The Trouble With Northern People What They
Write About, They do not Understand.

.'It would be more praiseworthy in
Booker Washington if he would use his
money to make his school or some other
negro school good enough for his own
daughter and the other negro girls who
are trying to break into Northern col
leges where they are made to feel that
they are not wanted The proper race
pride would be to build up college for
colored women in which the best educated
would take pride. News and Observer.
To the Editor: / wish to add my
hearty approval to what you say in your
editorial as to Booker Washington
! The most unfortunate thing / see in
the "Dinner Incident" is the loss of
sympathy for, and faith in Booker Wash
ington by the white people of the South.
He has given much good, wholesome
advice to his people in regard to their
training upon all subjects. / have often
quoted him when talking to the colored
people.
Although he gets his money from the
Northern people, still he will be shorn
of much of his power, when once he
loses the confidence of Southern white
people.
The President may not have known
what the result of the dinner" incident
would be, but one thing is seen and that
is that Booker Washington did know and
does know what the white people of the
South would think of the incident, and,
therefore, for his own sake and especially
for the sake of his own race he ought to
have declined the invitation,
recently spent some days in the North
and the trouble find with our Northern
friends is that when they write about
the negro as race, they write about
that which they know little.

The failure of Mcpherson and Wither-
spoon at Sanford is an event that is TO
be deplored. They are heightened pro-
gressive business men, who have done
much to help their town. The short cot

men to the wall unless they can get ex-

THE TENTH CHAPTER.

| The Southern Railways organ--frst
known as the Raleigh Tribune and now
known as the Morning Post-devoted a
whole column yesterday to reviewing the
suit against the State, giving the tenth
chapter in the chain of incontrovertible
evidence. Notwithstanding the fact that
the Legislature of 1879 repudiated all the
value of these bonds except twenty-five
cents on the dollar. the Post says they
| "were never tainted with fraud, or so
treated at any time by the State, and
yet the State Legislature OF 1879 thought
that the State honestly owed only %
cents on the dollar on these bonds and
declined to pay more. 1t adds:
"A lawsuit is on which cannot be whis-
tied down the winds nor avoided by vul-
gar abuse and Misrepresentation. Gov
ernor Aycock, we are quite sure, will
treat it as its gravity requires, and will
secure for the State the best settlement
that law and equity, as adjudged by the
Supreme Court of the United States, if
the matter cannot be settled otherwise,
may decree"
Do you see the point? The Post ad-
.. yises the Governor to secure for the
State the best settlement that law and
equity. as adjudged by the Supreme Court
of the United States, IF THE MATTER
CANNOT BE SETTLED OTHERWISE,
may decree Is it not plain that the
Posts editorial was written or inspired
by the same men who tried to get legis
lation for the bondholders to sue in the
courts? If it is not bluff, why does the
Post suggest that the Governor make the
"best settlement" The people of North
Carolina have passed on these and all
other bonds issued prior TO 1879 and the
matter is settled for all time. The Gov
ernor has no authority, if he had any
desire. to make 1.-The best or any other
sort of settlement" The bondholders
must accept the twenty-five cents or go
into the courts and fight, notwithstand
ing the pleas of the Post and other
agents ana dttoIucsS VI lhO tooeSaoih
Railway.
The Charlotte Observer says lit is not
to be supposed" the suit "will amount to
much" and says "the proceeds" from the
bonds were never applied to this pur-
pose building the road) and adds that
the estate repudiated' the bonds years
ago." Writing to the Norfolk PilotVir
ginian, Col. F. A. Olds, of Raleigh says:
at is said here that in the proposed
suit by the State of South Dakota against
this State to force the sale of the North
Carolina Railway to pay off the bonds
of the Western North Carolina Railway
is dummy" and that the bondholders
induced that Commonwealth to sue be-
cause it can sue another State, while
they cannot, as individuals, do So. This
is about the twentieth attempt to force
this State to pay these bonds, which the
people, by an overwhelming vote, repu-
dated. Many years ago John T.. Deweese
was one of the pioneers in these at
tempts. OF course the road will not be
sold nor the bonds paid. but one thing is
certain, and that is the movement will
immensely strengthen the Democratic
points in the State. It is playing into
Democratic hands, in fact"
These views are not exactly in har
mony with the position taken by the
Southern Railway organ in this city.

The Murphy Democrat has this item
OF historical interest: 1--WE were shown
this morning at Capt. Alfred S. Ener-
sons, section of what seems to have
been the backbone of some extinct
mammoth animal. 1t was seven or
eight inches, in diameter and was found
twelve or fifteen feet below the sur
face OF the ground on Marble Creek
with other bones, some of which were
identified as bears bones They were
found in cave which was entirely
closed and was only discovered by the
marble drill, after going through
marble slab, dropping into the vacant
space.
Evidently in some portions of 1redell
county, celery is a new dish, as the fol-
lowing from the Mooresville Enterprise
shows: "A small darkey was sent to
certain home in town the other day
with bunch of celery. When about to
deliver the parcel to the lady of the
house, he said: Here's de green's. [

nips, but | wants you to know be TO

Here's situation that alleviates the
poor crop in Robson. The Red Springs
Banner says: From late accounts of
that section, Blue Springs is booming.
Although the crops are failures, yet we
hear that there are wild '.varmints'
enough in the woods and swamps to
support it's inhabitants. Postum and
coon tracks are in every field, and the
partridge whistles from every fence
corner and rising hillock."
The editor of the Red Springs Banner
is not backward in making broad hints
as this paragraph shows:
1.-The editor expects some of his adj
mirers to bring him a turkey for
Thanksgiving day. He don't want but
one now, but if two should happen to
make their appearance, one, you know,
could be kept for Christmas. He feels
like thanking his friends beforehand for
their extended Kindness"
