against the amendment. We do not be
lieve that eren one white boy in Lenoir
county who become, of ag after 1908
and haa a deeire to vote but will be able
to do so. A boy who to any account wil
want to vote and will certainly learn
enough to vote. Iu threemonth any
white boy can' learn at night enough
reading and writing to qualify a an
elector.
The amendment will stop 80,000 to
90,000 negroes from voting and will not
BtOD even one white North Carolinian
from voting. We state an absolute truth
in bo saying, and we will give $10 to
any man who will prove to the contrary

this offer. If they can prove what they
say. they can earn tbia ? 10, and make
much capital for the Degro party. But
they can't prove what they say, for the
very simple reason that they are lying.

The clergyman who opened Mf. Han

mighty "Thy thoughts are not jour

which bold admission was loudly ap

The opponent of the amendment have
given up all serious argument against
that measure, knowing they can offer
none, but are energetic in hatching and
circulating misrepresentations and absur
dities, and these are falling still-born,
their very weakness causing them to die
a-borning, truly says the Raleigh Post.
The negroes are tickled muchly when
they hear a white man arguing " 'gi'nst
de 'mendment" The negroes think such
a white man more like themselves, and
will be willing to vote for such white
men for office if the amendment should be
defeated. On the other band, true white
men should carefully note such false
white men and decline to ever vote for
them for anything. True white men
must stand together
It has developed that Senator Butler
got his Republican friends in congress
shortly before adjournment, to provide
his henchman, J. R. Lloyd, with a "mes
senger" job at f 1,440 per annum. Since
then Lloyd has been out to Sioux Falls
''with Butler, and is now working to help
the Republicans carry North Carolina
But the people will not be longer fooled
by such "pie-triots," who have "waxed
fat" at the people's expense.
, Whenever a negro votes for the Demo
cratic party be is turned out of church
and ostracised by bia race; in many in
stances be is handled violently by bia
race. The white man who vote for the
negro party ought to be frowned upon
by the true white people. Now is the
time for all white men to stand together.
If the amendment is adopted it will not
disfranchise any white man; it will cause
the white boys to obtain some schooling
before 11)08; it will take the negroes out
of politics, and cause them to be better

toward white people, and they will be
lesa impndent and more polite.
