WHITE SUPREMACY IN SOUTH CARO
LINA. Elimination of the Negro From Poli
tics a Blessing to Both Races.
(rittsln Keconl.)
Mr. .lames W. Kay, of thid county,
in on! r to vote intelligently on the
proposed amendment, wrote, to Mr.
I. It. Hayes, now of South Carolina
hut a former citi.en of this county,
asking him for information about
nejrro su (Tragi in that State and
whether or not the illiterate whites
are allowed to vote. Last week Mr.
ltay received tin: following answer to
his letter, which entirely satisfied him
and ought to satisfy' every white
man:
Kkk.miaw, S. ('., June J, lo0.
RIu. Jamks W. Ua v,
I'ittshoro, X. C.
Ihur Sir: Your letter received some
days ago and should have been an
swered sooner but I delayed doing
so until I could see a copy of your
proposed Constitutional amendment.
This I now have and lind no material
difference in our South Carolina law
and your proposed amendment. I
have iriven the (ueslion of the work
ing of the Constitutional provision of
this State, so far as the same applies
to the educational qualification, con
siderable thought and have made
enquiries about the same. The peo
ple of this State are well pleased with
the results and there has not been a
single instance where a white man
was prevented from voting.
The law is so constituted that it is
not necessary to disfranchise white
men. Your proposed Constitutional
amendment is very similar to our
present lection law, as I stated in
the beginning, and I cannot see why
it would not work as well in North
Carolina as here.
The effect here is only to insure
White Supremacy, and it does it to a
perfection. Had we not this law God
only knows what condition of affairs
would be prevailing in South Carolina
to-day.
Xo" white man is prevented from
coining to the polls and casting his
suffrage and the negro cares nothing
about it.
This is a White Man's country and
they arc going to rule it right that
they should and this is the best way
to do it saves blood-shed.
I honestly believe an opportunity
for doing a great good, not only for
the present generation but for the
generations to follow, lias, or will
soon, present itself and my honest
ami candid advice to all my friends is
to support and work for the amend
ment.
If I can inform vou on any other
lines relative to the matter in (pies
tion. let me hear from you.
With kind regards to all my old
friends, I am.
Yours truly,
I. It. 1IAYKS.
In this campaign, the Hlack-and
Tan party is imitating the Mormon
missionaries. While they have two
or three candidates who thunder
along through the State speaking to
a handful of negroes and a few white
folks, that style of campaigning is
merely a bund. As a matter of fact,
their real campaigning is being con
ducted on lines they have copied from
the Mormon missionaries, and it is
being done by a systematic house to
house canvass by paid men who go
only to see those who are supposed
to be sufficiently ignorant and gulli
ble to swallow their fairy tales and
misrepresentations. They do not go
to meu of education or men of lofty
character in town or country. They
know these men will see through their
charlatanry ami expose their decep
tions, therefore they go to men who
do not take papers and are not skilled
in detecting deceptions, and tell them
that if the amendment is adopted, the
unlettered white men will not be per
mitted to vote hereafter. Raleigh

It is Bound to Come in Every South

(Greenville, (S. C.,) News )
North Caroliua is now trvinr- to
Jo
what South Carolina did in 1890; that
is. to get a clause into the State co
ti
stitution that will disfranchise
the
great mass of negro voters while sav
mg ine iraucmse to an w hites.
It was an easy task in South Car
olina, because the whites in this Stati
are practically all in the Democratic
party, and thev were confident, there
fore, that their political rights would

sometime in every Southern State
where it has not come already. The
whole country tacitly recognizes the
necessity oi some means of securing
white supremacy. Even those North
ern sections that not manv vears ao

regaruea the negro as peculiarly the
waruoithe natiou and his ne-ht to
vote one of the most sacred rio-hts
guaranteed by the Federal constitu

approval.
Lots of people are found out when

The official records show 98,789 ne
gro votes in the State. The largest
negro vote is in Wake, 4, vnj. i ne
smallest in Graham, G.
With honest elections the nesro can
control thirteen counties, and with a
desertion of 150 white men from the
white race thev can control twelve
more counties. There are at least ten
more in danger of negro domination
with a division of the white vote.
This makes thirtv-three counties in
the State sadly in need of the amend
ment. We irive the above facts without
comment, and ask the reader to con
sider them and vote accordingly.
Can't See How True Men Can be
Against the Amendment.
Mr. J. A. Beal, of Red Oak, Nash
county, who is a prominent Popu
list, writes the following letter to the
Nashville Graphic:
"Will you be kind enough to allow
me space in your w-idely read paper
to refute a charge against me. It is
currently reported that I am going
to fail to be true to my race in the
great battle for the liberties of the
white people on the first Ihursday in
August, 1900. It is not true that I
am going to vote against the amend
ment, but I am going to vote for it
and work for it until the sun goes
down on the day of election, and I
believe when the sun rises next morn
ing it will rise on a freed white peo
ple from negro rule in North Carolina.
"1 cannot see for my life how anv
true white man, who has the protec
tion of his county and State at heart,
whether he can read and write or not,
can vote against the amendment.
"lours for reform through the
amendment, J. A. BEAL."
Don't expect the speakers to carry
the election. There is personal work
for every man to do and but a few
weeks remain to do it in. If a man
in your neighborhood is not clear on
the amendment, go to him and help
him to understand it. the enemies
of the amendment are at work, and
no man who wants white supremacy
can afford to be less diligent. Good
government is at stake; your homes
are endangered; Butlerism threatens
your community. These dangers
should stir every man to activity.
louisburg limes.
The question of prime importance
in the State election to be held in
August is the adoption of the amend
ment. Upon its adoption depends the
vote of the white men. If there are
enough white men in North Carolina
who believe themselves no better than
negroes and vote against this meas
ure the good name of a grand old
State, whose history and traditions
since its foundation have been of
brave men, will be lowered. A stigma
will have been put upon it, the stain
of which cannot be effaced. We can't
believe there are many white men in
North Carolina who have no State
pride. Kinston Free rrcss.
How can any unprejudiced white
man think that North Carolina can
be governed better with the votes
of
ignorant negroes than without them
now can any unprejudiced whi
te
man tninK it right and fair that
a
small minority of white men shoul
outvote and control the great majori
itv
of the white people by combinin
with the solid mass of nporrnps
And yet this is just what the oppon
ents of the amendment are trying to
do. And to prevent this is the reason
why the great bulk of the white men
of North Carolina ad voeate the amend
ment. Pittsboro Record.

pose. The total annual pack of the
eutire country now averages nearly
5,o00,0(0 eases of 24 cans each, and the
area rctjuirert to supply the canneries
is estimated to exceed UOO.uOO acres.
According to Professor F. William
Bane of New Hampshire, although
factories are increasing, nevertheless
the prices for canned tomatoes are
higher at present than for a number of
years. The catchup making industry
Is continually increasing, and yet the
demand equals the supply. Even green
fruit is in fair demand in the fall of
the year. Professor Kane has recently
reported some tests of the newer intro
ductions as well as of others of early
maturing quality.
Among the varieties illustrated Pro
fessor Kane commends in somewhat
special manner:
.7.). Matchless. Fine, large, round,
smooth, red fruit. Vines large, spread
ing and well Idled. Very desirable for
market.
C(J. Improved Trophy. " Fine, large,
rouud, deep red variety. Strong plants,
regular in shape. A very desirable va
riety for market.
08. Dwarf Golden Champion: Strong,
erect plants, well laden with smooth
fruit. Medium size fruit, very regular
and tine. Color yellow. A desirable
yellow variety.
71. Best of All. Growth of vines
very rank. Leaves medium to large;
foliage dense. Fruit medium to large,
round in shape. Color deep red. A
very good tomato.
Improvement of Cotton.
The history of sea island cotton is
extremely interesting, as it serves as
an example of the possibility of adapt
ing a tropical plant to the conditions of
culture in temperate regions. About
1785 seeds of this cotton were brought
to Georgia from the Bahamas. Not
withstanding the good care they re
ceived and the mild winter the plants
were killed down, but they came up
again from the roots and with this
start succeeded in ripening a few seeds
before the first frost in the fall. The
earliest of these seeds were sown in
turn, and by continuing this process of
selection the flowering period became
earlier and earlier until now the plants
ripen a large proportion of their seeds
before frost even along the coasts of
the Carolinas. Besides striving to ob
tain earlier maturing sorts very care
ful selection has for ye-us been made
with a view of increasing the length,
fineness and strength of the staple.
This selection is regularly practiced by
all intelligent growers, and today it
may be regarded as one of the neces
sary cultural methods. Every year a
special patch of cotton is grown from
selected seed, the plants in this patch
are examined very carefully and the
seed of the best individuals retained
for planting a similar patch the next
year, the seed of the remaining plants
being used to plant the general crop.
Under such continuous and vigorous
selection the length and fineness of the
fiber have gradually increased, until it
Is now recognized as superior to that
grown anywhere else in the world and
commands the highest price iu the
market.

FLORIDA TOBACCOS
Ctthitn Filler and Sumatra Wrap-pet
Drlnie High Prlce.
"The Florida grown Cuban tobacco
which is just coming into prominence
is regarded by some manufacturers as
greatly superior to the Zimmer Span
ish, being nearer to the imported Ha
vana in appearance and quality and
selling at a much higher price than
Zimmer Spanish." So say Messrs.
Whitney and Floyd in an account of
the growth of the tobacco Industry, in
which occurs the following:
There are two types of tobacco grown
In Florida, one from seed originally
Imported from the island of Cuba, the
other from seed from the island of Su
matra. The Cuban seed has retained
the characteristic size and appearance
after being planted for seven consecu
tive crops, but the Sumatra seed after
two or three seasons begins to assume
the character of the Cuban plant. For
this reason it is customary, in order to
preserve the desired Sumatra charac
teristics, to save enough seed from the
first or second crop to last for eight or
ten years and to plant each succeeding
crop during this period from this seed.
The Florida grown Cuban tobacco is
used especially for filler purposes. Al
though good wrappers are sometimes
obtained which closely resemble the
best imported Cuban wrappers, there
is a prejudice against these owing to
the fact that they have considerable
body, thus requiring more pounds te
wrap a thousand cigars.
Tho Florida grown Cuban filler close
ly resembles the imported Cuban leaf
in size, shape and general appearance.
It has good body and aroma, although
the specific aromatic quality and flavor
of the best Cuban tobacco have not yet
been obtained. This tobacco has taken
well with the domestic trade, as is evi
denced by the fact that it brings the
highest price of any domestic filler
leaf, a good packing of clean, sound
leaves selling for 40 cents per pound.
The Florida grown Cuban wrapper,
although constituting a very small pro
portion of the crop, brings from 73
cents to 1.50 per pound.
The Florida grown wrapper is essen
tially a wrapper leaf that has been
highly developed during the past few
yjars. While the first crops gave in
most cases only about 20 per cent of
wrappers, ilie proportion has now been
increased to 7o and 80 per cent under
the most careful methods of cultiva
tion. This crop is so valuable that the
land is now shaded with cheesecloth
placed on wood frames nine feet high,
and irrigation is used in addition by
some of the larger planters with most
gratifying success.
The Florida grown Sumatra closely
resembles the imported leaf in size,
shape, texture, grain and general ap
pearance. It is extremely thin and
very 'elastic. The most desirable sizes
are 14, 10 and IS inches. The best
crops will average about 200 leaves to
the pound. Two pounds will cover
1,000 cigars. This makes it a cheap
wrapper for the manufacturer, even at
the high price of $l.r0 to i?2 per pound.
Choice selections have sold by the bale
as high as $o and $4 per pound, al
though the proportion of these very high
grades is yet very small, requiring
infinite care and great expense in sort
ing. This tobacco is all primed that
is, each leaf is picked when ripe, and
great care is exercised iu fermenting,
grading and assorting.
Support For Tomntoea.
Tomatoes need a beuchlike support,
so that the vines can spread out to the

shown in the cut from Tho Farm Jour
nal. A low, Avoodeu support like that
shown is placed at intervals of eight
feet along the row, and across the top
is stretched two strips of 12 inch wire
poultry netting, leaving space between
for plants to grow up through.
Honey Packagfi,
Where extracted honey can be sold
to consumers in GO pound lots not at
fancy prices a wooden pail answers our
purpose quite well. Enough of second
hand candy pails may be picked up
during the summer at our different
grocery stores to store several tons of
honey. Their cost is only 10 cents, and
they need but little cleaning.
I have used regular butter tubs for
the same purpose. The wooden pail I
would not till until the honey is about
ready to granulate. As soon as it is
solid the covers may lie nailed on and
tho net weight marked on each of the
packages, when they will be ready to
ship, says F. Greiner in American Bee
Journal.
