BLACK VOTERS
Who Cannot Read and Write to Be
Eliminated From North Carolina
Politics.

ATLANTA, Ga, September 2.-The
journal this afternoon publishes story
from its special correspondent, who
has recently been in North Carolina
on the campaign commenced there by
the white people, both Democrats and
Republicans, 10 disfranchise 100000
negro voters in that State.
The Journal says: North Carolina
has just entered upon one OF the most
eventful campaigns in her history. 1t
is a death struggle between the Anglo
Saxon and the african. This cam
paign is waged on the proposed suffrage
amendment to the constitution submit
ted to the people by the last Legisla-
ture 1t was designed for the single
&pose of eliminating the negro as a
E,y- fcal factor.
Every person Of eligible age who APP
plies for registration, for instance, must
be able to read and write any section
or sections of the Federal Constitution.
Under this clause 100000 incompe-
tent negro voters in North Carolina
will be forever barred from the polls.
But the ignorant white voters-and
there are perhaps thousands Of them
can enter through another gate.
Section 5 provides that any lineal de-
scendant Of any voter in this country
prior to 1867 shall be entitled TO vote
whether he can read and write or not.

other mothers meeting to protest
against the delay OF the war department
in sending the Cleveland volunteers
home from the Philippines was held
here this afternoon.
During the meeting Adjutant General
Corbin was roasted to brown finish.
1t was only through the tact Of Lehman
Ellis, secretary TO Congressman Burton.
OF this city. that the indignant mothers
did not adopt radical resolutions in
condemnation of Gen. Corbin.
The wrath of the mothers was caused
by an interview given by Corbin to a
Cleveland newspaper In that inter-
view Corbin was quoted as saying that
the protest of the mothers was useless
and that their cackling would avail
them naught.
While the women were in meeting
Secretary Ellis rushed into the room
and advocated that they move slowly,
as any public protest on their part
might prejudice the War Department
OrlI4alS ana might inquire the SoluiSI
boys whose discharges were granted on
June /, and who according TO letters
received here, are still performing ac>
tive duty in the Philippines.
The mothers finally decided to await
developments.
One of the leaders of the meeting
said in an informal address TO the other
mothers:
Gen. Corbin says that we are doing
a lot of cakling. l think before he gets
through with this matter he will be the
one that will cackle.
4 The mothers perfected permanent
Rganization by electing officers.

Gen. Roget here interposed that re-
