1t seems they have poll tax law in
New York State similar to that enacted
by the last Nevada Legislature. The
New York World of recent date says
Justice Chester Of the supreme Court
has decided that the law providing for
the payment Of poll tax as qualifica-
lion for the exercise of the right to vote
is unconstitutional. David B. Hill was
the attorney for those who contested
the law. Senator Hill urged that it
was contrary to the Constitution to
prevent, in any way. a qualified voter
from exercising the right OF franchise.
Justice Chester decided that the pay
mont Of poll tax imposed an addition
al provision to those of the Constitution
upon the voters right of franchise, and
that any such condition was unconsti-
tutional. This ruling may be taken as
a precedent upon which our own SUI
preme Court will act in due time.

SKATER UNJUSTLY CRITICISED.

Gen. Joe Wheeler thinks the criti-
cisms upon Gen. Skaters conduct of
the Santiago campaign CRITICISMS
made by certain owl-wise newspaper
correspondents only are very UNI
just. In writing about him to a
friend Gen. Wheeler says: He has
had hard task, and has performed
it successfully and well. He is a
man of more than ordinary brain
power and administrative ability.
The criticism that he did not place
himself on the firing line on July LIST
is ridiculed. He was Carrying on two
fights at the same time-Onc at Caney
and one at San Juan. He had to
place himself where he could see
both fights and manage the whole
affair, which he did efficiently"
In conversation with a member of
the 61st New York regiment who was
wounded in the terrific fighting in
front of Santiago, as he passed through
Henderson recently, he said to Us
that Gen. Shafter was all right but
he did not have the troops Gas many
he ought to have had at Santiago.
But with the resources at his COM
mand, surrounded As he was by dis
advantages of which the world will
never know. he thinks Gen. Shafter
displayed as fine generalship and ac-
compliShed a> splendid results with
a> little loss on our side As any one
could have done under the same cir
cumStanceS.
That is the testimony of man
who fought in the trenches under
Gen. Shafter, and we would sooner
believe such as he and Gen. Joe
Wheeler than all the carping critics
who write for pay at so much per
column without regard to the truth
or Justice of what they write.

hope of ever being cured. had suffered
from consumption for nearly eight years
l finally broke down completely and came
here as a last chance. Instead of imprOv-
ing, was too far gone and got worse in
stead of better. After four months OF that
experience | was induced to try remedy
which was discovered by DIR. Young OF
this city. 1t is a liquid gas-that is a gas
contained in water. You drink it. Once
in the stomach, the gas is released and
enters the circulation. Then it is taken to
the lungs and does its work, killing the
germs aud healing the lungs. l at once
began to improve on it and have since
gradually gotten stronger although could
hardly walk when l began. Now after
five months of treatment l am holding
down job as bOok-keeper and work nine
hours every day, never miss a meal or a
wink of sleep, am practically free from
any cough and am sure that | owe my life

HOW ABOUT NEGRO DOMINATION?

When one county shows up 20
negro magistrates in one meeting
out of a total of 80. it comes pretty
near making the thing unanimous
don't it? And that is what the ne
groe> say they are going to do when
they get things their own way little
better-till all the offices or such as
they may choose with men of their
own race. But what we started out
to do was call attention to the fol-
lowing item from State exchange:
Craven is 4 large county and its
farmers are much above the average
intelligence and capacity to govern.
They are particularly suited to die
tate the best methods OF working the
public roads and to manage the bust
ness affairs OF their portion of the
county. Under the rule af the white
man : party. the white farmers were
entrusted with these duties and they
were well performed.
How is it in Craven county now?
The white farmers are under the heel
of the negro. \ meeting of the mag
iStrateS was held at Newbern on
recent Saturday to transact business
relating to the public roads. Out of
50 present 20 were negroes.

COL. VIM. II. S. BURGWYN.
Brief Sketch of the Gallant Car OIinian
Who is in Command at St. Simon S
Island.

The Atlanta Constellation of Sunday
contains brief sketch of Col. Bur
gwyn, accompanied by picture of
him on horseback. From it we take
the following extract:
At Camp John B. Gordon. St. ST.
mons Island, the soldier boys from
Texas and North Carolina find health
happiness and comfort. Under Col.
Burgwyn the duties of a soldier are
strictly enforced, but for the few
hours that each man has off there
are many attentions shown them that
cause hearty good feeling between
the troops and those who mingle
with them.
Personally Col. Burgwyn is we'll
known in the States of Georgia, Flor
ida, Mississippi and Louisiana, while
in his home State, North Carolina,
there is no one more highly thought
Of He was United States Bank Ex-
aminer for several years and travelled
the States above mentioned for that
period. During that time he spent
many weeks in Atlanta, Rome and
other Georgia cities, making friends
of all who met him and enjoying the
comradeship of Georgians. During
the war he was in Clingman's brig
ade and served during the four years
fighting for the Confederacy. During
this struggle he had one brother, Col.
Harry King Burgwyn, who distin-
guished himself with the Twenty
sixth North Carolina. of Pettigrew' s
brigade at the memorable battle of
Gettysburg. His command went into
this battle with 800 men and lost 72C
before it was ended. After course
at Harvard Col. Burgwyn began the
| practice of law in Baltimore and re-
manned there for thirteen years. He
later opened bank in Henderson, N.
c. Possibly no man could have been
sent to this section who could have
given more satisfaction than the
present commander of Camp John B.
Gordon.

TIE saddest thought in connection

fact that the war has ended and that
