Will it work again this year ? ee Josephus Daniels, editor of the Raleigh News and Observer. the present member of the National Democratic committee,should be re elected by the State delegation to Kansas City. No Democrat nor wiser politician lives in the State. His paper is the leader in all of the party's fights andis hated by the fusionists as no other paper in the State for the reason that it does more to thwart their schemes. Mr. Daniels stands for ali the Democrats of North Carolina stand for, and his re-election as North Carolina’s representative on Nir. Bryan’s campaign committee should and doubtless will be unanimous. truer * * We understand that the Republi- cans are telling unecucated white men that the Demecrats will dis- franchise them by another amend- ment if the present oneis adopted. These Republicans know that this is not true. It was the Democratic party which first gave uniyersal suffrage to the white men of North Carolina. Ithas always stood for that and it always will. The evreat majority of the unlettered white men of North Carolina are Demo- crats and the party has no more de- voted members. Self interest, as well as its sense cfrizbt and justice, will cause the Demscratic party to always fight any proposition to take the ballot away from those white men whose early poverty and other misfortunes prevented them from securing an education. The Demo- cratic party does propose to dis- franchise as many negroes as _ pos- sible, and this is why the Repubii- can politicians wail and tear their hair. * - * The Republican party has already disfranchised the negroes as far as their conventions are concerned. In the county convention here Satur- day none but white men were dele- gates and no negro was elected to the State or district conventions. It seems that the Republicans have come to the conclusion that the ne- grois not fitto have any part in politics. We are not complaining at this treatment of the negro. for we don’t think he has any business in conventions. We gofurther—we } don't think he has apy business at elections either. Wedon’t want ne- ero officers, nordc we want white officers who are elected by negro votes. The constitutional amend- meat will disfranchise two-thirds or three-fourths of the negroes, and white men zhould see to it that it is adopted. It will be best for the negro to take him out of polities. This can be demonstrated in al- most every neighborhood, where tke most prosperous and best-liked ne- groes never go to the elections. It wil! be best for the white man that only white men rule North Carolina and her every county and town. This is a self-evident proposition; but, if any one doubts it, we, refer him to Wilmington in the year 1898 under n2gro rule and to Wilmington in 1900 under white wan’s rule.

Newton is now ridof two negro fiends, Henry and Wiley Banks. But it is much to be regretted that they got away »efore the crowd, which got; together Wednesday night, had a chance to give them a severe dressing off with hickory withes and trace chains. These ne- yroes have been working at the ho- tel. Along the street back of the hotel, Miss Lizzie Hudson, daughter of Mr. Lawrence Hudson, passed just before dark every day yoing to her work in Newten Cotton Mills. Vor a week or more. these negroes, one at a time, had been takinyy up a position at thestable, back of the hotel and waiting for her to pass. Each one made insulting proposi- tions to her, and one threatened to vet her if she did not yield. She reported the matter to town marshal Bost, who got outa warrant for them and had them before the mayor Wednesday about noon. They were fined $3.00 each. They found out that it would be unsafe to stay in Newton, andskipped just before night. Thereis a whole volume in this incident right at our door iu favor of settling the negro question this vear. W. W. Mayhew, Merton, Wis.. says, ‘I consider One Minute Cough It was discovered at daylight yes- terday morning that a very bold and daring robbery had been committed right in the heart of town. The postetiice had been entered during Wednesday night and the safe blown open and robbed of its con- tents. The burglars effected an en- trance tothe building through the vor lesding into the main office, by breaking the lock. That was an casy task. It is presumed that a = inch diamond brace drill was used in boring into the inver parts cf thesafe. A dynamite cap, a fuse and a considerable quantity of nitro ylycerine were used to effect the ex- plosion, The concussion was of sufticient force to bend the locks, loosen the combination and break one hinge from the safe door. From appearances of the wreck on inspec- tion it was clear that the burglars turned the safe over and lifted the door to one side, placing it upon the make-up table; then a small combi- nation chisel and wrench used to prize open the vaults. Postmaster Templeton referred to his records, which show that the safe contained $583.63, in money and stamps. About $285 was in stamps. The stamps left lying upon the safe amounted to $112.78. (These stamps were left presumably for the convenience of the public until another lot could be obtained.) The oflice was ina badly demolish- ed condition Thursday moruing. The furniture was broken aud scat- tered, and a large glass at the boxes to the left of the delivery window was knocked entirely out. The large plate glass in the front window is cracked into twenty pieces and the large glass in the transom was completeiy shattered, The ones who did the work did not do a bad job—it was well and deliberately planned. This is the second safe that has been cracked and robbed at the post- otfice since the incumbency of Mr. R. S. Templeton as postmaster, and is deplorable, The firsc robbery took place on the night of January Sto, 1898, and the system of expto- sion was the same. The robbery occurred after mid- night, between 12 and 1 o'clock. Miss McNeely, who lives in the rear of the postoflice building, heard the explosion, and saw lights and shad- OWs Movin,s about in the postoftice from ber winduw. There were many others who heard the nvise ard felt the shock. After the wreck had been cleared Esquire Voils turned over to Mr. Templeton $24.- 40 that had been picked up from underneath the safe. Mr. Templeton lost $45 in gold of his own money, and Nr. Miller, a gauger at Mr. J. W. Brown's dis- tillery, had placed $50 in the safe on Wednesday eveningand will proba- bly lose it. Tbe authorities at Washington were notified and an inspector ar- rived last night to investigate the matier.

Indianapolis Dispatch, 27th. Anna Brown, a fourteen-year-o!d girl, living two miles from Engtish, attended Sunday school at that place yesterday afternoon and start- ed heme ebeut 5 o'clock, taking the railroad tiack as the shorter way. As She stericd acress a trestle that spans arevine about three hucdred feet wide and just reached the cen- ter, a fast freight turned the curve. She saw that it would be impossible ioreach the further side before the train would be upen her and she stepped to ihe edze of the trestle and as the train came up, swung herself down by her bands, holding on to the cross ties. The engiveer saw her and as soon as the train cleared the trestle he vanced course during his summer] jymped from his cab and hastened back toward the girl.

The heaviest rain in 15 years fell in Waco and vicinity this afternoon. Reporss of death and destruction are coming from every direction. Between Sand 10 persons have been drowned within the city limits ef Waco, and searching parties, head- ed by the fire department, sre out lgoking for the drowned. So far, the bodies of two white women, mother aad daughter,and one negro, have been recoyered. They are Mrs. Nancy Caudle, Miss Clara Caudle and Frank Walker. The water is so high that progress is slow in the search for the dead. Boats are being used in the principal strects on the south side to take the people to places of safety. Water stands in the basement of the Provident Bank building,the largest and finest building in the city. The establish- ment of Tom Padgett & Cu., is like- wise flooded. A report from Rock- dale to the Times-Herald states that the mines at that place were tlooded this afternoon by the high water, drowring four men. Such a flood was never before seen here. The rain resembled a succession of cloudbursts. Base- ments were flooded on Franklin and Washington streets and on Austin avenue. Waco creek, on the south side of the city,and Barron's branch on the north side, poured their sur- plus water toward the cevter of the city and formed a sea in the busi- ness district. At present the exact number of persons drowned cannot be ascertained. Mrs. Nancy Gaudle and her daughter, who resided with Mrs. Norton at thecorner of Jack- son and Seventh streets, are among the dead recovered from the tlood. The house was in the Waco creek overflow, and the two ladies,in spite of efforts at rescue, were swept away. Mr. and Mrs. Norton were saved. Their house was destroyed. Wm. Walker, a negro, was drown- ed inthe Barron brancn overflow and his body was recovered. At the corner of North Second and Barron streets, an arched brick bridge, which bad withstood floods for 30 years, gave way, and three negroes disappeared with the bridge. ne bodies have not been recover- ed. The storm commenced at to'clock this afternoon and the water fell in vast sheets, one cloud burst fol- lowing tke other the water courses rising above the divides and uniting into a foaming and rag- ing sea. The peopie in the por- tion of the city sutfering most fied from their houses. The firemenand police and hundreds of citizens rush- ed to the rescue, but the vater was too swift for themand at least six persons lost their lives by drowning in less than five minutes. The main Bosque and its tributa- ries are overflowing a large district and ruining valuable crops. The Brazos river is ten feet above the danger mark andis still rising. The peoperty loss in Waco will be fully $5,000. As the city is divided into sections by the high water all com- munication is cut off between the various divisions, and a complete list of the deadat this hour cannot be given. A TEXAS TOWN TORN BY A TORNADO. Blom, Texas, April 27.—A_ torna- do passed through the eastern part of this place at noon today destroy- ing several residences and a two- story school building. Two people were seriously hurt, and one of them Eunice Hanke, will die. She was caught between two timbers and re- ceived internal injuries. About 15 others were slightly hurt. Robert Mc(Cluakey’s vusiness house and the Baptist church were among the badly wrecked buildings; Leo Rob- ertson’s residence was demolished and Robertson probably fatally in- jared; Mrs. Robertson was hurt about the head. The storm started about three miles south of town and was nearly 200 yards wide. The : grain crop in the path of the storm is badly damaged and fruit trees are | broken and stripped of fruit.

Vhiladeiphia Times, The eyes ci the nation are focused upon New York politics.

Ji: sober truth, they doubt the possibility of re-electing the gallant ccio other words, they believ ger in the nation than in There are many evidences: cate the truth of this bel: nel Roosevelt was not elec overmastering plurality. is name did not set the Emire State aglow with patriotism, as was exrected. iis career, at first satisfactory to the people, was unsatisfactory to the boss of the State. Now the conditions are reversed, with a gen- eral sacrifice of publie enntidence. He bas proved weak where he was assumed to be strongest. Prior to election everybody weuld have sworn that, in the guberna‘oria! chair, Rooseveli would be his own master. His strong perscnality, his record as 2 police commissioner ais untiring energy as Assistant Secretary of the Navy encouraged this bope; but the State boss finally dominated him and destroyed his ia- dependence. The Republican party of New York is not t+ tny means united on Roosevelt. ‘Luere isa very strony anti-Platt sentiment in the party that could be relied upon to support roughly acceptable Deinovratie sandidate, such, for example, as sird S.

The Boers have ev- erywhere retired at ihe first pres- sure of the British advance and the bope that General Rundle wouid be able to induce them to remain at De- wet’s dorp until they had been fore- ed to fisht or to surrender has been disappointing.

At the most he will pethaps capt some oer guns and bayvage hurry the retreat- ing burghers. Considerable results have been at- tained in the relief of Wepener and in the clearing of the southeastern corner of the Pree State of the Boers, but the Boer army, whatever its streveth, has to be deals with. ~~ eo Growing Mustaches Up | | t \ > air eit Dic nae WS Case, ’ { ) a \ | } | | { | 37 ure and 4 ward, New York Sun. One way of wearing a mustache which is a novelty for New York, al thoueh common enough abroad, is now seen frequently here. It is not to be regarded, bowever, as an especially desirable fashion in any way. It was displayed here first by a prominent architect who had just returned from Paris, where he had seen the style for the first time. His friends were not able to say truth- fully that they admired it, nor were they more reconciled to the mode after it had grown more general. The mustache is trained to vrow up instead of down at the ends and the upper lip is shaved at both ends in a way that gives the mastache the appearance cf growing only from the centre of the lip and not at the ends as well. The eiTect is rather Japanese than French, gives the face a sardonic expression and has an appearance of artificiality that vives the style rather the charm of some exotic fashion, like a dwarfed tree or a cedar growing in tke form of some animal, than the more sub stantial beauty supposed to reside in amustache. This method of tri:n- ming amustache has grown popular during the winter, however, and the onty encouraging incident of the vogue is that it requires too much trouble to remain permanently popu- lar. —— ae em Great Fires in Canada.

As a result of the strategy of Lord Roberts, they were forced to retreat hastily. nearly losing a convoy of guns and abandoning the defence. Lord Roberts was present while the operations were in progress cn & kopje north of Karee, in which po- sition he was in heliograph commun- ication with each column. On the right Bruce and Hamilton’s brigade moved eastwardly along the line of a kopje communicating by a road with the railroad. In close touch followed Maxwell’s Brigade, with Wavell’s on the left, all under the command of Lieutenant General Tucker. -General Pole-Carew’s di- vision formed the centre advance, composed of Jones and Stevenson’s Brigades, while Hutton’s mounted infantry, made up mainly of Cana- dians, Australians and New Zea- landers, made a wide detour and ar- rived at the east of the town. The night before the occupation of Brandfort the British seized two kopjes commanding a deep and ugly spruit, which it was shown the Boers daily occupied. General Pole-Carew ordered two battalions of Guards to move silently after nightfall and occupy the kopjes, which was done without opposition. This greatly facilitated the advance, as the Boers relinquished the spruit, allowing the passage of the whole force unopposed. About three hours after the advance commenced heavy artillery firing was heard to the right. Maxwell, finding that the Boers had two guns posted on a good position, engaged them with his artillery at 1,500 yards range. Both sides fired furiously, but the Boers’ guns were soon completely Silenced. The gun fire was heard to the left, where General Hutton had come into touch with the Boers. Owing, however, to the unexpected arrival of the British the Boers left several small kopjes unoccupied, and seizing these, General Hutton open- ed with his batteries, directing Gen- eral Alderson to outflank the Boers on the left. The Boers, unable to withstand the shrapnel, evacuated their kopjes and streamed across the plain to- wards a small kopje immediately above the town. As they retreated the battery placed several shells with great accuracy in their midst, and they immediately retreated from their second position, a move that was perceived by Hutton, who sent a portionof his troops in pursuit. Remington seized the kopje seized by the Boers. Thereupon the Bo- ers retired, leaving thetown at the mercy of the British. In the mean- time General Alderson, trying to outtlank, found the Boers’ position His galloping Maxim received a heavy pompom fire and was obliged to retire. Ontheother side Max- well forced the Boers’ position. north. Several prisoners were taken, including a commandant, who had returnedin order to destroy the telegraph instruments. The townspeople declare that the Irish-American contingent with the Boers behaved riotously when the fighting began and refused to take partinit, only manning a kopje close to town. The military attaches with the Boers watched the fight through glasses from kopjes north of town, following the movements on maps. It appears that while watching the British advance in front they failed to perceive Hutton’s move- ment and his arrival caused them to retreat precipitately.

Dur- ine the artillery duel Wavell’s Bri- «ade came under the fire of the Boer cuns and was forced to retire. The Boers finally retired with two guns disabled, making good their re- treat.

Unusual interest in the is- sues involved seems to be felt. and the indications are that the meetings will be very numerous and largely attended and of course by a!l sorts and conditions of men, as they should be in a Democracy. “In the past six months the sinall- pox has prevailed in nearly half the counties of the State. |The month- ly reports for March show 437 cases for the month in twenty-eight coun- ties,and a number of cases in an- other county.

It is hardly worth while to say that an unvac- cinated man wedged in behind such a coat and breathing the exhalations from it would catch smallpox al- most to a certainty. “The idea of the possibility ofa deliberateand malicious spreading of the disease by some bitter partisan entered our mind, but was immedi- ately dismissed as asburd. We read, however, in this very morning, pa- per a statement of a case exactly in point, where2 man had had ‘three buggy whips wore out on him, be- cause he refused to be vaccinated, and threatened if possible to catch smallpox and spread it among his political enemies.

DETAILS OF THE STRUGGLE. Washington, May 2.—General Otis has so far not reported to the War Department the casualties sus- tained by the American garrison at Catubig. The ofticials believe that the general is holding back the news with the object of supplying with ii the namesof the yictims of the re The less reported in killed is the 10st severe suffered by the Ameri- can forces since the beginning of the insurrec! out even so, the offi- cials at the War Department could not but express theiradmiration for the heroic endurance and courage displayed by the little garrison, The Americans were quartered in the Catubig church, which the ene- my, nambering several bundred men, Surrounded and fiercely attack- ed. The Americans tought for two days and then the rebels managed to 1gnite the roof of thechurch and it burned away and finally fell upon those inside the edifice. The walls remained intact, however, and were usedasa shelter by the beseiged Americans for three days longer, the enemy attacking the building on all sides at once. The Americans continued firing from the windows and doors of the church and did great execution among the Filipinos. It is estimat- ed that over 280 of the latter were ikilled, many dead bodies being re- moved from the scene of the fighting. After five days resistance by the Americans a lieutenant and eight men arrived from Loan and engaged toe beseigers who thereupon retired. The fortunate arrival of these re- inforcements prevented the annihila tion of the American forces en- treached in the church, who had re- beatedly deciined to surrender when ordered to do so by the Filipinos. The ten survivors were without food, had little ammunition and were physically exhausted when re- heved. ANOTHER PARTY SURROUNDED.

W. D. Turner. Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor, and Mr. 5. L. Patterson, -caudidate for Commissioner of Agriculture. Mr. Patterson made a2 brief but strong speech. Mr. Turner is an interesting speaker. He vivdily portrayed the condition of the State under Repub- lican rule during the days of recon- struction, and also under fusion rule. Hisargsument for the smendment Was so clear that every one present. whether cultured or igrorant, could readily understand that it was not only Constitutional, but that no white man would be disfrauchised. “The Populist party bave refused to declare their posicion as to the amendment, and whenever any par- ty declines to take a stand on any question you may know they areaft- er pieand not principle. “Gar op- ponents attack our election law but our election law is fairer and just than the fasion law.” At the conclusion of his speech, Col.

(Applause ) We should do ail in our power to audard of morals and dig- in cotton mills.”” He said it would be wise for the asso- ciation to take steps toward estab- lishing a magazine. Thee. IF. Search, President of the National Manufacturers’ Associa- tion of Philadelphia, then made an address ¢n foreign markets for American goods, and how to devel- op them. The speaker said that during the year 1839 exports of raw cotton from amounted to$191,167,342, while ex- the United States ports of cotton cloth were only $19,- 968,470. For every dollar’s worth of cotton cloth exported last year ten dollars’ werth of raw cotton was furnished to manufacturers i: Great Britian and Europe. These conditions ought to be reversed. Onaccount vf the peculiar condi- tions under which our mills dispose of their products, through commis- sion merchants, the speaker attrib- uted this state of affairs. For thus the mills do not come in direct touch with buyers, either here or abroad; heuce they know only second hand of conditions. Also the require- ments of foreign markets as to width, color, payments,ete., are im- portant factors in the development of foreign trade. This is expan- sion. here need be no fear that we will have too many cotton mills, but rather.a market too sma!l to re- ceive the output. Arthur HB. Lowe,former presijent of the New Eagland Manufacturers’ Association, then spoke on the pro- duction of fine cotton goods by American manufacturers, coafining his remarks to the discussion of fine finished colored goods. He said that so much of the cost of goods 1s in labor that Americun manufacturers cannot compete with foreign unless there be reasonable tariff to protect them. American designers produce putterns asartisticas any foreign markets. Utlicers of the association were elected this afternoon as follows: President, Dr. J. H. McAden, Char- lotte:; Vice President, J. P. Ver- dery, Augusta, Ga.; Secretary and Treasurer, George B. Hiss, of Char- lotte; Board of Directors, A. P. Rhyne, R. R. Ray, B. E.

The T.ondon Daily Express recent- ly published a series of telegrams which illustrate the alarming spread of the bubonie plague, which is ray- aging the shores of the Red Sea and is rapidly increasing at Hong Kong, where there have been 65 cases in twenty days, and is spreading into additional towns in Australia. The report of the Bureau of Sta- tistics cf the U. S.

We estimete that there are the representatives of at least fifty Northern mill concerns prospecting dailyalong thé Southern Railway for timber land. Recently there has been a movement of pulp mil men looking to the South with the view of establisbing large pulp mllls on the Southern Railway.

One of The Populist Conventions. - Charlotte News. 30th Populist conventions on the The reg- ular convention at Sioux Falls nom- for President and ver Republ:can, for Vice-President, There was the greatest enthusiasm when Bryan was named by Senator Allen, and seconded by Gen. James b. Weaver, and he was nominated by acclamation. There was quite a wrangie over whether a candidate for Vice-President shou!d be nomi- rated, in the course of which Sena- tor Butler made a speech favoring a nomipnaticu in which he declared. “Wemust not crucify our party under the mistaken idea that this is the best way to elect Bryan.” Tke platform congratulates the country on Lhe extension of Popu- list principics and extends assur- ances of support to its allies in the struggle for financial and economic treedom. Tie tinancial act of March 14, 1900, is Genounced in strong terms; ademand is made for re-op- ening the miuts ofthe United States for the free cuinage of silver at the ratio of 16 te 1; an income tax and a postal savizys bank are demand- ed; trusts are denounced; tariffs on goods controlied by trusts are to be abolished; the administration’s con- duct in chunging the warfrom one oi humanity to one of conquest is denounced; the Porto Rican tariff is a gross wrong:efforts to establish a large standing army meet hearty disapproval; the sympathy of the convention 1s extended to the Boers in South Africa; the importation of contract laborers is denounced. The Middie of-the-Road Populists at Cincinnati (the boiters) nominat- ed Wharton Barker, of Pennsylva- nia, for President, and Ignatius Donnelly, of Minneapolis, for Vice- President. The platform endorses the initiative and referendum, Sut ignores the imperative mandate. A Frighttu! Blunder Will often cause a horrible Burn, Seald, Cut or orvise.

One of the most hopeless features of the whole affair is contained in the statement of a special corres- pondent at Simla. who writes: *‘Ten limes the total relief could be laid outina single district without ful ly removing its distress. All we can hope for is a succession of good years to put the people on their legs again. An exchange says: ‘War has slainits thousands, but pestilence and famine are slaying their tens of thousands. The British casualties in the present war in South Africa have been, as we remember, not quite 20,000. Hardly a quarter of these, however, have been killed, the greater part being losses from capture and wounds. The number of men killed in battle in the Union armies during the civil war was 67,- 053, the number dying of wounds 43,012, dying of disease 199,720, with deaths from accidents and other causes 40,154. Total deaths in the Union army 349,944. The number of Confederate soldiers who died of wounds or disease was 133,821. These latter are terrible losses aud yet the number of famine-stricken people in India today is 93,500,000, and with the most strenuous effort of the English yvovernment and the charity of the world at large there is hope for relief for only 5,000,000 of the 93,500,000 starving human be- a A gents. tacked General Mojica’s stronghold near Ormue Leyte [sland. had a brass cannon and plenty of zmmunition, but after three hours of fighting the insurgents fled.

Last week a young mule belonging to Wesiey Miiam, who lives near Brown's ford onthe river 4 miles above here, tried tocommit suicide by jumping into wv well thirty feet deep, having several feet of water in it, the fixtures of which were not complete thus admitting the mule. Mr. Milam heard the mule braving and on investigating saw his head and ears above the water in the bet- tomof the well. It was an hour be- fore the necessary windlass and neighbors arrived to rescue him. A rope was tied behind the frost leys of the animal with whichihe was drawn out—immediately reaching terra firma he proceeded to than! his rescuers by the nimbie use of his ‘business eud”’ Clyde R. Hoey, editor of the Shel- hy Star, has been re-nominated for the House by the Democrats of Cleveland county. E. Y. Webb was endorsed for the Senate. The expenses of Richmond Pear- son in his recent contest for Con- eress were $20,000, and a bill has been introduced in Congress to pay them.

Sherrill and Miss Daisy Millis. Miss DeEtte Bonham, of Creston, | His people had borne it all as ;lvterest of thin they were as good as white nen, and on the streets aad high- Ways they became insolent. Chil- dren on the streets were :cuifed and Spit upon, and ladies were jostled and insuited. In many sections white teachers and children were afraid to travel the public roads to jand from school, and many of the schools suspended. The attendance of pupils at white schools fell off 33 per cent., while the negro schools increased 20 per cent. Low dema- /gogues and offlee holders kept the ' blacks ; against the men of their own race. stirred up and intlamed Respectable white men and inno ! ° ,cent women were arrested on false charges by negro constables to be tried before negro magistrates. He | spoke only of the conditions that ex- i isted in his own county. But there were thirty other Eastern counties that sutfered the same evils and could tell a tale equally harrowing. pa- tiently as they could, much more patiently and much longer than the people of the West would have stood it. All sections of the State and all parties, are equally interested in seeing this negro question settled peaceably, lezally, avd tothe best both races. 126,000 white voters are practically disfran- chised, and their baliots nullitied by tbe votes of 120,000 negroes. He had no ill willagainst the negro. If let aloae, he was a peaceable docile citizen. It was only ia palities. when stirred up by bad white men, that his vice and ignorance became 2 menace to the public welfare. He admired a self-made man and he bad only kind feelings for the ne- gro that God made, but he had a contempt for these self-made negroes —white men who were traitors to their own race and lowered them- selves to an equality with the ne- yro. Wr. Kitchin took up the constitu- tional amendment and explained its provisions clearly and forcibly. He showed that every negro must be able to read and write before he can vote. Every white man will vote, whether he can read and write or not, because he was born free. In Louisiana, which has a constitution lixe ours, when the time for regis- tration came, the white people of the State, led by a United States Senator anda Justice of the Su- preme Court, marched to the regis- trar and had their names put on the permanent roll of voters, not on the ground that thev could read and write, but they waived that privi- lege und had their names inscribed on the permanent rol! on the ground that they were white men and their ancestors had been voters. So it wiii be in North Carolina, and no white man ne matter how ignorant or illiterate he may be, who regis- ters before the year 1908, will ever be deprived of his vote. Boys of 13 years and under, who will not reach their majority until after 1908, will have to learn to read and write be- fore tbey can yote. They have eight years in which to meet the simple and easy require- meuts of the constitutional amend- ment. Whatan incentive that will be towards the better education of curchildren and the wiping out of illiteracy. The Democratic party is pledged to give a four months term of schooleach year in eyery white school district in the State. The last Democratic Legislature, under the leadership of an Iredell Democrat, beyzan the good work,and made a proof of our good faith, by uppropriating $100,000 to be distrib- uted among the free schools. Allin all, it was a great speech and fully sustained Mr. Kitchin’s reputation as one of North Caroli- na’s ablest and most eloquent young sons. He left yesterday morning for Davie county, where he has three appointments. ances Captain T. M. C. Davidson re- cently received a letter from his son James, who is in the Philippines with the 46th Infantry. Jim writes that his company recently went on araid, in which they captured 75 ‘niggers,’ 3guns aud apistol. Jim found two of the guns and was com- plimented publicly by his general. James is in his element as a soldier and we venture the assertion that Uncle Sam has no jollier or braver boy in his service. Jim sent his father a box of fine Manila cigars.

The people of Davidson were shocked to hear of a sad happening last Thursday afternoon. The little four-year-old girl of Dr. E. Q. Hous ton was standing before the fire- place when her dress caught on fire. Mrs. Houston tried to wrap the child in a blanket but was unable to hold it until she could procure one. She then screamed for help and Mr. W. H. Thompson, one of the college students, heard the call and motion- ed for Dr. Cheatam to follow. By their efferts the child’s life was sav- ed Mr. Cheatam tore the clothes the meantime the mother had the presence of miad to get a bucket of water with which she rendered some service. Fortunately the blaze was at the child’s back instead of its face. Its back was severely burned but not fatally. Mrs. Houston, Dr. Cheatam and Mr. Thompson got their hands burned but not seriously. Mr. Glasgow, who was bitten sometime ago by a mad dog, has returned from Baltimore where he underwent 2 treatment of several weeks’ duration in order to prevent hydrophobia. He says that it was not severe but by no mieans_pleas- ant. Mr. Glasgow hesitated about going for treatment a week or more, as so many people doubted the mad- ness of the dog. : The college Mandolin and Guitar and Glee clubs were highly enter- tained at the home of our honored professor. Dr. H. L. Smith, on the evening of the 11th, and fortunately or unfortunately found one lady to every four boys. Though the la- dies were outnumbered they were not out-talked.

Asheville Special to Raleigh Post, 1¢th. Hon. Locke Craig returned from Knoxville, Tenn., where he arrang- ed a compromise of suits against his client, Baxter Shemvweil, with the Knoxville bank. Civil suit being settled, no further effort will be made to push criminal action or ar- rest Shemwell under extradition issued by Governor Russell. It is expected that Shemwell will return here at once. The Knoxville bank made a determined fight against the Asheville druggist, and his at- torney bas fought successfully. Detectives and sheriffs from Ten- nessee have been here several times and the last time Shemwell’s resi- dence and several private houses were searched. The officers believe he was here and had a narrow es- cape from capture. Details of the alleged offense have never been di- vulged ty either party and the terms of compromise are not obtain- able.

Almost all the preju- dice white men have against negroes is caused by their activity in politics. If they are disfranchis- ed, the white men will see that they get justice in the courts and that they are not imposed upon by mean white men. In every community the negroes who are best liked by white men and who get along best in the world are never see. at elec- tions. Our readers can cite exam- ples of the truth of this in every neighborhood. On} the other han1 the most vicious and trifling negroes are the loudest-mouthed in politics. We believe the enfranchisement of the negroes was the worst thing that could have happened to them. for their votes have been used to their own and their white ueigh- bors’ injury, and that the white people of North Carolina will be conferring a real benefit upon the negroes when they take their right to vote away from them. * * In the white counties of North Carolina the evils of negro suffrage have been felt as well as in the coun- ties which have negro majorities. While the white counties have not had negro officers, they have had the negro politician and the bad influ- ence which he exerts in our political contests and the demoralization which he creates among our labor- ers. If there never had beena negro officer in North Carolina, it’s best for the white men of every county that thenegroes be disfranchised. To get their votes is a constant temptation to both parties in close counties to resort to coercion and bribery, and such methods are a menace to our free institutions. The white men of North Carolina will be untrue to themselves and to un- born generations if they fail to rid the politics of their State of the fes- tering sore ofignorant negro sutf- rage. Unless all signs fail, they will be true, and the great mass of negroes will vote no moreafter this year. * Pa Ca Four Repulicans voted with the Of course to dress | Democrats on the committee to al-|Phe barn was totally destroyed and low Congressman Rhea to retain the fore the advance in woolens for the cash there-|seat to which he was elected by the | and a buggy. people of the Ninth Congressional district of Virginia, but Congress- man Linney, of North Carolina, “went MRepublican.’’ Heand one other Republican - voted forWalker, the defeated candidate.

The dwelling house, which is about 50 yards from the barn, was also struck by lightning. A chimney was knocked down and the plaster- ing was shattered in various parts ofthehouse.

Continuing his letters tothe Ral- eigh News aad Observer, Editor Daniels writes from Baton Rouge, La., on May 14th: **T would count my visit to Louisi- ana to have been one of the pleasant- est of my life evenif [had not gath- ered facts that throw a flood of light upun the method employed by these people toachieve three great results, earnestly desired by every white man in the South: 1. Eliminating the necro. 2. Guaranteeing the right to vote to every white man, whether educa- ted or not. 3. Purifying politics. In the gathering of the facts to show that these things have been ac- complished here, it has been my good fortune to make the acquaintance of some of the finest men that walk the earth. Of the older and more wide- ly known men, to whom I owe a debt of gratitude for courtesies, I have already written. One of tke tirst young men in Louisiana, is Mr. Jared Y. Sanders, of St. Mary’s par- ish, who will in a few days be unani- mously elected Speaker of the House. He is one of the best-posted men in the State, Though only thirty-cne years old, he has been a member of the Legislature ten years, was a member of the Constitutional Con- vention that framed the amendment, and the distinguished late Judge Semmes paid him the compliment of saying that his speech in the con- vention advocating section five was “the most masterly presentation of the white man to vote’’ that he had ever heard. When the convention was trying to arrive at the best suf frage amendment, Mr. Saoders was one of the leaders who insisted on the proyision known as the “grandfather clause.’’ Speaking to me last night about the convention he said: ‘‘For one 1 covld never have voted for any amendment that would deny the right of suffrage to the white men of my State who had not enjoyed the advantages of an ed- ucation. They and their ancestors gave freely of thesr blood in the ser- vice of the Confederacy, in 1876 they shouldered their guns toend negro and carpet-bag rule, and since then they have stood firmly, consistently and bravely when necessary for WhiteSupremacy. Section five pro- tects these white mer forever in the exercise. of suffrage.

This looks a little strange coming from such a boasted ‘“‘non-partisan”’ and believer in ‘‘fair elections”’ as the able lawyer who represents the Lighthdistrict of North Carolina. * * Our countyman, Col. H. C. Cowles, is right in the swimin Re- publican pelitics this year. He ran the county convention here and was one of Pritchard’s lieutenants at the State convention. At the recent Senatorial and Congressional ccon- ventions he was the ‘“‘big chief,’’ He was elected one of the delegates to the National convention from this district, and seems to be Pritchard’s chosen lieutenant in these parts. Saturday morning, in passing Mr. J. S, Leonard’s music store on Center street, we heard the glad notes of the organ and the tri- umphant voice of that great singer as he chanted his pean of joy at the victory of his countyman, Col. Cowles. Ordinarily our eojoyment of music is marred and dulled by our inability to comprehend it, but in Joe Leonard’s music we recognized the ecstacy of a human soul permeating the finger tipsand swelling to the lips to be uttered in sweet, giad, beautiful sound tints; and as we lis- tened, sucn was the magic spell of the music, we could see victorious armies marching home, civic heroes in the height of great forensic tri- umphs and glad lovers in the mo- ment of acceptance by the women [they loved. It was bedutiful—it Ratdch upon the crowd assaulted Sandin and beat him until he was almost insensible. His face was badly dis- figured and he was bloody almost. from head to foot. A number of white men at this point attempted to come to the aid of the policeman, but were immediately knocked down with spikes or shot at with pistols. At one time a terribie riot was imminent; much mischief would have been done by the negroes, all of whom were drunk, but for the prompt and determined action of white merchants and railroad em- ployes of the town. Several negroes were wounded, but not fatally. Several white men were painfully injured. The gang has sent word that they intend to visit the town again and kill the policeman. The whites will be ready when they come agair. The action of the negroes was to- tally without excuse or provocation and was a complete surprise to the white people of the town. 2 At least fifteen or twenty people on the two sides were injured. Story of a Slave, To be bound hand and foot for vears by the chains of disease is the worst form of slavery. George D. Williams, of Manchester, Mich, tells how such a slave wag made free. He says: ‘‘My wife has been so help- less for five years that she couid not turn over in bedalone. After using two bottles of Electric Bitters, she is wonderfully improved and able to do her own work.This supreme rem- edy for female diseases quickly cures nervousness, sleeplessness, melan- \choly, headache, backache, fainting and dizzy spells.

P.; APuggn set Te negroes are glad that the amend ment was adopted, and do not hesi- tate to say so.’’ In former times, so I gathered from several sources, the elections in St. Mary’s parish were not as quiet as the one this year. In fact, when 3,000 negroes were entitled to vote, there wasalways fear of trou- ble. and the white peopic found it necessary in order to have white rule to suppress the negro vote. It negro se*tions of the entire South, until the best people determived to end the troubles by alegal elimina- tion of the negro. Now the contest is between white men only, and it is as houest and peaceable as any elec- tion anywhere, so Governor Foster and Mr, Sanders both tell me, and is the universal testimony. Speaking of conditions in other parishes, Mr. Sanders instanced the parish of Calcasieu, the borders on the State of Texas, which is largely populated by Western white men, some of whom are unable to read and write. They registered under sec- tion five and voted all right—and vote the Democratic ticket mostly. In the belt of counties en.bracing such parishes as Tensas, Concordia, East Carroll, and: Madison the ne- gro vote before the amendment was adopted amounted to between 12,000 and 15,000. Under the new consti- tution, there were not more than 20 negro votes cast, and in those par- ishes there were not to exceed 1,500 white votes registered and cast. “I tell vou,” said Mr. Sanders, earnestly, ‘‘unless you have been through heated elections in negro sections, you cannot imagine the ‘feeling of relief the people of large | sections of this State have now that 1 elections are quiet, peaceable and ter The time has been in Louisi- and whet thé. omen’ S.11Ve | flied with fear during election times. They knew that their husbands and rule and that their determination knew that if the negroes determin- ed to assert themselves and vote, trouble would follow. Consequent- ly the women were deeply interested iy an uinordment that would put an end toz Gangerand toall jeopardy. They are bappiee over the success- ful working of the amendment than tbe men.for they feel and know that when their husbands and brothers go tothe election, no bloodshed or trouble is to be feared. Ifspace permitted, I could give two or three columns of ccncise and plain statements given me -by Mr. Sanders on the prectical work- ings of the amendment and the good results that have followed its adoption. He is not only well post- ed, but one of the best politicians in Louisiana, a man of magnificent physique—as perfect a speciman of manhood as you will find. If he could talk to the voters of North Carolina,with lucidity and ability which characterizes hisspeeches, he would convert the most skeptical, and cause every white man and wo- man in North Carolina who longs for White Supremacy and horest and peaceful elections to work eariy and late to secure the adoption of the Constitutional Amendment.

The rest were found locked in their quarters. One of the wound- ed has since died. The murderer is being pursued, The wounded say they were playing cards in the smoking room about 11:30 o'clock, with other passengers, when some- body put his head inthe room and exclaimed: **Look out; there’s a massacre on board!”’ At the same moment shots were heard. Allsprang to their feet in order to leave the cabin, but they found the doors fastened on the out- side. While they were trying to force the door a sbot was fired through the window and hit one of them,a man named Karlson], who fell tothe floor. The other three, Konditor, Schneider and Lindquist, burst the door. Lindquist, who was the first to step through,receiv- ed a bullet in his head. Disregard- ing the wound, he ran after the as- sassin, to the steerroom, The fugi- tive shouted down the speaking tube: “Full speed ahead!’’ The engines were already at full speed, and the engineer replied: ‘Is that the cap- tain?’’ and received the answer, Certainly, drive her to the devil.”’ The engineer put the engines at full speed astern. Theassassin ran down to the engine room and threat- ened to shoot the engineer if he did not obey. The engineer barricaded himself in the room. At that mo- ment the Koping came along and the murderer fled ina boat. Further details from Koping show that the man suddenly started shutting all the doors of the cabins and saloons, and then, with a revolver in either hand and with a dagger anda knife in his belt, began firing at every one he encountered. He stabbed the captain in the back and a lady passengerin the breast with the dagger and hacked a boy with the knife.

STEELE. JAMES A. BLACK. HOLTON DECLINES. Republican Chairman Holton de- clines Chairman Simmons’ proposi- tion for joint discussions between the Democratic and Republican State candidates, and it’s probably well for Mr. Holton and bis party that he took this course. Man for wan. the Republican candidates do net measure up with their Demo- cratic opponents and the arguments in this Campaign are all with our people. It’s a confession of wesk- uess ic the Republican position that this proposition was declined. Democrats have nothing to fear from afree and open discussion of the amendment and the other issues ef this campaign, but the Republi- cans seem to prefer. to make their charges against the amendment at times and places where no Demo- crat will be allowed to meet them It may be asked why Chairman Simmons declined the Populist proposition fora joint discussion. He made thai plain in his letter, bu it can be stated here that the Popu- lists are notthe real opponents cf Democracy this year. Outof prob- ably 590,000 votes tu be cast this year, no izformed Pepulist will claim that bis party's State ticket will receive 29,000 votes. In a cam- paign of this importance the Demo- crats should attend to their real op- ponents, the Republicans, and Chairman Simmors bas done his best to have the issues jointly dis- cussed by the candidates of the two great parties, only to Hnd that the -- Republicans refuse. No subterfuge. or play upon words, will conceal the fact that the Republicans fear joint discussions this year and Chairman Holton’sdeclination to have them Surprises no one. — --—— oe ee ---- €x-Solicitor John Q. Holton, of Yadkinville, is the Republican nom- inee for Corgress inthis district. Of course, he will be defeated by Con- gressman Kluttz, who will be re- nominated by the Democrats.

Justices; Brewer, Brown and McKenna also| dissented from portions of the} opiuion. In dismissing the writ of error the chief justice said the court shouid be the last to overstep | tion aud that in the determination of causes of this character contests fcr State ottices must necessarily be settled by the political branch of the government. That branch had acted in the Kentucky case when the General Assembly took jurisdic tion. There was no appeal from the Assembly's decision, which was fa- vorable to Goebel and Beckham, ex- cept tothe tribugal of the pecple, which tribunal, the chief justice said, was always in session. He also said the case was purely a State case; that Kentucky was in the full possession of its faculties as 2 mem- ber of the Union and that there was no emergency at this time call- ing for interference of the general government to enforce constitution- al guarantees or to put down do- mestic violence. ‘For more than 100 years.’’ says the chief justice, “‘the constitution of Kentucky has proved that con- tested elections fer Governor and Lieutenant Governor shall be de- termined by the General Assembly. The highest court of the State has often held and in the present case bas avain declared that under their constitutional provisions the power of the General Assembly to deter- mine the result is exclusive and its decision is not open to judicial re- view. Many of the States have sim- ilar constitutional provisions and similar statues. “We do not understand this statue to be ebjected to as in any manner obnoxious to constitutional object, but that plaintiffin error complains of the action of the General Assem- ’ ecided the Kentucky governorship | Bruce Neill, of Granite Hill, ileaving town on his way home and) the bounds limiting its own jurisdic- | bly uncer the statue and uncer the clinivg to disturb that action.” The chief justice quoted numer- ovs decisions holding that public ollices are mere agencies or trusts and not property as such, nor are the salary and emoluments proper- ty, secured by contract, but com- pensaticn for sevices actually ren- dered. ‘“‘Inshort,’’ he said, “the nature of the relation of a public officer to the public is, generally speaking, inconsistent with either a property or 2 contract right.” After quoting section 4, article 14. of the constitution, in which the United States guarantees to every Staiea republican form of govern- ment, ete., the court says it was long Since settled that the enforce- ment of this guarantee belonged to the political department. ‘We must decline to take jurisdiction on the ground of deprivation of rights embraced by the fourteenth amend- ment, without due process of law, or of the violation of the guarantee of the republican form of govern- ment by military deprivation. The writ ef erroris dismisssed.’’ A sim- ilar order was enteriained in the injunction case becween the same parties. There were three dissenting opin- ions delivered by Justices Mclen- na, Brown and Harlan. The latter, however, was the only member of the court fayoring a reversal of the decision of theKentucky court. He quotes the case of Wilson vs. North Carolina In support cf his conten- tion.

He has all the essentials for success, as his ca- reer in the House of Representatives has shown. For the last two ses- sions he has been easily the ieader of that body, and it was his record there that gained for him the honor of election to the presidency of the State Democratic convention. This position had been assigned other- wise by the slate-makers, but their scheme was shrewdly flanked and opposition could not be concentrat- ed against the brainy member from Chesterfield.

We got an inkling Tuesday that the Populists were contemplating offer- ing their nomination for register cf deeds to H. C. Summers, Esq.. of Shiioh township. Squire Summers was in townand we mentioned the matter to bim. He informs us that he will not accept their nomination and would not accept it if he was sure the nomination would beequiv- alent to an election. He went on to say that he is a stronger Democrat now than ever, and that he felt hu- mil:ated that the Populists should think that his recent defeat in the county convention for this same ottice should now cause him to de- sert his ltfe iong principles. He was justly indignant that any man who knew him should think him ca- pable of deserting the cause of his race in this hour of se ere aia ‘Squire Summerssubmitted grace- aaa a tally to a ruling in 1896 which de- Misses Fannie Allen Copelaxd, | rived him of a nomination for reg- Addie McElwee, Mattiebec Cooper |iter of deeds which he and his = Jessie Fowler gave > party to|¢iands thought was justly his. ln i their friends at the elegant home Of |\the campaign which followed no V.

The Supreme Court had declared that no law could be de- | clared unconstitutional that did not | chow this unconstitutionality on its | ‘face. He then took up the amend- \ynent and clearly showed how the | fifth dause did not contravene the ‘idth amendment of the United States constitution, as under this iclause any negro whose ancestor | voted here prior to 1825 or in any jof the Siates prior to 1867 could the negro on the same footing as the white man. He enumerated the blessings to from the amendment. It the white man and let Jt would be the death of ‘‘bossisus,’’ no longer could a Republican chairman prom- {se and deliver 120,000 negro votes. jt would take the negro out of poli- tics and remove him as a poiitical factor. With 75,000 negro voters eliminated the State no longer need fear negrorule. It would add an incentive to education. No boy of 13 or under but could learn to read and write with the added advant- ages. He shywed how legislation would be cheapened by an instance from Wilmington under negro rule. No poor white man would be depriv- ed of his ballot by the amendment because he could not pay his tax, for the commissioners could excuse him that tax. The poll tax clause did not affect old soldiers, for no man had to pay poll tgx iv this State after the ayo of 30. The amend- ment wasiutended to eliminate the illiterate negro vote. These ex- slayes for 30 years had been going yp and voting against the men who befriended them, against the best interests of the State, they thought not of the principle but-voted‘‘black”’ always, The unrest in the east and itsrace troubles had sprung from this yery case The Republicans have a poor way of sLowing they wished white rule. The party, four- fifths of which were negroes, Was On the same footing as the race of this dominant element. The negro cannot be blamed for desiring to hold office, but the white ority. The negro can never become a political factor wher al; parties stand opposed to negro rule. The professor grew very touch- ing oecause as he claimed, the better class of negroes, the old ex- slaves, would be disfranchised. while the» negro dudes in town would he allowed to vote. He became so wrought up vcr this deplor able picture that he came pear shedding a few weeps. Hewas very hardon the dudes, entirely over- looking the fuct that these and not the ex slaves are the leaders of his arty. He devoted ten minutes to discus- sing the unconstitutionality of sec- tion five, the “grandfather clause,’ of theamendment, quoting as thority the opinions of some half dozen Senators, all byt twa of whom are Republicans or Populists, those two having supported a similar After stating that his father had been a soldier in the Union army in the civil war, he waxed wonderfully pathetic because some of the old Confederate veterans might lose their [ranckise through their inabil- ity to read and write or to pay their poll tax. He slaudered the intelligence and progressiveness of North Carolina by stating that if the amendment was passed the State could not furnish schools to teach the boys under thirteen to read aad write by the year 1908 and that 30,000 of these boys would be disfranchised. He quoted from the census of 1890 to show that 23 per cent. of the popu- lation of North Carolina was illit- erate, but did nat state what per cent. of these were white boys ua- der thirteen or what the decrease in illiteraey had been in the last ten years He wound up his speech with a discussion of the poll tax feature of the amendment, stating that many white mep would by it be deprived of their right tq vote. Mr Turner began by stating that the question thiseyear was a great social question, the answer to which must be ‘“‘yea’’ or ‘“‘nay;’’ there was no midule ground. The question is “who shall rule in North Carolina, the white man or the negro?” He had no harsh words for the colored man, but would accord him all his rights under the law. In an- swer to the charge of broken Demo- eratic promises he said that the Legislature of ‘99 had a duty to per- form, a duty to the people of the State. Neither Simmons nor Pou had aright to pledge the party to any particular course of action, and they alone were responsible for their opinions, the party acts far itself and is not ruled by a “boss.” But even if such promises were made as the Republicans charged, the action of the party did not controvert these, for the party could not dis- franchise a single man and had not did not desire the negroes except to repeat that he was in fa- amendment should out in the first round, in the ‘act that circumstances favored him, for he had no interruption, but as court convened at of men were compelled to leave in the middle of Mr. Turner’s We fear that the projessoi will pot be so anxious for a division of the next time the amendment is to be discussed here.

The people would decide, theirs was the right to restrict or enlarge. The constitution of “68 that gave the negroes the right to vote was adopted by the votes of 70,000 ex- slaves, who had no right to vote and 2,000 white Republicans; while 30,000 ex Confederates were not _al- lowed to vote on this question The election was not held by the people; of the State, but was controlled Dy Federal soldiers under the command of General Canby at Charleston and the vote was counted there by men of his selection. The illiterate ne- wro put the constitution on the statute books, but the vote of all the people will decide whether he shall continue to vote.

The answer vas received today, confirming the press reports and adding some in- teresting details. General MacArthur transmitted a report from Henry T. Allen, a ma- jer of the Forty-third Volunteer Regiment, who commanded ihe forces on the island of Samar. It appears that this force was divided among several ports on Samara, and while details were still lacking, it is athat this particular force, beveVvec which was beseiged at Catubig, was | commanded. not by a commissioned officer, but by a sergeant, either George, or Hall, both of whom are ‘rilled. Catubig, where the engace- ment occurred, is a seaport town of nearly 10,000 inhabitants.

From time to time we have pub- lished in these columns able argu ments from leading attorneys in support of the constitutionality of the amendment. As of the ablestof these lawyers have been ieaders in political life. the writers ef the black-and-tan party have said, ‘O, they are politicians, ané they persuade themselves to believe what they «wish to believe.” Of course that is no answer to the ar- gumebts made, but it is on a par with the methods employed by the negro party. This week's Oxford Public Ledger contaius an opinion that will have such weightas to silence all the op- position to the amendment. It is as follows: Oxford, N. C., May 14, 1900. The undersigned member of the North Carolina bar, after having examined and considered the pro visions of the proposed@amendment to the constitution submitted by the Legislature of 1899 to the peo- ple for ratification. give it as my Some opinion that the said amendment is not in coaflict with either the Fed- eral Constitution or anything in the State Constitution in ing the same. 1 furtber wive it as my opinion that the 4th and Sth sections of said amendment are so connected in sub- ject matter,each so clearly condi tioned and dependent — upon the — otber, that both must staud or full together, anu that it is too clear toudmit of a doubt that the 4th section cannot stand if the Oth section should be declared un- coustitutional. It is clear that this amendment, if ratified, will not disfranchise either now or hereafter, any person who was himself entitled to vote prior to 1867, or whose ancestor was entitied to vote at auy time pricr to 1867, either in ubis State or in any State in the United States in which he then resided, provided he registers once before 1908 and does pot thereafter become disqualitied by crime.

Thompson, of Havana, local effice. has signed a sworn statement in which be sa/s that on September 16, last, being in need of money, he took from the mouey order funds 3435, vivinyg his memorandum asa receipt for the same. When the inspections were beld, Mr. Thompson ordered a clerk in charge of the money order de- partment to place remittances re ceived that day which would sot have to be accounted for -until the following day sufficient te cover the amountof his receipt, which was then withdrawn until after the in- spection. This waskept up until April 7, when the special agents unexpected- ly discovered the receipt, which Mr. Thompson then paid. He also ad- mits that Chas. F. Neely, late ofh- cial agent of posts, at Havana, in- dorsed a bill for $550 which Thomp- son had discounted by the North American Trust Company. Thomp- son admits other irregularities in connection with his department. It is asserted by lawyers that ov Mr. Thompson's own statement, he is liable to arrest for embezziement, uccording to the provisions of the postal laws,which are very explicit. Much sympathy is expressed for nim, however, as it is felt that noth- ing would ever have been heard re- yvarding the action to which he has confessed had not the present inves- tivation growing out of the general postal frauds brought the matter to light. His friends are positive that the money would have been repaid, the memorandum receipt taken up wud the incident thus closed. As the affair now stands, Mr. Thompson's career in the postal service must necessarily cease, even if he escapes a term of imprisen- ment. Moreover, his action in giv- ing orders to postal clerks to altar ligures regarding stamps at the re- quest of Garrydon Rich, without notitiying Mr. Rathbone, makes things look worse, even if be acted innocently in the belief that every- thiny wes correct. : four postal inspectors arrived this morning aod after conferences with General Wood ard Mr. Rathbone, immediately began work. Mr. Rath- bone deciares that there is not the slightest jealousy between the mili- tary autborities and the postal de- partment here. and that General Wood and himself are working in perfect harmony with reference to all steps taken. The local papers praise General Wood for the inde- fatigable manner in which he has handled the investigation. Early cevelopment connected with the trauds, it is asserted, tends to show the far-reaching intluence of Neely, while endeavoring to exorerate him self. The only person, however, who willbe accepted by the author- ities asa witness for the State. is Carrydon Rich, who will not be placed in jail, but will be closely watched, as it is felt that his testi- mony is absolutely indispensable. ARRESTS MADE, Warrants were issued this even- ing for the arrest of E. 2. Thomp- son, the Havana postenaster; W. H. Reeves, deputy auditor of the island, and Edward Moya and Jorge Masea- ro, Cuban clerks in the stamp de. partment, and by 7o'clock ail were iodzed in the Vivae, or the Tombs of Havana. This was done unde the advice of the postal inspec:ors, who arrived today. Itis cansidered now that Reeves is equally guiley with Neely. ee The People Demand it. Raleigh News and Observer, The orators of the black and-tan party are going through the Srate proclaiming that the Democrats in o subinitting the amendment acted contrary to the popular demand Asa matter of fact, after the revo ution in Wilmington and the terri. dle tension of October and Nover der, 1898, there was a universal Go- mand for the elimination of the ne #ro, and ieading Republicans ane Democrats joized in that demand Dr. Cyrus Thompson voived wit was universal when he said, shortiy after the election: f “It is evident that the Democrats will have to eliminate the segro question nox I do not tbink that the people who have given the Democratic party power will be satisfied with anythingelse than the elimination of the negro from poli- tics in North Carolina.”’ In view of the necessity of elimi: nating the negro vote the Levisia- ture would have violated the trust and expectations of the people if they had not put it in the power of the voters to stop negro rule in North Carolina. The Legislature could not and did not disfranchise anybody. It submits to the voters whether they wish to be rid of the bi negro vote which has been used for bad government and has engen- dered strife and trouble between the races. J.C.

Adams, the Re- publican candidate for Governor. taken from the Caswell! Democrat, a reputable newspaper published at Judge Adams’ former home, which slows the judge to be a regular ne- gvo-loving white man. At one elec- tion, when negroes were running for oflice. he exclaimed at the polls: **Al] you white people come and see me vote for negroes.”’ This white man not only voted for negroes but gio- ried init. Theold State has had a few very ordinary men for Gover. nors, but we do not believe she will everelect a man of Adams’ stripe to that great office. Think of it, white men of North Carolina, here’s a white man who not only voted for negroes but proclaimed his shame from the house-tops!

Repuili- stands. Asa last resort the Republican thairman made the thin-air argu meotof the unconstitutionality of the amendment, saying, “alow can you vete for the amendment when you took an oath to support the constitution?” Quick as a flash ‘Sautre Pritchett replied by asking this question, ‘Who says tbe umendment 1s unconstitutional ?

The war in South Africa is near- ing theend. and it begins to look as though the Boers wi!!l surrender Without another great battle and that there willbe no stubborn de- fence of Pretoria, but that peace will be declared before the British cada begin the seige of the Boer cap- ital. Lord Roberts has driyen the Seers af every point and is now in donennesburg—che center of the sold district, his advance guard be- ing only 20 miles from Pretoria. It is reported that Kruger can no iouger hold the burghers in his ar- ty and that he will not be able to muster 15,000 men for the defence of Pretoria: as experts say the de- feces at Pretoria require an army of 20,000 to Inan them, it begins to look as though old *‘Oom Paul” will have to giveup his cherished “last stand und goto St. Uelena with- out any fireworks, {t is said that the Boer foreign officials have al- ready been cabled to know if there is no hope of foreign intervention, eod that the preliminary advances bave been made towards sueing for peace.

The Brit- ish have already annexed the Orange Free State. which will be hereafter kKuewn as Orange River State, the time is not iong tili the Transvaal too will be part of England’s world empire. The Boers have made a crave fight and have won the admir- ation of the world and, no doubt, their conquerors wili treat them with magnanimity.

Rats are bringing moaey to Sua- loonkeeper Frank Becton, but where they find it is a mystery. Becton owns a barn adjacent to the rich estate of the late Dr. W, Pp. Reed, who, 1t is declared, buriea his money in a secret hiding place, and Becton has often commented on the fact that there were rat holes Not long since he found a partial- ly torn 310 bill in his barn. A few days later he picked up several pieces of bills, of larger denomina- tion. A month ago, whilein the barn he saw a rat with a bill in his mouth scurry across the floor. Bec- ton made a wild throw at the rodent and then pulling upa board near the rat hole found a nest made of frag- ments of greenbacks. i: Since then he has concealed him self and seen rats hu somewhere with frag ury notes.

Rufty Assigns. Mr. D.C. Rufty, who has been in the grocery business here siace last fall, occupying the Lowenstein store house on -Broad street, made an assignment Tuesday, executing a deed of trust to Mr. C. S. Tomtin. The assets consist of the stock of goods which is estimated to be worth about $1,200 and a few small accounts. The liabilities are be- tween $800 and $1,000. Mr. Tomlin began taking an inventory of the stock yesterday, so as to complete it within the ten days allowed by law. The cause of the assignment was the very light trade this spring. Mr. Rufty is an old citizen of our town and one who bears a deserved- ly high reputation and all-his towns- folk sympathise with him iu his hard luck and hope that his affairs may soon be straightened up so as to en- uble him to begin business ayain. ed otf for the Reunton.

Tuesday afternoon about 5.30 the house on Mulberry street occupied by Mrs. Jennie Deal was discovered to be on fire. Thealarm was given and a crowd quickly gathered. All the reel companies reached the fire, number one being firstand number two, second, both doing good work. Though when first discovered the roof and all the rear of the buiding was in flames yet nearly everything in the house was removed and the flames extinguished before the roof was entirely burned. This was quick work under the circum stances, for the fire had made much headway and the large crowd hin- dered the firemen and those helping them. The building was owned by Mr. R. W. Orr. The loss on this is about $400, which is covered by insurance. Most of Mrs. Deal’s household ef- fects were saved, but are consider- ably damaged, noinsurance. Messrs. Hugh Steele, George Dodson and Lem Patterson, who were boarding there, lost most ot their clothing and other effects, Mr. Steele losing everything in his room, including twelve dollars in greenbacks. Everything was taken out of the lower room occupied by Mr. and Mrs. A. 8. Nuttall. The loss falls heavily or Mrs. Deal, who had just opened a boarding house ard had furhished it throughout with new furniture. She has the sympathy of all her friends. The origin ofthe fire is not known, as the room where it originated was unused; but it is supposed that rats yot hold of matches. =_- Saturday Night Speakings The following speakers will ad- dress the people at the following places on Saturday night, June 9th, at 8:30 o'clock: Dr S W.

TEDL endl tien ciple eat Missionaries Killed in China.—Boxers on the War Path.— situation Alarming. , Washington Dispatch, 20th. | Such advices as have reached here j indicate that the situation in jhas assumed avery critical phase. resources of the Chinese govern- ment. The State Department has been in close communication Mr. Conger, our minister at Pekin, | ' ao . . jand the Navy Department is doing | |its share, having placed the flagship | China) With | j | Newark as far up the river as the! |Taku forts, which is the nearest! |pointto Pekin that the ship can reach. Thc operation Box ers” are increastuy in 1 situde Their demonstrations are no longer local, ané they appear to be govern- settled design. They hi ed nine Methodist missionaries inp and have ciosedin on Pekin. Mean- while, th -‘ binese army is suspected of distos ed by wi '-sale desertions soldiers 1» ibe **Boxers.”’ Minister Conger has appealed to the State Department for the pro- tection of a marine guard for his le- gation. Tie Department has prompt- ly cabled him an authorization to call upon the nearest United States naval vessels for assistance. It is not known yet whether he has avail- ed himself of the permission. The embarrassing feature of the situa- tion is the cutting of the communi- cation by rail between Taku and Tien Tsin. and the capital, for the Boxers bave burned the railroad bridges, aud there are probably only two courses open io the marines who wish to reach Pekin—a long overland march through a hostile country away from supports, or a tedious vovage up the swift and shallow Pei Hoin shore boats in tow of steain launches. According to report, the Chinese government has done everything in its power to meet the demands of tne diplomatic body at Pekin for the dispersion of the Boxers, but it of the appears that the uprising is far more serious than was at first ap prehended. and even the resident ministers at Pekin are inclined to admit that the task is not an easy one for the Chinese government. So far all of the measures taken by the State Department look to the simple protection of the American legation at Pekin, the consulates in the vi- cinity and the lives of such Ameri: cans as may be obliged to take retf- uge therein, in the event of general rioting. The State Department is closely adhering to the practice it has always observed of non-interfer- ence in these Chinese disturbances, and itis not contemplated that our naval forces shalltake any part in the contest between the Chinese government and the Boxers, though itis assumed that Rear Admiral femey. the commander-in-chief of the Asiatic sation, will take steps to supply Rear Admiral Kempff, the senior squadron commander, with such naval forceas be may need for safe-guarding American interests at the treaty ports. THE CHINESE SITUATION China seems on the ragged edge of a ruinous civil war The Boxers, the Chinese secret 231i foreign so ciety has stirred u >» i rebellion. The foreign envoys at Uekin fearing a massacre within the capital have brought up the guards of the lega- tions. The rebel force massed near Pekin is rapidly growing; they have already cleaned up a force of imper- ial troops sent to disperse them, All the Manchu army, the Empress Dowager and Prince Ching are in sympathy with the anti-foreign eru- sade. The foreign missionaries and their converts are in extreme peril, a number of Belgians are beseiged at Chang-Tsin Tien by the rebels. An armed rescue party composed of Frenchmen, Germans and 100 ma- rines from the U. S. cruiser Newark have goneto their relief. It is stat- ed that the Russians are about to land 20,000 troops at Taku. These troops are now at Port Arthur in readiness. The Russian minister has telegraphed for all available gunboats to be sent to Taku. —— The bubonic plague is officially announced to exist in SanF rancisco.
