I' I We wish to call ihe attention of voters to a certain paragraph of section eleven of the election law recently enacted by a Democratic legislature. Read it carefully: "The registrar may require the applicant to prove his identity or age and residence by the testimony of at least two electors under oath." The above is taken from the law book and nothing added thereto. Now, we wish to call the attention of the people to this paragraph for a purpose that purpose is to show them to what desperate methods the framers of this law have re sorted in order to put the ring crowd in power. Why make it impossible for a poor or even a rich man to register and vote, if the registrar happens to be an unprincipled partizan? Now why do we say impossible! For the simple reason that there are few voters in North Carolina who could prove these facts by electors. - Your mother, if living, would not be a competent witness; the old family Bible would be ruled out of court, for the statute ex pressly says by at least two elec tors these facts must be proven by at least two electors under oath. Don't you see the infamy of it f Are you ready to march up to the polls and aid such conspirators against the liberties and rights of the people, in their unhallowed work are vou willing: to entrust the government of North Carolina to such a crew! Let them once get securely lodged in power behind such infamous twins as the election aw and the constitutional amend ment. and nothing but a revolution of the people can dislodge them.

Let us, tw conclusion, point out another shretsrd part of the scheme of this paragraph: "The registrar may require word "may require the and Purnell can aid this crowd in fastening such laws upon the peo ple. Well may Mr. Settle say that he is not a candidate for office next year, for he would get few Repub lican votes in North Carolina.

Why, in his unbounded discretion he can re quire you to bring up a dozen, if he likes. Had you over thougiu of it in this light! If not, it is time vou were. The word "may" plays a very important, part and such men as the Hon. Thos. Settle, Gen. Cowles and Judge Starbuck, Re publicans whom the Democratic papers are quoting and courting so nicely, can hang their harp on the willow tree, so far as ever desiring to hold another office in North Carolina is concerned, if these beau tiful twins are both engrafted on the statute books. It is no surprise to us when we see it stated by the Simmons crowd that, they are going to carry it. Why, of course, they can carry anything with that election law, if properly manipulated, unless the people, the great common people, rise up in their might and crush this giant anaconda to death. And for the life of us, we cannot see how menr-sensible men,. Abuse of Power. The Raleigh News in one issue has these items: "Magistrate Barbee has sent Cas sey Pulley, a seventeen-year-old whsie girl, to the roads because she could not pay costs in a case against her." "Annie Clark, a young white girl, and her brother Jud Clark, were yesterday sent to the roads by Magistrate Nichols for failure to pay costs and fine in a case for an affray." It seems a hardship that white girls should be sent to the roads to work out petty sums, and there to be brutalized and turned into crim inals by contact with the toughest of men. This shows the great need of a reformatory in this State. Charlotte News. Last fall when we sent out a sup plement with cartoons showing white girls working with negroes, the self-righteous got mad and said it was not true. Hickory Times Mercury. A disgraceful state of affairs to exist in a State whose legislature recently in session at Raleigh, spent most of its time in enacting parti zan election laws and constitutional amendments. Shame upon them. Young white girls can woric the roads with criminal whites and ne groes. If this is white supremacy God save the State, for the Demo cratic party can't do it. The President's Faith in Prayer. The first business session of the forty-eighth annual Northwest Metho dist Episcopal Conference oponed with 250 ministers present. Bishop Hurst paid a beautiful tribute to President McKinley, stating that a few davs ago he called on the Presi dent and asked him if there was not some small burden that I could help him bear. The President replied that there was one thing he could do keep praying for him. The bishop said he did not believe there was another man in the world who relied so im plicitly upon God to direct him as President McKinley. Frankfort, Ind. Dispatch to Indianapolis Journal, Sep tember G. If good men like McKinley feel the need of prayer, how should Simmons and his crowd feel on the subject? They are fighting for a cause that no good man can be called on to pray for and be consistent. Wouldn't it be funny to hear them asking for the prayers of the people they purpose robbing of their rights and liberties '? While The Record's subscrip tion list continues to grow, and its future seems brighter every day, nothing does us more good than the kind words of commendation from our people, the great common peo ple, for whom we are fighting. Conscious of the right, we shall continue the battle along the same lines. machine ever was organized, and constructed unfair election laws and used other nefarious means as exciting violent prejudice in the minds of the people and employing speakers and writers to misrepre sent issues to make themselves solid in office, who did not have an object of oi ganized plunder! We appeal to the honesty and intelli gence of the State to say, in the light of the broken pledges of the last campaign, and the revelation of intention in the partisan election law. if the political managers at Raleigh are fit to be trusted further with the control of affairs in North Carolina. The men the people elected to the legislature last fall did not frame the election law or constitutional amendment. The election law floated into the legisla ture on the breezes. The man who introduced it hardly understood its provisions, but it bore the label of the machine. In the "confer ences" at whieh the constitutional amendment was concocted two or three men were present who were not members of the legislature but whose voices were more potent than any member's. In secret cau cus these measures were argued on their "merits" as means of ren dering "white supremacy perma nent" a farcical way of express ing a meaning now well understood, of putting the machine in a posi tion that could defy the will of the people. Asheville Gazette. Mark Twain on the Devil. Settle. jrdf brainy Becoming Demoralized The Gazette demonstrated, some days ago that the managers of the amendment campaign in this btate are very much demoralized. Ihey have shown unmistakable signs of abandoning the serious defense of theiK disfranchising scheme, are afraid to utter even the most per fnnntorv reolv to the attacks at their election -law, preserving the silence of the guiity, caught in the act on that measure, and are set tling back into the one field that is left for them that holdsout any hone of assistance, awakening race prejudice to the point pf violence. That men snouia De iouna in State capable of plotting to destroy its peace and tarnish its reputation in the eyes of the world for their political advantage is shameful. But it was done last fall and the it j ? j -l same men mac were in control ui that campaign are in charge of the campaign that will end next Au gust. We say now that the politi cal machine that constructed the disfranchising amendment and the "bull pen" election law will go to any length to carry these measures at the polls. The constitution of the nation they have sworn to de fend, the peace and good order of the State, fairness and honesty in elections and every interest of the people will be freely sacrificed as they deem necessary in order to establish a system of boss rule in North Carolina. These men who got a foothold last fall have just One scheme tn foot and only one. ft is to get possession of the politi cal machinery of the State in such a wav that no effort of the people armed only with the elective iran chise can oust them. This accom plished what is then to prevent the looting of the State ? The election of Mich men to offiee is the granting f,e i rvM!". frucise to loot. Whai In Harper's Magazine for Sep tember Mark Twain has a clever skit on the devil. He say:s "I have no special regard for Satan, but I can at least lay claim that I have no prejudice against him. It may even be that I lean a little in his way, on account of his not having a fair show. All relig ions issue Bibles against him, and say the most injurious things about him. but we never hear his side. We have none but the evidence for the prosecution, and yet we have rendered the verdict. To my mind, this is irregular. It is un-English: it is un-American: it is French. Without this precedent Dreyfus could not have been condemned. "Of course Satan has some kind of a case, it goes without saying. It may be a poor one, bnt that is nothing: that can be said about any of us. As soon as I can get at the facts I will undertake his reha bilitation myself, if I can find an unpolitic publisher. It is a thing which we ought to be willing to do for anyone who is under a cloud. "We may not pay him reverence, for that would be indiscreet, but we can at least repect his talents. A person who has for untold centuries maintained the imposing position of spiritual head of four-fifths of the human race, and political head of the whole of it, must be granted the possession of evecutive abilities of the loftiest order. In his large piesence the other popes and poli ticians shrink to midgets for the mieroscorje. I would like to see him. I would rather see him and shake him by the tail than any other member of the European Concert." To Be Given Away.
