The Travelers' Protective association, in session an New Orleans this week, adopted a report condemning trusts, as follows: "The dark clouds of monopolies and trusts still hover pver us, and since our - last convention many lonuneraiM ' travelers have lost their positions. And, to , use the language of an authorized aorent of trusts. 350.000 commercial trav elers have been thrown out of employ ment by the concentration of mercantile and commercial Industries in tne trust. Three million dollars are thus saved to the trusts by the consequent withholding OI advertising ptnruutte irum luuuhjt newspapers; in other words, the trusts in these two items alone save to themselves 16,000,000 daily." , ' . ; The Ajnendment. Greensboro Telegram.' i ) The Bepublicans of North Carolinamay display a considerable quantity of grit In throwing themselves upon ' the track in front of the constitutional amendment, but they do not show any unduefcmount of judgment. The southern. Republicans in the different states where legislation eliminating the , negro from politics is proposed, will no doubt, in all cases op pose it. That is where they are making a mistake, and the fact that southern republicans are fighters rather than phi losophers accounts for it.' .; Somewhere on the dial of fateitis.writ ten that negro suffrage as it has been practiced in the south must come to an end, and the index hand is fast approach ing that point. Now if the Bepublicans would only see this, accept it and make the most of it, they would be philoso phers. Their eyes seem to be incapable of looking above the very low horizon of the immediate spoils table. Could they lift them higher, look further into the future, things might take on an alto gether different glow. One by one the southern states are taking measures to faact into law such provisions as will Lar the negro. This is largely, if not polely, the cause for the revision "of ths reconstruction constitutions. The south is becoming settled In this line of policy f nd must finally win. That is why the republicans are unwiae in opposing it from the standpoint of their party's in terest. It is coming sooner or later, and if the Republican party staves it off for a I.: krty: :; --..:!

All -'s. t while it will be so much the worse for that party There is no doubt that if the negro were once ont of the way the Republican party would be a great deal stronger in the south among white peo ple than it is. Now, instead of taking advantage of this fact and further strengthening itself with the white peo- le by nelDinjr them to put the negro out, t will have laid up an additional griev ance against itself by having sought to defeat that object. There is no . reason why the south should not in, a few jears go into the line of doubtful ' states were the negro out of politics. So if the Re publican politicians could lift their eyes to the future tney would see tneir iony of opposing the elimination of the negro vote. We have said that such elimination is bound to come. It is as certain as was abolition. The conscience of the nation is being aroused on this subject. The sentiment is not confined to tne soutn So much so is this true that if the amend ment were to fail this ' year, the result would only be delayed. Ana even u tne supreme court were to declare it uncon stitutional, we veniy believe tnat tne re sult would., likewise, be but delayed. This is one of those things thatare bound to happen as tne mere result ol tne nt ness of things if for no other reason, and in which a way will be found or made. The movement in North Carolina this year is but a breaker on the ocean, a mere spray thrown np fromthe great sea of sentiment and feeling upon this subiect. ; The Republicans of the south are not wise in their day and generation. BRITISH ADVANCE. Next Great Battle Will Open South of Johannesburg, , So Experts Think. London, May 25. Another advance along the railroad toward iretona nas broucrht Lord Robert's troops to Vrede. port Road, a few miles north of rrospect, wnere tney arrived at noona nursaay. Meanwhile Gen. Methuen is progressing along the southern bank . of , the Vaal Biver. with the object possibly of making a aasn at juerssaorp, wnen ne amves ODDOBite that railroad terminus. tren. liutton's column is apparently in the neighborhood of Vredeport, fifteen miles west of the railroad, whence it threatens the Federals' rurht flank. , The best opinion is that the next big ensraeement will be fought just soutn of Johannesburg and that the fight there and possibly one at Icing's JNet, will prove the last pitched battles of the war. The latest indications point to the latter being the more stubborn; of the two. It is hoped here that Gen. Buller will delay until Lord Roberts is able, to detach a force .to . seize UeidiDerg and sever railroad communication between Johannesburg and Laing's Nek. ' Hunter at Vryburg. ' Warreuton.

Gen. French has reached Prospect station, abou five miles north of Rbenoster river. The Boers are retreating on the Vaal. A dispatch from Rhenoster, dated May 23. 7:45 o. m.. says: "The general opin ion is that we will arrive at Pietoria as fast as we can march, though the Boers announced to all the country that they intended to fight to the death. Gen. Ian Hamilton is co-ooerating in the advance on the right. Thus Lord Roberts, who Ereeumably is a lew miles bemnn uen. 'rench. will reach the Vaal before the end of the week.

The attendance at the congressional convention at Goldsboro was almost as large as at a State convention,' and by representative men irom every county. There', were about 75 from Lenoir county, and they - were a .fine looking body of men. Lenoir county bad more fun out of the balloting than any other county. - While the other counties voted the same way nearly every time until towards the end. the Lenoir county del egation was more liberal. All the names before the convention were ?of excellent gentlemen; and Lenoir complimented tbem all with handsome votes during the large number of ballots, even going .; to the extent of giving each candidate the county's full vote during successive bal lots., Of course when one of the candi dates received 82 votes from Lenoir it set bis county delegation to yelling and cheering to its full capacity. Thus did Lenoir lend variety and spice to the otherwise tedioueness of the same vote by the other counties for the several candidates. . , ' The convention unanimously and en thusiastically adopted the following: : "Resolved, That we see irf the recent unseating of the Hon. William T. Craw ford, the duly elected representative of the ninth congressional district, by the vote of Geo. U White, the negro repre sentative from this, the second district, a new illustration of the dangerous power of the negro vote in North Caro lina, and we hereby pledge the people of our State that we will do our full duty towards righting that wrong to the ninth district, and that disgrace to the second." . . ; , And the Democrats of the district will see to it that no matter who the fusion ists may nominate, Claude Kitchin will be elected by such an overwhelming ma jority as will spread dismay in the ranks of those who favor negro rule. : Although - the contest was so close, warm and long, yet the utmost harmony prevailed. There was not a bitter word uttered, ! The New-Observer flayBi is a good thing for the congressional aspirants in the other seven districts that Capt. W. H. Kitchin's sons all live in the second and fifth districts. . ' Mr. Claude Kitchin is one of the ablest young men in North. Carolina, and bis friends predict for him a brilliant future in congress. As a lawyer he ranks high, and few men in the State are his equal an a campaign speaker. ' Eloquent, sincere and logical in what he says, he always makes a great Impression on his bearers. Mr. Kitchin was born March 26. 1869. He was educated at Wake Forest College, graduating there in 1888. Since then he has elevated himself to the practice of law and has been singularly successful. In party councils he has stood high, and in recent campaigns he has done most effective work for Democracy. Mr. Kitchin says: "I shall not begin my campaign for election to congress until after the August election. Until then I shall have but one thought in any canvass I shall make the amendment. Of course I shall continue my canvass for that, going wherever the State commit tee may see fit to send me. After the amendment is adopted I shall begin my canvass of my own district." Base Ball.

Haw Woald Yob Hav Said Itt There is much In the way a thing is said. "Your 'cheeks are like roses," said Aunt Flora when Lois came in from a Jannary walk, glowing from the cold and exercise. Lois smiled and looked lovingly at Aunt Flora. Aunt Margaret entered the room a minute later and glancing at Lois as he stood Jby the fire said: "My! Your face is as red as a beet!" The red grew deeper on Lois' face, while unconsciously she turned petu lantly away from Aunt Margaret, who prides herself on being "plain spoken." Aunt Flora's way Is best. She can say the right word at the right time, too, even the word of admonition and reproof, but she says It In such a man ner that one can think only of the Scriptural "apples of gold In pictures of silver."

Fayetteville has been raised to be a second class postofflce and the post master's salary is now f 2,000. This means better service and probably free delivery will follow.

But there were something like 958 doeen eggs sold. Some ' of the stores we could not get to and some did not remember exactly. No doubt it will reach 1000.

An unknown . three-masted schooner is off Whale's I Head life-saving station on the North . Carolina coast 'tonight; flying distress signals and asking for assistance. The velocity of the northeast wind on the coast is 40 miles an hour, the sea is run- . ning heavily and the schooner, with her crew. is in imminent danger. She has for four hours been showing distress signals, and wreckers here were telegraphed, ask ing that they send a tug. The Merritts say they fear to send even their great tug out in the face of the pre vailing 'storm, and 'the life-savers at Whalers Head, who fear to attempt to launch a boat into the heavy surf, are ' standing by, expecting to rescue the crew in the breeches buoy should the schooner ' drag ashore, which it now appears prob able she will do. She is a lanre schooner. south-bound, apparently loaded, but is without a deck load. Her steering gear , appears to be disabled and ail her sails ' ' " are furled.
