A easy to yo?-HV4U4 upon n f .a - In View of the Ratification . of the Amendment. s ' Biblical Recorder. m 'f ; : Tbe Amendment to the Consti tution of Nor:h Carolina was rat ified by the people August 2, It will go into effect in July, 1002, provided it is not declared uncon stitotioual, Jta purpose is -: to eliminate from the body politic tbe ignorant negroes of NortL Carolina without depriving any white man of ihe ballot If that part of it which protects the suf frage of white citizens khould be found unconstitutional, and the courts should leave the other seo tions unmolested, ' the political party that proposed the Amend ment and nearly every man who voted for it will have the whole of it undone, and try another metb ed. " But we hope tbli will not have . to be done, and we have good reason so to hope. :. : . . The Amend mentis expected to disfranchise about 80,000 negroes and to lay Aside, if not once and for all, at least for twenty years every possibility of the dangerous influence In politics of the negro vote, and so lay aside the negro issue. This done, we have several things promised us and some others that we may rightfully expect. ' . 1, We have' it promised that tbe free schools shall be greatly improved, Mr. Aycock and all the men who . have helped him campaign have promised this We snail look for do paltry deal ing v with this promise, no little provision a fulffllmen'.of eo great a promise. IJut we shall look for such - provision for the free schools that in every county they may he maintained at least four months in reach of all. the children; and that teachers shall be paia a sum sufficient to com mand men and women of ability and preparation1 ' To this eud let every reader take his stand now. 2. We have it promised that new issues sbaU be introduced in North Carolina, ' and that ' every man shall be res peo ted in his consideration - and treatmen t of them. Henceforth, if ' a citizen desires to vote for a Prohibition condidate," iet that man who charges that be is dividing the people for evil be discouutenano ed. If one decides that he is bound to vote for th Administra lion's present policy in the world at large and especially in our new l possessions, rather than-for ao interruption and reversal of that policy, let the man who differing with him undertakes to do other than candidly persuade and rea son with bim . be regardea as the worker of evil and unpatrotio And so with all Issues. Let us have, first .honorable questions Let us, secondly, respect each man's-right to vote bis mind. These ' two better things we have had promised as from a thousand; platforms. We have tbe right to demand them. Be sides we have justly to expect, in view of the ratification of the Amendment: - J 1. . Abatement of the baleful partisan hatred that has grown so rife in North Carolina,, There should be no more ostracism. There eugbt to ; be no further effort at d rawing social lines. We ought to recognize each man as a citizen, a fellow-servant, a fellow sovereign, a fellow worker for the improvement -of the world. We shall be done with epithets, con tume!y, hatred, and seek reason With truth. - t " - 8 We have right to expect to be freely suffered to give more consideration to moral character in selecting men for office, And instead of making common cause and accepting whole tickets .re gardless of personal qualities, to discriminate, and freely refuse to vote agtinst unfit or unworthy caodidates Political parties must respect' the-moral consci ences or ine Tengious . people. And in State an I county u fairs, we ought to vote, witb regard more to men than platforms. 8. We have 'to demand tba' there sbaU be no more "red-shirt'' br'gaies. We have contemplated the rise of these organizations with dread Their purpose and method are subversive ' of 'the fundamental principles for which our fathers died nod upon which our Nation lives. To foster ii further will be dangerous to the last degree. We propose that every good citizen shall pledge bimtelf to discourage by every means any semblance of ured ehirts" or other like bodies. 3; - -.4. We have it partially promis ed, and we certainly have tbe righ t .to demand that ou r elec lion laws shall be absolutely" fair; that each party concerned shall be fairly represented in registration, at the polls and in tbe court, All parties in North Carolina' have been' guilty here. Let them sin no more or sin, if they will,-at their peril.. " 6. We have . tbe right to expect that the priceless principle of free speech in a free land shall be utterly ' respected: and tiat the ii an who interferes- with - aty speaker shall be promptly arrest ed and prosecuted. - 6. We have right to expect thai the colored people will receive better treat meet. '' They have been treated very well by many; but In recent years the whole race has been made to bear the sins of a few evil doers. . Oor proper relation to the negroes,'s one of .helpfulness. We have eliminated tbecolored voW; butlel us not forget that we have the problem of the colored man yet to solve. , We must minister to the negroes. If they lack sanity, we must give them light; If they are ignorant, we must try and make them good: A defect discovered is "a call for a remedy at your hands. The colored people are our fellow-men. All rtces are of one blood, are derived from one man and he from God. God is no respecter of persons We must educate .them, we must lead them. , " These are some of tbe things we have right to demand or ex pec t The people have power to bring them to pass. Oar liberties are in oor own banjs. Our honor is in our own hearts. Our wel fare is ours to conserve or de stroy' ' . , , - : God gives us the Stale. We have it to maka the most of.. We are working towards an ideal government We' strive torfiud God's will as to our relations, and as we find it and incorporate it into our lives, we approach per fection. Citizenship is no secular relation. I- is that relation; in which one seeks to apply God's will as to his relations to his fel lows in the conduct of general order. We ought to pray God to show v us His wilL We have our high duty to God of working out in His name an 'ideal government in North Carolina For this -tie -led our fathers; for this they labored; in hope of thiB they died. We draw nearer now to lealizution God grant that the pur pt sea of the readers ol this paper may be high and noble and that their hearts may be courageous and patient and sin cere. -4L "'" . War and Agriculture. Although from a regretable cause, the outlook for American agriculturists for the next year or tw.) seems very bright, . This is because of the unseUed condi tions in Asia, Africa and tha Phil ippines. - - Great Britain, always alare consumer or roreigu proaucts, will, for some years, be compelled to maintain an army of occupa- tiur. in the two African repnblicas that she is now conqueriogt be sides her armies in Egypt, India and China. Russia must fight the Mongol to retain the Vast country she has taken from China; France must also fight for t)er Asiatic empire, and she is threatened with revolt fa bet colonies in Morocco. Political unrest in Germany and revenge on Chine, ihe latter of which now seems to fill Emperor William' mind . to the exclusion of reason, will add to tha military burdens of tbe Fatherland. Thus, if America caa avoid th evil of militarism, and her men ot brawn can be kept busy in th ranks of our inofastria! army, oi our farms, and In our mines aor5 (ictories, the result will be ai abundance of agricultural sanc manufactured products will be ii Strong demand in Europe, Africi and Asia at good prices.- Not folk Virginian Pilot Child Shivery. ;Wt haive .from ilnie to time written of child lubr In the cot ton mills of this Staie-.Last week we referred to one . phase of it. This week we waottoquote fiom AD opinion bandedrdwn by the Supreme Court Ol florin Caroli na, 'Judge Clark t writing; the opinion. J.t was i 'the case of Ward vs. tbe Maniifaoturing Co. Judge Clark said: , y( '. ' 'The judge very proWrly adverted to the immaturity and-neiperienoe of a child 11 years of "age employed in a large manufaotorjsj filled with dangerous maohiner Una told the jury correotly that, if that Vas the oaaseof-hh approaohlhihe danger, he was not guilty tfiontributory negligence. 'The huft)oity of the age has, in very manf the States, plaoed on the statu Jelbooks, laws forbiddiog the employment of child ren under 14 years oftyp in faotories So far as these statnt Wop, the inhu-manity-of shuttinavtt'fhese little prisoners 11 to 1)4 hprs day (the ordinary factory louif this state, acoording to the statoffloial pub lications) in the stiflirteatmosphere of such buildings, or depriving them of opportunity-for edtation, or us ing the competition of cfieap wages to reduce those of matiir'agr, these are arguments on ' tnatters.oi' public policy whicb ; mnsf ?e addressed solely to tbe ' legislative" department But there is an aspeen which the matter is for the courts; that is whether it is negligsnrje per se for a great factory, to- take children of such immature development of mind and body, and expose them for 12 hours per day to tbe dangers inci dent to a great hniMin'g . filled with machinery constantly whirring at a high speed. The children, without opportunity of -education, without rest, their strength, ,'overtaied, their perceptions blunted, by fatigue, their intelligence dwarfed by their tread mill existence, are overliable to acci dents. Can it be said that suoh lit tie creatures, ' -exposed to such dan gers again 8 1 their wills, are guilty ol contributory negligence,- the de fence here set up? i" Does the law justly interpreted, visit suoh liability upon Ultle-vfaitdttaur From, the de. fendant's brief it would seem that this child had been put to work in the factory at 8 or 9 years of age, as it states he had been working there over two years when injured. Wheth er they are, thus imprisoned at work too early fay the necessities of their parents or not it is not the consent of the children, It is hot law, as the appellant's counsel insists, that the P -L , ; i 'a. 1J1.11 1 lautory - cumpauj in uui iiauie, ue cause the father hired the child to the company. It is- the child's eye which was put out, not the father's. The father could hot sell his child, nor give the company 'the right to expose him to danger.' .Tne factory superintendent put these children to work, knowing their, immaturity of mind and body; and, when one of them, thus pkced by him in places requiring constant watchfulness, is injured, every sentiment, of justice forbids that the corporation should rely on the plea of contributory neg ligence. The judge certainly com mitted no error in leaving it to tbe jury to find that there was no con tributary negligence, if the child in curred the danger which put out his eye by reason of his ignorance aris ing from bis lm maturity of years and inexperience. Affirmed." : This is righteous law. There is teed for a direct statute by tbe Legislature of North Caroli na, forbidding the employment of any child under 12 years oi age in a cotton mill in the state. and not then until that child has attended school for at least twen ty months. By such a taw the children would be protected from tbe ceaseless burning of the mill and at tbe same time given a chance to fit themselves for life. Tbe coming legislature would do itself only jus'ice to enact sucn a faw. N. a Baptist. Ifs the Baby. If yob lose a pouol in flesh it doesn't matter much.

' By taking Hood's Sarsaparilla now you may build up your health and pre vent serious illness. - . - : As to tha. Colored People. Scotland Nfck Commonwealth. ' - Considering the nature of tbe contest through wbioh the two races have just passed in the elec tion on the amendment, tbe color ed people of North Carolina are to be highly commended in their demeanor through it all. ' By ho fault of theirs, they have been taught by white men ever since their freedom that theii success as iree men consisted in the right to vote and bold office. This one idea has doggedly domi nated the entire colored race in North Carolina for more than t third of a century. It took hold upon them, as a race firmly witb their first privilege of the ballot, and a generation has been born and grown up in tbis unwayering faith of their future as a nice. No wonder a measure which promised to take ihe ballot out of the bandsof tbousar ds andtbou sands of tbe race stirred them to strong opposition; no wonder they felt that their dearest rights were to be torn from them, for they bad ; been taught by their own race and by their bosses :t the white race that this right was in alieneale with them and ought to be for all time. Of course every one who thinks a moment knows why any white man in North Carolina or in the South any where should lead these people into such faith; but that does not alter the conditions as they touch the colored people. Be it said to their credit, the negroes were more 'Uw abiding throughout North Carolina than the white people is some places wem;' and really the people who have gained suoh a signal vie to ry in carrying the amendment cannot now afford to use itfor the humility of the negro. We must treat the race right under all circumstances, or else we shall belie the declarations made from every hustings in North Carolina, as well as through the entire Democratic press of State, And we doubt not that tb'is will be done, Better feeli ng will obtain between ibe races than since 1865, and the colored people already see it and we he lieve ihey are already appreoiat- ing it. No Longer an Issue. (Raleigh Morning Post.) The Post will take no part, in tha attempt to revive the negro issue. That was the issue upon which tbe recent contest was waged and won by tbe white peo ple irrespective of party. It was vital then, involving the home life and home government of the people. Tbe negro submits to the situation, and the highest die tates of humanity, to say nothing of other reasons, ..suggests that he be allowed to rest ia peace, go about his daily vocation uodis lurbed, ai d that every opportu nity be given , him to make of himself a contented as well as a useful citizen. His opportunity for disturbing tbe white people. in tbe early future certainly, or the opportunity for any one or power to use him to disturb has been reduced to the minimum. He realizes this as fully as others and therefore, in accordance witb our promise as well as the de mands of higher interests, be should be allowed to pass from view as a political - issue. Tbe people who voted for the Amend ment on the 2nd. inBt believed they were settling this issue, and the attempt to revive it in the ab sence of all : ana tne slightest disposition on the part of the negro to resent it, will not only hurt those and their cause, who attempt It, but will be regarded by many as a violation of tbe pledges and promises of the late campaign. , There are other and weighty issues involved in the fall election which the people- will wish to discuss And hear discussed. And the negro is- not one of them. thank Heaven. "My baby was terrible sick with the diarrhoea," says J. H. Dotit, of Williams, Oregon. ; "We were una ble to oure him with the doctor's assistance, and as a last resort we tried Chamberlain 'si' Colio, Oholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. 1 am happy to say it gave immediate relief and a complete cure."

"One of ihe comparatively few things that tbe hand of improve ment has not touched is the cow bell, which is made now just as it was a hundred or more years ago, and has now just the same peculiar clanking soundsasever," said a bell manufacturer to the Writer, recently. ' "Cowbells are made ;some of copper and some of a composition metal; but most of them are made of iron and fin ished witb a coating of bronze. The cowbell Is not cast; It is out from a sheet of metal, which is folded Into shape and riveted. The metal cap at the top, through which the strap is passed, is ri - vted into tbe belL Cowbells are made of ten sizes, whose sounds range through an octave- ' Some times musical entertainers who play upon bells of one sort and another come to us and by eelec tion among bells of one sort and another come to us and by selec tion among bells of various sizes find eight bells that are accurate in scales 'There are only four faotories in the United States in which cowbells are made, and in each case the cowbell is only an rtem of production among ot nor things Cowbells are sold all over, tbe country, just the same as ever, but much the greater number is sold in tbe South, the Southwest and the West where farms are larger, less likely to be under fence and cattle are more apt to stray. American cowbells art exported quite largely to tbe va rious coul tries of South America and also to Australia. Ex. Oar Duty to the Negro. Raleigh Christian Advocate. The State bas just passed through another exciting election perhaps the most exciting in its history, ' A victory has been won not for any party, Democratic Republican or Populist but for a principle deeply embedded in the Southern heart and in fact in the heart of the whole nation. A majority of votes has recorded its conviction, and that Cauca sians, from the human standpoint must be tbe arbiter, of theirown destinies. Let us now look for peace and the burying of all aoi mosties. Let all citizens bend tbeii efforts toward promoting by wise legislation and good citizen ship the prosperity of our com mon country Let it not bo for gotten that tbe black man, more than ever, demands our good will and good offices. May all - dis charge their duty in the fear of God and with (rood will to all men. The Joy of Cares. "Precious cares" was the phrase we heard a mother apply other day to her three little child ren. It is clear what she meant. Tbe care of a child, its training and education, to any one who has a proper sense of parental duty, is one of the most taxing of human responsibilities. Except to a few wealthy persons it meaus tbe sacrifice of leisure, comfort and many opportunities, and yet it is so rewardful that some of the chief joy s of life come through this self sacrificing ministration The true parent gains far more than be or she loses. The care, perplexing and exhausting as it often is, opens a fresh fountain of happiness in the depths of the inner life. So it always is; the path to tbe deepest and fullest satisfactions. You can attain a certain sort of happiness in iso laiiou from common human ex perience, in shirking responsibil ities, and in choice of the easiest way, but the loss outbalances the gam. When you abut . out oi your life a helpfulness toothers; a responsibility ot a burden that you might justly assume, you are not only closing tbe door to care, but, to joy. Ihe Watchmau.
