The great mass of our male'
citizenship is of those who have I
not the opportunity or the
means to attend college or to I'
acquire a complete education, i
and whose only chance of edu
cational improvement is confin
ed to the common schools, says
the Montgomery (Ala.) Adver
tiser. If we admit that educa
tion makes better and happier
citizens, then it is both a duty
and a sound policy to make ed
ucation as nearly universal as
possible. The state cannot af
ford to carrv all its children
through all the branches of ac
quired knowledge, but it cer
tainly can give all of them such
an education as will fit them for
the ordinary duties of intelli
gent citizenship and enable
them to succeed in the fight for
success.
GOOD FOK RHEUMATISM.
Last fall I was taken with a!
very severe attack of muscular j

"Cotch at it. "

• There was a negro once, so

asked if he did not know that it
was wrong to steal. '"No, boss,

This is about the notion Re
publicans have of the wrong in
assessing Fedearl office holders
in the State to raise funds to
pay the poll taxes of the negro

The Minister's Wife.
Although divorces are rare
among evangelical ministerial
families, New England courts
have been granting quite a
number of late, the wife being,
strangely, the defendant in each
recent case.
The divorce has been granted
to the husband on the ground
of desertion by the wife. In
each case the defense spt up by
the deserting wife is that the
social duties imposed by the
husband's position were intol
erable, mentally and physically,
and thai the salary was insuffi
cient for the burdens of social
reciprocity.
All who have known any
thing of the struggles of a min
ister's wife will be disposed to
sympathize with this plaint,
while not approving the course
adopted by the recalcitrant.
Ministers' salaries have ad
vanced along a narrow path
trod by the insignificant popu
lar minority of preachers. The
great majority* of preachers are,
in fact, paid less than formerly
on an average because, while
salaries have not advanced, the
cost of living has increased.
Living is better than formerly,
more hygienic, more comforta
able, more luxurious, but, also,
much more expensive.—Chica
go Chronicle.

DO YOU WANT TO VOTE?
It is materially essential that
every white man, who is re
quired to pay poll tax should
have his tax receipt on or be
fore May Ist, 1902. No danger
confronts us on account of the
educational qualification among
our people because those that
cannot read and write as pre
scribed by the Amendment to
the Constitution, could vote on
Jan. Ist, 18G7, or prior thereto,
and if not in this class, they
are the lineal descendants of
some person who could, and
hence the white people of Har
nett county will not be effected
along this line by the new law.
This part of the Amendment
to the Constitution has been
considered the most vital part
of it —and is, to all except the
white people—the part that
effects the white people we are
now endeavoring to impress
upon the public. That is Sec.
4 of Chap. 11, of the Adjourned
Session 1900 of the Legislature
of North Carolina which re
quires that "before he (the
elector) shall be entitled to vote
he shall have paid on or before
the first day of May of the year
in which he proposes to vote,
his poll tax for the previous
year as prescribed by Article V.
Sec. 1, of the Constitution."
This section only applies to
persons between the ages of
twenty-one and fifty years.
Those voters who are over fifty
will not be effected by this part
of the law. But those elecors
who are less than fifty will
have to see that their poll tax
is paid on or before the first of
May 1902—unless the County
Commissioners have released
such voter on account of pov
erty or infirmity—or they
a good chance to lose their
vote iu the coming election of
this year. The tax required to
Ixj paid is the poll tax for the
year 1901 and not for 1902 as
some have understood it to be.
We will have an entirely new
registration in North Carolina
this year to put in force and op
eration our Constitutional
Amendment which was so
triumphantly ratified at the
August election 1900 and in
ihis registration it will have to
be shown that these poll taxes
have been paid by those who
" are of taxable age and applying
for registration.
The Secretary of State of
Louisiana informs us that a
■ number of worthy men were
" not put upon the permanent
• roll because thi* feature of the
law was overlooked. This was
' also true in another state in
which franchise laws have been
recently passed, but there's no
' reason why this should occur
; in this state and especially in
Harnett County.
Then let every patriotic cit
izen bestir himself to see that
every white man obtain this in
formation and get himself on
the permanent roll this year—
-1 which will contain all that is
' noble, true and good of the
electors of this grand old com
monwealth.

Jury System Wrong.
The Charlotte Observer thinks
. that there is something wrong
with the jury system in Ameri
ca. Ta a long article, in which
a number ai eminent jurists are
quoted the Observer had the
following to say :
' "The American judical sys
tem seems to have slipped a cog
.or two somewhere. Certain it
is that the machinery is not
manifest injustice of verdicts
moves it; the abnormal number
> of pardons granted by governors
[ of states, often at request of
t trial judge and jury, who testi
} fy that exact justice has not
r been meted out, prove it; the
j confession of jurist themselves
prove it. an the current num
[ ber of the Forum, Judge Bruce.
in writing along this line says :
s 'We are beginning to realize the
G necessary uncertainty in the
„ judgments of all human testi-
mony, the frailty of the human
mind and memory, and, above
all, the inherent difficulty of
making others see things as we
' see them ourselves." The "un
s certainty in the judgments" of
. tribunals is indeed manifest.
! And not only does this element
5 ! of uncertainty apply to juries
but even to judges.

Jesus and the Hypocrites. i
We have often thought about
Christ's attitude towards the
hypocrites. In the deepest
sense of the word hypocrisy is
the only siu ; everything else is
mere error.
The Master looked with love
and pity upon all classes of peo
ple, but the hypocrites alone
seem to tax his patience.
What can be the explanation
of positive evil? Why will peo
ple be dishonest at heart? Who
can tolerate the willful liar?
The nature of such evil is
probably unknowable. In God's
mind only can the solution be
found.
Sometimes we wonder wheth
er the fundamental error which
humanity makes is not its theory
of sin.
The great John Fiske thought
that sin was a part of God's
plan. He suggested that sin
might have been placed here
for our instruction. Some
ministers objected on the ground
that this was consecrating evil,
but nobody has pretended to
give a better explanation.
Christ gave a remedy for sin,
but He did not explain its na
ture.—Rocky Mount Motor.

Some One Else Got His Briae.
•
Louisville, Ivy.—Harry Hill,
a railroad man of this city,
went to English, Tnd., to marrv
a girl who had been his sweet
heart for years, but he returned
to Louisville to night with
another girl as his bride. When
he arrived at English he found
that his financee had married
another man, so he selected a
girl from his first sweetheart's
bridal party and married her.
He said tonight:
"I went to get married. I did
not catch the noon train and it
was about 8 o'clock when I got
there. The wedding was to be
in the afternoon, and of course,
I was late. But that did not
cut much ice, with the girl."
She just married another man
and they were having a high
old time when I got there. Well
it was pretty tough 011 me to
walk in there and find another
man married to my girl.
"There were a few guests
and among them was a girl I
used to know pretty well. I
told her how it was and she
saw it the same way, audit was
■ not much trouble to get a li
cense and less to get a preacher,
' and the whole thing was over
. in a little while and I'm happy.
