A WARNING.

It is apparent to all observers of political events that the Democratic machine, in its desperation, goaded on by the News and Observer, its malicious and vindictive negro hating organ, is going to attempt to carry the coming election by force and violence prior to and on election day. The object of its venom and spite will be the negro voters who refuse to bow the knee to the Democratic Baal. For some days the News and Observer has been filled with the most inflammatory and incendiary articles, both in its news and editorial columns, that have ever appeared in any newspaper in North Carolina. We know that the law-abiding and liberty-loving people of the white race do not approve of these appeals to passion and incitement to riots advocated and urged by that newspaper. The riot at Winstead, in Person County, Iast week is but an echo of the editorials in the News and Observer. The patriotic people of North Carolina, of both races, should, and will, condemn by their ballots any political party that attempts to gain or hold power by physical force and violence.

Elections should and will be free in North Carolina. In view of the excitement and bad feeling being stirred up among Democrats by the press of that party, we advise colored voters to go peaceably and quietly to the polls on election day and deposit their ballots and return to their homes without bar. ing any argument whatever with Democrats. Leave them severely alone, as contact with them may cause you to get into a difficulty. Leave to the workers at the polls the duty of protecting the interest of the party.

The paramount issues of honest elections and good government are at stake in North Carolina, and we earnestly appeal to every patriotic citizen to do his…these two important issues by voting against the Democratic party, which seeks to destroy the them by bulldozing and intimidating honest but poor citizens. The right of franchise and personal liberty is in jeopardy. Rebuke by your ballots the enemies of the State.
