He was once r of North Carolina partly through the grace of the voters, and vet there is probably not a man in the who hates the nigger more than lie does.

In plain English, to get above his ordained station in life is. generally speaking to invite The situation of the the Si mill was never more mistakenly presented. Ex-Governor Russell is giving voice to his own and his attitude toward the is not that of the conservative white people of the state. There is not a deserving in any town or county in North Carolina who docs not meet with aid and encourage- from his white neighbors of the Democratic party. They lend him money and in other ways help to tide him along, and whenever tho newspapers hear of a colored man running a farm and making money, they brag on him and try to others to follow his example as did on a of Anson county. The truth is the more industrious and thrifty the is, the higher does he stand in the respect of the white people and the mere readily do they extend him the helping hand. The ex-Governor simply speaks from the standpoint of a nigger hater, and he is a man who hates with his whole soul whom he d. s hate Personally he is a most excellent man, but years ago ho took the wrong stand on political and sociological questions and a team of elephants could not pull him away

The libel suit the Raleigh News and Observer on trail at Greensboro was dismissed, the court ordering that a verdict of one penny damages be entered against the defendant That was a humane judge. He knew about the News and Observer's pile and did not want to deprive them entirely of Christmas spending money. The Henderson Gold Leaf, one of the best weekly papers in state, was years old with its last issue. It was founded by its present editor, Thad R.
