That of the Seaboard to Encourage Tree-Planting. The pople along the Seaboard AJr Line are requested to have a "good time" on the third Wednesday in March, which Is tho 21st day of the month. Recollect that the Seaboard Air Line Arbor Day comes each year on the third Wednesday in March. Met with the people at your nearest station, and have a good old time pic nlc dinner, and carry with you a half dozen trees to plant for shade. trees. (They ought to be about five to six feet in height) And-be able to tell your friends you have put out fruit and shade trees around your home. Young walnut tree.? are good for shade trees, and they are known to keep oft disease; but there are many other kinds of trees growing wild that will make nice shade trees. A street set out with young dogwood trees would soon be a beauty spot to any place, on account of their snow white blooms. 1 Plant what trees you can from now until March 21st at your own homo, and then celebrate tree planting at your nearest town on the Seaboard Air Line by planting a few trees and ded icating them to some of your friends or the dead. The secretary of the United States department of agriculture, Hon. Jas. Wilson, says, "The young should plant trees in recognition of the obligations to those who planted trees for them. The old should plant trees to illustrate their hope for the future and their con cern for those who are to come after them." Don't wait for your friend to plant the first tree this spring. Ba a leader in this good work yourself. The Industrial and (Station agents of the Seaboard Air Line will join with the people in doing what they can to encourage tree planting, and aid ?n having a great final wind up tree plant ing and celebration on Arbor Day, Wednesday, March, 21st. The Shelby, N. C, Aurora says: "Wednesday, the 17th, was duly ob served at 'Ellenboro, Rutherford coun ty, by the good people living in that section who came in early from the surrounding country, bringing with them trees of every description, and setting them out on the streets and sidewalks to the number of 900 or more." j Notes. - The State has chattered the Vans lory Clothing Company, of Greensboro, capital $18,000.

(Continued from 1st page.) - hot the quallflcation is nothing corn pared to the harshness of this meas ure. The objection I raise to the bill here and the objection with which I fought the measure in the committee room b that it is legislating purposely positively, and conclusively against one race; purposely, positively, and conclusively in favor of another race. Is it Judicious to work thi3 change In she law? I speak from an experience of fifty years as a citizen, and In which time I have had occasion to observe the prevailing condition in my State, and I tell you that the provliions are first of all unnecessary.' "Mr. Howard, of Challapoochee, op posed the bill. He said: ln my section of the State the negro who has never spent one day in school is the best citi zen of his class and the most intelli gent voter of his race. It has been my observation that education is not a test of citizenship. We are hedged in by the Federal Constitution which pro hibits us from barring any man from citizenship by reason of race, color or previous condition of servitude, and I can not see how the bill before the House can be considered in any light but as a violation of the provisions of that Const! tution. If we are to limit the franchise, it is a limit that should work alike in both races.' "Mr. Overstreet, of Screven, began with a statement that he would feel that he was doing the people of hl3 sec tion and State an injustice and falling far short of his duty to his constitu ents if he did not raise hl3 voice in op position to the pending: measure. He said: 'From the time when the fif teenth amendment, to the Constitution vy3 enacted up to the present day the best part of the negro race in Georgia has voted and stocd by the party to which I have the honor to belong, i would take pleasureln going on record as as favoring the elimination of the iginorant and purchasable voter of all classes of this State, but I am not in favor of the discrimination which is proposed in this bill.' "On the call of the ayes and nays, which were demanded, only three members, Mr. Hardwick. of Washing tan, Mr. Bell, of Forsyth, and Mr. El lis, of Bibb, voted for the bill. "Mr. "Hall, of Bibb, was against the bill, because it might be the means, he claimed, of interferrlng with the white voter. ' "In voting against the Hardwick bill Mr. Holder, of Jackson, had the follow ing to say: 'I oppose the bill because I believe it to be in violation of the Constitution of the Republic. 'But wre ft constitutional, it is not. rierhr, tn deprive any man of his ballot on ac count of his color. I believe in every man in this State being allowed to vote regardless of his color so long as he complies with the requirements of the State in paying taxes, working roads, responding to his country's call to go to arms when his services are needed, and as long as he is obedient to law. I oppose the measure because it will also disfranchise hundreds of honest white men who can not read and write and give a reasonable interpretation of the Constitution. I oppose it because it is unnecessary.' " I also insert some extracts from the debates in the Louisiana convention: DEMOCRATS IN LOUISIANA CON STITUTIONAL CONVENTION DE NOUNCED THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT AS VICIOUS AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL. In the New Orleans Times-Democrat of March 28, 1898, the views cf the Democratic members of the constitu tional convention in opposition to the amendment are given as follows: Mr. Clingman said: "I am opposed to section 5. I favor an educational or property qualification, with a poll tax, to take effect at the adoption of this constitution." Mr. Chiapella said: "I believe that section 5 is violative of the amend ments of the Federal Constitution, and ia conflict with the OoastTtotloti of the United States." Mr. Henry G. Hester sid: "In vo ti2 on this mcoscre in it earliest stages I have expressed my opinions to it, fearing that it t an U3 certain and dangerous experiment which may possibly defeat the malin objects for which this cocventioa was cabled." Dr. II. Dickson Ertms said: "I desire to be recorded as voting against Ordi nance No. 205, because I beliere it to be Indefensible In reason, law, or mor als, I vote 'fio" bec-ause, althryagh I have friends in the opposition in whose in tegrity I have the fullest confidence, I believe they tove been misled into that they will soon regret.

Stite." Mr. Soulat said: "Mr. President and geoitlemen, I desire to record my vote against the entire bill (205) for the fol lowing, among other reasons: "I consider that certain sections oi the bill are gCairiEgly unconstitutional, undemocratic, and un-American. "Were I alone in my opposition to this Dill, ?.cd pairtieularly to section 5, I would have remaimsd silent and not 'have 'Jeered another word on the floor ol this cenvenition, for the reason that I would have considered that I was in er ror; hut when 1 consider the fact that both of our Senators in Washington, and many of their associates, condemn in unmeasured terms said section and declare that out representation in Congress- and our Presidential electors might be jeopardized, and when, I fur ther consider the fact that a majority of the mieimibeirs of this very convenitlO'n have openly expressed their dissatls faction to some and were induced to vote for some only on. the p"ourd of expediency, I canao&t but take Jssao with the majority and urge that tue adaption of said sections 'will work groat Injuiry to the State at large and eventually cause the disruption of the Demiarraiio uartr in Louisiana, be cause 'it discriminates as between tlie whiles arid the blacks the whites against whites, end the native-born citizens against foreign or naturalized citizens."

After themselves di:avowing and and fiercely denouncing section 5. a' majority of the members of the const!-' tutional convention yesterday pai-sel that offensive section offensive to Democracy, to political honesty, and to Americanism. And the con-, ventlon, too, has passed this offensive section in the face of the fact that the ablest Democrats In the United States Senate have declared it to be unccnstl-- j tutional. Senators Caffeiy and Mc-; i Enery have boWi protested against its j passage and have declared that it con-! ! travenes the Federal Constitution.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat tas not since that time changed its orin ion as to the unconstitutionality of this measure. That paper in many recent editorials has repeated the opin ion that was expressed the day after the action of the convention. I read the following from au editorial of re cent issue: The people of North Carolina will vote in August on the proposed consti tutional amendment disfranchising the negroes from votiag, and which con tains the famous "grandfather douse"' borrowed from the Louisiana constitu tion. The grandfather clause which the Louisiana constitutional convention invented, is objected to as of doubtful constitutionality, contain ing elements of great danger, and be sides altogether unnecessary. The theory that the opposition to the grandfather clause c?mes from the Republicans is wholly untrue. The Northern Democrats have unanimous ly declared against. this plan of dis franchising the negro as unconstitu tional. WHAT THE WASHINGTON POST SAYS Hotr millyonr cough be tonight ? Worse, probably.

Such a pro vision -in my judgment violates the canons of taxation and the cause of suffrage as well. I think it is unwise. dangerous, inexpedient and contrary to the sound principles of govern ment." (Mr. Ohenet said: "I vote against the ordinance in its present form be cause, in my opinion section 5 is un constitutional." Mr. Drosman said: "I am opposed to poll tax as incorporated in this bill." Mr. Strickland said: "It contains a section, section 5, which, in my opin ion wall work great wremgs and dam age to the best interests of the people of the State, which violates the funda mental principles of free government, all the accepted theories of free gov ernment, all the accepted 'theories of suffrage, and is undemocratic, un- American, and unconstitutional. The adoption of said section 5 will, in my Judgment, compel the repeal of the Au stralian ballot law, a wise and good law, and without which a large major ity of the members of this convention could not have Jjeem elected, and whose enactment by a Democratic legislature was one of the best and most patriotic acts in the history of the State." flxr. w ise saia: 1 am opposed, to the adoption of this ordinance because I "believe an educational and property qualification in the alternative, with the payment of a poll tax as a prere quisite for voting would meet the exi gencies of the situation, and because I believe section 5 is unconstitutional and vicious and undemocratic in pri'a oiple. " Mr. C. JC. Browning said: T op pose section 5 on the grounds of it3 un constitutionality, and section 6 on prin ciple, believing such a requirement un American, undemocratic, and unjust, and by every honest and manly "method endeavored to defeat it, and have gone on record on these lines." Mr. J. T. Boon said: T oppose this ordinance for the following rea sons: The educational and property qualifications are placed beyond the reach of many of our best citizens. These citizens are too proud to vote because their father could vote. They desire to vote because they are white men and good citizens, and have al ways tried to do their duty as such. They are poor and unlearned, but hon est. Their property in consequence of depreciated values, Is not worth $300, and they will be unabler.without assist ance to file the application required for registration required by this ordi nance. The poll tax should go into ef fect at once. The fifth section is of such douihtiul crnshtuttanality as to cause me to withhold my support. For these reasons. I vole no." Mr. Paul Leche said: "I vote no Fir&t, because I beOieve section 5 of the ordinance Is unconstitutional; that it is unTaiir in giving naturalzed foreign ers an aioivautage over native citizens, and the Tfg!3tnattion thereunder i3 not sufficiently safeguarded against 'fraud. Mr. J. E. Mioore said: "I am unalter ably opposed to certaiin provisions cf the bill. I am opposed to section 5, because it is unconstitutional and, further, I regard that portion of it whirah allows the sons and grandsons of a certaiin class cf voters to vote with oust other qualifications as andem'acrat lie anid thoroughly vicious. Mr. Hart said: "I vote -against ordi namce 205, because I corisid'&r ssction Z J Now. .Mr. President, the mannest purpose or motive oi this clause is to discriminate to, favor of the whites and ;against the blacks; because it is a well known fact that c'a January 1. 1867, the blacks were not voters in Louisia na, and only the whites were electors. If this be so,.it is clearly made to debar the blacks as a class of citizens of the United! states from the right of suf frage, and in this manner violates the fif teenth amendment or xne v-'.-uiuui- tion of the United Estates. Rut I am told that certain states or the United States had granted to the Macks the right of voting prior to saiu f-aiff and therefore thi3 seotion does not discriminate againet that class. If the prohibition of the Federal Consti tution was limited to the color line that argument might be ccnx?rusi've, but the authors of that amendment oia stop there; they added the words, "pre vious1 condition of servitude. (Why Is it that the blacks were allow ed to vote in certain States and were denied thatTprivilege in "Others? It is simply because some few Northern States considered them citizens from the date of their emancipation and others denied them that rlghit, and why? Simply on account of their pre vious condition of servitude. It Is pa tent, therefore, that you are diisttriml narlng against certain colored citizens iu the very -teeth, of a conistitutional provision, of the United States Senate, and you thereby Tender not only tlhu seotion liable to a serious attack, bm the whole suffrage clause for the reason that if one brick in the edifice be de molished you make such, a (breach therein that it may all fall from that inherent defect. But I am told, Mr. President, that w must not he concerned as to the ef fects of laws; that a law -may 'be un constitutional in its effects, but may be nevertheless valid. This -would un questionably be true if the motive or purpose was oomstirutional. But, Mr. Pres:dent, .under wnat consti tution or statutes of the State of Lou isiana, or any ether State, prior to 1867, do the majcrity -wish, to stand? Clear ly 'n!ot under the consiatution of 1864 and the Jaws 'passed thereunder, tor the reason that Congress by act of March 2, 1867, declared Chat "no legal State government cr adequate protec tion tor liTe cr property existed in the Sou'them States," and thereby set aside sa?(l cons'titu!tion! and nieceesaaily all laws in so far as suffrage was con cernedl It follows, therefore, that no valid! ordinliTJce can be predicated upon something illegal. ' If,- there- fore, there were 110 cccsuitutloEia or Eiaibuijes existing prior to i8t upon wthich you can stand to base this suf frage clause, why, then it becomes per fwritlv useless and should be entirely pldminiaitedv It is useless' for us to butt our heads asainst the fourteenth and fit?tenth amecJmerits; they are soone walls and can net be assailed by any human in genuS'ty. We might as well recognize the fact that from the beginning of the war until the acts of Congress wiSch granted Louisiana the right of suffrage, in 1867, and! their tiifiicationi by the adoption of the constitution of 18f they possessed it not, neither under the conEtitU'tion f any of the Sowthern States, wot under and? statutes tttere under. Another objection that I make to this fieotron is that it Is ambiguous in this, that the wcrda "son. and grand eon" mar mean ag:tlmate as some con'tand, and may mean- illegitimate As for me, I consider that H mar mean both, Cor the reason -chat thope words must b undtersoood in their broadest Lsign'jflcaittcc.

Northern paper, takes the iame view Indeed, the Post is the strongest de fender that the South ' has among Northern papers," let that paper de noi'iaees the- "amendment a3 uaconstitu tional and wicked in rioi-ala. I read the following extract from a recent ed itorial : " : It is to be hoped that Senator Butler speaks by inspiration whoa he predicts the defeat cf the Nortl Carolina sui- frage amendment. If it sought simply to make the act of voting an intcIMgent and enlijhhen ed function and to reduce tc a mini mum the opportunity of bribery and corruption, we should hail Jt as a step toward purity and wholesomeness In politics. But, as we see the natter, the tseheme i3 simply to disfranchise the negro because he is black, and to protect at least a majority of ' the whittles who would otherwise be dis franchised under an impartial applica tion of the same rule. North Carolina, In a word, has bor rowed from .Louisiana the Iniquitous expedient whereby illiterate white vo ters may retain the franchise enjoyed by their fathers or grandfathers in 1867, no matter what may be their per sonal disqualifications under the re strictions imposed upon the negroes without exception. We believe the plan to be unconstitutional, as we know It has been so denounced by both the Louisiana Senators in the caae of their own State, and we have not the slight est doubt that it is wicked in morals as it is stupid and blundering in expe diency. The defeat of this measure win ue a national benefaction. AN ABSURD CLAIM A SLANDLK UPON THE SUPREME COURT. Before passitg from this part of the discussion, I desire to refer to one other argument that I have heard ad vanced In support of this proposed amendment. A certain judge in my State, who has a reputation not only fcr considerable legal leartning but also Cor high char acter and conscientiousness of motive. was appealed to to write a legal opin- on in support of section 5. The judge wrote an article in respon3?, but hard ly a legal opinion. The sum and sub- ! stance of his article, arter attempting to prove that the white man was su perior to the negro (which every advo-, cate of this provision seems to leer called upon to do,) was to express the hope that the Supreme Court of the; United States would take note of th fact that public opinion bad cnangeu in regard to "the fifteenth amendment and would hence uphold section 5j though in violation of it. Since thas time I (have noticed that one of the: leading Democratic candidates for gov-; ernor in my state has written an arts-, cle taking the same position. I do not deem it necessary to reply to such a claim, for its evident absurdity upon at mere statement of the same is a snffi-! cient reply. If I could believe that, these men are serious in claiming that" the Supreme Court of the United States would themselves violate their oathsj and nullify by their decision the Unl-; ted -States Constitution, then I would be constrained to say that no one has. ever tittered a mere serious slander; asainst said court. I take it that no- court will ever assume such a position,' no matter how high or strong public opinion may be. The court cannot re cognize public opinion as far aj the fundamental. law of the land is con cerned until said public opinion la crystallzed into a constitutional repeal or amendment through the prescribed constitutional methods.- To the court the fifteenth" amendment represents public opinion on the suffrage question until public sentiment has forced the repeal or the amendment of that pro vision. It the fifteenth amendment Is wrong, then, its only remedy i3 its re peal. While it stands the. court must and will uphold it. ' . (CrrTNTJED IN NEXT ISSUE.)
