There has been for years and still is
a constant migration 10 other fields Of
labor of young men o. our state. Poll
tics, law, medicine, agriculture, all have
for a made heavy drafts on the
youth of our state 70 build up the rep
utation of these callings in far away
localities. Young men who, were they
TO stay at home would soon become the
leaders in their chosen profession and
bring honor and now TO their state,
feel IL is incumbent on themselves TO
seek work and Establish reputation in
some other locality, and many Of them
have succeeded. Why should it b. so?
Why should the young men Of our
state, especially those OF the profess
sional callings, deem il necessary TO
go from home to establish regulations
In their professions? This is all ron
North Carolina is as good a field for the
lawyer, he physician or the scientist as
any other state. Were these men will
ling 10 cast their lot with the people
Of their state and exercise their brain
| and muscle in the advancement of the
| interests and welfare of their own peo-
pie our state would take a position
| among the states of the union that
would draw forth the envy and the adj
miration Of the whole nation. Our
men of brains, of pluck and of energy
| should stay at home and return to
the state by way of their labors in their
chosen professions compensation for
what she has done for them in the
way Of education and facilities for
preparation for h stand in their choen
caIlings. 1t is not fair to h state of
their nativity for these men TO take
| advantage OF all the opportunities in
the way of education she holds out to
| them and as soon as they have drawn
from her all the strength n can fur
| nish for the battle of life to shake from
their feet the u of the Old North
State and seek other localities wherein
to reap the rewards of the education
furnished them by the mother state.
Because the deserved rewards in the
way of remuneration and reputation
are rather slow in cGnling, the gradu-
ates of our schools and colleges think
they are not fully appreciated at home
and seek homes elsewhere where pre-
ferment ard reputation are more easily
acquired. What a state We would be
had all the men of prominence we nave
furnished to other states stayed at
home and helped TO build up the waste
places in their native state. North
Carolina has not been we'll treated by
her sons in this respect. They fail to
recognize the duty and allegiance they
owe her for what she has one for
them.

THE NEGRO AND THE WHITE RE
PUBLICAN.

That Madison county affair was the
first case in which a negro was denied
the right to earn an honest IIV1ng IN
North Carolina and it should nos De
allowed to go. If the sheriff can do
nothing the governor should step IN
Durham Herald.
We heartily endor the above. Inc
negro should not be interfered with IN
his efforts to make an honest living.
He should be encouraged in all INDUS
trial pursuits. We do not believe in his
s~upplanting the white man in n field
of labor of course; but there is no ques-
ton of thIs arising in the south where
there is a greater demand for labor
than the supply. All men who want to
work, whether white or black, can find
employment, mo there should be no in
reference with any man who Is trying
to make an honest living by the use OF
his hands OIL his brains.
We especially regret this Madison
county affair, because it has been
the boast of the white people IF the
south that here negroes right to work
for their daily bread was not ienied
them; that in industrial matters they
We're given the same chances as the
whites, and that no obstacle was ever
thrown in the way of their making a
living by labor.
We have drawn attention to the diff
ference in the treatment of the negroes
north and south in this respect. Here
they are welcomed as laborers. They
49, -;--11 III 1h1n11- --LIla m ina
north they were not allowed to exercise
many of the manual trades. Where
labor is concerned at the south they
are put on equal terms with the white
mechanic. Their right to make an
honest living is recognized. Only in
the matter of politics and governmental
affairs do the white people here de-
mand and enforce a distinction. At the
north conditions are just the reverse.
There the republican whites will not
allow the negro to work along with
themselves. They want the Negroes
vote and when he has voted they have
no further use for him.
This Madison county affair is IN eX-
ception to the rule hat has marked
the industrial relations between the two
races and a rare exception it is. We
hope. for the sake of our people as well
as for the negroes. that none others
will follow the example of the whlte
people of Madison county. We are glad
that this driving out of negro IabOrerS,
if it had to happen in North Carolina,
should have occurred just where il lid
in a strong republican county. Those
mOunt3ineerS who. with rifle and shot
gun, drove fifty negro labOrers out OF
their county were republican political
fiends of the negro, men who support
a white man for president who Corsid-
ers the negro on equal terms socially
as himself and who cannot see why q
community of white people object to q
negro woman as postmaster for their
town; who feels honOred to have a negro
man sit at table with him. These
are the men who following the example
of their political friends at the north,
will not grant to the negro the right of
making an honest living by the sweat
OF his face. This is the attitude of the
white republican to the negro. yet the
negro considers him his best friend.

Our LEGISLATORS.

In speaking of some of the members
of the present Virginia Senate and
House of Delegates the Richmond
News Leader has the following about
Delegate Churchman and Senator Opie:
John w. Churchman, of Augusta,
chairman of the house committee on
roads and internal navigation. is an
other solid mar. He weighs about 275
pounds, and is rarely out of humor. He
is good listener. as rule, and when
be gets tired he begins to ask questions
of speakers. It's good time to stop
when Mr.. Churchman begins to inter-
rupt.
For terseness, earnestness, brevity
the senator from Augusta is perhaps
the most noted man in the senate. He
has astyle that is unique and emphatic
He is not the man to takes two bites at
a cherry. He arrives at bis conclu-
sions slowly, and then he announces
his position in as few words as posi-
BILE. He is scholarly, polite, but is ag-
gresslve at all times when aggressive
ness counts. He is intensely Vir-
ginian and is in manner gentleman
of the old school.

ragged, and they are ready, willing and
waiting an opportunity for his vindi
cation.
Whether any real good has grown
out of this whole affair is very doubt
full. 1t is charged, with what reason
We know not. that the friends and en-
emies of Campbell in the Senate swap
ped favors with the jamestown bOod
lers, and thus that Ubiquitous measure
was fastened on us. This was the talk
about Richmond before the jamestown
vote was taken, how far true We know
| not. We do know that the measure
got through by very slim margin. If
this investigation and removal of
| Campbell was Democratic issue, a resi-
burst of Writ uous Democratic enthusi-
asm, it was tame, very tame, and is not
likely to bear the party any large crop
of ripe, luscious fruit. For our part
We are ashamed of the whole business,
| We mean ashamed of both sides to the
affair. 1t was a magnificent effort at
State expense to prove that there ale
some people who thank God that they
are not as other people. That is all
there was to it.

Enioined from Talking.

Judge Baxter. in the District Court,
in Omaha, Neb. has issued a restrain
ing order epjoining woman from talk
ing. The complainant was L. Oliphant
Dodge, the owner of an apartment
house, a tenant, who refused to vacate
until her lease expires. The allega-
tions are that the defendant has upon
numerous occasions by talking to the
other occupants caused some of them
to announce their intention of leaving
the apartments; that she has intefered
with the property in different ways,
all to the injury of the plaintiff. The
defendant is forbidden to enter the
apartments of The other occupants, and
from talking to any of the tenants
about the plaintiff in any manner.

Fishing Party.

Big River, May 1S.-On Saturday
the Big River annual fishing party took
their outing, and it was much enjoyed
by those who attended. There were
about twenty in the party, mostly
young people of the neighborhood. A
delicious dinner was served by the
ladies and was enjoyed as only hungry
fishermen can enjoy such things. The
fish caught were from to inches in
length, owing no doubt to the unfa-
vOrable day for such sport, but other
amusements were found which made
the day pass pleasantly. The ladies
of the party were Misses Mary, Lillian
and Lottie Ramsey, Miss Annie Sneed,
Misses Gertrude and Emma Copper,
Miss Pearle Eagle, Miss Carrie Coyner
and Mrs. Maggie Harlow. The names
of the gentleman are omitted as they
are of less Importance. G..

There is still silly cry for Cleveland
by various people. More money is
being spent by New York capitalists
to advertise him than can be dreamed
of, IN fact every leading paper now
advocating him is believed to be paid
to shout his praises and aid in bis
nomination. These very papers are
preaching harmony and party fealty.
Why, they tell Democrats, you com.
plain that Mr.. Cleveland. did not sup
port the Democratic nominee in 1896
and in 1900, and yet you say you will
not support him if nominated. Either
you must cease cOndemniug Cleveland
or you must condemn yourself if you
fail to support him." This sounds like
good logic, but if Cleveland has so en-.
deared himself by his course why may
not other Democrats become great by
following in bis footsteps They will
certainly follow his illustrious exam
pie, they will find in his course all the
precedent they want, they re ally do
not need any precedent, but when ar
raigned for so doing by the Cleveland
followers, they will simply reply,
"Your political Joss did just what
am doing. He voted some other
ticket when things did not suit hi m in
the Democratic party. If he could
commit no wrong, then neither can I.
If it was wrong in him, you nor he
must complain of me. What l am
doing l learned In your school, and
from him. All of you did what Cleve-
land did, all of you did what am do.
