That before the next general election on the first Thursday in Aug-ust, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred, provided for in this act, there shall be an entirely new registration of all persons who shall be entitled to register in every voting precinct in the state, and only such persons as are registered shall be en titled to vote in any election held un der this act. That in all cases the applicant for registration shall be sworn by the registrar before being registered and shall state and answer his age, place of residence, stating ward if he resides in an incorporated town or city, number of his house if numbered, and if not numbered then a designation of its locality by streets; and if not the owner, then the name of the owner or renter. If not a resi dent of an incorporated town or city he shall then state his place of resi dence in the election precinct; and if he is not the owner of the house in which he lives then he shall state the name of the person who does own the same or upon whose land he lives; the time of his residence in said county, ward or election precinct; his avoca tion, place of business, where and by whom empkryed if employed; if a new comer from whence he comes, and his postofflce address before removal; whether he has been disqualified as a voter by judgment or decree of any court, if so by what court reinstated; whether he has listed for taxation his poll for the current 3'ear in which he proposes to register, and for the jear next preceding-, if liable to pajr a poll tax, and any'other questions which may be regarded by the registrar as material upon the question of the identity and qualification of the said applicant to be admitted to registra tion. The registrar may require the applicant to prove his identity or age and residence by the testimon' of at least two electors under oath. And the statements made by the applicant for registration in answer to any of these questions shall be evidence against him in any proceedings for false or fraudulent registration. And the reg istrar shall record the full name by which he is known, his age, occupa tion, place of birth and place of resi dence of said elector, the name of the postofflce, township, county or state from whence the elector has removed, in the event of a removal; by whom employed, if employed; whether he has listed his poll for taxation for the current 3ear ia which he applies for registration and for the year next preceding, if liable to pay a poll tax, in the appropriate column of the reg istration books, and the registration books containing the said record shall be evidence against the applicant in any court of law in a proceeding for false or fraudulent registration." And thereupon if the said registrar shall adjudge the applicant to be duly qual ified and entitled to be registered as an elector he shall register the name of the applicant, giving his race op posite to his namcoa the registration books: Provided, that nothing herein contained shall prevent any elector or judge of election on the day of elec tion and when the elector presents himself to vote from challenging the right of the elector to vote, "if an elector has previously been admitted to registration in any ward, township or precinct ia the county in "Which he resides he shall not be entitled to reg ister again in another ward, precinct or township in the same county until he produces a certificate of the regis trar in the former township, ward or precinct that his name has been eras ed from the registration books of the ward, precinct or township from which he has removed, and the identity of any person claiming the right to be registered in any precinct of the same county by virtue of said certificate with the person named therein shall be proven by the oath of the claimant, and when required by "the registrar by the oath of at least one other elec tor. Every person found and adjudged by the registrar qualified as an elec tor shall take the following oath: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the constitution of the United States and the constitution of the state of North Carolina; that I nave Deen a resident North Carolina for Is the state of tenths and .ot .the county of . .y. . .f that I am twenty -one that I have not eels ivt age: election in any otuer ward, precinct tut tias LUYvusiiip, tiiau x am tne identical person I represent myself to be, and that I am a bona fide resident of precinct. So help mc, God." 'And thereupon the said person shall be en titled to register. That if any appli cant for registration who is permi tted to register shall confess upon his ex-' animation under oath at the time he is admitted to registration that he has not listed his poll for taxation for the current year, if the time of his said applicat ion is after the time fixed by law for listing taxes in that year or if he shall admit that he did not list his poll for taxation for the year next preceding, it shall be the duty of the registrar to certify said fact or facts to the clerk of the superior court of his county, and the said clerk shall hand such certificate to the solicitor for the district at the next term of the superior court, and the solicitor shall without delay draw and send to the grand jury a bill of indictment against such elector so registering for failure to list his poll tax. And if any applicant shall falsely swear he has listed his poll for taxation he shall be guilty of perjury and punished as prescribed by law: Provided, that the answer of the delinquent, that he has not listed his poll for taxation, shall not be used against him in any criminal proceeding for a failure to list his poll', but it shall be the duty of the solicitor to whom said name is certified, if he shall be satisfied that said alleged delinquent elector is lia ble to list his poll and that he has failed to do so as required by law, to send a bill of indictment against such delinquent to the grand jury for fail ure to list his poll. f v The Davie Record, PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY.

Senator Tillman went to the root of the race trouble when he laid the whole blame of the riots in the Greenwood section, not upon the negroes, but upon the Tolberts. He declared that if the Tolberts, the leaders of the Republican party in that section, are still stirring up the negroes, they ought to be dealt with. "If you want to uproot this evil and kill the snake," he said, "go kill the Tolberts, but don't abuse the poor, innocent black wretches." This is unquestionably harsh language, but it is sound advice. Charlotte Observer. As the Observer of the 25th misconstrues my editorial of the 2Gth, I give a paragraph of its edi torial of the ISth, in which he says that Ben Tillman's advice to kill the Tolbert's was "sound advice." There is no necessity for miscon struction, this language is too plain to even question the "advice." I have never been so "fair-minded" as to advise either whites or ne groes to deeds of lawlessness and murder, and I hope that time will never come. I deprecata all forms of lawlessness. I advise the ne groes to be peaceable and law-abiding. I do not advise them to kill those who resort to murder and assassination to carry the elections rather than see Republicans in office. The Tolberts and all other Republicans are amenable to the law, and when they violate the law, justice according to civilized methods, should be meted out to them. Let's have law and or der. Let's prosecute all offend ers, white or black, Democrat or Republican. If this be not fair minded, then I plead guilty. The disclosures made before the committee to investigate the peni tentiary management kIiows a spe cies of barbarism which cannot be tolerated in North Carolina. It matters not who they are or what their politics, the law should be rigidly enforced against the guilty party or parties. The whipping to death of the negro Lowe should be investigated to the fullest ex tent, and the murderers prosecuted and punished. That fellow Sum merell should be relieved from duty at once and his conduct rigidly investigated. In a speech at Greenwood, S. C, last week, Senator Tillman called the white cappers who have been terrorizing negroes in that section "white cowards," doubtless a very proper term. He was undoubtedly also correct when he said: "The Yankees are watching us closely, and the eyes of the whole world are on the race problem South. They will take advantage of every thing 01 his kind to abuse the South. You are just playing into the Yankees' hands." But into whose hands was the same Tillman playing when he in this self-same speech said: "Don't abuse these poor l)lack wretches, but go to the Republican leaders. If you want to uproot this evil and kill the m rri n Train trr -Tolb few white cappers" by their acts were "playing into the hands of the Yankees," what must we think of the spectacle of a United States Senator, a supposed defender of law and order, publicly advising that Republica n leaders be killed, rather than a few negroes white capped ? If Tillman had evidence of wrong-doing against the Tol berts, he should have used it in a legal manner. But such talk as that which is credited to him is enough to bring the blush of shame to the cheek of every true South erner. Whither are we drifting 1 Progressive Farmer. Bro. Poe you had better mind how you criticise Ben Tillman, oi' you" will have the Charlotte Ob server on your back. It won't do to say anything about these high officials of Democracy unless you want to be misconstrued and mis represented. We have made it a rule to condemn all kinds of law lessness, yet we are misrepresented. We condemn white-cappers and midnight assassins, and all kin dred crimes, yet because we con demned Ben and the Observer for advising the murder of the, Tol berts, we are misrepresented. Wool-Growing In The South. The Wool Record, considered as the organ of those engaged in the sheep industry and an authority on all questions relating to sheep and wool, having studied the op portunities of Western North Car olina as a sheep country says: "The blue ribbon and gold med al at the World's Columbian Expo sition at Chicago, for the best wool was awarded to Maj . R. S. Tucker, of North Carolina. When the com parative littfe prominence fhat State enjoys as a wool-producing section is considered, this rewarrd is somewhat surprising to the gen eral reader. However, it is doubt ful if there is in the United States a better section for raising of sheep than North Carolina. The climate, soil and other conditions are admi rably adapted to sheep husbandry. The winters are not so severe that the sheep require shelter much of the time. And there are but a few days when they are unable to gain a living on the field or forest ranges. With the exception of excessive winter weather, such as was expe rienced during January 1893, they will keep in good condition with what they find in the fields and woods without preparing forage. Where will one find a more ideal sheep range than the Piedmont re gion or the lower southeastern slope of the Blue Ridge, having an altitude of live hundred to one thousand feet above the e gion extending from Northern Vir ginia to Northern Alabama! "Here the mountain range breaks the force of the cold si orm from the northwest, and the air is sufficient ly cool, dry and raiined to prevent the debilitating and unhealthy ef fects of warm weather. Here is a belt twenty to forty miles wide and nearly a thousand miles long that will in time be famous as a pastoral region. "With regard to mutton as food, the South needs more than is sup plied at present. More mutton and less pork should be used, and- in time and not a very long time Hs beneficial effects would be man ifested in the improved general health of the people, and in their greater ability to resist the nat ural conditions of a warm cli mate. As a summer or a warm weat her meat food, mutton is ex cellent. It is very digestible, highly nutritions, contains a large proportion of protein, very little carbohydrates, and as a universal food far Southern as well as Nort h ern latitudes has few equals and no superiors. North Carolina enjoys a home field for her mutton products, has easy access to Wasniugton. Balti more, Philadelphia, New York, Cincinnati, Louisville and numer ous smaller cities, all of which are within easy reach of the field pro duction, and would consume large quantities of her mutton, if it could be supplied promptly, in good con. dition, Avhen most needed. "The wool side of sheep hus bandry is too frequently passed over with indifference by farmers in these days. Wool has been on the underside in this fight for so long that mutton has been allowed to obscure its importance to the Sheep farmer. The new wool tariff, small foreign supplies, the inade quacy of stock on hand, the insuf ficiency of the present clip, the unusually large demands for wool ens, the prosperity of the people and the steady growth of the na tion, are all factors contributing toward higher prices for wool and toward a larger wool consumption in the nation Those sections which increase their Hocks most rapidly, enlarge their wool products most appreciably, and pay most atten tion to sheep husbandry, will gath er most quickly the largest returns from this prosperity. "North Carolina is So well adapt cd to sheep-breeding that it cannot be more xuunir-n jzi-m YPYinl-o'rowiner will be one o leading live-stock industries, and she wfil be reaping benefits from her wool and mutton. Her natural advantages, physical and climatic, entitle her to a prominent position as a wool-growing State. She en joys a special advantage -in her steamer lines, which place her principal seaport, Wilmington, within sixty hours by sea of New York, thus giving her the advan tage of the very latest and most approved methods of selling wool either at private or auction sale, which are afforded by the Wool Exchange. The foregoing article should be thoughifully considered by our farmer frieuds. This section is well suited to sheep and cattle raising, and there is good money in it. Our farmers should raise 3heep and cattle and make manure for improving their lands, and not de pend so much on commercial ferti lizers. Make your improvement permanent. Buy nothing you can make at home. If the press of the State w'ould devote more time and space to such subjects and less to partizan politics, our country would soon forge ahead, and much good would follow. Is the Country Prospering? "Just think of it," exclaimed an employment agent in Chicago last Wednesday to a representative of the Times-Herald, of that city. "Six dollars a day for 'engineers to run threshing machines, $i a day for feeders, $4 for good sack "aien, and $2.25 and $2.50 for common harvest hands, including board. This is the word from Minnesota and the Dakotas. There is no hot air about the figures. They are offered by good people with cash pay. And yet the big farmers in the Northwest complain that they can't get hands to harvest their wheat." The same information comes from Duluth, Minn. A dis patch from that city says that the labor shortage in that neighbor hood is greater than ever, notwith standing the fact that wages have been raised, every inducement of fered to workingmen, and even In dians brought in to help. Among all the proofs offered that the country is prospering these facts are the most significant. They show that the good times have reached right down to the common laborer and that he is getting his snare 01 tne returns. x-niiaueipnis Press. The above speaks for itself. The calamity wailers continue their vo cation. How can men who profess to be interested in the growth and development of our country, try so hard, for partizan purposes, to re tard it ? Can they not see the bad effect of stirring up strife and dis content ! Change front, gentlemen, and let our best efforts be directed to the building up of the waste places, the encouragement of law and order, and the betterment of the great masses of our fellow citi zens. Is it not worthy of serious consideration 1 There Are Courts and Courts. We notice in a contemporary the statement that "the Supreme Court" decided that the Wilming ton & Wekion Railroad property should be listed for taxation. Yes, it was the Supreme Court of THE UNITED STATES, an in stance, and a daily living instance, that this "foreign" "outside" court is a part and parcel of our judicial system, if not the most re liable in doing justice; and seeing that justice is to and among and by our own people the one towaid an other. Aud another living instance of this fact, which we may as well mention as we go along, wherein this "foreign court" stood becween our people and degradation was when it decided the infamous civil rights law to be unconstitutional. Yet Federal courts are denounc ed by shallow demagogues as "for eign courts," Federal judges as in ter meddlers intruding themselves and their jurisdiction into our local affairs whenever they undertake to perform the duties of settling mat ters in dispute between citizens of different states, whenever, forsooth, they discharge the duties contem plated by the constitution of the United States from its adoption. Such poppy-cock w ill not lead any one of the few demagogues who thus traduce the only courts that would or could turn our people out of jail when our own state officers had placed them there and our own judiciary was exhausted, aud who traduce the jurisdiction of the court that defended us front the civil rights crime, into the United State3 Senate. This may as" well be put into the pipe and smoked. Raleigh Post. North Carolina Advance. Mr. M. V. Richards, the indus trial agent of the Southern, was flip DiinciDal speaker on Tuesday. before the Immigration aiK trial associationm drpfmsboro in an address on tne advancement of the South in the past ten years. Among other things he said that the wealth of the nation had increased in one de cade over twenty billions. The in crease of farms had been 215 per cent since 1859, or an average of about 30 per cent for each ten years. From 1890 to 1898 he said, North Carolina's population has increased 197,000, In this length of time the increase in the number of bushels of corn raised is 9,000,000 bushels, while in oats it is 2000, 000 and in 'wheat 1000,000 Iii the manufacturing line he shows that North Carolina had made a commendable advance. The in crease in the number of manufac turing enterprises is 3667; capital invested $82,000,000; number of employees 36,214; wages paid $7. 000,000; raw material consumed $22,000,000; finished product $40,- 000,000. All tnis is omy tne crease from 1890 to 1898. iU- Orders for the enlistment of more volunteer regiments will be issued soon. At least one of the new reg iments will be composed of negroes. They have given such good service that there is now no fear that they will prove unsatisfactory. Falsetto Key Note. At the political barbecue at Old Fort Saturday the proposed con stitutional amendment was discuss ed by persons who favor the pas sage of that measure. It was the first meeting of the amendment campaign in the State, aud its man agers had put forward their best talent, so that it was to be expected that the strongest defense possible would be made of the proposed measure. We are told y several of the amendment papers that the "key note ot the campaign" was struck by tn'ese speakers. We have therefore examined their utterances carefully. Our distinguished towns man, Mr. Locke Craig, was un doubtedly tne man best able to strike this key note; and we truly believe he did so. We believe, however, the note as struck will be out of harmony with the music of the campaign when the latter has been prolonged to the point of reason and argument on more than cne side. Here is the "key note" as struck by Mr. Craig: "The proposed amendment to e constitution disfranchises the egro. it will roD hiin 01 his pow- ;r in North Carolina. We are told by some of the opponents of the amendment that it will also dis franchise a large number of white people. It will not disfranchise a single white man unless that man swears that he is a negro, or the lineal descendant of the negro. We wish that peace may exist be tween the two races living in con tentment together. We desire that our polities will be elevated and purified." Mr. Craig always expresses him self in good language, and bur only regret in this case is that the good language does not state the facts as they exist. The facts an ; 1. The proposed amendment, if passed, will disfranchise Borne ne groes. 2. Those it disfranchises it will rob of power. Those it doesn't it won't. 3. The proposed amendment, if. passed, will disfranchise some thousands white men. If it is emas culated by the supreme court it will disfranchise many thousands more white men. 4. The enactment of a law that would disfranchise some, or even all, of the negroes in the state, would not have the slightest effect in conducing to "peace between the races." The tendency, oil the other hand, would be to aggravate race troubles. Number 4 may sound like an opinion, but we speak fronrthe ex isting facts in the other states that have tried the experiment we are asked to try. Where today is the most disturbance between the racesl In South Carolina, Georgia; Mississippi - -aHfl--i6uisiaHa;'' In SoutlT'Carolina the negro is "rob bed of his power" by legislation he no longer counts or is counted. In Georgia his vote is snowed under an eighty thousand Democratic ma jority. In Mississippi legislation knocks him out, and in Louisiana the constitutioual amendment pro posed for North Carolina has been passed and a political gang rules the State, and the negro's vote is counted no more than the white man's. There is no use in specula ting what a proposed law will do, when the same law can be seen in operation, and the facts are ojeu to the observation of everybody. These, as shown in the states we have mentioned, are that the races live less at peace where the legislation discriminates against one and in favor of the other than in. any other States in the union. As to )Hie other counts in the statement Jeat Old Fort as a "key note j ve proposed amendmc fl 1 r m nil or will z amendineut, 7r piii7r six vears. u uie crauu- father clause is not declared inval id, (a big if) illiterate white men will be allowed to register as vot ers, if they or their ancestors were entitled to vote in any state pre vious to January 1867. All illit erates of foreign parentage, who do not conform to the lineal descendent requirement are disfranchised. We are not straining the point to say that some of these will be "single white men." Iu 1908 and after wards every man who comes for ward to register, he be white or black, who cannot meet the educa tional requirements, will be dis franchised. The experience" of oth er slates, as well as our own. proves that under the most favorable cir cumstances and with vastly increas ed appropriations for public schools, even allowing that the people will grant the increased taxation for this purpose, eight years cau re duce the illiteracy of the state but by a small per ceutagc. So it is a fact that thousands of white men would be disfranchised by the pro posed amendment, even with the. grandfather clause as protection to those who are able to register under it. But our belief is that the grandfather clause would not be allowed to stand, iu which case every white man in the state who could not now meet the educational requirement of the law would be disfranchised. It the constitution al amendment is passed a test will be made in the courts on the lineal descendant section. This certainly mast be faced by all who vote on the amendment and nf amount of assertion on the part of those who desire the passage of the Amend ment, or of eloquent talk on( other features ot the measures while ig noring this fact, can withdraw it from the controversy over the pro posed statute. The constitutional amendment is aimed ro serve no useful purpose. It "will strengthen the dange'is of machiue politics in this totatc, it will disfranchise white men and black men because of their poverty and the poverty of the State that deprives them of the educational opportunities, and needlessly stiiuulates ill-feeling be tween the races. Next to the elec tion law passed by the same legis lature that drafted the amendment i is the most harmful legislation evci proposed for this state. Ashe ville Gazette. It Is Well to Know. Mr. Bryan's notion of money by legislation, and the like, is wholly Popnlistic and wholly a uti-Democratic. Still, we are gtad that Mr. Bryan has had his say on this case. It is well for the party to learn on what terms they must have him. . It is well for those who beat him before to learn on what terms they won't have him and must beat aim again, Brooklyn Eagle. The Southern 'a good business. The Southern railway officials say that the passenger business over the Southern this year has broken all records. Many thou sands of people have been taken to summer resorts in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina, and it is stilted that the through busi ness between New York and Warts ton and Tew Orleans has been greater than ever before. One of the officials of the road stated that the recent purchase of the South Carolina and Georgia railroad had resulted iu the Southern doing a heavy business in Charleston, and in that section of 8uth Carolina. All passenger trains of the South ern passing through Danville in both directions, carry a heavy com pliment of passengers. Danville Pegister. Democrats Put In a Negro Policeman. In the city of Hick ory, a town with only a few negroes in it, not over a fourth of the vo ters, a town that the Democrats boasted of carrying last spring, yet since then, has had a negro police man in it. Is this true I if so "what do yu think of- u0tt4-ucirs1an . That's the size of it. They had the same last year. We have nig ger domination here too. Tinies Mercufy. The Lauriubufg Exehango offers the following good advice: "The 12,000,000 bale prediction is rather discouraging, but wo be lieve the farmers could realize a better price for their cotton than they usually do, if they would pay more attention to the picking Usually the farmers are very par ticular in looking after the plant ing and cultivation of the crop, but when harvesting time corner, they turn loose in their field4" .. gang of reckless pickers, a great many of whom are children, and p:iy no attention to them. In their desire to have all they possibly can when weighing time arrives, they rush over it, mixing with the cotton, burs, leaves, sand aud all manner of trash, and when the cotton is brought to market the result is a lower price than it should be. Tho price is going to be low enough at t, and let every man stay in his field witTT it that his cotton is picked free from trash." A prominent German paper de clares that Germany has never had arty dealings with Captain Dreyfns.
