TEX AMJESDMJEST. There are few white men, we im agine, who would not eagerly vote for ha nfmrtinor 'snffrape amendment to our State Constitution if they believed that it would eliminate the corruptible and purchaseable negro vote, and at the same time disfranchise no white man. The study of the racial question, so familiar to the ante bellum South crner, and so contemptuously ignored bv the conquerors of the South, has been pressed home to the people of the "new" South by their experience of ne fro-inspired rule in these later years, and to the neoole of the new North by the Eawaian and Philippine problems, Every one now understands that only the Anglo-Saxon is fit for self govern ment under any eircumstanees, and that when the eircumstanees are such as exist in America where the Anelo- Saxon wrested the land from its savage 'owners and redeemed it from the pri meval forest it is a historic and senti mental, as well as a political, crime, to dilute his rule over his own by sharing it with an antipodal race. - These things, we believe, are now generally admitted. Does the proposed amendment, then, violate the profes sions of its promoters! We say, em phatically, no. It will disfranchise no white man (except for crime,- as now) who will take the trouble to register between now and 1908. We shall, from time to time, take np this matter in detail; but, to-day, eon- tent ourselves with assertion of the general proposition just put forth. ' Ike Dniauaar Vote. A Uinta Journal. We hear much about the vote of this or that element or nationality in our varied and complex population and witness many efforts to placate or catch it. In these calculations too little at tention is paid to the vote and influ ence of the great host of traveling salesmen. There is no brighter or more active set of men in our country, hardly one that takes a livelier inter est In politics. The issue which will most concern the drummers in the presidential con test this year is that which the trusts have forced into politics. A great majority of traveling sales men regard the trusts as their deadly enemies and long to see curbed the growing power of , combines to crush competition and restrain trade. Without regard to their previous political preferences and affiliations, most of these men are convinced that there is very little hope of relief from the trust evil through the Republican party. They are not deceived by the promises of the leaders and advocates of a party which is largely responsi ble for the existence of trusts, a party for whose continuance in power the trusts are working; and to compass which the trusts will contribute a vast corruption fund. They know how strong is the reliance of the Republi can party upon the potency of cam paign boodle, and how lavishly the trusts will contribute to the Republi can campaign fund. The drummers see every day the effect of trusts upon their friends and fellow-laborers. They see them thrown out of employment, often the employ ment to which they have given years of study and devotion, the only em ployment for which they are fit, by the merciless operation of business consolidation. There is scarcely a travelling salesman who is not dis turbed by the thought that his turn may come next. Is it strange that he considers the trust his foe and that he is determined to strike it when he can ? Is it not natural that he should look for better protection of his Interests to the Demo cratic rather than the - Republican party ? The drummers will be heard from In this year's great campaign. Their name is legion, and in influence as well as number they are a host. Ipteial Offtr to Oar Ksadsrs.

Political Outlock after Six Witu c- palgnlng. Daagtr la Ovsreonfldsaet! A talk with Candidate Preparing ior Extra Legislative sssBicn The "Sum mer CapitaT-Fourth District Con gressman Nomerons News Notes. From Our Regular Correspondent Raleigh, N. C, May 29, 1900. choral of the Democratic State can didates were here last weeic, ana 1 toiirl with them. It has been six weeks now since they began their splendid campaign. Witnin mat period they have done much for the cause they represent. So far as argument ana oratory alnnor general lines would accomplish it. they have made converts 01 many who listened to the great political truths thev oroclaimed for the man a 0 m who will not be impressed through the medium of such a skilful debater ana peerless orator as the matchless Ay wV ronnot be reached bv such me thods. PERSONAL WORK REQUIRED. And here is the first point I desire raise: All voters cannot be reacnea by such means; as a matter 01 tact, there is a large percentage 01 who are laboring under error in this campaign that will never be brought within the fold of Democracy by this method alone, I fear and in making this assertion I am supported by no le9s authority than Mr. Aycock him self. Personal work is needed! . Democrats want to talk and argue with their neighbors about the great issue ot this campaign, . especially in the west where many welJ-meaning white men have been lied to by the opposition with regard to the effects upon them of the adoption of the amendment. A world of good can be accomplished in this way. DANGER OF OVERCONFIDENCE. Another matter of importance is to guard against that often fatal error, overconfldence. - I have seen and talked with several of the candidates on the State ticket the past week. While all of them are exceedingly hopeful and sanguine and almost assured ot success certainly if the election should occur to morrow yet each of them spoke of the dan ger of overconfidence. Let our people -keep np the lick" till after the clos ing of the polls. Be not weary in well doing. Relax not your efforts nor your vigilance for a single day. a sin gle hour. The enemy's campaign will be carried on largely on bushwhack ing principles and you've got to watch 'em. Keep your quickest and most re liable finger on the trigger of action constantly; meet and disprove these current falsehoods with which the en emy is attempting to poison the minds of illiterate voters, and negro domina tion will in August be made impossi ble again in North Carolina forever. But all good Democrats must be con stantly alert, vigilant and active to accomplish this good result. ' There is none so humble that he cannot do something ior the cause. . ACTION OF THE EXTRA SESSION. We are beginning to make arrange ments here to receive the legislators who will soon assemble in adjourned session, and it Is to be hoped that every Democratic member will be present. While, of course, no general legis lation will be taken up, it is probable that a few matters which urgently de mand attention just now will receive it. Three of these are the passage of the Textile School bill; the legalizing of the State Primary for Senator, and the modification of the law which un expectedly compelled some of the leading insurance companies to cease business in North Carolina a result never intended. Speaking of this latter 'contingency today a prominent Democrat, in no way connected with insurance matters, said to me: "I made some enquiry into this matter and found that seven of the companies which have found it necessary to withdraw (on account of conflicting provisions, in their home charters) are the leading ones of the country and most reliable, and that by their withdrawal the State is now being deprived of a great deal of revenue enough to pay the salaries of every State official in the eapitol building!" As there is no earthly reason why this state of affairs should eoutiuue, it would seem to be well worth the brief space of time it will take the Legisla ture to remedy the error. , I hear that when the session adjourns it will not be a sine die adjournment, but that another recess will be taken, so that if necessary the body can again assemble in adjourned session. NORTH CAROLINA'S "StTHHKS CAPITAL." The gayebt place in Noith Carolina for the next fonr months, and the most comfortable and enjoyable, will be Morehead City and when we say Morehead City we mean of course the Atlantic Hotel there, which is the big gest part of the "city" and the meeea of pleasure seekers and tired out busi ness men and their families on the bunt for a suitable place to recuperate. For several years the "Atlantic" has been one of the most popular seaside re sorts in the South, but this season (and the season there begins next Friday) it will eclipse all former records and vie and compete in the splendor of its en tertainment . with any similar resort North or South. I had a talk today with Mr. Beaure gard Poland, the traveling representa tive of the "Atlantic," and in reply to my enquiries anent the character of the guests and the territory to be drawn on this season, be surprised me bv showing a partial list of the "bookings" ne nas maae i&tely in reserving accom modations for some of the best known public men and representative business and professional men (and their famU lies, always) in seven States, viz , Ken tocky, x Tennessee, Alabama. South Carolina, Virginia. Georgia. Missis sippi, and also Washington, especially 1 rum menmono, Allan's, as well as maay other Southern cits and towns. Many of these names any one would recognize by reputatii n. As. to North Carolina, the manage ment state that they have never had such a large nor so desirable a erowd as is promised this season, and Drena rations for their comfort and entertain ment were never so elaborate and well looked alter before. This season the Messrs. Barbee of Raleigh, proprietors, hare secured tw6 of the best hotel and summer resort men in the country to manage the At lantie Messrs. G. W. and L. W. Sao- ville of Atlanta, proprietors of the Ara- gon Hotel of Atlanta. It is said their superior is not to be found. Next Friday night, Jane 1, the open ing ball will take plaee in the magnifi cent bail room of the Atlantic, and iron o on there will be a constant rguuu 01 important and pleiurabl events taking place. Raleigh will send several hundred guests, including most of her beautiful women. FOURTH DISTRICT CONGRESSMAN. I hear very little anent the Congres sional nominee in this the 4th (Ral eigh) district. Like the Republieaos in several districts, the Democrats of this district are holding the matter in abey ance until after the State and eounty election is over. The three names most prominently "mentioned," in a quiet way, so far, are tnose or. me present incumbent (Hon. J. W. Atwater of Chatham), Solicitor E. W.Pou of John ston, and Hon. Edw. Chambers Smith of this eity. The latter was the most brominent name discussed np to the time it was decided to "endorse" Mr. Atwater (Pop.) who had announeed his candidacy in opposition to the Pop.- ReD. nominee (Jenkins) who had de feated the existing incumbent (Strowd, Mr. Atwater's brother in law) because he elunir too tenaciously to Pop. doe- trine in Congress and declined to wear Holton's "uniform." Like Mr. Strowd, Mr. Atwater had Democratic "leanings" and since his election he has generally voted with the Democrats on all public and nartv Questions. Whether the convention will decide that it is oolitic and desirable to nomi nate Mr. Atwater or some gentleman "untainted" with Populism is a question which, in the determination, it will -be larsrelv lcnaeneed probably oy tne at titude of the delegates from Chatham, Mr. Atwater's borne eounty, though or course it is possible that it may go eon trarv to ther suesrestion. It looks, as though Roanoke Island will cat a Raleich monument (to eost f 6,000) at last, through the efforts, chief! r, of Con gressman fcmau. Ana macs rigns, nr Sir Walter's visit to that snot had consid erable to do with the presence of Mr. Small and the balance of Congress in Washington to-day if you will permit the observation. ' Piesident McNamee of the state rair hopes to secure the presence of a troop of United States Cavalry at the next fair. Tneir macoeuvrea will be well worth your time to witness. Bon. Bichard H. Battle of Raleigh, who has accepted the invitation of the Vanee Monument Committee to deliver the ad dress on the occasion of the unveiling of tha bronze statue of that eminent North Carolinian, in Capitol Park, was the pri vate secretary of Governor Vane daring his first term as the SUte's Chief Magis trate, during the war, and is as familiar with his snbieet as anv living man. Mr, Battle is, moreover, one of the most pol ished orators and interesting speazera in tha State, having- few equals as sneh. It ia an admirable selection and the address alone, will be worth eomur miles to hear. The cotton mill men are said to be p?eased at the drop in the price of cotton. Aa tha staDle is nearly all out of the hands of the growers, the farmers will not suffer much loss. It is the speculators who are on the "mourners' bench" now. Dr. George T. Winston has just comple ted his first Tear as president ot the A. A M. Colleee here, and the splendid work that he has accomplished is very gratify ins: to his friends and the . friends of the Colleee. Next week I hope to give von some interesting information along this line. The unveiling of the statue of Governor Vance will probably be deferred two weeks and not take place July 4. A nam ber of good reasons for this have been ad vaneed to the committee, one of which ii the absence from the 8tate (at Democrat ic National Convention) of a number of prominent gentlemen who would like to be present, ete.

Your correspondent has been nnwell most of the time since his return from the State Convention is the reason why no communications have appeared in this department. The Democratic County Convention convened at Elirabethtown on the 23rd iost. It was called to order by Hon. C. C. Lyon, Chairman of the County Exe cutive Committee. W. 1. Shaw, JSsq was made permanent ebairman and Messrs. D. T. Perry and F. M. Willis, secretaries. The following ticket was nominated viz: : House of Representatives . F. Me Cullocb. Sheriff C. W. Lyon. Treasurer W. 8. Clark. Register of Deeds J. S. Williamson Commissioners C. P. Parker, W. K. Anders and K. L- Bndger. Coroner Dr. G. L. Clark. Surveyor J. W. Downing. The convention was well attended by leading democrats from all seetions of the eounty and all express their eon fidenee in gaining an overwhelming victory in August. One noticeable feature was the pres enea as delegates of a number of gen tlemen who in the past have been prom inent in the councils of the Populist party, but who have now abandoned the sinking ship of populism and re turned to the solid ground of demo eraey they have come to stay too.

Harold Jaooby in New York Commetdal Adver On May 28 the sun will be totallv eclipsed, and the event will be visible in parts o" the United states. Occasionally, as we know, the moon passes between us and the snn, cutting off the latter's light completely. This we call a solar eclipse. Lunar eclipses, on tha other hand, are caused by the such a position that the earth is directly between it and the sun. The moon has no inherent brill iancy like the son 1 it shines only by reflecting solar light ; and when that igbt is eut off, the moon simply "goes out." But the sun is self luminous, and is in reality shining just the same under eelipse as at any other time. In the former, the moon having suddenly eeased to receive or reflect light, the eelipse is observable wherever the moon, if uneolipsed, would be Tiiible. But at any given moment we ean usually see the moon from one-half the earth's sur face. Consequently, if a lunar eelipse takes plaea a majority of the earth's inhabitants have an opportunity to ob serve it, and thus a lunar eclipse is something that almost any person ean remember to have seen, cut it is very different with the. snn. As we have said, he continues to give light when eclipsed, so that it is only in plaees where the sun is actually covered op by the moon that he will seem to be eclipsed. The moon under eelipse is like a eandle mat nas been extin guished ; it is dark from whatever side we look at it. But the eclipsed sun is like a burning eandle, which will be invisible to him only whose view is ob structed by the interposition of some opaque objeet. That opaque oojeoi is me moon. Asm she is comparatively small and eannot render the sun totally invisible from more than a tiny oireular or oval spot on the earth's sutfaee. In the eelipse of May 28 that little spot will be only about 75 miles wide ; and if the moon were not in motion the total phase of the eelipse could be seen nowhere else. But the moon is travel ing all the time through space in its orbit around the earth. So the little spot is moving, too, and ebanging.its position gradually upon tne eartni surface. Thus, instead of a spot, we shall have a long strip or band about 75 miles wide ; and by waiting for the neht moment, it will be possible to see totality from any point within this band. The whole thing is muen aa thoueh there were a bnee peneil. with its point tonebing the earth, and nav ing its other end pointed to the snn. If the moving moon were then also attached to this peneil somewhere near the point, she woold draw the pencu along, and the point would trace ont the eclipse path on onr eatth. Any one standing in that path eould then look along the peneil, and at the proper mo ment see the moon covering the sua and obscuring the light. In places sit nated near this path of totality, as it is called, we shall be able to see the eclipse, but not. as a total one. For such plaees the moon will eover the sun only in part so that some of his brilliant surface will remain in sight. The amount of obscuration always de pends upon the observer's nearness to the totality line. The nearer be is, the more nearly total the eelipse will be. On May 28th the path ot totality be gins ia the Pacific oeean lust west of Mexico. There the point of the huge peneil we have imagined first touches our earth. . It then passes eastward serosa Mexico, and entering the United States near New Orleans, proeeeds in a northeasterly direction natil it leaves the continent close to Norfolk, Va. Then it crosses the Atlantic, touches Portugal, and afterward passes aeroes northern Africa, leaving the earth finally near the northern end of the Bed sea. In this eonntry the eities of New Orleans, La., Mobile, Ala., Mont gomery, Ala.. Baleieb. N. C. and Nor folk. Va., are all on the totality path. At New Orleans the sun will be eom plttely covered at 7:30 a. m.. while at Norfolk this will not happen until 8:53 a. m. In the former eity totality will last 73 seconds, and in the latter 102 seconds. At intermediate plaees both the time and duration of totality wii fall between these extreme values. For plaeas nearer to New Orleans than to Norfolk the numbers will be nesrer those given for New Orleans, and vie versa, ' The greatest interest centers about the physical observations possible du ring a total eelipse. Our son is not merely the blazing, brilliant, luminous e-lobe we see every day in the heavens. The fiery eenter ball has a vast outer appendage, stretching millions of miles into space the delicately tinted, ten uous filmy, unexplained corona. It is the corona that makes a total eelipse so beautiful, regarded merely as 4 spec tacle to be seen and enjoyed. Its light is mueh fainter than that of the sun;we ean see jt only when the latter is com pletely obscured. At all other times the bright light or the central ball ilia minates the air surrounding our earth so as to make it far superior in bright ness to the faint eorona; and observers looxiog perioree through this illumi nated air eannot distinguish the deli' eate tracery of the eorona itself. But when the advancing edge of the moon Slowlv eOVSra tha inn's aantral A', mm until at last only a narrow sickle shaped piece ia leu, me waning astronomers nave a lew moments of intense expee- tation. The sickle narrows gradually but a mere thread is left; yet even that is quite snffieient to mask the eorona. Then, suddenly, all is covered. On the instant, as though at the touch of a magician's wand, out bursts the splen did eorona into view. Tie a sight of beauty indescribable, impressive be yond comparison. Men that have been privileged to see it, ever after tell of its having given one of life's most ex eiting moments, never to be forgotten. But the quiet scientific investigator tries to make use of these rare oppor tunites to obtain some knowledge of the trne constitution of our sun. Before the corona's appearance, just as the brilliant eentral disc is being totally obscured, there are a very few brief important seconds when we receive light direct from the onter layers of the solar globe, and these moments effer the only chance to examine directly the glowing gases that make np the sun's outside envelope. Mueh of our solar knowledge has been thus gather ed painfully in the few fleeting minutes of observation made possible by suc cessive total eclipses. Then it is that we see great red flames flashing hun dreds of thousands of miles out into space. Curling, interlacing, ever chang ing, veritable eloudbnrts of living fire, these are proofs ot the power and vio lence of nature's bidden forces. The total eelipse of the sun May 28th will be visible as follows : u v.. Begins at Totality.

B..L Kanreeantative 'XalOert. or oouia Carolina, has been making another warm sDeeeh on Us recsion question bis text being the ease ot the Michigan man who draws S1.800 a year as a elerk in the Interior Department, and $L200a year as private Secretary to Representative w. emitn, or mioui ran. and who has been voted by Con grass a pension or $44 a mourn ior total disability. Representative H. C. ' . . . . . 8mith cited the ease of Jostioe Long, ot the 8upreme Court of Michigan, who draws a pension of $140 a month as an excuse for this case, and Mr. Talbert said in reolv: "Two wrongs do not make one right. The gentleman arks now because one man is robbing and plundering the government unjustly and nnmeritoriously, that another man mav be placed on the pension roll and receive a high pension. That is the trouble about this indiscriminate grab bing of pensions. One man gets in and another man wants to get in. Members have their friends and they will not vote against each other. Tbey will not have the reports read because thev sit here like dummies saying. Ob, thev will reach mv ease next.' That is what is the matter. You want to do a dozen wrongs to make one right and you want to continue to do wrong in order that yonr own eases may be fa vorablv acted noon. I want to see justice done bv the old soldiers and will help do it every time if I ean, but I do not want to give any soldier what be does not deserve. Senator Morgan iumped on the bp position to the Nicaragua Canal, which has apparently succeeded in hanging np the bill, in a speech in wnien ne did not minee words. He began with the six syndicates, organised under New Jersey laws for the purpose of eontroll ing canal routes on the Isthmus of Darien otlwhieb he said : "I think the assumption, arrogance and brazen faced audacity of these people have reached a climax." He charged that this government was submitting to the cuffing and badgering of the new rana ma Canal Company, which, in eonjune tion with the trans-continental railroad. inspired the opposition to the Canal bill, because a Presidential election is pending and that it is afraid to tackle any corporation . that has or professes to have some great power, and he asked : -"Is it to be said here that the President is a party to this ambidex trous and cross eyed political rascal ity V Mr. Morgan concluded with these plain words: "Toe President, who is a candidate for re-election, is in the hands of his friends, and his friends are the enemies of the Nicara gua Canal. I hardly know whether to say I hope fox the passage of the Canal bill at this session or not. That de- Eends upon two men upon this floor. I they are controlled by a determina tion that the revenues for Republican campaign purposes shall not be cut off from the great railroad and canal syn dicates, then the bill cannot pass at this session. The responsibility, how ever, must rest on them." The Spooner bill, making Mr. Me Kinley Czar of the Philippines, is dead for this session and probably for all time, as in addition to some republican opposition to it, the democrats .in the Senate have served notice that the bill would not be allowed to pass at this session and they have the power to make that notice good by simply re fusing to allow the bill to reach a vote. Mr. MeKinley who witnessed the eelipse today from Fort Monroe, whore it was total, ought to have got there from a good advance idea of his own total eclipse next November. Of course he need a government vessel to make the trip to and from Fort Monroe re publican officials seldom pay for any thing they can get for nothing by making use of their official anthority.

It will be of interest to the readers of the Obszbvxb who use MeElree's Wine of Carduiin their homes to know that the sale of this remedy has so increased dur ing the past year, that the manufacturers have again had to increase their capacity by the addition of another large building. It has often been said that an article that finds favor with the ladies is sure to achieve great sueee s. No more striking example of this eould be found than the history of Wine of CarduL From thous ands of ladies' lettSra received by the manufacturers, ike following are selected: From Mrs. Mary Paniowski, 33 Rose Street, Chicago, Ills. I have taken a bottle of Wine of Cardni and feet much better than when I wrote you. I did not have any pains at my last monthly periods. From Mrs.-M A. Thompson, Kalama zoo, Mich.

Seventy-First, May 23. 1900. A large congregation, as usual, at tended the communion service at Ga latia on last Sunday. Among those from other places we noted: Miss Chris tian Gillis and Mr. John Malloy from Parkton, Mr. and Mrs. Neill Mclnnis from Pembroke; Miss Mary Bay and Mr. Archie Bay from Bockfiab; Miss May Qillia and Mr. James Johnson from St. Pauls: Mr. Lauehhn Mclnnis from Shannon: Miss Minnie Bell fiom Lin den, and Mr. John EL Bay from Man Chester. Besides these there were 1 cumber of school boys and girls, whose vacation has just begun. Last week James Blue, the little son of Mr. D. G. Blue, while moving some corn in his father's barn, was bitten on the hand by a rattlesnake. The snake was of the most venomous type and the little fellow suffered agonies for several hours; but every remedy that suggested itself was applied quickly and success fully, so that his arm and hand, though still badly swollen, are no longer pain ful. Seventy-First lost her oldest, native several weeks ago in the death of "aunt" Jean Bay. It is affirmed and certified to by prominent and reliable eitixens that she was at least one hun dred and twelve years old. She was after the most strictest sect a negro of the old school and served several gene rations well and faithfully. Fitting funeral services were held in ber honor at Z ion's Wall, A. M. E. church, of which she was a member. Messrs. J. H. Carrie and A. D. Mo Gill will represent 71st at the Veterans Beunion at Louisville next week. Mr. Watson Fatrley has accepted a call to Eddy, New Mexico, where he will engage in evangelistic work. He will be a member of Forth Worth Pres bytery; and the church at Eddy is the most extreme point within the bonnds of the Southern Assembly. His friends will very mueh regret that we are to lose him from our own Presbytery, and will follow him with many good wishes for bis success and usefulness in the field he has ehosen. ' Bine's railroad is now completed to Mrs. J. T. TowLsend's, where a depot will be built. We hear that the road will not be extended further at present. Two of the convicts, (trusties), es caped from the stockade near McKin non's bridge Sunday morning. Tbey were sent to a spring near by to pro cure water, and did not return. They made good time north from the stock ade, and helped themselves to King Armstrong's olothicg while he was ab sent from his cabin and it is thought that they consigned their "stripes" to the silent oblivion of Bone's Creek. At the last accounts they had not been captured. .. Scotch Lassik. Veteran Leave Far IasiiaTllle.

Oates and McKethan were on hand according to appointment to discuss the issues of the day (the Amendment). Mr. McKethan made his second political speech for us, and it was a telling one tooand did a great deal of good. Mr. Mc Kethan made friends in our little town. Mr. Oates closed with his speech, and certainlv made us a ?6od SDeeeh. Mr. Oates has a good many friends out here and they like to hear him. The crowd was not as large as ex pected, owing to some misunderstand ing as to the place. Several of our fair sex intended being present, bat were disappointed as to the place and would, not go as there seemed to be too much low bush afloat, for them. After the speaking Mr. McKethan' helped us organize a White Supremacy Club, to be called "Cumberland Club." He acted as President for us until one was elected. Nominations being in order, the names of Messrs. S. R. Parker, D. P. McDougald and J. W. Hodges for President. J. W. Hodges was elected. The name of D. P. Mc Dougald was put in nomination for Vice-President, and he was elected. T. H. Holmes was elected Secretary. We organized with a very good number. Hope .we can haye a good Club by the 8th of June, and will try and erive Messrs. McNeill and Under wood a good crowd. All were highly pleased with the speeches of Messrs. Oates and McKethan.
