The Durham Sun remark: "Our dear Old friend 'We Point With Pride," was missing from the Philadelphia con vention. I our aged comrade dead? And come to think of It, 'We ' View With Alarm' wa also among the ab sent." Which lead the Charlotte Ob tcrver to say this: "You forget. 'We Repudiate With Scorn' was not there, llther." And, by the way, what wa th matter with "We Hall With Pleasure the Reign of Prosperity"? Surely the keeper of the elephant, the Honorable t Hanna, wa asleep at the witch. The New York Herald nominate Orover Cleveland for president on an antl-lmperlalism platform. Mr. Bry an' friend would better look out for a Stampede.

Read the Amendment. There l only on thlnif that kep ome men from advocating the amend ment, and that Is the fear that It might disfranchise some white nun. The answer to this Is. read the amend ment yourself. It cannot disfranchise any white man. It guarantees Hint ev ery white man shall be a perpetual vo ter. And It further says that If thl guarantee section or any other part Shall fall, then the whole amendment hull fall, and voting will then he us It I now. Of course the opponents raise ob jections, that Is their mily hope ul' keeping the nemo In politics. They would say Mack Is white. You know It, Is not It Is a self-evident fact but Whit arguments would ynu give In prove It Is not? Just so about the Re publican objections to the umendment they disprove themselves. Not only luis politics ruined the ne gro In North Cuiollna. but the 'negro has also tulned politics. The adoption of the suffrage amendment will reme dy both these ttonli'..-lt will be u blessing to the negro and it boon t i politics. Then and Now, Horn days ago The i'U1en referred to the fact that It had been rumored that MaJ. W. W. Uolllns of Ashe!ll. one of the leading figure In live tight against the white supremacy move ment In North f'nrolinn. had not al ways thought as lie does now on the question of the negro's tight to the 'ballot. We have waited several days, thinking that perhaps the Major would throw some light on the subject. He has not done so, however, and we now take occasion to make some quotations from an old document that cannot lad to be of Interest at this juncture. ' There has come Into The Cltlsena" hand a document addr. ssed "to the Voter of the senatorial district rom posed of the counties of Transylvania, Henderson, Buncombe, Madison, Yan cy and Mitchell." This document Is nearly 311 year old, the exact date be lng "Asheviii. net. n. iMS ,a the signature "V. Wallace Rollins." Th Major, "at the urgent solicit. h,,.. of many friends In all part of the dis trict," took thl method of announcing hi candidacy for the state senate. He refer feelingly to the condition In this section consequent upon the war between the states, expresses hi "con fidence In the recuperative energle of our people," and proceed to declare hi position on the quest ion of the day. We quote this paragraph; "A to the. negro question, which Is one of vital Importance to the country, and to anwer the many Inquiries made, What shall be, done with the negro, now that he I free among us? I for one believe this to be' a white man' government, and hi only; and that It would be dangerous to the white race and the country, to elevate the freedman to be hi political equal; and that the former vlaves, as they now stand, are stranger and alien to this government, and have no part In It. We cannot with any safety to the country enfranchise him In hi Ignor ant' and degraded condition. Our friend at the north have refused him thl privilege. They give u the ex ample. But still thl does not settle the question, What must be done with the negro? The elephant'ha been drawn and nobody want him." The Major further remarks that "the best thing for the freedman and the whites, Is to colonize htm, or at least a part of the race, at the earliest' op portunity." Proceeding, he sum up on this question thus: "To tell you In short, fellow citizens, what l am for: I am for a free white government; I am in favor of the col onisation of the freed blacks; I am in favor of passing such laws a will force the freedman to make good his contract and agreements with the whites, and that will keep him from roving In Idleness about the towns add villages." Ha the progres of the freedman since Major Rolling wrote this address been such as to justify his fighting a measure that proposes, legally, to eliminate a large proportion of the ne gro vote? If It has the people of North Carolina are not aware of It. The Ma. tpr 35 years ago thought It "would be dangerous to the whit race and the country to elevate the freedman to be his political equal," Verily, here he spoke as one having the gift of prophecy. Will he say now that when he wrote these words he knew naught of what he was speaking? Doe he not know that what he then thought would prove dangerous has for year In North Carolina been a real menace? Major Rollins, the man, is the same as the Major Rollins of 35 years ago, but Major Rollins, the politician, seemi to see through different glasses. He should stand by hi declaration of 35 years ago and. Join the procession that I movinaf-orward for the ratifi cation of the suffrage amendment. He could thu help to take the "elephant" out of politic. Two Insults. "The lesson I 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." From the Ashevllle Gazette June 19. 1900. "Dowllng was a leading light In the white union club and at the election (1898) was a Democratic registrar, which In our opinion were much worse offense thun robbing a drunk man." From the Ashevllle Uucette March 18, 1900. EASY TRANSPORTATION. Good Roada Halae Vain of Farm and Farm Trodacts.
