FOR RACE HARMONY
ltc markable Meeting Of Whites and

SSSTUCN IN
WILMINGTON, N. c., March 22.-The
first mass-meeting Of whites and col
ored to promote harmony between the
races and encourage the upbuilding OF
the negroes to be useful citizens was
held here this afternoon. 1t was held
at the request of colored ministers, and
the meeting was pronounced big
success. Fully 1000 people, of whom
perhaps 800 were whites, crowded a
large church cdifice, and actually at
times cheered the utterances of differ
ent speakers. Mayot William r.
Springer presided over the meeting,
and the speakers were Bishop Robert
Strange. Rev. a. u. Mcclure. u. D.,
Hon. George Rount. and several coll
ored ministers of the city. The prin-
cipal speech was made by Bishop
Strange, who impressed upon the col
ored people the lesson OF being law
abiding and of being industrious. He
pointed out the faults of the whites in
regard to the negroes and the defi-
ciencies of the negroes relative to
themselves. He advocated conferences
during the year between white and
colored ministers and the appointment
of five citizens from each race to act
as an advisory board upon different
questions. The negroes, time and time
again. arose and cheered Bishop
Strange's utterances. The meeting was
especially marked by the attendance OF
the younger negroes.
