The Asheboro Cornier PRICE ONE DOLLAR A YEAR Wm. C. HAMMER, Editor. THURSDAY. February 22, 1906. TWO FAMOUS NEGROES. The News and Observer calla at tention to the fact that the two most famous negroea died before reaching the age of forty years, and also calls attention tothe fact that the late Rev Dr Skinner, of Raleign, who was for a number of years en gaged in educating the negro race, said: "A negro or unmixeu bloou can learn and canmaster the higher education. lie can become a pro found theologian. I have see some who had mind of rare capacity to learn, to retain, to teach, to preach. i believe the ne- fro can take .higher education, but am profoundly convinced that physically he cannot btand the strain necessary to become a scholar and coLtinue to study as white men must to hold position. Ilis defect is not mental. It is physical. If a negro devotes himself to study in the higher branches he is sure to lose physical strength, to wilt, to droop, and to die before he reaches mature life. How do I explain it? I do not explain it. I do not try. I merely give that opinion, formed deliberately after a long life in which I have studied the negro as slave and freeman, as laborer and as student in colleges. The negro will die if he tries to study and acquire what the white leaden learn in or der to maintain intellectual leader ship. I do not say that here and there you will not find a negro of j pure blood who wi 1 not prove an exception to the rule I have stated, but I have never seen one or read of one." The two most famous ne groes referred to are Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the Ohio negro, poet, who recently died and the late Rev Joseph C Price D D, the founder of Livingston College, at Salisbury. Both these men were full blooded negroes. Booker Washington, T T Fortune, B K Ewice, J E O'Hara, H P Cheatham, John C Dancy, Fred Douglass belonged to the class called mulattoes. than macadamizing roads is practi cally thrown away. The present rate of the road tax is eight and a third cents on the $100.00. This yields something like six thousand dollars a year. The Courier is heartily in favor of the issue of three hundred thousand dollars in bonds to build roads. We can a hundred thousand dollars a year and in three years we can build considerable number of permanent roads, the bonds can run for thirty years and will not cost the county any more than it is now costing. , We heartily favor some plan of this kind and hope that the mem bers of our next Legislature will have the courage to give the people of the county a privilege to vote on a good bond for good roads. The Statesville Landmark, a most careful and accurate newspaper, be lieves that about 75 per cent of the Republican office holders in this state, if they had their just deserts, would be in the penitentiary or be eternally disgraced. The Landmark says that it is almost certain that the matter will not end with the in dictment of Blackburn, that a prominent North Carolina office holder will have charges preferred against him and his indictment de manded. The Landmark in closing says: So strong is the feeling between factions, that not only are some of them in danger of having their characters destroyed, hut some them fear for their personal safety it is saw that one prominent f eder al officeholder stands in such fear of a brother Republican who camping on his trail that he con stantly goes armed in anticipation of an attack. and before other courts of appeal. No one will deny that we need better roads in this county. In our opinion money expended oa other The Greenboro Record asks why it was that District Attorney Hoi ton went on a note as surety for E Spencer Blackbern for $500.00, in timating that Holtou ought to have known that he would be sued as was the case in Fosyth conty court last Saturday, when a judgment was rendered against Mr Holton for the full sum of $500,00, Dont the editor of the Record know that this Kilkenny cat fight is comparatively of recent date and we predict that it will be of short duration, and democrats who are expecting to profit by it might as well expect snow in August. It now looks like Marion Butler is arranging to take charge of the Republican party in North Carolina We make no prediction about what will be or what will not be done. Those who know his past record, will hesitate before surren dering entirely to a man who is so thoroughly repudiated by all classes in this State. Among the charges made by Representative Blackburn against District Attorney Hoi ton is that he has placed his personal interest above the duties of his office, and it is said that one of the charges is in connection with the indictment of his old time enemy, N Glenn Wil liams. DRUGGIST IMPEACHMENT." "It is a great pity that the saloon monopolizes the energy of the re formers. Intemperance in whiskey is comparatively but a mild form of intemperance. Men may dabble with whiskey and come away, but when they dabble with cocaine, they say 'Let the great river bear me on the mam. Whatever the provision of the statutes passed by the last Legis lature, looking to the restriction of the drug traffic, I am informed that they are not enforced and receive no attention at all. Dope artists tell me that they can get whatever they want in any town. But because the dope fiend does not bluster np and down the street and 'raise Cain,' as the riprorious boozer does, but goes about his business with-big pupils in his eyes and with hypodermic ab cesses all over his body, we ran after the drunkard and take no note of the doper. It is the doper and not the drunkard who kills his wire in Greensboro, robs women 'across town' in Charlotte, and commits suicide in a negro's honse in East Raleigh. The high-spinted man who cannot endure 'the languor of inglorious days' falls easiest pray to it. And yet nobody in authority pays attention to its traffic. It is worse in this country than in China. The opium smoker will last a long time, but cocaine and morphine are swift and cunning and sure." J C McNeill, in Charlotte Observer. Mr Mcneill is right. Oar drag gists are criminally guilty in this matter; and our officers f the law criminally indifferent. The Rate Legislation Bill, passed by the Honse.and now under consid eration in the Senate does not con tain a provision providing that the interstate commission can on its own motion fix rates. The bill would be much more effective if. it contained this provission. In our oppininon it will be worth but little without this provision, because it is so expensive for individuals to make complaints, employ (counsel, W L Foust, of this place, has or and appear before the commission, Iganized a company for the mann- The faithful words have been said which united Longworth and Miss Roosevelt.

Try for Something That It Bettor. Editor Courier: I want to tell jour readers a few thit gs that make a state or nation great. First, is true christian men and women not hypocrites. Second, the people should all be well educated and trained for some special calling. Third: we must have our public high ways macadamized, no we can make better time and take larger loads over the roads. Fourth: we are in great need of more rural telephones so we can do more business and make but few trips. 1 must say a few more words on the road subject. 1 have had the pleasure of using six miles of macadamized roads this winter. 1 would not take six hundred dollars for the macadamized road if I had to take the old mud road for all time to come. I hope Randolph county will vote for a bond issue and have all the most important loads macadamized at soon as possible You can macadamize vour roads for half what it costs per mile in Guil ford county because you have plenty of rock close by all of your roads. We have to have part of our rock shipped to us from other counties you have more red mud to contend with than Uuillord and you can Dx your roads at less cost. I will tell you what 1 think will be the best plan to get nearly all of the people to vote for a bond issue. Take the convicts and build a mile or two of macadamized road around Asheboro and a mile or two at Randleaaan then you will have no trouble to git them to vote for the macadamized road. C U Hinshaw. R F D No. C, Greensboro, N C. Hon E Y Webb, representative in Longress from Charlotte diatiict, has introduced a bill in Congress to prohibit the sale of drugs contain ing "dope", alcohol and etc., and which are sold as popular remedies It is reported that Mrs W B Clarke, who lives near Albemarle, in Stanley county, has lust fa'len heir to a large estate, amounting to at least $1,000,000 through the death of a near relative in England, In additon to the generous offer of a ten acre site for the proposed Junior Urpnauage, Al L Jackson. president of the Salisbury Guaranty ana iteauy uompany, lias offered a cash subscription of $2,000 in the event the institution is located there. Mr James Ellis, of Randolph county, was in town yesterday on his way to Baltimore where he is taking his wife for treatment. Mr William Bray, of Nebraska, who has been visiting lelatives in this section for some weeks, left yester day for home. Mr Bray left her 35 years ago and this was his first trip back. Of course, he did not recognize the place, as there was no town here at all at that time. Siler City Grit. Pastsngsr fUtee Too High. The Ohio House has passed a bill reducing passenger rates to two cents: the South Carolina House has led a bill reducing the rate to 21 cents: and Virginia is wrestling with a two and a half cent rate bill. The North Carolina House in 1905 passed a bill to make a cat of one-half a cent a mile in passenger rates, bat the Senate put it to sleep. giving as the reason that the Cor poration Commission should look into this matter and make the proper reduction. The increase in business warrants a redaction of the passenger rate in worth Carolina. It should have been made by the Legislature or it should have changed the law re quiring a second and a first-class rate. Now that we have separate cars for the races, there ought to be one fare and it ought to be two and a half cents. But, inasmuch as the Senate virtually referred thn House bill to the Corporation Commission, that body ought to make the re duction contained in the Laughing house bill as it passed the Honse. That would leave ample profits for tne railroads. JNews ft Observer. Investigating Holton. Senators Foraker, of Ohio, Kit- tredge, of South Dakota, an Black barn, of Kentucky, have been nam ed by the Senate to investigate the charges against District Attorney Holton. The nature of the charges against Mr Holton have not been made public. A man would have to work over time all day to do all the things he tries to make his friends believe he does before breakfast. New York Press. i HEALTH IS BETTER THAN MONEY. NERVOUS INDIGESTION CURED. How? Read the following: I am not able to explain in words my opinion of Mrs Joe Person's Remedy. I have been cured by it of indigestion and nervousness of twenty years' standing. No one can know what it is to be nervous except those who have suffered with it. I did not know what it was to get a good night's rest. I was so weak and excitable from nervousness I have been cured of it by the Reme dy, and life seems like a different thing. 1 wish everybody would take it that suffers from nervous indigestion like I did. It would make Mrs Person rich and do them more good than that, tor health is better than money. 1 wouluu t be in the fix I was in before I took Mrs Person's Remedy for a thou sand dollars.

This 19th day of February, 1906. Senator Overman on th Rati Bill. Senator Overman to-day said con cerning the outlook for effective legislation of this character: "While not unmindful of the obstacles to be encountered I am, nevertheless, of the opinion that the bill in is accord with the recommendation of the President, and that will prove of very material benefit to shippers of the country, will be passed long before the time comes for Congress to adjourn. I think the Dolliver bill has found more favor in Demo cratic eyes than has any other bill that has thus far been introdnced, but it is unlikely that any great number of Democratic Senators will adopt even this admittedly merito rious piece of proposed legislation. On the contrary, I am persuaded that the minority members of the Senate will have a bill of their own, and it will be one that will afford the same measure of relief to the small shipper a3 it will to those in terested in transportation on a large scale.
