WILL YOUJIG MEN EDUCATE? I While the State cectns stirred ns per !.ap!i never before on the subject of ed -ucali n, Hr the most part the enthusi asm is directed tonaul-5 the 'education of children in iho free schools. Macj young rcea who are not included in tha number of children who are of the free schools, need some theusht and encouragement as well as the children. This is the season when many soon will have to deteraiine upon a future course. Occasionally a young man has a fairly gocd situation in a store oi factory where ho is getting a good salarj from which it seems difficult to turn and spend several years in school. Such a young man is under peculiar temptation to determine upon a course that may dwarf his life especially the intellectual part of it. In such case tli3 young man sees a pretty sure thing in his present employment and is in clined to continue his work ol money making although he feels sure it will dwarf him intellectually. To all such we would suggest that they weigh carefully the pros and cons before they reach the final decision. Lst it ba remembered that while money is great and money-making bj proper means is to be con tended, there are other things in the world be sides money, and some things" worth far more than money. Taking it all in all, the record of college men shows a decided advantage in their favor. Will cur young men educate them selves, or will they be content to start lifo without preparation and end it in regret? WELL CONSIDERED. In view of the supposed elimination ol the negro vote in North Carolina lv virtue of our constitutional amcnl monf, many people are working them selves into feeling that soon they can ignore all party lines with safety to tha State. In closing an editorial on the needs cr wifcely says : "I he amendment has not yet gone iiUo operation. The first election un der it will bo he'd in .November. No boJy knows how many negro voters it will disfranchise. Republican leaders are already claiming that fifty-cue per cent, of the negroes of voting age can read and write and are therefore eligi ble to vote. Until one election is held under the amendment, we repeat, no body can teli how great will be the elimination oi negro voters. If it is as great ss the Democrats belieys, ft Avili be a day for rejoicing. If, how- ! ever, the Republicans succeed in put ting a large number of negroes on the registration books (and they will put every one oa they can) the negro counties will then have no great mar gin of white majority. ' "There is but ona Sife plan for the white people of auy: Southern State: Stay in the Democratic' ship, fight out the battles in its primaries, and-, abide by its arbitraments Whenever any other course ha3 been pursued it has been followed by assassination as in Kentucky ; by repudiation, and bad Eovernmont as in Virginia ; by negro rule and debauchery of government as North Carolina ; and by rottenness and fraud as in Maryland. If the consti tutional amendment stands, - present divisions would not mem negro rule, but every division among the whites makes possible the return of the evils which the State suffered in 1SGS-9 and in 18'J5-0." A CORRECTION. In Mr. W. D. Fender's communica tion from Fernandina, Fla., last week, the types made him speak of "White Hsrae Harry" Lee. .It should have been "Light Horse Harry," of course ; but'tbe editor was rushed with report ing iua coumy conveniioa ana was away attending the Congressional con vention at the time of going to press and the proof was not very carefully read. - "Light lLorte Harry" is a'name too well known In history to be treated lightly in any way. EVEKY HEALTHY BOY Likes to get himself into places of 'danger.- Hence braises, strains and sprains.

W. jraiog-jr,' Mr.'- II. A. tiilliam, of Tar ouio, calied the convention to ordcr E E. liiiliard was asked to act as tec retary. By motion' of Mr. W. II I'oweSl, the teropory organization was made t-ermanent. There beuiK no contest there was no committee on credentials. A platform committee was appoint ;d, one delegate lrom each county be ing selected. The committee presented the follow ing platform which was read by Hon. John E. Woodard, of Wilson : "Resolved, That we condemn the imperialistic tendency cf the Eepub licau party and the radical departure from the fundamental principles upon which a free republic is based. 'That we condemn the protective pol icy of the liepublican party which fosters trusts and monopolies ; destroys jompetlliun, centralizes the wealth of the country in the hands of the law md crushes the spirit of honest labor, and we declare for such a revision of the tariff as will raise revenue ade quate to meet the necessary expenses of the national government economi cally administered and no more. "That we have watched with in terest the course of our Senator, Hon. F. M. Simmons, and Representative Claude Kitchiu in. Congress of the United States, and hereby give them jur hearty support and cordial endorse ment." Tha platform was adopted and the chairman declared nominations - in nder. The. roll of counties was called and ill the cc unties passed until Lenoir - .vasreaefced. When 'cat county was called Hon. J. C. Wooten, of Kiuston, n a brief but appropriate speech nomi istei Hon. Clauds Kitchiu, tho pres ent member cf Congress from this dis rict. Mr. Wooten in a few eloquent tnd highly eulogistic sentences paid a beautiful compliment to the brilliant young representative and his ernarks were received with applause. The roll call of counties was finish ed when Mr. Kitchin's nomination vas made unanimous. Theie were instant calls for Mr. utchm, who responded in a brief but veil timed speech. Handsome of person and striking n marks of intellostu ility, . the dele tes from tho various counties felt jroud oi their able and fast rising young llepresentative. Mr. Kitchiu aid in part : . . " , "Mr. chairman and gentlemen of . he Convention : "Were I insensible to this compli cent o! hoaor at your hands I would e less than a man. Ingratitude vonld stamp me unfit for it did I not hank you for this confidence, I shall lot make a speech to-day. It is is too varrn for me to speak and it is too Faim for you to listen. . ; "I know that as your representative I have my short comings, but m what 3ver I fail I ask that you will permit ay honest endeavors and sincere de ires to plead for my short comings. ' Your platform just adopted shows -he issues before us. I hope soon at wne other time to meet my people ind discuss the great issues of this jampaign. Monopolies and trusts are wrong, and because they are wrong they Gught to be destroyed, and with a true and honest representation in Con gress and an honest administra tion we will soon destroy them. We make war on no individual man or business, but we make war on the jaonopolies. If the Domocaatic party can get control of Congress we can -ive tte people a realization of Jack ion's dream of an ideal government. 'The country faces still another sue. The Democratic party does not lodge the issue. It declares for an effort to stop the war of conquest and subjugation of people struggling for iiberty. It will say to the nations of the world, 'God gave you liberty - and -ve will not take it from you.' "We may lose the fight or we may win, but in any case the Democratic party appeals to humanity, reason and wisdom of tho people to resolve never jgain to iet their hands be wet with human blood save in the . defense and preservation of our government and Us institutions." Mr. Kitchin's short but thrilling ipeech was received with hearlv applause and every one who heard it felt that the interests of the people of the Secon d district arc sale in his hands.

Commonwealth : I see from the news papers that the re cent Democratic convention of Hali fax county was harmonious and en thusiastic. From ray observation it was exactly to the reverse, there waa far less harmony and concord than has been in any Democratic convention held in Halifax county in the past twenty years, and I ask why has the party become so fearfully lukewarm? I'be answer is very evident because you cannot force Anglo-Saxons to wear the collar of political "bosses." The negro yoa can drive the . white man you may lead, but you can never drive. The time has come when every intelligent while man will do his own thinking and will vote to suit himself and you may as well know now that yoa cannot drive him, to vote for men or measures that is un wise, undemocratic and injurious to bis party and his country. The negro is virtually out of politics and you can not lunger hold him up as a stare-crow to Irightcn the weak-kneed and timid and make them vote for your men and measures. The amendment to our constitution (as every intelligent white man knows) eliminates the negro as a factor in the politics of North Caroli na, and the time is fast approaching when the machine and political "bosses" will be relegated to the rear as they should be. The ticket of Hali fax ccunty was virtually nominated last December or January, and the meeting of the convention cn the first day of July was simply a sham and farce concocted by the "bossess" to fool the people of our county, and I defy any man, that was nominated by that convention to deny thia charge. Gentlemen will say this ticket that was forced down the unwilling throats of 3,000intelligent white men of Hali fax county, wa3 the choice of the demo cratic voters of our county I deny this emphatically, and challenge any of the nominees to contradict my charges. They are facts undeniable and they know it. Ah, gentleman will say that I am a defeated candidate, all of which is so. I simply fared the ate of any other man that dared to fight this most damnable combine. But fellow citizens, the day of reckon ing will be sure to come, and' woe to the "bosses" and "Czars" that are ramming down the throats of Halifax county a ticket that the people do not want and ought to have repudiated. A revolution is irresistible will and ought to come and hurl these self constituted dictators to private life, then and not until then will the people of Halifax county get their rights. " W. F. BUTTERWORTH, Scotlaud .Neck, N. C, July 8, 1902. CONGRESS ADJOURNED. Congress adjourned last week,. Mat ters will cool down a little at " the na tional capital now, and it is to be hoped that all Senators who have pugilistic tendencies will work off their ambition some other way before they reassemble.
