SPEAKS OUT IN MEETING.

Hon. Thos. Settle, one of the
most prominent republicans in
the state, has written o letter to
the Charlotte Observer reciting
reasons for his conclusion that the
republican party has no show in
North Carolina. He takes the
position that the republican party
has always been handicapped by
the actions of its leaders. "Ad-
mittedly great" continues Mr..
Settle, sis the evil of having our
conventions dominated by FEEDER
al-ofice-holders, is small and in
significant in comparison with the
evil of having them dominated by
negroes. The negro can partici-
pate in conventions If he is a
qualified voter and can get him
self elected as a delegate. To in
sist that he shall dominate the
situation when he is not a quail
fed voter, and not delegate, is
revolution, as well as maudlin
sentimentality."
It will be remembered that Mr.
Settle supported the Constitution
al Amendment IN 1900 and to this
good day stands four square fol
white supremacy. Is it any won
der he has felt called upon to give
vent to his feelings with reference
to present conditions in the repub
lican party Of North Carolina

and Federal ofice-holders, as in

The temperance forces are or
eanizinS in many counties for
the approaching contest for state
prohibition. 1t is well to be
fully prepared to meet the oppo-
sition squareIy upon every field
of action from Cherokee to Cur
rituck. A large majority at the
May election is very essential to
the permanent settlement of this
perplexine question. The oppo-
sition is on the alert and no effort
will be spared to prevent the
ratification of the prohibition bill.
But if all temperance advocates
interest themselves without de-
lay and do their full duty the re-
suit will be decisive. The bur
den of the campaign in rural com
munitieS rests largely with the
ministers, teachers and good wo'
men. Of course, every consist

and it is important to get all o.
these to deposit their ballots or

time to lose. Let the good worl
begin now.

Republicans realize that they
must have the negro vote to
stand a ghost of a chance to elect
their nominee for the presidency
and this accounts for the remark
able utterance upon the suffrage
question at the South in the Ohio
platform. If they succeed in
making good their promise to the
negroes it means another reign of
terror in Dixie Land. And when
the worst does come southern
white men will be found standing
shoulder to shoulder in opposing
a return of former conditions.
They would prefer no represent
alton at Washington at all to the
temperance of negroes at the
bollot box. In view of the open
threats against our people, re-
cited in Mr.. Taft's Ohio plat
form, it seems that the Oppor-
tune moment for southern whites
to get together has arrived. They
should begin now by supporting
the democracy as one man. 1t
is the only hope.

Looks like the democrats of
Minnesota are going to bring out
Governor Johnson as a candidate
for president whether or no.
Well, he is a good man, but the
indications now are that no EARTH
ly influence can prevent the nomi-
nation of William Jennings Bryan.

The republican primaries in Raj
eigh last week were dominated by
negroes, only two fellows having
white skins partici pated at one of
the meetings, both being Federal
ofice-holders. The chairman and
secretary were negroes and the
delegates to the county convention
received instructions to support
Adams for chairman and Taft for
president. So it appears that the
negroes and pie-eaters are about
to take charge of the radical Or
ganization in the state. Thus it
behooves the average white cit
izen to cooperate with the demo-
Gratis in their efforts to maintain
decent government in North Car
DINA and white supremacy
throuhout the South. This is a
white mans country.

Old Grave Near Filler.

In lonely spot the old Overland stage road
that leads from Keton, Utah, to Boise, few miles
north of where the present town of Filler is sit
uaed, John GRAF found a long neglected grave that
is somewhat shrouded in mystery, says the Twin
Falls Times. On the weather beaten head board,
carved deeply with a knife found the three link
emblem of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows
and the following inscription "H S. Webb, August
49, 49,, which shows that this grave has been there
for nearly Sc years and the suppostion is that Webb
was with emigrant train and was killed by the
Indians scattered all around the grave were found
number of broken arrow heads. The Odd Fellows
lodge of this city have taken the matter in hand and
have had number of photographs taken of the head
board, which they going to send to the leading
Odd Fellow papers throughout the eastern part of
the country hoping that thereby of the relatives
of the lonely sleeper be found and an explanation
given of his death A number of the Odd Fellows of
this city went down last Sunday to determine what
could be done with the remains.

Mining Camp I'm 1873.

A glimpse of mining camp life is afforded in the
following letter from a correspondent, printed in
the Boise Statesman June IA, 1878:
Warrens, l. r., June l. 1S73-One might suppose
from position, perched away in mountain fast
ness, inaccessible to man beast except at peril
of life or limb for about eight months of the year.
that would look down with sublime equanimity
upon the wars and rumors of war that reach us
from aboriginal regions But such is not wholly the
case. Even Our patriotism is aroused. Acting upon
the noble impulses that stir u.s. we have organized
ourselves into company of horse guards, numbering
upwards of hundred and twenty fit for duty,
if all could be found sober at The battalion
meets for drill week, and under the manipua-
tions of some who have actually fired gun or two
in active service, have made progress. We now need
some of those arms that the government has in
charge in which event we will be prepared to per-
form all those duties that Idaho expects of

ETC., by regular mail once week. in addition to
which many reports reach us by lncomers, by word
of mouth that would be very startling if true. But
whether foundationless or not do not propose to
be found unprepared. Those who argue most
strongly the peaceful side of the question: are that
the Nez Perces of this county will not hazard the
destruction of their large droves of horses and cat
tie out of mere sympathy for a remote tribe, nor
without good reasons personal to themselves. They
are said to possess of this sort of property in
the county than all their palefaced neighbors. Those
along Salmon river have always been upon as good
terms with the whites could reasonably be expect
ed. Probably they sympath1ze more or less with
the alleged grievances OF their brethren upon the
Wowa, and if forcible removal of the latter
band upon the reservation contemplated at the
present time, it scarcely be doubted that
majority of them would join Young Joseph
have yet to meet with anyone in this section who
advocates this step, considering the excited state
of feeling among the Indians generally until the
Modocs are exterminated When that desirable
suit is attained the Wowa troubles undoubtedly
be settled without difficulty There formerly existed
band of renegades along the south fork of Salmon
river and about the junction of the rivers composed
partly of Snakes, partly Bannocks, and the rest Nez
Perces. They were very formidable in point
of numbers, and except in one instance, | do not
know that they caused any damage either to miners
or settlers but they were always looked upon with
suspicion. They have now mostly disappeared.

the conditions surrounding the Mormon question at

murders and other ourages during the last ten years
that fresh instances no matter how revolving, have
ceased to create surprise 1t has to be expect
