The writer, begging pardon for
referring to . a . personal mat
ter, feels - deeply . grateful to
those papers of ' the atate which
have recently spoken very kindly of
The Citizen. Words of appreciation
such as these are worth lifetime of
hard work, and theysre, to be placed
tn memory's storehouse, as treasures of
the purest and beat.
Reports or tn campaign's progress
show that Hon. R. D. Gilmer of Hay
wood Is making" an enviable record as
a campaigner. This Is exceedingly
gratifying to the many friends of that
gentleman In this section. He possesses
marked ability, and his presentation of
the issues that are confronting the
people of the state this year Is always
forcible. Western North . Carolinians
take especial .Interest In Mr. . Gilmer
and they may be relied upon to give
blm and the entire Democratic ticket
an increased vote.
The White Man's Year,
Evidence Is already at hand to estab
llsh the fact that th Republicans re
gard the defeat of Hon. Locke Craig as
the paramount matter in Buncombe at
th approaching election. The selection
of one man upon whom to turn all their
vials of wrath Is not an unusual thing
with the Republicans of this county
And these assaults by no means lndl
cat that their victim Is less entitled
to the confidence of the people than his
fellows. On the contrary, the opposite
It about the fact. This biennial game
Of Buncombe Republicans Is purely one
Of politics. They seek to compass the
destruction of the man they fear will
do them most dumage should he sue
ceed.
It Is known that Mr. Craig la not a
candidate this year (and for that mat
ter, so far as The Citizen is Informed
and believes, has been no other year)
from choice. His canvas in Buncombe
two years ago, and his subsequent ser
Vice in the lower house of the leglsla
ture cost him much In time and money,
when he knew no Compensation could
be forthcoming. Mr. Craig's nomlna
tton this year was demanded by the
Democrats of Buncombe, and Its ac
ceptanre on his part a distinct sacri
fice for a man of hi limited means, and
be will make the fight because of his
loyalty to his party, and serve the peo
pie in the legislature from a sense of
duty.
And he will be triumphantly elected
The enthusiasm he created two years
ago by his brilliant cunvass of the
county will be equalled If not surpass
d, and ho attempt to "swap every
thing to defeat Craig" will suffice to
bring defeat, or even decrease his ma
jority.
ine i iiisen oeneves tnat every can
didate, man for man, on the Democrat
ic ticket in Hunconitw this year is
more than the equal of his Republican
opponent, and the party should, and
we have no doubt will, rally to their
upport with a determination and
arnestness that will override all oppo
sition.
The canvass will be formally and vl
gorously opened In a few hours. There
may come, Incidentally, many matters
Into the fight, but the burning, over
shadowing, Intense issue will be the
llmlnatlon of the Ignorant colored
vote from North Carolina politics for
ail time. The Republicans have for
months been endeavoring to cloud the
minds and arouse the fears of the
great mass of white people by assert
ing that the right of white men to
vote would be seriously endangered
Should the constitutional amendment
carry. In these efforts bald assertion
or deliberate misrepresentation have
been substituted for facts and argu
ment The whole Republican propa
ganda has for Its basis the supposition
that the people can be fooled Into be
lievlng that the adoption of the amend
ment will do the very thing It states
In express and unequivocal terms It
was Intended not to do. If these tactics
of the Republicans have had any effect
upon tlTe minds of the white people
calculated to cause them to vot
against the amendment, that effect
will be dissipated speedily ai .Locke
Craig and his associate on the county
ticket progress with the canvass, and
when the votes ar counted It will be
found that Runcomb county white
men stand by their own race and their
own color, and cannot be led by Re
publican .politicians to so vote a to
make possible negro rule or white

Insult to White Men.
A few days ago Senator Marlon But
ler, while making a political speech In
the town of Morganton, was undertak
ing to convince hi audience that there
was great danger of disfranchising
white people should the proposed
amendment to the state constitution
eliminating the Ignorant negro vote be
adopted. A small boy was standing
near the senator, and upon the lapel of
hla coat he wore a white supremacy
badge. In an effort to play heavily
upon the minds of the people before
him, Senator Butler cauaht the little
fellow and held htm up before the
.crowd, deptarlng, that this boy might
be deprived of lilt Vote when he arrived
at man's estate should the amendment
become a part of the fundamental law.
It so happened that the boy held up by
Butler was a bright mulatto, and when
told of his mistake by a Democrat In
the audience, Butler dropped his "liv
ing picture" in utter discomfiture.
The whole Incident was a demagogi
cal trick by the prince of demagogues,
and the chagrin manifested by the arch
political trader at his failure to distin
guish between a white boy and a ne
gro has been the source of much
amusement to the press of the state.
But it has remained for the Judaa
Iscarlot of the Ashevllle Gaiette to
turn this Incident into a direct and
stinging Insult to every white man In
North Carolina. In Us issue of June 19
the Galeae says this by way of com-
lent upon what the Raleigh News and
Observer had to say concerning Sena
tor Butler's break:
The lesson la this: When you see a
White Supremacy' badge on a sup
posed white man Investigate his gene-
ology-he Is probably a mulatto. A
genuine white man doesn't need to be
labeled."
Of the man who wrote this foul In
sult It Is not necessary to speak; his
removal, ror reasons readily apparent,
Into the Republican camp, body, brain
and soul, Is known of all men In North
Carolina. This man. and thou
whom he Is working, may think now
that "when you see a 'white suprema
cy badge on a supposed white man
Investigate his geneology-he Is prob
ably a mulatto." but they will not so
think 0 days hence. This Is nothing
less than a deliberate, gratuitous and
unpardonable Insult to every white
man In North Carolina.

and ours is the best that can be made;
has that soft, easy, regular northern
light, making it easier for us to al
ways make good portraits.
Our operator, Mr. Ray, understands
his business and has hnih liii ..j

for fine work.
Everything about our photographs
harmonises. The mounts are correct
and suit the picture.
Tou can recognize our pictures at
sight. There's a certain something
about them that distinguishes them
from ordinary work.
