Watauga Democrat
Robert C. Rivers,
Editor ani Profbietob.
rHCRsDAY, Nov. 23,1899.
Again we gi ve spare in t his
issue for another letter from
our friend W. A. Harraan.
and we do this cheerfully, as
we firmly believe that when
our friend pees hia error he
will be willing lo come out
and cast his lot with the in
vincible forces of the great
governing race to which h
a ii d his ancestors belong,
nhosecouruge, wisdom and
patriotism have built up the
grandest commonwealth the
sun in its circuit ever cast its
rays upon. The only fear
that our friend seems to have
is thnt the illiterate white
man will be disfranchised,
nud it is perfectly proper thnt
this should be fully disscuss
ed and understood, for we do
not believe that there is a sin
gle democrat in North Caro
lina who would not shed his
blood before one single white
native born man in the State
should be disfranchised wheth
er he can read and write or
not, for this class of our fel
low citizens art by instinct
and training through a long
succession of centuries imbu
ed with the just principles of
elf government, and had
been taught around the fire
ide, free from contact with
the affairs of government, to
know how to cast their votes
for the best interest of t h e
jxtople. Hence, the Legisla
ture in framing the amend
ment has protected the rights
of this class to vote in Sec. 5
of the act, which provides
that no mate person who was
on January the 1st, 1867, or
at any time prior thereto, en
titled to vote under the laws
of any State in the United
States, wherein he then resi
led, and no lineal descend
ant of any such person shall
be denied the right to regis
ter and vote at any election
1n this State by reason of his
failure to possess the educa
tional qualification prescrib
ed in Sec. 4 of this art icle, pro
vided he shall have register
ml prior to Dec. 1, 1908, S
yon will friend, if you will
read the amendment careful
ly, that all men whose ances
tors were voters before 1867,
fin vi nuw n "i v i vinivi ru jm i
MsJ Mr Y r mmttf !ArSutalul Tft
or to 190S, can vote wheth
er be can read and write or
not, and all who becomes of
age by that time may also
register and vote, but as to
those coming of age after
that time, they must posses
the qualifications set forth in
Sec. 4. This is the plain, un
varnished truth. Section 4 is
qualified by Sec. 5, and all
must stand or fall together.
But if theamendmentisadof
ted we venture to say that it
will be a great epoch in our
bissory.lt will mark the time
when the old commonwealth
shall spring forward by leaps
and bounds up to the glory
crowned heights of an exal
ed citizenship. What an impe
tus to education. Not a com
pulsory school law but some
thing much better. The
cbools will be prosperous,
More money will be annually
.appropriated for their sap
port, and illiteracy will be
banished from the State, and
all this mighty transform a
tion will come to pass with
out disfranchising any white
' taan in North Carolina, un
signer. But some willsaj tha
His contrary to the Constj
tution of the United Statesj
nnd in conirovention of the
15th Aiiiendmert. It is not,
lor all can vote under the u
mendme.n, if passed, whose
father or grandfather could
vote before 1867. This takes
in the descendants of the
free negroes who could vote
before 1833.
You say in your letter that
you do not believe in negro
domination; that the republi
cans ought not toletnegioes
dominate their conventions;
that they ought not to in
vest any power whatever in
the negro to hold effice and
control our Btuteand county
offices in any way, and this
ought not to be tolerated in
any uarty. Now this is the
language of a patriot; the
language of onewithin whose
veins flows the rich red blood
of the glorious Anglo Saxon
race. But will our friend
please intorm a wilting pun-
m m i I
ic how the republican party
can help it? Thev dominate
he republican partv; they in
a great measure control the
republi?an party; they are
superior in numbers in the re
publican party; they cast
over two-thirds the vote of
the republican party in North
Carolina, then what can they
do? They are powerless to
do anything. It is this con
sideration that is moving a
great many of the wisest re
publicans in North Carolina
to come out openly and bold
y for the adoption of t h e
amend (dent. It is this con
sideration that makes every
Western man who comes to
North Carolina vote with the
democrats on State issues.
They know that the stream
annot rise higher than the
ountain, and thev know that
the fountain of power in the
Republican party in North
Carolina is the negro lace.
This is known of all men. The
records show it; the census
shows it; common sense beats
it into the brains of every
candid man to whatever par
y he may belong.
.Let us awake, awake! and
put this offense from us, and
march jo the glorious desti-
ttsran
Ask your physician this ques
tion, "What is the one great
remedy for consumption?"
He will answer, "Cod-liver
oil." Nine out of ten will
answer the same way.
Yet when persons have
consumption they loathe all
fatty foods, yet tat b neces
sary for their recovery and
they cannot take plain cod
liver oil. The plain oil dis
turbs the stomach and takes
away the appetite, The dis
agreeable fishy odor and
taste maks it almost unen
durable. What is to be done?
This question was ans
wered when we first made
of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypo
pho phitcs. Although that
wa: nearly twenty-five years
I ao, yd it stands alone to-
day the one great remedy
for ail auecuons of the throat
and Jungs.

ny that awaits us. Don't b)
afraid ol a government of
white mn in North Caroline,
for they have always been
the representatives of the
eternal principles of right.
They love justice, peace and
mercy. Through matchlets
vigilence, for thousands of
years they have built up this
mighty civilization. Shall we
let it retrograde? Shall we
be recorded by the tuture his

Trinity Notes.
I here is a decided increase
this year in the number of col
lege graduates who are ta
king advantage of the oppor
tunilies offered at Trinity for
moreaovanced work than is
done by the undergraduates.
There are fifteen of thpse this
year, while last year there
were only ix. All of them are
A. B. graduates exespt two
are graduates of the Greens
boro Female College. Nine of
this number are resident stu
dents, and the remaining six
are teachers in various
schools in the community.
The facilities for this kind of
work have been very much
improved in library equip
ments, scientific apparatus,
and the number of instruc
tors; and it is an encourag
ing sign that so many men
are availing themselves of
the opportunities. The pres
ence of these select men will
lift the standard of scholar-
shiD and htudent ideals of
learning, and will prove a
r
wholesale stimulant in the
college community.
The scientific Soeiety held
its first meeting Saturday ev
euing. Prof. IV gram lectured
on Electro-Chemistry. In a
very lucid way he presented
the subtile action of the vol-
talic cell and explained it as
an example of the theory of
solutions.
For the current year Prof
J.J. Ha maker was made
president, C. IV. Edwards
chniruwn ex. committee and
L. C. Nicholson, secretary.
On Monday evening Prof,
IVj:ram gave a lecture on
meteors and "star showers"
in general, explaining our
present visit from the Leon
ids. The talk waserjoyed b,y
a large audience.
Dr. Kilgo and Prol. Dur
ham will leaye the first of
next week to attend the Wes
tern North Carolina Confer
ence which meets at Concord.
The report which the Board
of Trustees make to the Con
ference this year will be most
gratifying to all the friends
of the Institution.
A number of new books
hove recently been added to
the library: Since last Feb
ruary there have been added
1,233 volumes, and 555 pam
phlets. The growth in the li
brary has made it absolutely

Zeb. V. Walser, Attorney
General for North Carolina
has rendered a decision in
which he holds thnt witness
es before the grand jury are
not entitled to pay for their
services unless a true bill is
found. It seems to us tha
this is a most unjust decision
and one that will be a grea
hardship to many of our peo
pie. If there is a law to com
pel i man to attend court as
t: witness before the grand j
13', there should be a law com
peling the county to pay him
for his services.
