DEAR Gazs'i'rii: —A week's sojourn in
this quaint and southern town has fur-
nished items of historical interest enough
to fillabook. This is the “Verdenton”
of Judge Teurgee’s political novel, “A
Fool’s Errand.” Our genial Landlord.
Benbow yesterday drove us out past the
spot where the judge and his wife taught
the negro school, and the old darkey'sV but
’way across the fields where the pair were
secreted, housed and fed by the aforesaid
old darkey, when their lives were in
jeopardy by the Ku Klux. A few miles
from town is his “Warrington” estate for
which he negotiated and essayed to cut
up into ten acre tows for his colored
friends. It was an old tree nursery plan-
tation, and like everything else in nature
hercabonls has run to seed, but possesses
many charms of situation and scenery.
But all his efforts to aid the condition of
the freedmen tended only to excite the
hostility of the native Bourbon, and made
their situation worse than ever and put
his own life in jeopardy. During the mili-
tary governorship of General Canby, and
“when the colored vote was counted,” as
our informant very considerately stated,
Mr. Tourgee was elected a judge of the
Greensboro, district court, and proved
himself an able and impartial jurist. But
on the the advent of the old-tichonrbons
or rebels to power he was deposed. _ The
Ku Klux raided this section, committing
- the most atrocious crimes and murders
without let or hindrance from any one.
This is what led the judge to the conclu-
sion that in his efiort to find a mild and
genial climate for his. weak lungs, and at
the same time do something towards ele-
vating the outraged and down-trodden
freedinen, he had entered upon “A Fool’s
Errand.” '

This remarkable book, which was so
roundly berated by democrats at the
north, lt’ is surprising to be assured by old
residents here, is a literal and truthful
recital of events that transpired here in
Greensboro and in its vicinity. At our
table at the Benbow we are waited on by
a bright and sprightly colored boy who' is
the son of “old Wyatt Altlaw," who Was

 

 

the “Uncle Jerry Hunt,” of the Fool’si

Errand, the old negro preacher the Kn
Klnx hung and left swinging from the
tree. He was hung to a sapling for the
crime of being a preacher and a republi-
can within forty rods of the ecurt house
at Graham, and hundreds of people still
living hereabonts saw the body swinging
from the limb, as his terrified relatives and
friends didn’t dare to cut him down.

“John Walters" of the book, another man
murdered by the Ku Klux, was John
Walters Stevens. He was a native North
Carolinian, had been; elected a republican
member- of. the state legislature, and was
bold and fearless' in his denunciation of
the Bourbon crimes. He was caught in
the court house, literally as described in
book, and his throat cut, his head held
over a pail to catch the blood, and his
body thrust into a wood box where it was
found. At our hotel is frequently to be
met ‘Judze Denton," whose “removal”
was decreed by the Ku Klux because he
denounced their outrages. He' is anative,
‘1 lawyer, and at the present time presides
iver the .U. S. District Court of Florida.

He' is passing his vacation here at his old
home,- and his real name is Judge Thomas
Settle.
Sarmer near here. A He was the good
neighbor of the “fool,” and an outspoken,
resolute-North Carolinian who still loves
to drive into “Verdenton” and talk over
the old :times and old crimes. “Ralph
Kirkwood" is a native; and he’it was who
got demoralized and made a full confes-
sion of his participation in the hanging of

the old preacher, “Jerry Hunt,” and fur-~

nished the. list of names all his associates
in that ,wicked't'ragedy. .He is said to he
at present employed in a cotton mill- at
Providence, R. I. His real name is Joe.
W. Stocker. \

“ Colonel Boyd, ” another native. sat on
the porch of our hotel as earnest and jolly
as any one of the crowd the first few
evenings after our arrival, but he is now
quite ill with malarial chills and fever,
much of which is afflicting the people
here. Boyd is the “John Burlcson” of the
book. He exposed the secret work of the
Ku Klux and roundly [denounced their

infamous crimes, and everyone marvels~
that he was not put to death. President

Hayes made him U. S. District Attorney,
and he held his place’until the advent of
“Cleveland reform.” When Boyd was
asked if he did not deem it a pity that
sectional difiicnlties could not have been
settled at the first by a compromise, he
bluntly responded, ‘V‘No, nothing could
ever have satisfied and settled the s nth
but a blanked good licking and we got it,

and now there is some hopes of recon-
ciliation in the future.” The colonel says
there is no vestige of the murderous order
now in existence in this' state, and that
there is now a' feeling of revulsion and
horror felt by white people generally ovar
its cnormities, and since the democrats
got control of the legislature amnesty acts
were passed, so that I with others have
come to the conclusion that it is better to
lot this feature of the war pass into forget-
fulness as soon as possible. Of course no
one was ever punished for the horrible
crimes committed. The colonel is confi-
dent that a majority of the white voters
of this state are at heart republicans, and
that North Carolina is certainly a protec-
tionist state.

Riding past a field yesterday three men
and a negro woman were diligently hoeiug
the crop.. We asked what vvages these
people get, and learned that sixty cents a
day or $10 a month were the ruling prices.
“That woman," said our informant, “does
as much or more field work than the men
and I pay her the same. She prefers field
work to indoor service, mainly because
she can earn so much better wages.” We
learned that on $10 per month there are
many negro laborers who support them-
selves and. families, and yet lay; aside
money enough in the" course of three or
four years to'purehase a' few aces of land
and erect a cabin, while their nativewhito
brother works Only as forced to‘do so, and
ckes out a miserable living ou'tlic meagre
rental of. some part of his ancestors’ plan-
tution, leased to the more thrifty freed-
men.

Recently the Knights of Labor have
been perfecting organizations throughout
these southern towns and cities, and it is
said to be astonishing to see how readily

the white and black workmen ‘V‘pool their
issues” and make a common price for like
work. Our landlord' is a large employer
of hands, having several farms to work as
well as the conduct of his hotel. _He says
the colored man, as a rule, is a more faith-
ful and profitable hand than any white

man he can employ tVVo‘do the same kind .

of work.

One of the most 7.113773 incidents or
local life here to no on b‘eyes is to see
every pleasant a “07.9,“. bevies of the
“jedges,” "gene 5;". 7‘fcolonel's’7’ and

“squires” come b“ ping ”down the main
street, and when 0th of; our hotel see
one and all “squ ’.’ down on' the dirty

William R. Albright is now a'

and there sit by the hour and squirt tc- .
bacco juice and discuss the affairs of
state with a seriousness and sense of per-
sonal responsibility that would put to
blush any member of the “reform” cabinet
of President Cleveland. These self inr-
portant and venerable gentlemen stand
h'ere in about the some popular estimation
as such citizens as W. S. Moody, D. P.
Ely, H. M. Prowitt, Charles F. Osborne
and the like would in our own community
at home, and one can conjecture what an
impression it would create should they
seat themselves thus upon the street steps
and curb stones to discuss national issues
as these best citizens do here.

There' is a ”large number of earnest and
active republicans hero, but they are hope-
less of any show at the ballot box. They
are patiently waiting for “something to
turn up." There is “far from a solid
unity in the democratic ranks,” but it
seems useless to hope any considerable
number will secede from thc‘Vold Bourbon
ranks so long as ;the patronage of the
national administration is in their hands.
Quite a strong impetus has been recent-
ly given the prohibition party, and many
good men from both the old parties have
joined it. They will put a congressional
candidat‘c' in the field this fall in this dis-
trict, but with very little chance of7 elect-
ing their man- It will not, howe'yer, as
at the north, serve to injure the party that
has always stood for temperance legisla-
tion, and help the party of free license.
Stephen A. Douglass, ~AJr.V,7 son of the
“Little Glant,",’ is a resident here.

This is quite a large railroad centre.
_Its principal articles of export are tobacco
7, and lumber. Much of the latter goes
abroad via Norfolk, and large quantities
of a tough and very white and clear
hickory goes to New Haven for fine car.
riage work. Land varies from $5 to $100
.per acre, according to quality and near-
ncss to the town. The highways are exe-
crable, the houses in the main comfort-
able, some homes quite attractive,'morc by '-
reason of ancient trees on their lawns than
by reason of any beauties of architecture.
There is a large negro normal or high
school, presided over by an experienced
and thoroughly equipped Massachusetts
principal. The M. E. church south has a
large female seminary here, which is well
susthincd. The “Benbow House" is a
temperance hostelery, and the best tavern
we havc ever struck in all the south. It
glves us fresh eggs, poultry, cream, milk,
butter and butter milk with unlimited
melons and garden vegetables from its
own farms adjacent. Water-melons and
sweet potatoes nrcthe meat and drink of
many of the native whites, as well _as the
joy of the freedmcu. A country “schoon-

with watermelons halted in front of l'th'e
house yesterday, and a rush of whites and
blacks was made to the tail board. They
were retailed at five and ten cents, and
the music of their breaking on the wagon
tires and the heap of 'rinds :barracading
the vehicle would have eclipsed a Mary.
land colored camp meeting ground. One
elderly white lady sat down flat' in the
gutter and, with the aid of a stick, ex-
humed the red and luscious interior, while
little colored urchins stood about eagerly
jumping for any piece of rind thrown out.
A mule is worth: more than a7 horse here.
Pretty ponies are quite common and sell
from $25 to $75 each. oxen and stage
are used' in carts singly as well as double,
and all seem to be broken- to the bit the
same as the horse and mule. There is a
large wagon wheel and spoke mill, and
numberless tobacco factories here, but the
same general air of inertia and shiftless-
ness prevails here that is so universally
witnessed’ in southern towns. Newgener-
atioris of men and women must grow up
before this can be radically“ changed.
Meeting a friendly looking countryman
and farmer with .an extra fine pair of
males we asked him what was the reason
his people didn’t brisk up a little more
and raise better crops? “Why,” said he,
,“there’s nothing the matter with we uns,
except that we are so' Vd—d’ lazy! I
won’t work, and there won’t any of us
work only just as little as we’re‘compelled
to. We aru’t like you uns Yankees, work
just for the fun of it. " That is about the
exact diagnosis of the situation at Tourgee’ s
“Verdcnton. ” .

Contemporaries on Elaine’s Speech.
Mr. Blaine’sspeech yesterday was good
enough for 11 President’s message. That,
however will come along in 1889.

7 More than any official message, more
than any action by Congress or Legisla-
ture, the speech at Sebago Lakewill direct
the current of political discussion and the
attitude of parties.

His speech will be read with the liveliest
interest not only because his welLdeserved
fame as a public speaker begets high expec-
tations, which are never disappointed, but
because more than any other man he is
the chief and spokesman of the Republi-
can party, and presents with something
akin to authority its 7 convictions and ma-
tured judgement.

Behind his words lies the power of an
intelligent and consolidated, public opin-
. ion. He speaks not for James G. Blaine
only, but for more of the citizens of Amer.
ica than any other man can.

The difference which exists between the-
Republican and Democratic parties in re-
spect to promoting industrial interests was
effectively set forth and emphasized by
the citation of facts. 7

.Mr. Blainc‘s vigorous arraignment [of
the State Department] is one from which
there is no escape.

His first speech in the Maine canvass is
so temperate, so full of words of wisdom
and pervaded by such broad statésman-
-ship that it will fit any and every-section
of the country.‘ -

Mr. Blaine’s opening spiceeh 1n the Maine
campaign, delivered at Sebago Litke,’ is a
calm, vigorous and trenchant statement of
Republican principles as applied to current

issues.-

A woman who horscwhips folks went
into the Bridgeport News Office Wednesday
,night for the purpose of of castigating the
editor who reported her latest horscwhip-
pingracket. Shesaid if she could find him
she would break him all np'and throw
the pieces out of the window. 7 As that
sprightly sheet has been coming out regu-
larly ever since with its loud “scare"Ihead—
lines as lurid as ever, we infer that she
didn’t find him She should have looked
into that big safe.

The ,Winsted Herald suggests that edi-

tors might enjoy a vacation and still keep
their subscribers happy by “exchanging,”
jminister fashion, or a league of editors
supplying one anather’s' submribers with
papers during their respective vacations.
This reminds the Canaan News of the old
sexton in East Canaan, who murmured
that he could get no vacation,- while his
minister exchanged with whosoever he
would, whereupon awag suggested to him
that he m'ght “exchange with the Norfolk
bell ringer.”

Your editorial snperaddition to my par-
agraph last week cancerning the late pros-
,ecutions is accepted, and the implication
that no good has been accomplished 1am
in no position to dispute. You evidently
know. How you know is not for me to
know. I observe, by the» way, that other
prosecutions of wicked women have been
made. Good! The good work should go
on, as it bids fair to do until our beautiful
town shall be pointed out throughout the
length and breadth of the land as a Uto-

The opening ‘of the Opera Heuse “sea-
son"11aturally suggests the fact that the
winter season is almost upon us. And the
questions may pertinently_ ‘bc asked, what
are we going to do during the long winter
evenings? how are we to tut-n them to
our mutual profit? Wewill have. without
doubt, the usual quota of dances, operas,
candy pulls, kissing bees, card parties,
etc. All harmlessand enjoyable. But
when considered in their bearings upon
the question of profit and progress, what
is their influence? Negative,..at best.
Dancing may develop the calves, but it
breeds coma, and the exercise of the heels
doesn't develop the paramomitqnalities of
the head. Let us dance, and dance often.
But while we are resting our heels let us
give our heads a show. Organize literary
societies and enjoy the wondrous beauties.
of Shakespere, Burns and Tennyson; or-
ganize traveling clubs, and at home
explore Africa, climb the Alps and visit
Holy lands; organize debating societies
and discuss current topics and absorbing
questions of politics, morals. nature and
the arts, and above all, the overshadow-
,ing problem of human happiness and how
best the condition of mankind can be im-
proved, human woes softened and human
joys intensified. Such employment for
the main wall of winter recreation, with
the other light pastimes for filling the
chinks, will speed the “cheerless” season
7 by on fleet and noiseless wings, and leave
us on the threshold of the budding spring-
time happy in the consciousness of pleas-
ure experienced and profit gained.

I took a pleasant driVe over through
Weston last week, the first time I had
been through that part of our delightful
‘count'yin fifteen years, and I must con-
fess that the fact that the village is
in just about the same rut as when I was
a frequent visitor" there. impressed me
with the thought that social and material
inertia—and even positive retrogrcssion—r
are sometimes desirable. - The simple fact
of the landmarks and customs being im-
mutably the same now as then, brought
me in fancy ’way back to those good old
days and made me feel fifteen years
younger. And the happy illusion was
still further realized by an enjoyiblc meet-
iug with. one of .the old-time characters,
a malteseVlwhiskered, hoary-headed old
patriarch who, even then, was privileged
as an “old stand-by,” and of whom it used
to be related that he had said he “never

but once in his life, and that was when he
went to New Haven to hear a drum
