of our Legislative
ticket to do this, then of course the
wise and proper thing to do is to fix
up this cooperative State ticket at
once and have 1t printed"
Anything to save Butler is the slo
gan of this traitor to his party and
race. "We must have the Legisla-
ture," he says Let us see that he
does not get 1t, If for no other reason
than to save the State the calamity
of Buffers return to the Senate.

GOOD BEHAVIOR

As rule, the negroes of this sec
tion have behaved remarkably well
up to this period Of the campaign,
and they deserve credit for it and we
eheerfully accord 1t to them. The ei
forts of the white pie-eaters to stir the
passions and prejudices of the ne
groes have borne but little fruit, and
we trust the negroes will coltinue to
turn deaf ear to the lamentations Of
those who would get them into trouble
and be missing themselves when the
day of trouble rolled around.
We trust that everything will con-
tinue quiet and peaeeable and we be-
lieve it will unless the madness and
desperation of the white allies over
their approaching defeat shall move
them to incite the negroes to violence.
Here ofore when such means have
been resorted to, the poor negro has
generally been the only sufferer, while
mean white men who instigated the
trouble escaped by finding secure
hiding places. II there Ia any serious
trouble at the election the RESPONSE
biiitv should be placed where 1t be-
longs. OF eoarse, the neg roes will
suffer If they permit themselves to be-
come the tools of theiF white allies,
but In such event the neg 'oes shonid
not do all the suffering.
We say these words not as a
threat, but rather as a warning. We
trust they will be needed. The DEM
ocrets want peace and good order
and hope the Republicans will not
force the opposite.
Again we commend the negroes of
our section for their good behavior,
even amid the scenes of the Holton-
Beckerdite farce and we eDjoin them
to refuse to become breastworks for
cowardly white leaders.
We believe there will be no clash at
the election and the surest way to
prevent it is to let 1t be thoroughly
understood hat Ii disturbances
should occur responsibility will be
placed at the door of the nan or
men, white or black, who brought it
about. Enough said.
