POST MASTER WICK IN
TOWN

Mr.. H. S. Wick, a prominent
business man of Wilson, N. c.,
and who was Post Master there
for many years, passed through
the city this week, en- route to Cape
May, N. J., on a business matter.
He has recently purchased one
hundred and forty acres of fine
land adjoining the property of
Whitesboro, N. J., and he was
taking with him a foreman and a
crew of men to put the farm in a
condition to be cultivated this
year. Mr.. Wick states that the
land is rich and loamy, and that
almost anything can be cultivated
upon it. 1t will be especially val

portion of this land is thickly
wooded, but will be cleared off il.
parts, SO as to improve and beauti-
fly it. Many houses will be built
this winter and spring, so that
next summer it will be an attrac-
tive place for seaside visitors. Mr..
Wick is one of the best known col
ored leaders in North Carolina
and is held in high esteem by the
white as we'll as the colored peo-
pie of his state. He is out of poll
tics but had a good word to say
for President Roosevelt, whom he
regards very highly and whom he
thinks will succeed himself as the
next President of the United
States. Mr.. Wick is a heavy tax
payer in his state, and the race
needs more men of his ilk.

devotion to the Union when it's very
existence hung in the balance, and
every traitor in the South was grasp
ing at its throat and heaping ma1edic-
tiOns and curses upon it. The South
may as well make up it's mind that
nently be disfranchised; that the
amendments were shot into the Con-
stitutiOn to remain there as long as
the nation endures; that the disfran-
will eventually be knocked higher
than Hamen when ne stepped on the
trap, because of the boast of their
trainers that they have been drawn
with the expressed intention of de-
frauding the Negro of his vote,
while at the same time appearing to
be in harmony with the Federal Con-
stitutiOn. In thus discovering the in
tent of this legislation the legal
sharks in the South reveal the vicious
and dishonest purposes of the white
South in seeking to accomplish by low
cunning and fraud that which they
know cannot be accomplished by fair
dealing and honest methods. 1t is no
credit to the lawmakers of the South
TO advertise themselves as shysters,
capable of descending to the con-
temptible and dishonest practice of
juggling with the law in order to
make it accommodate itself to the preju-
dices of the South, and to rob the Ne
gro of his just rights by legal hocus

ViVe the critical analysis of God-fear-
ing jurists-of honestmen S10Orn to do
justice between man and man. 1t is
sufficient to know that this legislation
according to the statements of those
who are responsible for it, has been
enacted into law with fraudulent and
dishonest Intentions; this fact ought
not to be difficult to establish. For
more than year the South, through
its spOkesmen who have been inter
ested in this matter, has let it be
known that its disfranchisement laws
would be SO carefully drGa0n that they
10Ould not conflict GOith the Federal
lGlCS, bat 1UOuId efectuGlly denUde the
Negro of citizenship. 1 submit that
any state law that takes away from
the Negro the franchise does conflict
with the XIVth andXVth Amend

abOrtiOns will knock the underpin-
ming away from all of these alleged
constitutional bulwarks erected to pro-
tect white men at the South who are
averse to mingling in. political alli-
ance with black men who fought for
the Union when white men were fight

that these southern constitutions will
not be worth three hurrahs in Jerusa-
lem before a full bench of supreme
court justices who know the law. The
South has the Negro and the nation

sooner than it expects, and then IL
will invent some new form of deviltry

position. The rank and file have a
right TO demand this, and they do
demand il. BY the use of the words
compromising disposition we do not
mean the abandonment of any party
principle, but there is a difference be-
tween a principle and a declaration.
All parties have declared thus and so
upon matters Of passing Importance
and will continue to do so, but that
fact creates no obligations binding
upon subsequent conventions unless
the subject declared upon is still vital.
And the question as to what is vital
must be left to the delegates elected
by the democratic voters throughout
the country. The party must abide
by their action.
That il will be wise and conserva-
tive and consistent with democratic
principles there can be no doubt.
