Richard Harding Davis Is an author
whose popularity as novelist is great,
and his Cuban and Porto Rican Cam
paigns' will in all probability be the most
| extensively read of any of the great num-
Der of narratives of the Cuban war which
are now appearing. For reading at this
time it is reasonably satisfactory. 1t is
brilliantly written, and so far as the inn
portant movements are concerned is I'M
doubtedly substantially correct But Mr..
Davis is novelist, not an historian He
sometimes sees things that do not occur,
and his observation is in general for the
picturesque, and somewhat superficial
Hence we do not look for this to be the
permanently accepted record of the Pc
riod of which it treats.

adds to the knowledge of the personality
of the great general But its value is
mainly of this nature, rather than in be-
ing contribution to history.

Throughout our country there is now
a decided interest in family genealogies,

immerse the state into ignominy and
disgrace. Tie campaign is waged on a
proposed suffrage amendment TO the
constitution submitted to the people by
the last Legislature. It was designated
for the single purpose Of eliminating
the negro as political factor and it is
a notable fact that the educational
qualification enjoined on the negro is not
expected OF the white man. 1t is not
intended that an Anglo. Saxon shall be
disqualified.
Every person of eligible age who
applies for registratios, for instance,

this clause 100000 incompetent negro
voters in North Carolina will be for
ever barred from the polls.

there are perhaps thousands Of them
can enter through another gate. Sec
ticn provides that any lineal descend
ant of any voter in this country prior
to 1867 shall be entitled to vote
whether he can read or write.
1T is more than political fght-it
is fight in defense Of home and de-
cency. II is constitutional decree
that the Anglo.Saxon shall govern in
this state. On this platform the demo-
cracy stapds The negro republicans
have challenged this amendment for
party protection. The issue has been
joined. For over thirty years it has
been lodged and evaded. 1t is to the
point now. It is the crucial test be-
