All of which means that, before Roose-
welt would kick Wick out, he required
Pritchard to do two things:
l. Eat dirt. He required him to with
draw his Smithfield pledge to have all
the negroes removed from office because
they were negroes, and to base his oppo-
sition to Sam Wick solely upon the al
legged failure of Wick to vote the varie-
gated ticket, composed of Republicans.
Populists, eX-Democrats, etc, put out
by Pritchard last November.
.. Made him swear he loved to eat dirt.
He required him to state in writing that
he recommended a negro postmaster at
Winton. the county seat of HEREFORD, and
one of the best of the smaller towns in
Eastern North Carolina, and had obtained
places for twenty or thirty other ne
groes, under the National Administra-
ton, including a lieutenant in the army.

ROOSEVELT MADE PRITCHARD
EAT DIRT AND SWEAR
HE LOVED IT.

The Washington Star, the organ of the
Roosevelt administration, prints the APP
pointment of Person as postmaster at
Wilson in such a way as to show that
Pritchard was forced to eat dirt In
compliance with Pritchard's request, the
President turned down Wick, the negro
postmaster at Wilson, but before doing
so compelled Pritchard to parade his un-
dying belief that negroes ought to be
appointed to office in the South, and to
prove this by letter given simultaneous
ly to the public showing how zealously
he had labored to secure the appoint
ment of negroes to important official
positions. Here is Pritchard's letter
which was given out with the statement,
already printed, on the day that Wick
was bounced.
Dear Mr.. President: Referring to our
conversation in regard to Wick the other
day, l beg to call your attention to the
fact that J. b. Catus, a leading colored
man, is postmaster at Winton, n c.,

came into power the last time. l under
stand that his administration of the of
flee is entirely satisfactory to the peo-
pie of that community.

term.
Il also secured the appointment as you
know. of j. G. Dancy as recorder of deeds

are two or three prominent positions now
being filled in the recorders office by
colored people who were appointed on
my recommendation. | have secured the
transfer and promotion Of number of
colored people from North Carolina who
are employed in the departments, and /

appointment Of not less than twenty col
ored men as laborers in the various de-
partments in this city.
81 also call your attention to the fact
that I have secured the appointment of

ask you to read the inclosed letter from

Jackson, July 16.-No general

The farmers of the neighborhood
where the best is reported have taken

The reports of boil weevil damage,
which were quite frequent from
several counties a few weeks ago,
have entirely ceased. and crop condi-
tions generally satisfactory, justify
