Some of the newspaper have disco vera! that the race question is forever settled In North Carolina. They have penetrating optics. So far as the amendment is con cerned, it does not go into effect until twenty-two months more have passed. If the pugnacious Republicans can possi bly prevent it, it will never go into effect. It is a powerful and far reaching law to settle the most vexing question of this age in so far as the south is concerned the question of illiterate Sambo and his vote-and nearly two years before ib be gins operating as a law. What a pity it was not tried long ago. It would "from many a blunder" have freed North Caro lina. The race question is settled, quoth the Solomons for all time. So do not dare henceforth to make any reference to the history of negro rule in North Caro lina for thirty years, apd tread gingerly when McKlnley is named and do not make any reference to his appointments of negro officials in the south and par ticularly in eastern North Carolina. It is cruel to wound his very tender sensi bilities and it Is a great crime to say ought of twenty-seven negro postmasters for North Carolina, seven of whom are known here to have been rogues. The "race question Is settJed." If true, fire an hundred rounds by all the military and 'let the people rejoice in mighty shoutings. Wilmington Messenger. The Republicans have begun to show ' great activity. The executive committee held a meeting in Greensboro Monday to arrange for the coming campaign. Sen- ajr Prltchard was elected chairman to succeed Hoi ton. Prltchard announces he will have a number of noted speakers from other states to speak in North Carolina. A special from Washington says Prltchard has gone to New York to consult the Republican authorities m re gard to the political situation in this State. ' The dispatch aays while many of the Republicans feel that there is no show to carry the State for McKlnley, Senator Prltchard is not downcast over the meant election and feels that an effort properly supported by the administration will lead to success in the State and will retain one or two congressional districts. He intends in a quiet way, so as not to arouse alarm, to endeavor, if possible, to accomplish this result. Senator Prltchard knows that North Carolina will not only go for Bryan but will elect nine Democratic congressmen This is the same old bluster and show of fight the Republicans of North Caro lina make every four years to get their finger in the campaign fund of the na tional Republican committee. It is said $60,000 was sent to North Carolina in 1896 to carry the State for McKluley. This is the stuff. The Mt. Olive Adver tiser says this: "As a rote for McKlnley means an endorsement of the negro post master at Mt. Olive, it Is safe to announce that the solid white vote of this place will be coat for William J. Bryan." RALEIGH BUSINESS MEN. They Waat tb State Repreaeated at th Paa-Aiaerleaa.

It was Germany In the middle of the last century. Herr Klopstock, with his soul in his words, was writing bis wonderful po em, the "Messiah." He did not know It was to bring him faint? as the first of the great German poeta. He did not even guess that it was to win love for. him. He published It aud then waited. In Ilajiibunr Meta Moller read the great poem aud was charmed by it She talked of it; she wrote of It to her friends. Every cue knew Meta longed to meet the poet. Then he came to Hamburg, and a friend told him of Meta and showed her letters, full of praises of his poem. His Interest was awakened, and he went to see her. lie found a beautiful girl, with long Qaxen braids of hair and deep blue eyes. The dainty freshness of her fair face was brightened by the pale blue bodice she wore. But Klopstock Ki'iircely noticed her lovol'.nes's. He thought only of her mind. They talked of bis poem, then of others. Meta bad rend much. She knew the l.tii'.tae of literature of oth i : countries besides her owu. But she wns not only learned she wns gentle and sympathetic. Soon the poet was telling her of his early strug gle and of his heartaches for a lost love. 'Br.t why do I tell you my troubles. Frauleln Moller V" he Bald wondertngly. "I am almost a stranger to you." "You are not a stranger to me." re plied Meta softly. "1 have known you a long time." For a few days they saw each other constantly. M eta's sympathy had eas ed the pain at the poet's Jjeart. When they parted. It was with promises to write. For eight months they corresponded, but not as lovers. They wrote only of poetry, philosophy never of them selves. Then Herr Klopstock returned to Hamburg. "Meta," be cried, "I have learned to love you!" But the girl was troubled. "Why do you talk of love?" she said. "We are friends, dear friends, but only friends." For a time he pleaded in vain; then she yielded so far as to whisper, "Walt" The end of the year came and with it Meta's lover. She did not meet him as before, with frank, kind eyes that gazed straight Into-his. Instead she looked shyly down, and the pink In her cheek deepened. "My darling." cried the poet, "you love me! I see It in your face. Do not tell me It Is not true." "Yea" she confessed. "It Is , true. But," seriously, "that Is not enough, My mother will not allow our marriage, There Is some one else, ne Is rich." "Who Is he?" exclaimed Klopstock hoarsely. He had turned ashen pale. "Ills name Is August Hoffman. He Is a merchant and has warehouses and ships. Alas, he Is wealthy !" and the girl sighed. "Let me see your mother," said Klop stock eagerly. "It Is useless," replied Meta sadly. But she led blm to ber mother. The Fran Moller was obdurate. "I have my daughter's welfare at heart." she said coldly. "You have fame. It Is true, but you cannot support her on that. I Intend to see that she Is comfortably settled In life." "But we love each other," entreated Klopstock. "Meta would be happier with me, even though we had little, than In luxury with a man she did not love." "You must allow me to judge what Is best for my daughter." returned Fran Moller. much displeased, and. rising, she waved him from the room. "At least." sobbed Meta. when she bade her lover farewell. "I cannot be forced to marry Herr Hoffman. If I may not marry you. I can remain sin gle." Frau Moller hoped that Meta would soon yield and accept the easy life and luxury which were offered to her. Bot time passed on. and she still refused to listen to the man of ber mother's choice. . Then the mother's heart relented, and she rewarded the two years' constancy of the lovers. With her consent the poet claimed his bride and carried ber off to a rose embowered cottage on the banks of the hcsutlful Rhine. Thetrs Is a perfect union. Long after her marriage Meta wrote to a friend : "I can write and speak of nothing now but love. It has been all of my life since first I read my dear hus band's great poem. I loved him then, though I did not know It Now I am so happy In the. fulfillment of my love. His poems are to me like sweetest mu sic. After all onr troubles the great est Joy Is ours. And Herr Klopstoch said: "The world calls some of my poems great but greater, grander, sweeter than any of them Is tha cn written poem of cor beautlfcl lote."- fit Louis Bur. aaaaaaaaaBBBaaSMSBaaaaaaaa Get your ne'zfcbor to rabecribe to Tn Fsxxrsxss.
