FYupecielly in Certain the { Clored Elvment “Rules the Roast.” Phoenix, N. €., March 14, 1808 Eprror COURIER: It is some time since [ wrote vou last and I thought | would just drop you a line or two to. day to ot you know that we still exist. We have had one of the coldest winters known here for many years, the mer. eury going down to zero, and snow actually fell for two or three days in stocession and remained on the ground almost a week This was the first time we had seen the ground white since we ft Patton in "98 We are having beatiful weather now; mocking birds are singing, blue birds are going to housekeeping and peach trees are in full bloom and everything denotes the oomdng of spring Paes Apparently Malmo two It proved a very {sold my little farm at oir three weeks sgo poor investmant for me The man we bonght land of x & ver HRhy'- gk.” There 8 good land in this county bul we did not get it and were glad to unload at any prise. Mr. JH, Moore, who engineered the little colon. iting scheme, x still at Malmo, the last af the few who came down in 1896 but his departure i» only a question of tire, 12 is too bad that the northern and western people should fall into the hands of these sharks’ as we did, for alter losing their tine and their money they go back disgusted and prevent others from coming. What this part of the country mare white people, and there is an abundance of good land to be had here at very low prices. To the credit of the south, however, | want to say that the party we baaght of is neither a southerner or a native American, When 1 went to siitle with hum he tried to extort five tah “ ewln is dollars more from me for making me a deed, which | absolutely refosed to pay. Such men are like a hungry bus. sand perched in a tree top gloating aver the last agonies of a dying cow, and contemplating the pleasure he will have in feasting on the remains Well the old adage says, “Onoe bitten twice shy." | don't think I shall bite ARgRin on the same hook In my former letter | have said noth- ing of a political natare for two or reasons. First, becaose the COURIER is not a political paper and second, because my political views | the Board of Health asking the Borough | heing well known in Pation everybody absent on account would say | was prejudiced. But, Mr. Editor, the must obstinate partisan of apposite political views to mine would not need to live here two years to find out that conditions here are altogether different from those in the north. We Bad trouble nenr us last fail in Wilm. tagton | and I ithought of writing yoo then, but I knew anything [ would say would be misconstrued. While the bet- ber element of the white people deplore the results of the trouble there it in a fact that a white man was (he first to fall. Wilmington bad been sadly mis governed for years and as a result it is Just about 100 years behind the times With its splendid opportunities it should be a city of five times its present jopulation, but it was ruled by the negro element, assisted by unserupua- lous adventarers of a whiter skin, men who in a respectable northern com- muonity could not be elected to any vffice. Forbearance on the part of the respectable white element ceased to be # virtue, and a revolution in the polities of the city wan the result I know by the experience ot 25 years residence in the parth that the north- ern people do not anderstand the con- ditions of the political situations hers. This state has been far more lenient towards the negro than some other states and if isa fact that ap to the lage alection Were more negroes in offices in North Carolina than in ail the gther southern states combined, Livers I have had an excellent opportunity to stady the negro during the last few gaouths right where he ts the most “at Boe, I flod him a curious mixtare of piety and fraud, of philosophy and ignore. ance, of religion, and gross immorality He obeys the Scriptaral injunction, “Take no thoaght for the morrow,” and will sing “Praise the Lord" while he takes the last fowl from vour henroost ar the best ham out of your smoke house. There are exceptions, of course, among them, but they only serve to emphasize the rule.
