Two years of desperate conflicts

day on On the verge Of bankrupt

Of the insurgent patriots. In the
United States, better than any
where else, one could follow day
by day the varying fortune of this
titanic duel; the landing of the
two Maceo brothers, survivors Of
a family of heroes, both of whom
were to find, a few months apart
the most glorious Of deaths; the
advent in the campaign of Maxi
mo Gomez, the veteran of the ten
years insurrection; the death of
Marti, fallen in ambuscade before
seeing the triumph of his labor;
the revolt deepening, spreading
from the eastern to the western

and threatening Havana; the re-
cal. of Martinez Campos, power

with a human countenance~; and fl
nally, dissolution greater eacl. day

of things at present. The entire

to make it. Let us turn over a new leaf
in starting new century, and take this
step forward that will rebound so much |
to the credit of our State and promote so
surely the happiness and prosperity of
or people.
We believe Capt. Ashes plan to be an
admirable one and commend It heartily.
It's excellence lies il its providing an in
centive, stimulus, to learn. 1t will be
shame to young man who has reached
the age of p not to b.: able to go to the
polls and cast his vote simply because he
cannot read lis ballot We have already
alluded to the fact that under the new
law any township rlay receive $500 from
the State appropriation for schools, pro-
vided it raise a similar amount This
| IS All excellent law, and VIII doubtless
| be taken advantage OF by many of the
more progressive communities of the
State, but the backwoods, the more IL
| literate, townships will rot avail them
! selves of 1t because the incentive is lack
ing there. But were it the law Of the
State that no .1lau could vote unless he
could read and write, we do not hesitate
to say that tbs $4,000 appropriation to
stimulate local taxation for schools
would be exhausted long before all the
townships could be served, and there
would be such general desire for
schools that I,nbIic sentiment would ne
cessitate very material increase in this
appropriation.
AS people, North Carolinians are less
ambitious than the people Of the other
States to the north and south of her.
Yet we are none the less a capable peo-
pie when once urged OH to the perform
ance. of duty. Such constitutional
amendment as the one Capt. Aslle pro
poses would wake US up, and start us
forward i'll a path that would lead to
greater achievement as a Common
wealth, ard to a higher standing i'll the
family of the States.
| Besides proving an incentive toward
education, such a law would cnncble
the DitiOt. ne man who can read his
ballot with perfect ease is the man who
will cast it intelligently. That is the
rule.
| There are many who advocate CON-
pulsory education. Such a system,
however, always a:ouses antagonis1n be-
cause it is believed to be too underlo-
cratic. Especially is this true i'll this
State. We therefore believe that with
ability to read and write as a requisite
for voting, such an educational ircen-
tive would be provided as would satisfy
those who have favored compulsory ed
ucation.
Capt. Ashes plan is Of too great i,n-
portance not to have trial.
