like to see Judge Brantly elected 10

tion last week was that there was a
sinister purpose in the Withholding of
certain of the returns.
This week. the Inter Mountain started
out to figure up Judge Brantly's vote.

which viii not be unduly delayed:
But the Inter Mountain. as we have
said. concluded to start the week by
running a judiciary election on its own
hook. II says IL has returns from
twenty counties. These Il tabulates in
columns showing respectively the vote
of these counties for Pember.on and

There is only one trouble with the
Inter Mountains conclusion-it makes
. mistake Of exactly four hundred in
cts addition OF Its own figures. Its col
umn of the Pemberton vote in the
"twenty counties heard from" foots up

man makes 1t 2l.464. So that. on its
own returns and estimates, II the In
Ter Mountain corrects its mistake in
addition. 1t will ind that II elects Penn

The Negro Trou blcs.

THE whites and the blacks of the
two Carolinas are again at war.
In North Carolina the negro
problem is more serious than In any OF
the other southern states because the
blacks there are actually in the ma
jority and negro domination is always
q possibility. The southerners say the
root OF all the trouble is the negro's
right to vote-that the suffrage has
served to prevent his progress and de-
velopment especially in communities
where the blacks are a large factor of
the voting population. The whites are
bound to maintain their supremacy
come what may. they simply will not
tolerate negro mayors. aldermen and
county officers. Louisiana has recently
i~naugurated the experiment of dis
reimbursement through restriction of
the suffrage by educational and prop
erty qualifications so framed as to af-
feet few whites. The experiment has
not been on trial long enough to ascer-
tain definite results. but whatever II
accomplishes II is a better system of
dealing with the than North
Carolina's shotgun methods. 1t is ar
gued in favor Of the Louisiana plan
that the negro, having been deprived
of his right to vote. will strive to fit
himself for citizenship under the new
conditions. and Sin the stimulus thus
afforded him in the direction of thrift
and education he may ind the social
salvation which the suffrage has failed
to provide"

BY the way, this post-election talk In
kept up simply because the Miner
brought IL up. Several days after cleo
ton. last week, the Miner appeared In

expunge from the election law the one-

well; now admit that the Miner is
right when 1t insists that the successful
Silver Bow ticket was a one-cross

one-cross ticket for Campbell as for
the rest of that ticket; II was the only
ticket in the county on which Camp
bells name appeared. So that Campbell.
