it was not by any direct word
or uut oi hers, or of any one
else, thai we established her
identity. She is modest and
unassuming, as all good and
useful women are. When we
stopped to enjoy the sweet
songs of birds, she did not
say. It was t who said of
them; "Space is their dwell
ing place and color their her
itage." When we talked a
bout. the fishes, she did not
say, It was J who said of
them, "The stoim is the an
gel who stirs their pool am
brings life to the inhabitants
of the deep." When we play
ed with a toad by the wayside,
she did not say, It was I who
said of the frogs, "They trust
mother nature to see the lit
tle tadpoles through the pe
rils of childhood," and when
the'deer was mentioned, she
did not say, It was I who
said, "Seeds may grow for
the birds, grain and fruit for
the other creatures, but the
food of the IjttKifawn comes
only with the sweet mystery
of motherhood.

The condition o f North
Carolina, should the amend
ment to the constitution fail
tofbe adopted, would indeed
be horrible. All the states in
the south that have a heavy
negro vote, have enacted
laws for the purpose of elini
inating the negro from poli
tics, and should North Caro
lina fail, what would be the
suit? We would have, nat
nrally, an influx of negroes
rom South Carolina, Louis
iana, Mississippi, Georgia,
and, in fact, from all the oth
er states, into North Carolina
that would fill her from cen
ter to circumference witn a
horde of hungrv coons seek
ing protection within our
borders that Would be a last
ing disgrace to the Stateand
a menace to the Anglo Sa sons
here. We know nothing of
negro rule in western North
Carolina, out let this meas
hre fail, and we will, too late
to amend it, be overridden
by insolent and corrupt ne
I .a
gioes, who win come even tc
our murth loyed Watauga,
asking for office and power;
nhould their numbers be suf
ficient, our county offices will
be filled by negroes. This is
no scare crow, but an actual
fact, and Reserves the most
serious consideration of ev
ery white voter in Watauga
county. .Defent the amend
ment, and the negro gets full
control in North Carolina.
These arestubborn facts, and
thetppo8ition to the amend
ment well know it. Listen
not to their deceptive argu
mentsthat are made only
for the purpose of adding
sheckles to the store of office
holding and office-seeking re
publicans, but think bryour
selves, and when you do that,
North Carolina i s forever
wrenched fiom the bands of
the necrro party. These are
the conditions.
