TEE COLORED KICKERS-
There is some difference of opinion
as to the wisdom of the action of
the late Republican convention in
forcing the negro out of the part
nership for the purpose of taking in
the "commercial" Democrats who
might think there was something in
it for them. There are some (but
they are those who are not well ac
quainted with North Carolina men)
who think it was a clever play, but
it wasn't. The fact is it was a sort
of a last card with men who had
been playing a losing game for
years and who had doubtless come
to the conclusion that whatever the
result of the play might be it would
not leave them in a much worse
condition than they have been. It
was either bounce the negro or
dicker with some one else, and
since the Populist party has gone to
pieces there was nothing left to
dicker with. If there had been
they would have tried the dicker
game and let the colored brother
continue to hang on to the band
wagon.
Perhaps it may not be called a
foolish move because even with the
negro vote, without a large contin
gent from the white voters of the
State, they had no hope of accom
plishing anything, and therefore
they took the chance of largely in
creasing that contingent, and possi
bly encourging independent move
ments among the Democrats by
eliminating the negroes, assuming,
as they did, that it was the negro in
the Republican party that made the
white vote so practically solid against
it. Taking this view of it, it was a
sort of last resort inspired by the
hopelessness of the situation. It
wasn't foolish because they were
doing the best they could under the
circumstances.
But It will not help them, for they
are in a fair way to lose the negro
vote without the faintest prospect
of getting white voters enough to
offset it.
It will be interesting, however, to
learn what the negroes think about
it and how they propose to resent
this sudden and unceremonious
forced dissolution, without notice, of
a partnership that had lasted more
than a generation. The first report
comes from a meeting held at
Greensboro just after the convention
which shut the doors on some duly
chosen and regularly accredited ne
gro delegates, and let the white del
egates who were not elected in. It
reads thus:
3 After the gratuitous insults offered
to the colored delegate?, duly elected
and certified by credentials as dele
gates, by the convention composed
mainly of revenue collectors, deputy
collectors, store keepers and postmas
ters, United States court officers, their
employees, Populists and Red Shirt
Democrats, the said delegates and a
large number of negroes went to the
Piedmont Hotel in Greensboro on
August 28th, 1902, and after an ad
dress by Scotland Harris, a duly certi
fied delegation from Halifax county
adopted the following preamble and !
resolution:!
"Whereas, the Republican conven
tion this day assembled in the city of
Greensboro, has refused to seat the ne
gro delegates, duly elected and certi
fied to the said convention, and the
leading exponent of its plans and pur
poses has declared openly that the ne
groes are not wanted nor will be toler
ated in the Republican convention; be
it therefore
"Resolved, That the Republican
convention by its acts and utterances
nas absolved the negroes of the State
from any further allegiance to said
party.
"Resolved further. That we recom
mend and urge upon every colored
voter in the Bute to fit himself to fill
the requirements of the law in regard
to his qualifications as a voter and
under no circumstances -rote for any
ticket nominated by said convention
"Resolved further. That we urge the
organization of the colored people in
the counties of the State for the pur
pose of opposing and defeating every
candidate for the Legislature and other
offices) of the Bute of the men favora
ble to senator Pritchard ox his allies.

How the sable sovereigns o
Warren county, who had previously
cordially alluded to Senator Pntch
ard as a Judas-Iscarot, Benedict-Ar
nold stripe of machine m anipulator.
feel about it is told in the following
Warrenton dispatch of August 30th
to the Raleigh Post:
Urnat indifirnation is expressed here
imonr the nee-roes of the action of
thA Knnublican State Convention in
kicking out the regular negro dele
gates and seating the bogus delegate.
R. H. Tavlor. who was a negro dele
gate, says the action of Senator Prit-
chard will cause me ttepuoiican uo&c
to lose thousands of votes and will in
tirA their overwhelming defeat in the
November election. He says also that
the negroes are going to organize in a
nA&eeful. auiet way and vote for no
man for the Legislature who is known
to be in favor of the return or oenator
Pritchard to the Senate, lie says rur
ther that B. G. Green and N. M
Jones, who were seated as delegates
from Warren county, are unknown
in Renublican ranks in this county.
Tavlor is a negro of right much
prominence and influence in his party
and race in tms county.
And here is tho way the Halifax
ex-contingent proposes to retaliate,
as told by a Weldon dispatch of the
same date:
"Gk G. Newsom. leading negro ed
itor of Eastern North Carolina, has
returned from Greens bora He says
the Republican convention was an in
sult to every negro in worth uaronna,
and that the negroes will vote solidly
against the ticket named, and that
Judge Clark, Democratic nominee for
chief justice, will be elected, oy iuu,
000 majority.
The negroes will organize and pledge
to defeat the Rspublican ticket. East
ern Carolina is confronted with a curi
ous state of affairs. A few white men,
disappointed office-seekers in the main,
going over to the independet move
ment and the negroes, heretofore the
factor in politics which has kept the
white people solidly in the Democratic
ranks, being kicked out by the party
they have aided and now forced to
turn and vote the Democratic ticket
As a matter of course it naturally
followed that the negroes would be
highly incensed by this summary
treatment a sort of political lynch
ing which combined calculating
business with cold-blooded ingrati
tude to the race which had been
standing lovallv by their white
bosses year after year more than
generation and voting to give them
jobs, from U. S. Senatorships down
to revenue nosers. There are scores
of them to-day who owe everything
they have to this same rejected ne
gro. If as a race they were less do
cile and gullible they would never
vote another Republican ticket,
State or national, for this movement
has been encouraged by the party
managers in the North, and had the
sanction of President Roosevelt who
has been encouraging the effort to
whiten the Republican party of the
South. Pritchard didn't take this
step without conferring with him,
and a few days before he took it he
spent a part of a day at Oyster Bay,
where he dined with Mr. Roosevelt,
and talked over the political situa.
tion, present and prospective, in
North Carolina, and what hope
there might be for the Buccess of the
party. He knew the negro was go.
ing to be dropped and gave it either
his tacit or open approval. If he
hadn't it would not have beendone.
Therefore the indignant negroes
who resent this treatment and pro
pose to punish Pritchard go only
half way when they stop with him.
They should do the logical thing,
and hold the party, State and na
tional, responsible for Pritchard's
action, a sneaking action, too, which
lacked the manliness and honesty of
the Britt resolution which he had
strangled.
The party managers probably cal
culate on using some of the leading
negroes to act as bell-weathers to
bring the flock in when they will be
needed a service for which they
will be compensated. It will be in
teresting to keep an eye on these as
the political cards are played.
THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
Why Mr. Roosevelt should have
given special attention to the Mon
roe Doctrine in his speech at Rut
land, Vermont, Monday, is not quite
apparent, as that is not one of the
issues, present or prospective, before
the American people. It is not in
any way a matter of division or dis
cussion. As he has studiously refrained
from any reference to the tariff
question, and had gone so far on
the trust question that he found it
necessary to halt or hedge, as he
did in his Concord speech, when he
soft sodered the "captains of indus
try," and as expansion of the "be
nevolent assimilation" brand is not
a popular topic in that section he
ell back on the Monroe Doctrine,
on which there is pretty general
agreement and is a topic which gives
an opportunity for spread eagle, old
glory declamation without encount
ering opposition or stirring up any
particular racket.
His views, however, are not origi
nal, for logically, of that doctrine
means anything, it means that it
must be sustained by force if need
be, a meaning accepted by the Amer-
can people. It didn't remain for
Mr. Roosevelt to discover or assert
that, for Hon. Grover Cleveland did
that when he called it on Great
Britain, the greatest naval power in
the world, and held that nation up
on the Venezula dispute, when: we
didn't have half the navy we have
now. He, without making anv ta-
ade over it, was quite as strenuous
in prompt and plucky action as
ir. uoosevelt is in platform orato
ry. It might be Inferred from his

A SIMPLE REMEDY.
Although typhoid fever, as a pre
ventable disease, it is so general, so
difficult to successfully treat unless
taken in time, and proves fatal in so
manv cases, anything that throws
light on the treatment and promises
good results is a matter of interest
and of such importance that we
copy the following from the Char
lotte News:
There appeared recently iu Ibis
column, mention of some experiments
that are being conducted in a Uaicago
hospital with a new cure for typnoid,
called acetozone. That article has
brought out the information that right
here iu the Slate for years, a simple
remedy has been used in one neighbor
hood which is said to be efficacious a: d
which does not depend for its virtues
upon intricate combinations of little
known chemical agencies The reme
dy in question is yeast. A reader of
the Aeics. one of the State s most dis
tinguished citizens, having read of the
experiments with typhoid cure,
writes as follows:
"I note in a late issue your article
on specific remedy for typhoid fever.
My father cured every case in his
neighborhood, for years, without a sin
gle failure, by the administration of a
tablespoonful of ordinary yeast three
times a day. lie was not a professional
physician but a large slave holder and
was compelled to know a great deal of
medical science. His white neighbors
were cured by the same treatment.
"Typhoid fever, you know, is caused
by bacilli in the lower intestines. It
is probable that yeast is the antitoxine
for them or at least heals the ravages
they make in the inner coating of the
intestine.' It can do no harm if some
of your physicians would test it. If
unwilling to risk the yeast alone, they
might try it in conjunction with ordi
nary remedies if they are not such as
to neutralizs the effect of the yeast."
The remedy certainly bears the
charm of simplicity and there can be
no harm in its use. The suggestion
comes from such a high source that we
commend to the physicians of Char
lotte a trial of it in their practice.
It is very easy to test the merit in
this, and in view of the alleged re
sults, and the "high source" as the
Hews says, from which it comes, it
is worthy of a trial.

Eyesight of Spiders aid Scorpions.
Spiders have wonderful eyesight, but
I am quite sure that the scorpion's vi
sion, notwithstanding his six eyes, Is
far from being acute, says an English
naturalist. It it very difficult to catch
a spider with a pair of forceps, but a j
scorpion can easily be captured if no
noise Is made. Spiders see their prey
before they are caught in the web, but
the scorpion makes no movement what
ever to seize flies or cockroaches until
they indicate their whereabouts by
movements. This being the case, it
can readily be understood how easily
the scorpion may be roused into motion
by the vibrations of music.
If a tuning fork be sounded on the
table on which I keep my caged scor
pion, he at once becomes agitated and
'strikes out viciously with his sting.
On touching him with the vibrating
tuning fork he stings it and then coils
himself up, as scorpions do when

eased condition, (psoriasis, a species

this for eight years. Then it sud

It raged more or less in this way
for ten years, and was afterward en
tirely cleared away in about 6 weeks
time by D. D. D. and no taint of the
disease has appeared since over two

This preparation has my un
qualified endorsement. I am

excellent results. The cures

The Invention of the Steamboat.
Robert Fulton's Clermont, the first
steamboat or any practical value, wag
launched into the East river. It is not
known who first conceived the idea of
propelling boats by steam; probably
Salomon de Caus, in 1G15. Many per
sons experimented with steam propul
sion between 1703, when William Hen
ry of Pennsylvania placed a small boat
on the Conestoga river, and 1807. when
the Clermont made its trip to Albany.
Among them were the Marquis de
Jonffroy, James Rumsey and John
Fitch. These men produced models
which wore worthy of the name steaiu-
boat, but tho Clermont was the first
steam vessel produced which actually
carried passengers and freight, and Rob
ert Fulton is fairly entitled to the cred
it of inventing the steamboat.

Man sheds his skin just as thoroughly
ss soiih? ff the lower orders of crea
tion, but In docs it more slowly and
imperceptibly. The cells which com
pose the lower strata of the epidermis
are perpetually renewed and push up
ward, and the outer layer must be con
stantly removed. This process, which
is termed desquamation, is absolutely
requisite to the health and beauty of
the skin. The more rapidly this proc
ess is carried on the more clear and
transparent becomes the epidermis and
the more roseate and velvety the skin
tissues which re constantly forming
below.

COTTON MARKETS
By Teleerach to the Morniutt Star.
New York, Sept. 2. The cotton
market opened at a decline of three to
seven points. After October had sold
off to 8.29, January to 8.22 and March
to 8.16, there was a sharp upward
movement, xne early aeciice was
due to unsatisfactory cables . and re
ports of rams, actual and prospec
tive, In localities much in need of
moisture. Later, the three positions
named sold up to 8.45, 8.36 and 8 27
respectively. The advance was started
by covering on fears that the weekly
crop report from Washington woutu
be without value to the bear contin
gent. Later, the market declined un
der a bear raid following renewed
rain talk in Texas, but again advanced
rapidly on covering and fears of a bul
lish bureau report from Washington
to-morrow. October sold up to 8.47c,
January 8.37c and March 8.30c. Tbe
weekly report was so much iu keeping
with the general run or private crop
advices that bad preceded it that ihtte
was disposition to fear that the month
ly crop report from Washington would
show a condition of 70 to 71. Some
bought cotton on the ground that rains
with the temperature Iso high as it di
cated would do more harm than good.
The buying to-day was general with a
large Greek export house, already
heavily long of October a conspicu
ous buyer of October. Chicago grain
interests, the South, New KntrJaud and
Wall street appeared to be buying.
but the short interest furnished tbe
most active element in the demand.
The spot cotton markets of the coun
try were generally changed to easier;
four markets of the South reported a
decline of le. Total sales were estima
ted at 500,000 baler, with the market
anally steady at a net advance or six
to ten points.
