NOT LIKE DUBOIS.

DuBois and certain other dissatisfe'
members OF the negro race, has attract
ed much attention, but it has perhap.
mad no result of a substantial nature
Unless that result has been much
good advertisement for Washington
ana much revelation of the kindly reln,
lions subsisting between the races in
tile south
The latest issue of the charlotte
chronicle contains two further eva-
dences OF the pleasant sentiments en-
tertained by the two races TOWARD
each other, The first of these is
,etter from b. o'Kelly, a colored man,

"a member of the North Carolina
Legislature. oKeliy says in part:
TN your election feel
that the negroes OF the state nave oc-
easIon for sincere congratulauon.
While we, az a race have given our
support and allegiance 10 another
marty. the fact remains that when
men OF your stamp are put forward
we do feel that our best interest VIII
he promoted by their election. The
negroes of your county, or indeed
those of every part of the state VINO
Know YOU, speak of you in terms OF
The highest confidence
The Boston Transcript will do well
to note that statement that the ne
ssroes themselves feel that our best

election of Democrats TO places of au-
tiority In the South. The colored peo-

the race. Gie.i dong as good work
ON small scale as Booker Washing

These arc not sporadic Instances. IN
fact, cases Of he sort mentioned here
arc so common in the South that they
are only now and then seized upon
