U . . i-.. .- .a :k Watcmo-a .Tfcinnifat ;; TRcbert C. Rivers, EDrron and Proprietor. THURBnAY, Spt. 28, 1899. There is much stuff now be ing put in print by the rf pub hen n press of North Caroli na, towhing the proposed Constitutional amendment in the State.- Jt s ems that the burden of their effort is to make the illiterate white man : believe that he will be disfranchised under it work ? ings, and that to vote for the amendment simply means to be forever debarred from the election franchise. In one in stamewe notice that the Ashevi le Gazette, a republi can Kheet, claims to have in terviewed ex - Congressman Tom. Settle, who has some time since come out for the amendment, and has spread the news to the world thnt he (Settle) said that under theamendment the illiterate white man, as well as the il litterato negro, wouldforever be debarred from voting. As soon as the Gazette appear ed, burdened down with this false statement, the editor of the Asheyille Citizen had an interview with Mr. Settle, and he said that he had nev er authorized the Gazette to nee his name in connection Vith the amendment, and only told its editor that at tht proper time he would give him his views on the sub ject for publication. This on ly goes to showthedeception that is being used alrendr to defeat a measure that will sweep the Old North State from the mountains to the sea in the August election. Perhaps there h'a s never beejn such demonstrations over any American citizen, as those exhibied in New York yesterday on the arri val of Dewey, the hero of Ma nilla. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been expend ed in that city to give him a fitting welcome, and within her borders are thousands of homeless and helpless chil dren who are dependent up on the more fortunate for a meager living. Would it not have been well to have ex pen ded this vast amount of mon ey for their comfort, or to have provided for the fami lies of the so'diers who are fighting in the Philippines fceneath a torrid sun, for the small sura of $13. a month, instead of wasting it on a man who is receiving a salary from the government off 13 500 per antrum, nnd all be cause he succeeded in destroy ingafew wooden transports the property of the Spanish goverment? There is talk to th effect that Vice President Hobart is in such poor health that he will not be able to make the rpce with McKinley next year.! There wiil be much speculation as to who will take his place. The Ashevrlle Citizen asks, 'where is Priteh ard?' He is the only republi can Senator from the South, and is as big a man as Ho bart and a much better pol itieian. Col. Cowles, of States ville, suggests that Daniel L. Russell, who is now po sing as the Governor of N. C. would be a snitable run ning mate for McKinley next year.
