WHITES UNITE TO

North Carolina Now More Thor
oughly Organized Than She
Ever Was Before.
CLUBS ARE ON THE INCREASE
People in the Black Belt of the State
Determined That the Whites
Shall Rule.
By Frank Weldon.
Goldsboro. N. C., September 28.—(Spe
cial.)—Two white government union clubs
were organized here last night, one in each
of the two wards. These dubs are spring
ing up all through the black belt. The
country people are mote tiiioroughly or
ganized than those Who live in the towns
and citlee. but the cities are joining the
nr .vement.
The purpose of t'hese clubs is to rescue
the state from the domination of the ne
groes and the office-seeking w'hite fusion
ists. W ithin a few weeks the organization
Jias b.eetm- formidable. When I was in
lite state three w.eks ago the movement
•wa.s just getting started. Now there are
club:: everywhere in the eastern counties.
white button is the badge of member
ship. and the emblem now worn by thou
sands means a vote next November for
whin supremacy and decent government.
Tile meetings are open to the public.
Their ptocee<Ungs are not hidden. There
are no secrets or mysteries. Any quail
tied white voter who will promise to vote
the decent government ticket is eligible to
inemlcrship. 'fine leading men in the state

system of voting was provided for. Ac
cording to this provision, a resident of the
white ward could vote for four aidermen,
or he could cast four votes for one aider
men. three votes for one and one vote for
another, or two votes for two aidermen.
It was the same way in the negro ward. A
voter could cast five ballots if 'he wished,
for one candidate. So the democrats said
to the negroes: "We want live of the nine
aidermen. If you don't agree to it. we will
elect four in the white ward, and all the
democrats in your ward will cast five votes
apiece for one candidate in your ward. In
that way we can elect live out of the
nine.”
The negroes saw tlhat it was useless to
tight, ami they take four and let the dem
ocrats 'have five.
This was satisfactory to the blacks,
however, and a bill was Introduced in the
legislature of 1897 providing for a. commis
sion to govern the city. The bill named the
commission—five men, all republicans, not
one of whom could be elected to any office
here under laws which usually govern elec
tions in other places. The fuslonists had a
majority in the legislature, and they would
undoubtedly have passed the bill had it
not been for the t ght over th e railroad
lease, which sidetracked everything e.se.
That was all that saved Goldsboro, and
should the same gang control the next leg
islature, this < lty will have but little hope
of escaping the clutches of the negroes.
This is an instance of two attempts which
failed. Greenville. Wilmington and New
berne were turned over to the ignorant
mimTity ami are in their hands today.
A similar state of affairs would soon

kin c*mld get control of the state, which,

W'onder Hint the democrats are making a ;
fight for tlie restoration of white suprem
acy? This is why the white people on tlie
coast are appealing to the white populists
and white republicans of central and west
ern North Carolina to vote the white man s

legislature so that the laws which enable
the negroes to absolutely control may be
repealed and decent government may bo
restored.
Suggested To Colonel Wilkinson.
Colonel Jim Wilkinson, who is running
for congress in the eleventh Georgia dis
trict, stated in his Dublin speech last week i
that The Constitution had lied about the i
condition of affairs in this state. On th" |
contrary, the condition is worse than The
Constitution represented it to lie.
A prominent white lawyer here said today
that a negro magistrate threatened recently
to send him to jail for contempt of court.
The attorney replied that if the magis
trate attempted it, he would do so at his
peril.
"The court must protect itsedf,” said the
justice of the peace.
"The court can do that by respecting
itself,” answered the attorney, who went
cn with his case undisturbed.
A white man from the country dropped
dead in a store here not long ago. His grief
stricken widow upon learning that an in
quest would be held, begged the negro coro

replied that lie would attend to V.l.at, and
when he returned, lie had all negroes. No
consideration Is shown even in the hour
of sorest trial. The deml man was a popu
list and the coroner's action has been re
sented by many good people’s party men,
Neeertheloss, the m gro coroner, Lassiter,
will lie re-elected.
A white man named Halin was sent to an
insane asylum last week. He was taken to
an institution by a negro deputy sheriff be
cause there are no white deputies
Yet Milikin, Wilkinson ami their fusion
abettors say that fusion has nothing to
do with negro domination. Why not? Here
in New Bern Pile whites were in control
until they split ami some of them went off
an.l fuseil with tlie negroes. IJf*- is In.''lin
ing intolerable her.’ because of the condi

are waiting patiently for November Sth,
when they hope to end this in a quiet,
peaei-able way.
The white mothers, the innocent young
womanhood ami the children ar*' crying
to the nil'll of tlii'ir race in middle North
Carolina ami in the mountains to forget
party lines one time and come to their
res*'lie.
It is not for the democratic ticket or the

Th*' democratic party stands for whit-.'

SOME POPULISTS FOR LLOYD
In Order To Beat the Negro Who Op

Divided Between Fusionists.
Raleigh, N. C., September 30.— (Special.)
The republican and populist conference
committees have met and made a formal
contract for fusion on congressmen, the
terms of which are of peculiar interest.
They agreed to have as fusion candidates
the following populists: Harry Skinner,
first district: John E. Fowler, third dis
trict; J. J. Jenkins, fourth district: M.
H. Cold well, seventh district; and repub
licans, S. B. Adam.--, fifth district; R. Z.
Linney, eighth district, it was agreed that
in the second district, which is known
as the "black district," George H. White
shall bo the republican and James B.
Lloyd the populist nominee. The attitude
of but h parties toward Oliver H. Dock
ery. their nomine*' in the sixth district, is
odd. The republican chairman says both
parties nominated Dockery and that he is
a populist. Tim populists sav he is a re
publican. but yet a populist be ause he
puts ft silver above his pirty. 'i’ll*' r■■-

Tlie republicans and populists while in

for judges equally, (if th*' there are six.
To mak*' these equal th*' governor today
appointed \V. P. Bynum judge for tiie

The d* tnocrats ar* making the color line
tight hotter :ii..l *>*>tt*-r. Carl Dunean, the
republican leader in the entire eastern dis
trict. says that tlie democratic campaign
is now r* ally etided and that the repub
licans arc undoing what tlie democrats have
done On tin: other hand. It is said at
democratic headquarters that over 71'0
vihite government unions have been organ
ized and that ‘bo legislature is safe. Dun
can deciares that the democrats can’t elect
a judge or congressman or a majority in
either branch of the legislature, but this
is certainly ti very rosy view.
Th? campaign is by fur the must per
sonal ever held in the state.
Charles R. Thomas, democratic nominee
for congress in the third district, lias begun
his campaign.
liaco antagonism is so high that in this
county the republicans decided not to nom
inate a negro, though tlie tatter clamored
for it. The negro co'in* I of the Third
North Carolina regiment camo all the way
from Knoxville to work for the nomination
of at least one negro on the ti. ket, but was
completely overslaughed. The white re
publicans told the negroes that if they
nominated one of their race life result
would be the alienation of the populist
vote, which is an absolute necessity. Oli
ver Dockery, Jr., fusion nominee for .so
licitor, declared that each night in his
prayers he mc.de “a special prayer for the
populists, without whose aid the republican
party could not exist in North Carolina.”
J he eighth district democrats last night
nominated E. If. Lovell for congress on the
fifty-first ballot.
JONES ANNOUNCES FOR SENATE.
Prohibitionist Will Run the Race
Against Senator Tillman.
Columb a, S. C., September 26—(Special.)
Tomorrow morning Chairman A. C. Jones,
of the state prohibition executive commit
tee, will publish the following address to
the people of the state, announcing his
candidacy for the United States senate
against Senator Tillman, when the latter
has to stand for re-election:
“To the Prohibition Democrats of the
State—Believing that Senator Tillman Is
largely responsible for our defeat in the
late primary election; that lie is more re
sponsible than any other man in the state
fur the opening of Lite state dispensary
and the trouble ami bloodshed that has
been cause*! by forcing it upon the demo
crats of South (’arolina, I have decided to
ask the prohibition democrats of the stat ■
to indorse me as a candidate before the
democratic primary in 1900 for United
States senator to succeed Senator Tillman;
and if they do so, I will then discuss the
merits of the dispensary before the
people, and endeavor as a dem
ocrat who is deeply interested in the wel
fare of the people and the good name of
my state to convince them that the state
dispensary should be closed to th*’ sale of
whisky us a beverage ami that South Car
olina, as a state, should wash Iter hands
of this infamous business and the men
who inaugurated this corrupt political ma
chine within her borders. I favor a pro
hibition law for lit ■ whole state, but wotlhl
be willing, after the state had passed this
law, t*> exempt such counties by a two
thirds vote if the democrats of the coun
ty would ask to he permitted to si'll un
der county control, according to the provi
sion of the present stale constitution; pro
vided such count? wottl'l assume all the
expenses of the enl'ori'ement of the law
and the responsibility connected with its
sale after il was exempted front the state
law. It' tit*' prohibition democrats decide
that they think best to ind-n'se some other
d.-niocrat for the position. I will cheerfully
abide their decision and support loyally
whomsoever they indorse, 1- rom a bus.ness
standpoint, I coubl not afford to give up
mv present position for thtt of I’nited
States senator, am! I have no desire tor
political honors unless I can I y enjoying
them honor tit*' people who confer them
upon me. but there is no s t*• r’li that 1
could make for the good people ami ii-iin**
of mv stat'- that I would not willingly
make if called upon to do so.
