And Many Applicants Attempt to
Bun Cars on New Lines.
St. Louis, May 14. The police,- who
spent Sunday resting, were in. condition
to begin work today.
Early this morning the suburban, with,
three branches, and the Bellefontaine
commenced to run cars.
Chief of Police Campbell's advertise
ment for 2500 men to serve as emer
gency policemen caused a rush to the
old city hall. A large number -were
sworn in rapidly.
At 11 o'clock the usual number of
cars are being run over the three di
visions of the Suburban system, and a
number of cars on the following lines of
the Transit company are in operation:
LaClede, Bellefontaine, Oompton, Park,
Delrnar, Page and Spaulding. All but
the last three were in operatIn as
early as 6 o'clock, buit, owing to a
grounded wire on the main division of
of the Lindell division, the feed wires
on the main line of the Lindell divis
ion over which the Dehnar, Page and
Spaulding line cars run became ground
ed, and it was impossible to send ouit
cars as had been intended.

day set by the street car strikers to
compel their comrades to join them in
their fight against the Metropolitan
Street Railway company and great in

was said determined action would be
decided upon, but it is possible that a

with the usual regularity and no signs
of violence were apparent during the
early hours. The strikers had -said that
today they would pull the crews from
their trains if ifchey refused to strike,
and when asked about their apparent
indifference, replied with: "Wait until

I cannot afford to fold my hands and
hold my tongue, and in absolute indif
ference neglect or refuse to sound a
note of warning when I see danger ap
proaching any man, 'be he friend or
foe, if I am sure he is not awaxe of its
approach. I am quite sure I see a
most terrible danger now drawing
near. I am equally certain that some
others do not realize the danger they
are in. Not knowing, therefore, who
are and who are not informed, it is my
solemn duty to sound the alarm that
none may be overtaken by it.
"We are told that other states in the
! south have recently adopted new con
stitutions or amendments containing
the features of the amendment that
we in North Carolina are being urged
to adopt. It is the duty of a civilized
people, especially in a republican,
democratic land of liberty like ours to
conscientiously investigate and adopt
only such laws as will work no harm,
even if they do not bear beneficial re
sults. Some measures are sometimes
proposed which have not been tested;
the extremest caution should be exer
! cised in such cases, and every man
should satfefy himself beyond a reason
able doubt that no harm could come
from its adoption, if no good could, be
fore he votes for its adoption into our
laws. Some questions are also pro
posed which, though we have not our
selves tried, others have. We have an
opportunity then to compare the needs,
the peculiar conditions, which called
forth their adoption where they have
been tried, with our own needs and
conditions, and ascertain thereby as
nearly as possible, from the results of
their operation, what we may expect as
the natural results of their adoption
will be in North Carolina.
Fortunately for us, the operation of
this proposed amendment has been
tested, and what it will do is known.
Every test has shown practically the
same results, hence comparisons are
easy. I will cite but one.
The census of 1890 gives the males of
voting age in the state of Louisiana at
250,563. Of these 130,748 were white
and 119,815 negroes. Recently an
amendment, similar to that proposed in
our state, was aaoptea in .uauisiana..
Under this and regulated by their ma
chine election law similar to ours, they
held a state election on Tuesday, April
17, 1900. The results have been" tele
graphed to the world. The despatch in
every daily paper in this country, dat
ed April 21, 1900, gives us the important
news, which shows that every man
elected to any office anywhere in the
state, from governor down to Justices
of the peace, was a nominee of the
the white race, because we have a' larg
er proportion of whites than lias Xouis-
ana and while in Louisiana th'ev dis
franchise 103 white men to every 130 ne
groes, to apply the same rule in North
Carolina we will set aside 200 white men
to every 104 negroes.
.wow the question arises, where will
they find these 200.000 whita men and
the 104,000 neerroes to Liisfr.nhisp.?
The answer is they have been, preparing
wiem tor years. How? Why ar
ticle 1, section 27, of the state constitu
tion ueciares, "The peoole have the
right to the privileges of education, and
it is the duty cf the state to guard and
maintain that right." Have they done
it? Article 9, section 1. declares: "Re
ligion, morality and knowleuge being
necessary to good government and the
happiness ox mankind, schools and the
means of education shall forever be en
couraged. Where have they done it?
And article 9, section 3, says: "Each
county in the state shall be divided into
a convenient number of school districts
in which one or more schools shall be
maintained at least four months in ev
ery year, and if the commissioners of
any county shall fail to comply with the
aioresaid requirements of this section,
they shall be liable to indictment.
Have you had four months' schooling
in yuur district any year m the last
twenty-five, my countrymen? If eo,
where,-' when? how often? Have you
ever heard of a board of county com
missioners having been indicted -r
neglect of this plain, constitutional in
junction? Whoever knows an. instance
let him speak out.
Upon whom has and does the hard
ship of this flagrant and criminal refus
al and neglect to execute this, one of
the plainest and most important man
dates of our constitution if ilen? He
is so plainly marked and dwanea by
is withering, blighting, stunning influ
ence that his detection is not difficult.
Then let us make a search for him.
Is he in the city? No, not there. The
conditions are such that he could not
remain there. Conditions? What are
the conditions which make it impossi
ble for him to reside in the city? Why,
. we see in each city and town in the
state the very best of public schools
open nine months in each year, and ev
ery child in the city from the day he
is 6 till the day he is 21 for a period
of fifteen years has free access to these
schools absolutely free of cost. There
you will find the meet approved and
up-to-date appliances and teachers
thoroughly prepared, whose services
cannot be secured for less than $50 to
$150 per month. Examine the children
and you will find that every child with
a sound mind in a sound body which
has reached the age of 14 years, be he
rich or poor, white or black, male or
female.has a better book education than
four-fifths of the white farmers and
farm laborers in the rural districts.
This is why I say you will not find
the effects of this blighting curse in the
cities and towns of the state. You
ask, "Does this apply to the negroes?"
I answer, most assuredly it does, in ev
ery particular, as it does to tne white
race. Their schools are as good: their
per capita cost is the same, and their
terms as long as the white schools

At North Hominy and Glady's Branch
Saturday
Hon. D. M. Luther addressed the
citizen of North Hominy Saturday last
at Luther school house in the after
noon at 2 o'clock and the citizens of
North Hominy at Glady Branch school
house in the evening at 8 o'clock.
Both speakings were largely attend-
tended and especially that at Glady's.
One wagon alone rolled up with seven
teen voters therein. One or two of this
party had only avowed their allegi
ance to the republican, party the day
before. Many former democrats, who
were young men asserted that Mr.
Luther, as their old teacher, had never
deceived them or misrepresented any
thing to them and that they would rely
on his judgment and hone:ty and vote
against the proposed ame dment, and
one democrat at Gladys announced that
he would demand a division of time.
After Mr. Luther had concluded his
remarks he went to him and stated
that he would vote against the amenu
ment, that he was a "white man but
not a white negro" declaring that he
would never vote for a measure that
would lower him to the level of a ne
gro." These two speeches were the
speeches of Mr. Luther's li"e. He
seemed to speak almost by inspiration,
being surrounded by friends of his boy
hood and his own relatives. Glady
has an amendment club of large mem
bership that A'ill speak in toes of
thunder at the ballot box in August.
At the conclusion of Mr. utaer'3
speech at Luther's school Louse a oRb
was organized with R. V. Evans,
president; J. P. Sharp, Jr.. vioe presi
dent; S. J. Luther, secretary, and
Captain R. A. Jones, corresponding
secretary. Between thirty and foty
men enrolled as members.
The result of Mr. Luthe-s visit to
South and North Hominy vll be real
ized on the counting of the billots on
August 2. It was a gala day for the
liberty loving people of old Hominy
valley. The waters of Jordan are be
ing disturbed, and we hear the cy
from Macedonia, "Come over and help
us," and our citizens are responding to
this cry.
Our citizens of the rural districts
have been aroused from their lethargy
and put on the whole armor of true war
riors and have entered this battle for
liberty and will not be dashed by red
shirts or deceived any longer by dem
ocratic false promises. Well has it
been said "Eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty."

The disfranchised may be stated, white

is not far from correct and shows that
for every 130 negro voters who were dis
franchised 103 white voters had to come
down to their level and walk out v 'xh
them.
From these deductions we can uraw
some conclusions as to what the result
will be in North Carolina, especially
since the result in Louisiana is'eo
nearly the same as they have shown up
in other states where they have some
what similar laws in force, and with
similar election machinery which will
do as much to disfranchise voters as
the amendment itsetf win or can ao.
If we add 24 per cent, to the number
of men of voting age in North Carolina
in 1890 as we did for Louisiana we
find the number of voting age in the
state now to be, in round numbers,
white 271,000, negroes 135,000; total 406,
000. Supposing the same per cent, of
voters show up in North Carolina that
appeared in Louisiana last election,
then you will count a few less than
102,000 votes. Now deduct the total
vote you will count, say 102,000, from
the number of men of voting age 406,
000 and you will find the number of
disfranchised to be 304,000. We have
found 'that there cannot possioly be
more than 135,000 negro voters in- North
Carolina, and that it is quite liKeiy tnat
at least 31,000 of -these are qualified to
vntp as Der the proposed amendment.
This will leave 104,000 negroes disfran
chised. Now subtract tnese lv.wo ne
trrnps from the total 304,000 .disfran
chised voters and v. you will find, the
TMrTnbAT- tt disfranchised whites wHI be
200 000. -Thus we..; find, that; v in North
Carolina the result-ill bear-heavier, on
nreDared also to stand the test of the
educational restrictions of the proposed
amendment? Most certainly so, sir.
Then if this be true that the -amend
ment will not disfranchise the city
white man nor the- city negro, where
txHri i find thft 250.000 white men SJia-
the 104,000 negroes to deprive of their

EXPERIMENTS MADE WITH FOOD
A certain professional woman in New
Vork. connected with one of the large
institutions there, has had a curious ex
perience with an experiment in using
a certain kind of food. It seems that
in October last she had a serious ill
ness and was at the point of death, the
brain and body in the last stages of ex
haustion. Her remarkable experience
with the food was brought to the atten
tion of the makers by some of her
friends, and, in reply to a letter, she
wrote as follows:
"T have no obiection to the public
knowing of the wonderful transforma
tion my system has undergone by the
se of Grape-Nuts since wovemuci,
1899. I began using tne iooa wu wu
vstlescing and when in an exceedingly
low condition. And used a smaii qua.i
tity and became so fascinater with tne
flavor that I gradually discontinued
nearly all other food, including tea wiv
coffee.

There Is a reason. The makers of
Grape-Nuts select1 certain parts of the
grains of the field that contain delicate
paricles of phosphate of potash and al
bumen. These elements, when com

to rebuild the gray matter in the brain
and nerve centers of the body.
