NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Some Interesting Bits OF the Political
History Of North Carolina.

(Almost every day we see in print
or hear statements to the effect that
North Carolina in November will "go
Republican. Frankly. we are inclined
to the belief that the Tar Heel State
may well be placed in the doubtful
column if we may judge Of corai-
tions as they are by many rumorS
OF the North Carolina situation. Bc
that as it may, the following article.
taken from the Charlotte Observer
Of Oct. IS, will prove very intcrcst-
ing reading to those who know Of
conditions in the past as we'll as to
those who merely know of the pres
cnt. The article was contributed to
the Observer by Col. J. j. Laughing
hOuSc.--lGd. COurier.)

was in session in Raleigh which re-
fused to adjourn in honor of Lee and
Jackson. but did adjourn in honor Of

result OF the fusion Of 1896 we had
900 negro Office .; ,:e:s III North
Carolina. After Il sho"' time. the Pom
ulists, realizing the IN stake they had
made. came back to the Democratic
party, with few notable executions.
This four.y ear period, from 1896 10
1900, almost equaloh the "Srs from
1867 to ,%IQ, and SO d ~usted did
the good people Of the 9 become
that they again pu' ~ Il. arrnor cf
battle and ousted the Repr ican par
ty from control, and placed the reins
Of government in the hands Of the
Democratic party. AS soon as a Leg
| islature was elected, having a Dem
ocratic majority, the constitutional
| amendment disfranchising the negro
was passed. and an act was passed by
the General Assembly, knowntas the
"Jim Grow" law, which required the
railroads to provide in North Caro-
| lima separate coaches for negroes and
white people. Not a single Republican
member Of either House voted for
either Of these.
With this record staring him in
the face, do you wonder that Parker
failed to allude to the past in his
speeches? | have never been able to
see how, in the face Of such record.
any self-respecting man can afford
to affiliate with the Republican party
in North Carolina. Tom Dixon, stated
most wonderfully true thing{in one
Of his lectures, namely, that 'tthe X.
K. *. had driven the carpet-Daggers
out Of the State, but the scalawag,
the native product, still remained to
feed OH corruption and breed,,death

The worst blow to the Republican
party that recall was when William
III. Taft was President Of the United
States. a vacancy for Federal Judge
ship occurred in the Eastern District
OF North Carolina. He had all those
supposed to have brains and charac-
ter enough to fill this positionS sum-
moned to Washington. and, after va
rious conferences, said, in effect, that
he was unable to find one Republican
in the district fit for the position.
Women!-you who will cast your
first ballot in NovSMber; young men
just arrived at the age Of maturity,
before casting your ballots, think Sc
riously Of the days from 1867 to
1865, and from 1896 to 1900, and if
you want to see good government
continue in North Carolina, align
yourself with the Democratic party
that has always stood for white SUI
premacy and clean government and
justice to the negro. IT, on the other
hand, you care to see North Carolina
revert to former conditions--very
likely to worse-vote the radical or
Republican ticket.

In the various newspapers we OC-
caSiOnally come across al article
written by some OverZealous and
hopeful member of the Republican
party to the effect that they would
carry some district in the State, or
some State in the South.
Vivid reCollections Of conditions
existing in North Carolina during the
years from 1867 to 1870, and from
1896 to 1900. can never be forgotten
by those Of us who were living and
taking part in the political questions
which confronted our people during
those the darkest days in the history
Of our State.
This writer cast his first ballot for
Democracy in 1868, and during all
the years since has been a close OBJ
server OF political conditions in
North Carolina. The Republican can
didate for Governor spoke in Green
vile n short time ago. and out of
curiosity | went to hear what he
might have to say. Naturally, he be-
ing a candidate for the highest Office
within the gift Of the people Of North
Carolina, | expected to hear him say
something Of the past record Of the
Republican party iii North Carolina
during the years they were in con-
troll. But he had, as other Republi-
can speakers have had. nothing to
say about this. Is it because he knew
the record is so bad that it cannot
bear the scrutiny Of any sclf-respect-
ing, Statc-loving citizen, and that il
recital Of it would have a tendency
TO drive away, rather than attract.
