SUFFRAGE QUESTION.
Before the People of the Old
North State for Consideration
Who Want South Carolina law.

Shortly after the recent cleo
tion in North Carolina the ques
tion Of eliminating the negro as a
political factor in the Old North
State was fully discussed by the
State papers and many of the
papers throughout the country
expressed their views on the sub
ject. From the press of that State
it was apparent that steps would
be taken with this end in view.
Matters have assumed definite
shape and the disfranchlsement,
indirectly Of course, of the negro
is to be undertaken.
Parties from North Carolina
who have been in Columbia since
the first of the month expressed
it as their opinion that the situa-
tion was so imperative as to de-
mand immediate action. The past
campaign was fraught with so
much excitement and trouble
that the people had resolutely
determined on forestalling future
difficulty by indirectly depriving
the dusky sons of Ham the right
of suffrage.
From a communication re-
celved at the governors office to-
day it seems that the constitu-
tional provisions of this State
governing the suffrage question is
attracting some attention in North
Carolina and that it is to be con-
sidered. Mr.. Josephus Daniels,
editor of the News and Observer,
of Raleigh, and member of the
Democratic National committee.
has become Interested in the sit
uatlon and in order to have a
clear and Intelligent view of that
part Of the South Carolina consti.
tuition which pertains to suffrage.
has written Governor Ellerbs the
following letter:
AS the result Of the late cleo.
ton, there is considerable feeling
in the State in favor Of some con-
stitutional provision that will
eliminate the negro as IA political
factor: will you do me the great
kindness to send the provisions
Of the constitution of your State
regulating the suffrage, and write
me the methods employed to
eliminate the negro, without de-
priving the illitcrate white man
of his vote.
ANY advice that you can give
viii be appreciated
The information that Editor
Daniels desires will be furnished
by the governor.
