DEMOCRATS ARMING Impending Baoe Gontict in the Old North State. PLAN 70 TERRORIZE COLORED VOTERS Prominent Politician in Neighbor- ing State Tenders Assistance. — es VIEWS OF GOV. RUSSELL Special From a Staff Correspondent. RALEIGH, N. C., October 31.—Ar- Tangements have been completed by the democratic managers to carry North Carolina for their party at the ensuing election, and leaders are doing things in a strange way in the old north state this year. For weeks past, as I am informed on authority whose correctness would not be questioned if the names of the parties were printed, guns and ammunition have been pouring into the state at such a rapid rate that it is said the stocks of most of the wholesale dealers in Baltimore, Phila- delphia and New York have been material- ly depleted. These weapons have, it ts said, been stored in convenient places for use if needed, and it is freely alleged that they will be found in the hands of the rougher element among the democrats the 8th of November, or perhaps a day or two sooner. It shculd not be understood that it is a part of a carefully devised plan to shoot down colored men who may try to exercise the right of voting on election day, but it may be stated witnout the fear of succcss- ful contradiction that the wholesale arming which has been arranged for is to intimi- date republicans, both white and black, and thus cause them to stay away from the poils on election day. There is no disguising the fact that in many places throughout the state the re- publicans are seriously worried over the outlook, for they know that no effort will be jeft untried in many of the larger places in eastern North Carolina, where the great majority of the colored voters live, to pro- voke them to acts of violence on election day. Even now it is difficult in some of the cities and towns to get white repub- licans to admit, except to each other, that they belong to that party or that they pro- pose to vote fer the republican nominees the Sth of next month. Ruflians at Work. As a matter of fact, the ruffianly ele- ment cf the democratic party has already endeavored in a number of instances to bring on a riot between the whites and the blacks. One of the most notable of these instances was related to me by an eminent judge, who'said he was personally aware that s related occurred in Bladen county. He sai “Shortly after court met for tne day a big democratic bully commenced to parade up and down the main street of the town, and as he walked he insulted every colored person, whether man or woman, No attention was paid to the rowdy for a long time, even utter he had, without the slightest provo- cation, knocked a colored woman into the gutter by striking her on the head with his fist. Finding that even this act did not pro- duce the result he was seeking—a fight— he went to a store, where he purch: a whip. Then, gathering a few spirits himself, he placed himself at their head and the party marched back and forth on the street, the bully slashing with the whip every colored man me up with. This was more than those assaulted could stand, nd a number of, them with some of their friends gave the Yowdles a severe beating.” The Governor Warned. Even Governor’ Russell has been warned that it will be wheafe' for him to attempt to vote at the election, and more than one public speaker has urged from the stump that the governor be assassinated, and thus remove the man who, some of the democrats ciaim, is the head and front of all their poilUcal troubles. In conversation yesterday with The Star correspondent, Governor Russell said that there is a perfect reign of terror in some parts ot North Caroiina, and. he feared would be trcuble, especially in Wil- mington, on election day if the colored repub- lis attempt to vote. When asked if, being aware that the state was powerless to give its people a fair election because of threats and the expected presence at the polls of armed men, he, as the chief magistrate, would call’ on President) McKinley for troops with which lo preserve order, Gov. Russell replied that he would not; that if he did so his motive would be misrepre- sented, and if anything serious grew out of the presence of the troops, that wouid ly exaggerated. he Star ¢ ondent arose to leave, r sai inced that the democrats in- the coming election, peace- annot do so “Lam cor tend to carry y if possible, but if they ay they will do it forcibly.” It is the opinion of many well-informed tion day to the cities and towns, but will also have squads of armed men at the smaller places in the country. Expert “Rough Rider.” Recentiy a democratic politician of na- tienal reputation, who is credited with be- ing an expert in rcugh riding in the man- agement of elections in another state and in securing victory for the democrats, here. Since his return home there been daily parades in some of the counties in South Carolina bordering on the north state of more than a hundred men in each of the several squads, whose avowed intention is to assist the democrats of North Carolina in carrying the election if their services shall be needed. Each of these interlopers is arrayed in a fiery red shirt and is known as a member of the red shirt brigade. In New Hanover county the democrats have gone so far as to rotify the republi- cans not to put up a ticket, and up to this time this insolent demand has been com- plied with. All through the state the order has been given by democrats who have col- ored men in their employ that if they vote the republican ticket they will forfeit their positions, and these threats have undoubt- edly had the influence of keeping many col- ored men from registering. As a matter of course the republican lead- ers have done and are doing all in their power to counteract the work of the demo- crats, and are telling the colored voters to go to the polls onelection day and vote, no matter if they do get a few knocks over the head. but it does‘not require a prophet to foretell that iftbnce the cufting and kick- ing begin, it will soon afford :n excuse for the man with a weapon to pit a ball into his antagonist. 3 Without Foundation. ‘To the unprejudiced:eutsider the hullaba- loo made by the!democrats ebout turning the state over to. “nigger” rule seems to be supremely ridiculgus. Apparently the whites and the blacks are on the most friendly terms with ‘each other, and in every place in the state visited by The Star correspondént the men of the two races acted as though they were on the same level. It is,certain the colored people are not trying to put themselv 2s on a social equality with the, whites, and {t is believed that the cry of “nigger” has teen raised to draw the votes of the white r2publicans to the support of the democratic party. It was seen some time ago thai the cry did not frighten white men, and then the shot gun and bulldozing policy was determined Wi ‘upon. ‘The democrats and their organs in North Carolina are doing a great amount of boasting about a democratic meeting held Friday last at Goldsboro, and recounts have been telegraphed to Washingtcn and papers in citles further north that 10,000 persons representing every part of North Carolina were present; that this great tody solemnly resolved that the state of North Carolina should not be turned over to nxgro rule. As a matter of fact there were present Jess than one-eighth of the namber stated in attendance, These, howeyer, passed a series of resolutions, one of wlich disclosed the intention of the democrats if they the legislature this fall, and \hich ts that “if the democrats carry the legislature they will pass such laws’ as will give the whites }control of local affairs in the vastern coun- ties.’ ‘This 4e-where the -great»majority the voters are colored. ‘The plain meantng of this, as interpreted by Governor Russell and other prominent men, and admitted by many leading dem crats, is that if they shall have enough ma- jority in the legislature to override the gov- ernor’s veto they will pass an election law modeled after that of Mississippi, and it is worthy of note that the Supreme Court of the United States has rendered a deci- sion sustaining its validity. The law de- bars all filiterate voters, and the Supreme Court held that as it applies to whites 2s well as blacks it is constitutional. Right of the States. A leading democrat, in speaking of the decision on the Mississippi law, sald: ‘This means that the state has the right to im- pose an educational restriction, among other qualifications, and the decision opens the way to an improved condition in the local government of many southern communities, for it will not only bring about the relief from a peculiar and unjust system of fran- culee but will prove an educational stimu- jant. “At every election held in the south since the war it has been the regular order for the intelligent vote to be killed by the vi- cious vote. The man of property and infl ence, who has a standing in his community, who has an interest in good local govern- ment and who drops tn the ballot of a safe and conservative citizen, has always done so with a consciousness that right along behind him may come a worthless loafer, a trifling, illiterate character, who cannot read the ballot in his hand, who is perhaps just out of the penitentiary or off the chain gang, yet whose vote annuls the one that went before. “The south has ¢ affairs so long t matter of comme durei Cils condition of it pas ceased to be a t apa has been accepted Protests ceased years found protesis were this decision of the Supreme hat there is relief ahead if desire to secure it in the way as a matter of fact ago, because it was vain. But “Peg Leg Willinms” Act. As will be inferred, the present position of the democratic managers seems to be that they want to get rid of the negro and his influence, but, strange as it may appear, there is a law on the statute books of North Carolina, passed by a democratic legisla- ture, which was almed to keep colored la- borers in the state. This law is known as the “Peg Leg Williams” act, amd its pas- sage was the outcome of a visit made to North Curolina in 1889 and "90 by a man named Williams (a one-legged man), who induced a large number of the negroes to go to states farther south, where a better- ment of their condition was promised. The democrats had control of the legislature which met during this “exodus,” as it was called, and among the first laws enacied Was one aimed directly at “Peg Leg Wil- liams,” and which declared that no one shculd cacry on the business of an emi- grant agent in the state without having iirst obtained a Hcense therefor from ue state treasurer; that the ierm “emigrant agent” meant any person engaged in hiring laborers in North Carolina to be employed beyond the limits of the same; that the fce tor a license should be one thousand doilars and should be good only in the county in which the egent operated; that a violation of the law would subject the offender, upon conviction, to a fine of not less than five hundred and not more than five thousand dollars, or imprisonment in the county jail not less than four months or in the state prison at hard labor not exce-ding two years | tor each and every offense, within tne dis- cretion of the court. A section of the act provided that the law should expecially ap- piy to what is generally understood wo be eastern North Carolina. And thus it ap- pears thet in 1891 the democrauc leaders invoked the majesty of the law to keep within the state something against whieh it row professes to view with horror. J.'T.H. — NSVILLE FARMERS’ Meeting Heid Saturday Evening at New Mirmingham Manor. Special C spondence of The Evening Star. HYATTSVILLE, Md., October 31, 1898. The Vansville Farmers’ Club of Prince Georg: county met Saturday evening at “New Birmingham Manor,” near Muir- kirk, the county residence of Mr. J. D. Cas sard. Those present were Messrs. Charl Vv. CLUB. H. Stanley, Luther Brashears, John Snow- | Lioyd | den, D. M. Nesbit, E. Dorsey, S. W. Beall, Dr. Richard Hill and J. D. Cassard. The guests were Director H. J.

J. Bennett, pection committee, composed of Beall and Snowden, reported eulo- gists on the hust’s model tarm. ‘The resignation of Col. W. S. Poweil as presi- dent of the club was accepted with ex- pressions of sincere regret. The question ef holding a farmers’ insti- tute in Upper Prince George's county was discussed, end the commictee having matter in charge was directed to expres the wish of tne club to the director of institutes Urat an institute be held at Lau vided it will not interfere with the reguiar itute authorized by law to be held in Prince Georg: Anne Arun- del, Howard and Montgomery counties. The club passed suitable resolutions of regret upon the reurement of Mr. KE. HL. Brinkley trom the experiment station and cerlned its interest taken in the work of Mr. Krinkley. This gentieman, as stated at the time, was ousted from his position as assistant agriculturist at the station on account of some uncomplimentary remark alleged to have been made by him concern- ing Gov. Lowndes. An elaborate repast was served, presided over by Mrs. Page and the Misses Mason and Jones. Upon reassembling, Mr. Luther Bro- shears, a charter member of the club, was eiected president of the organization, vice Powell, resigned. ‘The question of immi- gration was earnestly discussed, Prof. Wartield speaking at Some length in advo- cacy of general immigration, and Dr. Hill and Mr. Stanley speaking against the con- centration of a great number of | em:- grants in any particular section. These gentlemen thought the expenditure of the funds necessary to carry on immigration werk might be better spent on the improve- ment of the county roads. This view was general in the meeting. At a recent meeting of Key Stone Royal Arch Chapter No. 32, of Maryland, held in Masonic Temple, the following officers were elected: Excellent high priest, Dr. Chas. BE. Postley; excellent king, Millard F. Hobbs; excellent scribe, Harry B. Major; secretary and treasurer, Frederick A. Hol- den. The officers will be formally installed at the meeting of the Grand Chapter of the State of Maryland, to be held on Tues- day evening, the 8th proximo, in Balti- more. —— CONTINENTAL CARNIVAL.
