THE AMENDMENT
F ADOPIED IT WOULD NOT SETTLE
THE -RACE QUESTION.
Whjt Is toBe Done With Illiterate Illegiti
mates and Ignorant Mulattoes?
Editor or thV Register: - :
Takeing it for granted that this
amendment will carry, aud be de
clared Constitutioual, will that settle
the race problem ? Were the Dem
ocrats, when tuey framed this prop
osositio i, looking toward -the settle
ment of the Tace yroblem; or' where
or were fthey hoping; tlnere by to
entrencn themselves in power for
ever ?
Any mm knows this amendment
will not settle, tlie race problem, but
but make it more eompiex by mak
ing a favored class anions: the Negro
es. All Mien must admit that it is
contrary to all lws of free govern
ment for a piny to legislate itself. in
to por bvitrt own H;t,hut any
thing in'fir with a Democratic
politiei.m when oe is aftr an o.flice
Taking it K'r fr-mto I that sect
ion fiv wi! I d-elarfkl oonsti-
tutionnl. -According to 'the Dem
ocratic argumeut hy letjfug it fall
on all alikp,y(u. can'eee several
possibilities for white me;i to be
robbed of ihir hallota. Did not
the democrats nay !nst fall that no
man should be deprived of his ball
ot? No v they s iv thev did r.nt

they pay that a iy man thgt' can
not establi-.h his parentnl suffrage
and cab not r-ad and write shall
be thrrjwu -out. Lot us notice a
few poes.bie -'chances' that they
will have to deprive mfti of their
ballots. There are many man in
North Carolina of illegitimate
birth. How are th.y going to
establish their claim to the ballot
box ihotld the rpgistfar not re
fuse them to be allowed tfie'priv-
elege of their ballot?)" If ther iu
a way to aecuas the ballot for
such mont how are thy going to
prevent the thousands of illiterate
mulattos in North x Carolina
from coming in at the same gap?
Suppo3e a man should go to the
registrar and could hot prove
that his anceilors voted in 18G7,
could not registrar find some pre
text to not allow him toYegieter?
If men were honest and fairjn
politics, we could afford to con
sider this-propositiou in another
light, but we are to know what is
to be by what has ben.
The great trouble lhat I appre
hend is that the proposed amend
msnt does not lay down the plan
by whioh men tha!l be registered
nor the proof that will be required
to establish parental sufferage.
That seems to be reserveduntil
the meeting of the (general
Assembly after the Amend
ment muBhave bfn ratified.by
by' the people at the polls. Of
course, after it has passed the peo
ple,, the Assembly can rxct any
proof desired.
When the' people of North Caro
lina modifytheir constitution at
this amendment yrop )es to do
they break all the fortifications
they hayo to protect their libertie?
t makes " no difference
whether the amendment be de
clared constitutional or - whether
auction 5 b deolared unconstitut
ional, Either one opens up the
gate to the traitors of liberty. Ei
ther one reduces suffrage to a
privileg,that privilege to be gran
ted ordeniedTby some township
partisan politician. "This just
simply proposes to rob the "consti
tution of its power as a protector
ate of the people's liberties', acd
places the power in a board of reg
isttars in every township. The
constitution offers th ballot to all
men as soon as they re 21 years
of age regardless of his grand
father or father, but this proposes
to knock out this safegaurd of lib
erty' and assemble all illiterates
before a tribunal ot registrars
there to give evidence, satisfactory
evidence. they ra beirs of the bal
lot box through their errand father.
I suppose all such unfortunates
will be awful proud ! their grand
fathers were not in I the pen
itentary in G7. Our constitution
invests as much regal power in
the poor illiterate mau who labors
fron the rising till the going
down of the sun around hi3 little
log cabin on the side of th
mountian as it does in the song of
wealth who sleep in their palaces
by the saa. Our constitution is
our old deed for eaqh ana every
one of our iibertie?.
It was sealed with blood of illit
erates, as well as the blood of the
cultured, it reached far enough to
take us all in without the prov
isions of a "grandfather clause.
May it stand forever as is in re
gard to suf ferage,and may no poor
unfortunate North Carolinian ever
have to bear the humiliation of a
Townshin King, and beg for mercv
and a pass to the ballot box.'
There are many well . schemed
and dangerous possibility lurkibe
neath this proposition, better hold
to th old paper. It has been giving
justice far many years. M. P.

OTHER SIDE OF KENTUCKY CASE
BXJTY YQUR
Goebel's Killing of Sanfprd The former a
Bad Man
The Landmark printed recently
the story of the killing of Ranford by
Win. Ooebel, at present the Democrat
ic nominee for Governor of Ken
tucky, as told by a friend of Goebel.
A friend of the editor of the Land
mark, now a resident of Kentucky
ssends us the following in regard to
;tnis matter, which puts quite a
different face on it.
To thp Editor of The Laudmark :
Since you have mentioned a tim
of-two the present deplorable con
dition of polities in Kentucky, aud
in your issure of the 25 quote a state
ment of one Wheeler about the mur
der of Jno. Sandford by Goebel, let me
just say this: That you only hava
one sido of this matter. The other
side is to this effect that
Goebel. knowing that Sanford was an
excitacle man, published in his Goe
bel's paper abusive attacks on San-
ord until he was sure his m,a11 was
deeply irritated. Then he sent a friend
(some sav his own brother) to ask
Sanford what he was going 'to do
about it.Sanferd replied excitedly "I
will kill him." This being what Goe
bel wes waiting for, h j proceeded to
prepare himself for action by ciotning
himself in a chain shirt and loaded
his pistol. He then placed himself
where he knew he would meet John
Sanford walked deliberately there
and waited aud .when his victim
appeared he cooly shot him dead.
Ranford'aball penetrated Goebel's
clothing but only left a bruised place
on his skin.
I seu.d you this that you may see
there is another side to this matter.
The people herein Kentucky who
have informed themsslves know that
Sanford was murderd. As to the
alleged attack by John Sanford on
Goedel.s mothej, that makes a fine
effect on the stump that is absolutely
all there is in it'
Goebel simply suceeded in killing
his irian aud was ; sharp enough to
keep his own hide whole and to
appear before the public as acting on
the defensive.
Let me further say that there are
othej things that keep people from
supporting Goebei'aside from tne
fact that he has killed his man.
And howevere how much the
Courier-Journal, Times, etc., may try
to minimize that corvention at
Lexington on the 15th of August.the
fact remains thah there never was a
finer body of men assemblend in
Kentucky over 4,000 of tee best
people iutne State wera present frem
110 counties out af 119
Brown may. not be elected but there
are many who will hope and pray
that Kentucky will not be cursed
with Goebe.l - B. E. C.

POOLING THE PUBLIC
(lI am about bushed in the matter
of curiosities" mused the owner of a
small store. "It's a bad habit, this
idea of drawing trade by making a
museum of the window, but I can't
stop now; business won't allow it."
A few hours later the sodawater
trade was rushing. The crowd out
side the window gaaed until it was
thirsty at the remarkable bird that
hung in a big cage. The card attach

HIS APPEAL WITHDRAWN
Paris Undisturbed Oyer the Autiouuce
mrnt That He Will lie Liberated,
but the Greatest KxcltBiueut Pre
vails at IvoiiiieB.
Paris, Sept. 19. The council of min
isters decided todaj to pardon Dreyfus
in principle. The -pardon will take
effect in a few days.
Dreyfus has relinquished his appeal
for a reversal of the judgment of the
courtniartiaL
It is said that Dreyfus will be semi
abroad before the promulgation of his
pardon in order to avoid demonstration!
"In principle" is an idom sometimes
used in semicfncial announcements of
forthcoming actions. It soems to have
but slight bearing on the matter, ex
cept, perhaps, that it implies the fulfill
ment of various formalities before the
pardon is actually issued, thereby qual
ifying the announcement of the pardon
with slight tentativeness. It is not
known whether' the pardon includes
amnesty.
The announcement that Dreyfus was
to be pardoned had already been dis
counted by f predictions and there was
absolutely no excitement displayed along
the boulevards when newaborS ran along
at about 3:15 p. m. with the first edi
tions containing the statement that the
cabinet had' decided to pardon Dreyfus
The newspapers sold quickly, but there
was no rush for them upon the part of
the bonlevardefs. '
Those who bought the -papers sat
down in front of the cafes and read the
announcement without comment Every
one expected it and the decision met
with no opposition,
The Droits Del Homme, the Socialist
organ, said: j
"Our task remains, the same after as
before the liberation of Dreyfus, to con
tinue the campaign against all those
who are responsible for the lamentable
affair, and .unmask the forgers, traitors
and false witnesses, even though they
may be oovered with glittering decofar
tions." - 1
A dispatch from Rennes says the news
that the council of ministers had de
cided to pardon Dreyfus was received
there with intense excitement. Drey
fas is still a prisoner.
There is much remark hereon the
strange coincidence of the death of M.
Scheurer-Kestner, the first champion of
Dreyfus and to whom Dreyfus will vir
tually owe his freedom, on the very day
the cabinet decided to pardon the pris
oner. M. Scheurer-Kestner's death was
sudden. He had been ill during the
last few days, but it was not thought
his illness would prove fatal
SHAKEUP AMONG TROOPS.
Military Advisory Board Recommends
Several Changes. j
Atlanta, Sept. 19. The military ad
risory board of Georgia has adjourned
after making a number of recommenda
tions which radically change the service
of troops and put the militia, it is be
lieved, on a footing where it has never
been before. i
On the report of Inspector General
Obear, 29 commands of the state 12
white companies and 17 negro compan
ies are ordered mustered out. The
only command in Atlanta coming under
this order is the machine gun battery,
which was among the first inspected- I
The report of Inspector General Obear
in this matter was immediately adopted
by the board, and those of the compa
nies that have not turned in their arms
and equipments will be expected to do
so as soon as possible.
By the mustering out of I 17 negro
commands only four of that color are
left in the state organization. The
board in its recommendation acted with
out discrimination, and it is understood
was careful not to draw the color line.
The board also recommended an in
crease in the pay of privates and non
commissioned men, from 43 cents a day,
the regular army pay, to $1 a day, while
men are on riot call. i

Efforts of the Authorities Have Been
to "Prevent the Disease Spreading to
Other Cities and They Have Suc
ceeded, j-'".
Washington, Sept 19. Tho' yellow
fever situation at Key West Is regarded
as grave. Since the first oase was re
ported about three weeks ago the epi
demic has been steadily growing until
today there are "almost 400 cases. New
cases are appearing at the rate of about
30 a day, bat the mortality is low.
Fifty-four cases and two deaths were re
ported for Sunday and Monday. At
tendant Hall, one of the marine hospital
staff, developed the disease; last night
and he has been isolated. 1
As Key West is situated! below, the
front line, the epidemic will have to
run its course. The marine hospital
service has been directing its efforts to
oonflning the epidemic to the island and
has been rewarded with signal success.
Only one infected person is known to
have escaped and he was discovered at
Miami and isolated. He has since, re
covered. I '
All the suspects at Port Tampa were
placed in a detention camp and Assist
ant Surgeon Trotter today reported that
the camp would be closed on Wednes
day as the suspects had been under ob
servation ten days. I
None but known immunes are ' al
lowed to leave Key West direct and then
only on certificates. Others who desire
to leave must first goto the detention
camp at Dry Tortugas. The treatment
of the cases in Key West is entirely un
der the supervision of the Florida-state
board of health. The marine hospital
service is simply enforcing quarantine
regulations with a view to preventing
the spread of the disease. V ;
One new case of fever was reported
to the, surgeon general from New Or
leans today. The same report stated
that freight from New Orleans was un
disturbed except in Texas, which would
not permit freight originating s in New
Orleans to pass through the state. Sur
geon Carter, who is in charge there,
says there are few unnecessary restric
tions. He will meet Dr. Sanders of the
state board of health of Alabama today
to make arrangements for simplifying
the train service.
STATE OF GEORGIA! LOSES.
Judge Hart Benders a Decision Id the
Central Suit, j ' j
Eatokton, Ga., Sept 19. Judge John
C. Hart has decided the Eatonton rail
road case, holding that the Central did
not violate the state constitution in buy-,
ing'the Middle Georgia and Atlantic
, It will be remembered that on a peti
tion from citizens of Eatonton, Gov
ernor Candler directed Attorney Gen
eral Terrell to begin proceedings against
the Central. If the constitution had
been violated, the purchase would be
set aside, and a receiver i would be ap-
Eointed lot the Middle Georgia and At
tn tic.
The case was argued on Monday and
Tuesday of last week, before Judge
Hart in the supreme court at the capitoL
It was asserted by the petitioners that
since the Central acquired the Middle
Georgia and Atlantic the merchants of
Eatonton and other points along the
road were prevented from buying m At
lanta . and Augusta, because the rates
discriminated in favor of Savannah.
The defense submitted evidence to
show that both passenger and freight
rates had been greatly reduced since the
inrchase, and the road has been changed
rom a run-down and dangerous line fa
a well constructed and safe property.
BUTLER FOR EMIGRATION.
He Favors Sending Negroes to South
or Central America.
Greenville, S. 0., Sept j 19. Gen
eral M. 0. Butler has written a very in
teresting letter on the race question, in
which he takes the position that the
government should provide a home in
Central or South America for the negro
race.
The letter is. addressed to a New
Yorker who recently asked General
Butler some questions as to the race sit
uation and conditions in the south.
In speaking of the proposed emigra
tion of the negro, General Butler says,
in part: i ;
'To my mind it behooves the govern
ment of the United States to carry out
the proposition of President Lincoln.
and provide a home in Central or South
America, or elsewhere where the negro
may be induced to emigrate and set up
for himself. It would be mnnitely bet
ter for the negro, who can never reach
the full measure of American manhood
and citizenship with his environments
of race prejudice and ostracism in - this
country." : -
