Reunion and Revival at Ephesus
Church.
To the Editor of The Robesonian:

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
On Saturday before the End
Sunday in August we had a reun-
ion at Ephesus church, near the
Robson and Cumberland line, on
the Rockfish& Aberdeen Railroad.
Perhaps 600 people were present
at the reunion and took part in a
great dinner. The exercises con-
sisted of songs, roll call and read
ing of the church covenant and
addresses by Rev. E. J. Harrell
and the pastor, Rev. ]. w. Cobb.
The meetings continued eight
days, in which l was assisted by
Rev. E. J. Harrell, of Lumber
Bridge, and / never saw a more
earnest worker and faithful
preacher. Great meetings were
witnessed every day. Twenty or
more came for prayer in three
different services. Thirty-fve
have been added to that church
already, and others will join else
where. The people of Robson
will rejoice, l am sure, that this
church, which was a mission
point until two years ago, is com.
ing to her own so grandly. The
Lord is good to US, whereof We
are glad.
Yours truly,
J. w. COBB.

REPUBLICANS AND THE NE
GRO QUESTION.
They Have Again Forced the
Negro Question-NOne but
Democratic Rule can Give
Good Government in the
South

Democratic Rule can Give
Good Government in the
South.
ByH L. Cook. Presidential Elector.
TO nine-tenth's of the South
ern voters the name of the Re-
publican party has always been
repellant, as it was born IN ha-
tired of the South as a result OF a
fanatical crusade against an in
stitution which existed in the
South, developing questions
which could not be settled except
by force of arms and followed by
a bloody war, and then by the
reconstruction era, when the
Bottom rail was on top" and
the best manhood and woman
hood of the South was degraded
and Inundated. And every time
the people of North Carolina
have so far forgotten the past as
to permit that party to get into
power, the same blighting eff
fects have followed, until the
last time the people arose in
their wrath and in one mighty
effort drove them from favor as
unworthy. The scandals and
corruption of that era are fresh
in the minds of our people.
1t has been demonstrated that
none but Democratic rule can
give us good government in the
South; the experiment has been
tried and this fact established
beyond any doubt.
The Republican national plat.
form declares for restoration OF
the rights of the negro to the
ballot, carrying out its policy Of
always attempting to humiliate
the South,-that is, the rea
South-the white people. 1t de
clares for the strict enforcement
of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth
and Fifteenth Amendments to thu
Constitution, and Mr.. Taft, il
his speech of acceptance, unre
Bervedly declares for the enforce
ment of these amendments il
letter and spirit, without reserv
alton.
Are the people of North Caro-
lima ready to repeal the constitu
tional amendment and have tn
negro returned to political power
with all the evil consequences t
follow? Yet this is what the Re
publican party declares must b
accomplished.
Its platform also declares fo
the reduction of the representa-
ton of the Southern States j
Congress, because, as is alleged
of the disfranchisement of tn
negro. We do not want a reduC
ton of our representation, bu
we would rather submit to ths
alternative than to again confror
the power of the ballot in tn
hands of the negro and the av
full consequences which follow
The only safe course is for til
South to continue to vote tn
Democratic ticket, State and nj
tional.
There is less excuse today fl
a patriotic, true son of the Sout
to vote the Republican tick
than ever before. It's hostilit
to the South in it's determinatiC
that the negro shall rule our pc
pie, is more pronounced thu
ever.
Regardless of all other issue
this one alone compels us
stand where we have stood sin
the warrior the protection
our homes through the gre
Democratic party.
