THE NEWS. CEOWSON & COOK, Pbopwbtobs. OOD1N F. CBOWSQN, Editob. JNO. M. COOK, Business Manager. ONK DOLLAR FEB YBAB. . Katered In tbe Postofflce at Burling ton, N. C. as second class matter. Wednesday. - April 18, 1900 SPEAKING OF STATE CAM-DIDATE8. CljTlHE speaking at this place last. Monday was listened to Dy large crowd, and the day was. grand one for ' old Alamance. A stand was erected in the grove of tb office lot, and seats arranged. The band furnished nice music, the ladiea were there to lend their en chanting presence to tbe occasion, the sun shone out nice and warm, and a more perfect day or surround ings could not have been wished for. All the candidates except Messrs. Dixon an J Grimes were present. The day was beautiful and the e eakers were at their best. ' Their - - arguments in favor of the amendment were convincing. The speeches of Aycock, Turner, Gilmer Lacy and Simmons were fine. After listening to the words of these man no one cm think that the constitutional amendment will not be legal or think that any white man will be disfranchised by its passage. They proved that this was a white manV government, and that the negro was sentenced by God soon after Noah left the ark to be servants the rest of their days, and that God did not slant back bis brow, widen his nose and thicken his lips, without cause That whenever or wherever he was trusted to rule, devastation follow ed; that our experience with him has always proven that he is only satisfied when ruled and governed by higher minds. They proved tha the Amendment was constitutional, and that it would disfranchise- no ; . one but the negro. Every man bora - prior to 1867 can vote, every man - born since that time can vote- on account of his father or grand father voting before him. Every white man can register between now and 1008 and having registered he is i registered for all time and eternity : he Is registered for a life-time, if be - lives a thousand years. The Amend- , ' rnent, said Mr Aycock, was gotten tip for the speoial purpose of disfran chising the negro, and that if he thought it would disfranchise a . Bin i, gle white man, he would vote against it The Amendment is a remedy . gotten no to prevent the enactment . of such scenes as were experienced - before - the eleoUon of 1898, The flfrtifc in tit a voflf voa f a vat r-ir terv akUV VMVV F VM TT HB VW KUVUMW UVUJ under negro rale; the fight this year , is to fix things so we can stay out . After the ' passage of the Amend ment tbe political battles will be fought , between . the white men of this State and principles will be the weapons and there will be no negro to decide the question and act as' the balancing power. For about fire hours the audienoe Bat and listened attentatively. ' It was an audienoe : upon which was Stamped respeotability and intelli fence fair representatives of our county, and we are sure that the : spexking will accomplish lasting and permanent good. .; xne candidates, one ana all, are noble looking men, worthy products of the grandest convention ever held in North Carolina, and are worthy representatives and - champions of the SUleV Democracy, x We were glad to have them with us. We were glad that the first gun of the eomftfg campaign was fired in our county As the first blood of tbe Revolution was shed upon our soil, and as old Alamance has - ever been found in !' e midst of the hdttest fighting, may 3 phout of battle which was raised ;' -i place on lass Monday touch i' scf every white man with in her domain and cause the blood to once more course through - the veins of her noole sons and nerve them for the coming confliot; may they not trail tbe name of old ' Ala- mancein the dust of disgrace, but may they hoist her flag high up ia the heavens where it cannot be touch ed by the black cloud of negroism, let us remember how we came by our name, and render that name still more immortal by giving - our ' life and our strength toward tbe salva tion of our Statefrom negro rul, which is ten thousand .times more dr-adful than . that of the British May this little noble band of speak ers go on, lrom one county to the other, carrying their messages of truth, which, if heeded, will keep us free from the repetition of the hor rors of 1898. It seems that there is to be a fu sion and confusion of the Republi cans and a few of the Populists in North Carolina, or rather this is the programme of the . Republicans and Marion Butler. The Republican' are to name the nominee fof Governor and this nominee will be either Linney or Adams and they will also name the Lf. Governor. .The Butler Poputlist will come in on the tail end to help fill up. Our Sprint Opening OF, Subscribe for a per the News. lively, newsy pa Dr. J. K. Stockaed, DENTIST.
