Amid great excitement the subscriptions

EMANCIPATION DAY.

The negroes yesterday celebrated the
fcrtieth anniversary Of the Emancipation
Proclamation. For forty years the mem-
bers of that race have been singing in the
words of Whittier:
80, praise and thanks, the Lord, He come
To set his people free"
The celebrations in this State were in
keeping with the spirit of the day. The
c6lored population met, heard addresses
resolutions and returned to their homes
happy in the thought of the progress the
race is making. The addresses were in
the right spirit. There was note CT
hope and cheer in those we have read
and the admonitions were such as will
be generally approved.
The resolutions in Raleigh contained
this statement:
eve appreciate the friendly feeling
that exists in this State between the
races, and desire this feeling to grow.
sympathy with that utterance and wish.
There is no doubt that this friendly
feeling will continue if teachers, preach
ers and others will inculcate that spirit
instead of making foolish predictions OF
race conflict and bloodshed. Such things
exist only in fevered imagination.
We print the resolutions adopted at
the Raleigh celebration and extracts from
the address delivered by President Dud
ley, of Greensboro of the State A. and
NJ. College, at Kinston. It's whole tone
was helpful to the negro race, giving them
good counsel and pointing. out the oppor-
tunities and advantages offered to them in
North Carolina. He stressed agricultural
and industrial labor and urged the youth
OF the race to fit themselves for life by
industry and skill. Such addresses will
bear good fruit.
