RALEIGH. N. c., Oct 6.-Leading me-.
groes OF the State issued call for me-
gro State convention in Raleigh, October
18th, Tor the purpose Of nominating a
ticket to be voted for by the Intelligent
negroes Of the State"
The call declares the action Of the
Lilly White" Republican Convention at
Greensboro, N. c., was an insult to the
manhood Of colored Republicans, who are
Republicans under all circumstances
when their rights and interests are pro-
tected, and that United States Senator
Pritchard has shown himself the lin.
CRATE" to use the negroes as stepping
stone to prominence and then by q
shameful surrender accept as final an
unjust qualification to suffrage to the
men that hade him.
INDIGNANT NEGROES.
The call expresses indignation that ne
gro delegates were refused seats in tho
Greensboro republican Convention, and
denied even the privilege Of sitting in the
hall as spectators. Negroes are urged to
show themselves men now or forever
abandon hope of recognition as citizens
worthy Of respect.
Senator Pritchar, the call declares, has
told the President of the United States
that there are 10000 white Republicans in
North Carolina We believe, with the
Populists added, It will not reach this
figure. But it can readily be seen that
he was too shrewd to nominate one
white Republican," on the State ticket,
knowing the negroes would not support.
it, and thereby exploded his fallacity OF
10000 White Republicans in North Caro-
lima
We believe the wiley Senator has
abandoned more votes than he retains or
will gain in the near future, as there are
not enough offices to go around.
TO PREVENT @LYNcHING.
Governor Aycock ordered a special term
OF Lincoln County Superior Court to-day
to try Calvin Elliott colored, for crimi-
nally assaulting Mrs. Caleb Brown.
The special term is to hasten the trial.
inasmuch as there is great danger of a
lynchng. In fact, there was an unsuc-
cessful attempt to lynch him early Sum
day morning.
GosEnNoR AYcOCK's TOUR
Governor tAycock returned this morn
ing from a two weeks campaigning trip
through Western North Carolina. He
says prospects are bright for even larger
Democratic majorities than were given
in the campaign of 1898. Many counties
HERETOFORE considered Republican strong
holds will be, he believes, carried for
Democracy.
Mr. Thomas H Ennis. of New York,
is here to take charge of preliminary ar
rangements for a grand trade process
sion which is to be a feature of the
State Fair October 9th to 30th.
NORTH CAROLINA APPLES.
Mr. r. K Bonner has returned from
a tour Of nine apple-growins counties In
Western North Carolina and says that
while he heard many complaints Of short
yields from one cause and another, he.
estimates the crop collectively as enor-
nous. He went as secretary of the State
Board of Agriculture and manager of
the Horticultural Department OF the
State Fair, and secured specimens for
the apple exhibits that will surpass any
ever shown here.
The candidates for county officers
started out to-day for months joint
canvass, which promises to be warm
Republicans and independents charge
that the Democratic candidates are
chosen too largely from the city of RAJ
leigh, and that the country people are
not receiving fair representation It is
a fact that four out Of the five principal
offices Of the county are now filled by
Raleigh Democrats. all of whom are re-
nominated. cause of some resentment
on the part of country people in certain
quarters.
