The Raleigh Post, a few days ago, referring to the adjourned session of the Legislature, which met Tues day, says: "It may be developed by next week that a further adjournment until, say, July 18 or 23, may be necessary. W e throw this out so It may be under consideration." The Post, seeing the many mis takes, blundering and unconstitu tional acts of the last session of the legislature, thinks It will be neces sary for them to meet again soon to correct the mistakes It will be sure to make this. The Post Is no doubt right, but what a reflection it Is on the mem bers of that body. No other legislature since the foundation of the State has ever made so many serious blunders or passed so many unconstitutional laws, and besides no other legisla ture has ever been guilty of break ing so many solemn pledges. The people will pass judgment on them in August. WAT)I)ELl AM) HIS OUN. A gentleman sends us the fol lowing: "The Liberty Register, a Democratic paper, published at Liberty, Randolph county, In Its Issue of June the 8th, 1900, in an editorial giving an account of Col. A. M. Waddell's speech at that place Wednesday, June 6th, quotes him as follows : 'If you go to the polls and vote against the amendment you are an enemy to me and my wife and you and your wife, and ought to be made to transact your business with negroes, and I AM WILLI NO TO 8HOULDER MY GUN TO MAKE YOU DO IT." The above Is an exact copy of the article. The paper in which It appears Is on file and can be pro duced at any time. W. 8. H. There are thousands of as brave men as the sun ever tanned, who will vote against the amendment, and Mr. Waddell and a thousand such men and guns cannot bull doze them to surrender their free dom. "Get your gun, Johnny."-ED. WHAT KIND OF ARGUMENTS? The following special appeared In the Charlotte Observer of June 7th: Mooresville, June 6. Mr. Jas. II. Pou spoke at Academy Hall last night on the subject of the amend ment to the constitution. His ar guments were unanswerable " ma iir. t'ou answer nis own ar guments In 1898 when he made an affidavit declaring that the Demo cratic party would not attempt to disfranchise anybody If It got In power. Did he explain why he and his party broke this solemn p'edge? B 1 ADVICE. A New York negro by the name of Thos. Fortune Is talking through his hat. He says "it costs tons of blood to put the fifteenth amend ment In the constitution and it will take ten tons to take it out." He rather advises the negroes'to "fight for liberty" or leave the South. They might leave and it would be all right, but if they fight, they will also leave and it will be all wrong with them. The great bulk of negroes are civil and peaceable, and had rather suffer wrong than to fight a superior race which has every advantage over them. The ?e?!

On June 2nd II. F. Sea well, Pop ullst candidate for Attorney Gen eral, spoke in 8helby. N. C. Al though Mr. Sewall Is a graduate of Wake Forest College and Is a mem ber of the Baptist church, yet when he went to take thetraln, he was rotten egged by several men, one of whom he thinks was the depot agent. Anyway, when he turned on them, they took shelter In the depot. There were several old men who saw it and who did not come to his rescue, among them he rec ognized a pracherjg who rather, (from the smile on his face.) en joyed It. The Democrats are now trying to excuse the crime by saying it was done byj"a crowd of Irresponsible boys." Now the thing, and the only thing that will remove the r pons blllty from the ring, is f r them to give Mr. Seawell the names of these boys and let him make an example of them. The people are beginning to doubt all such stuff. Every time any mean nesslike that is done, some drunken fool or some boys did It. It is strange all the drunken fools and bad boys are in the Democratic par ty. For no one Is tr ated In such way, except Populists. Populist and Republican boys do not rotten egg Democrats. They are under better influerces. We are glad to say, however, that the sentiment of all tl.e people are against It. The onariotte Observer, which Is not Simmons' organ, is the only paper mac nas condemned it. It says edl torlally : We are glad to see that the Dem ocrrtic Executive Committee of Cleveland county has adopted res olutlons condemning the egging of air. i. r . oeaweii, tne Fonulistcan dldate for Attorney General, after his speech at Shelby on the 2d In stant.

When tne amendment becomes a law. men vuey can simply say "thepeo pie voted for it, and its our busi ness to enforce it, and if it disfran chises any white man we are sor ry," and tftat will be all they will say. But, in their sleeves, they will smile and say: "we baited with DiacK pearcn and caught a whole draught of suckers," Do you want mat "wniie" man y rascals and roots In speaking of the debate in Con gress on trusts between Republl cans and Democrats, the Charlotte Observer remarks : "mis suggests that President lirant on one occasion observed EVERY TIME THE REPUBLICAN PAR x i Aiis rum iAMJNKD RASCAL THE DRMOCRATIO PARTY ACTS THE DAMNED TOOL." mis is rather hard on Demo crats, as rascals can be reformed K., 1 . muu iuuib uever-noi got sense enough.

The Confederate Soldier Will Men Who Betrayed Voters In reply to a letter from P. H. Scale of Wentwortb, N. O, Gen. Julian S. Carr has written a lone article, at tempting to prove that in tbe event of the adoption of the amendment it will not jeopardize a tingle white man's right to vote. Gen. Carr has written this letter in the nature of an appeal to tbe Confederate veterans of the State to rally to the Democratic party and support tbe amendment In tbe coming election. He asserts most pos itively that no man will be disfran chised ; yet, as a matter of fact, Gen- Carr's assertion should have no weight whatsoever, because tbis is a matter with which the Supreme Court will have to deal, and when such an emi nent lawyer of a national reputation as ex-Senator Edmunds, who is regar ded as one of the ablest Constitutional lawyers in the United States, (even ad mitted by tbe Democrats of North Car olina to rank above Senator Morgan as a Constitutional lawyer,) also Sena tor Stewart, Senator Pettigrew, Sena tor Allen, Senator Henry M Teller all recognized as distinguished law yers, whose opinions are unbiased, de clare the amendment unconstitutional, they should certainly have greater weight with the great masses of the Democratic party in North Carolina than tbe opinions of tbe Democratic lawyer many of whom are seeking or expecting political preferment in tbe future. No illiterate white man can afford to risk and jeopardize bis polit ical liberties in tbe face of tbe deliber ate opinions of these great lawyers that tbe Court will strike out section 5 and leave tbe remainder of tbe amend ment to stand, thus requiring an edu cational qualification for all voters, white and black alike. It should be constantly borne in mind, while the Democratic candidates and speakers are pledging the people that tbis amendment will not disfranchise a sin gle white man, that many of these same men solemnly pledged the people of JNonn Carolina, in the campaign or 1898, that if tbe Democrats controlled tbe Legislature, no disfranchising cheme whatever would be adopted and submitted. However earnestly Gen Carr or any other Democrat may pledge the people of North Carolina on 'his point, yet, as a matter of fact, the Court will soberly and deliberately and calmly pass upon this question, and will not be governed by what these Democratic politicians may say when they eo to pass upon its constitutionally. That eminent con stitutional lawyer, William D. Guth rie, of New York, who successfully apt peared before the U. S Supreme Cour in the income tax cases, characterized 'bia "grandfather clause" of the pro posed constitutional amendment as "a travesty on constitutional justice," and he went so far as to urge that a test case shonld be made in the Federal courts to ascertain its constitutionali ty, so that -the South's representation in Congress and the electoral college should be cut down in proportion to tbe suppressed vote. Tne Legislature of Georgia on the dutn oi .November, 1899, by a vote of 187 to 3, defeaced this same amend ment, and many members declared it to be unconstitutional, undemocratic ana violative or the principles of jus tice. Confronted with all these facts, how : i v . ever opeuiuusij bue democrats may argue mere certainly is crave and se rious doubt as to its. constitutionality yei tney appeal to men to perjure themselves when they eo to vote b supporting a scheme that is in conflict with tbe Constitution of the United States in the opinion of many of the most eminent lawyers or this nation In speaking of the negro. General Carr says : "He has to day in the col orea graded schools of the towns chiefly supported by the whites, far greater advantages than the white children of the country may hope for in long years to come, These sentences should be indelli- bly impressed uion the mind of every honest, sturdy white man who lives in tnis country, When he comes to vote on this proposition in August. Here is a frank admission from General Carr that tbe negroes of the towns and cities have decided advantage over tbe wnice cniiaren in tne country in edu cational opportunities, and be goes so iar as to ay tnat tne negrroe a onnor tunities and advantages over the white cniiaren are even better than tb .1 L.!l. L ? 1 J . wuhb ouuuren oi tne country may hope for inlonr years to come" For these very reasons it should arouse ev ery white voter in tbe rural districts to stern opposition to a scheme which will certainly have the effect of edu oating the town negro, while the poor wuub duj in ine country, owing to a laott of proper educational facilities cannot get hucn an education as the negro boy in tbe town, who, even with this amendment in operation, would o8 auowea to vote ana be eligible to hold office. uenerai uarr, in bis article quoted liberally from the speech of Senator McEnery, ye6, as a matter of fact, when iue Louisiana constitutional conven tion was in session in the spring of ioc, senator mcinery gave his delib erace opinion then to tbe convention . I - 11 1 burnt luc -gruuuiainer clause was "grossly unconstitutional." and Sena tor caffery also expressed the same view. Tbe New Orleans Times-Democrat then denounced tbe proposition as un American, undemocratic, unconstitu tional and offensively partisan, and stated that such Democratic Constitu tional lawyers In the United States Senate as Senators, Turpie, of Indiana, luney, or Tennessee: Vest, of Miss ouri ; Walthall, of Mississippi and Mc- jaunn, oi soutn Carolina, had said tbat the measure was unconstitutional. General Carr asks this Question : "Why so much ooncern lor th consti tutionality of the amendment on tbe part of those who oppose it?" The white people are dtenlv cGDRrDii about this constitutional amendment, for they realize tbat the political rights are involved in the Question. Thov know that the same men who hrnno'iit forward tbis scheme of limiting the suffrage in the State cannot be trusted now since they have broken and viola ted their solemn pledges in 1898 not to disfranchise anybody should they con trol the legislature. The Democratic politicians who brought forward thi scheme, in violation of their pledges, may maintain that it is constitutional, yet the people will no lonrer have n confidence in their declarations. Their legal epinions now shonld hi hA. lucely no weight because they are bi ased in tbe highest degree. We quote further from ttnnri r.r . "My friends recognize that I am no lawyer, qualified to discuss conetitn We learn from a private letter rom Catawba, In which it was sta ted, that a Democratic leader went to a Republican and told him that they ought to help them carry the amendment so as to get the pur chasable vote white and black out of the way." So. white man. watni, out. This man sllDDed out tha T CARR ANSWERED. Hot Risk His Political libsrty. in 1898, Will Do So Again. tional questions " If tbat b- true, and it is true, then why should Gen. Carr desire to see a poor white m n take any risk whatever when bis politic! rights are involved, when there is much grave doubt expreed by so many able lawyers in regard to this proposition? If be is a true friend of tbe ex-Confederate oldie. atnu whom he writes with such esrnetnea. he should not dare to ask those brave and gallant men to put in j-opardy their political rights, because msny of them, prior to the great civil wtr, not have an opportunity to obtain an edu cation. Again, General Carr says : "But there is one featnre of tbe opposition tha deserves severe condemnation. It I (be attempt to mislead the people by the assertion that there U dang r that whi.e men who are illiterate are to be thrown out " Such distinguished men as Ex -Senator Edmunds, Senators Allen, Petti grew, Teller and S'ewart say tbat there is no doubt or question about the un constitu'ionality of section 5, and thu it will fail and leave the remaind"r.to stand. And there is no attempt on the part of these eminent Senators to mis lead or deceive any one, but tey gave this as their deliberate opinion a members of tbe legal profession, and if any one deserves "severe condemna tion" it is those men who by treach ery, deceit and duplicity are ndeavor lng to destroy the political rights if illiterate white men. Gen. Carr maintains that the white man enjoys the right to vote by inher itance. yt be plainly ignores ths fact that the fifteenth amendment provides tbat no State shall deny or abridge the right to vote on account of race, color or previous condition of servi tude." clearly showing tbat there can be no discrimination in restricting uffrage. If the Democrats meant to solve the race questiou for all time they should have done so bv constitu tional methods, by prohibitirg the ne groes rrom holding office within the gift of the people of thi S'ate Ureneral Carr says that the Demo cratic party, speaking through the proposed constitutional amendment. has xpressly declared that the unedu cated white man shall not be denied 'he ri?hr to Vote" Notwithstanding the solemn declaration on the prt m uemocraric pary as to the white man s right t vote in the future, ve it. is a fact that the Supreme Co u will have to pass upon this question a to whose right to vote is denied : and ic snouia he borne in mind that the last legislature, composed of fifty or more Democratic lawyirs, passed more uuuuumiiuiionai laws man a'iy previ- uus legislature, certainly within thi last twenty-five years There is oue singular statein-nt in ien i;arr's article that deserves special mention : He says: "U ab'e to meet the issue in lair dba'e,tt.e opponents of this safeguard against tyranny from a poetical bess or tK anarchy of an ignoran' mob maddened at the prospect of a iudirment unon their betrayal of the p eople for a mess oi pousge, nave aared to leave argu ment to resort to threats." These woras snouia he written in letters of living light and brought to the atten tion or e.ery Democratic speaker, be cause it so aptly fke the Simmons ma ctune in us efforts to over ride the will of the people of North Carolina iu cue coming content. T. :n L. i . .. it win uh rememDered tbat Sena tor Butler issued a challenge to Simmons "to meet the issue in fair debate, bo that the people could hear all sides of the qursti-n dis cussed, and that Simmons absolutely refused to agree to a joint discuss ion.

The Columbia State, for instance, says that "South Carolina people are much interested in the campaign for white supremacy In North Carolina aud are hoping for success;" and further: We trust our friends across the border will not be disappointed in the result. "Hiey ae making a good fight a fight worthy of North Carolina Democrats." For the interest and prayers of our outside friends we owe them thanks." The old Hansom and Simmons machine has always looked down on thn masses of the people as a "lower class,'' and l.esidt s they have always feared the votes or the com mon people, because they were with Vance and against Itansom and S. mmons We have felt satisflt d alt along that it was their inten tion, if they could fool the people into adopting this disfranchising amendment, then to put next a property qualillcation upon the vo ters. Tne wealthy, machineand aristo cratic . lement In every state want to limit sulTrage. They not only want to disfranchise the illiterate voter, but they specially want to get rid ot the voter who has not a certain amount of property. Their position is that to protect their own wealth they must take the ballot from those voters who are not rich or have at least considera ble property. While we have known that this was to be the next part of their disfranchising scheme, yet we are surprh-ed that the Char lotte Observer should admit it now. It was clearly a slip of tie pen. Of course, the Charlotte Ob server, when its attention is called to the matter, will deny it. But who will believe its denial? Did it not deny in the last campaign that they would attempt to disfranchise anybody? The voters will not be fooled again. THE ROTTEN EGG PARTY.

I don't know it to be so, but I believe it was a pre mtditated scheme for Senator But ler. We are gaining ground and the Democrats, by today's work at the depot made us many vots.

Mm; Good Democrat Opposed to the 'Grand-eon of Hit Orand-fber Con stitutional Amendment Claaee, The correspondent of the Char lotte Obaerver, writing to that paper from Fayetteville, under dat f March 4th, says: The Obaerver correctly guagea pub lic sentiment in throwing out a word of warning aeainst taking for grant ed the carrying at the ballot box of the suffrage constitutional amend ment. It will require bard work from the rank and file and leaders of the party. There ia crirly n 1mH on the title of tbe Cape Fear Dem ocracy to orthodoxy, but the writer is surprised at the number of lead ing Democrats whom he moets op posed to the amendm-nt. Tte clauat about the "grand son of bis grand father" is especially decried as a monstrous absurdity. The suffrage amendment referred to above, which was adopted by the last Legislature, is as follows: THK SUFFRAGE AMEXDMENT. Section 1. That Article VI of the Constitution of North Carolina be, and the same is hereby abrogated, and in lieu thereof shall be substitut ed the following Article of Said Con stitution: Article VI.
