One of the most unjustly treat ed in this way was E. Spencer Black burn, assistant United States district attorney for" this district. The follow-; ing letter is from Mr.1 Blackburn: ... T" nt aI Vk ' Editor News ana oDserver, rvaiciSn, N. C. : Dear Sir: On the 28th of February, 1900, I talked for a short time at iNew ton, N. C, on the proposed constitu tional amendment, an tne morning oi March 4, Sunday, the News ana ob server, through its correspondent, re ported me as using the following lan guage, his luck with Mr: the-slot maphinel ; Simmons' ballot-in- aj 4c : 'nr. r yrhe returning .sitprs: from Flida who are pouring1 Into Asheville will please judge us 'by the weather of the first half of the present week."

It was no more tnan mignt have been expected. Then drawing' himself to his height he shouted, 'North Carolina democrats may take warning from the fate of "Willi'am; Goebel.'." This I denied in Winston on March Monday, in the Daily Sentinel, which' denial I have never seen copied In any other democratic newspaper. If you feel that you have had suffi cient time fo comment on my reported remarks and give general publicity to them, as well as afford Mr. Simmons an opportunity to (make what capital he could out of them already, will you grant me the privilege at thfs late day PHILIPPINE PROSPECTS: General Joe Wheeler, just returned from the Philippines, avers that after the establishment of a wise civil gov ernment the islands will enjoy, an ejja. of unparalleled prosperity.

Democrats of this county are scared, and scared hadly. They are beginning to be anxious for democrats who oppose the amendment to keep quiet. A good, citizen who was here this week said he had been asked to say nothing till it couldi be explained to him.

News and Observer. Some days ago the newspapers en gaged in the Simmons disfranchising campaign quoted Attorney General Walser as favoring the proposed consti tutional amendment. The statement was untrue as the following letter shows: To the Editor of the Observer: My attention has just been called to the statement in the Charlotte Ob server that I would support the oe'" ing constitutional amendments I will thank you to state that I -will not sup port the constitutional amendment. Thanking you in advance for mak ing the correction, I am yours very truly, ZEB V. WALSER. Lexington, N.

The Gazette was informed! yesterday, on inquiry of an official at- the tax col lector's office, that nearly one-third of the taxes due in Asheville for 1899 are still unpaid. These taxes are distri buted among a great numher of resi dents, as the taxes paid are those of the large tax payers the wealthy cit izens. What is true of Asheville is doubtless true tend probably to a larger degree of the remainder of Buncombe county. Under the proposed constitu tional amendment, which will be adopted or rejected at the August election, a citizen who has not paid his poll tax on or before March 1 is dis- , franchised at the next occuring elec tion.. So under this constitutional amendment the "poor and ignorant" voter is between the Devil and the Deep Sea. If one doesn't get him the other pretty surely will.
