1eep away From Cities.

Il
mo intelligent action can be taken on
the race question in this country without
considering all the elements that are fac
tors in that question. Data must be gath
cred by the governments The cotton and
rice crops of the South nave been very
largely raised by colored people, who seem
especially adapted to agricultural plr-
suits, and yet these people are leaving the
farms and crowding into the cities, where
they live in unhealthy localities. There
are now $4,000 negroes in the District of
Columbia, notwithstanding the fact that
there is no manufacturing industry there
and but little employment for colored
people. In the cities the death rate among
negroes is about double that of the
whites, while on the farms it is nearly
the same as among whites.
y If by any means the government could
prove to the &colored people that it is to
their advantage to, remain on the farms
and grow strong. and It 1t would make
them secure in their rights as American
citizens while engaged lin S agricultural
pursuits or in any legitimate occupation.
then the government would have done
much toward solving one Of the greatest
problems of the country and would be
more than. repaid for the money expend-

Mr.. Fortune declared that he dissented
from Booker T. Washingtons declaration
that he sympathized with the Southern
white man as much as with the Southern
negro THE negro's first duty said Mr..
Fortune, lis to protect himself and his
colored sisters from the assaults Of
scoundrels like BENJAMIN r. Tillnan."'
Col. Pledger spoke especially with refer
ence to the families of negroes.
r mo man black or white, = he said, who
does not look after his family and see
that it is cared for materially, morally
and educationally can expect to hold the
respect of the community In which he
lives. If the coloreds man wants the
white man to respect colored woman
hood. he must be ready to defend, with
his life if necessary, the woman under his
own roof. Laws are aof no use unless
backed up by sentiment. We are here
to make that sentiment.

Our reporter recently met
gentleman who has been stopping
for some time past in Biscoe and
vicinity. lie has visited the works
of the lola Mining Co., which are
located in Montgomery county,
about two and one half miles from
Biscoe and belong to Mr.. Jones,
the Superintendent, and some Bal
timore parties 1t is stated that
the latter paid some $4,000 for a
two-thirds interest in the property,
and have already refused a much
higher figure.
The shaft and incline are now
down about thirty feet, and with a
working force of twenty-three
hands are averaging four pounds
amalgum worth SIS per ounce
each day, using three sets Chilean
mill stones on copper plates.
The first twelve feet of shaft
yielded a gold brick assayed al
Charlotte stamped $3.50, which
is now on exhibition at Pinehurst.
The company is now putting in
a ten stamp mill, which will be
run in addition to The original
works.
Assays show that the milling

about $50 per ton.
