R C. j - FRIDAY AUGUST 17 1906 THE NEGRO QUESTION AT THE NORTH. It looks like the "negro question" is being rapidly transferred from the south to the cities of the north, es pecially to the great city of New York. The social feature of the general prob lem is certanly taking on greater pro portions there than in . our section. There never was any doubt as to how this question would be settled in our part of , the country. There never was any cause for alarm here because of it, but it is assuming startling pro portions in New York city. The negroes are not content, as they were a few years ago, to confine them selves to a certain residential porton of the city where they had colonized; but now they are ambitious to invade the more fashionable part of the city, and their ambition is being gratified through the means of a real estate company which is establishing negro tenement houses and negro colonies in various localities of the up town part of the city. This has been made easier by the rapid increase of the negro population of the city in the last few years. -Up to recent date the negro resi dents were colonized chiefly on Fifty third street, but of late they have be gun to branch out Into the more fash ionable sections. They are no longer willing to confine their residence to the negro colony. They seek more preten tious habitations among the upper classes of white people, and wherever they make a new lodgement trouble is raised. j The Afro-American Company, which is at the bottom of this move ment, has purchased large apartment buildings in West Fortieth street, which wili be turned into negro tene ments. On Ninety-ninth street this company owns several large apartment houses and has leased a number of others. In West Ninety-eighth street two or more- apartment houses have been leased by it, all of which will be tenanted by negroes. The blacks Mve invaded streets still higher up ihe city, and in that neighborhood have established a saloon 'solely foTnegro 'patronage. Wherever they locate dis : order, immediately breaks out and the sections become known to the police as rowdy ones. The value of adjacent real estate drops as soon as a negro tenement tiouse is established in any locality and the white people sacrifice their property in order to be able to moVe from the neighborhood. Often found and this has enabled the Afro American company to buy much prop erty at far below its real value. j 1 Along with the socal advancement of the negroes comes demand for political recognition. They are be ginning to feel their politicaT power and are inclined to presume upon it. In one assembly district there are , three hundred more negro voters than white, and their leaders are demand ing that a negro should represent them in the lower house of the state legislature. Booker Washington - has told them that "an Afro-American . assemblyman in New York would be worth more to their race than an Afro- , American congressman from the south". Washington shows good sense .j in the position he takes, for he knows i there will never be another "Afro American" congressman from the , south. The next legislative assembly, whether state or national, which numbers a negro among its members will4 have such member as the repre sentative of a constituency north of ' the Potomac river. Washington knows that if his race is ever again to win a political victory for one of its mem bers it will not be ; on southern soil. The white republicans of the north .know that there are many legislative and congressional districts, and even some states, in which the negroes hold the balance of power, and were the latter inclined to do so could Insist on x; representation: on tickets or break the republican hold on the district or - state. It looks- as if the negroes in New . York are beginning to realize this fact as to some of the legislative districts in that city and are likely to insist on their .rights. Well, , when they do and we see negro members of the legis latures of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and such northern states, the whiter people of those sections must not expect any sympathy from the southern people, but may rather look forlrejoicing in this section. ROOSEVEIT AND THE TER3. THIRD The Washington Post discusses the meaning of the "third term" principle as applied to election of presidents. It asks: Were Mr. Roosevelt to be nom inated and elected again would it be a third term for him? and argues that it would not be so The election of Mr. T. J. Jarvis as governor of this state in 1880 was a case somewhat similar to that of Mr. Roosevelt under present circumstances as it relates to the third term idea. Mr. Jarvis was elected lieutenant gov ernor with Senator Vance as gov ernor in 1876. The governor re "Bigned in a few months to accept the senatorship and Lieutenant Governor Jarvis succeeded him and at the end of the term was nominated and elected governor, though he could not have been so elected had he "been the sue- cessful candidate for governor at the beginning, of the term to which he suc ceeded on Mr. Vance's retirement from the office, as the constitution of the state declares that' the person elected to that office shall not be eligible 10 the same office more than four, years in any term fcf eight years, "unless the office shall hav been cast upoa him as lieutenant governor." Mr. Jarvis filled the office of governor for nearly two terms of four years each, or about seven years, the exceptional clause in "the constitutional provision against a governor succeeding himself making this permissible. Why should not the same principle a that embodied in the exceptional clause to 'our slate constitutional provision above referred to apply to the unwritten law against a man serving as president for three terms when the first term of his ser vice was cast upon him as vice presi dent by the office of president be coming vacant through the death or resignation of the former occupant? The Post says on this subject: Were he to be nominated and elect ed again, would it be a third term for him? There is a good deal to be said against if, for he would have been elected president but twice. During his first period of service, which cov ered only three years and six months, he was acting in the place of another man, and, as is well known, felt bound to carry out his policies, retain his appointees, and fulfill his pledges. In no full, sense of the word can that broken period, with its political char acter fixed and its officials selected beforehand by some one else, be said to be a presidential term of Thodore Roosevelt. He was merely by designa tion of law standing in place of anoth- er, and his first term began when ne was elected president. There is evi dently force enough to this view to re move the third term objection to his nomination if his party wants him and he Is willing to run. So far as his party goes, there is no doubt at "the present time as to its preference, which leaves the matter entirely with him. Mr. Bryan seems to have mapped out a campaign for himself to begin soon after his arrival. He has made the following engagements for public speeches: Chicago,-on September 4th; Lincoln, September 5th; St. Louis, September 11th; Louisville, September 12th and Cincinnati September 13th. He will stop at Kansas City on his way home. Soon after the November elec tions he will begin a canvass in Aus tralia, .one of the very few nations of the globe which he did not stump on his present tour of the world. There has been no announcement yet when he will invade the forbidden territory of Tibet and f storm with his elo quence the city of Lhasa. Our congratulations to the Chatham Record and best wishes for Its editor, the Hon. Henry A. Lendon-for con tinued success in the future. With its last issue that paper intered upon , its twenty-nith annual volume. For twen ty-eight years it has been owned and edited by the gentleman who still makes it an influential factor in the cause of democracy and the develop ment of his section of the state. xMay it continue for anany years to keep up the good work it has done and the val uable influence it has wielded in the state. The value of such a paper to the public cannot be summed up in dol lars and cents or the good that it has done be estimated. One of the officials of the SoutZL una .Western railroad tells a Charlotte Chronicle representative that there are three thousand five hundred laborers at work on the construction of that road and that the section between Spriic Pine and Marion will -be in operation by January next. From Marion to Rutherfordton or Mount Holly the work will be much less dif ficult and greater progress can be made. It wont be long before Wil mington will have her through line to the coal fields of Tennessee and Ken ' tucky. : '. ;. ? ' 'i V : Those South. American fellows must think Mr) Root is the president instead of only one of that gentleman's ad visers. " . I ( Judge Justice is now holding court in Moore county. We are glad to see that men convicted before him on the charge of carrying concealed weapons are; being severely punished. With him it is not suspension of judgment on pay ment of costs or the imposition of a nominal fine for this offense or of as sault with dealy weapons, but is sruch punishment as fifty dollars fine and four months' Imprisonment. That is the way to break up this pernicious habit. Does any body believe that gentle man saw Banker Stensland in Pitts burg the other day and the latter told him he had a plenty of money? If it be so then the friend lost a good opportunity to negotiate a handsome loan. Coney Island is not such a pleasant place to visit now. When one starts for the place it is a question whtther he will get there safely or have his head broken on the way. Court Martial for Salisbury Militia. Court martials are to be ordered by Governor Glenn to convene right after Tae first regiment encampment, for investigation of the conduct of the Salisbury military company recently in the Salibury lynching. The court martial will be at the request of Capt. Max Barker, who was in command of the company. He claims that he re tired from the jail because Sheriff Julian would not give orders to per mit his men to shoot into the mob. The court martial will be held about August 20. Governor Glenn says the only way to proceed against state of ficers for dereliction of duty would be by suit or indictment. Reidsville Re view. The End of the World of troubles that robbed' E. H.

Railroad Automobile. W. R. Hudson, superintendent of the first division of the Seaboard Air Line road was here, yesterday afternoon in his railroad automobile. He and with him a civil engineer and bridge in spector. The party left here after 4:30 o'clock and said they were going into Richmond for supper last evening, the supper being a little late, of cottrse. The machine moves along at a rapid pace and Mr. Hudson said that he could get from forty to fifty miles an hour out of it on good track.
