The Seaboard Air Line Will push its
new line between Camden and -Co
lumbia, S. G, to completion as rapidly
as possible.
Mr. William Moncure, who is in
charge of the construction of the road,
spent Sunday; here. Though he has
not yet completed the survey he thinks
he will be able to finish tne road
within the next seven months. The
best and most direct route will be se
lected and the heaviest steel rail will
be used, as this link is to be on the
main line.
Already the superintendent of mo
tive power, Mr. Reeds drawing plans
.or eVit n 1. .engines to be used
vi th" grV - , . v -t-, Florida trains.
J 'be; put on i between i Rica
iaonu b.bI Columbia,' the FCL & P.
Kail road w'tvt having a supply of
engines of tbIsnV. New"vestibule
trains for this end of the line will also
be built at once.
-In addition to the through line to
Florida, the Seaboard has, it is learned,
just completed trackage arrangements
with certain roads, whereby it will have
A Through Line Into New Orleans.
For this it will use the Atlanta and
West Point Railroad (176 miles) from
Atlanta to Montgomery; and the
Louisville and Nashville (321 miles)
from Montgomery to New Orleans.
Its trains will leave Atlanta at 4.20 P.
M. and reach New Orleans at 7 o'clock
next morning.
' These two new lines to Florida and
to-New Orleans together with its con
nection with the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad will give the Seaboard, which
has hitherto been bottled up by the
Southern, an outlet in all directions.
In order to form this connection with
the Seaboard system the Baltimore &
Ohio will build the road from Wash
ington to Quantico, - a distance of
twenty-three . miles including the
bridge across the Potomac. .
With these extensions of the Seaf
baard, the hope is revived in the
breasts of the people in Raleigh that
the shops, burned down several years
ago, will be re-established and the
general offices of the company moved
back here. And for this there is some
show of reason. With the comple
tion of the Camden link and the
Ridge way and Petersburg short line,
the shops and offices must necessarily
. be m oved from Portsmouth. At
Raleigh they will be directly on , the
main line and at a much more
central and convenient point than
if they- were at Richmond, the
other location under consideration by
the management. It is stated that
Mr. Williams, the president of the
toad, thinks Raleigh the better place
of tne two for repair and construction
shops and it is known that .Mr. St.
John prefers this city to Richmond as
a location for the general offices.
The Seaboard already owns a hand
some office building here.
The Cruiser Raleigh.
A letter received this morning by
Alderman McDonald from Assistant
Attorney General Boyd, Washington,
6ays:
"In publication of the correspondence
between you and myself relative to the
visit of the cruiser Raleigh to North
Carolina, you are represented as say
ing that you thought it would be more
proper for the mayor or his representa
tive, to receive the gun from the
Raleigh than for the Governor to do
it. I said what I did about the Gov
ernor's being the logical person to
receive the gift, because of the fact
that it was said that the "presenta
tion . by thefT'officers and crew
of the ship was . to be made
to the State of North Carolina, and
of course, if sucb-is-the case, the Gov-
ernor, as tne Unier .Executive, would
be the logical person to receive it. " If,
however, the presentation is to be
made to the city of Raleigh, I agree
with you that the-Mayor of Raleigh
should receive it. But please under
stand that I am not stickling about
the affair. I am anxious to have the
ship go to North Carolina and have
her go under circumstances and con
ditions such as to make her visit agree-
. able to the officers and crew of -the
vessel and the people of the State."
An efforfis being made to secure a
low rate from here to New York for
, those desiring to attend the reception
to the Raleigh on her arrival there.
- A special rate will be made as soon as
it is definitely known what time the
cruiser will arrive there and how
many people wil go from here.
Revenue and Machinery Acts.
The Secretary of State is today
sending out the Revenue and Machin
ery Acts to the registers of deeds of
the various counties. One copy Is sent
for each list-taker, one for each county
commissioner and one for each county
officer. !
The opinion of the Supreme Court
in the Day case (penitentiary-management)
is expected to morrow. It is
awaited with .greatKnterest. It is re

and that it will be in favor of Capt.
Day. Of course no one has any offi
cial information on the subject.
The docket at this term of the Su
preme Court has been the lightest in
many years. The court was in session
for hearing' argument only one day
last week. The' docket this week is
equally as light. From hardly 9 dis
trict in the State has as many cases as
usual been sent . up. J '

against the State for damages, to be

Intoxicated Man Shot and Killed.
Last night,' about midnight, the
family of G. WHeffner was awak
ened by the rattling of the blinds on
the front of the house. Mr. Heffner
was hastily summoned from another
room,, and pistol in hand, went to
the front door, on which some one
was beating, as if trying to enter. Mr.
Heffner asked who wa$, there, but re
ceiving no answer, opened the door.
The hall was dark and some one at
tempted seemingly to push by him.
Immediately he fired, the bullet"
striking the intruder in the
region of the heart. The wounded
man, who was in an intoxicated condi
tion, was taken to the residence of Mr.
John C. Wooten, near by, and physi
cians were summoned. He proved to
be Mr. Council Joiner, a well known
citizen of La Grange, and though all
was done for bim that friends and
physicians could do, he died this
morning about ten o'clock. It seems
that he was seeking the home of Mr.
Wooten when he knocked, but had
missed it. The coroner's jury exon
erated Mr Heffner,' for whom,
as well' as for' the . decedent's family
much sympathy is felt.

A new case of smallnox was dis
covered here this morning. The
patient is one of tne negroes who came
in contact with the negro woman,
Carrie Young, who is now in the pest
house. ' Since that time this negro,
with six others who were similarly ex
posed, have been quarantined.
Three new cases of smallpox were -this
morning reported to the State
Board of Health from Rocky Mount,
and one from Newton. All the people
at both places have been vaccinated
and there is no danger of spread of the
disease. "AH the Rocky Mount cases
came from other places, and all from
different directions. Rocky Mount
has compulsory vaccination and one
man is now serving on the chain gang
for refusal to be vaccinated; . Another
was sect to the roads with him, but
later decided to be vaccinated and was
released.
Corporation Commlssionersv
The corporation commissioners,
Messrs. Franklin McNeill (chairman),
S. L. Rogers and E. C. 'Beddingfield,
took the oath of office this morning at
9 50 o'clock before Justice Walter
Clark, of the Supreme Court of North
Carolina.
Immediately after the oath had been
administered the commission was
called to order and Dr. D. H. Abbott
appeared with, his attorney Judge
MacRae and claimed "to be a mem
ber thereof by virtue of his election by
the Legislature of. North Carolina for
the term of six years from April 1st,
1897."
This claim was denied, Chairman
McNeill stating that he -would comply
with the statute and recognize Mr. E.
C. Beddingfield as commissioner,
whereupon Dr. Abbott respectf ully en
tered his protest against the action of
the commission.
This done Dr. Abbott retired and
the commission went into executive
session and elected Mr. Henry C.
Brown, clerk to the commission. Mr.
Brown had been clerk to the railroad
commission ever since its organizatioi
April 1st, 1891. His salary is
a year: that of the commissio;
$2,000.
The sheriff of (Jabarrus coi
settled his taxes for 1898. paying the
State Treasurer $9,346 26.

Cade that the Governor had returned
from Washington. He was mistaken.
The Governor has not returned and is
not expected back till to-night.
. Municipal Election.
The vote for mayor, in the Democratic
primaries last night was: Powell, 711;
Pogue, 394; Leach, 32. The Board of

The' nominating convention for the
city meets to-morrow. The action of
the primaries in regard to nominations
will of course be confirmed, it is
also pretty certain that a-resolution
will be passed declaring the city of
Raleigh should own and operate its
electric light plant and water works,
and instructing the aldermen to use
their most earnest efforts to this end.
Such a resolution was last night
adopted in two wards.
.Mistakes in Revenue Act.
The mistake in the Revenue Act, in
regard to dispensaries, to which refer
ence was made in my dispatch to the
Star last night, occurs in section
24, which imposes a license tax of 2
per cent, on purchases of liquor dealers
in addition to the ad valorem tax on
their stock and also an annual
license tax of $50 on druggists
dealing in spirituous liquors.
At the end of the section the follow
ing provisos are added:
"Provided, that this act shall not au
thorize any druggist to sell spirituous,
vinous or malt liquors except upon the
prescription of a practicing physician,
as now allowed by law : provided, in
towns with less than five hundred in
habitants, and in towns where the sale
of liquor is prohibited by law, twenty
five dollars shall be the license; pro
vided, that this section shall apply to
all dispensaries."
Treasurer Worth thinks the last pro
visa a mistake. It was evidently
meant to apply to the tax only, but it
applies as well to the provision, except
upon the prescription of a practicing
physician.
It is not known yet whether this
proviso will or can be enforced by the
courts, as it is wholly inconsistent
with the other sections of the act re
lative to the tax on dispensaries.
Treasurer Worth thinks that it cannot
be enforced. . . .

SOME QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS EX
PLANATORY OF THE AMENDMENT.
1. uuestion. it the amendment is
adopted, will the negro be allowed to
voter
Answer. Only such negroes will be
allowed to vote as can read and write.
or such as are descended from those
negroes who could vote prior to the
Constitution of 1835, or who have
come from States where negroes could
vote before 1867.
2. Q. Will the amendment disfran
chise the uneducated whitest '
A. Certainly not. Under it, any
white man who could vote at any
time before 1867, or whose ancestors
(.that is, his father, grandfather, great
grandfather, etc.,) could vote at any
time before 1-S67, can register whether
he can read and write or not any
time before 1908, and will always
thereafter be entitled to vote. This
lets in eyery white man and Croatan,
however lacking1 in education; who
has not been convicted of an infamous
crime.
3. GC Why this difference between
the white man and negro?
A. Why bless your soul, it is SL mat
ter 01 natural understanding and ca
pacity. The white man has . more
sense and capacity than the negro, and
inherently understands the duties and
responsibilities of suffrage and citizen
ship better than the negro; and the
Democratic party holds that -the un
educated white man can be trusted to
cast a more intelligent vote than an
educated negro. That is what white
Democrats believewhether white Re
puMicans believe it or not
4. Q Will white men who are regis
tered before 1908 have to be able to
read and write to vote after that time?
A. No. Every white man who regis
ters under the grandfather clause of
the amendment before 1908, will be
placed on the ''permanent, roll;'' and
will forever thereafter be entitled to
vote, although he may never know a
letter in the books.
5. Q. Has this amendment been
adopted and tried anywhere else?
A. Yes. It is the law of the State of
Louisiana to-day.
6. Q. How has the law worked in
Louisiana? '
A. Splendidly. The white people
there are delighted with it. It has
solved the negro problem' .there and
established white supremacy perma
nently. --L
7. U. Haa-any election been held
under it in Louisana?
A. Yes. The last State and Na
tional election in that State was held
under it. .
8. Q. Did the negroes in Louisana
register under it? . '
A. Not many.
9. Q. Did the uneducated whites
register under it? 1 "
A. Yes. Both the educated and un
educated whites registered Junder the
grandfather clause, and were -placed
on tne permanent roll, -and will not
; have to register again in order to vote.
10. Q. Did the Republicans of
Louisana claim the law : was uncon
stitutional? ' - ' t
A. Yes. They tried to fool and
scare the people, there, just as they are
doing here, by telling them before the
election that the amendent was . un
constitutional, and threatened the peo
ple wilh the United States' pourt, but
the people paid no attention to them
as they will not here and when the
amendment was adopted there, noth
ing more was Jieard of the cry about
the amendment's being unconstitu
tional. 11. Q. You say an election has
been held in Louisiana under the
amendment ?
-A. Yes Both State, and Congres
sional elections.
12. Q. And the Republicans did not
take it into court ? .';
A. Why, dear me, no. They knew
the law was all right, and that it had
been Investigated by the greatest law
yers in the State and pronounced
sound and good. Why the Louisiana
amendment which is practically the
same as ours was prepared under the
direction of Judges Foster and Sem-
mes, two of the greatest' lawyers not
only in Lousiana, but in the whole
South.
13. Q. Has the constitutionality of
the amendment been thoroughly in
vestigated by our North Carolina law
yers ? .
A. Yes. Thoroughly, fullv and ex
haustively. It was submitted by the
Legislature to a select committee of the
ablest lawyers in that body. Some of
these lawyers bad been studying it for
weeks and months before ther Legisla
ture met. . They had examined all the
authorities and read all the books, and
they agreed it was constitutionally
sound. It was finally prepared under
their direction by George Rountree
recognized by the bar and bench of the
whole State as one of the soundest and
greatest lawyers in the State. Finally
there were about fifty lawyers many
of them the best in the State in the
Legislature, and every one of them
voted for the amendment, and by that
vote expressed their opinion under
oath that it was constitutional; for a
member of the Legislature is under
the obligation of an oath not to vote
for anything he believes to be uncon
stitutional. 14. Q. Who. says the act is uncon-
stitutional?
A. Well, Hon. Jeter Pritchard says
so; but he said there was no negro
demonstration in Wilmington before
the election- and before the revolution
hurled them from power and drove
their white allies into enforced exile.
15. Q. If Mr. Pritchard and the Re
publicans think the amendment is un
constitutional,7 why do they trouble
themselves about it, for everybody
knows an unconstitutional law is no
law at all, andjean neither hurt nor
help anyone.
A. They are merely plavine poli
tics. They hope by misrepresentation
to fool-the people and get back into
power. They have not yet learned
that they cannot fool all the peonle all
the time.
16. Q. Will the amendment be
adopted?
A. Yes. By an overwhelming ma
jority. The white people are deter

New York, April 5. The cotton
market opened steady at an advance
of one to two. points, but ior the rest
of the forenoon; and the greater part
of tne afternoon snowed lnsiermncant
further variations, with business quite
of an eveniner-up character and small
at that. The featurebf operations
was the buying of May and August
contracts- by Liverpool and conti
nental representatives, who subse
quently sold the new crop positions.
Local longs, notably Wall street
houses, supplied cotton wanted for
near-by delivery ana toot a
fresh .hold . in the more distant
months, these latter purchases being
Ubieny in Uctober and January.
Scalpers were indifferent and took
practically no part in the day's doings
in that pit The closing was quiet and
steady with prices one point higher to
two net lower. Considering our
softness of yesterday, initial. English
news was of marked bullish tenor, but
as a counter balance to this factor
were reports from Southern spot
markets to the effect that offerings
were quite urgent even at a shade
lower prices with demand meagre
except for high grade staples.
The weather was about a standoff.
