Return to the old paths for North Carolina magistrates
A political editorial argues that governance by educated white officials is superior to rule by African descent. It condemns African birth as corrupt and ignorant, urges restoring magistrates from the pre Reconstruction era, and lauds figures such as Ruffin Mangum Badger and Clark while denouncing current magistrates including negroes in office. It asserts fraud and taxation issues follow from perceived ignorance and calls for reinstating old county governance.
