THE NEGRO VOTE

Now that an important election
is near at hand the different nation
alities are being caressed and ca
joled for the purpose Of swelling
the suffrages for the various candi-
dates. The races as we'll as nation
alities are basking in the same sun
shine Of fattery. The negro vote
is an important one in this State
and both the republicans and dem
ocrats are making a bid for it.
There is an inclination shown on
the part Of some OF our race to
desert the party to which they
have been SO long attached, and
this is privilege to which they
are entitled, but they should never
theless not be deaf to little COM
mon sense advice.
1tWAs the democratic party that
kept the iron heel of slavery upon
the necks of the colored man until
it was forced by the giant power Of
. iepnblicanism to release its victim,
and i the democratic party could
gain anything by it, either in a po-
litical or any other sense, the col
ored man would be driven back
again into slavery tomorrow.
They, the democrats, have time and
again attempted to prove that the
skull of the African or his descend
ant in America was not shaped for
advancement and that by nature
he Was intended for slave. They
believe ia the same theory to-day
and the reason they are not openly
procla'ming it is because in the
first place it is useless, and in the
next place they want his vote.
The republican party poured out
mhillions- of treasure. and sacrificed

But it is said the republican par

sufficiently and that it is suffering

ceived the recognition that was

But here is point the colored
man should keep before his eyes.
He should be independent Of the
helping hand. Except in cases Of
sudden or extreme necessity the
helping hand is too closely allied to
the charitable one to make it plea

man to accept. The Lord helps

Sunday afternoon. The Reverend
gentlemen preached an eloquent,
forcible and very appealing dis
course for over two hours and held
the vast audience at fever heat with
enthusiasm about the beauties and
pictures of the other world.
While at the same hour and same
time Rev. T. L. Smith, the mission

house at the Missionary Baptist

jury to their wife and children,
that they will send or hand in a
few shiny dollars invrder tomake

THE CORPORATION MIDDLE.

Verify the whiskey dealers are
in a middle. The town is without
a Board of Mayor and Aldermen,
the Governor has no power to ap-
point, and to elect would require
a registration, which must be had
four months prior to an election,
an election under the new Consti-
tuition would take nearly or quite
another month, and petitions for
license must lay over then thirty
days. There is six months lost.
In spite of these considerations, it
seems that they oppose a repeal
of the town charter.
Now there are other citizens
who have, and do now want the
charter repealed, and do away
with the municipal government
altogether. If this is insisted on
the fight is on this line, and it
seems the fight is on.
Now, there ought to be some Sc
rious thinking done on this sub.
ject. Ii a majority of the citizens
do not want To be incorporated,
now is their Time to act in concert,
and let our Legislators know what
is the will of the majority. But if
the majority want the town incor-
porated and the charter amended,
they ought TO attend to it now and
then proceed to look after the
matter Of getting officers. The
Legislature may pass a law which
will authorize the Governor to ap-
point. If they 10, and our char

THE HIGH LICENSE wHIsKEY Law.

The battle is ended so far as the
dram shop chapter of the Ammo.
tated Code is concerned. The
chapter has been discussed and re-
discussed and amended by both
Houses of the Legislature, but it
has passed both Houses and is
now in the hands &C the Governor
for approval.
The law, as passed, is substan-
TALLY as follows:
The conference committee rec
commended, and their report wa,
adopted, that the minimum license
be fixed at $500 for country and
villages 5000 for towns, and
$1,000 for cities, all of which goes
into the State Treasury. A vii
lage contains not more than 500
nor under 100 population; a town
not less thar 800 nor more than
1000; a city over 1000 souls
Towns and cities are given the
privilege of levying not less than
% per cent. on the State license
for municipal purposes, and may
levy as much more over the %
per cent. as they deem proper.
This latter was a concession to
the Senate, while that body con.
coded that the entire State license
should be converted into the State
Treasury. The House also reced-
ed from its amendment that bill
lizards should not be played IN the
premises in which the dram. shop
was conducted. So that the fes.
tive billiard and the saloon can
