Our neighbor town, Washington,
has just heid its second annual fair,
The editor spent a short while in the
grounds, Thursdy afternoon, and while

{not expecting to see very much, taking

into consideraticn that the enterprise
is yet in its infancy we were somewhat
surprised to find the fair as good as it
was,

The exhibits were not very large but
many of them were excellA&tt. One de-

relics, and contained bilis and postage
stamps of various denominations that
were in use during the war period;
portraits of several of the Generals,
that of Major General Bryan Grimes
being promiment among the..; uniforms,
flags and weapons used by the-soldiers;
trophies and souvenirs frum several bat-
tle fields, and also a number of relics of
she wars of 1812 and the Revoluticn.

Next to this was a depatmen, devot-
ed to antiques, This contained an in-
teresting display of old articles in
crockery, silver ware, jewelrv, wearing
appaiel, &c., that were owned by noted
families of Beautort county during the
last century and have been handed
down ~through each succeeding genera-
tion ard preserved until now. The
history of some of these articles could
be traced back through a hundred and
fifty years.

Only a few farm products were exhibit"
ed but tnese were verv fine, |

By far the most attractive exbibit at
the fair was made by Mr. Allen Warren
from Riverside Nurseries, of Greenville,
This display filled a large part of the
building and contained hundred, ot |
specimens of truite, vegotubles, flowers,
evergrcens, ornamental and fruit trees. |
It reff-cted great credit upon Riverside |

LETTER FROM © EX-GOVERNOR

The State Must not be Forgotten

area on a

Ex-Governor and ex-Senator
Jarvis writes the following letter
to the editor of Webster's ~Weekly,
of Reidsville, in amplification of
a former Jetter to that paper and
in roply to the strictures: upon
that letter: ;

When I addressed my former
communication to your paper
I only meant to express an
opinion and not to engage in &
controversy. Itis:still foreign to
my purpose to take any part in a
discussion with you or any other
friecd about what-may or may
not happen a year hence, so in
asking you to publish one more
letter and in commenting upon
your review of my former letter
Ide so for the purpose of em-
phasizing and amplifying the
position therein taken.

The mistaken point in your
review, as 1t seems to me, is that
you assume that be true, which
is impossible, to wit: the aban
donment by the Democracy of
North Carolina of the doctrines
laid down in the Chicago plat
form. The harmful part of it is
that it contains what may possi-
bly be taken as an admission
that we are goiug to do what
Butler charges us with having a

purpose to co, to wit : weakening}

_0n the great question set forth
at Chicago. There is no purpose
apywhere, of which I have any

knowledge, to abate one jot or

tittle of our faith in our advocacy
of these meastres. On the con-
trary, it isfrom this swong, im-
pregnable position, as | under
stand it, that it is proposed to
make tu fight tor the redemption
of the State, and it is upon this
high vantage ground that it is
proposed to invite the Pouplists:
who haye not enlisted under
BussellTs black banners, to join
us in protecting our asylums ard
cities and towns and homes from
the curses of bad Republican rule:

There is no occasion, 1 seems
fo me, to apprehend that the gold
Democrats of this State will
attempt to control the organiza-
tion of the party or mark out its
policies or indicate its line of
action. 1 am obliged to give
them credit for some sense. They
must know they are too few in
numbers to do either, and I very
much donot if they have eyer
thought of attempting it. I pre-

4, dict that the men chosen next

year to lead the Democratic
forces will be as true, as sincere
| and as loyal in. their deyotion to
ithe Chicago platform as you or I,

and still I assert that it 1s my

~belief that the dark and dirty

record of the last Legislature and
T of the Republican administration
- will be the issue uvon which the

great battle for the redemption
of the State will be fought.
There is hardly a week pacses
that we do not have some new

and startling evidence of the

ef

!

lementable condition of things
brought upon the State by the
Butler- Russell combine, and the

, | utter inability of the Republi can

party to give the State a decent
administration df its affairs. "

Now a word ~in ~roply"to what
you said about te campaign of
1894. Iquote frem your editorial
as follows: ~We need: hardly to
Aen pd Gorey 1.08 Jarvis that the
weak point-in-the campaign of
1994 was the failure ofthe party

But Lam act going to discuss the
campaign of 1804. Whether we
should agree or not as tu the
cause of our overwhelmg defeat
is vot material in settlirg our
apparent differences about the
campaign of 1896, There is this,
however, in reference to cam"
paign of 1894 about which we
cannot disagree and that is this:
the Democratic party was on the
defensive from start to fiaish. It
will be admitted, 1 presume, that
Lhave had some experience in
campaign work in North Cerolina.
With this long experience I as-
sert it was the first defensive
campaign in which [I was ever
engaged, and I ean insure you
I have no desire for another fight
of the kind. I prefer to lead or
fight in the ranks of the attackiag
column. It is more to my dking,
and I want to see the Democratic
party assume the aggressive 1D "98
and attack and expose to public
gaze the defensize record of the
Republican administration till it
is made, agit deserves to be, &
stench in the nostrils of every
decent man in the State, And,
by the way, i will dare make the
suggestion that our Democratic
papers ought to be at that work

can neyer be equitably adjusted
and fairly settled in the true
interests of the people till the
hungry pie-hunting crowd who
are now dragging down the most
sacrea jaterests of the State are
drniyen from power.

You may not have noticed as
closely as I have, because you
may not hawe kad the opportuni-
ties, but still it 18 a fact that must
impress itself upon you and
every othe thoughtful, observant
man, that there is under Keoub-
lican rule in this State, and
always has been, a terrible lower-
ing of the standard of public
virtue and public aspirations.
Why this is so 1 need not now
discuss. I simply state the fact
and with me it outweighs a mul-
titude of minor questions. which
gome of you brethren of the press
are making so prominent, and
about which our friends are uot
agreed. It has been the mission
of the Democratic party to lead
the people of our dear old State
up out of the mire and filth of
Republican misrule to a higher
and. better life. I have given
some of the best years of my life
tothis work, and I trust that I
may be spared to again 8�,�e it
fulfilling this migsicn. Could
anyching be more absurd than
that those who bear the banner
of thie party next year, as it goes
forth upon its great mission,
should go about the State dis~
cussing the Chicago platform,
when right in front of then, and
upon every side of them, staring
them fullin the face, stand the
evidences of a debauched public
service and the curse ot Russeil-

selt and Butler better. Will we
doit? 1 think not.

Pardon me for making one
more extract from your paper.
Yousay! oWe cannot see that
itis any worse to befriendly with

Populists in State affairs than to

now instead of wrangling with,
each other about questions which:

ism? Nothing could please Rus-

invite the aid of their organiza-
tion in a national election.� In
thie Tquite agree with you if we|
understand this question alike.
If it is meant that we shall, in the
campaign nextyear, ibe sincerely,
genuinely friendly with the Pop-
ulists, giving them substantial
asserances of-ocr desire to have

them go with usin the fight]

against Rueselism and for the
redemption of the State, then I
think you will find the party
endorsing that position ; but if it
is meant that-a reciprocity treaty
isto be negotiated with Butler
for the support of his organiza-
ticn, then I ~think the man who
undertakes that job will be able
to count his ~fcllewers upon his
fingers. There isa well defined
opinion among silyer men that
while Butler was writing and
speaking for silver in 1896, his
lieutenants, with Iris cknowledge
aod approval, were going from
county to county and ~from dis-

finally resulted in the ejection of
gold standard Republicans to
State and Federal offices. And
it may not be out of place to say
it in this connetion that there is
in Mr. ButlerTs life one character-
istic which has greatly distin-
cuished him ia this State, and to
which he has been loyal! and true,
aud that is capacity and fondness
for trading avd traficking ir
office for office, But take this
distinguished characteristic oat
of bis political life and the bal-
avee cf it 18 like the shifting
sands of the seashore, ever
changing. Unless i am greatly
mistaken, the aspiriug Vemocrat
who expects to win favor for
himself and success for his
party through an agreement with
Senator Butler will find his hopes
wither and decay.

Indulge me, my good friend, in
one or two more sugzesuions and
{ will not further tiansgress upon
your space Or the patience of
your readers.

Treckon I have as little per-'
sonal knowledge of the pluns
and purposes of Governor Rus-
geli and Senator butler as any
man in the State, for neither
uave spoken to me, that I can
now recall, in over a year. and J
venture the guess that no two
men in the State would give
more or go further to get up an
iesue for 1898 that would obscure
and rub out of sight the race
question and the dark record
they have made in legislation
and admimistration than thev
would. ~Their persistent but
fruitless effort to find or make
such an issue must have been
amusing to observant, thoughtful
men. Occasionally they seem for
a little time to have some slight
success, but as the iniquity of
their administration of public
affairs becomes better known, pa-
pers and people begin tocry out
for better government adminis-
tered by better men. In their
sight the man who pleads for
white supremacy and good gov-
ernment is unworthy of the con-
fidence or the attention of the
people, because they know full
well they can furnish neitder, put
only tet some Democrat suggest |
in spoech or letter that the battle
ought to be fought on other lines
and-they are ready at once to be-
come his publisher. patron and
enlogist: |

{ may not know anything of the}
sentiment of the people. It may
ve that I am writing about some-

but still 1 venture the opinion that
Russell and Butier will not be
allowed to escape the black rec~
ord which is now crowding itself
upon them, but that they will be
made to face itin the presence of
an indiguant aisappoin people
who will condemn it at the bailot
box. ~

Truly yours,

Where the Negro Loses.

The greatest drawback) to the
progress"moral, religious, eda-
cational and industrial"of the
Negro raceis politics. His worst
enemy is the Negro politician ;
his next worst is the Cancasian
who buys his vote with the prom-
ise of office. Ifthe negro would
keep out of politics, he covid
count on more friends and fewer
faise leaders. But there are
politicians of their own race and
of the white race who persist"in
truth with no less base a motive
than to rise to ofice"in encour-
aging the colored people to
aspire to political preferment.
Recently one of their organs was
demanding that a ~egro candi-
date for Governor be nominated.
It has long ceased to be a start-
ling thing to see them in Con-
gress, Legislatures, post offices
and clerical positions. Those
who get these placas gain a little
money; but what does the race
gain? It gains nething good
whatever ; it loses the friendship
of the very class of people who
would help it. But somehow the
Negro has gotten the idea that he
can be fitted up only one way,
namely, into office. Can they
expect the white people to de-
sire to educate them, if by their
education they shal! straightway
seek to be made rulers oyer their
benetactors; and to do this, shall

| yield themselves as instruments

into the hands of politicians of
the baser sort? The Negro
needs education, not office; re-
iigious elevation, not political
preferment ; moral enlightenment
not social equality; and _ the
sooner he recognizes this the
better. Any set of men, or com-
bination of men, white or black,
thatin a single instance offers
Negroes cflices in order to get
voles for themselves, are inimical
to tho interests of both races.
The black raca2s were not made
to rule; they neyer have ruled;
their history is a cipher except
in places and periods in which
they have come into contact with
the other races. Aud every time
they seek to ruie they drive away
those who would help them.
Men may talk about religion and
brotherhoca and all that; but if

the white peovle must educate a

the colored people at the expense
of making congressmen, lvgisla-
tors and postmasters of them,

then they may stay right where EF

and black, who want votes, and
care nothing for the Negro. or
anybody else, will flatter him
upon his political powers and fire
in him a false and covetous am-
bition for office, and say never a

ous and intellectual adyancement,

' The stumip of the tree to which
israel Putnam was once. tied in the
French and Indian war is still
standing in the little village of
Crown Point, a town in the upper
part of this state. It was in the
course of a skirmish near Wood
creek, at the time of the French in-
vasion in August, 1758, that he was.
captured by the Indians and tied to
this tree. While the flames were
searing his flesh he was saved by
Captain Molang, a French. oficer, | -"o"
who rushed through the crowd,
scattered the firebrands, cuffed and
upbraided the Indians and released
their victimT Putnam was taken to
Montreal and presently freed by ex-
change. A great many strangers
who go to the town and hear the
story chip off pieces of the stump as

relics. The tree is about 3 feet in
