Til K NEGRO IN POLITICS
f The interviews with leading demo
rats which we print in to day’s paper
,n reference to the elimination of the
jjegro from democratic primaries,
(hows an overwhelming sentiment in
Ivor of that policy, and we have no
loubt about the county executive com
nittee adopting it.
1 This sentiment is not confined to
hbis county, but is almost universal in
Ijhe Southern states. 1 n many of them
, .;he colored vote has not only been ex
cluded from participating in primaries
jut constitutional amendments have
jeen adopted which absolutely dis
’ranchise three-fourths of this class of
Voters.
j In North Carolina an amendment
was proposed by the last legislature
lenying the right to vote to all negroes
who cannot read the constitutitn of
be United States, and its ratification
it the next general election seems as
lured by an overwhelming majority.
l'hia amendment will not affect the
lliterate white vote, however, as it ex
pressly excepts from its operation de
fendants of those who were entitled
;o exercise the elective franchise prior
to 1867. Louisiana and Mississippi
have already adopted similar amend
ments, and the supreme conrt of the
United States has held that this pro
vision is not in conflict with theteder
il constitution,
A similar amendment should be sub
mitted to the people of Georgia by the
legislature, at its next session, and we
sincerely trust this will be done. Pub
lic sentiment is ripe for it, and if the
people are given an opportunity they
will rush It through with a whoop,
f This radical change in the sentiment
hf the people is due to the corruption
that has been brought about in recent
years, by the struggle of Undemocrat
ic and populist parties to control the
negro vote.
i The populist party inaugurated the
movement by allowing and inviting
negro delegates to sit with them in
their state and county conventions.
While the democrats always vehe
mently opposed placing themselves on
Such a social level with this element,
yet they went to work and managed,
in the end, to corral this vote on elec-
Wwn °*
The unfortunate division of the
white people, which was brought
shout by the birth of populism, clothed
the negro with an importance that
was new and captivating to him.
Armed with the Balance of power, he
was placed where he could dictate
terms to both parties, and he did not
hesitate to take advantage of condi
tions, by placing himself where he was
open to conviction by the proper ‘’ar
gument,” and it is no secret that every
‘argument” was a dollar, or fractional
part tberef.
» While this serious division between
the white people continued there was
no chance to religate the colored
brother to the rear where he properly
belongs, but now that populism has
spent its force the time has come for
the rectification of the serious mis
takes that have been committed in re
cent years.
On an issue like this there will be
practical unanimity among the whites,
regardless of former divisions. This
is a platform upon which we can all
unite, and those who, through preju
lice or selfish motives, stand aloof will
feel lonesome in their isolation.
Within the last ten days we have
ueard oyer fifty populists publicly de
clare their readiness to come back into
;be democratic party whenever it elim
nated the negro from its primaries,
ind among these were men who have
jeen prominent and influential in their
larty.
Recent occurrences, which have so
tlarmed the women in the rural sec
ions as to keep them in a state of con
stant fear and dread, have demonstra
ted to the white people the importance
)f coming together again. Public sen
iment has turned into that channel,
tnd no power on earth can divert it
i n its course. The time has come for
|til division and bitterness to cease,
f'l'he people realize it, and the politi
cians cannot prevent it.

MORGAN SAYS EXVANSION IB THE
BAI.VATION OK COTTON.
Chicago, September B.—A spe
cial to The Times-Herald from
Washington says:
Senator Morgan, of Alabama,
prophesies that expansion will be 1
the salvation of cotton, and is
about to start a crusade in the
south to spread the new gospel, i
In his prophetic vision he sees
Manila the great cotton market of
the world instead of Liverpool.
Instead of paying toll to British
brokers, spinners and ship owners,
he predicts the time is coming
when Americans in an American
city in the Pacific isles will handle
two-thirds of the cotton of the
world and save billions to the
cotton growers of America.
“Liverpool has built on Ameri
can cotton at the expense of Amer
ican growers, while Manchester
has thrived at the expense of
American spinners,” said Senator
Morgan. “Why should the Uni
ted States continue to enrich those
British cities ? Why should the
price of cotton growiug in Ala
bama and Texas be fixed by men
in Liverpool.
“Manila offers the key for es
cape from this commercial thral
dom. There at the very door of
Asia is an American city with a
splendid harbor, and the day is
coming when it will rob Liverpool
of much of its cotton trade. Cot
ton and cotton goods will be ship
ped west to the Pacific, carried to
Manila and distributed from that
port up and down the Asiatic
coast without paying toll to Liver
pool and Manchester. There is
not only the saving in transporta
tion to be considered, for the re
handling, iu effect, entails a num
ber of extra charges. Remember,
that Asia has two-thirds of the
consuming power of the world,
and you see the importance of
this trade and the promise held
out to Manila ”

THE NEGRO MUST GO!
No Longer Will He Be Tolerated In
Democratic Primaries.
Sentiment of Gwinnett Democracy Over
whelmingly Against Him.
TO test the sentiment of the people on the subject of eliminating
the negro from the democratic primary elections of Gwinnett
county, the editor of the News-Herald sought, expressions from rep
resentative democrats Tuesday. Of the 88 interviewed, only 8 ex
pressed themselves in favor of allowing the negro to remain. The
men interviewed were caught at random, as the editor came to them,
in the crowd that thronged the court house square, and the expres
sions, therefore, may be taken as an average of the sentiment that
prevails throughout the county. The men interviewed are represen
tative democrats of their neighborhoods, and are scattered in every
district iu the county. The question propounded was: “Do you
favor a white democratic primary?” Following are the answers:
J. O. Hawthorn —Put me down
for a white primary. I believe
Ben Smith’s district is unani
mously in favor of a white pri
mary.

subject.

the negro voting in democratic

mary.

macy.

voting iu our democratic prima
ries. Put me down as favoring a

M. C. Mewborn—For a strictly

J. R. Cain—l favor a white

John R. Mebaffey—l favor a

should vote, black or white; the
test being, “Are you a democrat
now, and Jo you expect to remain

“Dr. Moses Richardson—The ne
gro should not only be eliminated
from our democratic primaries,
but, in my opinion, should be dis
franchised by constitutional en
actment. Certainly he has no
place in Democratic primaries.
F. M. Buchanan —White prima
ries are demanded by the people,
and the sentiment should prevail.
Put me down for a white primary,
G. L. Johnson—l am for a white
Democratic primary, allowing
every white man to vote who will
pledge his honor to support the
nominees. This, in my opinion,
will lead back hundreds of popu
lists into the Democratic fold.
Hon. C. H. Brand, Chairman
Executive Committee —I have been
in favor of a white primary ever
since our last primary, and shall
use my influence as a member of
the democratic committee to make
this rule the law of the party in
future primaries.
R. W. Peeples—l am very de
cidedly iu favor of a white pri
mary, and would be very much
pleased to see the Democratic Ex
ecutive committee adopt such a
rule for our future primaries. It
will guarantee an overwhelming
democratic victory in our elec
tions.
Caleb Pool—For a white prinia
ry.
J. A. Perry—l am for a white

Maj. J. T. McElvany—This is a
white man’s government, ruled by
white men, and negroes have no
right to participate iu the councils
of the democratic party, which is,
or should be, a white man’s party.
C. J. Kilgore—l endorse the
sentiments of Maj. McElvany.
Put me down for a white primary.
BUFORD,
Special to THE NEWS.
Most of our sick are convales
cing.
A lot of our people are attend
ing court this week.
Several new dwelling houses
have been built here recently.
R. H. Allen is quite sick this
week. Everyone who knows Mr.
Allen wishes for his speedy recov
ery.
lluf'iid ooKool opened up lion*
day morning with a fair attend
ance. There is some dissatisfac
tion over the way the school is to
be run, caused mostly by the peo
ple not understanding the rules of
the new management.
Prof. Wright, the new Principal
of the Buford school, comes high
ly recommended, and it is hoped
that the people will send their
children, and make the school
what it ought to be—the best
school in Gwinnett county.
There haH been three deaths in
our city itvthe last week. Mark
Burton, sou of Mr, and Mrs. Cicero
Burton, aged thirteen years. Mrs.
Prater, wife of Mr. Seth Prater,
aged about seventy; and William
Brady aged about twenty-five.
Protracted meeting is in progress
this week at the Baptist church.
The services are conducted by the
pastor. Rev. T*T. Twitty, who is
ably assisted by Rev. Frank Jack
son, of Winder. With these two
good men ct the helm it is hoped
that great good will result from
this meeting.
To the credit of all concerned it
can be said that very near all, if
not all, of the public roads of Su
gar Hill district have been wed
worked in the last ten days. It
can be safely said' that the roads
are now in better condition than
they have been for several years.
And it is to be hoped that the
County Commissioners and over
seers will get out of the idea of
just working roads twice a year,
and get into the practice of work
ing whenever the road needs it.
Four-fifths of our people favor
working the roads by taxation,
anyhow. Why cai.’t we nave that
kind of a law ?
The people in other sections of
the county can’t imagine the in
convenience it is to our people
here in Buford to attend court in
Lawreuceville. Sugar Hill district
has a population of not less than
three thousand people, and the
fartherest part of the district is 20
miles from the court bouse —20 sol
id miles of hills and hollows, that
takes an ordinary team five hours
to travel. There is the reasonable
man who will say we ought not to
have a new county ? Another
consideration is that two-thirds of
the criminals of this corner of the
county go unpunished on account
of the g:eat inconvenience in
reaching the county court house.
It is to be hoped that our fellow
citizens of other sections of the
county will extend us their sympa
thy, and when the time comes not
oppose us iti our efforts to get a
new county.
