T HAT 4TH SECTION OF TEE PROPOSED
AMENDMENT. '
We notice that t&e last si n'.ence in
bcction 4 ef the proposed amendment
to toe constitution 88 presented last
Friday night in Democratic caucus
reads, "Poll taxes shall be a lien
only on assessed property and no
process shall isane to enforce the
collection oi the lame except against
ajeased property . "
We hope we are not in error in
car yery strong conviction that the
very oppooite is the right direction .
he power to garnishee the employer
in good but does not extend tar
enough.
The courts have decided, we be
lieve, that xe3 are not a debt in
tae ordinary sense of .the trm bnt a
oral obligation. The jnonpay
Lueut of the poll tax could be made
to rank among misdemeanors and the
Penalty could be made the working
oat of the tax and the cost of process
oa the public roads . ; (
I; goes without saying that no one
bhoald be allowed t vote who res
f noes or neglects to pay his poll tax,
but to relinauish the right to vote
should not be a relief from paying
the tax. Characters who refuse or
neglect to py a poll tax are about
the hat. to give yon half the road
ana the first to take the benefit of
this Jaw' for tnval infringements on
their rights. You must stop your
'badness, too, and attend court in
their defense,where the law presumes
that justice demands it, whether you
gt?t a cent for it or not. ,
Hm hope bur ammdment to the
constitution will rot encourage oae
of the most ignobie traits of uni
wor.hy citizsoship by tying the
handi of the law against a class that
ahor.ld be ranked among criminals.
The Fenitentlary-Where Is That Report?
During the campaign, upon every
atnuip, the Republican proclaimed
that the. penkeutiary had made
mnnay and wag in a better condition
than ever. Mr, Caldwell, the fu
. aion candidate for Congress in the

fnqnfnt ailneio s; which he said,
wao tne efficiai report of the penn
ientiry for ths year 1897. - v
In view of tbe diectosure of a de
Hot of more than one hundred
' thousand dollars, ascertamad by the
couaniiuee of experts appointed by
Cpc. Day, and the further rotten
vneds which the pending investigas
tiou will disclose, it is important
ft hat the 1897 report should be in
the hands of the legislature: and prew
served.
We, thereforr, suggest that areso
lution be adopted ctlline upon the
Governor for the onicial reports of
the penitentiary ior J97 and 1898t

both then be studied, after the new
management has taken char&e in
February, in the light of facts that
thus come to the light. For

' invaluable, particularly if the ins

suits for official malfeasance or dis
honesty . News and Observer.

other the copy spitefully slammed
down to the Standard man at the

anything from the soscalied report
and we hastenea to place it where it

Very Bad Indeed. .
T ie Ealeigh correspondent to
the Charlotte Observer dated the
28th1 says: . , !- "
"Before the joint committee on
penal institutions this evening,
Senator BrowrJ, chairman of the
sub-committee investigating the
penitentiary, stated that he did
not deem it advisable just now to
make a full disclosure of the re
sult bf examinations, but had no
hesitancy in saying that the mis
management of the penitentiary
was beyond a parallel in the his
tory of the State. He said the
penitentiary owed $110,000 that
he knew of. How m uch more he
was unable to say, and he advised
that this debt be liquidated at
once. He thought a bond issue
of $200,000 would be necessary to
put the institution in! good shape,
and believed that within two years
with proper management the pen
itentiary would be a source of
revenue. Mewboorne, he said,
was worse than Smith, ttnd the
employees generally Were a dis
grabe to North Carolina. Only a
few day 8 since his committee
could jnot get books from the pen
itentiary because a book-keeper
was beestly drunk, and. even now
there Was in the institution a wo
man Convict ruined by the em
ployees, and the convicts also at
Castle! Hayne were allowed to get
drunki and there and at other
places were filthy beyond de
scription. He urged the necessity
of immediate action and the com
mittee instructed all newspaper
reporters to have their papers in
sert advertisements that all claims
against the penitentiary- be sent
to J A Brown, chairman, inside of
ten days." ;i : ,
AVe heard on the campaign tha
the penitentiary was one of the
best managed institutions j in the
Southland that the fusion regime
was the soberest one that we had
had for some time. But Mr. But
ler, we learn, passed it along the
line to claim everything and make
no , confessions of wrong. Some
of his pur-blind followers yet, in
stead of the manly acknowledg
ment of their misguided zeal that
would command respect and sym
pathy, forfeit both Dy moroeeness
and a catching at
real or imaginary
every straw of
imperfection on
the part of the present r dominant
party.

there have been as many as 200

discovered the true character of
it.
We nave noted references to
the presence of the disease in
