NEGRO NOTARIES PUBLIC ARE NEC-CESS ART FOR "WHITE MAN'S PARTY 99 DEMOCRATS. WARREN DEMS WANTED WILLIAMS, (COLORED.) Douglas Williams, a negro of Warren county, was appointed a Notary Public by Governor A. M. Scales, February 8, 1887. There is on record in that county, in Book 55, Page 348, a mortgage deed executed by W.

W. Long. The records show that the acknowledgement and PRIVY emamination of the wife of W. W. Long was taken before Douglas Williams as Notary Public.

Here is a copy from the official document North Carouna Warren county. Douglas Williams, do hereby certify that W. W. Long, and Sallie W. Long, his wife, personally appeared before me this day, and acknowledged the due execution of the annexed deed of mortgage, and the said Sallie W.

Long being by me PRIVATEI.Y EXAMINED, SEPARATE AND APART FROM HER SAID HUSBAND, touching her voluntary execution of the same, doth state that she signed the same freely and voluntarily, without fear or compulsion of her said husband, or any other person, and that she doth still voluntarily assent thereto. Witness my hand and seal, this 23d, day of January, 1891. Dougias Wiixiams, Votary Public. North Carolina Warren County. The foregoing certificate of Douglas Williams, a Notary Public of Warren county, is adjudged to be correct and sufficient.

Let the instrument, with the certificate, be registered. Witness my hand and seal, this 26th, day of January, 1891. W1Z.UAM A. White, Clerk Superior Court." As to the appointment of the Notary Public in Warren county, read the following Executive Department, Raueigh, N. Sept.

io," I hereby certify that Douglas Williams, of Littleton, Warren county, N. was appointed a Notary Public in and for said county by Hon. Alfred M. Scales, Governor of the State ofNorth Carolina, on the 8th day of February, 1SS7. I further certify that said Douglas Williams was reco-mended for appointment by W.

J. Hawkins and W. W. Long, as appears on record in this office. (Signed) Bayxus Cade, Private Secretary.

It will be seen from the above that W. W. Long, the Democratic member from Warren county, not only recommended Douglas Williams, a colored man for appointment as a Notary Public, but also directed him to take the acknowledgment of himself and wife to a mortgage, and as said Notary to take the' private examination of his (Long's) own wife to that instrument.

17, 1S97. Caucasian: 111 the "negro racket" campaign, which the Ransom machine has begun, our Democratic brethren in Wilson county find themselves very much handicapped by their own action. They are out of the band-wagon entirely, and the attitude in which they have placed themselves is a ridiculous one, to say the least, and it is all on account of being too previous. The trou ble is this: Before the fiat had gone forth from the Democratic machine that Bryan and the reform issues for which he fought should be relegated, to the rear, and that the State campaign must be fought on the race question, the Democrats of Wilson fued. Yes sir, they fused, but that is not all of the painful truth.

They fused with the Republicans! Think of it! Fused with the party that stands for negro domination and control of our State institutions But this is not all yet. They fused to put negroes in office. I would that the Democratic papers had relieved me of the painful duty of unolding this tale, which is indeed enough to harrow up the very soul of the monopoly organs and politicians, but as they have not, it must be told. It runs thusly: On the first Monday in June, the time provided by law for the election of a county board of education, J. T.

Sharp, Republican Senator from this district, in the interest of his Republican friends, made a fusion proposition to the Democratic Clerk of the Court, two Democrats, who claimed to be commissioners by virtue of appointment (who were not elected by the people), and the Republican Register ot Deeds, to co-operate and take charge of the schools of the county. The' Democrats, knowing that unless there was a fusion between them and the Republicans to control the schools, the management of the schools of Wilson would fall into the hands of the Populist county who were duly elected by the people, immediately acccepted the Republican proposition, (You know that as much as the Democrats are opposed to fusion between Republicans and Populists, they love to take a hand at it themselves when it promises them power). This "unholy" alliance of Democrats and Republicans at once proceeded to elect George W. Connor, Democrat, Nathan Bass, Democrat, and S. H.

Vick, Republican, and a negro to boot, as a Board of Education for the county, ignoring entirely the Populist Board of County Commissioners, who were elected by a large majority of the qualified voters of county, and who had appointed a Connty Board of Education composed of white men entirely. I hope this startling statement will not be too much of a strain upon our naturally credulous people of North Carolina. I confess I would not have believed it myself if I did not know it to be true. And if. they had only stopped at putting a (who, by the postmaster of Wilson under Harrison's administration, and who was Congressman White's man for the same Eosition this time, and who would ave gotten it if the Democratic incumbent had not been confirmed before the expiration of Cleveland's term,) on the Board of Education, it would not have been so bad; but they even went further and appointed at least one negrq school committeeman for each township in the county.

They have done this, too, in spite of their allegation that these nero school committeemen control the white schools of the different townships. i Mr. Editor, were I to follow my own inclination I would stop here, but the worst is yet to be told. The News and Observer heartily applauded the action of. the Democrats of Wilson county and said that they had acted right, which meant that they did right to put negroes on the County Board of Education when they had the opportunity of accepting a board composed entirely of white men, and men, every one of them, in whom there is no guile, and who are distinguished for a life-long devotion to right and an uncompromising condemnation and opposition to wrong; that they did right in placing at least one negro on the school committee in every township.

We think we remember to have seen somewhere in some Democratic papers that all this was wrong, but I guess my memory is either at fault or' the elastic conscience of Democrats will permit them to do anything that will suit their purposes, and it will still be right. You known they always do right. Yours A Bryan Popuust. PENDER COUNTY DEMS AT THE BAT AGAIN. The Board of Education of Pender county is composed of J.
