Sections 4 and. 5 have been consolidated so lhat if any part of the amendment is declared unconstitutional it all becomes null and void. The time in which to pay poll taxes has been extended from March first to May first. The chief objections to the amendment have been overcome. It is now certain that nt native born white man will be disfranchised under its provis ions and that it will disfranchise three fourths of the negroes. It is the duty of every white man who love's bis State and his race to sup port it, and most of them will. After amending the amendment and the election law, the Legislature passed some bills of more or less im portance to individuals and sections but none of local interest to our peo pie, and took a recess until July 24tb. This action was taken so that the representatives of the people could be prepared to checkmate any ac tion the fusion judiciary might take to interfere with the electiomofficers in t,he performance of their duties. The most important amendment to the election law is the one which requires all election matters to be tried before a jury and abolishes 'government by injunction'" as far as elections are concerned. The Legislature did its-work well and it also did well to take a recess in stead of adjourning. . - Crisp, the young Republican dep uty postmaster, candidate for the Legislature and county chairman of Caldwellcounty,will not be so ready in the future to make bluffs at Dem ocrats as he was at Lenoir last Thursday. He said, if Mr. Ay cock would swear that the amendment woulddisfranchise no white man, he would make an affidavit that he would vote for it. Mr. Aycock promptly made the affidavit, Crisp is sworn to support the amendment, and the radicals of Caldwell are on the lookout for another candidate for the Legislature and a new coun ty chairman. Crisp had read the false charges in the Winston Repub lican, Asheville Gazette, Butler's Caucasian and other fusion papers, and had come to the belief that the Democratic speakers were insin- eore when they said the amendment would not disfranchise white men. His proposition was a pure bluff, and now that it was called -he is a wiser, if a sadder, young man. . - The Republicans have a great deal to say about the election law. The law- is intended to stop 18- ye&f'Old and transient negroes from voting, and thereby have" fair elec tions in the Statfe. Every white man, no matter what his politics, is protected in hia,right to vote, but it will be hard for stray negroes to get registered. At every election for the last thirty years every 18 year old negro, who wantedto, has registered and voted. The present law makes it hard for them to do this this year. As far as Iredell county is concerned, and we know what we are writing about, no qual ified white voter let him be Demo crat, Republican or Populist need have any uneasiness about getting registered and voting this year. We believe this is true all over North Carolina. We ksow that itfis in Iredell county. But it is proposed that the negroes who are not quali fied to vote, and many such have been in the habit of voting in this county, shall not vote. The elec tion law is all right for honest men. Mr.. Aycock is the greatest North Carolina orator. His speech here Saturday was grand in conception and execution. Convincing as an argument and perfect as an oration, his sarcasm was withering and his wit convulsing. He showed beyond question that no white man, would be disfranchised under the propos ed amendment and that most of the in burning words the necessity for the disfranchisement of the negroes and aroused the pride of Anglo Sax ons in their race. He did more he aroused the Democrats of Iredell county to a sense of their duty and the enthusiasm which he created will permeate every corner of the old county where itwill bear fruit on elec tion day in an old time Democratic majority. After Vance's death the Democratic party of North Carolina had no great leader, but one has aris en. Like the great war Governor, he comes from the plain people and talks so as to reach their hearts and consciences. His name is Charles B. Aycock and his career will snly end with his life. May it be a long one! "After suffering from piles tor fifteen years I was cured by using I two boxes of DeWitt's Witch Hazel 'Salve," writes W. J. Baxter, North Brook, N. C It heals everything.

Turner's Magnificent Speech. Winnie Special to News and Observer, 15th. The Hon: W. D. Turner spoke at this place to the largest audience ever assembled at this place to hear apolitical speech. Democrats, Re publicans and Populists accompani ed by their wives and sweethearts turned out to hear him, and they went away glad they had come. Any attempt to give a synopsis of his speech would be so manifestly unjust to the speaker t hat 1 will not attempt it. Suffice to say that it was the best, the cleaiest, the sim plest, the most logical, the most convincing argument I ever heard. The people were eager to hear and I have never seen a speaker given such close attention. For two hours he held thenrspell bound, and at the close you-would hear on every side the expression. It was the best speech I ever heard. "" A great 'deal of good was accom plished. Numbers of men said they had been opposed to the amendment but now they were convinced and would vote for it. If such a speech could be made in every community in the State there would be no doubt about the result in August. A Political Outrage la Stokes County Pilot Mountain Special to Raleigh News and Observer, 15th. One of the most brutish and cow ardly assaHlts that has occurred in our good State was committed on Saturday, in Stokes county at Boy- ler stoje. Col. VY addell had spoken to a good crowd and after the speaking Thos. Gree,n, an old gentleman of seventy years of age,highly respect ed, talking to a crowd of people standing by said that he was a Re publican, but so sure as he lived to see the 1st Thursday in August he was going to vote for the Consti tutional Amendment. As soon as he made the remark and for no other provocation, one Andy Voss knocked the old man down and would have stamped him but for the interference of friends. Could anything be more cowardly orruffianish? An old gentleman seventy years old, so feeble that he had to carry two sticks for sup port, knocked dewn by a strong young man for no other -purpose than that he said he would vote for the Amendment. He Fooled The Surgeons. All doctors told Renick Hamilton, of West Jefferson, O.. after suffer ing 18 months from Rectal Fistula, he would die unless a costly opera tion was performed; but he cured himself with five boxes of Bucklen's l Arnica Salve, the surest Pile cure on earth, and the best salve in the ! world.. 25 cents a box at W.

Dr. Reeves, the Democratic mem ber of the Legislature from Alle ghany county, and Miss Lena Wel born, of "ilkesboro, were married at Wilkesboro last week. They spent their honeymoon in Raleigh, where Dr. Reeves attended the spe cial session of the Legislature. At the Halloway copper mine in Granville county, one day last week, a negro named Stahfield fell down a shaft 150 feet and landed in a tub of three-inch drills each several feet in length. Three of these drills went through the negro's body, entering the abdomen and coming out his back. In removing them all of his eutrials were pulled out, but notwithstand ing his fearful injuries, he lived over two hours and was conscious until within 4 minutes of his death. He laughed and talked and did not seem to be in any misery whatever, in fact, he said repeatedly that be would not die from the effects of his fall. The mins is 400 feet deep. Wreck Just This Side ot Asheville. Asheville Dispatch, 15th Vestibule train No. 36, carrying, besides the regular cars, three Pull mans, with the 135 members of the Tennessee Press Association, who spent part of yesterday and last night here, left the track at Gash's creek, four miles from here, at G:40 this morning. The colore"d fireman, Richardson, maj' die from his injuries. The accident occurred on a fill 100 yards long, with a stone bridge 40 high in the midddle. Two engines were drawing the heavy train at a good speed, No 232 being in front of the regular engine, No. 822, wlien the second engine left the track just east of the culvert. It broke loose from No. 232 and somersaulted down the embankment, dragging the com bination baggage and express and two passenger cars with it. It was completely stripped of stack, tend er and about everything -that could come off, sand the second car lies ou top of it., The first car is near the bottom, stripped of trucks. The second passenger car is tilted up on the engine in a dangerous position,' so that no one enters it. Ihe pas sengers int his car, no. 1,230, received terrific jolts. It is doubted if it can be gotten back on the track. The The ends of two cars are smashed, but they are not telescoped. The Pullman car, Mimas, is off the track, but is little injured. The track is all torn up, even the cross- ties being out of place, so that it is impossible to tell the cause of the accident, Richardson the colored hreman, was on the engine next the train Do was buried beneath the scrap iron from the engine. Engin eer Welch, of this engine, received only a slight injury on the hand. Baggage-Master VV. K. ivuiiannaaa marvelous escape from death.

A visit to the wreck shows a nar row 'escape i roma greater disaster than the Statesville or Bostian s bridge wreck. A;Small hillock arose from the cavity below the nil, tneeu- gine struck this and the combination baggage and express car leaping over the car, stuck on the hill and the baggage and- mail, resting in turn against each other, held the passenger cars on the track, for the hillock all would have gone. An examination of the track shows splinters of steel from the rails, caused by a wheel slipping inside, spreading the track. Senator Jackson Dies in Raleigh. Raleigh Dispatch, 15th.

The Membership of the House Alter nils t'ensns. Washington Dispatch, 15th. -When Chairman Hopkins, of the House committev on census, under takes, at the next session of Con gress to bring in a bill for the re apportionment of representation in the House he wiil find himself con fronted by a difficult and delicate task. Mr. Hor.kii s may presc.it one of two bills. increasing the ratio of represe. ion or one in creasing the n.-erabership of the House by providing for additional members according to the present ratio of about 176,000. Both solu tions of the problem are open to ob jection. The membership of the House is already dab, and the hall is crowded almost to its limit. Addi tional seats can be inserted only by taking up what little space now re mains between the rail and the cloak rooms, and it will be very hard un der the most favorable circum stances to find seats for more than 10 or 15 additional members. The great bulk of the House al ready makes it difficult to transact business, which difficulty would be increased with an additional mem bership. At the same time it is. al most impossible that the Tatio of representation ehall be increased so as to maintain the membership of the House"-at its present number, or to slightly reduce it. This is dus to the fact that the coming census will show the greatest gains to have been made in the Middle Western States and particularly in the Mississippi Valley. New York, Pennsylvania and, perhaps, one or two ot the old er States, as Ohio, Indiana and Illi nois, are also expected to show large increases in -population. Should the ratio be increased it will emphasize the fact that the center ofpolitical power is now located in the Missis sippi Valley. On the other hand, the New England States and the Southern States, where the increase in population has not been so rapid, would be compelled to sacrifice a portion jaf their representation in the House, while the Central West ern States would either hold their own or have their representation in creased. A proposition of this kind would naturally be fought to the ut most by the members of the House from the New England and Southern States, and while the remaining States nvght muster enough strength to pass a bill of this char acter it would probably meet such bitter opposition in the Senate as to insure its defeat. It seems probable,, therefore, that the number of Representatives in the House will be increased any where from 30 to 40 and possibly more. To accommodate this in crease, it is more than likely the House will be remodeled somewhat on the plan favored by Mr. Reed, when he was bpeaker, of making the hall smaller by increasing the size of the retiring rooms and doing away altogether with the desks. The re modeling cjli be done next summer, as the coming session will end on March 4, and nine months will elapse before Congress meets again. Director of the Census ilerriam, estimates the population this year will nuraber between 7J,000,000, and 75,000,000, the census of 1S90 show ing 62,622,250. Even if the popula tion reached but 70,000,000 at the present, ratio seats would have to be provided for 30 or more members. Ilamon Beats Them All, Henry Bissell, Hatton Arkansas, says: I cannot find words to ex plain the worth of Ramon's Liver Pills and Ramon's Relief also.

In the '70's'Col. Ike Young's slogan in those memorable Republi can campaigns was to "Lie- like h and stick to it." This was their tactics in those days to arouse the ignorant and excite the passions of the negro. It is cropping out again in this year of grace, twenty-seven years after the above words were spoken. As proof of this you have only to listen to the Republican can didates and their allies, when speak ing ang note tne campaign matter they are sending out. It is time for people to seek the truth and adhere to it. Be not deceived by falsehoods. Hanna After the Poetmastere. New York World. Chairman Mark Hanna, of the Re publican national committee, is not forgetting the postmasters' mites. By a scheme centered in this city each postmaster throughout the United States is being asked to see that $5 is sent to the National Com mercial and Industrial League, with offices in the Bowling Green build ing, this city. At the head of the league is George J. Corey, deputy naval officer of the port of New York. The national committee expects to realize $500,000 by this plan from fourth-class postmasters alone. To each fourth-class postmaster is sent ten tickets of membership in the league, with instructions to dispose of them at 50 cents each and remit the proceeds to Mr. Corey. The plan was conceived to get around the law which prohibits assessment of government employes for politi cal purposes. Kiisnitt'rt AVar Preparation. San Francisco Dispatch, 15th. Yokohoma newspapers received by steamer today give some inter esting details of the enormous movement of munitions of war and arms and men by the Russian gov ernment to its possessions in the far East. A Japanese who publishes a newspaper at Port Arthur recent ly interviewed the captain of tlie big Norwegian steamer Normania, which landed arms at that port. The captain said that the . Nor mania was only one of many ships engaged by the Russian government to bring over arms and men. She landed at Port Arthur ten big guns and an enormous quantity of iron materials for fortifications. At Vi adivostock 6he also discharged stores and provisions. Port Ar thur is now completely fortified, but mauy other places along the coast are being put into condition for an emergency. Russian troops are be ing poured into eastern China at the rate of eleven, hundred men weekly. The captain of the Normania also said Russian volunteer cruisers and ships chartered ly the Russian War Office are carrying troops and military stores to Persia, which bears out the reports recently sent teThe London Times by its Odessa correspondent. r Gen. Lane's Sketch of the Twenty Eighth North Carolina in the War. Opelika., Ala., Post. r j General James H. Lane has just sent to the University Publishing Company the last of a large collection of likenesses of officers and men, tak en during the war in Confederate uniform, to illustrate his "Sketch" of the Twenty eighth North Caro lina, which was his old regiment. The "Sketch" was written and the collection undertaken at the request of Judge Walter Clark of the Su preme Court of North Carolina who has been authorized to solicit sket ches of all the regiments furnished by North Carolina to the Confeder acy, and have them published at the State's expense, in two large hand somely bound volumes. r North Carolina is justly proud of her brave sons, who were "First at Bethel and last at Appomatox." During the war, she had her own blockade runner, the steamer "Ad vance," to bring in supplies for them while they were battling for the whole South, She also had her "Rolls of Honor" records of those brave sons which were verified twice a year by a officer sent to the front. Since the war she has had these rolls published in four bound volumes, and they are now. known as "Moore s of Roster of North Caro lina Troops. " Other Southern States might profit by her example. Glorious News Comes from Dr. D. B. Cargile, of Washita, I. T. He writes "Four bottles of Electric Bitters nas cured sirs. Brewer of scrofula, which had caused her great suffering for years. Terrible sores would break out on her head and face, and the best doc tors could give her no help; but her cure is complete and her health is excellent." This shows what thous ands have proved, that Electric Bit ters is tne best blood punner known. It's the supreme remedy for eczema. tetter, salt rheum, ulcers, bils and running sores, it stimulates liver, kidneys and bowels, expels poisons, helps digestion and builds up the strength.
