THE SEMI-WEEKLY MESSENGER: TUESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1893. XB&tered at the Postofflce at Wilmington, J. CL, xs second 'class mall matter. TflK liOUCATIONALi TEST IN LOU ISIANA. The Louisiana democrats carriekl the -cafferl constitutional convention over xifltelirtingly. The republicans and jwpul&3 13 soot vote tog-ether against ii Only some two parishes were car rfcai by the opponents. The negroes unit populist voted tog-ether. The re paaNfcans voted with The democrat mainly. It is sard that the republicans .are actually irrore united and enthusi astic "as to disfranchising the negroes than the democrats are. 'An exchange stays that the vote of LouLslana is: "White, 125,000; negro, 120,000. Under the proposed changed it is estimated that 20,000 -Whites and 100,000 negroes will be disfranchised, leaving a White -vote of 1 05,000 and a negro vote of 20,000. The negroes will be in a mlnw tty In all the parisnes in the state ex cept two, and will cut a very small figure in politics, if the plan proposed fa carried out. The leading negroes have prepared a jyeOtion to be laid 'before 'the conven tion. The plea offered is that the school term for negroes i3 inadequate tnwl advantages ditto. The contention Is that 'in 181r, there were 199,830 negro d?ldren capable of education: "The num-ber of colored schools fcr fhe same year was 895, and of teachers SSI; thus we have one school for every 231 sonolars, an'd one 'teacher for every therefore, if we assume 40 as the nor mal Vrmit of gehoTars to teachers we rteel at least five times as many teach ers as we mtave at present, or, 'if we take 50 scholars to the teachers, it would require 4,000 teachers to meet the prewent demand." The New Orleans Picayune showi3 that in 1895 the enrollment was: White cJh'FIdren enrolled 98,400 Average att'endance 69,559 Colored children enrolled 65,919 Average attendance 43,661 "'From thli's it will be seen thalt less Vhan one-half the white children of those ages are enrolled, and not more than one-third attend school, While of the colored childiren, not more than one-third are enrolled an'd less than jne-fourth attend school." The ages are bdtween 6 'and 18. The PScsa-yune ridicules the idea of 4,000 tc-aeh-ers. and rightly says that the negroes cannot properly ask f more 'advantage's than those given to the Whites, ias the latter pay most of the taxes an'd own nine-tenths 'of tne prop erty. They act upon the principle if ttvey dK not ask 'much they will not receive much. But they are rather srofdy. Taking up the figuring of the negro 1etJtlon the "Washington Post shows Ithat only 43,661 of 197,836 colored chil Iren attendeid school, an'd only 65,919 were enrolled as desiring education. There were 895 schools and 961 teach ers. Thi's leads the Post to say that "if all the colored children enrolled had altten'dod school, there would have been abundant accommodation for them in. the matter of Wildings, and there would have 'been one teacner for each 68 pupils. 'As a matter of fact, XioWevor, only 43,661 colored children attended, So there was one teacher to about 47 pupils 'a larger proportion than the petition claims as necessary. Why should the state ibe called upon to employ 3,000 mere colored teachers when official statistics row that ithere fa nothing for them to do." The trouble In most southern states i)s that the (school terms for both races re t yhort, the pay of teachers in adequate, and the standard of re rturement too low. That is the first orouDie to oe encountered in arne. education of irhe masses The next trouble 'is very ser ious. The children of neither race avail themselves of such opportunities for learning as are offered. The whites fall far short of duty 'in compelling their Children to atten,d school. If any thing, in North Carolina the whites are fcxhind the negroes in the matter of public schooling. We notice in the last IVlonroe Journal thalt there were 931 chiMren. of school age in one district, and but 415 in actual attendance or 47 per cent. "We favor an education qualification for all electors after a tiartain time specified. If the whites will not have their children taught to rCad a.n!d write let them h disfran chised with all other 'illiterates. The ..south is moving in this matter of an educational qualification to vote, and 5n Iiouisian'a, Ussissippi, Gectrgia and - South Carolina the matter is canvass-r-Hl freely. In Mississippi, however, there is already an educational quali fication in the contitutwn we 'believe. T1IUEE CASKS OF STOJIACn HI MOVAIi. The case in Switzerland of a wo man's stomach being removed some four months since has attracted not only great attention among the doc tors, but has also 'interested a gTeat many others outside of the profession. TCIie Messenger promptly gave some ac ourt of the most astounding operation 2Jil Its success so soon as St was re 3tirted in the New York Medical Re cord. The woman is getting along well Tsrithout any stomach at all, and has sxitually fattened. , This is a severe re--tmke to old theories, and if this opera tion 5s confirmed in the future it would jeeem as 5f the doctors would have to alxandon entirely all the old theories jgjiA practices as to the stomach, and even get rid of that rebellious member of the human system. With the stom ach discarded as an useless offender, and the Introduction by discovery of euch an unpleasant and serious addi tion as an appendix, the use of which does not yet appear, it would really seem a3 If surgery had other surprises in store of a complete revolution. "While the medical world keeps Its eye upon the operation upon the woman at Zurich, other experiments are already made and treated. In St. Louis last week Wednesday a man's stomach was removed, but the patient died in a few hour3. He was aged 46 and and a machinist. In Milwaukee a woman wa3 operated upon for cancer of the stomach. She died in four hours. These experiments rather damage the now theory. What will be the final conclusion time will show. Kobbed the Grave. A startling: incident of which Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrated by him as follows: T was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk n, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Fortu nately, a friend advised trying 'Elec tric Bitters,' and to my great joy and surprise, the first bottle made a de cided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim." Xo one should fail ty try them. Only ."0 cents per bottle at R. R.

The court and many officials and lawyers and citizens of Edgecombe county all ask for this. The failure to convict Alford and the convicting of Field show how imperfect and unjust jury trial now is in North Carolina. The whole business is farcial when not tragical. The governor should put the breaks en his pardon mill and not let it run too swiftly.

'eaten of the Insane COTTON MILLS IN TIJE SOUTH. The Chattanooga Tradesman gives a needed hint to textile journals of the .best way to make returns as to mills, etc. It says that "to be of any real value these annual returns should give concerning new mills, the capital invest ed; number of spindles, looms, knitting machines; line of goods each mill will pro-luce. The mere number of mills has very little significance. Fcr in stance, the returns we get would count the great Pelzer, with its $1,250,000 cap ital, and 105,000 spindles, and looms to match a mill, and offset it with "a mill of $50,000 capital and 5,000 spindles, in another state." The trade journals, and the Tradesman among them, do not give always reliable figures as to the number of mills, etc., in the south. The Tradesman lately gave the num ber of mills in North Carolina far be low what is correct, and with the mis take also blundered in the number of spindles arid the cotton consumed. North Carolina has also 17 wcoien mills, The following is not without interest: "The record of new mills, under taken tr projected, for 1S94, was 263; 195, 337; 1SS6, 330; 1897, 155. Sixty eight new mills were begun or project ed on the last half of 1S97. Of these thirty-one are cotton mills, eleven, woolen mills, seventeen knitting mills, one linen mill. The north and east has twenty-eight of these plants, the south thirty-five. It is noted tfhat the larger number, of the northern con cerns are small, and for knitting, or to manufacture silk goods. 'Sixty-six cotton mills were begun or projected In the south during the year, and twelve in the north." North Carolina did excellently last year. It will continue to build mills 'turns are less satisfactory as to profits I than this time last year.

The pride and sat isfaction the editor takes in the pro gress and growth of the town; the pa per's value as a medium by which a town's advantages may be advertised to the world; its reliability as a means 'by which the character and Intelli gence of a town's people may he judg ed by the outsider; its fredom from sensational and demoralizing features; its influence in local affairs 'all are signs tnat tne progressive, unsemsu citizen welcomes with a warm hand. iMilton (Vt.)Rays.

This is no exception to the rule, each year it seems more of our people believe there is a mint of money in opening oys ters and fishing than anything else, only to be disappointed and find at the end of the s'eason their money invested in nets has gone. Durham Sun: Mr. A. J. Lloyd, who is here on the jury, tells of another holdup robbery Saturday night last. He was coming from Chapel Hill after dark and just after crossing Closs' creek at the foot of the long hill this side of the vil lage, he was set upon by two men, one white and the other colored, and his pockets rilled.

Monroe Enquirer: A g- ntleman from Stanly county tells The Salisbury Sun that an attempt was male to assassi nate Mr. "Bob" Carter, a democratic magistrate, and -jlfo a registrar at the last election, and it is ;:roballe that the attempt to kill hhn rrew out of these matters, though Th i Sun's informant knew nothing of the origin.

There are rumors here of a compromise of the North Carolina railroad lease fight. Whether they will ever become anything more than rumors, cannot now be said.
