We have too much confidence in the patriotism of the white men of North Carolina and too mueh re spect for their intelligence to permit ourgelTeB to doubt that i they will ratify the constitutional amendment when they are called to render their decision at the polls, but we realize on the other hand that we are con fronted by wily and unscrupulous party leaders who will resort to any thing to defeat it. If it were simply a contest between the white voters it would be practically no contest at all, for the vote for it would be to all intents and purposes solid, but thefe are in round numbers 120,000 negro voters and it is with, these that their white leaders hope i to defeat the amendment and perpetuate the franchise of the mob, the vile and the vicious with the weil-meaning and intelligent as few and far be tween as they are. As experience has taught us how this black mass can be manipulated and controlled by the whte bosses, how they can be solidly voted against anything these bosses tell them to vote against, we must be prudent and by united effort and harmoni ous action foil them in their schemes to defeat the will of the white peo ple with the votes of the black. There is only one way they can do this, and that will be the result either of overconfidence among the white people which may prevent as close organization and industrious work as we should have and the systematic efforts to enlighten those who may not comprehend, or may be in doubt, or may have been mis informed, as many have been, as to the intent and scope of the pro posed amendment. Yesterday we quoted part of a statement by Chas. B. Aycock, our candidate for Gov ernor, in which he called attention to the only danger and gave a warn ing thus: "I could hear of no Democratic dis affection anywhere in the West, but I did observe a disposition to regard our success as altogether too certain. I am impressed with the necessity of a more careiui ana systematic organization and detailed work. The tide is un doubtedly our way and Republicans are without enthusiasm, but their lead ers are determined to make an active campaign. It is, therefore, of the up permost importance that the local or ganizations in every precinct take pains to inform every voter of the real meaning of the amendment When ever this is done the voter has no im mediate personal interest against us and is certain to vote with us. " I Over-confidence, resulting in in action, has defeated Democrats in elections in this State. We have known counties to be lost when we could call by name voters enough to have saved them, voters who never voted anything but the Demo- ocratic ticket when they did vote, but who felt ,so confident of victory that they didn't consider it neces- I iney uiuu b consider it neces sary or worth while to go to the polls and never realized the neces sity of their, votes until the ballots were counted and it was discovered that , the Democrats had lost, and then! these over-confident, stay-at-home Democrats ' felt like hiring soma able-bodied fellow to take them out and kick them. j The results involved in this elec-1 tion are altogether too momentous to permit us to take the chances of over-confidence or run the risk of defeat by failure to take due pre caution against surprises, and to exer cise due diligence not. simply for victory but for such an overwhelming victory that there may be no ground for doubt or cavil, or for charges of fraud. : We want a vic tory whiah will not only mean the triumph of the white man but one backed by such a majority as will give it a moral significance, one to Bhow that the white men of North Carolina are practically a unit, and' thus duly impress not ' only the leaders of the negroes but the negroes themselves with the unquestionable fact that this is and must remain a white man's country. There is work enough for us all to do in this, and glorious work, too, in which every white man who is proud of North Carolina and loves her as a loyal son should love her, should take a zealous interest and filial pride. It is a contest to determine not who- or what party shall rule for the coming four years, but : whether the white man or the negro is to be the power that rules, and shapes the destiny of our mother State. This is the issue and this thought should fill every white man with a holy zeal and a fixed determination to spare no effort to rescue North Carolina once and forever from the impending peril or possibility of negro domination. It does not matter whether the white voter lives in a county or sec tion of the State where the negroes are comparatively few and do not figure materially as a political power, for every white man who loves North Carolina is interested in her, and negro domination in one section is virtually negro domination in all, and whether or not, "blood is thicker than water," and when it comes to going for or against his own race, then the blood that courses through his veins demands that he should stand with his own race, as the ne groes do, not simply because his race is white but because his race is the only one fit to rule themselves or others and because their rule means peace, prosperity and happiness for North Carolina, better rule for white and black alike, a better feel ing between the races, because there will be less friction, less cause for race conflicts, snd this in itself is a "consummation devoutly to be wished" and worth struggling for if there were nothing else to be gained. There is work for all, a grand and a glorious work for every true, white son of North Carolina. AN OBJECT LESSON IN" CO-OPE- BATIOV. As an illustration of what co-operation will do when directed by good sense and business methods we clip the following from the Atlanta Con stitution: 'Oar readers cannot have missed a news story from Borne printed in the Constitution concerning the success of a co-operative venture in that city. Two years .ago the molders in a local foundry went upon a strike, with ' the usual prospect of a long lock-out and the loss of both time and cause. Happily one of the men met Hon. John J. Seay, a prominent and respected citizen, who asked the simple question: "Why work for another when j you can work for yourselves just as well.' It was like the rising of the sun, driving darkness oeroreit. Why not? The Question lin gered. It was repeated to the other men, and they called upon Mr. Seay to una out wnat ne meant, any how. The result was the organization of a co-op-' erative foundry, the work of which will bear repetition and studp. Every stock-: holder is a worker in some capacity, . but there are only two salaried officers. ' The plant was capitalized at $20,000 and only 10 per cent was called for at the outset A large part of the stock was paid for by the molders in labor in the: building of the plant Some worked. a a wvtAw. 4 a M. i i ma wu fGUhorB, BUUiO U CUHILUOH i&DOT- ers. So a large building was erected in North ! Borne, and orders booked: months ahead for all of their product i At the first annual meeting a dividend of $30 per share was declared, and at the second annual meeting held last night a dividend of $37.35 per share was declared, and thecaDitalization in creased from $20,000 to $30,000: and this concern has been the salvation of some of . the men molders now near life meridian, who, though always making good salaries, had never saved a cent but under present conditions are well fixed: They have lived well and comfortably, have their stock paid up, and are getting a magnificent dividend. All of the molders own from $500 to $1,000 in stock. A. Handle, a council man from the fourth ward, is superin tendent of the workers. 'If the men had been able to buy quantities of pig iron while prices were lower, their profits would have been greater. "Mr. Seay has lost no money by his suggestion to these men. In lending them the benefit of his business knowl edge he has built no excellent friend and neighbors, and has furnished a lesson to men of his class in other towns, who seem to be at a loss to mow what to do. One of the greatest and most im posing object lessons presented any where in this country is in the city of Charlotte, where not more than twenty years ago there was but one cotton mill, and that only for spin ning yarn, and wherer there are now fourteen or fifteen. The people of that city started building mills on the co-operative plan, and now they have not only their own home mills but own a controlling interest1 in a hundred mills in the surrounding counties. : ) When this co-one rat.iv. mm ing began Charlotte was a town of seven or eiirht thousand r.i- ; seven or eight thousand people, if so many, while now she has a popu lation of 25,000 or more. If her people had not caught on to the co operative idea the probabilities are xnat nariowe would still be a cot- I ton trading station, with a Donula- I tion not more than half what she has now. Mighty results are possi ble . when - people think totretw work together and help each other. - -o AMERICAN COTTON GOODS ABROAD. There has been much, talk lately about finding foreign markets for American cotton goods, - and also some speculation, in view of the rapid increase of cotton mills in the South, as to the danger of overdoing the cotton-manufacturing business. At the recent meeting of the New England Cotton Manufacturers' As sociation, in Boston, an address-.' delivered by Dr. W. P. Wilson, Director of the Philadelphia Com mercial Museum, which presented some interesting facts and figures, showing the subordinate position this country holds as an exporter of cotton goods,, although it produces over three-fourths of the world's out put of cotton. Last year the United States ex ported $23,000,000 worth of cotton goods, while little Swit zerland, which is so small and so modest that but little is heard of her, exported $25,000,000 worth, and Great Britain, which buys most of . her raw' cotton from us,, exported $328,000,000 worth. If we deduct from the $23,000,000 exported the cost of the cotton goods imported the amount to our creait on exports wouia be very materially reduced. It is only within the past few years, however, that earnest effort has been made to enter foreign markets, even those in neighboring countries, where from proximity and other reasons we ought to lead. Until it began to be a matter of necessity our manufacturers seemed to be content with the home market and when that became overstocked they reduced production until the surplus stock was worked off. . But with the increase in the number of mills this course had to be abandoned as involving too much loss of time and m6ney and foreign markets be came a necessity. But the fact that Great Britain, which imports the bulk of her cotton from this' country, can export $328, 000,000 worth annually, shows the possibilities there are in the cotton manufacturing business, and the little danger there is of overdoing it. The world must have the goods, and more every year, in accordance with the ability of people to buy and pay for what they buy, so that it is sim ply a question as to who can furnish the world's needs at the lowest price. Surely American millers should be able to successfully com pete with the English millers, and snatch a good many millions of their trade away from them. As this coun try is the world's cotton producer, it ought to control the cotton goods trade and have the larger part of it. Artist Rehn, who occupies a room on the tenth floor of one of the New York hotels, is so stuck on it after a trial of sixteen years, during which time he has paid $16,980 rental for it, that he has just concluded a lease for 48 years at a rental of $1,000 a year. By the time the lease expires the to tal rental for the term of occupancy will amount to $67,840. As he is now something i over 40 years old, he doesn't expect to have use all that time for "Spion Kop," as the hotel boys call his lair, but thinks his children and grand children might like to frolic around among the souvenirs he will leave. If that Philadelphia woman who attempted suicide because she was growing bald had read the papers she would not have tried to get away with herself for such an insufficient reason as that. She would have bought some of that never-failing hair-propelling stuff and revelled in a luxuriant top growth that would have made the circus Caucasian girl green with envy. Some Philadel phia women are so behind the times. CURRENT COMMENT. "Exit Quay!" writes an editor as a head for a leader. Wait a wee!

It is not possible to contra dict every lie spread abroad by the fellows who make news when they cannot find any; but, it is safe to say that the talk from Washington about the Government's determi nation to enforce its demand on Turkey for $90,000 by inaugurating a war, is false from beginning to end. Brooklyn Citezen, Dem. The Democratic National Convention will consist of 990 dele gates. Under the two-thirds rule Mr. Bryan will need 620 votes to nominate him. Already is possible to count 520 votes for him "dead sure," with the 300 others almost as sure. If the nomination should not be made by acclamation it would probably be because the delegates desired the pleasure of voting by roll call. Savannah News', Dem. No Right T TJglineaa.

A Story of Inseraoll mud a Artist Who Caricatured Him. A New Orleans artist tells this interest ing little story of the late Colonel Rob ert G. Ingersolhj "Over 20 years ago, when I was a boy between 14 and 15, Colonel Ingersoll Iwas creating great ex citement among the devout by bis first assaults on orthodox religion. I always had a knack for pen and ink sketching, and1 one day I drew a cartoon represent ing the great agnostic registering at the Hotel de Inferno.j The devil was behind the desk as clerk hnd was supposed to be saying: 'Front! Make up a nice bed of coals in No. 114 for Colonel Insrersoll!' "Without telling anybody of It for fear of being laughed at I sent this not over brilliant production to the New York Daily Graphic, which was then at the tenith of its career as 'the only illustrat ed daily in the world.' -My father sub scribed for The Graphic, and you may well believe that 1 scanned it with fever ish interest every! evening when it arriv ed at our home. Finally, after the lapse of a couple of weeks, I was struck dumb one day to see my cartoon on the front page. It had my name in bold letters across the corner, and I am certain there was no prouder or happier boy in the whole country. I never got any pay for the drawing, but-1 basked in local fame and was fully satisfied. "It so happened about a month later that Colonel Ingersoll came to town to deliver his then famous lecture on The Mistakes of Moses,' and he was standing in front of his hotel chatting with some gentlemen when; I passed by and was pointed out as the author of the recent cartoon in The Graphic. " 'What! that ! boy!' exclaimed Inger soll. 'Call him over.' I . "They did so, and when I was told that the jovial, portly stranger was really tbe redoubtable agnostic whom I had pictur ed in the infernal regions I was ready to sink with embarrassment. Colonel Inger soll observed my confusion and put me at my ease by declaring the cartoon had amused him immensely. Then he inquired kindly what instruction I was receiving in drawing and ended by sending to his room for a copy of his printed lectures, which he presented to me, after writing his name on the fly leaf. "I was a grown man when I met him, again and must have changed greatly. bnt he gave me a quick, keen look whea we shook hands and asked me whether we had not encountered before. 'I seem to have you associated with something he said, 'some incident, I cannot remem ber what.' The episode was rather awk ward to recall, so I made an evasive re ply and after chatting a moment passed on." New Orleans Times-Democrat. Tbe Touchstone of Amiability. Is there any woman who cannot be amiable? Do not understand me to mean the forced sweetness that degen erates into flattery. Such aa attitude is unworthy. The first definition of "amia ble" given in the dictionary is "worthy of love." To be worthy of love we must get ourselves into right relationship with the world. Love begets love, and the woman who would be amiable in tbe highest sense must learn to love her fel low man. : She should seek out the older people and find what delightful com panionship she has hitherto missed. If she will sympathize with the younger boys and girls, she can be most helpful in their affairs of heart and ambition. Tbe love affair of Jack of 21 and Betty of 18 may seem to her foolish in the light of her larger, deeper experience, but she should remember her own life story and bring some of the great tenderness which seeks for an outlet to the unraveling of their tangled skeins of perplexity.

THE COTTOtf SITUATION Stock Smallest on Record Since 1890 Wbco Cotton Sold at 12 Cents. By Telegraph to the Moraine star NEW York, May 1. Messrs. Pricp, McCormick & Co., in their circular, issued to day, say: T. The stock at ail the United Stales ports is reduced this evening to 400,000 bales, against 500.000 on the 21st of April; or a net loss! of 100 000 bales in ten days. Alloying 60,000 bales 011 shipboard not cleared and 40,000 baits overestimate in ibd New York stock, the net stock is reduced to about 300, 000 bales. " These; figures are the smallest on record since 1890. cotton sold at 12f cents per pousfi. Tbe present consumption is ou per cent, greater than in 1890, The bears here are vainly selling paper contracts in an effort to force the Southern holders of their small remnant of cotton to part with it at a decline in value, but their operations cannot have, any very pro nounced effect as long as those who hold the actual cotton recognize the unprecedented strength of the situa tion, f Price MoCormick & Co.
