N'o.v. -ir. the people of North Caro i -1 : i are coiifronted !v the most seri-.!- eri-i- iii their history, since tin; iinie i hen t he St a! e's j n tel I i'eiice and woith -coiiracd ignorance, vice and deb niclierv from its hih places, a ijiiarter of a centui'y ao. It is propose! lo riiil a aronjj done tin- Slate through force, fraud and fanaticism, at a time when her '.xoithv citizenship was impotent and when her protest was considered 1 can-'- for fre-h indignities and more hih-hatided outrages by the aliens and renegades who held a bay onet t o her I hroat while thev despoiled her. For thirty years the State has worn the fetters riveted upon her limbs in her hour of weakness and has done it patiently, hoping in the end that they would drop away of their own weight or would be struck o'T when the animosities engendered of war and blood had passed away, and when a new generation in the union should see conditions in a perspective not distorted by passion and hate. The hope lias been vain, and the State has now taken up for herself the work of removing the incubus that has de laved her progress and menaced her peace and safety. In this undertak ing she has a rijjht to expect that every son who has nursed at her breast will stand shoulder to shoulder in her defense. 1'iider such conditions what do I li ii 1 is the attitude of the Populist organization (I do not say party) of which you, Mr. Butler, are the ac knowledged leader? I lind that at your instance that organization has adopted a resolution placing it in irreconcilable antagonism to those who would rijjht this wroiijj of thirty years standing. Iu your speech to "the committee you tell them that you will - whip this jranj; from the State." What "111." Mr. Butler, is it that ou propose to '-whip from the State"? It is the men whose fore bears have made the State jjreat in peace and terrible in war from the day that it w as carved from the wilderness and claimed from savagery. Did it occur to you when you were utter ing this jaunty threat that these men have never been whipped'" in all their history? They are mortal and may be killed; they can not be cowed. Their number is limited and they mav be overpowered: they can not be whi pped. And who, sir, compose vour cohorts that are to j;o s;aily forth to whip the men and the sons of the men who marched up to the redoubts at Gettys burg? Not the rank and tile of the Populist party. They are white men and w ill stand with their brethren for a white man's rights and a white man's State, l'hey are honorable men and will stand for the State's jjood name. They are intelligent men ami will stand with the men who make up W per cent of the State's intelligence. They are free men and therefore, sir, are not to be made the chattels of a petty cabal that bargain to sell the State to infamy to get ofliees for themselves : to enrich themselves with the price of her prostitution. They are chivalrous men and, there fore, will light with those who have alwavs protected the virtue of our women. Your army is made up of llM.iMit negroes otlicored by the few white men who have lived by trailing on their votes and who are naturally enraged that anyone should be about to end that tratlio. Negroes ami ren egade whites. Mr. Butler, may do what British veterans failed to do and what the battalions of Grant never did -but I doubt it. You are at liberty, sir, to sell your self if you can tiud a purchaser. There are some who believe your search in that particular has been re warded: it is no wild inference from your conduct. You can not sell the men who compose the Populist partv. You may attempt to betray them: they have come to expect that at vour hands. You can not lea 1 them with in the lines of your negro and rene gade army. What price. Mr. Butler, has been ottered you? The Senator ship again, doubtless, when you have whipped" decent white men out of the state." You will not get it until you accomplish that undertaking, and none would then be more eminently titted for the position. Negroes and renegade whites would perhaps tind you to their liking. In tLe eyes of all others you arc contemptible. Who shall blame you. therefore, for casting in your lot with those who, alone, do not shrink from your leadership? A. C. GREEN. GOOD-BYE.

A DISQUALIFIED SECTION. let The Washington Poat.an ably edited rs . and splendid newspaper, for some unknown reason seems to take per sistent delight in pointing the linger of scorn at the South, especially in matters political. In the matter of the negro in poli tics iu North Canrlina, the Post has several times proven to its own satis faction, editorially, that the negro was too good a citizen, much better than the poor white citizen, to be deprived of his vote by the passage of a Constitutional amendment. In fact, the 1'ost has satistied itself that the North Carolina negro is far ahead of what it terms the "poor whites,'" therefore it would be crimi nal to deprive such a class of "yeo manry" of the privilege of suffrage, while the "poor whites" would enjoy the privilege of the ballot, box. But the I'usCs latest editorial, in issue of loth, "Of no avail this year," shows the disapproval in which the Post regards the entire South. The Post, in noting the "expansion feeling" in the South, shows how the Southern people are seeing the ad vantages to them which the retention of the Philippines and the mainten ance of the "open door" policy with China would be. Also notes the edi torial expressions of many Southern papers, as well as naming prominent Southerners who favor expansion. After noting these things in a complimentary style, as if such senti ments showed the inarch of intelli gence iu the South, the Post then pro ceeds with its usual disqualification of the South, politically, as follows: "These facts and this situation con stitute the theme on which hundreds; of our contemporaries are dilating in atone which indicates a belief that expansion in the South will be an im portant factor in the Presidential campaign. The Post takes no stock in that opinion. The cotton States will be solid for the Democratic can didate. That the Democratic party will indorse tln Republican policy of expansion is next to impossible of be lief. McKinleyand expansion will be opposed by Bryan and anti-expansion, and not one state of the solid South, not one State South of the border States will swing out of the Demo cratic column. It may be interest ing to expatiate upon the rapid development and healthful growth of cxpausion --away down South in the lands of cotton" but nothing in the future of politics is more improbable than the capture of a single electoral vote in that section by the party which is going into the campaign as the champion of the administration's Philippine policy. " The fact that "the South will remain in the Democratic column, is not the point of the Post's fling, but it is that the Southern people have no political freedom. I hey mav believe in pro tection, in expansion, in the gold standard, in maintaining the govern ment's policy, vet these same people endowed wit h minds to form opinions on public ipiestions, are such politi cal cowards that they will vote con tinually against their convictions. And the Post would continue to en force its negro equality policy in Nortn Carolina, and keep in political slavery the white voters whom it scorns for their political cowardice in not voting their convictions at the ballot box!

The Amendment Must and Will be Carried W hite Men Must Rule in Every Part of North Carolina The Fiat Has Gone Forth and There Is no Turning Back Negro Rule is a Thing of the Past in This State and the Situation flay as Well be Ac cepted First as Last, Once For All. The Legislature of 18?9, in all did, was in-pired by a sincere desire to advance the interests of North Caro liua. and bring the blessings of peace ; and prosperity to all her people. E. J. .Justice. I THE PEOPLE TO DETERMINE. The Legislature has performed its part in preparing and passing the proposed amendineut to be voted on. It now remains for the people to say whether it shall be ratilied or not. If a majority of the votes cast shall be against it that ends it. If a majority shall be for it then it will become a part of our constitution. So the whole question and responsibility is now with the people. It is for them to say what shall be done with it. And in making up their minds and arriving at their conclusions they have ample time to consider this great question in all its bearings upon the future policies and interests of their State. Much will probably be written and spoken for and against the amend ment before the day of voting comes.' It will be well for the conservative, thoughtful people to take these argu ments and reasons, consider them and then vote as they be convinced is for the best interest of themselves, their homes and their State. -T. J. Jarvis. I am confident that the amendment to be submitted to the people is con stitutional, and there is no doubt iu rav mind that the courts cannot hold the oth section to be unconstitutional and permit the other sections to stand. Judge W. R. Allen. The day of negro control in the South has passed, and passed forever, and it may safely be asserted that no party controlled by the negro will ever again carry a State south of Mason and Dixon's line; and that the white men who hereafter attempt to manipulate the negro vote to further their mean and selfish ambition, and to degrade their race, will become daily and yearly more and more odious in the eyes of self-respecting white men and women. Let Senator Pritchard and his ollice holding negrophilists put this in their pipe and smoke it. F. M. Simmons. The amendment will be misrepre sented. Every possible attempt will be made to deceive the people. It will be fought with all the bitterness and malignity and rancor of the ren egades who use the negro as a means of public plunder, But it will be de fended and sustained with a zeal, an enthusiasm, an heroic determination that will lire the hearts of the patri otic sons and daughters of the Old North State from the mountains to the sea. Locke Craig. The issues growing out of this ques tion are supreme. The adoption of the Constitutional Amendment is all important to the people of North Car olina. Our State is about to enter upon an era of commercial and in dustrial prosperity hitherto unknown in our history. One incubus rests upon us, one dark shadow falls across our pathway. The elimination of the negro from polities until he becomes qualiiied to exercise the sacred right of suffrage will lift the one and dis sipate the other. Robert D. Gilmer. No man who wishes the people of North Carolina well can consistently oppose this amendment. Every one who would see our people arouse them selves and press forward iu improve ment must welcome the opportunity of voting for this measure. S. A. Ashe. Mr. Chairman Great sympathy with the people of my native State in duces me toaddressthis letter to you. I am deeply impressed with the vast importance of the public question which is now engaging their atten tion. The events of the last few years need not now be mentioned except in a general way. It is not probable that they will be forgotten by those who witnessed their horrors. The courage of the people during the try ing scenes preceding the last election, and their heroic forbearance under the greatest provocation merit, and will always receive, the highest praise. A grateful country will always highly honor the brave men who were leaders in the struggle for the welfare of the State. Their work was well begun, but is not yet finished. Hon. William Shepard Bryan, of Baltimore Bar. ONWARD. We began the good work in 1-S'J-. ; The sacrifices of that great campaign , were worse than useless if we lay ! down the work unfinished. C. B. I Avcock. NO TURNING BACKWARD NOW. We have put our hands to the plow ! and we will not turn backward. In lS'.is We unfurled the Democratic ban ; uer to the breeze emblazoned with the rallying cry of "White Supremacy." . We volunteered under that banner to the end of the war. We have won the outposts. of the enemy, we have ; driven them back in disorder, ami ; they are making one last desperate stand reforming their broken lines behind the breastworks of preju dice and demagogy. They form in vain. The traditions of North Caro lina Democrats are tilled with glorious achievements; their courage is of the best, their determination is unyield ing, their certainty of victory amounts to inspiration. For peace, for prosperity, for universal educa- tion, for that day when, the race issue is forever settled, we can have ab solutely free ballot ami a fair count for '-the glorious privilege of being independent." for general toleration of honest if mistaken opinions, we renew the contest. Let the banner of 8'.)S be again unfurled. Let it still be inscribed with the motto "White Supremacy." but above that let there also appear as the aim and end of white supremacy good government for all, absolute justice before the law and unquestioned liberty of opinion. C. B. Aycock. Tne Constitutional Amendment, if adopted, will not disfranchise white men. Section Z was framed expressly to prevent that, and preserves to every white yinan, and even to every white boy who will come of age by l'Ji)8, the right to vote whether he can read and write or not. A perma nent record of the names of such per sons is required by the constitution to be kept, so that their right to vote can never be questioned. E. C. Bed ilinrlield. CONSTITUTIONAL. With the light before me, and such investigation as I have been able to give it, I have been led to the conclu sion as a lawyer, looking at it purely from a legal standpoint, that the pro posed amendment (if adopted) would not conflict with the Constitution of the United States, and in this com munication that is the onlv question I have undertaken to consider. How many individual persons of different races may. upon a census being taken, be embraced within this class of voters, is not the question. "Class legislation, discriminating against some and favoring others, is prohibited, but legislation which, in carrying out a public purpose, is limited in its application, if within the sphere of its operation it affects alike all persons similarly situated, is not within the amendment.11 W. A. Guthrie. Shall the negro cease to be a politi cal power to do evil? Those who woulit have the negro eliminated will vote for the amend ment, and those who prefer to stand cheek by jowl with "Cuffee,11 will vote against them and that is all there is to the matter, so far as the people are concerned. The people are not lawyers not skilled in questions of constitutional law. 'They will there fore not pretend to anticipate the courts. But they do know what they want, and in this respect can very in-tellige.-. ilv vote on the proposed changes in our constitution. Tarboro Southerner. An Editor's Life Saved by Chamber lin's Cough Remedy. During the early part of October, 1890, I contracted a bad cold which settled on my lungs and was neglected until I feared that consumption had appeared in an incipient state. I was constantly coughing and try ing to expel something which 1 could not. I became alarmed and after giving the local doctor a trial bought a bottle of Chamber lain's iyoiigh Remedy and the result was im mediate improvement, and after I had used three bottles my lungs were restored to their healthy state. 1.

The Charlotte Observer says Judge Battle was exceedingly severe in his denunciation of cigarette smoking when he held the recent term of the criminal court in that city. It says: He said that no matter where one traveled these days he saw small boys, tots, smoking these miserable cigarettes. "The next generation of our boys," he declared, "will be degenerates," merely through this cause. It is the inhalation of the to bacco that is hurtful. Blowing cigar ette smoke through a handkerchief leaves a stain or mark of nicotine on the handkerchief. Think of this going through the lungs and affect ing the entire system! The cigarette habit ranks with the morphine habit. I know of two young men, aged 17 and 1!) years, who lived in my county and who were killed by cigarettes. They smoked excessively and their dissolution was speedy." On this subject the judge concluded his remarks by stating that it was his duty to request that the law prohibit ing the sale of cigarettes to minors be rigidly enforced.

WANT NEGRO VOTES PURELY AND SIMPLY TO PERPET UATE THEMSELVES IN OFFICE. That is What Actuates Butler and His Associates in Their Fiht Against the Amendment Without the Strength of the Negro Vote They Know They are Without Hope Would Sacrifice Everything Else and Turn the State Over to a Regime Worse Than Reconstruction Times. (Ualeigh Post.) The Populist Executive Commit tee have had their meeting and they propose to fuse with the Republicans and divide the ofliees out among the Republican and Populist leaders. To enable them to do that they rely ou the strength of the negro voters. The negroes are to be their stepping stone to ollice. It was so in the past, they hope it will be so in the future. Therefore Senator Butler and his associates want the negroes to vote and they want more negro voters, not fewer. Certainly then these men oppose any measure that would lessen the number of negro voters. 'They are thus consistent in oppos ing the Constitutional amendment, which, if adopted, will greatly cut dow n the voting strength of the negro race. All this is so plain as to need no discussion. They propose to fuse with the negro party, and certainly they want the negro party to be as strong as possible so as to give them all the support possible. And they abhor any proposition that will tend to deprive them of any negro strength at the polls. Therefore they abhor the proposed Constitutional amendment. If they were as honest as they are consistent, they would say plainly: We oppose the amendment because it will deprive us of negro strength at the polls. Instead of that, however, they pro pose to send out 50,000 copies of But ler's letter to Wilcox, in which But ler argues against the amendment because it does not deprive the town negroes of the right to vote, but only deprives the country negroes of the right of suffrage. 'The boot is exactly on the other leg: their opposition is based on the fact that it deprives any negro of their right to the ballot, and not that its ojHration is too limited. For their purpose, the amendment is too broad; but they complain that it is not broad enough. Again, if they were honest they would say: We depend on the negro vote, and, therefore, must, to curry favor with the negro leaders, advo cate that negroes should hold ollice; but instead of that Butler objects to the amendment because he says itdoes not deprive negroes of the right to hold office. Their acts prove their dishonesty. For they oppose the amendment only to curry favor with the negro, hoping, praying and beg ging negro votes. To this last end has the Populist Executive Committee come! Their descent from the high and lofty re solves which they proclaimed years ago has been marvelous. Then they proclaimed that they proposed to re form abuses and to deal with public matters on a high plane. Now they cast anchor on the negro vote, and all their hopes, aims, objects and pur poses are controlled by their political association with the negro. White men of North Carolina, you see the milk in the coeoanut! To defeat the amendment is the salva tion of the negro party, and the Popu list Executive Committee is to fuse with that partv, merge into it and I . ts become a part of it. Any one now seeing the situation, will know what value to attach to Butler's argument in favor of the negro. t That Butler is a shrewd man is evident from the fact that he has con trived to obtain a seat in the United States Senate. He is shrewd and artful and full of dodges. Now listen to him. He is so artful that he tries to defeat the amend ment by persuading white men to help him. His purpo.se is to favor the negro race, and he seeks to ac complish that by the aid of the white race. The struggle in progress in North Carolina is to establish White Su premacy, and Butler by an artful dodge expects to array whit; men against their race, and in favor of the negro. 'To do this he plays upon their fears, and he has such a poor opinion of them that he thinks he can make them tools to his purpose. We think the white men of North Caro lina will not be entrapped by his arti fices. The struggle in North Carolina is to secure White Supremacy. To that ejid the white Legislature has sub mitted a proposition drawn up by zealous men, bent and determined on White Supremacy, and the only pur- ; pose of this amendment is to establish , White Supremacy. ! Buller and his associates in their : hearts dread this amendment be j cause it will cut off their negro votes, j but they have the audacity to say i that it will also cut off white votes, ' and they cry to alarm white voters by pretending that the amendment ' will take awav their rights. In this they show that they have no reasonable opinion of the intel ligence and good sense of the white men of North Carolina. The amendment contains two lead ing ideas: First, that the qualifica tion for suffrage shall be an educa tional test, ability to read and write. Secand, that this test shall not apply to any person who could vote in 1807. or any time prior thereto, or who is descended from any man who in 18'7, or at any time before that, could vote. As all white men in North Carolina are descended from men who could vote in lS-oT or before that, all white men in North Carolina are exempt from the educational test. Their right to vote is continued j without anv educational test. Thev have got the right now and it' is con tinued. Their right to vote is not denied, or at all interfered with. It remains by the very words of the pro posed amendment unchanged. The suggestion that the Democratic legislature would propose a measure which did not safeguard the rights of all white men is a vile slander. What is the Democratic party? What has it beeu? What has been its history? First, it is composed exclusively of , white men and it has struggled j always for White Supremacy over the negro voters, not only because white men should rule, but because negro rule was au abomination and a ter- ; rible disaster wherever it has been inaugurated. It relies on the white voters ex clusively and it urges them to rally together for theii common benefit. J Is it possible that the Democratic ! leaders would be guilty of the folly of ! offering and proposing a measure that ; could by any possibility deprive the illiterate whites, of whom there are so many in the State, of their power and right to vote? That would be suicidal. That would be to lessen the j voting strength of the party. Is it ' possible that the party would be so foolish as to do that? Certainly not. Who says so? Butler and his asso ciates who are now seeking negro favor, and who concoct this canard only to get the help of white men by playing upon their fears. No. The Democratic party is the friend, of the white man; not his enemy. Indeed, being composed ex clusively of white men, it may be said it is the white man himself And are the white men of North Carolina made of such stuff that they will turn against each other, and take awav the right of suffrage from each other? Certainly not; and vet Butler and his Executive Committee have such a poor opinion of the illiterate whites in North Carolina that they are trying to persuade them to be lieve this monstrous falsehood. But the inherent good sense and intel ligence of the Anglo-Saxon will pre vail and it will be found that our white men are not to be duped like the ignorant negroes have been duped in times past by their artful leaders. I he Democratic party seeks to pro mote the happiness, prosperity and welfare of the white men, especially because they are all whites together: and because in doing so, it best pro motes the welfare of the whole State. The truth is, the color line is a fact. The negro stands by his color: and the whites generally stand by theirs. The white race is lit to govern themsehes. The negro race is not fit to administer government. They are not lit to govern themselves, much less to govern the white race. The struggle in North Carolina is to secure the beneficent, just, intelli gent operation of wise laws ami the domination of the superior race over the ignorance of the black race. Is it not best so? Is it not proper? Let all the whites stand together to secure this result. Mr. Butler's theory, by implication, that those who favor White Man's suffrage and qualified negro suffrage, as provided for by the pending Con stitutional amendment, must be "driven from the State," will not work in the direction he desires. The appeal to the negroes contained in this threat to organize to resist the white- people in their very conserva tive efforts to establish permanent peace between the races and insui good government for all, while indi cating the recklessness of Butler and Butlerism, will fail to move the negroes to a repetition of late ex periences. White citizens, and order-loving colored citizens as well, may under stand that the combination repre sented by those who were, shaken to the surface by the disturbances of 1891-"'JG will "halt at nothing, how ever disastrous to the jieople of either race, socially or politically, to bring about the defeat of the amendment and continue such conditions as Un people wiped out in lH'M. All good people are warned to be on .guard and end forever all jwssibilities of a re currence of such disgrace and disas ter as overwhelmed the State from 1896 to 1899. We had enough during those years for a generation, if no' forever, and the onlv method b which such can be avoided here after is by the adoption of the amend ment. Coi.. W. S. Phaii-os, editor of the Morganlon Ilcrabl, is a candidate for the ollice of State Auditor. While we think it a little early for the nam ing of candidates, we want to put ourselves on record as saying we hope that Col. Pearson will get there. He is an accomplished scholar and gen tleman, a Democrat thoroughly in accord with his party, and is fully competent to till the office with credit to the State. Winston Sentinel.
