AHEaosuEirr DiscrssssD won. as AbU rai Iatrtlw; Article By a Bckaol Tlr Wkjr Edmtilwt AU U UrMUd la E4acstlM t ta Hmm SnoaHl Sapport It. One of the best things in the pro poned amendment to oar Constitution is me eaucauonai qualiDcation. it is o arranged as to prevent temporary in justice to anybody, and to accouiptish lasting good for ail. By promotine aad Btimulating edacation, it will prove- a blessing to the rising generation. Mean while it takes away the ballot from no body that is worthy to rote. The educational qualification is con tained in sections 4 and & of the pro posed amendment. "Section 4. Every person presenting himself for registration shall be able to read and write any section of the Con stitution in Che English language." This Bection makes reading and writ ing a permanent qualification for vot ing in North. Carolina. If it stood alone without modification or exceptions, it would disfranchise all yoters who can not read and write. But very many voters in 'our Bute, although illiterate, are qualified by character, experience, political education and general intelli gence for the use of the ballot. They grew up without opportunities for edu cation. It is not their fault that they cannot read and write. They have al ready demonstrated their fitness' for suffrage by intelligently and courage ously exercising the right of the suffrage. They are justly entitled to vote, and their children who have grown up un der similar conditions are also entitled to vote. Therefore all persons belong ing to this class are exempt from the operation of the educational qualifica tion prescribed in section 4. These ex empted persons are carefully enumer ated and generously provided for in section 5, as follows : . "Section 5. No male person who was on January. 1st, 1867, or at any- time prior thereto, entitled to vote under the law of any State in the United States wherein he then resided, and no lineal descendant of any such person, shall be denied th'right to register; and vote at any electiotfjn this State by reason of his" failure possess the I educational qualificatirj" Prescribed in section 4 of this artic! 7 .Provided, He shall have registered in accordance with the terms of this section prior to December 1, 1908." There are tf parts to the educational qaalifiWlou First, the qualification itself; second, its exemptions.- Let ub look first t the exemptions and--see whether all classes are exempt taat should be ? ' 1. Uneducated, white (natives). " All uneducated white, natives of North Carolina, who are now twenty-one y ;rs old are exempt. . All uneducated whites, natives of ntKor Hfti in (tin Tlninn nnm tirftniv. Inn a vctra nlrl vhrt prml.i hn.vA voted under the law of those States prior; to January 1, 1867, are exempt. All uneducated white boys, natives of North Carolina or of other States and over twelve years of age, whose fathers were entitled to vote, are exempt. Thus all uneducated whites who are now voters and all uneducated whites who would become voters in the next nine years are exempt from the educa tional qualification. This exemption is both just and generous. It includes all those who have demonstrated their fit ness, for the ballot and have grown up under conditions unfavorable to their education. It includes also the' children of such men, whd mayhave grown up, or are now growing up, under similar conditions, and who for some reason may be unable hereafter to learn to read and write. The only class of un educated white natives who will be. dis franchised are boys now under twelve years old who shall not learn to read and write before December 1, 1908. 1 2. Uneducated whites (foreigners). Uneducated white foreigner and their children are exempted from this qualification, precisely as uneducated white natives, if they haye had the same experience of our political institutions as uneducated white natives. Other wise they are not ..allowed to vote, unless they can read and write. An un educated white foreigner who was a voter in any State prior to January 1, 1867, or whose father or. grandfather was a voter January 1, 186J, or prior thereto, and who thus has grown up as it were into citizenship, is entitled to vote, although unable to read and write. The same reason exists here as in the case of uneducated white natives. - 3. Illiterate negroes (slaves). Illiterate negroes once slaves with no educational qualification and with, a record that shows', unmistakably their utter unfitness for the b&Jlot, will be at once disfranchised. 4. Illiterate negroes (old free negroes), illiterate negroes formerly free, if they were voters Janury 1, 18b7, or prior thereto, and their descendants will be exempt from the qualification. " These people have had longer experi ence and shown more fitness for citi zenship than the other negroes. Itmay be doubtful whether they should be permitted to "vote, but the amendment gives them the benefit of the doubt. It thus appears that the exemptions from the qualification include all who are clearlv comnetent to vote and all whose cases are doubtful, while exclud ing all who are clearly incompetent. Let us now look at the educational Qualification, as it will operate after December 1, 1908. Two important facts must be remembered in considering this qualification. . 1. All who are voters December 1st, 1908, -will remain voters the rest of their lives. '.' , i - 2. All persons coming of age after December 1st 1908; that is, all persons now under twelve years of age, must learn to re,ad and write before they can VOte." ' . .. . ' ' Is this a just qualification ? We think it not only iust but in the highest de gree wise and calculated to promote the be8t interests of JNorth Carolina : . 1 The qualification is not excessive. It requires of a voter only the ability to read and write. There is no examina tion in arithmetic, geography, grammar and the like. Nothing is.demanded but the ability to read and write. Surely it would be better foe every man that he should be able to read and write, and better for North Carolina that not one ol her citizens should be unable to read and write. Boys who cannot now read and write, if older than twelve, are ex exempted from the requirements; if a ri der twelve they will have at least nine years to learn in. Our present school facilities are not very good, but they are sufficient to teach every boy in North Carolina how to read and write within the next r ine years. " The educational qualification' will stimulate boys to go to school, will stimulate teachers to do better teaching, will stimulate political parties to pro mote education, will stimulate the State to enlarge and multiply school facilities, will give education its proper place as the foundation for suffrage, and will set up in public life for the youth of our generation a nobler and a loftier ideal of life.''. , - - " 3. The promotion of education will be a promotion of material prosperity. It will develop ' skilled, labor. It will train the hand and the brain to work together, and through them will de velop the unlimited natural resources of Nortn Carolina. It will supply native talent, trained and educated in skilled labor, for the proper utilization of our timber, minerals, cotton, tobacco and other raw materia and the profitable employment of our water power, fisher ies, SQil climate and other natural re sources. Let us educate our boys, and we shall cease to be hewers of wood and drawers of water for other States. We shall cease to produce only raw material, whose profits are enjoyed by other States with better trained and better educated workmen.; We shall become a State of educated laborers, skilled workmen, enjoying the profits of our own resources, and working up the raw material of other peoples, whose lack of skill and lack of education will make them our servants! 4. Education will mean more happi ness and more, knowledge, in each household, better order in each com-: munity, improved health, comfort and morality throughout the State. It will cause a "more general diffusion of knowledge and a more active intelli gence among all classes of our people and 'in all lines of industrial activity. Farm boys will read more and learn more. Mechanics will keep abreast of the wbrd's progress in their lines. The whole mass of the people will be lifted up and strengthened for the cea?elese struggle of life. ' Popular government will daily become stronger instead of weaker. - Popular demands for reforms wiN: be based upon intelligent com pre hension of evils to be reformed, and will be made with a power that will de fy resistance. . 5. Even . -negro recognizes the Jad visability or jjj educational qualifica tion. He - vs that it is best for even negro .! learn to read and write. race for education and will outnumber him at the polls; that an educational qualification will ultimately disfranr chise more, whites than negroes. This fear is not confirmed by statistics. The percentage of negro children enrolled in Bchool to school population is notfso large as the porcentage of white at tendance. It is an insult to white children and to the white race to say that the white ' boy will not learn to read and write as eagerly and as quick ly as the negro boy. If education 6hall fit the negro to Vote, it will be cause for rejoicing, but if education shall not fit j fit him to vote the white race will again protect itself against negro suffrage. The North Carolina white boy needs educa tion, not to compete with the negro boy, but to compete with the educated boy in Massachusetts, and Connecticut. These two great States are making more money from cotton (although they do not raise an ounce of cotton) than North Carolina. Massachusetts ,has the largest average of wealth per capita of all the States in the Union. Iti has ac cumulated ibis wealth by educated la-, bor. ' The educational j qualification . im posed upon theoys becoming of age after 1908 in the proposed amendment requires only a minimum of education, towit: reading and writing. It thus de prives no one of. ari opportunity to be come ft voter. But j while the require ment is small, its moral effect will be tremendous. It creates an educational ideal,) and starts a popular movement that must and wilt produce most whole some results. It will arouse popular in terest in education and will strengthen and develop our whole educational sys tem. It will not only guard and. pro tect the ballot, but will, accomplish more for the moral, social and material elevation of our people than any other agency that ; ean be devised. Every teacher, every preacher, every intelli gent man who desires the prosperity of the State, who knows that popular hap - pineBS and prosperity noless than the government, depend! upon intelligence, who believes that ! education is not a machine but a strong vital force, must support this amendment. Every man who believes the negro to be capable of any improvement, iwho recognizes' the fact that negro suffrage has been a fail ure and a detriment to both races, who desires the negro to have a fair chance to fit himself for the ballot, and who-j wishes peace and friendship between the races instead of enmity and wsjj must support the amendment v j School Teacher.

That battalion of one-armed, one-legged, one-eyed heroes of the lost cause will be the moat significant feature of the reunion an I will make more lasting impression upon the rising generation than anything else. "That is genuine,' they will tay. Those old fellows were certainly there and they have not re pented of it. In fact, they are proud of it. It will teach the youth of the other side that our boys were terribly in earnest and that neither time nor poverty has obliterated a single feeling or emotion that possessed them when they-faced the guns of the enemy nearly forty years ago. They are established in the faith and will die, not believing they were right, but knowing iL That word "believing" is a misnomer, a kind of compromise. It does not fit us. We knew we were right then and we know it yet A good many of their soldjer boys believed they were right and knew no better, for their politicians fooled them, bu more . than half of them dident believe anything about it and dident care, for they were hirelings and fought for 110 a month and nothing else. They were hungry. It seems to me if I was a northern man I would say to my people "We can't do . any thing with those confederate veterans. Just let them alone. They were con quered and that's all. We piled four to one on them and wore them out, and that's all, but such fighters the world never saw. They never had but 700,000 men in the field, all told, from the beginning to the end of the war, and they have put a million: of our folks cn the pension rolls, besides all that they killed. Good gracious, boys! Let's quit talking and quit bragging, ' and when them fellows down south want a reunion let's bid them godspeed and say, 'Go it, boys! We are betting on you. Get together by your campfires, as it were, and retell your old war stories; and let the tears from your old watery eyes glisten again, and after it is all oyer then go back home and tell it all to your wives and children, and theD yes, and then and then lay down and die.' " Well,' that's just what the Old vets are doing. They are dying pretty fast now and there will hardly be eaough left for another reunion. Oar hope and faith is that our boys will keep the campfires burning and gather arour - them and tell what their fathers did. Xet.ihose memories survive the flight of trfnlf just like the historie and heroic deeds we iU..d of. The oldej the better. We have in our family an Old paper that gives account of the battle of Lexington during the .first revolution and along the. margin across the top are picture. , "teen coffins, and on ach co flic is a u V one of these names is very de to u, ior : i the name of an ancestor who fell in that fight. That ancestor never fought for a juster cause or on greater provocation than we did, and our children should be proud of it. An so let the old battle scarred veter ans go to Louisville and have perhaps their last loyefeast. . Atlanta will, raise that mo ley. We love to look over the published names of the contributors and to rejoice that there are noble men and women left who may have forgiven but have not forgotten. We measure people by their charities, their willing responses when called oa for a cause like this, and I would be ashamed to see my Lame in the column with less than a dollar attached to it. If I could ent give more-ihan a dime or 25 cents, I would say mark it cash and go on. A man who can't afford to give a dollar should not be called on. Louisville is going to give a royal welcome to the veterans and I hope every one who can go will go. Louis ville is the most intensely southern city in the union more so than Nashville or- Chattanooga or Atlanta, or even Charleston and its people never do things in a half-hearted or penurious way. The last time I was there I saw the blue and the gray each stbout 300 strong sitting in the same hall listening to an address for the benefit of confed erate veterans. Yes, the same, kind of veterans we wish to uniform and send there- These federal eoldiers came out and paid their, money to show their sympathy for the Cause of the poor soldier. Th sympathy has existed in all civilizedViations and Sterne never wrote a more touching thing than when he wrote about Uncle Toby, who when told that a poor soldier was dying at his gate, seized his crutch and hurried to him, exclaiming in his emotion, "He shall not die, by God!' " That oath was set down upon . the book, but an angel dropped a tear upon it and blotted it out forever. So go ahead, Ciptain Dearing, and ask for the money, aud I am sure it will come. A la ita ffir fails in a cause like that. I am an optimist now. The spring has come at last and the birds are siDg- j ing and the roses are in bloom, and toe sweet little children are all so happy, it makes an old man happy, too. Our little on ea help me to pick the straw berries every xlay and it pleases them to take a sugared dish full to the sick folks near by, and to tell how pleased they were to get them, liow cnarmiog it is to witness the daily expansion of their minds and hearts and emotions, and listen to their loving prattle. The little five-year-old looked with astonishment at our turkey gobbler as he gobbled and said, l"Gran'ma, he "must be sick, I reckon, for I think he is vomiting." They entertain me every day and won't let me look on the dark side." The fact is, ihere is no Bhadow-over this blessed region, for we have peace and plenty. J No famines like they have in India. - No war like that which rages in the Trans vaal and the Philippines, no floods nor cloud burst, no mine explosions, no pestilence, no great calamity of any kind,' and all our citizens, both black and white, are peaceful and law-abiding.

A TnU BtUpN ta Baa May MKa Marv Proctor la w Tort Bsrakl. The astronomical event of 1900 wiO be a total eclipse of the tb, which oc curs on May 20th, and will be visible through the Southern Bute. The cen tral pathway of darkness, ; whereto the eclipse will be total, u fifty-hv miles wide and extends from New Orleans to Raleigh, and after teatriog Virginia trails over the Atlantic Ocean and south easterly across PortagaL Bpaio and Northern Africa. The duration of total eclipse varies from one minute and fifteen second 1 in Louisiana to one minute and and forty hve seconds in North Carolina. Along the lines on each side of the central line, as shown in the map, the sun will remain hidden for only an instant. (See, Prot. Tood' "New Astronomy," p. m.) Astronomers are making arrangements to observe this glorious spectacle, and it is to be hoped that their effort may be crowned with success. A total eclipse of the sun takes place when the moon, coming between the sun and the earth, hides the light of the moon and causes darkness for a few moments wherever the shadow trails. The moon being an opaque body easts a shadow, and since the moon is a sphere the shadow presents the appear ance of a long, narrow cone, stretching away into space. The tip of the shadow trails eastwardly along the earth, and as the earth is moving in the same direc tion the tip of the shadow mar be com pared to the point of a lead pencil marking a line on a whirling ball repre senting the earth. The densest part of the shadow, wherein the eclipse is total, is called the umbra, and rarely exceed 160 miles in width, whil? on each side of it is a less dense shadow, from which the sun's light is only partly hidden, and this is called the penumbra. The shadow glides through space at a rate exceeding 2,000 miles an hour, and as the earth is turning or rotating in the same direc tion at the rate of 1,000 miles an hour, ; the greatest velocity of the moon's shadow will be 1,000 miles an. hour. To aa observer the shadow seems to ad vance wjth lightning rapidity, and some times it seems to travel in wavy bands, the waves being a few inches broad and several feet apart, rushing along with the velocity of an express train. Professor Langley in his "New As tronomy" gives an account of au ob server who describes the terrifying ad vance of the shadow as overwhelming. He was on the Superba, at Turin, at the time, and be remarks, f'l felt al most giddy for a moment, as if the massive building under me bowed on the side of the coming shadow." "Frequently the effect upon the be holder is of something material sweep ing over the earth from the woat and with considerable speed. ' Another observer said that at the ap proach of the waves of shadow he found himself listening for the rushing noise of a mighty wind. It has also been noticed that the shadows of 4 the leaves are sickle-shaped daring the waning light of the sun just before totality. While awe-inspiring, yet a total eclipse of the sun is most impressive, with the swift onrush of darkness from the west, the flickering quiver of the last-expiring gleams of sunlight and the sudden fall of night when : the" silvery radiance of the corona, or crown of glory, surrounding the sun becomes visible, the dazzling glare of that lumi nary being hidden by the dark globe of the moon: As the moon approaches the point when it will be exactly between the sun and the earth a peculiar darkness creeps over that part of the earth in the neigh borhood of the shadow, and the light of the suhj?row8 dim. The sky assumes an ashen hue, as before a storm, and the air becomes decidedly . chilly. Flowers close their petals, as at night, and others that give forth their fra grance at night are sweetly perceptible as long as the sun is obscured. Even the birds are'deceived by the unusual appearance of fee gky, and fly home to their nesta in the trees. . Why is it that men are so anxious to pull the bell on the back of a street car when they could n'it be hired to do it for a living? j Aboluteiy Pure For the third of a" century the standard for strength and purity.

Lizzie ssw the "too, too solid flesh" thereon following the law of suction as well as the demmur under the breast bone. But she clung to the belief in the wise woman, and I was dismissed with iguormuy. ' Iu Ireland we do not take offense at this kind of treatment. I wrote to Lizzie's landlord, Lord C , saying the woman was growing "sr-fie," and by return post received a XI not to pay ex penses of a change for her. A short spell in Dublin worked wonders. The demmur no longer set her heart a gallopiii, and "the j suiting of the train stopped the beatiu' ov hr poolse." My skill was equally Blighted by . an other patieut. She told me her liver was troubling htr, pointing at the same time to a spot nigh up und.r her left arm. "Qod bless us, womanl" II roared, "your liver does not lie there."
