EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATION.
Biblical Recorder.


We have found the advocacy OF an
educational qualification more popular
than we had reckoned. There seems to
be n" real opposition to it. OF course
such an editorial us we wrote gave an
opportunity to the demagog and the
blatlerskite which was quickly seized
npon: but intelligent people appear to
he agreed that IN educational qualifca-
tion is necessary. is reasonable. is just.
and is in accord with the spirit and the
theory of self-governnent. Now then.
for Il measure. Some say the Australian
ballot. which requires that each voter
he left alone to read the several tickets
and select that which he prefers. viii
serve the purpose. This Is likely so: ut
any rate the Australian ballot system is
conceded IL hr the hest ever devised.
and We should he very glad TO see it
adopted in North Carolina. For our
part we desire not only this system. hut
wamld gladly advocate q constitutional
amendment requiring every wonld-he
voter To read and interpret any article
p OF orr Constitution. The man does not
live who can argyle fnrccfully that he
who cannot read the Constitution ap-
preciatively is capable OF voting intel
ligently.

Morris Dry Goods Company's store was
slightly injured. 1t was with diff
