A Strong Man Every Way, Clean, Conservative, Able and Experienced His Public Life and Party Services Briefly Reviewed His Nomination Adds Strength to the Ticket A (irand-Son of North Carolina. (Washington Times.) Adlai K. .Stevenson was born in Christian county, Ky., on October 23, 18.jij. He is the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Stevenson, his forefathers having been distinguished in the early history of the I'.lue Grass State and Virginia. The branch to which Mr. StcvetiBon belongs came originally from North Carolina. The early education of the man who has twice been selected as a vice presidential candidate by the Demo cratic party began when he was about five years of age, under Dr. T. F. Wor rell, in one of the schools of his na tive county. Young Stevenson was later on sent to college at Danville. Among his classmates were Senator elect lilackbiirn, of Kentucky ; ex-Senator Davidson, of Florida, and ex-Governor McCreery. It is said by his con temporaries that Adlai Stevenson al ways exhibited a great interest in his tory, and was fond of studying the political affairs of the world, and es pecially those of his own country, lie was an apt and a popular student. In 185'2 the Stevenson family re moved from Kentucky to Illinois, and settled at lloomington, where the eldest son entered the Illinois Wesley an University. When 21 years of age he went to Centre College, in bi3 native State, returning home, how ever, in 1857, on the death of his father. He then resolved to enter upon the studv of law, and soon there after began readino- in the oflice of Williams & Packard, afterwards Wil liams & Burr. In 1858, when Adlai Stevenson was in his 23rd year he was admitted to the bar, beginning prac-1 tice in Metamora, Woodford county, 111., where he remained for ten years, holding oflice as prosecuting attorney twice during the decade. From 1801 to 1JSG5, he held the position of master of chancery under the appoint ment of the circuit judge. During his career at Metamora Mr. Steven son gained a reputation as a keen and learned lawyer. In 18G8 he again took up legal work in the lirm of Stevenson & Evving, carried on an ex tensive practice in the State and Fed eral courts. An interesting fact at this time is that the citizens of the twenty-third judicial district become so favorably impressed with Mr. Stevenson during his residence at Metamora that in 1864, he was named as the presidential elector for the dis trict. In 18G7, shortly before commencing his law practice in Iiloomington, Mr. Stevenson married Miss Letitia Green, the daughter of Dr. William Green, his former instructor at Centre Col lege, Danville. A son and three daughters were born to them. Mr. Stevenson has always been a sturdy Democrat. His political career may be said to have commenced when he was chosen as a presidential elec tor in 1861. During the presidential campaign he spoke in . behalf of Gen eral McClellan in every county of the State of Illinois. In 1874, in a district considered to be reliably Republican by about 3,000 majority, Mr. Stevenson was nomi nated for Congress, and defeated Gen eral John McNulty, the Republican nominee, by 1,285 majority. In 1876 his party renominated him for Con gress, but this campaign went against him. Again in 1878 his name was placed on the ticket, and for the second time he gained a signal vic tory, the majority in his favor reach ing 2,000. The district represented by him gave Hayes a plurality of 2, 000 in 1886, and Garfield a like plu rality in 1880. In the congressional contest of 1880, as to that of 1876 both being presi dential years, when party lines were closely drawn Mr. Stevenson lost his seat in the House of Representa tives by a little more than 200 votes. In 1862 he came within 350 votes of a victory. This was his last condidacy for Congress. In 1881 Mr. Stevenson was sent as a delegate to the national convention. On Grover Cleveland's election to the presidency Mr. Stevenson was ap pointed First Assistant Postmaster General- lie made an enviable re cord in discharging the onerous du ties of this responsible position." At the end of this service he returned with his family to Rloomington. He did not resume his active part in the affairs of the firm of Stevenson & Ewing. of which he was a member, but was away from the citv a great deal, especially on business connected with the World's Fair at Chicago. In the interest of the exposition he traveled through the whole South, and also made a number of journeys on diplomatic missions to Mexico and other distant points. In June 23rd, 1892, Mr. Stevenson was placed in nomination at Chicago as a running mate for Grover Cleve land, and the ticket was successful. After his four vears in Washington he asrain returned to Bloomington, where he has since led a quiet life, devoting himself to the many industrial inter ests with which he is identified in the State of Illinois Life's harvest is best when the ground is rocky Let every Democrat see to it that his name is entered on the registra tion hnnk before the 21st Saturday of this week and that his white neighbor is registered also.

The Baltimore Sun observes that one of the most striking features at tending the recent opening of the system, was the cordiality of the wel come extended to the promoters and the makers of the Greater Seaboard Air Line in the States through which it runs. "The people everywhere," continues our contemporary, "seemed to feel a degree of personal interest and pride in the great success of this brilliant industrial achievement which surprised even many of its pro moters. It was said in one of the public utterances that it was 'in trenched in the affections of the peo ple.1 It really seemed to be so in fact, and deservedly so, for it was universally the testimony that the builders of the system seemed to con sider it a matter of first importance to consult popular interests and ac commodate themselves to the public needs. The business policy steadily pursued has been to make friends with all classes by the exercise of liberality." And thus: "Carrying with them such purposes, the agents of the Seaboard Air Line are nowhere regarded as the agents of a soulless corporation, but as friends, guides and instructors. The road has found the touchstoue to bring about pros perity and to live well while aiding others to live." There' is a striking lesson in this the subject affords food for thought. So soon after Mr. St. John took charge of the Seaboard, as general manager, as the man and his methods began to be understood, the employes of the system and the people living along it began to warm to it. Terms of amity were speedily established between it and all having to do with it. It was not regarded as an enemy, but a friend; and this because the principle of fair dealing was domi nant in its management. It has car ried this principle further than mere fairness; it has been broad and liberal in its dealings, and has thus made friends on every hand. This policy promises to be not only maintained but extended under the wise and able presidency of Mr. John Skelton Wil- iams. A man of affairs, with a large view of human nature, he has in augurated the Greater Seaboard on a broad basis, and it is a winner from the start. Charlotte Observer. WHY ATLANTA GROWS. Her People Believe in Her and Support Her Newspapers and Other Enter prises. The Irwinton Bulletin, referring to Atlanta, declares that "Atlanta un doubtedly has two of the leading and best daily newspapers in the South. The natural result of this is, that At- anta is one of the most solid, fast growing cities in the country. Good papers never fail to make alive town and Atlanta owes much to the Consti tution and Journal.'1'' The story of progress in Atlanta has been one of reciprocity. While the newspapers have done their full duty in keeping up with the enterprise of the city, they have been aided ty a generous recognition of the place they tilled in the public weal. The people cf this city have always been support ers of newspaper enterprise, and with very rare exceptions our merchants and business men have looked to the newspapers as their principal aids in reaching the public. Whenever a community studies out the progress of Atlanta, and feels the necessity of making a comparison against itself, it should ask the ques tion as to whether it has properly rec ognized the home paper. If the organ which represents such city to the out side world is limited by support, the fact reflects upon the community, and it cannot expect to hold a front rank. Atlanta understands the point, and acts upon it. If other cities would do the same, thev would be sure to take on a new lease of life. Atlanta Con stitution. CONCERNING ILLITERACY. Every Boy Can and Should Learn to Read and Write. We have been told that some men illiterate themselves, were much con cerned over the possibility of the dis franchisement of their sons after 1SJO8 who may not be able to read and write at that time. We are glad they are concerned. It is one of the best signs of the times. A man who is "concerned" now about what mav happen to his son eight vears hence should the lat ter not be able to read and write will be "concerned" enough during those eight years to see that he learns to read and write. It is to those who are not concern ed whose sons have most to dread There is not a bov in the State, of either race, who cannot learn to read and write in eight years, even were he not more than six ' ears old to day; and should have no more than two months opportunity per year lor the eight years. There may be some white fathers who would undertake to prevent them from being taught, but this number is verv small, surely But grant there are some such. must all the remainder of the popu lation of the races continue to sub mit to the conditions from which the white people are trying to escape per manently because of a few men who will not permit their sons to avail themselves of the opportunity to be taught which the people provide? Raleigh Post. Scores of honest, conscientious Populists and Republicans have come out squarely for tne amendment since the recent meeting of tho Legislature made it plain that no white man will be disfranchised under its provisions.

What the Adoption of the Constitu tional Amendment leans to the Women and Children of North Carolina-Will Any Man Calling Himself White Pove Recreant to His Duty in the Present Crisis? ( Written for the Gold L?af.) It is hard to keep "calm and serene" while we ar tryino- to brini; dear old North Carolina from ht-r disgrace and shame, back to her former glory, to hear men say. I am a Domocrat. but this amend ment is (join'j to send all of our labor away. It will be a proud day for Marion But ler, (may the Lord reward him accord ing to his works) and a few more miser able Binners that have a white face, and principles that delight the Prince of darkness, when they can convince the un learned white man, that he will never vote again if the amendment is carried; and thnt the general public will etarve to death from the stampede of the laboring class to a more favored locality. They know as well as we do that the negro has followed the Republican party to starvation, and beggary;and are only leaving in self defense; and they will be back a long timesoouer than we want to see them, unless they will be satisfied to keep their proper place. But any false hood that satan can devise may have some influence in keeping the hands of those contemptible reprobates in the public treasury. If they could for one moment raise the veil of the future, and see the woe that is coming on them they would call for rocks and mountain to fall on thorn to hide them from the fiery in dignations of an outraged public. Every one that is at all versed in mat ters political, knows that the framers of the amendment intended no opression to the colored race; but only intended to protect 1 hem, as well as ourselves, from their ignorance to prevent them from being a vehicle to carry unprencipled men into office, that should only be tilled by men of unblemished bono . Tin true, that any man tl at sells his vote, as the negro almost ivLfiably does, stands perjured before men, and angels; and should be debarred from repeating the offense; but knowing as we did, that the poor ignorant creature that-had no more business with a vote than an infant has with a razor could not possibly know the enormity of his crime, we have allowed our honor to bo trampled in the dust till forbearance ceases to bea virtue; and we propose to put an end to all this miserable misrule, that we have been groaning under for more than a score of years. the handwriting of retribution is on the wall. North Carolina will be freed from the shackles of infamy and woe be unto the one that seeks to prevent it. One cau but look with contemptuous amusement at the howling protest raised by Butler and Pritchard against '"dis franchising free citizens." With what unparallelled honor they note the uncon stitutionality of the act. The injustice the monstrous wrong that is going to be perpetrated! ihey seem to overlook the fact that every honorable gentleman in North Carolina the men that made her the grand State she was before she was ruled by scalawags and traitors the grand children of our Revolutionary heroes- have been virtually disfranchised for the largest part of thirty-five years; and we fail to see how the aforesaid gentry can stand up before an enlightened pub lic and mention "Constitution." We have no quarrel against the negro, don't even blame him for wanting a seat in our legislative halls, and other places with a fat salary. We don't blame a child for wanting to play with Are, but we don t let him do it all the same. If the colored race wishes to rise in the world, let them turn their attention to social problems not political. Let them teach their children that society has claims on every human being whether he be white, or red or black or yellow, and no decent person has any respect for one that ignores them; and when ever we nnd a colored household whose head will not allow liars, thieves, jailbirds, and fallen women to be received as honored guests in his house, then we may be able to see in the far future, a time when they may reach their much desired posi tion inj society a fitness to associate with any body.

If any negro believes he has better friends than the white men in the South, let him go and find them. We will bid him God speed, and keep the place for him till hereturnsfrom his fruitless quest. If he wants to go to stay, we will wave him a glad farewell, and import some laborers that can work without being watched. The uneducated man may rest assured that the framers of the amendment took every precaution to save the vote of every white man; aud no educated white Democrat would vote for a measure that would disfranchise an old soldier or the descendant of one. That those two agents of satan who are misrepresenting us at Washington, say that some white men will be disfran chised, is proof positive that all white men will vote tho' they be ignorant as a Hottentot. Those two sinners don't know the truth from a "yaller dog." Now-, to the people of North Carolina, especially the ladies. I would say, the amendment is going to be carried, but that is not the end. We have a fearful conflict before us. The Prince of dark ness and the money power backed by n few jackals in our midst, are arrayed against us are seeking to make slaves of free born Americans. Our "Joshua" by whom we expect to bo led from worse than Egyptian bondage, can never be successful unless each one nhould stand to his arms and his whole duty. We have no time to notice the yelp ings of a few mongrel curs who seek to take our attention from the coming struggle. So long as we have the spot less banner ''For God and tho Right" waving over u, we know that our great Captain can as easily crush this whole iniquitous administration as one could crush a bubble on the wave. If there is a single motive in tho heart of the people's favorite William .J. Bryan that is not right in the sight of God, let ten thousand prayers besiege a throne of grace that it may be removed. If there is a single "Achan" in the camp that would hinder our success, by hiscovetous ness let us show him' no quarter, we should determine that we will harbor noting on which the blessings of God can not rest. Let us not forget that we have not a moment to lose in swapping billings gate with our enemies; such filthy weapons are only fit for them. Let us cultivate patience, and forbear ance, aud a firmness like unto the rock of Gibralter. "To your tents ohl Israel."

Senator HilFs Speech SECONDING THE NOMINATION OF STEVEN SON FOR VICE-PRESIDENT. The Great New Yorker Thrills the Convention by His Eloquent Tribute to the Man From Illinois Pledges His Cordial Support of the Ticket and Predicts Triumph at the Polls Next November. Foilowing is the speech of Hon. David Bennett Hill who seconded Stevenson 's nomination on the part of New York: Mr. President ami Gentlemen of the Convention: In behalf of the Democratic masses of the State of New York, for whom I assume to speak on this occasion, I second the nomination which has been made from the State of Nebraska. William J. Bryan does not belong to the State of Nebraska alone. He belongs to the North and the South, to the East and the West; he belongs to the whole country at large. it is a nomination already made in the hearts and affections of the Amer ican people. l rom the closing of the polls four years ago until this very hour there was never a possibility of any other nomination being made. He is a gentleman mat neeas no lntrouuction to this audience or to the American people. Nebraska is proud of him, but New York is proud of him also. Four years he has upheld the banner of Democracy in almost every State in the Union. His voice has been heard, not only in behalf of our principles. but in behalf of the cause of the com mon people, in behalf of the working men, in behalf of humanity. lie is strong, strong with the masses, strong with the artisan, strong with the farmers, stronger even than his own cause. His integ rity has never been questioned dur ing all the time that he has been under the gaze of the American peo ple. His statesmanship has been ex hibited in the halls of Congress; no others have served during such a brief period that made such an im pression upon the minds and hearts and conscience of the American peo ple. Ihc cause which he represents is peculiarly the cause of the people. His election will mean honesty and integrity in public office; it will mean the amelioration of the people; it will mean the destruction of criminal trusts and monopolies; it will mean economy and retrenchment in govern ment affairs; it will mean the suprem acy in the Constitution everywhere throughout this land wherever the flag floats; it will mean a return to the advocacy of the principles of the Declaration of Independence; it will prove a blessing not only to those who vote for him, but to the few who may vote against him. I, as you well know, was one of those who in good faith doubted the wisdom of some portions of the plat form; doubted the propriety of going into details on certain portions of our hnancial policy, but the wisdom of this convention has determined other wise, and I acquiesce cheerfully in the decision. I am here to say further that the platform that has been read is worthy of the vote and approval of every man who claims to be a Democrat in this country. Those who do not admire some portions can speak of others. If there are some issues which they do not desire to present as strong as some others, they can at least talk about something in this platform that is worthy of their approval. A word more. Ihis is the time for unity and not for division. I plead to-night for party harmony and for parly success. I plead because of the mgers which confront us. As sure as election day comes, and if we should happen to be defeated which I do not believe we will if it should occur, what will follow? It means the restoration of a Federal election law; it means a reduction of apportion ment of members of Congress throughout the Southern States of our Union; it means a consequent reduc tion in the electoral college from our Southern States: and the plea of necessity will be made because it will be apparent by election day that some of the new born States of the West, which they had relied upon, have gone over to the Democratic party. So I am here to say that this is a most important election important for our party; important for our coun try; important for the best interests of our people. I have no time to analyze the platform; we are speaking of men and not of measures now. This nomination will meet the ap proval, based upon this platform, of the people of the East. What we need is an old-fashioned, rousing Democratic victory through out this land. That will mean a res toration of the currency .of our fathers; that will mean home rule for the States; that will mean popular government restored; that will mean the supremacy o" equal laws through out the country; and in this great re sult which we hope to achieve I am here to say simply in conclusion, that New York expects to join with you with her thirty-six electoral votes. So long as children of tender years are allowed to work in the cottoa mills of the South, just so long will they be compelled to work for the support of worthless fathers. There may be several solutions of this mat ter, but we believe that the best would be to take the children from the factories and compel the parents to support them. To put a child in a factory at ten or twelve years of age is to rob him of all the pleasures of childhood and half the joys of life, and make him an old man before his time. Durham Herald.

AYCOCK AND THE EDUCA TIONAL CAMPAIQN. Would Have Every Boy and Girl Edu cated andQiven a Fair Chance in the Race of Life. The Democratic candidrvte for Gov ernor, Mr. Aycock, has set an excel lent example to all candidates in his advocacy of more and better educa tion for North Carolina. It is a wise step and good will come of it. Mr. Aycock is not narrow and insular and hide-bound. He favors a school system that embraces all, from the lowest to the highest from the pri maries to the culminating university. The educational movement in North Carolina begun between 1840 and 1850. Dr. S. B. Weeks said that Cal vin H. Wiley had given to North Car olina the very best common school system that could be found in any Southern State prior to the great war. This is strictly true. North Carolina led its Southern sisters here as it led them in many things, and in the teeth of their jibes and names of reproach. But, sad to say, in this year of grace 1900, there "is a great deal of illiteracy in this tine old State, nat urally one of the greatest in the "Nation." It is no longer written in political circles "the American Union." It is the fault of parents, of white parents at that, that there is so much widespread illiteracy. They do not, they will not, send their children to the public schools, all open and free of charge. So there is need of a general educational revival, and our able leader and standard-bearer, the able and wise Aycock, is in the field urging upon the white people to edu cate their children, and for the State to increase the facilities. Better schools, a higher grade of teachers, longer terms, are greatly needed. Much of the prosperity and renown of the State depend upon a better system of public schools and the faithful at tendance of all children of school age. Good, wise, honest, economical gov ernment brings in its train many blessings, and among them is educa tion. It enables the appropriations to be more generous, and this to enlarge the facilities without really increas ing much of the burdens of the tax payers. The Democrats arc awake now to this matter of very great and pressing importance. They are deter mined that tho opportunities for free education shall be ample, and that improvement in the character of the teachers shall be the watchword of reform and progress. If the white children are not educated hereafter it will not be the fault of enlightened and progressive Democrats, but of stupid parents. The amendment to the Constitution requires white boys to learn to read and write by 1908. It gives the boys of 8, 10, 12 and 13 many years in which to learn to read and write. It is not partisanship in "the least de gree11 to cause this to be done. All share alike. Republican boys. Demo cratic boys, Populist boys. All par ties should unite in this great move ment for improvement of the public schools, the betterment of society, the development of the State, the up lifting of the individual. With the success of the amendment the negro schools will be also improved and developed and the negro boys can easily qualify themselves to vote as they become of age. By 1915 prob ably there can be an educated elec torate in North Carolina. Wilming ton Messenger. The Washington Post pays the fol lowing tribute to Mr. Bryan: "He is the one Democrat alive who can develop the party's utmost strength this year.
