The Alabama Senator ably Champions the Cause and Defends the Course of the White People of North Caro linaA Ringing Speech in the Sen ate Called Forth by Pritchard's Resolution in Regard to the Proposed Constitutional Amendment En franchisement of the Negro Brought About asa Punishment to theSouth. ( Jlaltiinoie Sun, Jan. 10 ) Senator Morgan"- speech in Senate Monday, in regard to re-t fiction of negro su iTraire, will up the old abolition element, the the -tir ttid ' iho-;i' who brought about the en- ; f raiH'lii.-i'tni'iit of the negro as a pun- j i-lnuerit foi- the South. Mr. Mor- ' gan's remarks, as stated in the Sun ' Vest et'i I a V. were !asi'i upon seil ti poll a reso- ulion introduced bv Senator Fritch- .tt'il. of North Carolina, as follows: "That an enact ment by constitution or otherwise bv any State which con fers the ri'ht of vote upon :uiv of its citizen- because of their deseent from certain persons or classes of persons, and excludes other citizens because thev are not descended from such persons or cla--es of persons having all ot her iiia!itieatioiis pre-ct ibed by la -v. is, in the opinion of the Senate, in violation to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Con stitution of the I'niled Slates, and of a fundamental principle of our Re publican form of government."" A pi oposed amend ment to the Con stitution of North Crrolina, after pre scribing an educational iUaliliealion for voters in that State, provides that "no male person who was, on January 1st. Ii7, entitled to vote under the laws of any State in the I'nited States wherein he then re sided, and no lineal descendant of any such person, shall be denied to regis ter and vote at any election in the State bv reason of his failure to piis-ess the educational ipialifica tion." In North Carolina, the ijues tion before the people as to the pur pose of the proposed a mend men t of the Constitution is the same in sub stance if it is not identical with that which is e in 1 mi I i ed in t he Const it ut ion of Louisiana. In general belief as to the purpose of those who ordained the Louisiana ( 'oust it ut ion is lliat it was intended to disfranchise a large number of negro voters in that State. If Con gress should declare that Louisiana has no government, that is Repub lican in form, the couseipience of such a declaration might be. says Senator Morgon. the reduction of the State to a territorial government. If that were not done, then Louisiana might be placed under military supervision (as (ieorgia. Alabama, Louisiana. Texas and other States were under the reconstruction laws of 1117) and held in that grasp of power until the people have formed ueh a ( 'oust it ut ion as will meet the approval of Congress. While Mr. Morgan docs not think Congress would adopt cither plan, he regards the sit nation as one of "dread signif icance,' and "appeals to the forbear ance, wisd mi and patriotism of Con gress and the people for a dispassion ate consideration of the subject."' Mr. Morgan denies that a legal in terpretation of the Louisiana Consti tution discloses a purpose to dis criminate against any person claim ing the right to vote at any election on the ground of race, color or pre vious conditions of slavery. In a re cent case involving the validity of the Mississippi election law, the Supreme Court of the I'nited Slates held that --the discrimination which is violative of the Constitution as amended must appear on the face of the State law, or by a necessary in tendment frmn it, and not from the manner in which the State law is administered. The Supreme Court has declared in several cases, accord ing to Mr. Morgan, that neither the Fourteenth nor Fifteenth Amendment gives the negro any vested right to the ballot. It is. therefore, not a right, but a policy, he says, that is established, and Congress is the solo judge as to the time and the occas ion for enforcing that policy. Mr. Morgan contends that since the Fiftcen.h Amendment to the Federal Constitution was proclaimed on March ." th. l7o, a- a part of the Constitution, a new generation of voters has com into existence. This guru-ration of Americans." he declares, arc free thinkers and boh! actors, within the limits of their rightful authority, on all matters that concern them and their posterity; ami ijuestions will be answered by them according to the passions and pre judices of th' former times in which they originated.' "It is the experiences of the younger men." says Mr. Morgan, arising out of the effort to work negro suffrage into our political svs tcin a a a harmonious element, and not the prejudices or rocntmcnts of tl..! F.. .. .. .-..I. . .1..,. 1. . - mi H'niiii jiaouiMiuis mai ii.io prompted a strong and deci.-ive move- incut in the Southern State-. It wil never cease utiles it is held down le. military power. It is a social evil as well as political, and the cost of iis ! suppression wui not be counted ! v this or succeeding generations n connection with ipiestions of ma c- rial prosperity. No oreat body of white people in the vorid could be expected to cjuietly accept a situation so distressing and demoralizing as js created by negro suffrage in he South. It is a thorn in the flesh and will irritate and rankle in the l idv politic until it is removed as a factor in government. There are some propositions that are umbnia- o'. which nrove that perfect ac oid between the former warring sections of the Union that can never bt at tained so long as the negroes are forced upon the white people o: the Southern States as full and equal par ticipants in the ballot box." Mr. Morgan believes that the real .senitment of the peojik of the United .States is averse to the continuance of the dangerous conditions- which pre vail in the South. He thinks if the question could in some way be brought before the people in the elec tion of the members of Congress that the decision would be in favor of not disturbing Louisiana or North Caro lina because of the methods they will adopt to minimize the nero vote in those States. If the question, of ncrn sufTrai'e wen a new one, to be submitted for the; first time to the several States, Mr. Morgan is con fident that a vast majority of the white people in the United States would vote to give the Southern States "the right to cuntrol their own affairs without negro interference. " The Alabama Senator is a enthusias tic: imperialist and significantly sug- gests that "if, in the Philippine archi- pelago, a happy home is found for the African race, to which they would flock with rejoicings and grow into power beneath our Hag, and among a people many or wtioni are their near kindred, there would be few to re gret th:;t our free republic, with it free rel.gioii, had expanded to open tli! .-wr t i humanity."' It is n t quite certain, however, that tie Filipinos would welcome the negnu -. Thev regard the black soldiers now in the islands with unmistakable a f sion. The Cubans, also, are not anxious to absorb the colored popula tion of the South, and manifes:-d a marked dislike of the negro regi ments which were sent to their island. In the settlement of the prob lems growing out of an imperialistic policy, the question of the suppres sion of the votes of the Filipinos, Ilawaiians and negro Porto Kicans may have an important bearing- upon the great evils with which the South has had to contend since rd instruc tion davs. SLIPPING AWAY.

SOUTHERN RAILWAY'S GROWTH- The Southern railway began opera tion, on July 1, 1894, with 2,012 miles of road.ineludingthe properties of the Richmond and Danville and certain of its leased and controlled lines. After September 1, 1894, it operated '...92 miles. Five vears later, on .July 1, 1899, the mileage operated was 5,959 miles, to which miles have since been added by the lease of the Atlantic and Dan ville, and thirty-one miles will be added pro-ently by the completion of new construction in South Carolina. The grow th of five years in business has been commensurate with that in extent of road. The Southern's gross earnings in the first years of its history amounted to 17,"l 14.000, and in the fifth year to "?25, 353.900; its passengi r mileage in the lirst year to 178.01. ".,925 and in the lifth to 1311, -020,836: its revenue freight mileage in the lirst year to $1, 093.932,884. and in the fifth year to f 1,771, 925, 333: while in 1894-95 the surplus in come available for dividends was only $895,000, as compared with $2,o'.i 1,000 in 1898-99. These impor tant gains are due in part to terri torial expansion, but in part also to the growth of the industries of the South and to prudent management. Ex- '.iingc.

Everywhere in North Carolina tho sentiment for good roads seems to be I - . . 1 - irrowiujr, aim iu several counties me and iu work of grading and macadamizing ha begun. Kvery teacher in the public schools of the State should make special effort to help develop the sentiment. Occasional lessons on the value of irood roads should be given to the whole school, and a"jool roads day,' addresses, by prominent citizens favoring the building of the roads, might do much good. Of course the parents of the children should be invited to hear the addres- ses and the improvement of the schools should not be passed over in silence. Teachers should take an in- terest in all cpiestions of this kind a ffec t i n g t he welfare of t he community, and in this one especially, since the welfare of the schools is" ?o closelv connected with it. With rood roads. there will be little or uo opposition to lessening .the number of schools and increasing the size of the district, a measure absolutely necessary to any great improvement in the schools. Xorth Carolina Journal of Education. Capt. McCabe's Admirable Address DELIVERED BEFORE THE NEW ENGLAND SOCIETY IN NEW YORK. 'Our Re-United Country" as His Subject the Eloquent Virginian Captures and Captivates His Hearers The Address Favorably Received and Highly Praised by New York and New England Papers. (Atlanta 1'rof. Gordon McCabe, of Feters bcrg, Va one of theSouth's foreiuu3L educators, writers and orators, re cently delivered an address before the New England Society of New York, which strikingly recalls both in the manner of its reception and in the spirit of its appeal the address de livered before that body by Henry W. Grady in 188G. Prof. McCabe was at his best and his effort was notable in many respects. Rut even more nota ble is the conciliatory attitude and temper of the comment adopted by the newspapers of the North in uni formly accepting the address of Prof. McCabe as the vocal expression of the general sentiment which exists today in the South. We are specially struck wjth the language of the Providence Journal, which editorializes upon the address as follows: "The address of Professor William Gordon McCabe, of Virginia, delivered last Friday evening at the New Eng land dinner in New York, caused the greatest enthu siasm of the evening. It was an eloquent tribute to the South anil to the possession by the people of that section of the country of the same spirit of unbending con viction that characterized the New FOngland pilgrims. Professor McCabe declared that when the civil war was over the South accepted the 'stern ar bitrament of the sword, the pitiless logic of the heavier battalions, as set tling at once and forever the practical interpretation of the constitution,' but refused to declare that it had consciously done wrong in opposing the North. It had its own ideals, its own notion of the significance of the union between thestates. It supported these on t he battlelield and gave most liberally of its blood and money to enforce its position. When it was compelled to desist, its farms and towns were in ruins and its industrial system was destroyed. The North forced it to remain within the union and to accpiiesce in the opinion of the majority as to the binding power of the republic, one and inseparable. Rut we, could not make it admit tLsat its attempted secession was wrong. A wiser generation has agreed to let the past be past. If theSouth wishes to justify its action to itself, it is at liberty to do so. We at the North may say, at this distance from the heated discussions of the sixties, that one section of the country was moved as much by patriotic impulses as the other. The difference was that the North took a wider view and made the whole country the patriotic unit, while the South was loyal to a seg ment of the whole, lying on one side of Mason and Dixon's line. Considerate northerners are careful, at least in the presence of southerners, not to speak of the "rebellion." It is as easy to say the "civil war," and there is no reason why we should not grant so much to the defeated section. It would be unreasonable to expect men like Professor McCabe, who fought in a gray uniform, to look upon themselves as traitors, or to do other wise than cherish the memory of the heroes of their lojt cause. Professor McCabe said at New York: "It may well be, that when this generation shall have passed awa and the motives and convictions of men shall be apprehended without passion, that the young American treading some one of those stately avenues that lead to our national capitol, shall pause opposite the pre sentment in bronze of Grant and of Sherman, to ga.e upon the heroic figures of Lee and Jackson." This may seem an impossible dream to those notherners who participated in the civil war, but in the early years of the twentieth century such a thing may come to pass. It is the old ques tion over again. Shall we teach com ing generations that rebellion against the flag is right aud honorable? On the other hand, shall we withhold from conscientious American soldiers, who earnestly defendod a irreat prin- ciple, recognition of their valor and sincerity. It rs perhaps too soon to i .solve a problem like that. Hut of one j thing we can be assured. The South j is loyal now, and would support the i government valiantly in time of need, i Professor McCabe told his audience j at New York that "ere the tirst call . to arms of our common country shall j have died upon the breeze, you shall j hear the tramp of our legions as they j wheel into line to touch elbows with I the stalwart sons of New England, i eager to keep time with the cadenced step to the music of the union aye. ; to hedge round with stubborn steel j that -tarry banner that symbolizes j once more to us as to you the majesty of American citizenship and the in destructibility of republican institu tions." When we remember the deeds of men like Hobson, Blue. Wheeler, Lee. Hagloy and other loyal southern ers, since the declaration of war against Spain, we feel that Profesor McCabe was speaking truly, and not for mere rhetorical effect. Following in the wake of the ad dresses recently delivered by ex-Governor William J. Northern, in Boston, and by Mr. Clark Howell, in Buffalo, this mngnitieient speech of Professor McCabe before the New England Society of New York is calculated to accelerate the good work which is be ing done by southern orators at the North to establish between the two sections of the country that mutual understanding which is so vitally necessary to the complete restoration of fraternal good will. Such sjeeches cannot be made too often. Without seeking to apologise for the South's conduct in times past in loyally ad- Constitution.) hering to cherished convictions of constitutional tight, they serve to open the eyes of the North to the actual condition of affairs w hich exist in the South; while, on the other hand, in the cordial reception ac corded them in the North, they serve to open the eyes of the South" to the frank and honest spirit with which the North stands ready to hear the truth when told in terms. straightforward The New York Tribuncin comment ing on Capt. McCabe's address said this: Responding to the toast, "Our Re united Country," Captain McCabe said, in part: Much as I have en joyed these speeches, one thing 1 con fess has puzzled me no little. And that is, that wellnigh every one of your distinguished orators has in sisted (directly or by implication) that the Pilgrims really founded and shaped the destinies of our nation, and that but for New England patriotism and Puritan devotion to duty and to principle, that little revolt of 177G would have proved somewhat of a fiasco. God forbid that here, or else where, I ahall seek to abate one jot or tittle of the debt that the nation owes to stubborn New England grit and sagacious New England state craft. In your December oratory here to night you naturally have unfolded to you the New England point of view. Hut come down to Virginia and clink glasses with me in May, when we meet to celebrate (in far more Puritanical fashion than this) the anniversary of the lirst permanent English settle ment in America, yonder at James town, where more than a year before the landing of theMayllower was con vened the first legislative assembly in the New World, and you will hear "our after-dinner orators unblushingly de clare that when the dun war cloud lowered in the East and the foolish policy of Lord North had denied the chartered liberties of our Old Dominon and her sister colonies of New F2ng Iand, that it was a Virginian, Grorge Maiison, who drew the immortal "Rill of Rights"; that it was a Virginian, Richard Henry Lee, who first moved in the Continental Congress that "these Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States"; that it was a Virginian, Thomas Jefferson, who drafted the Declaration of Independence, and that it was that glorious rebel and great Virginian, George Washington, who made it good by his sword. Come to us with your memories of Lexington, where that shot was tired that went echoing 'round the world; come to us with the story of Hunker Hill, where the old Puritan spirit blazed high ami defeat wore the mantle of glory, and we will stand uncovered before yonder noble monument in Richmond, from which looks down upon us in imperishable bronze "the counterfeit presentment" of the na tion's greatest son seated in easy majesty on his mettled steed, serene and resolute, such as he may have seemed to his ragged New England soldiery and his own "Virginia Ki He men" in deer-skin leggings and fringed hunting shirt, as he rode slowly down his lines under the Cam bridge elms on that summer's morn ing more than a century ago while grouped beneath him stand the heroic figures of those great Virginiaus who shared with him and with your fathers the peril and the glory of guiding the new nation out of the dark and nar row bondage of a royal tyranny into the broad sunlight of republican freedom. I can but think, sir, that a blend ing of the two points of view gives us the truer perspective as to our na tional development. What you call the Puritan spirit, of which you are justly proud, lias, never, I think, been confined to New England alone: nor do I believe that Virginia tan claim exclusive heritage in the trracious aud i generous qualities of the Cavalier. But it needed, I think, the splendid i object lessons given by Southern men j in the Spanish war to silence forever ! the cavils and dotibtings of many i austere patriots, who for thirty years ! and more had proved them "as in ; vincible in peace as they had been j invincible in war." Above the first j tierce.mutteriugs of the coming storm I rose high and clear yonder at Havana I the voice of Fitzhugh Lee, demanding i with soldierly directness prompt Spanish recognition of the sanctity of American citizenship, i Then, when the die was cast, and j the Olympia on that memorable May i morning stood into Manila Ray. "on the brid"e," close alongide of George j Dewey, of Vermont, stood "Torn"" j Brumby, of (ieorgia ((iod rest his I noble soul): and so, when the Ameri- can flag was first unfurled to the I breeze over the first American pos- session iu the Eastern world, the son of an old Confederate coloDel stood at j the halyards. j Ten day.- later, at Cardenas, the I lirst crimson libation of the war was poured out on the altar of Cuban liberty, and the brave young blood of that gallant lad. Worth Bagley. of the "Old North State," son, too, of an old Confederate soldier, cementing forever the reconciliation between North and South. And as in quick succession the names of Hobson and Blue and Fightihg Joe' Wheeler blazed in official dispatches, the thunderous shouts of a re-UDited people drowned even the "iron-throated plaudits of the guns."" (iod forbid that war. civil or for- eigu. should come again in this our time. He who has once seen the suf fering and sorrow and desolation that it brings to happy homes can never wish to see it again. Hut should it come, men of the North, and of the East, and of the West, I speak for my people that peo ple, who never yet faltered in half way diliance to a foe or half-way wel come to a friend I speak for my peo ple, ere the first call to arms of our common country should have died upon the breeze you shall hear the tramp of our legions as they wheel into line to touch elbows with the stalwart sons of New England, eager to keep time with the cadeuced step to the music of ihe L'niou ay! to hedge "round with stubborn steel that "Starry Hanner" that symbolizes once more to us, as to you, the majesty of American citizenship aud the indestructibility of tho republican institutions. (Applause and cheers.) It has been demonstrated rejieatedly in every state in the Union and in many for eign countries that Chamberlain's t'ougli Remedy is a certain preventive and cure for croup. It hits become the universal remedy for that disease. M. V. Fisher of Liberty, V. Va., only repeats what lias been said around the globe when he writes: T have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in my family for several years and always with perfect success. We believe that it is not only the best cough remedy, but it is a sure cure for croup. It has saved the lives of our children a number of times." This remedy is for sale by the Dorsey Drug Co. HONESTY ESSENTIAL TO CHRIS TIAN LIFE. "He is a pretty good man, but er he doesn't pay. his debts." How often we hear this! For a man to re fuse to pay his debts when he can is to break that commandment which says "thou shalt not steal." Many ordinary debts, we might say most ordinary debts, are unpaid because the debtor uses for purposes other than necessities the money which should be applied to honest debts. We cannot say that a man is "pretty good" when he can and does not pay his debts. We would say that he is "pretty bad." Honesty is essential to the Christian life. There can be no overmastering sense of right in a man when he treats his fellow man with dishonesty; and by dishonesty, we do not mean legal dishonesty, but moral. The law of man will give a man a release from a debt, when the law of (iod considers him a thief. The local church is often cursed by some influential member who is "prettv good, but debts." Oh for a higher doesn't pay his sense of right. that will give (iod and man justice! JSorlli Carolina Jlaplist. At the Old Year's Grave. By the grave of the Old Year stood a little child, with an armful of flow ers. The light of the Morning was on his brow, the faith of the Future in his radiant eyes. One by one the flowers fell upon the grare, till it was hidden beneath a crimson canopy. Some were flowers of joy, and some were flowers of tears; some were the roses of sweet song, and some were memories of sighs. But oyer all there fell the lilies of Love, and that fair flower whose sweeter name ii Hope. And gloriously streamed the Light from the far, eastern hills. Glad voices floated heavenward. There was a sound of silver trumpets a melody of bells. And the child atill faced the Future, and if a teardrop trembled in his eyes it was kissed away of Light. And he passed, singing, into the hearts and homes of men. heralded by Hope, and welcomed by the music of the rejoicing bells. -Frank Stanton, in Atlanta Constitution. FREE BLOOD CURE.

Learning Not as Essential to Success as Firm Convictions and an Honest Purpose, Love of Justice and the Courage to do Right. Coupled With Earnest, Persistent Effort and a Proper Con ception of the Duties and Respon sibilities of the True Country Editor Give Your Local Paper Loyal Support. (Atlanta Constitution.) A man need not be a great writer to be a good editor; he has no need to bother himself about style or diction. I All the capital he needs to make him- i self interesting and influential i to . have earnest convictions, and to In sure that these convictions have lived principles behind them. In writing, ! he has only to mean what he say?, : and to be able to give a reason for it. : to make himself interesting and at tractive. The great majority of men do not . reason at all. They act on impulse: thev are unable to give an account of all their beliefs; they do not know the difference between probability and inference, or between assent and certitude; the man who has their ear for a moment is the man whose ideas the- will absorb. On some of the ' most imjiortant questions of the, hour, the average man entertains the I views that he has heard latest be-j cause these are the ones he can re-1 member best. He is most vitally con- j cerned with action, with attending to! the business of the day or the hour; j antl he is willing to reason only when ' O j he is forced to do so from necessity, or when the cue to do so comes from i without. It is this state of public mind that I offers such an inviting Held to the! editor of a country weekly. If he is I intent only on "filling up" his edito- j rial page, "he will wield no influence save that which naturally attaches to i the medium in which the people read j the news of their county and their j neighborhoods; but if he has Veal con victions a very rare article in thi world he will have a policy, and the earnest advocacy of a policy is sure to attract attention, and if his con victions are based on fixed princi ples which he can fall back upon and defend, he is sure to have a follow ing. Earnest convictions breed ideas, and open up new avenues of thought and discussion. Whenever a paper has, a fixed policy and endeavors to educate the people to think that way and reasons out clearly and logically why they should do so. it will not be long before that paper will have an influence in the community where it is published that will be felt by every interest in its reach. If, however, upon the other hand, the editor listens to popular clamor, or so words his editorials as to read two ways and lies awake at night thinking out t In big side of a question and after be has found it varies his opinions here and there to suit, it will take but a few short. months to make the paper lie edits valuable only for the news it disseminates, and soon that wiil go at a discount because-the populace have a contempt for any man who ha no fixedness of purpose or who is too cowardly to take a bold stand for that which he believes to be right. The man who is really convinced by his own views and beliefs will find means for convincing others, and these means will be at once simple, direct and forcible. What a man feels keenly he will describe earnest ly, and the thing is done. The model county paper is that in which the editor not only reports all the local news in attractive fashion, but bring- to the attention of his readers what ! he conceives to be right views on all questions. I Nevertheless, it should be said that j a county weekly is not obliged to have a lively or an attractive edito rial page, especially if it be the chief aim of the editor to gather and pre sent all the legitimate news of the county. In that case the paper be comes sociological in its character and tends t'i knit the community closer together than ever before. The theory of the Constitution is now and always has been that the man who refuses to support hi-. county paper, no matter whether h-1 agrees with the editor or not, cannot I Im; depended upon to aid in thei growth and development of his town and his community. The man who: takes any paper at all should take i his home paper: if he makes thi small investment he will soon betray a desire to widen his point of view, and will patronize, in addition, some newspaper that has a wider field of jje rations. A MOST VALUABLE HOOK. We are indebted to the kindneh- and courtesy of Hon. B. F. Grady, of North Carolina, a gallant Confederate veteran, for a copy of his work, en titled "TheSouth against the North." We doubt whether any book has been vvritten that more clear! v detfne j the political relations between the St atfcs since the organization of the Government, or that depicts more truthfully the causes that led to the civil war. It is a calm, dispassion ate, and nia-terlv vindication of the South. Every proposition is stated I with intelligent precision and sus-; taine i bv unanswerable argument. : Mr. Grady's Uok i an in valuable i addition to Southern literature, aud should have an honored place in ' every library in the land.
