The Asheboro CoiUerj PRICE ONE DOLLAR A YEAR Wm. C. HAMMER, Editor. 9-Kntered at the Post Office at Asheboro u 'econd Cass MaKer. THE WHITE PEOPLE WILL RULE So Says The Washington Pout Uranil father ( Unit or no Grandfather 1 lausr. The Washington Post says that the brethren referring to the Repub licans down iu North Carolina did not seem to understand Secretary Taft in his recent address on the night before the meeting of the State Convention. "Secretary Taft," says the Post, "told them that the fifteenth amend ment to the Federal Constitution is thoroughly legal, and that only thoroughly legal processes should be invoked to nullify it, or words of that import; but no sooner was Mr. Taft's eloquence expired than his preachments were contemned. When the "weepin" were put away and the old crowd given control, the convention immediately proceeded to lengthen the life of the "grand father clause" twelve years. Secrefary Taft thinks that the negro will "come into political power if he will first get learning and ac quire property. It is an iridescent dream. TheSaxon is more avari-1 cious of power than of anything else, and he will neither surrender nor share it. Thirty years ago the fifteenth amendment at the South was nullified. It went all to flinders when the sword no longer sustained it, and neither political party at the South intends that it shall be re-established. As for the "grandfather clause," it is all the North Carolina Republicans have to live on. It enfranchises the white Republicans of the mountains, who knew all about a ride and little about a spelling book. The "grandfather clause" is very illegal, very unconstitutional, veiy depraved, very baneful, but it is very human, and therefore very virile." The white man of the South, learned or illiterate, will find a way to vote aui exercise an influence in the government, and the white men of the South do not iuteud to go into partnership with black men in the governmental business. This is a plain state ment of a plain fact. Mr. Roose velt may "open the door of hope," Mr. Taft may interpret the Con stitution, but politically the South is "lily white," and it is a condition, not a theory, that counts in govern ment. Tlie only way to enforce the fifteenth amendment is by a Feder al election law, a Lodge bill, a force bill. It will require the army to do that, and government in the cotton States would be what it was during the era of reconstruction a military despotism. It is the only way, and the North has come to know it. Hence the Republican party is content to let things drift, handing the problem over to posterity to deal with: and perhaps that is the best way to manage it." ROSEVELT, BRYAN, HEARST. The New York Sun, alwavs bright, if not always correct, has ways of dropping into prophecy. The Sun said: 'The next governor of the State of New York will be a Democrat. "The next governor of the State of New York will be next President of J the L nited States. This means nothing more nor less than that in the Sun's opinion Mr. Wm. R. Hearst will be the next President. The Washington Post, a most conservative independent news paper says: "Stranger things have happened Mr. Hearst is just a little in advance of Iheouore Roosevelt and William Jennings Bryan on the road this country is traveling at rapid speed. That Hearst will be caught up with sooner or later there is no sort of Ioubt. It is a Baying u trne as it ia ancient "As well eat tne devil as drink his broth." Mr. Roosevelt has given us Hearstism diluted; Mr. Bryan has preached Hearstism slightly less diluted. Would it be strange if the country should de mand the real stuff aad not put up with anything else. Mr. Bryan says the Hearst doc trine he has been giving us in the broth is the trne political gospel Mr. Roosevelt admits that it is very unwholesome political food, deleteri ous broth, and not at all palatable, but that if he had not dosed Con "gress with it the country would de mand and would get the Hears1, political roast beef that will not do at all. Roosevelt, Bryan, and Hearst! Who ia in besides? One of them will be inaugurated President ot the United States in 1909 If the expect ed happens. The first named says he is out of the calculation; the oth er two protest they are ot candi dates, but if the "country shall be in the humor it is now, one of the three will head the successful tick et of 1908. It- liinv pome to this: The Retmb- licans must nominate Roosevelt to stand any show at all; the Demo crats will have to nominate Bryan to prevent me uuuuuuuuu ui uouai. And then, if Mr. Hearst should !e nnminiihil hv the Democrats and elected governor of New York in 1906, Mr. JJryan will nave no easy job to beat him for nomination in 190S. lhe Democrats themselves love success. THE LYEKLY MCKDEK. The most brutal and inhuman murder ever committed in this state so far as we have any knowledge of, was that of the Lyerly family near Barber's Junction, the details of which were publised in these col umns of last week's issue. It was a savage butchery. There are fiv e negro men in jail at Charlotte, and one negro woman in jail at Salisbury. Much of the evidence has been published in newspapers, and it 19 in the main correct, yet there is much testimony which has not got in the newspapers, and probably will not be developed until after the trial. It is quite certain that most if not all of those in jail are guilty, of which evidence of a direct nature has been obtained, and as the inves tigation goes forward more evidence is discovered. It is believed 'that a conspiracy! was planned before the killing by the negroes now in custo- The Salisbury Evening Post, which has built up a large circula tion and has become one of the best afternoon papers published iu the state, with Mr. John Julian us edi tor, has ordered linotype machines, a dynamo and ot her equipments. VV. T. Finisher for the House. Editor The Col'kiek: As the sunshine and the shadows have caused the luxuriont growth of corn and grass, so the good hope of Democratic victorv iu November has brought out an abundant sunnlv of candidates for all the county otlices. Among them all however ! do not remember to have heard of a single candidate for the Legis lature. This is all right, for Columbia township has a candidate wuo is well able to till the bill that l it is unuessary to go further for a Representative. We therefore move that Mr. Y. T. Foushee be nomi nated unanimously for the House of Representatives from Randolph county. Mr. Foushee has been the efficient chairman of the board of Education for several years and needs no introduction to the people of the county. A man of ability and unblemished character, a Demo crat of proved loyalty, he stands for the best traditions of the party. Can more be said of any man than a good man and a good Democrat? J. M.
