To the Editor of The Landmark :
I have just been handed a copy
of the Landmark of the 29th of
August, and I see in it a commu
nication from a correspondent who
signs his name "B," who states
that Esquire Adderholdt and the
Old Roman will support the consti
tutional amendment. If by the
Old Roman is is meant the waiter
of this article, he is very much
mistaken. If almighty God per
mits me to live until the election,
and I am able to go and vote. I will
vote against the amendment. The
entering wedge to the downfall of
all republics has been by tamper
ing with the elective franchise. I
have never struck a blow at our
great American Republic yet, and
I do not propose to do it now in
my old age. It is sheer nonsense
to say that the amendment applies
to the negro only. It applies to
the white man also, and I do not
propose to disfranchise any white
man except by his own will and
action. I have other good reasons
for my stand. I am not governed
by what Butler or any other man
mar say or think, and I intend to
act and vote as I think best for my
country. J. AT. A. Kerb.
Mooresville, N. C, Sep. 14, '99.
Mr. Kerr, one would infer, is a
Populist, and he shows very plain
ly where he stands, and gives good
and sufficient reasons for his oppo
sition to this Democratic scheme to
disfranchise thousands of the un
fortunate white men of the State.
The history of this country- does
not show that the poor and unlet
tered man is its greatest enemy by
any means. Some of the best citi
zens we have are poor, and by mis
fortune have grown up in ignorance.
In times of peril they are the
one3 to shoulder the gun and go
forward in defence of the govern
ment and for the government to
deny them a right to participate in
its affairs is unjust and impolitic.
"Taxation without representa
tion is myast, 7 and will not be
tolerated by a free and liberty
loving people. Our forefathers
fought for it, and we will maintain
it at all hazards.
The leaven is working, and by
next August the machine crowd
will find out that unfair partizan
election laws, made for the express
piirpose of placing a machine crowd
in power in this State, will not be
t- lerated by a free, liberty loving
r-rrtp The election law is an
jj Vj-V v
adroitly prepared scheme to defeat.
the will of the people, and the
amendment is being given great
prominence by its sponsors m order
to divert the people from one of the
most unrighteous, partizan election
laws ever engrafted on the statute
books. Let the good work of ex
posing this great scheme go on.
Our friends may rest assured
that The Record appreciates their
patronage, and those who advertise
with us will get their moneys'
worth. If we know it, no fraud or
fake advertisement shall find its
way into our columns; and no one
shall use space in our paper to the
detriment of our advertisers. In
other words, we shall take pleasure
in helping those who help us.
who had made themselves intelli
gent, worthy citizens, who knew
nothing about the elementary prin
ciples of English grammar, and in
fact, in many instances, by men who
could not read or write. Knowing
this, I was swift to resent any in
sinuation that the democracy would
attempt to degrade this most meri
torious class of our toiling tax
paxers.
But since the action of our last
legislature in seeking to deprive a
large per cent, of our best citizens
of their right of suffrage, to claim
therefore to be any longer a demo
crat would be the sheerest hypoc
risy on my part. I shal fight with
my heart and hand and with every
other power God has given me in
the beginning of my manhood life
these most to be dreaded results.
I will never give my consent to the
dishonorable proposition to commit
the entire election machinery to one
party.
I will never consent to an amend
ment to our state constitution which
drives out of existence all political
parlies except the one governing
the election machinery. I believe
that the arraignment of our public
abuses at the bar of reason is the
only hope of this republic. The
party that fears this is not brave
and is unfit to govern a free people.
Resp'y, Jno. L. Councill.
Vilas, N. C, Sep. 11, 1899.
Another Demoerat heard from,
and don't he talk like a patriot
and lover of his State and country ?
We extend our congratulations to
Dillon M. Luther, chairman of
Zeb Vance Democratic Club of
Asheville; also to Hon. Thomas
Patton. ex-mayor of Asheville, and
now comes our young friend, Coun
cil!, whose patriotic words should
inspire every lover of right and
liberty to do his whole duty until
the polls dose next August, God
defend the right.
This is Prosperity.
In 1890 the savings deposits in
the Chicago savings banks the
savings of the laboring people
were twelve and one-third millions;
last June they were nearly forty
and one-half millions of dollars. A
good showing. Raleigh Post.
Yes, indeed. McKinley pros
perity has struck Chicago; and its
effects are being seriously felt in
f North Carolina. But it's hard to
get some of the calamity wailer.-; to
admit it. Let her continue to
fsplode" all over this country.
To Iisfiiiaclie Wliite Voters.
A Pertinent Inquiry.
Elsewhere in this issue appears
a very timely and pertinent com
munication from a Cabarras popu
list making inquiry why sections
4 and 5 of the constitutional amend
ment were not embodied into one
section so as to remove any doubt
or danger that may exist in the
minds of the people as to the dis
franchisement of any white voters
in the event that the state supreme
court should declare section 5 un
constitutional and leave the rest
standing. This is a highly impor
tant yea, vital quesiion, and we
would like to see the democratic
leaders and newspapers explain
why these two sections were not
joined together when the amend
ment was framed - This will get at
a very important feature of the
matter and the motives that actu
ated them to make separate sec
tions. We do not believe that any
good and satisfactory reason can be
given for having two distinct sec
tions when one would have removed
all trouble. With only one section
and in the event of the grandfather
section being . declared unconstitu
tional, then the educational quali
fication would also have been de
feated, and no white voter's right
would be in danger. We call upon
our democratic contemporaries for
explanation . Caucasian .
The Raleigh Post says every
thing points to a good advance in
the price of cotton. The best au
thorities now concede the crop
cannot exceed 10,000,000 bales,
which would mean that the staple
ought to fetch at least 8 cents per
pound. So convinced are the
Southern mill men of this early
advance in price of the raw cotton
that they are discussing ways and
means to meet it, saying they can
not afford to pay the advance and
sell their products at prices now
prevailing. As contracts for fu
ture deliverv are the life of the
business, the mill men are there
fore embarrassed as to what con
tracts for the future they are justi
fied in making. We hope the farm
er will soon be getting the higher
price.
The Crown Cotton Mills at Dal
ton, Ga., last year declared a divi
uend oi 4:3 per cent, ana tms year
of 93 per cent. This shows a tre
mendously piofitable business, and
would seem to indicate that as be
tween the growers of cotton and
the manufacturers of cotton there
ought to be a more equitable dis
tribution of earnings. Philadel

Opposed to tha Scheme.
To the Editor of Watauga Democrat:
My attention has been called to
an article appearing in your paper
of date August 24th, 1899, in which
it is stated that "John L. Council.
of Vilas, a young man whose de
iaocracy has never" been questioned,
is holding the position of special
brandv srnaeer." etc. I do not
kuoMr what others think of my de-
mocracv I v oted with the demo
cratic party and I resented the as
sertion of the republican candidates
and speakers made at the last fall
electious mat the democracy har
bored evil doings upon the ballot
box, or that they intended to re
quire an educational qualification
for the exercise of the elective fran
chise. I knew that the energy and
moral qualities oi many of our illit
erate ancestors had contributed
largely to the development of our
common country. I knew that the
burden of state had been borne
with Herculean strength by men
ARDSN, N. C, Sept. 20, 1199.
Editor of the Gazette:
When I was in AsMVille Mon
day ex Congressman Thomas Settle
expressed himself to lae on the
nrnpuriment as follows: lie said the
fifth section of it M as unconstitu
tional; that it would undoubtedly
be thrown out by tiie courts; ana
that the amendment wouia dis
franchise both white and black il
literates. He said it would go hard
er with the whites than the negroes
because the ignorant whites wer
mostly farmers, living where they
could not get school advantages,
while the negroes lived mostly in
the. towns where there were good
schools.
... . ..I i i it
"NVhefrM-T. ettie roiu me iaai me
5th section of the amendment would
be decided unconstitutional and tnat
i ii i i
the fourth section wouiu aisirau-
chise the whites and blacks ante,
tld him that if he would ueiiver
that kind of a speechAjn Western
Xorth Carolina he would mur.e
more votes against the amendment
than all the speakers who were op
posed to it could maice, oecaiuw
that would open tne eyes ui me
ignorant whites, as coming from a
man who was in favor of the amend
ment J- B- oumseb.
The above letter together with
the testimony of Collector Harkins
And others, leaves no doubt in any
reasonable man's mind as to what
the Hon. Thos. Settle thinks ol the
amendment. He is in favor of an
n-irvitimin.1 nualification. and he
t,UUVUl.vv.. x
gives it as his opinion that section
5 is unconstitutional. That being
the case, it will, as we have all
along contended, disfranchise all
whites who cannot read and write.
The Democrats are not getting as
much comfort out of Mr. Settle's
views as at first. And when the
people get through with them next
August, with a free ballot and a
lair count, (if we can get it) there
won't be a greasy spot left.
On with the fight for justice and
the right. Down with the dema
gogues and political tricksters.
Bead, think, listen, and go to the
polls and vote for the perpetuation
of manhood suffrage in Xorth Car
olina; for the masses rather than
the classes. y
