arucie aoes not answer our
position that Pnblic Policy,
towit, the encouragement of
education, requires the limit.
Of course the. racial superior
ity of the whites will
continue forever. Public
good requires, the education
of all citizens. And, while
an uneducated white person,
by reason of race, is as a rule,
a better citizen than any ne
gro,the intelligence, educa
tion will give, will make
him a more judicious elector.
So, because of racial inferior
ity an ignorant negro is not
worthy, of the elective fran
chise at all; yet education
will, as a rule, better qualify
him, hence, public policy
encourages him : to learn to
read and improve his intelli
gence, so that he may be, at
least, better qualified for the
Policy and public good de
mand and require the exclu
sion from - the privilege of
voting of all who cannot read
and write a section of the
constitution in the English
languaga r vlf if so demands,
then the public good is held
in abeyance until .1908. Ac
cording to the Dr's argument,
Public j?olicand: Public
Good demands and requires
the exclusion of all illiterates
after 1908. Again, if racial

i QUARANTINE RAISED.
Last week, we established
quarantine against the Davie
record. We now raise it.
A word of explanation is nec
essary. anel liecord. week
before last, by a . most outra
geous article of. persona
abuse and ridicule, left; the
iRurn-lNDEx. no other course
inan to cease j all intercourse
with it or to engage in a con
test of bitter ! personalities.
We chose to adopt the former
course. But,; in j last week's
issue the the Record has an
article which, Iwjbile it violates
ine rules of discussion in
usingf personal address, is not
offensive, like "the article ? of
the week before, " hence we
resume , exchange, and, to
treat the Recod with perfect
fairness, we copy its article
of last week, published: in re
ply ta the article' of the
Truth-Index which answered
a . question propounded by

the Record the
it wrote the grossly insulting
week before
article;
The Tbutu-Index would
not have answered the ques
tion of the Record at all, if
the editor had not: in a letter
promised the editor of the
Tuutii-Index to publish the
answer aud not tip use per
sonalities and harsh expres
sions in reply. The Record
did publish our article, hence
. we publish that part- of 5his
reply relative to the question
and .our answer. We add:
Of course wejworild not liave

withstanding the promises of
thei editor of the Record to tional for all tim?. v, ai

insulting article I appeared. Omit the small caps, and
you nave it as quoted by the
ting from Teuth Index's , write a section of the consti
sfatement , of .the question jtution in ' the English lan
changes its meaning and gives , gnage is manifestly, and un-
Liie xvecoru an opportunity to questionably against civilian..

question; oecause tne Record an educated citizenship and
containing it had been' inad-'you don't show yodf . consis-
veriantiy aestroyed before
we-wrote. Now, that all may
see we give the question, as
stated by the Truth-Index.
putting the words omitted bv
the Record in small- caps, so
every one can see the altera
tion made by the Record and
judge how useless its "com
ments, with reference to it.
The Record's article pub
lished below gives the orkri
nal question: , We respect
fully submit that the a ues -
tion as stated by the .Truth-
Index and the original which
is found in i the Record's
article are substantially the
same. :," : .,:V-V;
Here is our statement:
uThe Record's question is
m substance this: If Caucas
ian blood and intelligence'and
experience and training make
it right and constitutional for
a white person 'that cannot
read to vote up to 1908, why
ia it noi ngut and constitu

this State of fine see, pos
sessed of the highest jiihtegri

and good horse; seise than
many of the educateoi. Now

allowed to register And vote

three days after our "insolvency"

America, announcing the ship

tirely outside , and disinterested
standpointquite aside from" my
business relations with this com
pany I regret the senseless -scare
of, last week. ' As a citizen of
Salisbury . I deplore any attempt
to'discredit a local enterprise of
such magnitude, and I take this
opportunity to express my grate
ful . recognition of the sensible
stand taken by the Truth-Index,
which at this juncture has plainly
shown itself to be a friend both" to
the ; best interests of Salisbury
and of Mr.5 Newman. I have rea
son to believe that this much! ado
about nothing owed its origin to
the utterances of a disgruntled
