'I he first of these is published below. Mr. 1 lowell says Is the South still solid? If so, why so? and if not, why not? While the Republicans are engaged in arriving at an understanding of the Mtuation in the West and endeavoring to explain the threatening attitude of Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan and other States in that neighborhood which are flirting with the Democracy to such an extent that their affections may become fixed, let us take a look at the situation in the South and see whether or not there is any probability 1 emocratic losses here, enough to offset Republican disturbances elsewhere. 1 am asked by the Jferald to review, in several letters, the political situation in the South. Thus restricted, and in order to reach the subject at once, we will take it for granted that the t)emo rats will make heavy gains this year in the western States.

This is susceptible of the most convincing demonstration, but the public acceptance that such is the case, coupled with the fixedness of the question which I am to treat, justifies the statement of the condition without argument to prove it. KErVr.LICAX TALK. 1 lead to the situation in the South by way of the West because the claim in made that the Democracy is in greater dagger in the South than is the Republican party in the West. Republican leaders assert it, Republican lK-w paper- argue it, and Republican con, paign money is at work in' the South on the basis that it is true and in the hop that impending disaster elsewhere may possibly be met and overcome 1 the proper working of a field which has heretofore been barren of Republican results. The Republicans expect this year to nuke a civ-nge in the heretofore solid makeup o' the electoral vote of the )Uth, and they are moving to this end by two routes first, by direct appeal, to their own organization, where this course is advisable; and, second, by indirect support of the Third party in places where the Democrats can Lo more effectually injured by covert assistance of the home-made opponents than by overt and direct antagonism.

"Division, division'" is the Republican cry, and whether it comes through honorable appeal to party 'principle, or through mesalliance with every possible element of Democratic opposition, the result is equally satis-.) factory. A heterogeneous and motley combination of conflicting forces has thus been effected in many parts of the South, which is threatening to the! 1 democracy. i roin every quarter it is found that aimost without exception those who; luve opposed the organized Demo- cracy before are conspicuous in their advocacy of the new party' now. Many of the class known as independent Democrats, whose only excuse for not leaving the party entirely has been that there was nothing to go to but i the Republican party, fragrant in the South with the aroma of negro dicta-1 torship and association, have welcomed the new dispensation as an inviting! field for operation. OLD POLITICAL HACKS.

CEMEiM 1 iii severuiM the Republicans it would undoubtedly give the organized Democrats considerable trouble in several Southern States. Cut there is the rub with it. The very tendency of the Republicans to unite with it is an important obstacle in its way.

The complexion of the Republican party in the South is well known. There is an opaqueness about it as dense as the jungles of unexplored Africa. Without the negro the Republican party in the South is nothing. With the negro it is the most inveterate enemy of the peace of the section. Northerners know nothing about it unless they have been here, and those who are here are as firm and determined in their conviction on this subject as are the people of the South.

The white people of the South will never tolerate the elimination of the color line in the social relations of the races. They will cheerfully bear their burden ot taxation to educate the nenrn. mvine- ovef os per cent, of the colored school fund in Georgia; they will protect the negro in rights at the ballot and as a citizen; they will treat him kindly and merit his confidence as his friend, but to those who know nothing of the situation in the South, it is useless to argue that they will not submit to negro domination as long as white unity will prevent it, just as the people of the North would not do under similar circumstances. NkGRO DOMINATION. A division of the white vote means the balance of power in the hands of the negro, and this means the devil's own time wherever it exists.

A forcible illustration of the argument in point is in the tenth Georgia district to-day, where Watson is appealing to the negro to return him to the seat in Congress given him two years ago by the Democrats. Betraying the trust placed in his hands by the convention which nominated him, he returns as the leader of the new party in Georgia and bids defiance. The white and black vote of the district being almost equal, the negro becomes an important factor in the sesult. Watson stops at nothing short of absolute incendiarism to enlist him. Ever since his return from Washington he has been chasing the black vote all over the district, sprinkling salt on its tail whenever he gets within reach of it.

The negroes in some parts of the district are wild about him; they hail him as a divinity; they touch the hem of his garment and talk about it with intoxicated delight; they arc suddenly bold and defiant and point to him as their Messiah who will wipe away the color line. A few days ago he spoke in Sparta to the negroes and indulged in sQme of his most fanciful talk as to what he proposed to do for them. That night they assailed the house at which he stopped and literally overran it. The modest and refined matron, a Southern woman, expostulated at the intrusion, but was brushed from her own door by a burly negro, who exclaimed, "I come to see my Jesus Christ, and I will do it!" Watson afterward explained to her that his remarks co'ncerning political equality had been misunderstood by his hearers, and had been construed into an endorsement of social equality beyond his intention. I recite the above incident as one of many which disgust even the white men of the Third party, and which makes Republican affiliation a positive drawback to Happily there are hundreds of conservative negroes who have no sympathy with Watson and his methods and will not support him.

Hundreds of whites who would have done so have left him since he took the short cut ot appeal to race prejudice and passion which leads dangerously near the fireside of every man of peace in the district, white or black. i ABSURD CLAIMS. Now something about the Third I party its origin, its component parts, its claims and the probable outcome. In the first place it claims that of the Southern States it will carry North Caroliria and Alabama. It has been remarkably loud mouthed about Georgia until lately, but even its most enthusiastic shouters have given up all hope in this State except that of electing Watson, and their confidence in this is lessening daily.

It is doing great things on paper throughout the South and is making the most exagger ated claims of its progress from Virginia to Texas. It is electing goverr nors, Congressmen and legislatures galore. Put what will the returns show? Nothing! A Congressman may be picked up here and there and a handful 'of the faithful may be established as a brief minority in the several legislatures, but there will befno Governors, no Senators and no electoral votes. Not one! -The Third party in this section takes its origin and derives its chief support from the prevalent distressed condition of the farmers of the South. it is a lact not tutly realized among the people of the North, where money is plentiful and times better than they have been for years, that the farmers of the South are passing through an era of financial adversity such as they have cot experienced since the war.

A panic strikes Wall street and its disastrous effect is at once felt in every bank in the country, and is reflected through every channel of business. -ut if cotton is selling at 9 cents a pound the farmer of the South is protected and prosperous. Time was when panics cast gloom and despair over the whole country, and the far often change in the use styles of luxuries. Let the reader, call on the crowd to show their plugs in the next public assembly and nearly every one will be black. How can we expect others to use our jroods when we will not use them ourselves? 3rd, to the immense crop of cotton made last year in which lUHt-U mill 11 lllCllf 11 iUWlVlUICJ and hid." These statements can be tested and will prove true on examination.

Can the same be said of the statements and claims of the People's party orators when judgment is laid to the line and righteousness to the plummet?" T. T. Hicks. William H. Bo3'd, Deceased.

W. II. Boyd was born the 6th day of June, 1819, and died at his home in Vance county the 17th day of July, 1892 His father, Richard Boyd, was the son of Alexander Boyd, who it is said was the founder of the town of Boydton, Va. His mother was Panthea Burwell, daughter of Col. Lewis Burwell, of Virginia, and a descendant of Gov.

Spotswood, of the same State. His father and mother were Methodist, and their 10 children all of whom lived to manhood and womanhood, or nearly all were members of the same church. He was a member of the Methodist church, at Tabernacle, and served as a Steward for a number of years. He did not make much of a demonstration of his religion, but practiced and lived it every day: He was the last survivor of his family of brothers and sisters and we trust they are all again united in Heaven. W.

H. Boyd was married twice, his first being Susan Davis, daughter of John and Mary Davis, of Virginia. They lived happily together about six years, when the fell destroyer, consumption, claimed her and she was taken from him. There were no children by this marriage. He was married again in April, 1856, to Sallie V.

Daniel, daughter of Nathaniel and Ann Daniel, of Granville county, N. C. By this marriage there were thirteen children, ten of whom, with his devoted wife, survive to mourn their great loss. V. H.

Boyd was an extraordinary man in many respects. He spent the most of his life as a farmer; he had a robust frame and strong constitution, and labored with his own hands. He was devoted to his occupation and was one of the best farmers in the country. He continued to attend to his farming operations long after his affliction, which for the last few years of life was of the most painful nature. He was a great sufferer, but bore his suffering with Christian fortitude.

His hospitable home was the centre of attraction in his community for old and young. He enjoyed company and always met his friends with a bland smile and open hand. The stranger was never turned away, but always met an open and free hospitality. He was educated in the school of politeness and practiced it through life. He never sought office, but took a lively interest in the affairs of his country and the politics of the Government.

He was quick to decide between right and wrong, and what he conceived to be right, he had the boldness and courage to defend against any odds and yet he was as tender and sympathetic as a child. He was very kind to the poor and none were sent away empty when in his power to supply their wants. He would often sacrifice his own comfort to relieve the distressed. He was one of the most liberal of men, not only to his church, but any and all enterprises for the good of the community. He visited the sick and was an excellent nurse in the sick room.

Many of those now living can testify to the good deeds and favors received at his He was a member of the Montpelier Agricultural Club, which was organized in his neighborhood, and continued in operation some ten or twelve years, every member of which will join the writer (who was also a member) in this tribute to his memory. The writer was his intimate friend for nearly 50 years, and can truly say that W. H. Boyd was the most lovable man he ever knew. to his ashes.

A. Hicks, thousands of dollars which otherwise would have gone to the rapacious maw of the jute combine; it did practical work in the way of relief and encouragement; it established exchanges and warehouses and reduced the rate of insurance atid the p.r cent, of commissions. 1 All this was before the leaven of a new political party was at work in its councils, and just where this began is the first notch that marks the downfall of the alliance, which is rapidly go ing to pieces. The demand for political action, though specially inhibited in its con struction, soon became stronger than could be resisted. Alliance leaders who had experimented successfully in Kansas and other western States came South to picture in all the colors of the rainbow the blessings thatwould accrue from such an administration of the Government as they proposed.

The Democratic party was blamed for all the depression incident to the low price of cotton, and for everything else that Congress had or had not done to prevent it. In the West tgsc same lights of reform had attacked the Republican party for the same condition and they were successful in making enough Republicans agree with them to leave Senator In-galls at home. To conservative South ern Alliancemen it at once became apparent that if the Republicans were responsible for legislation adverse to the farmers as had been charged in the West, they were no less -so in the South. Those who stopped long enough to think at once tsaw that it was ridiculously unjust to hold the Democratic party responsible for any national legislation since the war, during which time it had not been in authority to pass any law, good or bad. Hence the majority of the alliancemen refused to go astray and remain today as good Democrats as ever.

But others were led off by appeals to ignorance and prejudice and genuine hope that the political millennium was at hand. CONSTANTLY DECREASING. Of its strength and possibilities it can be safely said that they are greater now than they will be later. It was more formidable a month ago than it is now, and more threatening two months ago than a month ago. Appeals to race prejudice and the effort to -buckle on to the Republican party are scattering and.

turning them to the common basis on which all the white people or the South must stand. It is like the sunflower whose smiling face greets the sun as it peeps over the horizon at day break and follows it on its journey over the heavens, nodding a last adieu as it sinks to rest. There are stragglers sometimes which do not respond to the law of nature which turns their faces sunward, and they mope and move and shrivel as if without hope and ashamed in their association with their beaming brothers. So it is in the South. The sun of white protection and white supremacy will keep every white face turned toward it and the stragglers will drift back in due time or shrink and shrivel into insignificant comparison.

The peals of laughter that rang out ou the silvery moonlit air, and pleasant voices wafted on by the gentle zephyrs, were to the passer by a sufficient proof of the merry throng gathered there, where, in years gone by, similar scenes were so often witnessed. After having disposed of kmost of the "good things," at the "wee hour of three," the happy crowd bade each other "farewell," with sad, yet sweet remembrance of the occasion: sad, because 'twas over, and they knew not the changes before they should meet in like manner again; sweet for it had been so pleasant, and too, thev had the full assurance of having experienced duty as a pleasure.

Can-nady being managing editor. The new publication warmly advocates the shelving of the white Republicans, and wants the negroes to take the management of the party in their own hands and to fill the offices in Granville county with negro men. It is very much in earnest, and from the sentiments expressed by the speakers at the convention in Oxford Saturday, it is solidly backed by the colored race. They have made up their minds to no longer take back seats in the Republican congregation they won't submit to being sold to the Third party, and they will do everything in their power to get control of the county. We give a few1 extracts from this new paper The colored Republicans of Granville county have a better chance now than ever to elect colored men to office.

Now is the time to show race pride if you possess it. Do not be blinded by false leaders, but let us earnestly contend for the nomination of honest, intelligent colorfd men when the Republican county convention meets. Let us have a State ticket at all hazard with some colored men on i. Colored Republicans, contend for your rights. Let us take advantage of the Democratic split and get what we never have had that is office.

If it is true that the white Republicans of North Carolina have Bold the negroes to the Thirdites, the latter have certainly lost their money. Now, if you don't believe it, Third party people, just wait till November and your party will certainly be found wanting. We quite often see white Republicans and Third partyites conversing on the streets. Guess the latter proposes to buy the negroes, and the former proposes to sell them; but we will meet them at the block, and don't you forget it. Oxford Day.
