| A united and harmonious white population will suffer little inconvenience from universal suffrage. A little kindly conciliation and patient teaching on our part will soon enable the newly enfranchised colored man to see that his own interest requires him to co-operate with his former master and, after all, his best friend, rather than to follow the lead of designed deceivers, who would rob him of his paltry savings and lure him into a destructive contest of races.--Roanoke Times |
