Address all communications to THE ROANOKE BEACON, ' Plymouth. N. C. Refehuing to some Republican criticism of ex-Congressman Settle for haying announced his intention to. support and vote for the consti tutional amendment, the Asheville Citizen put3 the following pertinent question ; "If Tom SettK white, is au "in grate," as asserted by the subsidized morning Gazette, because he has left the negro in the present light for civilization and advancement, in North Carolina and is standing with his own color, that eheet will confer a public favor by properly designa ting the white man who leaves his own race in this contest and stands with the negro." J ; This, while it involves politics, is not a mere political question. Poli tics is the least important factor in it. . It means the longest stride yet taken in the direction of solving the race problem, promoting harmony between the races and the peace and prosperity of the State. The adop tion of the amendment will remove . the great cause of friction between the races, relegate the unprincipled office-hunters and evil counsellors of th'a negroes, and leave the negro free to pursue the course that will lead to his own betterment,, undistracted by political contentions which he does not understand and by which his race has never profited. The white man who would put obstacles in the way of the consum mation of ihis, is not only no friend of the negro but he is an enemy of his State and a traitor to his own yace.-Wil, Star.
