" k CASK IS NEVER EMPTY. For Year Wine la Drawn From to Celebrate Great Eventa. it All really excellent champagne is the result of judicious blending. Time was when ; each big vineyatd owner had his o'wn"c'ellar and his own brand. But it has been found advantageous to sell the raw wine to dealers, who make one district supply what another lacks, But there are still a few provincial establishments that cling to the old ways crowning with a wreath of flow ers the first tubful of ripe grapes and keeping "the bride of the cellar" full from year to year. The bride, be it understood, Is a spe cial wine cask filled with the first run nlng of the press. More accurately It holds the Juice which drips away be fore any pressure is applied. ' Wine from It is never sold, but used npon high days and holidays, passed about as a gift or devoted to the comfort of the sick and the poor. - Something akin to the bride exists In the German free cities. Each of them has a wine cellar, and in each cellar there Is a cask always yielding wine. but never empty, . Any burgher Is entitled to demand a bottle of Its contents when he marries when his first son is christened and also when the son is 2L If the son Is adventurous or the burgher himself, for that matter, he gets another bottle from' the cask when he comes home from far countries. But there Is an official specially charged to see that whenever a bottle- ful is drawn out another bottlefm of as near as possible the same quality at once goes In. And thus it happens that the city cask is never empty. Boston Globe. ' - '. Tae Eacllah Way. ' Fights are a recognized' part of the school education among the boys in England.

A REPUBLICAN LIE Their Lie About Gov. Heard and Louisiana Amendment Fully Ex posed. ' The Republicans have been circulating a printed circular claiming that, in . bis inaugural address Gov. Heard, of Louis iana, made a statement to the effect that the new constitutional amendment of that state disfranchised illiterate white men as well as ignorant negroes. Hon F. M. Simmons, chairman Democratic State executive committee, sent a copy of that campaign circular, to tiov. Heard asking if he meant by his inaugural ad dress to imply that any white men had been disfranchised, and also whaf had been the effect of the amendment in his state as to uneducated white voters. His answer is as follows: Stat of Louisiana, t x Executive Department. I Baton Rouge, June 9th, 11)00 Hon. F. M. Simmons, Chairman Demo cratic Executive Committee, Raleigh, Dear Sir Your letter of the 6th iost received with enclosed printed circular giving extracts from my inaugural ad dress. The conclusion drawn Irom these ex tracts by the publisher of this circular, are not warranted,; and the statement contained in the circular to the effect that the Democratic party had deprived any white people in (Louisiana of their right of suffrage, is notvtrue. Under the new constitution of Louisiana, adopted in 1898, there is an educational or prop erty qualification required. This educa tional qualification is thaf "he "hall be able to read and write," and a simple test of this is required in the shape of a blank form of application' to be filled out by the applicant. If the citizen cannot read and write but is possessed of $300 worth of property assessed for taxes, he is thereby qualified, 'But our constitu tion went further and provided that no male person who was, on January 1st, 1867, or at any prior, date, entitled to vote in any state of .the United States, and the eons and grandsons of any such person, should be denied the right to vote because he haa not tne educational or property quahflcaJionv This provis- (snv ifrrrhinfa 'ruuiAma Irnnnm a a ."fiartf irvr 5," opened the door to practically every white man in the state, whether rich or poor, educated or illiterate. It was fur thermore provided that ' those claiming the right of suffrage .under this section, should nave tne privilege or going on a permanent registration roll, to be put on record in the office of the secretary of state) so that no registration officer, or other official, could ever deprive them of their risht to vote. The reference to the beneficial effects of t,h annrAo-A. mpntmnpri in mvinAiionirnl address, was in general terms, and con sideredfrom a general standpoint the vast improvement in the electorate of the state, since the elimination of the anre mass of negro- voters. Our people are, of course, all laminar with our But frage and election laws, and it was not necessary to go into details on such an occasion. I regret that anyone outside of Louis iana should have used my remark to misrepresent the action of the Democratic party of my state, which has ever been the true friend of all classes of white peo ple within her borders. y very reepectiuiiy, W. W. Heard. What Gov. Heard really said in his inaugural address was this: 1 he wise limitation of suffrage, under the present constitution, to a property owning and intelligent electorate, has served to eliminate from the exercise of the suffrage the vast mass of venality and ignorance which has heretofore been a constant menace to good government. These limitations and restrictions of the franchise, eliminate from the electo rate a large portion of the negroelement, thus committing the destinies of the com monwealth to the, hands of its white citizens. "This was done for the purpose of pro tecting not only the white, but the col- oren race as well, irom tne evils oi cor rupt government and " to preserve the rights and liberties of both. It therefore becomes an imperative duty, now more than ever before, to deal justly and fairly with this class of Our people, and to see to it that they are fully protected in' the enjoyment of their rights of person and property, and to insure tne betterment and elevation of their moral and material condition." , This language is plain and leaves no room lor the misrepresentation" em ployed by the black and tan campaign managers. - What Louisiana Congressmen Say. The black and tan campaign scribblers continue to lie about the ffer t of the constitutional amendment ia Louisiana. We have given the testimony of the chief public ofiicials and educators in Louis iana, and the observation of others who have visited that state. Ik-low we add to other testimony the opinion of four of the repn-sentativea ia congress from that late: IIoae of EepiwrstativMi. Washington, Joss 4th, 1&U0. We. the cr..ierrgndi rsemrs of con- fq irom ,.t state of Loc-ioins, state at the f ul'rr anteamest to the coa- stitution of Louisiana is giving great sat isfaction to the people ot the state. There is no longer any question being made as to its constitutionality, and that while it has eliminated the ignorant negro vote, it has not disfranchised the uneducated native born white man.

Raleigh, June 12. Two sessions were held today, both of them short. The first met at noon the senate being in session but a few minutes and the house nearly an hour. Both bodies then ad journed out of respect to the memory of deceased members. The afternoon ses sion was at 4 o'clock and lasted about the same length of time as the morning sension. Of the 120 representatives 84 answered the first roll call, and of the 70 senators 44 were present. Of the remaining 36 members of the bouse three have died and three have resigned. Both houses in their deliberations ad hered strictly to the caucus agreement of the night before not to go into general legislation until the election law and the constitutional amendment are disposed Of. The election law, as amended, will be passed tomorrow on its final reading, having passed first and second readings today. , Though there. are a crreat number of changes in the law, they are for the most part of minor importance, some of them being the change ot only a word or date The principal changes relate to the method of ascertaining the right of the applicant to register. Mr. Francis D. Winston, who had charge of the bill on the floor, said that the law had been coangea so as to simplify the require ments wnen tne applicant is known to the registrar. In those cases the law re mains the same as it was prior to 1895. But in cases of persons whose identity is not known to the registrar, and for the purpose of ascertaining the rieht of such applicant to register and vote, the registrar is given larger powers.. , Touching sections ba and ei). io regard w lujuucuou or manuamus against eiec tion officers by the supreme court be said: 'The fusion election law introduced into our political system the right of the udiciary to supervise the political branch of the government. While all vestige of the fusion election law has been wiped off of our statute books, and no such provision is in our law, we have simnlv removed from some of the judges the temptation to invade the domain of pol itics with judicial writs. The effect of this will be simply to let these write issue only after all the facts have been found by a jury at a regular term of the court.' At the afternoon session the senate adopted a resolution correcting the sen ate journal, wmcu contained an error regarding charter of Kinston, bo as to permit Kinston to issue bonds.

One Chinese has been retired and four Manchus. rigid I v conservative,' have been appointed. nnceuning, tne oniy member with a knowledge of foreign affairs, has been superseded by Prince Tuan. a Dowerful supporter ot tne uoxer brotherhood. The Times, commenting upon the reor ganization of the Tsung Li Yamen, con siders its significance unmistakable and says:.-"" .-"-'-..- It means that the Empress Dowager has finally thrown off the mask and has resolved to stake everything on her anti- foreign policy. Prince Tuau is a creature of the Empress, one of the chief patrons of the Boxers and a representative of the most reactionary party in China. If the Empress is to have her way, the position of no foreign - power in China will be worth a month's purchase, and western civilization will disappear from the country altogether." , - .

Congressman Linney makes the state ment that Gov. Russell's denunciation of Richard Pearson gave the latter his seat in congress. Edenton Courier: Quite a sad accident occurred at Mr. Elliott's last Thursday evening. While Charles Williams, one of the tenants, was feeding the team, a mule kicked his little boy, breaking the skull bone, which resulted in his death Sunday night. Last Friday a little child of Mr. Hamp ton Fowler, who ' lives three or four miles north of Monroe, was swinging in a common rope swing. In some manner the child got the rope around its neck, lost its hold on tbo seat and was strangled to death. Mr. Richard Battle, well known as a newspaper man, has returned to this state and accepted a- position on the News and Observer, with which paper he was formerly connected. The News and Observer is to be congratulated upon again securing his services. Warren ton Record: A very strange thing occurred at Johnson's store last Saturday night. One of the large elec tric burner lamp chimneys became so hot as to melt and change its shape and yet did not break The heat must have, been great and the chimney must have been of extra good glass. Greensboro Record: This morning at the Southern railway station was a man with more legs than the law allowed him. He had four, but seemed to be able to get along very picelyi There was an extra limb on each leg, put they were of the requisite length, each growing par tially on the inside of the usual limb. Most of us have too much tongue but it is seldom a man is seen with too many legs. , Charlotte Observer: ; On Thursday night Titus Coble, a white man from Big Lick, istanly county, was arrested by Deputy Marshal D.

On account of the Craig 'investigation" act fourteen withdrew. Some others entered. The number now Is 149. The receipts to the State for the twelve months aggregate $95,514. or more than $12,000 in excess of an v. year previous. This is evidence that the Craig uct didn't drive them all out, as there are twenty more doing business here now than when the act went into effect.. - . '.'V i ;. :.v- . . Raleigh Cor. Mes?engerr The Republi can attitude towards the constitutional amendment is laughably absurd. One western Republican member of the legis- ature said be would attend the seesion for the sole purpose of raising the quev tion of a quorum, let one of the chief things this legislature proposes to do is to meet the very objection which the Republicans have raised against the amendment; that is, to add a new see-' tion providing that it shall stand or fall ns a whole. This is exactly what the Republicans have declared they wanted. and yet in the face of this they want to now make the point of no quorum. They will have their trouble lor their pains. here will be far more than a quorum. Greensboro Patriot: Mr. John A. riti-bett. of this city, the real head of the Republican party in Guilford county ever since the war between the states. has publicly announced bin intention to upport the constitutional amendment. Mr. Pritchett has been inslici of the peace here for over thirty years ' He was elect ed to the legislature in 1871 and again. in 18 8 when no other man of his party ; had the remotest chance of being elected to the place. When a man of 'Squire Pritchett s standing and intelligence con tends that the principle involved in the amendment are worthy of support and hrowe etude for the moment his par- tifcanship to vote for the supreroancy of race that produces such men as be. then it is that other of like political filiation will find courage Ito acknowl- edg what they know in "UVr hearts is right, viz: that the adoption of the mend men t will prove a blessing to North Carolina, and likewise give it v .if ir ua'juaueu euppur.
