I Ida Wkj.ua. the Kentucky negrcss, who hu lately traveled in England and delivered lectures denonn^i;.- ?Jjc people of the South for their treatment of the negro, laying special stress on lynchiogs, returning to this country, has been followed by an English committer, which proposes to invest iyatt the subject. We do not know what she said to the English people. She said that which has made her laudably notorious in the eyes of some well meaning English people whose heads have swelled so big as to totally impair their eyesight. Knglantfs charily a'ways did stay a long way from?home. In fact it went off long ago ami lias not been hcarJ of (in Eogland) since, Old Htigland has some of the grandest, best men in the world. These stay at home. ?J*ther little fellows, nothing at home, nothing whercevcr they are known, wander up ami down the earth, always steering clear of English dominions. trvin<r in fimt Whon they finii the object of their search and desire, forgetting what they hnve left at home, they throw up their hands in holy horror at the depravity (of other peop'c). Then they gloat, over tbc corruption they have found. Then they devour it ; and then 'investigate ' (for more.) Ida Wells has made herself notorious t > her own infamy in the eyes of all people who arc at all acquainted with the (acts. Whatever she said it lias left the impression first that the negro only was lynched, second that white men always did the lynching, both of which are false. Ttiere is one crime which is so detestable to all men who love their mothers and wives and sisters and children that it incense< men against the perpetrator of it ; and if agravatcd at all or accompanied with fiendishness it drives pooplo to madness. This is the case everywhere. North and South, and whoever the crimnal, be ho black or white. Negroes themselves do not hesitate to intlict summary punishment when that crime is committed on one of their race. Wo deprecate lynching, we depreciate all mob law. It is our sober judgment that every accused person ought to have the benefit of a fair and impartial trial. Fiat iustitin red in cert'i forma tint. We have stringent laws against lynching in soma cf our Southern Slates. Jii North Carolina whenever a person is taken out of custody ind lynched it becomes the duty of the solicitor of the district to go to the county Mid Bcarch diligently for thre lyuchers and to spare no pains to bring them to justice. Aud for this service the county wherein the lynching took place, besides paying the expense of the investigation, must pay the solicitor $100 for his a?rvi?*. ithi>ihi.p l>? i>n successful or not. There may be such laws in other Stales ami we presume there are iu some The trouble is not with our law. nor is it with our people, but it is with the unbridled passions of o certain class of negroes ami brutal white men. If the English committee can change these they might do some good, lu regard to this comuiitte, however, we disagree with some of our contemporaries, and incline to the opinion expressed by the Governors of most of our States. We regard it an officious intermeddling and do not think that the committee ought to be tolerated. We do not fear an investigation, but we do not thiuk the English committee competent, fitted or clothed with the proper authority to investigate. England has never had hut one ear for America, an ear keen to slander and dull to truth ?deaf to all good. It has hut one eye for us, and that is the searching eye of eriticism and fault-finding?color Mind to nil except black. It has but one nostril, and tliat sensitive only to slouches. It has hut one taste in America and that is for filth. It lias but one interest and that is to get all the gold we have. Wc don't see what good the committee could do mi l we see how they might do % great deal of harm It certainly would be a bad day fir the negro, .if the English should bring into I lie South some of the reform that they ore now perpetrating on the negroes in Africa We anticipate no trouble from tins committee however. The negro has been deceived a long time but he has at last found nit that the Southern white man t- his bt-t friend. There are some leading negroes nuw wiiu iirv uiicu i^uiu in*!u :\\\ \ inr<Hig? their re.igious denominations they are raakng better citizens of their people. The resoutions recently adopted by a national osseinjly of negroes in one of our Southern cities iverc very commendable. They denounced ynching, but they also denounced the crimo hat occasions so much lynching. They lagged the white pople to delist from ynching, but they also resolved to Jo their itmost to cheek the commission of crimo by lie more brutal one of their race. It is rue they csuimended the course of Ida iVells, but that was but natural for them, unl while not agreeing with them we may veil excuse them. We wish that lynching might be stopped iut wo do not believe that if will be as long is a certain crime i" so prevalent, whether lie etitne bo committed by white or black. To the linglisli committee and well moating people who arc 111 favor >>f investigating we would say : beware that you do not !< ?! to countenance the crime, beware that you do not take sides with the wrong victim. If all your words had come to the uars of ccriaiu low, brutal men there would have been more crime, more victims and more lyncliings. We of the boutli welcome criticism in | kitulncsu. He try to manage our atl.urwith justice and equity, an I we welcome my ahl or advice, l>ut if we must he ma le jver again wo just a little ratlier not be tmi'lo on an Knglish last. AGAINST THE TRUSTS. Judge Sceott, of ( nils the Jtirj's Atteutlou to This I.aw. Waco. Tox., September 18.?lion. Samuel 11. Scott, judge of tlie fiftyfourth district court, at Waco, in u special charge to tlie grand jury calls attention to the law against trusts or combine,s. lie stated that cotton seed had been reduced fifty per cent coinpared with last year and that the same priee prevailed nil over the at ate. J'or this, and for other reasons, he believed on unlawful combination exists t?> depress the cotton seed market, and the judge directed the grand jury to closeinvestigate the mutter. i IRoad Convention j | From tb* proceedings cf the nonl Asso- I cit'iou which met ?t Cha-loite on the 12th * and 13th last wo cu'l some th ugs which we boj o will be of interest to the lovers of good reals. i The fir;t meeting was he'd in the city hall and was called to order by 1>. .1 Hrevard, the President who is also mayor of Charlotte. After some prelentiunries he welcomed the de'egates and then stated that the association was ready for business. Several of the delegates responded in short happy speeches, among them one of our own citizens, .Mr. It. M. Jolly, of Spartanburg, who said that lie had been on the Spartanburg county board for 12 years nnd he had come to the convention to find out how to make roads. There w ore remarks made by several others af.cr which the convent on adjourned to meet again at 2:30. The first session was well attended. There were 150 dclcg?tes representing a great ninny counties of i the l?l North State and some from other ] elates. Mr. J. S. Welch was present and represented our county. Promptly at 2:00 i * lie convention rc-asseniblcd, hut had hardly i time to do anything before some one suggested that the convention g> out and look at the work that was being done and conic > and do their talking by gas light. That < was a goo 1 idea. It met the approbation of the body and was accordingly adopted. When they re-asscuibled at eight o'c'ock i tlice was a right much larger crowd than at the other meetings, a good many of them * not delegates. A number of these had come . in on the trains in the evening, and sonio of tin in from the surrounding country, nil < interested in good roads, ('apt. S. B. Alexander, being called upon as ono who wns well ae>{uainte 1 with the history of the t work on the Beads, arose nn l gave in out" c line the wotk from its incipicnoy. He told of the trouble he had had in getting the bill through the legislature and raid it seemed that the state had determined that Meek- t lonbutg should not have good roads. He f said morover that the bid wns not drawn ( for Mecklenburg but for every county in the j state, and would fit nny ciutity. He said tj that they had found difficulties when they first begun to utilize convict labor but tha1 u now they had found out what good roads are fl and that soon they would radiate from w . . " Charlotte in every direction. He sai 1 that t] | to make the system most completely success- v ful every county should adopt it, and thus 11 complete a net work of roads from one county to another. I( ' n 11;ii na*C vur UOUU ItODUS l?ollC lor v O the Fanners of Meckleuburg County" was read by Capt. Ardrey. It was as follows : It is difficult. ' said he, "to estimate the value "f good roads to the farmers or tj the community, for the benefits or returns come c indirectly and not d'rectly in dollars and ?' cents, and, therefore, cannot be easily 15 counted, and owing to the late financial c' crisis that we have had and are now having, n it is ditficu t to properly estimate the value of iniproveineiits, and they are so numerous that n is difficult to estimate them, and only y a few can be noticed in this article. "Go d roads have improved our farmers a morally, socially and intelligently, by bring- f? | ing iliein in closer contact with each other, n and improving the facilities for attending church and schools, extending the circle of socie'v. and enlarging the measure of our d acquaintance. They improve commerce hy a: bringing the people nearer to market and , rendering transportation easier and cheaper, mnkiug it ca?i?*r and less expense to trans! port two tons than one, or two bales of cot- >s ton than one. The difference here is about ],> one to four. *'tie horse or mule can draw ou the macadamized n ads four bales of cotton with as much case as he can one on the old roads. They have saved thousands of dollar* to the farmers in the way of minor products. < >u the oi l roads it cost more to tli market wood eight or ten miles than it would bring on the market. So also, our fruits and vegetables have been lost until our roods were imp roved. Our farmers have sold thousands cf dollars of wood, melons, fruits, l'l vegetal" es and other products that would hi not pay to transport over had roads, and heretofore have been lost ; and the easier and cheaper marketing <<f these products has '1 encouraged diversified farming, which brings money to the fanner in all seasons of the J,j year and makes Lis living at homo better. Good roads h* vc enhanced tlie vahto of the land, invited new settler*, enfttsed now life and energy in the citizens. The farmers s? take more pride in keeping goo 1 stock and good vehich s, for it is a real pleastivo to drive a good team over a good road. It excites the pride of even our colored teamsters, y Good roads have stimulated the farmcts to id improve their lands and premises, because to they are brought more into notice: for tvc tlo p not like for our lands to appear poor and J] our houses dispidated. and for the same p reason they hive encouraged improve 1 w farming ami stock raiding. The improved tl roads have brought about a better social feeling and closer tiusiness relations between ft the citizens of Charlotte snd the country by J ottering better facilities for the people of the city to visit their friends in the country tl and vice versa and if all our roads were b macadamized, many of our wealthy citizens a of the city would delight in owning farms in ^ the country, and ?ur farmers woul I he better p satisfied with their country homes and their surroundings. C "All the nhove is evidenced by a unani* si inotts appeal from the people to tho conn- d ty commissioners to speed ou the work and k make till the roads in the county good. livery a man wants his road Worked first, and also u by a willingness to pay the road taxes, for it wc have no complaint now, and the pressure (, is so great that the justices and commission- a ers wul l>e forced to drive some new method 0 to increase the work as was evidenced at the last meeting of the county commissioners j, as there were live delegations representing ci live of the leading roads from Charlotte, y representing about fifty or seventy-live of b the Lie-t farmers in the county, pleading h with the commissioners to send the convicts ii immediately to their roads, that the n macadam be extended on their roads, prim- p ising to deliver rock gratuitously, and other inviting propos itus. I, "Tin* advantages of go" 1 ranis in this County has proven to bo so great nnd the ji proms so lucraiiTe nun inc once strongest of>( uncills of the new system have became a its strongest advocitcs, ami imtv a unanim- p 1 oiis api'tui comes from a'l classes ami cvtidi- i lions of our citizens for goo 1 roads." i Then S. II Hilton who login the works t give some interesting history an I W. 11 flutter, City Engineer made some instructive estimations of the cost. These were fol- * lowed l?y Secretary Holmes with some interesting and instructive remarks supplemented with stcrc<>| tican views contrasting good ^ ami ba-l roads. Shortly after warh the Con- ( veution adjourned , Thursday morning was taken up in uriv- * ing over and examining th i. .ids, after which the onvoiiti u le -a-scmbled .?l 1 J in. | Then there were n great many good speeches made Cy peaclieis, teichcis, uuJ others: ' Loo many^o try to give hero. We w?~? (g 51TC a to# words, however, from the speech >f Rev. Ipr. Hanks of lie M. E. Church. He eattl: "Such roads as they have in he New England and the Middle States, | ?nd in some | onions of this country, affect j Lhe attendance on church services greatly. tVjrh good roads not half the horses would be needed to take the people to church; only ibout one fourth of the time would be required, nnd there would bo only about Dne-teniii the worry and discomfort and unpleasant effort to reach church now neces* tury. roajjs three times as many it lent, yburch in winter. Liood roads wOKfTTrevolutioniie and greatly improve the plan of giving the gospel to the people who live outside of the cities. There are too many churches, and not enough people to a church, in the country. Every man wants a church at his own door, for the reason that lie cannot get away from his door to go to church. The country preachers have to travel over the muddy roads from one church to the o'her. If we had good roads the distance between the churches would be considerably decreased. With roads like those in nnd about Charlotte, tlie trouble and expense of travel would bo lessened. Willi good roads, the church privileges in tlie country would approximate those of the t mil. Oood roads prove profitable to worshippers. The amount saved on I lie wear and tear of vehicles would pay the lax for keeping up the road, and pay for better preachers. Large congregations in;ipire a preacher, hut large congregations Miinot be had tn thecountry with bad roads. Fhe same applies to the Sunday school. A large portion of them go into winter <iuarlers. The roads arc so bad the teachers and children cannot attend. "Under the improved road system, only mc-third of the number of Sundny schools would be needed ; one-half ns many tcachirs, and one-half as many superintendents. I'o sum up tlie effects of good roads on ihurch attendance, wo notice: "First. A large nttendanco under the iresctit system of good roads. "J-'esond. (loo t roads tend to decrease lie number and increase the strength of diurches. It is not assigned me to say uow bis matter of good roads is to be brought ibout, but I hope and believe it will come .bout." Wc have not space for all the resolutions hat were passed hut will make room for the allowing offered by Col. Tipton as a substinte for Mr. Mallory's resolution which rcw forth the heated debate before menioued, "Resolved, That this road conference rge each county of the State which has not rranged so to do, to use its own convicts at rork on tlie public roads, and to raise by i,\'ii h'u ;\u 11 xiiiMiin 01 money sumcieni ior 10 maintenance nml guarding of these conids. and for the purchase and operation of ccessnrv improved road machinery. "Resolved, further, That wo urge the ounlies of the State to have passed such jc.rl legislation, at the next meeting of our leneral Assembly, as will euablo thein to cop and work on their public roads all ersons sentenced to the penitentiary for frms of less than fifteen years." Mr. Webb offered this amendment: ' Resolved, That we recommend the renactuient of the law which permits any ounty in the State to withdraw from the tate penitentiary as many as twenty-five onvicts during any one year, on the payicnt of the actual expeuses." The subs'itute and amendment carried. The Convention was a complete success. >'e shall watch the movement with interest nd expect to see better roads in N. C. in a :w years. Now let us go to work also. We ccd inc roads as much as North Carolina, hey will do us as much good as they will o her. We can make them as good and at j small cost, and arc as able to make them s the pyknic* of vkir sistei^staie. * Let us not e behind in this matter. Let us see that it brought before our next Legislature and t us have as good roads as any other state. Personals Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Nicholson have gone orth.
