and need watching all the time.


One day when they feel strong they
will not hesitate to avow their true
sentiments and purposes, another day
when they feel weak and know that
public opinion has set strongly against
them, they straightway put up an
honest moral mouth, and to hear them
talk, one would think there were no
patriots in the land 80 pure as they.'
| Two years ago Mr.. Nein Mckay
told the negroes if they would vote
down the wealth and intelligence OF
the country and elect him, there would
henceforth be no parlor and no kitchen.
This year there is no man SO bitter In
his public denunciatiOn of the Civil
Rights bill as this same Mr.. Neill Nc
Kay. Yet, if Mr.. Mckay is to be
elected, where will the votes come
from? Is he the nominee of party
of white men or is he the nominee OF
a party nine tenths of whose votes are
negro votes? Was he nominated by
Convention that opposed Civil Rights
or by one whose delegates favored
Civil Rights and practiced Social
Equality


Everybody knows that the delegates
to the Fayetteville Convention that
nominated MIR. Neill Mckay, not only
refused to put themselves on record


against Civil Rights and mixed schools,


but that on the boat going from this


place to Fayetteville and returning, all


ate together ct the same table and at


the same hour without regard to race


or color. And this was both before


and after they nominated this same


Mr.. Neill Mckay who is now SO loud


mouthed in his denunciation of the


Civil Rights Bill.


In Randolph county within the


last few weeks there was public
gathering of the Radical klan, and


when dinner time CAME there not be-


ing room enough for all at one sitting,
the matter was compromised by feed


ing the party in squads Of twenty at a


time, and in order that there might be


no doubt upon the point of social


equality, each squad consisted of ten


whites and ten blacks


Those Randolph people belong to


the same party that Mr.. Neill Mckay


does, and yet Mr.. Neill Mckay de-
nounces the Civil Rights Bill Ac-


tions speak louder than words. Mr..


Neill Mckay is recognized as a full


brother in good standing by those So


cial equality people and there is moth


ing truer than that q man may be
known by the company he keeps.


Week before last at the Radical


Congressional Convention, held at


Yadkinville, to nominate candidate


for Congress against Hon. ". NJ.


Robbins, there was another demon


stration that the Radical party practi-


ces what it breaches, and breaches


what it practices. A correspondent of


the Winston Sentinel writing to that
paper says:


The first thing I saw that was strik.
ing was the Rowan delegation, half
white and half black, sitting together
5 III the gentlemen's hall in the hotel,
| smoking and discussing the features
of the civil rights bill This was the
evening before the Convention. /
next saw one white delegate and two
negroes preparing to go to bed, they
9 slept in the same room, there were
- three persons and two beds. 1 am
, not prepared to say how they paired
1 off, but next morning they were seen
dwelling together in sweet unity, and
0 | washing their faces out of the same
. bowl, and using the same towel. Ii
, you don't believe this, ask Dave
Bringle, the P. NJ, at Salisbury.
> And so it goes. And yet men have
the assurance to tell us there is no
danger of social equality, and that the
i negroes themselves do not desire it,
Il and would not permit it even if the
L whites would consent to it. White


people need not delude themselves
j with any such idea. The negro will
go to just places as he is permitted to
Il 60 to, and he will stay away from
other places only because he dares not
attempt to go to them, He will 60
: with white people whenever they allow
it and he will stay away from them
, only when he is afraid not to do so.
This principle and this alone settles
a the negro's theory and his practice
a about social equality.


The seed that Mr.. Neill Mckay
: sowed two years ago, when he talked
about no parlor and no kitchen, has


borne abundant fruit. We see it every


where around us. Mr.. Neill Mckay
deliberately sowed the wind and he
must not now grumble because he
is obliged to reap the whirlwind. We
told him then to i careful lest he
loose devil that he could not chain
up again. Two years ago he told the
negroes to rally to his support and
that with success there would be hence
forth no parlor and no kitchen. This


year they wait not for success, but in


sist that with success or without Sue


cess, there shall be ''no parlor and no
kitchen, dead unbroken level of


social equality, negro and white, white


and negro, all alike everywhere.


Mr.. Neill Mckay does indeed pre-


tend to disown the child of his own be-
getting, and to say that this is none of
his work, but who believes him !? Do
the negroes believe him ? Is there
single negro that will refuse to vote for
him because of his denunciation of the
Civil Rights Bill Not one, we ven-
ture to say. Mr.. Neill Mckay may
denounce the Civil Rights Bill as bit
terly as he pleases, and yet there is
not civil rights and social equality
negro in the district who would not
walk twenty miles on election day to
vote for him. He does not endanger
a single negro vote by the course he is
now DI1rsnino
