DUDLEY, THE POLITICAL MISSION

Our n*lt Appointt d | olitical sr*
vior, Mr. L. Edwin Dadle.Y, ot Bos
ton, wbo recently visited South
(JaroliiM with (Lm avowed purpose
of lifting us poor mortals out of ike
slam of vice aud iuiquitj into a
higher aud healthier almospht-re of
political morals, has returned to his
native heath. We cannot but ad~
mire the pious but fanatical t-al
which caused him not to shun us,
aa the peop'e of old, crying “uu
clean f unclean!” did the poor leper,
but bravely facing the danger, lo
come in our mid-t for the purpose
of saving us from the grasping ten
dril* of perdition.
But, to be set ions, Mr. Dudley has
sh iwn himself to be a ba>e maligtiet
of the fair name of our Sta e. We
are told that he ri tr.ined to Bo ton

while iu South Carolina, for be sa.is
that by a recent Act of tbe Legisla
ture all black men who weie not
registeied at the time tbt Act was
passed are denied ihe ballot, and
that the only exception ia iu tbe
case of yonng men jastomiugot
age. Mr. Dudley purposely and
maliciously omitted to state that
this law applies to both races aud
that every white man, then of age,
wbo failed to regirier at a cert tin
time was foiever debarred from
voting.
Again he informs ns that on one
occasion, at a cirot s peiformatoe
in a certain place, registration tick**
eta were taken in pay meot of art-
mission and that 4 many were ob>

Furthermore, be saya that the

LOCAL OPTION IN NORTH CARO

Elections wt re held in many
towns of North Carolina ou ihe lo
cal option question, on Tuesday of
last week, and the result was a
crushing defeat for the cause of
prohibition. Every towu, voting
ou (he question, with one excep
tion, went ‘•wet.’’ ItaL-igh, Mon
roe anti Shelby are ainovg the
towns witicb voted against “no li
cense,” witiL* Wad*-sboro trione vot
ed •‘dry.” It is a significant fajt
that evety towu that had previous
ly (tied the plau ot “no license” ie-
padisted it at the recent election
aud that tbe only town which went
•‘dry” had never before expeiieuc<d
tbe i fleets of the prohibition law.
Wherever prohibition has been
tried iu this State, it brs had tbe
same resul s. The feeble manner
in which the prohibitiou regula
tions have been enforc'd l* assign
ed as the cause of the tevolution iu
public sentiment.

he has gone to instruct some of tbr 1
natives in the cultivation of cotton- j
Mr. Scott is employed by a wealthy 1
