Governor Ayeoek devotes a great portion of his message to the Gener al Aumbly to a discussion of the educational needs, the "nigger" question and the necessity for fair elections in the future. He discus see at length the "evils of ne gro suffrage," showing the con ditions that existed in the South when the ballot was first placed in the hands of the negro, and charges him with logratitnde "for not divid lng politically n view of the fact that so much has been done for that race by the white people. But Gov Aveock, now that the netrro has the right guaranteed by the constitution to vote, would not be so hostile to his exercise of that right, if he in a great measure, voted the Democrat ic ticket. Therefore, it is not so much against the negro's right to yote, that the Governor's hostility Is manifested, but because tb: regro has not voted the Democratic ticket or "divided" in politics When a negro votes that ticket h immediately, in the eyes of the Dc-m ocratio machine, becomes a "very respectable'' and "influential" mem ber of his race. If negro suffrage is an evil, as the Governor contends, tbea it is no lt-ss an evil because a negro votes the Democratic ticket. There can be no middle ground on that proposition, an evil is an evil wherever found. That the Governor is hostile to the negro solely because onlv a fe of them vote the Democratic ticket, Is shown in the following extract from his message: "We still hoped that they would ed the assurance from the educated tawn negro dud and the negro school t aeber toat all cegres will vote the Democratic ticks 1 Governor Aycoek, in roeommend ins; the measure for the increase of the public school facilities is only folio 1 a tbe advice and lead of I.OOI1HE I'auCamiav ior many years .eo The farmers' legislature of 1831 took . . . 85 . the initial in educational matter', dv increasing the appropriation for oeh purpose, and it was their action toen, which has given sueh an impet us to the educational movement The Bute sorely needs adequate fuods to maintain school term for 4 months, and this legislature will be dereteet of it duty it it fails to make proper nroviiion for the education of tbe poor children of the State.

This will sound strange to thous ands of his fellow citizens In Noith Carolina when they reflect that the August election was eariied by tbe most iricrantio and wholesale fraud that ever disgraced any Bute, No doubt Governor Aycoek clear ly sees the "hand-writing on the wall."

The discussion of a new election Uw. that should be fair and honest, was indulged in by members of tb j int committee of the Senate and Boose on elections Saturday night. From the report of tbe speeches made on that occasion the manifestly imqiitous and unfair election law now on the statute books, was very generally admitted. Mr. Craig expressed the desire that the committees should begin the work of framing an honest elec tion at once. He advocated the en actment of a law that will guaran tee the counting of every vote a I on the pension roll. All ea,t. I to committee on pensions Mr. Craig said he favored the pres ent infamous law when it was pars- d, because he thought then that "conditions existed then which made SATURDAY. Senate The only petition presen ted was by Henderson from the ministers of the Moravian church of Salem, in favor of the establish ment of a 8 tat e Reformatory. A bill was Introduced by Mr. Crisp to place the nanus of several persons referred its passage necessary. He further said that as such "ool- eorruption and fraud, that "smell to I ditisnsT' no longer exist, he -wanted heaven," will soon bring his party lt .:d ... tnia legislature has enacted the fairest election law ii the United States." People throughout the State will very generally applaud tbe enact ment of the "fairest election law iD the United States," and it is to b hoped that Mr. Craig's wishes in tbic respect will be fully realized. Senator Brousrhton said that the 'Governor voiced the sentiment ol the people of the State1' in his mess age urging the passage of a fair election law. It is no doubt true that people be- Ueve in honest methods in politic and this fact is fully realized now by the ballot stuffing machine who know his to absolute annihilation. Why did he not advocate honest elections during the last campaign! Why did he wait nutil he became a beneficiary of the fraud before ad vocating honesty? Tnis thought will impress all hon est citizens of the State. The machine not only stole thou sands of votes from the Populists and R 'publicans, but they likewise stole votes from General Carr, who was a candidate for the Senate against the ballot-stuff! jg machine.

The Farmer and Mm( Taper. ample of the whites" as Governor Aycoek suggests, i hen according, to his lagie, tnere would be no ground for hostility to the negro ei-rcisug the right to vote. Tbe Governor and bis friends hare all along argued that a negro's rote should not be nsd "to kill a white man's rote." To be consistent and honest be should advocate thb abso lute disfranchisement of all negroes. For if the negro jiins the Democrat ic party then he "ki Is the rote" of some Populist or white Republican. Again, if it be wrong for the ne gro rote to be nsed to "kill a white man's vote," then it is a damnable eril when the Democrats in Halifax. Edgecombe, Oraren, B-rtie and oth er "nigger" oounties count the negro vote against white Republicans and Populists in the western counties. This negro vote was counted for Gorernor Aycoek last August, and it swelled his majority many thou sands, thereby offsetting thousands of white votes cast for his opponent. Therefore, it seems that the bur den of machine Democratic opposi tion to the negro is due to the fact that he has no, as yet, solidly al igned himself with tbe Democratic party. When he does all opposition will melt away as quickly as the mist before the morning sun. The Governor discusses also the oonstUntioaal amendment which was adopted by "force and fraud. He argues that when the negro possess es the "capacity" he should be al lowed to vote, insisting that the State should be governed by "rirt ne and intelligence." It is indeed amazing that one born on North Carolina s)il, and fa miliar with the inclinations, temper ament and characteristics of the ne gro should believe that "virtue" can be given to a race of people by con stitutional or statutory enactment Experience in the State has taught those who have carefully watched the development of the 'ace that the educated negro dude is the most vi cious in principle when it cornea to act in matters political. The old ex slave as a rule, is inof fensive, kind and docile, but he is the one who is to be disfranchised If "virtue" is not implanted in man by Providence, instances wou'd be rare indeed where it conld be legis lated in him. If the negro today is a vicious ele ment in politics on acoount of his ignorance he will be doubly so when he receives a smattering of an edu cation. In justifying the adoption of the amendment by methods that would be a disgrace to the civil-zition of the early centuries, Goyernor Ay cock says: It distinctly looks to the future it sees the day of universal suffrage." "Universal suff cage' 'indeed! This plainly gives the lie to all the cam paign declarations. Tbe redstiim ware opposed to the negro, apparent ly, because his vote, in some sections was east against the Democratic ma -I f A. euine, ana was uaea to "Kill some white man's vote," but now the Gov ernor comes forward with a declara tion that the present curtailment will eventually result in "universal uffrage." What will be done ten years hence when a large proportion of the ne gross will again be voters f Will not the "ghost" of "nigger domination" again arise to destroy tions. The fact that so much space in the mt-Bfage is devoted to the discus sion of fair elections is positive and onrincing proof that the electione tie d under Democratic administra tions were unfair and mjust and fraudulent. Does tn G jrernor feel happy at the tnonght that he is a beneficiary of the rery dishonest and corrup political methods that were practice in the August election, whereby be obtained the high office of Gjrerc- oif The Governor also declares that the "mob has no place in our cirili ztion." This utterance would hav been exceedingly timely if it had been made prior to the August edi tion. Mob law, anarchy and red shirtism prevailed in many sections of the State, and Governor Aycoek either endorsed them or acquiesced in their practice. VALUABLE FARMERS' TINS. BULLE- On the front page of tbis issue o' The Caucasian we publish a list oi over a hundred Farmers' Bulletins, from No. 16 to No. 120, covering al most every subject pertaining to ag ricultnral interests. Many of these bulletins are very valuable and eve ry farmer in the State would find the information in them of great use to him. We suggest that every farmer look over this list and write to one of the Senators of the State or to the mem ber of Congress from his district and atK that sneh or these bulletins as he thinks would be of most Interest and yalue to him be sent to him. inese ouuetins nave ail been pre parea r-y nie ana experienced men in their special lines, and contain practical experience gleaned from WHY THERE ARE SO MANY OF THE SMITH FAMILY. The Philadelphia Medical Journal contains the following : "FIVE BOYS AT ONE BIRTH. "A remarkable birth is reported from Mary's Home, near Jefferson City, Mo., where Mrs. Henry Smitn gave birth to five baby boys at one time. They are reported to be well and weigh a total of 30 pounds. Smith has been married less thau seven years and is the father of six teen children. on'y one t'lme na? there been born a single baby. The others are two pair of twins, two pair of triplets, and the quintette." Does this not explain why there are so many Smiths? This seems to explain the conspiracy on the part ol the Smiths to populate and rule the world. There are now six Smiths in Congress, and if this thing keei s up there will soon be more than a majority. But speaking of kidnapping chil dren for a reward, wonder if any kidnapper will ever get bo hard up as to kidnap one of -Mrs. Henry Smith's sixteen children, all under six years of age, and expect him to offer a $25,000 reward.

NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL REPORTED Carrie f 77,016, 635, ihe Largest Ever Reported to the House. Washington, Jan. 19. The Naval Appropriation Bill was reported to the House today with an elaborate! statement of its provisions, by Chair man Fosa, of the Naval Committee The bill carries $77,016,635, the larg est ever reported to the House from the Committee on Naval Affairs.

Y. this morning, told a startling tale of a plot of Greek anarchists to kill prominent Americans and wou d nave told mre had the court not stopped mm ana turned him over to the police, that they might qui etly Investigate the case. Several arrests have already been made, and a number more are planned On the stand Masuras said tha In Greece he had been a member o an anarchist society. Some time ago it fell to his lot to kill a public man In United States, and he was ordered to come to this country and place himself under the orders of the American branch of the socie ty, fle never heard the name ot the man he was to murder and un derstood that, as in other cases, to man who was to be the victem waa to be selected after his arrival In this country. After reaching Amer ica Masuras, according to his own story, went to Yonkers and affilia ted himself with a branch of the organization there as well as one in New York. Finally he became frightened, withdrew and refused to carry out the mission entrusted to him. From the time he left the organization he was annoyed and threatened by members of the society. He remained firm in his determ ination not to obey the orders, how ever, and yesterday six of the men came here and begged him to re turn. When he still refused, one of the six, which one he could not say, attempted to stab him. The blow was aimed too high, however, Mas uras was apparently willing to tell more about the society, bat Judge Kellogg adjourned the hearing and committed the prisoner to jaii pending further examination. Mae-ura-4 was examined by the police, and as art suit the warrants were Usued Jo-eph and James Kiptau klas and Frank Hestaigus were ar rested by the police One other Yonkers man and two New Yorkers are named on other warrants aod the police are searching for -them.
