THE SUND0 NOW"
Correct Statement of the
Strike by Negro Brick
Masons.
Contractor Moore Says Seven White
Men Do One Third More Work
Per Day Than the Eight Ne.
groes Did Who Went Out
on a Strike.

To tY1 Editor:-In the issue OF
The News and Ob.tervcr of the 9th
instant, headed '"rhe Sun do Move,
giving a statement of the facts rela-
tive to the strike of the negro brick
layers, who were at work on the
Chemistry Building which is now be-
ing built at Chapel Hill will you please
allow me to say that said statement
is incorrect in nearly every particular.
IT, as the Rev. John Jasper claimed
that THE sun do move" SO also did
the negro bricklayerS move e, from
Chapel Hill to Durham and the white
man, against whom the kick was
made, is still here at work. Now Mr..
Editor, | will in justice to myself, give
true and correct statement of the
facts in the case and l hope as you
have published the incorrect, you
will publish this, a true statement,
and thereby place me in a proper
light before the readers of your popu-
lar paper.
First, Mr.. Editor l am white man
and at the time of the strike was a
member of the bricklayers' union l
had at the time of the strike eight
| instead of twelve negro bricklayerS,
one of whom did not nave his union
card, L called the attention of the
negro Steward to this fact, yet there
was nothing said about it for two
weeks at which time the negro, who
was under suspension went to Dur
ham and got his card, but the straw
that broke the camels back" was
when the white man came, after |
had written offering him job. also
telling him ne would have to join the
union, which he agreed to do at the
first opportunity; the negroes after
working two weeks with one of their
own color without a card, refused to
work one day with a white man with
out a card, and demanded that / stop

the white man or they would stop.
Now Mr.. Editor, it is true that
needed workmen, yet, l told the ne
groes that it was up to them to go or
stay and they left and / kept the
white man and l have no apologies to
make for doing as | did. Please al
low me to say, that the strikers have
sent an official from their lodge asking
me to take them back and give them
work, expressing a Willingness to
work with non-union men, which
positively refused to do, l am now
working seven white men and they
do one-third more and better work
in the day than the eight negroes who
went out on strike.

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a

arrangement of the female organism,

cannot be relieved without medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic,
but has peculiar uterine-to tonic effects

LIFE A LOTTERY.
Chanoo of Being Born With Health and
Good Ten1per

1OOo ernpcF.
Mexican Herald: far northern con-
temporary objects to the phrase, Life Is
a lottery" and goes on TO repeat the time
worn platitudes, that Life is an oppor-
tunity." a struggle" etc. But life may
be both an opportunity and battle and
yet have some of the features of a lottery.
In the first place. men and women arc
not responsible for their temperament
which makes or mars fortunes, and rem
ders life happy or the reverse. We think
as our temperament inclines us. and herd
does fate lay heavy hand upon US a
the very outset of existence. Then there
is the bare chance of being born into ~
well-to-do family with civilized instincts
and SO having the benefit of solicitous care
bestowed on ones health and education.
The child born into a cross-grained, IN
happy, perhaps struggling family is sur.
rounded by unfortunate influences.
There is the lottery chance OF drawing
a health prize. To be born with strong
constitution in addition to a genial and
care-free temperament is an immense ad-
vantage. To be born nervous, richety.
subject to fits of depression from child
hood is nothing less than calamity.
Many a man who has won fame. though
handicapped by an irritable disposition.
has confessed how hard was his struggle.
To make enemies more easily than friends
is the lot of many men and women
No human being can select his time for
entering the world; he may arrive JUST
when the lean years" begin. when par
ents are forced to deny themselves and
their children not merely luxuries, but
comforts. The child born of a care-worn
or anxious mother is marked for mood
ness during life. The child whose mother
is a superstitious. timorous person is
handicapped in world where courage
ana cheerfulness are the great success
compelling qualities.
All through life the lottery feature of
human conditions Is made manifest. Luck
may easily go past the careful honest and
industrious and throw it's prize into the
laps of fools. Life is very much lot.
