AGAIN THE JORDAN TATTER. In the Greensboro correspond? of the Charlotte Observer, of April 3rd, we linl the following paragraph: The Henderson Coi.u Lkak of last week attacks J. I". Jordan for a sjx.'ech he made before the tobacco growers of Forsyth county in Winston, saving h charged the press of the State with having been bribed by the Dukes, of the American Tobacco ,'onipau v. When seen to-day Mr. Jordan dis claimed any intention or desire on bis part to "reflect on the press and said his language had been misunder stood by the Henderson editor, inten tionally or otherwise. Similar state ments previously made at other pub lic meetings have not been regarded by the press as offensive. Mr. Jordan acknowledges many courtesies re ceived at the hands of newspaper men in the light against the tobacco trust. The ;i. i Lkak never "attacks" any one. That is not its style or dis position. It would rather say nice things than harsh ones. It some limes "goes for" a man, as in the case of Mr. .Ionian, but never without sutli cicnt provocation. We mav have misunderstood Mr. Jordan's language, but certainly we did not do so intentionally. Nor do we believe we did so "other wise." A direct charge could not be put in any plainer language than the Winston Journal credits Mr. Jordan with. And he does not deny that he was accu rately ipioted. Put he wjs misun derstood he says and insists that he meant only a bit of pleasantry. In fact, according to Mr. Jordan's idea of humor and eulogy his iemarks were complimentary to the editors rather than detrimental to them. We do not set; it that way and whenever in our opinion the press of the State has been maligned and slandered "the Henderson editor" for one will not hesitate to say so. The mistake Mr. .Ionian makes is in not repudiating the language at tributed to him (if he can) or honestly confess his error and make apology therefor, instead of trviti to shield himself behind the weak and absurd plea of having spoken in lest. So foul ami false a statement as tochargt the editors of tin; Slate with having been bought up by the trust at cheap a price as being wined and dined ami driven around in carriages, is no jesting matter. We regret the situation Mr. Jordan has got himself into. It is not agree able to criticise any one, we much prefer bestowing praise to finding fault, but so grave a charge as Mr .Joruan s could not oc allowed to pass unchallenged. Ok Mr. John I.ec Mahin, president of the Mahin Advertising Company, of Chicago, the Ottumwa (la) Courier recently said this: Mr. Mahin is one of the most suc cessful advertising men in the United States. The publisher of Mc Clare's MiKjazme informed the writer, when in New York in November last, that Mr. Mahin had developed more new advertisers than any other man in the Chicago Held, and that the success at tained by these advertisers under Mr. Mahin's direction had been simplv phenomenal. The (ioi.i Leak takes occasion to .say that Mr. Mahin is not onlv one of the most successful advertising men in the United States, but his firm is also recognized as one of the most correct ami straightforward. Their honest and satisfactory dealing with patrons and the fair and considerate treatment received by the newspapers make for the confidence ami popular it v of the Mahin Company and its sue cess is a natural result. AMENDMENT PLAIN TALK. It is doubtful if all the lengthy labored articles on the amendment are much in the w:iv of effectiveness It rather seems U this journal that the friends of the amendment should blountlv state their position and the rcasous why they favor it and then leave the matter with the people. The amendment is aimed at the negro and no one else. It is franiei so that it will not be in conflict with the Federal Constitution. The negro has for a generation oitenly displave an inveterate political hostility to wards the best interest of the State and the best people in the State. The people of the State have grown tired of it and do not propose to take any more chances of having him in control. The amendment is proposed to relegate him to innocuous uesue tude. An uncompromising statement like this will have more popular effect than all the stilted and learned argu ments. This done let the unequivocal as surances be given that it is the in tention of the Democratic party that not one white man shall be disfran chised except for an imfamous crime At one time there was a qualified suffrage in this State. Manhood suf frage was brought about bv the Deui ocratic party, wnicn stands now where it did theu. Let us hare plain talk, much more will be accomplished, and besides this is the surest way to inspire con huence. larboro southerner. Mil.

No man ha3 advanced three better reasons for the adoption of the pro- iosel Constitutional amendment than has C. H. Mebane, Lso., the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Jn a letter to a menu, wnicn was noi designed to see the light but from which we are permitted to copy, he says: '1 expect to support uie amend ment for three special reasons, that I will mention: First As a great incentive to edu cation for the rising and the future generations. 'Second Because it will remove a great mass of ignorant negro voters who form a dangerous power in lue hands of designing politicians. Third It will force the white peo ple of this State to spend more money for public education, and finally force them to send their children to school, and thus in the end illiteracy will be blotted out in North Carolina." F.ach of these reasons is a good one. 1 lie adoption oi me amend ment will afford such a stimulus to ducation as to remove from North Carolina the reproach under which she deservedly labors, that in propor tion to population she has more il literate whites than any other State in the Union. Its adoption will re move a great mass of ignorant negro voters, who form a dangerous power in t he hands of designing politicians." And these arguments take no knowledge which, to the Observers mind is the greatness of them all. that the adoption of the amendment will set the white folks as well as the niggers free and that we can have some discussion of politics upon their nerits, which we have not been able to have since the Civil ar.

'Tis not an easy task io iukc izuu or loui men, raw, un trained and undisciplined, and mould them in the course of a few months into a perfectly trained and discip lined regiment of fighters! Yet such was the task accomplished by Wm II. S. Burgwvn, and that through ceaseless ami untiring vigilance and energy. Toward each of his subordi nates, noiu omcers and enlisted men, he ever displayed the utmost courtesy and consideration, ami discharged the numerous and irksome duties of hi otlicc faithfully and conscientiously. to the best of his knowledge and abil ity, regardless of what the conse quences to himself might be. Should he be nominated for and elected to the position of State Treas urer he would bring to the office a knowledge of financial matters and ability for discharging its duties, possessed by few men in the State, accumulated through many years' experience in banking and business matters, and I sincerely hope the convention that meets in Haleigh next month will nominate this great and good man for this high position.

A Great White Re-Union -State Primary for United States Senator Certain to be Ordered All for it Now Candidates' Ratification Meeting: Tour Wake Coun ty Convention Numerous News Notes. From Our Regular Correspondent. Ralkigh. N. C. April 10. 1900. About the time these lines appear in print the Democratic State Convention will have assembled in this city. At this writing- all the indications point to one of the largest, most harmonious ind most enthusiastic conventions ever held in North Carolina, and the ticket which it will offer the voters of this State one of the Itest and strongest, from every point of view, that our people have ever chosen to man the old Snip of State. And this latter result is more easily reached this year than usual, for there is not an aspirant for any office to be filled who is not worthy of ttie nomination and who would not admirably discharge its duties, to the credit of himself, his pat ty and his State. A OKEAT ItKMOCKATIC KE-IWION. (Juite a nuiiiljer of leading Democrats of the State have Iteen here for several da vs. some of them with headquarters established at the hotels where they keep often house'" to their friends. And these are not confined to the candidates for positions on the State ticker. either. I here is now going on a great Demo- era tic re-union, and a commingling of the best and bravest and most patriotic men of the f )ld North State. All of them are deeply interested in the HiiecesH ot the sunrage amendment, anil on all sides one can hear the inouiry: '"Whatare the prospects for the amend ment in your county?'" And as often is heard the almost un failing reply: Splendid! Nearly or quite all the white people are for it. and will vote for its adoption almost to a man." Sometimes, but very infrequently, will le heap! the response that there are a few still holding out against it. But it is always added that this is because of erroneous impressions created through false allegations and assertions of some of the office-holding gang, particularly in a few Western counties, where the revenue heelers and other official hire lings have been industriously at work trying to mislead the illitera te white men. But even these will have their eyes opened to the truth before election day. and then their opposition or lethargy will be overcome. EX-HOlM LISTS IX LINE. One of the most encouraging features of the present gathering is the presence of numbers of old-time Democrats, who were fooled and seduced by Hutler and bin crowd into deserting their old al legiance temporarily, but who are now once more safe aboard the old craft again at her original moorings and some of them are now better and stronger Democrats than ever because of their sad and costly and humiliating experience with these non-principled political trick sters. These are the men who are. going to materially assist in rolling up an unpre cedented majority for the ticket and the amendment in August. And we are glad to have most of them back, for most of them were honest in their intentions, even if they were made the tools of designing and self-seeking demagogues for a time, and until they could see through the lat ter's rank hypoericy. WAKE COl'NTY CONVENTION. The Democrats of Wake held a splendid ly represented convention last Saturday. All appeared to be in fine trim and re ported bright prosjiects for the party. Delegates to the State and Congres sional conventions were not instructed, although resolutions were introduced endorsing Aycock and Cunningham for Governor and Lieutenant-Governor. This resolution would have been over whelmingly adopted had a vote been taken. But the committee on resolutions agreed that it would be "policy" not to endorse anyone owingto the candidacies of several other gentlemen, the point raised being that it might "hurt the chances" of one of Wake's candidates. The friends of Col. Cunningham finally acquiesced in the position taken by the committee, with the full knowledge that AycocK and i unmngliani will both re ceive the solid vote of Wake in the State convention, according to instructions given at many of the primaries four days previously. A resolution favoring a State Primary for ( nited States Senator (to be held on the day Congressmen and Presidential electors are voted for) was adopted. After the business of the convention was completed State Chairman Simmons addressed the convention, from the text of 'white Rule." He made an excellent sjieeeli and was frequently applauded.

NfMEUOI S NEWS NOTES. The fourth animal conference of the Epworth League of Christian Workers was held last week, and there was a large attendance of delegates. A number of excellent addresses were made, among them being one by Gen. Julian S. C.in whose subject was 'Laymen and Liberal ity." It was an excellent production and finely delivered. The Raleigh papers of Sunday printed it in full. President Alderman, of the State Uni versity, has lieen elected president of Tulane University, of New Orleans. La The salary is $5,000. Dr. Alderman has not yet indicated his acceptance, and it is earnestly hoped by the friends of the North Carolina University that he will decide to remain where be now is. White Supremacy campaign buttons have liegun to make their npjtenraiice in the State. Chairman Simmons has ar ranged with a firm for the manufacture of large numbers of them. At the Y. M. C. A. convention at Char lotte last Friday W. N. Hendren. of Win ston, was elected president and W. B. Marks, of JF.lon College, secretary. The death of ex-State Treasurer J. M. Worth, at the age of 80 years last week, was recognized here by a display of the flags on the capitol building at half mast. He made one of the lest treasur ers Narth Carolina has ever had. Dr. E. D. Ferreliee, formerly of Cnmden county and of late years of Norfolk, was last week elected second assistant physi cian at the Central Hospital forthelns'ane of Raleigh, to succeed Dr. Davis, resigned. The Itelief is crowing here that Secretary of State Cy. Thompson will Ite the Rep! Pop. nominee for Governor, if he will ac cept the empty honor. As to that, he refuses to speak at present. Citizens of Raleigh contribute $10,000 towards paying off the indebtedness of St. Mary's College here, the trustees of which have bought, largely on time, the beautiful property used by the College for more than half a century. Re v.' A. A. THE HENDERSON GOLD LEAF Prudeii. of this Episcopal Diocese, has been appointed arrent to raise the funds (about :f3.",00O yet to be raised.

There is a small exodus of negro cooks from Raleigh. Charlotte and other South ern towns, to the North. Yankee agents are here offering them $15 per month and transportation to New York. The bait has caught quite a numlter. They can 1' spared especially the sorry ones, which form the majority but experience proves that most of the negroes who have gone North have been anxious to return South, and many have done so at the first ot portunity.

The State Fair authorities will this year pay 2.500 in purses for "trials of speed." horse racing. This is more than usual. The new report of the Labor Commis sioner will show that there are now 2'JO newspafters published in North Carolina. Over 200 of these are Democratic week lies, which is an average of moit-than two Democratic pa iters to each county. No wonder the opposition find it impos sible to carry far or for long the old ship of State from her Democratic moorings. The newspapers of this State, and par ticularly those known as the country press," are the backbone of the Demo cratic party of North Carolina, and without their hearty and active work the so-called party "leaders"' and the, pro fessional politicians could accomplish nothing. But t-he editors ami newspaper men do not always receive just credit, ven for their work from some of them. And we all know it is nttle else that we ver succeed in capturing. It s not right ! The Raleigh postoflice now becomes a first-class office," the only one in the State, the receipts exceeding 40.000 per uinum. Wilmington laid claim to this distinction some time, but it was later shown that the postmaster acted illegally (to use no stronger term) in bringing tne receipts uit to the required amount, a record which was not kept up. At the exceptional time this letter is being written, just on the eve of the nom ination of the Democratic State ticket, it is both difficult aud impolitic to be en- aging in "predictions. " and I will cut this letter short without indulging m that sort of thing. Next week we will have a great deal to talk about. LLhWAA.M. Kini Words for Henderson. Our jrrtod friend dipt. J. B.

It is bad enough to hold Governor Tyler responsible for the unpopular acts of the last Legislature, without placing upon him the odium of the neglect of any county ollicers to per form their duties. It seems wholly unnecessary to go beyond the citizens of Greensville county to find an object of blame for the Emporia Ij nching. There are very few men who would have acted differently from Governor Tyler under the same circumstances. Post mortem criticisms are based upon known results, and generally show a lack of consideration fur the circumstances which influenced form er action. What actually resulted is bad enough what might have hap pened had the military not been in creased or removed, would probably have been much worse. If the Gov ernor made any mistake, it was in not sending a military force to Em poria sufficiently large .to have over awed the mob and given more back bone to the officers of the law.
