Every flan Should Do His Duty to His State, Regardless of What His Politics May Be, February 23. 1900. Zirccnia. Henderson County. N. C. Editcr Test: It is out of my line of business :o write lor a newspaper, but since the agitation of the constitutional amwei raent -began-1 have beecme impressed with the fact that something of un usual importance is on hand ami that every white man in the State of North Carolina should put on his thinking cap, finely this question, and not let prejudice or past party affiliations pre- vent him from voting for white oil- premacy a: the next election: so sjine- thing r!ie up within me that tells me to give to the voters cf the State my sentiments on the proposed amend ment, and this something "like Ban quo's ghO; will not dowin." The majority of voters in my town ship and county (Henderson) are Re publicans, and I belong to the major ity. I have no indention of severing my connections with the grand old party, but when the Republican leaders de part from the beaten path and advo cate a policy which has for its object the retarding of the social, political and industrial progress of the State. I cannot and will not go with 'them: nor 1o I believe my fellow Republicans will knowingly do so. I have reference to the opposition of the Republican party in this State to the ratification of the constitutional amendment which action is, I am thoroughly con vinced, a deplorable blunder. I have become Of this ODinion. not from read- i ing the delusive representations of ; sometimes do this, it is often said of ! the amendment itself and the decisions ' me that I am not a Republican: but 1 of courts bearing cn the couKitu:ior..il- j have a better opinion of a real Repuo ; ity of the amendment. i lican than to believe he has to endorse i am. as i nave aireaay said, it tve-; . publican, and expect to remain one, : out 1 am not one of tne so-callod Re- ; publicans, such as Senator Pntemrd. ; Congressman Iv.nney and others are , proving uiemseives to oe, wno ssom to think that in cider ft r a white man to : oe a itepuijiican he must consider nim ; self cd better than a negro, and be : willing to submit to negro domination. Xcw, if it took that to make a Repub lican I would not vote a Republican ticket so long as I had any respect fo." : myself or my race, cr any anxiety for th? welfare of the white people of the State and I believe these are the sen timents of most of the Republicans of , Ilendei'sou county for most of th?m ; are hone-t ran and white. A true Re publican is fir from bsiug in favo- of negro equality or negro dominatioa, and will net cast hi vote against a measure he is convinced will make ; white supremacy permanent and ne : gro domination an impossibility, even : though i't be called a Demoi-raii-j measure and is opposed by unprinci pled Reitublican office holders, whose selfish interests lead tasm to work against the l?st interests of thp people of the State. Thp illiterate white vottis i I-mo- 1 illiterate white vottis i D'-mo- and-ftepublicanst in this section ! ciais iijiii-nepuoucansi in i;r.s ser uon are in a dilemma to know how to vote on the amendment, became they do not understand it. They are in favor of the ignorant ne.gro being di.-i'ran- chised. but are inclined to believe the Republican misrepresentation tha-c sec ; tion five will be declared unconstitu ! tional and will fall, having section i four in full force, thus disfranchising them also. I have read and studied the amend :, nient closely, and read the principal arguments for and again-1 it. and am j satisfied that no part of it is uncon j stitutioral, it and section four all to I gethsr; but doubts on this point cer tainly exist in the minds of many : vc.trcs. and argument fails to remove j them. This being .-,o, it is necessary : that the legislatuuie amend the air-end-ment a. pioposed. and I hope ifwill ; do so. This will knock the chief Rriru- merit cf the enainies of white fuiprem- acy into a cocked hat and convince : the illiterate whites beyond the shadow j of a doubt that the au.cndir.eat, if : ratified, will not disf rain his them. I c;ree with Senator McEnery that 1 "the solution of the race question in the United States is one ot the moat ; serious problems that oy.r confronted j a nation." and I believe the most -I fective way to settle ttii.i question is to eliminate the vote of the negro, and I especially of the ignorant neao. The especially of the ignorant neao. The longer he is pErrrAtted to exercise tae right of suffrage the more impudent unruly and offensive he will become, which will result in a race war. So the ratification of this amendment will be best for all concerned. If the negro be permitted to vote in the future as he has been in the past the tim3 vill come wnen he will wish he never Jia l been allowed to vote and lit vvhi not consider those who gave him that priv ilege his i'fi.'id; and these who vote against the amendment will, if it should be defeated, l-.grtt having dono so. The Republican leaders of Saluda, a little town near here in Polk county. during the last cuiipinyn denounced as campaign lies the statement of the Democrats that negroes in tue cities in the eastern part vf the State pushed white women off the sidewalk, etc., etc., that the treatment the negroes received at the hindu of the whites in these cities was cruel and unjustifi able, and dene for campaign effect; that the negro, if treated right, is harml&ss and inolfensr.e A few months after the election, however, these same Republican leaders gave the lie to their campaign declarations by heading a crowd of the r fellow-townsmen, who, armed with pistols, clubs, rocks, brickba's, etc.. drove thirty nine negroes from their town, promis ing them speedy extermination should they dare return. The Saluda Resort, a paper edited by a Republican, in the issue of July 15, 1899, contained the following editoripl concerning the above: "It is to be regretted that it was found necessary to 'teach the colored people in Saluda such a lesson as was taught them this week. Saluda is or dinarily a most orderly town, and thee. disturbances have simply beeu an exception. The lesson was secs Piry. The nejrcf were about to over -vim thf twn. Rnd tbyt a mm. for ipX iridf pUce, aibl tried td fun tU&jhi 1, 'Ladies have been compelled Co step off sidewalks to allow negroes to pass; the depot has beta crowded with the loafers who have even take;n up the waiting room, despite all efforts to keep them out, and they have impu dently brushed b- the white people in passing to and fro. The idle negroes of Spartanburg and Rutherfordtoii and other points had invaded the town, and they had to be subdued. There need ks no fear for the future. They won't come back, and those left behind will be found attending to their own bus iness as heretofore." How does the above declaration of a Republican editor harmonize wit Senator Fritchards avowal that the negroes of North Carolina had never acted offensively toward the whites? Saluda was an "orderly town" until the -negroes became so numerous that they thought they could have. their way; then, possessing an equal right with the whites as voters and being equally eligible to office, they felt they had as good a right to rule the town as the whites had. They, therefore, "as usual," forgot their place, and tried to run things to the extent that 'they had to be subdued." The negro is not altogether' to blame for getting out of his place. The while man has assisted and encouraged him to gee out of hi-s place by conferring upon him Che right of suffrage; and new it is our duty to show him his proper place by disfranchising him. i lie will then realize that he is not the ! white man's equal, will feel less im I pcrtant and be less liable to try to i put himself in a white man's place. I wish these who claim to be Repub licans would adhere to Republican principles to the extent that I oould endorse what they do. but such is not the case. It puts a man in an awk ward positian to severely criticise the I nr-tinn nf 'r. nsa-n narh- TWnnao T evervih .ng his partv does, goon or bad. cr lose his right to that title. ! ; try to be guided by my convictions of iwhat is right, and am just as far from j following in the footsteps of RepubK- ; c.an when they pursue the wrong ' course as I am of Democrats; and if I see that the Democrats are pursuing ; the light course on any measure.

Special Raleigh Correspondence. : It is astonishing how short the rneni- ; ory of the Republican leaders is. Tak' for instance Revenue Collector Ca;l Duncan, who looks after Republican affairs in all Eastern North Carolina. He was speaking about the legislature which is to be elected this year and of- , fered to bet it would be Republican. No doubt he included Populists in his count, as the Republicans invariably speak of themselves and Populists jointly as "we." Then he said that as soon as the legislature was elected, Governor Russell would convene it, and that it would immediately me .t and repeal the present election law. Collector Duncan declared that after this it would be no trouble at all for us to elect congressmen. What shortness of memory! Does he really think for the merest portion of a second that the Democrats in j ! North Carolina, and those ,who stood shoulder to shoulder with them in lS'JS at the election have so soon forgotten the negro rule in this tSate in ISf'T-S. It is inconceivable that in one year any people so -determined could even think of returning to such a state of affairs. If Collector Duncan bets, ne will lose, as he lost in 1S9S, for if there are threa things certain besides death and taxes in this year of grace, lftOO. they are that the Democrats will carry the legislature and elect their Congres sional nominees and that the constitu tional amendment will be ratified by a majority more than gratifying. Senator Butler is flooding the State with copies of his speech against the franchise amendment to the constitu tion. This plea for negro supremacy is being sent out by Republicans under the Senator's frank. Collector Dun con, for example, ls sending out some , thousands of copies. Republican State Chairman Holton. one of the bitterest of Republicans, had some criticisms to make -of Governor Russell's frank statement made at a banquet in Chicago, in which the Re publicans were arraigned for allowing themselves to be placed in antagonism to the constitutional amendment. The governor sees far more clearly than Holton the "handwriting on the wall." He knows what the white men of the State will do at the polls next August. The governor dismissed Holton's criti cisms with a few contemptuous words. It is hardly probable that ike ses sion of the legislature in June will last more than one week or that t will do things other than the particular thing for which it meets that is. to safe guard the election law aiil Oi" ,fra.!. ehi:e amendment. . There wifi b'. pressure to have it consider some oth?r business, local in character. This leads to the just criticism nf much of the ' steadily increasing vol ume of business which is forced upon the legislatues. At least one-third of it, perhaps even more, could be done by the clerks of superior courts. It is the taik among Republicans here that Judge Ewart can not be con firmed and that Senator Pritchard will be judge. Some persons have named James E. Boyd in that connection, but well-informed Republicans point to Pritchard as the man. The latter, lik Senator Butler, knows that this term ends his Senatorial career. Populists are saying that there will be a revolt against Senator Butler an.l his determined effort to force their State convention to array itself in op position to the franhise amendment. They are teiling Republicans as much. Senator Butler will be .surprised at the dimensions cf this revolt. He will find that he can not make Populists get in line against white supiemacy. They showed him ttas in 1S98. This year they will illustrate it even mare plainly. Thp Hennblicans have had an idea were going to induce Attor- al Walser to declare himself . that they ney General against the amendment, as ne re- marketl today, they do not know him. : It w-;n mean much to the cause of edu He will take no such step, nor will he cation in North Carolina: and it w;ll i antagonize the amendment. He was speaking to a Republican and a Dem ocrat when the Republican made th.. statement that a certain Populist had said he would vote against the am endment for fear be would be disfran chised. "Not at all," said the attor ney general, "it is impossible provided he registers before 1908." This indi cates an able Republican legal view of the matter. Fax ori Mixed Schools. Farmer. "TCie Republicans are cir culating a letter to Pritchard from a lawyer named Edmunds, in which he says the amendment is unconstitution al. Who is Edmunds? Business Man. "Judge Edmunds is a Vermont lawyer who used to be in the United States' Senate and has al ways been a bitter enemy of the South. He is the same man that a few years ago made a big speech in Washington in favor of mixed schools. He strenu ously argued that the laws of the South providing for separate schools for the blacks and whites was uncon stitutional and ithat all schools sus tained by taxation would have to be mixed sclnojls. He con-tended that these laws providing for separate schools for the races were in violation of ithe fourteenth and fifteenth, amend ments, just as he contemfs that our amendment is in violation of thes? two articles of the United States Cjnstitu ticn, but the supreme court of the United States said that Mr. Edmunds wa3 talking through his hat, and that the South might liave separate schools for the whites and blacks. Judge Ed munds' letter, however, shows upon its face that he has not studied our am endment, and has given what the law yers call "a horseback oninio'a." It amounts to nothing compared with ; opinions givta by equally as able law- j yera a3 sie wia Lave studied the que-; tion." From ?5nverseilcn beiveeB a ; INBEN'TIVE TO EDUCATION. An Exampls P' me Army " v' t . x For many years the State of North Carolina has labored under the charge ol having a greater percentage of illit era-te whites within her borders than beta fastened on our people, and every I one iliotdd wish it removed. I Can something be done to rectify ! cunuuion or anatvs among us: K i has 'org been a favorite wish in North 1 Carolina to stump out illiteracy. For that purpose the old free schools were iWhIf? eyMT- cMld 1 might attend and gam tne rudiments i of an education. And rfnee the war j every legislature has been moved uy ! the purpose of stamping cut illitera- f cy, to favor public schools and make (.onstaEitly increasing appropiatioas for them. Tear after year the number of schools have been increased and the school fund has been augmented by greater taxes. That the cause- of edu cation has advanced admits of no ques tion; but still young men and young women fail in many neighborhoods to attend the schools and rtreain in irtter ignorance ! But now a measure is pioposed that . if carried out will put education in I North Carolina n a different footing. First, it will supply an incentive that will bring every white boy io the scnoci.s ana stir tn-eni up to be apt pu pils. Scm of them have no; cared to i Long a Kemedy is the only thing that learn in the past; but in the future, has done any good whatever. 1 have i hey will all wish to emerge from the used one bottle of it and the el ilia, illiterate clsws?.

"It is the one remedy ed revenue due to the steady and sub immediately brought ; that can always le depended noon, ! stantid increase cf business and children will be home to parents as never before. . ; And so it is plain that the number , cr pupns m tne scnoois win oegin at once to increase; anu mere win more schools and longer terms. me cause of education will take on a new interest and it will develop rapidly. The State having prescribed this edu cational qualification fcr the voters wilL be more in duty bound than ever to provide schools and school teachers for the pupils. There is no other pub lic expenditure that yields such a re turn to the S'ate as the school fund. It is expended at home. It is evenly scattered throughout the State, and every neighborh xd has its share and has its benefits. It educates the young and lifts them up to the level of hon est citizenship. After the amendment pas.fi all will agree that every dollar possible srhall be spent in providing ed ucation and in making the public schools more beneficial to the children. The Children Heaven help them : They s-hall have all that we can give them ! It is greatly to be deplored chat any of them have grown up in ignorance. School facilities have been furnishel, net such as will be offered hereafter; but still measurably adequate. The cause of failure has been at home. The ; children have ben untaught -in part ; because of a lack of sufficient incen tive. But this new measure, this con stitutional amendment, will supply the incentive. Sometime ago we ni: with an inci dent that illustrates this. The army of Egypt was so ignorant that the of ficers had to rely almost entirely on civillian clerks to do all their writing, and these clerks thus exerted a great influence on army matters. To remedy that the Khedive ordered that no f- nctr snoum oe prom eti uui, unless he could read and write; and that no fur- .could not read and write, lmmeuiat-- i,.-.,-. ly the array became a camp of instruc-' der from which he suffered excruciat ticn. and in one year chere were only iDgpain for ten days, which was re-fcrty-five men in the whole Egyptian lieved with two applications of Pain army who could not read and write. Balm, rubbing the porta tfnictel and Such was the result of a powerful; realizing instant benefit Dd entire re stimulus. The incentive provided 1X j lief in a very j-hort time.

The parents at ncme w uui be able to keep them at home- from school, even if they should be so dl posed. And as the State will supply better : schcol facilitits and make more liberal! anurODriations man ever, meie vmi no lack of opportunity. If then the con-, titutianal amendment is a Pteed-. , ucation will le auvanced bj it moie , ,..., d 1e aorie bv any other means in time remove from our State the stig-, ma of illiteracy that we all so greatly I deplore.

Women squeezed and elbowed and shoved to get alongside the coun ter. Frequently two of them happened to pick up the same bargain at one Rnd the same time, and then they both retained their clutch on it and looked daggers at each other until the strong er of the two won the victory or the bargain was rent into ribbons. A haughty matron with an electric seal coat picked up a box containing three cakes of soap for 8 cents at the same moment a bumble-looking little wom an in a. faded tan coat had fastened her grasp on the box. "I believe I was the first to take hold of this," said the matron in the electric seal coat, freez ingly. The humble-looking little wom an held on for a minute, studying her antagonist, then she slowly relaxed her hold on the box. "Well, you can have it," she said, amiably. "You look as if you need the soap." The bargain counter is the place to observe how they love one another- Twice Proven. I 'iitdit-tifor, Hufher'trdfoH , ; Fro, it X.

The budget provides for raiding 33.ihhs.0O0 pounds ($175,000,000) by bond or stock?, re payable within ten years, and shows a deficit for the coming year estimated at 37.000,000 pounds. The Chanced r.r of the Exchequer announced that the country had to face a total estimated expenditure, in consequence of the war of no less than six times as much a-. had been estimated in October las:. -He explained the various reason which led to the early introduction of the budget, including a "de;ire to af ford both our adversaries and foreign work in wnicn we '&re ngaged.' critics proof of our earnestness m t.i He deit with satisfaction oa tho increase in the acrnal nvpr rhe Mrima:- pointed out that as the increase in the Talje and volume of foreign experts had been quite exceptional, it was not t the exD?nse of home industries.
