TIIE ASIIEVILLE DAILY CITIZEN. JUDGE I'OORE'S OPINION IN AN IMPORTANT CASE Suit Against Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association. .. IT WAS CHARGED WITH RAISING ; THE AGE OF PERSONS HOLD 'S ING ITS POLICIES. Raleigh, N. C, June H. The su preme court adjourned line die- this morning, having cleared its docket of the last case argued at this term. It billed the following opinions today: Prttchard vs. Commissioners ol MqrA Canton, modified and affirmed, with costs against county of Burke; State vs. Hill, from New Hanover, error; State vs. Medlln, from Gaston, affirm ed; Crampton vs. Ivls, from Mecklen. burg, new trial; Hutton vs. Webb, from Burke, petition to rehear dismlss d. ;' ' x 4 There are 55 of the criminal Insane r in their special department in the pen itentiary. A Uttle over a year ago there were only 37, ' " Some of the legislators like the Idea . of a summer session very well; others taking a contrary view. There will be another session In July. It like, this one, will be brief. , ' The Republicans arecirculaling a re port that "a negro named Denny" was a delegate from Watauga to the recent Democratic state convention. Repre sentative Council of that county said today that Denny is white, has a white wife and white children Who attend a white public school, and that he never heard any one charge Denny with be ing a negro until the Republicans started this canard on its rounds. The state board of agriculture today by a vote of 10 to 8 appropriated $1500 for the Btate fair, to advance the farm ing interests and the money will be ex pended under the direction of a com mittee of the board. Gerald McCarthy, for some months entomologist and botanist to the de partment, severed his connection with it. His work was highly commended by the board, but the latter desires to secure an active field worker along this line. McCarthy retires September 1. The appropriations for the depart ment for the coming half-year aggre gate $26,643. Of this sum $17,000 is now in hand. The remainder will come in from fertilizer taxes during the six months. ' At the request of the state board of health the board of agriculture ar ranged to equip its laboratory so that bacteriological as well as biological ex aminations of drinking water can be made. This is a very Important and commendable stem as the presence of typhoid or other bacilli in water can be thus discovered. Adjutant-General Royster says rec qulsition has gone to Washington for ordnance and quartermaster's sup nllB. amounting to S23.000, on this year's quota, which Is avajlable July 1. There was a little error as to the amount of stores taken from the vol unteers being returned at once. It seems that is not In the law, but the war department has the matter under advisement. Property to the amount of $32,000 was so taken in this state, and of this about $7000 was returned, so that the balance is now $25,000. Four negro members were present at this session of the legislature Senator Fuller and Representatives Smith, "Wright and Tarborough. State Senator John Quincey Jackson of Lenoir county, died here very sud denly early this morning. He was at the senate until midnight last night and then went to his boarding house. About 4 o'clock this morning he left his room and went out on a porch and sat in a chair. A little before 6 he was found there dead. He was 63 years old, a native of Lenoir county, a lawyer by profession, his office being at Kinston. He leaves a wife. He had considera ble property. He was a Mason and a most estimable man in all the rela tions of life. President Reynolds of the senate said of him "He was the best man in the senate. It was an honor and a pleasure to have his friendship." His body was this afternoon taken to Kin: ston for burial. Judge Moore today filed an opinion in an important case. F. G. Simmons and F. A. Simmons, father and son, sued the Mutual Reserve Fund Life as sociation for violation of Its contract, in "raising the age" of the persons .holding its policies. The Judge decides that the association wrongly broke its contract and violated its agreement, and gives the plaintiffs $1706 damages, with interest. Many similar cases de pend on this one. The State Baseball association is now regularly organized. Its schedule committee was at work here today, having called in the services of an ex pert. George. Stephens of Charlotte Is president, N.

I'm goln" to quit the preacher, for ev ery time I go, He picks me out of all his crowd, and , tramps right on my toe. Today I chipped a dollar - in, and thought I was o. k.j' But as soon as he got started, he be gan to growl and tlay. I had braced myself to take a" snooze, . but lust about that time He told us that the Bible says much sleeping is a crime. This roused me up, and fired me, too, for I thought 'twas meant for me. For he looked niy way, as if to say, ' "you're caught without a plea."' Just then he changed his subject, and ' I thought I'd get a rest, for he talked ot gifts and givers and of those the Lord loves best. He told us of a widow, who had given her only mite, And said her gift was richer far, the,n anything in sight. He said God measured all our gifts from a point of sacrifice, . And not by dollars or by dimes I call ' that strange advice. I'll bet that dollar that I gave will pay as many bills A tbat of any widow, in her mourning or her frills, i So when I thought the parson was a climbing in my 'hair, It roused my Ire, I got on fire, it al most made me swear. But soon he tackled moral things, and roasted all the town, I looked at Smith, and then at Jones, ' and then I winked at Brown. It was a special comfort now, since I had got my curry, To see some other people wince, to twist and frown with worry. My neighbor, Brown, whose daughters dance, grew pale and then got red. His passions rose, he redder grew, as he rubbed his old bald head. Then Smith, who runs a money shop, and corners all the gold, Received his share of warm abuse from the preacher, who grew bold. He .ripped old Jones right up the back, and told him of his shame, In allowing all his offspring to even change their name. I chuckled loud and nudged my wife. and gloated at the fun We all were having there that day, as the preacher fired his gun, About this time he quit the men, then the sisters ceased to smile. He said that Idols were not worse than too much dress and style. Again I nudged my little wife, who frowned and tossed her head, As if to say I do not know just what the preacher said; For to tell the truth, I 'hadn't spent a fortune on her dress, Her hat was worn, and out of style, and her gown was little less. So after all, I lost the Joy of taunting her with Jeers, For misery liketh company, and sor row seeketh tears. I had hoped to let my own self down when we returned from church By sympathizing with her where he left her In the lurch. The parson left the women soon, and came buck to the men, He painted them all black and vlle.aml rapped me once again, At last the closing hymn was sung, the people all passed out, My wife remarked: "That sermon was the kind you read about." I couldn't see it JUBt that way, it It seemed a grim outrage. That parson should abuse us so, in this modern, golden age. I think that he should coax us more. and point us to the Lamb, And not make so much fuss and noise when a fellow takes a dram. Of course there's people in this town, who tell him everything That happens on the sly, and too, the secrets of the ring. And these same fellows, mean as sin, can sing and shout and pray, AS K their titles all were clear, and this was Judgment Day. I b'lieve I'll quit the preacher, and stay at home and read, Then I can choose the sort or stun mm fits my mind and creed. Tf...,.t n' u-uaHnit on the nerves to ALB BUI w v ..v. c hear one's self abused, So I'll stay at home and read my books, and keep the kids amused.

ANOTHER CASE OF REPUBLICAN : MISREPRESENTATION Their Circular Concerning Gov. Heard's Remarks. " GOVERNOR WRITES A LETTER TO CHAIRMAN SIMMONS OF THE STATE COMMITTEE. Raleigh, N. C, June 13. The Repub- licans have been circulating a printed circular claiming that, in his Inaugural address, Governor Heard of Louisiana made a statement to the effect- that the new constitutional amendment of that state disfranchised Illiterate white men as well as ignorant negroes. Hon. F. M. Simmons, chairman of the rmocratic state executive commit tee, sent a copy of that campaign cir cular to Governor Heard,' asking if he mean by his inaugural address to im ply that any white men had been dis franchised, and also what had been the effect of the amendment in his state as to uneducated white voters. This an swer was received a few days ago and Is as follows: State ot Louisiana, executive depart ment, Baton Rouge, June 9, 1900. Hon. F. M. Simmons, chairman Dem ocratic state executive committee, Raleigh, N. C. , Aear Sir: Your letter of the 6th Inst. received with enclosed printed clrcu lar, giving extracts from my inaugural address. , The. conclusion drawn from these ex tracts by the puBllsher of this circular are not warranted, and the statement oontalned in the circular to the effect that the Democratic party had de prived any white people in Louisiana qf their right of suffrage is not true Under the new constitution of Louis lana, adopted in 1898, there is an edu cational or property qualification re quired. This educational qualification is that "he Bhall be able to read and write," and a simple test of this Is re quired In the shape of a blank form of application to be filled out by the ap plicant. If the citiien cannot read and write but is possessed of $300 worth of property assessed for taxes, he is thereby qualified. But our constitution went further and provided that no male person who was, on January 1, 1867, or at any prior date entitled to vote In any state of the United States, and the sons and grandsons of any such persons, should be denied the right to vote because he had not the educational or property qualification This provision, which became known as "section 6, opened the door to practically every white man in the state, whether rich or poor, educated or illiterate. It was furthermore pro vided that those claiming the right of suffrage under this section should have the privilege of going on a PERMA NENT REGISTRATION ROLL, to be put on record in the" office of the sec retary of the state, so that no reglstra Hon officer, or other official, could ever deprive them of their rght to vote. The reference to the beneficial effects of the suffrage, mentioned In my inau gural address, was in general terms, and considered from a general stand point the vast improvement in the electorate of the state, since the elim inatlon of the large mass of negro vot ers. Our people are, of course, all fa miliar with our suffrage and election laws, and It was not necessary to go into details on such an occasion. I regret that anyone outside o Louisiana should have used my re mark to misrepresent the action of the Democratic party of my state, which has ever been the true friend of all classes of white people within her bor ders. " Very respectfully, W. W. HEARD. House of Representatives, Washing ton, June 4, 1900. We, the undersigned members of con gress from tne state ot Louisiana, state that the suffrage amendment to the constitution of Louisiana is giving great satisfaction to the people of the state. There is no longer any question being made as to Its constitutionality, and that while it has eliminated the ignorant negro vote. It has not dis franchised the uneducated native born white man. ADOLPH MEYER, J AS. E. RANSDELL, PHANORES BREAZEALE, ROBERT C. DAVERY. What Governor Heard really said in his Inaugural address was this: "The wise limitation of the sunrage, under the present constitution, to a property owning and intelligent elec torate, ha served to eliminate from the exercise of the suffrage the vast mass of- venality and ignorance which has heretofore been a constant menace to good government. . "These limitations and restrictions of the franchise eliminate from the elec torate a. large portion of the negro ele ment, thus committing the destinies of the commonwealth to the hands of Its white citizens. - ,' ' ' "This 'Wus done for the purpose of protecting not only the white, but the colored race as well, from the evils of corrupt government and to preserve the rights and liberties of both. It therefore becomes an imperative duty, now more than ever before, to deal Justly and fairly with this class of our people, -and to see to it that they are fully protected In the employment of their rights of person and property and to Insure the betterment and elevation of their moral and material condition.
