Watauga Democrat. Rcbcrt C. Rivers, Eihtok and Proprietor. It has been, nd still is, our intenrkn to give spare 1o sliort niticlestouchingthe Constitutional amendment, wbh subject i now para mount to hIi others in North Carolina, ha on its success or defeat depends thelibertiesof the white people within her borders. We repeat, that it is just and right for this mat ter, in all phases, to he dis cussed in public print, lor, if it is wrong, we, with thou sands of other North 6aroli ans, are anxious to know it, but let UR'say right here that it will be hard to make any one believe that any white man, be he learned or illiter ate, will he debarred from the election franchise by its work 1ngs, or that nearo suprem acy in North Carolina should be perpetuated. But to the point. From time to time we have been publishing some strong anti-amendment ar ticles by Wiley A, Harman, which we gladly did, but now we hayebefore us another ar ticle from the same scribe of considerable length, that is nothing more or less than a rehash of the matter contain ed in the former letters, and with the best of feelings foi our correspondent ne most politely decline to publish any more matter for him until he can get some new ideas on the subject, at which time we will be ready to give them publicity. Some of the republican pa pers in North Carolina have taken the privilege of copy ing someanti-atnendment ar tides that have appeared in our columns, crediting the same to the Democrat, with out publishingourcomments that have always gone out with those articles, thus put ting us on record as being a gainst the amendment. The papers, to be sure, have the right to copy the articles if they wish, but we would be glad for them to state that the sentiment contained there in are entirely in opposition to those of the Democrat. for it will fight to u finish for white supremacy in North Cur olina, and always be found ready to denouce us false the pie eater's cry that the illiter ate white man will be disfran chised. The scheming republi can politicans are playing on this string, not because of their sympathy for the illiter ate whites, but for the sake of again riding into power in North Carolina by the aid of the negro vote. Only this and nothing more. The case of Brigham Rob erts, Congressman-elect from Utah, is causing quite a sen sation in congress these days. His case, with all the peti tions, evidence, etc., touch ing it, is in the hands of a committee, and from present indications he will never be allowed bis seat. Our syrupa thies have all the while been with Roberts, but if the char ges of polygamy, unlawful co habitation, etc. be true, he is indeed a vile wretch and to seat him in the halls of Con gress would be a blot on our government. But it seems to us .that the proper time to have defeated him was at the polls. V-..o ! Memory of Hardin Baldwin. Died at hiH home at Blow ing Kock on the morning of Dec. 5, 489, Hardee Bald win. HfHrdee was about four teen years old and lived with hiH uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Will Austin. He was ill leu than forty-eight hours, and very few of the neighbors knew of his sickness; none knew or thought he was dun tterously ill, and his death was a great shock to all. He was a most excellent boy; had many friends and had few, if ny, enemies. He was one of those brighc, cheer ful fellows, whom yon are al ways glad to see, ar he ever came with"a smile and when he left you were sure to ask him to come apain. He was good and kind to all, and a favorite with his playmateB. He was honest, truthful and trusty. In his death Blowing Rock loses a useful, noble boj, and there is a vacant choir ar ound the fireside and a void inthehearts at home that none enn fill. He will be miss ed by many, but by none more than (except in his im mediate home) than by this poor Rcribe, who writes this humble tribute to his memo ry. Althoug the day was cold and bleak, a goodly number of his friends and relatives followed his remains to the grave and theremingled their tears together. We cannot now understand why one so youn, so kind, with such bright prospects should he taken from us, but we sorrow not, for we know that whatsoever our Heav enly Father dyeth is for the best, and that all will be re vealed in the great hereafter. Then let us dr? our tears and try so to live that we may meet Hardee in that world where there is no more death. "And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me write blessed are the d jad who die in the Lord, from henceforth snyeth the spirit, yea, thnt they may rest from their n bors, and their works do fol low them." C. J. B. Blowing Rock, Dec. 8. If so, there must be some trouble with its food Well babies are plump i only the sick are thin. Are you sure the food is all right 7 Chil dren can't help but grow; they must grow if their food nourishes them. Perhaps a mistake was made in the past and as a result the di- gejtion is weakened. If that so, don't give the baby a lot of medicine t just use your every-day common sense and help nature a little, and the way to do it is to add half a teaspoon ful of SCOTT'S EMULSION to the baby's food three or four times a day. The gain will begin the very first day you give H. It seems to correct the digestion and gets the baby started right again. If the baby is nurs ing but does not thrive, then the mother should take the emulsion. It -will have a good effect both upon the mother and child. Twenty five years proves this fact ac. and if.oo. .11 drarrfas. ' SCOTT & BOWNE. Chemt, Kew Tort . I MM HII "HI iil"-MI mill ftWI Utter from BladfA, S C. Seeing nnch h nice letter in your last issue Irorn Rev. I. W.tThomns, of our county, induces me to w rite a f e w items from this section.

If I am the man referred to, it was not the fear of danger thar caused me to dismiss, but it is well known by my neigh bors and school patrons that I am in bad health and am teaching near five miles from home; have four motherless children left at home and no one with them, some of them being small I expected they would be frightened if ary thing unusual should occur, so I wanted to be at lone with them on that night and not being able to go back and forth so much, I stopped unui neniipsnay. inis ac counts for why my. school stopped. E. N. Miller. Another negro, Dick Cole man, was burned alive Ht Maysville Ky. on Dec 6th, for the murder of Mrs Rush- brook. This lynching busi ness is the blackest stain on Columbia's fair name. Pres. McKinley has again repealed h g ideas on this subject in his message to Congress. He says, "1 hat lynching must not be tolerated in a great and civilized nation like the D. S. Courts and not mobs must execute the penalties of the law." Thisscems to be just and right. Miss Kate Halley, of Laurel Hill, Richmond county, died Saturday night of typhoid fever at the State Normal and Industrial CoHege. Hers made the eighth death fiom the fever since the epidemic be gan. John I. Blair, one of the richest men in the United States, died at his home in BIairston, N. J. Saturday night, after an illness of hp v. eral years. He was 97 years old, and left $60,000,000.
