The Alabama suffrage plan
provides that after Jan. 1,1903,
all men, white or black, must
qualify themselves for the elec
tive franchise by paying their
poll taxes; being able to read
and write; showing that they
have engaged in lawful occupa
tions for twelve months, and
naming their employers for live
years>*A«t an alternative to the
last named provision they may
qualify by showing that they
pay taxes on S3OO worth of
property or own forty acres of
land. In establishing this pro
gramme of suffrage the majorit} r
report of the Constitutional
Convention provides that dur
ing 1902 a "Board of Registra
tion of three members shall sit
in every county of the State
and make up the lists of voters.
Upon these lists shall be in
scribed the names of all old sol
diers (of all wars) and of their
descendants. All others must
give proof of good character
and understanding the duties
of citizenship. Once on the
lists, the name of the voter
must be kept there for life un
less he shall fail to pay his poll
tax. If wrongfully kept off the
lists he can obtain redress by
appealing to the registry board
after 1903, or from the boards
to the courts.
Crop Condition.
CENTRAL DISTRICT.
Laurinburg, Scotland: No
farm work of any kind since
the 12th, and will not be for
some time ; there has been 8 to

and land, crops, roads, and
bridges have suffered badly;
low and sandy land will make
very little, stiff-upland cotton is
growing too fast and is 3 to 4
weeks late; very little good
corn. —L. L. McKimmou.

this week and very little work
done; gloomy prospects, too
jpnch rain for crops.—Y. 11.
Allen.
Hackney, Chatham : Weather
very unfavorable for crops; it
ha 3 been raining every day
since the lltli; too wet for cot
ton, not many squares and
taking rust; late corn also
damaged by rain; impossible
for farmers to lay by their
crops in good order; not many
peas sown.—Rufus Gardner.
Roberdell, Richmond: Heavy
rains during the week; crops
washed badly; creeks to high
water mark ; bottom-land crops
drowned; crops were in fairly
good condition when rains set
in.—N. H. Goyton.
Ezra, Johnston: This week
too wet for farm work ; only two
days on which plowing was pos
sible and crops are grassy;
fruit keeps on falling and rot

——JS. J. D. Boykin.
No More Ex Parte Pardons. J
The best thing Governor*.Ay
cock has done since his inaugu
ration is the adoption of a rule
requiring notices of all applica
tions for pardon to be published
in a newspaper or to be posted
at the court house door for two
weeks in the county in which
the applicant resided and at the
nearest postofiice of the scene
of the crime. This rule will re
quire publicity in every case
that comes before the Governor
for pardon, and will give oppor
tunity to any and all parties to
be heard upon any pending ap
plication for pardon. If there
is any reason why the pardon
should not be granted, the
neighbors will be advised of the
applications and can make
known the reason to the Gov
ernor.
' Ex parte pardons are neces
sarily often improperly granted.
The usual rule heretofore has
been for the friends of the ap
plicant to quietly get a petition
and letters from the judge, so
licitor, jurors and other parties.
Armed with this endorsement
of the application, an attorney
visits Raleigh and urges the
Governor to grant the pardon.
The Governor has nothing be
fore him except the prison rec
ord and the petitioner, and after
he has granted the pardon he
may liud that the people of the
county know little or nothing
about it and that if they had
known of the application, good
reason against the exercise of
executive clemency would have
been presented. Hereafter they
will have notice of the applica
tion and the Governor will have
the benefit of the views of the
advocates and opponents in ev
ery case in which there is divis
ion of sentiment with reference
to the pardon.
The granting of a pardon is
the highest function of the sov
ereign. It ought seldom to be
graft ted to correct courts or jur
ies or to overrule their findings
and decrees, but a pardon may
properly be granted upon evi
dence that comes after the
trial, or because of the ill health
or for some other good reason
that appeals to clemency. It is
the most important duty that
develops upon our Chief Execu
tive, one that weighs heavily
upon our prtsent conscientious
Governor, as upon his predecess
ors. There was much criticism
of Governor Vance for the liber
al use of the pardon power and
some thought Governor Scales
pardoned tco little. It is not
possible for all to agree with
the Governor upon every decis
ion on an application for par
don, but will approve the new
rule he has promulgated of
publicity before the pardon
is granted, and the carrying
out of his rule, adopted upon
his inauguration, of giving to
the press every pardon granted.

When Lynchiny Will Stop.
Lynching will stop in this
State when there is an end of
the infernal crime that invokes
it, and not before. Parsonic
he-virgins and lish-blooded
officials may cry "anarchy
puritanic penny-a-liners may
damn the South as savages, but
the law stands recorded in
every Saxon, Southern heart
that when a black devil assaults
one of our women he takes the
short cut, across lots, to perdi
tion. Try him by law? Would
you try a mad-dog? Yet the
mad dog is merciful compared
with this unspeakable tierid.
The victim of rabies dies at
least respected; the innocent
victim of the black demon's
lust lives a life of unending
agony. Eorce her to face the
court, to suffer a second death
of shame and torture by re
counting her outrage, to sub
mit to the examination by some
shyster lawyer, to risk the
law's uncertain and delay, to
run tne gauntlet of the pardon
ing power, the chance of es
cape? Put the villian in jail
and let sentimental sillies slob
ber over him and send him
horse shoe geraniums; mount
him on the scaffold and let him
blister his dirty throat with the
lie that he is going straight to
glory? No, 110, brothers; let
tlie poor woman suffer in si
lence ; take the hell-bound to
the scene of the villainy and let
his sentence leap from the hot
lips of an avenging Winchester.
Lynching can be stopped. It
ought to stop. And the way
to stop it is to stop the crime.—
Morganton Herald.
