They were taken down as he spoke them. Thev were printed in this a jier next morning. Mr. Hutler was then in llalciudi. Neither he nor any ol her member of I lie committee de nied that t he report was correct. This was two weeks a;ni, and the above is. so far as we know, the first denial. And why? Mr. lbitler is bei lining to see the effect his words are having. No doubt the above is what Mr. Hut ler whishes he had said, and it is jiossilile he has since jicrsuaded him self he said it. but he did not. Here is w hat he said : Having entered this lifjht we can not forsake it. We must jo forward. Now even more than then are our liberties threatened. There is one issue and but one and WE Ml'ST FK.HT TILL THAT IS SKTTLKD. Thai issue is whether or not North Carolinians are free men. Let us join hands with all who will helj) us and wijie out such a con spiracy. I am satisfied that those in favor of free. stitTrajre can, by coiubininir rs f their strength in the coming cam paign, redeem the St ate from thelied shirt tiati";. 'The nejjro .juestion I know con fronts us, and it must be settled, but we can't trust the man who has lived on the iiejro for thirty years to settle it. We've ;ot to settle it. We are the folks who at heart want it settled not they. We want it settled so they can no longer use it as a scarecrow.

There are some such jirominent Dem ocrats and I think it jiossible that one or more of them may offer to take a jdace on the ticket." This sjH'ech created indignation throughout the State and the egres sions of stern disaj"proval of the in cendiary utterances were by no means confined to Democrats. Not a few letters have been received at this office from Populists as well as from Dem ocrats, declaring that if Butler still had any followers who jaid attention to this advice, his sjeech would pro voke encounters that might lead to bloodshed. It was a firebrand thrown into a camjiaign that had been in augurated on the part of Democrats by an ajpeal to the reason and the calm judgment of the manhood of the State.

During the early part of October, 1806, 1 contracted a bad cold which settled on my lungs and was neglected until I feared that consumption had appeared in nil incipient state. I was constantly coughing and try ing to expel something which I could not. I became alarmed and after giving the local doctor a trial bought a bottle; of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy and the result was im mediate improvement, and after I had used three bottles my lungs were restored to their healthy state.

The dispatches in yesterday morn ing's Observer told of the effort to absorb into a colossal combination the principal railroads of the North and Northwest. This is but the logi cal outcome of the trust idea. For some time past we have been hearing of the efforts of the Pennsylvania Railroad jieople to get control" of the Chesajicake & Ohio and the Baltimore & Ohio. The Vanderbilt interests are back of the scheme, and the vast fortune of that family, continually multiplying as it is. is being used to make the combine a success. It means the abandonment of the city ticket ollices of all the roads in the syndicate in Chicago, New York, Philadeljdiia, Boston, Buffalo, Balti more, Washington. Pittsburg, Cincin natti, Cleveland, Detroit, Indianajio lis, Peoria and St. Louis, and the substitution of joint offices in each city. It means that 50,000 railroad enijiloyes will be thrown out of work. It is estimated that when the new combination is in good shape with the roads between the Mississippi river and the Atlantic seaboard, the jiromoters of the movemeut will turn their attention to the territory West of Chicago and attempt to bottle up the Chicago-St. Louis-Rocky Moun tain territory in like manner. The combining proceedings may extend ultimately t the Pacific coast, since the interests rejresented control many important trans-Mississippi, Western roads. The South can hardly escape if this enormous, a'i-embracing combine at the North and West is success ful. Already the most strenuous ef forts are being put forth tj stifle comjK'tition ia the South. The un tiring, relentless efforts of Mr. Ryan to jirevent the Seaboard system from consolidating as a comjieting through line to the southern Railway are no doubt an echo of this Western pool. The South is to be congratulated that so far, thanks to just judges, the Ryan schemes have failed. In view of jresei!t developments it becomes a jiatriotic duty of the people of the South to uphold the J. Skelton Wil liams syndicate in its efforts to main tain the Seaboard's independence.

The Settlement of the Race Question Necessary for the Best Interests of the State Better for the Negro and Better for the White Man Hence the Determination of the White People Throughout the State to Carry the Amendment Opinions of Prominent Men on the Subject. There is every reason to believe that but for the seliish schemes and agitation of his white leaders and nia- . . . .1. l . Scuth would be exceedingly friendly, and they would be much more mutually heljdul than they are or have been in the recent past. Caro linian. HEST EVEN KOK THE NEGRO. The elimination of this class of citizens (ignorant negroes) from polities will be a God-send to them. It will loosen the bonds between them and those white leaders who play ujion their ignorance and prej udice to lead them awav from their ! true menus ana against their own highest interests, and it will strength en the bonds between them and the white neighbor ujjou whom they are deendent for industrial and com mercial jirosperity and progress. The colored citizen is on trial, not only before the peojile of the South, j l. .it liafnrn tkn ....1.1 - .. . II! but before the world, not as a politi cal element chiefly, but as an indus trial factor. This comes near to his Jieart and his home. This is the sj)here of his real interest, and what ever disentangles him on the non essential side and gives him larger freedom on the essential side of his life and destiny is for his jiresent and jiermanent good. Nothing in this regard will serve him better than this tenijiorary elimination from jwilitics. His elimination from politics does not mean his elimination from citizen ship, except in regard to the voting function which he is the least cap able of apjireciating and least jire jiared to use for his own benefit and the good of the Slate. All other rights guaranteed to the best of our citizens are vouchsafed to him. Moreover, the provisions of this amendment are not such as to work a permanent or even temporary dis ablement of any class, but only a limitation of the right of franchise for a short period. R. 1). Gilmer. LEGISLATURE. North Carolina's last General As sembly of the nineteenth century will materially affect her welfare during the twentiety century. The Legisla ture will go into our history as an in dustrious, economical, able and con scientious body of men. It had a greater task to perform than any of its predecessors. It re-wrote the laws fioverning the State's institu tions, the public schools, elections, railroads and other corporations. Its work is the platform of the Demo cratic party of 1900. Locke Craig. There was very nearly a unani mous ojdnion among the members of the party in the majority that there were in North Carolina about a hun dred thousand negroes to whom the right to vote had been unwisely given, and that their voting jeopar dized the interests of the State, and that they should no longer be allow ed the unrestricted right of suffrage. E. J. Justice. BEST REPUBLICANS FOR IT. Ordinary Rejublican politicians must ojijiose it, for they want to jre serve their party strength and be sides the unlettered negroes who have often heljied them require their opposition, and they wish to retain the influence of the negroes who will continue to vote. But these con siderations will not control white Republicans who do not aspire to office. Some of these, however, will oppose it for the sake of their politi cal friends, some from prejudice against all things Democratic, and some because they really think that ignorant negroes who will be dis qualified under it, are as cajiable in government affairs as are the unlet tered white men who will vote under it. But many white men in North Carolina homes to-day, hearing the laughter of their children, and lov ingly regardful of their future, while Rejmblicans on other questions arc' Democrats on this. They will, with j the approval of many staunch and able Republican leaders, increase the ! majority bv which the amendment will cafrv'and their posterity .will ! cherish their conduct. W.W.Kitchin. Of course we are in favor of the amendment, but if we were not one of its most earnest champions, we would be disgusted at the action of those negro Republican clubs ui North, who are organizing to send speakers and money to North Caro- lina to work for the defeat of the amendment. Congressman Linnev nijmiaiors me relations oetwecn tne ; desjierate contest to defeat the amend white man and the black man in the i merit's n.lot.tion So iVmr.i. j and Senator Pritchard met with these ; be a vote which cannot possibly help j clubs in Washington City and en-: even the negro for w hich it is cast, j couraged the negroes in their lan. since if he could succeed in defeating : We are sure that this exodus of negro ' the jiurpose of the white men, as ex ! politicians to this State will receive tiressed in this amendment, the race the condemnation of every eace loving citizen of our State, and we deeply regret this intended invasion. Milton Herald. EFFECTS. I When we consider -the probable ef- fects of the proposed amendment 'should it be adopted, our thoughts ! naturally turn to the benefits our jeo ! pie will derive from it. To a large . extent the race question will be eliminated from politics and from , political measures. The political aspects of that question settled there would be no reason why the whites should not practice every kindness towards the colored race, and seek to ameliorate their condition and to provide additional facilities for their imjirovement and advancement. This, I am convinced, the whites will do; and as a result there will be a kind lier feeling bet ween the races than, has ever obtained. S. A. Ashe. A good many jersons have been interviewed on the Constitutional amendment speak very contidently of its being carried by a large majority. That may be all true, but it is well not to be over-contident. It often happens that a feeling of certainty begets lukewarmness, and we warn Democrats to guard against being too sure. It will take work, and hard work at that, to carry the measure t'irough. The liht is not yet fairly ' I II" on, aim tne nepuoueans will wajje a mi-rht as well organize at once for the coming struggle and make their work tell Salisbury Sun. IS CONSTITUTIONAL. Hut there is no necessity of discus sing this nuestion further. Because the decision of the Sujireme Court of the United States in Williams vs. Mississipjii jmts an end to all contro versy. The Constitution of Missis sippi contains a disqualification of th neirroes similar to mat proposed in amendment. The court savs: "Restrained by the Kederal Consti tution from discriminating against the negro race the convention dis criminates against its characteristics, and the offences to which its crimi nal members are prone. But nothing tangible can be deduced from this.' And the Constitution of Mississippi . . . . . ... ' ' . was determined to be valid.- 10 U. S. R., page Hon. Wm. Sheji herd Brvan, of the Baltimore Bar. MUST STAND OR FALL TOGETHER. (J. The Rejmblican politicians say the court will hold the 5th section or the grandfather clause, so-called, of the amendment unconstitutional, and the 4th section, or the educational (jualitieational clause, Constitutional. Is there any truth in this statement? A. Absolutely none whatever. This is altogether the most absurd jiosition the Republican jioliticians have taken against the amendment. Everv tyro in the law knows that when SEVERAL SECTIONS or pro visions of a law constitute PARTS OF ONE GENERAL SCHEME of legisla tion, so that those voting for it, would not likely have voted for ONE PART or SECTION without the other parts or sections, the WHOLE MUST STAND OR FALL TOGETHER. More over, the people are going to vote for ONE AMENDMENT, not for TWO or THREE SEPARATE AMENDMENTS. They are going to vote for the WHOLE AMENDMENT and NOT FOR DE TACHED PARTS OR SECTIONS OK THE AMENDMENT. The courts can not sav to the jeole: "We will MAKE "YOU take HALF OF WHAT YOU HAVE VOTED FOR, but we will NOT LET YOU HAVE THE OTHER HALF, though YOU VOTED FOR IT AS A WHOLE, and though you might NOT HAVE VOTED FOR ONE HALF WITHOUT THE OTHER HALF, IN DEED, WOULD HAVE VOTED DOWN THE HALF WE FORCED UPON YOU. without the HALF WE DF:NY YOU." That would be THE COURT AMEND ING THE CONSTITUTION and NOT THE PEOPLE, and no court has authority to amend the Constitution. So it is too clear for argument that these two sections of the amendment must stand or fall together. 'The rule aprdicable to statutes which I have discussed ajiplies with greater force in the construction of an amendment to the Constitution, because in the case of a statute, if the court mistakes the intention of the Legislature the mistake can be easily correoted by rejealing the jart of the statute left in force, while the means of correcting a mistake in the case of a Constitutional amendment is much more tedious and complicated. The jiower sometimes exercised by the courts to declare a part of a statute void, and to enforce other parts should be carefully guarded, and is not jermissible except when it can be clearly seen that the void jiart does not affect the purjiose of the enactment, and has not influenced the Legislature, because the statute with a jiart of it stricken out by the court is not the act of the Legislature but of the court, and the courts have no jiower to make law. Judge W. R. Allen. AMENDMENT. A vote cast against the amendment will be a VOTE CAST TO CONTINUE THE NEGRO AS A VOTER and if that vote be cast bv a WHITE MAN. IT WILL BE THE MOST DISTINCTIVE VOTE ANY WHITE MAN IN NORTH CAROLINA HAS EVER CAST AGAINST HIS RACE: it will be a dis tinctive vote for THE NEGRO, a distinctive vote against the WHITE MAN: it will be a declaration on his jiart that he thinks the negro is as good as the white man: it will be a protest on his jiart against the white 1 man s having anything that the negro does not have, it will be a vote for the continuance of race trouble and i conflict and clash, and linallv it will question (in the settlement of which he is as much interested as the white man) will still remain unsettled, with the fixed and irrevocable purjoe on the jiart of the whites, as we have said lefore. to settle it, if not in one way then in another, but to settle it and SETTLE IT FOREVER. F. M. Simmons. It must be remembered that the Fifteenth Amendment deals exclusive ly with the subject of dejriving a man of his right to vote on account of his color. It makes no reference i to anowin ome other man to vote j which is quite another thini-. S. A. j Ashe. : J SporUmen will find ammunition of all kinds, at H. Thomason's. BRYAN ON IMPERIALISM ELOQUENT ADDRESS OF THE DEM OCRATIC LEADER At the Jackson Day Banquet in Chi cago on January 6th He Tells the Western Democrats That the Party is Ready for the Campaign of iooo His References to Expansion, Trusts, the Philippine Rebellion and the War in the Transvaal Enthusiasti cally Cheered and Applauded. Democrats from man' States, and from every county and city of Illi nois, celebrated Jackson's Day with a banquet at the Tremont House, Chicago, January 6. Wil liam J. Bryan. Hon. w. j. Bryan. former Gover nor Hogg, of Texas, Governor Benton McMillan, of Tennessee, and other Democrats of national jirominence, addressed the 500 banqueters and spoke of the future of the jiarty of Jefferson and Jackson. Exjiansiou, trusts, the Philippine rebellion, and the war in the Transvaal were most frequently treated on. The utterances regarding the struggle in the Trans vaal were, without excejdion, jro Boer, and they were cheered and aj plauded by the hauqueters, who were entusiastic in the extreme. Trusts were denounced as injurious to the in terests of the common people, and as threatening the foundation of the re jjublic. Mayor Harrison, president of the William J. Bryan League, jn-esided and acted as toastmaster. Mr. Bryan was the last speaker of the evening He said, in jiart: "To-night the members of the club meet upon the camjiaign of 1100 to announce to their party associates throughout the nation that the Demo crats of the chief commercial center of the great West are fully armored for the fight and onlv waiting the con- rs r vention's command. The year 189G showed how the voters of the party can, whenever necessary, overthrow recreant leaders and shajie the party's policy. "The years which have elajised since lS'Jfi show how the voters of the party, when Iheir conscience, their judgment, and their determina tion are once aroused, can resist the foes within and the foes without, and keep the jiarty true to its high mis sion as the rcjiresentative of the strug gling masses in their never-ending contest with the jrivileged classes. The jilutocratic influences which won the last national campaign, and which have rioted in jiower ever since, have not been able to force the surrender of a single jilank or line or syllable of the Chicago platform. "After a three years' burial of the money question by our ojiponents they have recently accentuated its imjiortance by jnesenting a currency bill which would have condemned the Republican party to overwhelm ing defeat if it had been proposed by the President in his letter of accept ance. "The Currency bill fastens to the financial systems of the old world and subjects us to all the disturbances which. affect them while it places the control of the volume of jiajier money in the hands of a bank trust, which will be as merciless to the peojile of this country as Weyler was to the re concentrados. The fight for bimetal lism at the ratio of 16 to 1 has not been lost. The increased jiroduction of gold has shown the advantage of more money and has answered the argument so often made that the parity could not be maintained be cause of the overproduction of silver. The fight against bank-note circula tion will grow stronger as the big banks swallow uj the little ones, and as the jieople learn that a permanent national bank-note circulation, secur ed as at jiresent. necessitates a jier manent and increasing national debt. "I have discussed the trust ques tion in this city so recently that it is only necessary for me to say that the Democratic jarty will meet the issue with a jilain and positive remedy, i The Republican jiarty is unable to en I act and enforce ellicient auti-trust laws. j "The question of imjierialism will I occujty a prominent place in the next i campaign. It matters not whether the war in the Philijpines ends in the near future or continues until elec tion. The peojde must determine the jioliev to be pursued in regard to the Filipinos. That policy must contem plate the ultimate indejiendence of the Filipinos or their jiermanent re tention under American sovereignty. If the islands are to be retained jw r nianently the inhabitants must be given the hojie of full citizenshiji, or thev must be condemned to the lot of subjects. Who desires lo admit them to share and share alike with us in the destiny of this republic? "We cannot adopt a colonial policy without ignoring the doctrine of self government so long cherished in Ibis country, and we cannot ignore this doctrine in dealing with the Filijdnos w ithout endandgering its existence in the United States. Ujion what ground can forcible annexation be defeated? Is it on the theory that the Filipinos are incapable of self-government? Clay, in discussing the revolution which led to establishment of South American rejmblics, declared that self-government is the natural gov ernment, and asserted that those who denv the cajtacity of any people for self-government impeach the wisdom of the Creator. Clav was right. The doctrine that it is the duty of a yower fulnation to cross the ocean and force an allied government upon another race which hajipens to inhabit valu able lands is a doctrine conceived in avarice, born in iniquity and defended alwavs by hypocrisy. "When we enter upon a pololity of emjdre we cease to be a moral factor in the world's progress. Heretofore we have sym jiathized with all jieople struggling for the right to govern themselves, but now, when the Boers are willing to die in defense of their rejiublic, the advocates of an imjierial jKilicy are unable to exjiress sympathy because we are ourselves engaged iu a war of conquest. The ojijMiiients of imjierialism symjiathiza with the Boers not because Englaud is the ag gressor, but because of the American belief in the Declaration of Indejiend ence. "Theclosing years of the eighteenth century witnessed the establishment of a rejiublic dedicated to the doctrine that all men are created equal. Shall it be said thtt the closing years of the nineteenth century witnessed a return to force and to the exjilodcd doctrine that a few rule by divine right? If so, the twentieth century will record the swinging of the jiend ulum back toward brute force and the dark ages." There is Ho lietter medicine fur t lie babies than Chamlierlaiii's Couch Remedy. Its pleasant tate and prompt and effectual cures make it a favorite with mothers and small cdildren. It quickly cures their coughs and colds, preventing pneumonia or other serious consequences. It also cutcs croup and has been used in tens of tin :i sands of cases without a single failure so far as we have been able to learn. It not only cures croup, but when given as soon as the croupy cough appears, will prevent the attack. In cases of whooping cough it touches the mucus, making it easier to expectorate, and lessens the severity and frequency (if the paroxysms of coughing, thus depriving that disease of all dangerous consequences.

Elsewhere is printed an article from the Asheville Citizen, in regard to female education, which is worthy of consideration. This is a jirogressive age but an intensely jiractical one. The idea that all bovs who could go to college must necessarily enter some one of the learned professions has been exjiloded, and boys are being trained in industrial pursuits. Tin y are made mechanics, civil engineers, mill men, farmers, and taught other lines of industry that demand trained men. Why should not the girls be trained to do jirojierly the work that belongs to a woman's sjdiere? It is true that there has been some en deavor to inaugurate female indus trial education in this State and else where, but as yet it is in its infancy. j Many girls have learned to be trained nurses, stenograjihcrs, etc., all of which is very well, but most of them want to be teachers, and music, art and the higher branches are given jircference. How many girls who are jirominent in the so-called seciety of the day, and who exjioct to be mar ried as soon as a good chance offers, know anything about hotise-keejiing? How mauy of them, as the Citiz n rather rudely asks, could broil a beef steak jirojierly or dress in infant with out getting its clothes mixed? 'These are jiractical questions and questions that need attention. Statesvillc Landmark:. The Citizen article is as follows: One curious thing about our "fe male" seminaries, not only in this State but all over the country, is that as a rule the courses contain nothing jiractical for the home unless we count jiiano music and voice culture, and charcoal, crayon and jiastel drawing and jiainting. Y"et in a good many of them we lind tronograjdiy and typewriting, telegraphy, book keejiing, etc. So the question nat urally arises: Are these "female'' seminaries toting fair with the rising generation of girls? Schools for young men are going more and more into procuration for the real business of life. That is as it should be. Now what's the sense in all this talk about "woman's sjihere" and the real work of women unless the girl is taught something at school about the real work she must lo if -she marries, keeps house and rounds out "woman's sphere" with a crop of future citizens? Isn't it true that 90 per cent, of the j piano practice is worse than wasted, j and that fully jx.r cent, of the' charcoal, crayon and pastel and j paints would better remain unused ; in the schools, in so far as they are j of real service to young women? Is j not this esjiecially true when not j more than 25 jer cent, of the young women can make a pot of coffee, broil j a beefsteak TrojerIv, make a good j loaf of bread or dress an infant with out getting the clothes mixed? This is an intensely jiractical age For a jiractical age jiractical women are needed as well as jiractical men. FREE BLOOD CURE. An Offer Proving Faith to Suf ferers.
