RIGIDLY AND MOST PROPERLY
Chatham Record.

After an animated debate the House
has passed a bill making it a felony
for whites and blacks to be guilty of
fornication and adultery with persons
of the opposite race. This offense Is
now a misdemeanor, punishable with i'm
prisonment in Jail for a term not ex.
ceeding two years. This bill changes
it to felony, punishable with imprison-
ment in the penitentiary for term
of not exceeding FIVE years. This is
drawing the ''color line" rigdly and
most properly.

We suppose thoughtful white men
will realize the very great Importance
of passing under the extraordinary
circumstances the amendment to the
constitution TO which tie Messenger
called special attention in its two last
issues The matter cannot be pressed
with too much earnestness. There are
special reasons for urging in this mat

is opposition to dealing with the negro
question so as to eliminate the negro
practically as a factor in North Caro-

The attitude of the Legislature towart
this great question, overshadowing al
others, has been most gratifying. Their
have been differences of opinion as to
the best plan to perpetuate Good Gov
ernment and White Supremacy (they
are enc and inseparable); there hay,
been varying views as to this or tina
provision; there have been those VIII,

amendment. there have been those
who have feared the result of such an
amendment upon the party; and those
who thought a new election law, moieiaG
after the Walton law of Virginia nigh.
ences have been discussed in the spirit
of patriots, seeking to find the common
safe ground upon which all good mel
can stand. Some men, in spirit OF
self-abnegation that cannot be too highly
commended or too long remembered
have acquiesced in the views Of the
majority. The meetings to consider this
grave question have brought out the
spirit of devotion to white rule that
blazed so brightly in the last campaign

GIlEENyILLE IN THE HANDS OF
WHITE MEN.

During the last campaign, the piece
of Fusion legislation for which there
was no attempted defence was the
charter of the town of Greenville where
by white majority was put under the
rule of negro minority. This legisla-
ton was so contrary to every principle
of correct government that the staunch-
est Fusionist could offer no defense for
It. The people of the whole State will
be glad to know that the law has been
repealed by the passage of the bill in
troduced by Senator James, and the
town of Greenville is once more in tho
hands of white men.

legislation is wiped off the statute books

SCANT TOURIST TRAVEL
Honolulu Yet Awaits Advent Of First
Glass Article.
Visitors are Rare Who Spend Money Freely
- Reasons for SlaCkneSS in Past -
Prospects Not DisCOurasins,
TRAVEL

About forty passengers by the
steamship China put up at the Ha-
waiian hotel. In the case of many
of them Honolulu was their book
ed destination. There are no tour.
ist parties, and the people hail
from places scattered widely over
the mainland. Probably a large
proportion of the visitors are on
business errauds.
Manager 2. NJ. Lucas of the
Hawaiian says the real tourist ira
vel is much under the volume of a
year or two ago. Indeed, there is
next to none of firstclass tourist
visitation. Many steamer saloon
passengers will register at the
hotel, only to go right out and look
up cheap boarding houses. Again,
tourist party comes under the
auspices of an agency or syndicate.
One of it's mem bers while register
ing will ask for "the best room in
the house." He gets the best avail
able, and his bill is made up &C
cordingly. When it is presented to
him, however, he produces a cou-
pom of some tourist agency cover
ing ordinary hotel charges at Ho-
nolulu.
The tide of tourist travel to the
Hawaiian Islands, of the class that
scatters golden spray in its course,
is yet awaited. Only an infnitesi.
NAL proportion of the visitors for
two or three years past has been
OF freely spending class. The
bulk of travel makes but few Tex
tras" at the hotels, and its advan-
tages to local trade ere represent
ed in the purchase of necessaries
and cheap curios, souvenirs, etc.
There is no occasion, however,
to despair of i'm provement in the
tourist travel prospects. 1t is to be
remembered that until lately the
circumstances of the principal no.
tel were anomalous. There was no
hxity OF tenure to Justify its land
lords in improving its conditions.
Then there was a decade and
more of political unrest here which
tended to repsl the ordinary tou.
rist. Steamers were iufrequent in
their calls, inconvenient for stay
overs in their schedules. These
things have now gone into the past
With the islands under the Amer
lean flag, and their attractions, in
Guiding STEADILY improving facili.
ties of internal transit, all the time
becoming better known to the
world in general and the mother
country in particular, a stream of
tourist travel may soor be expect
ed to set in which will be one of
the most potential factors in the
prosperity of the group.

TERRITORIAL PROSPECTS.

As the consideration of the Ha-
waiiau Territory bill progresses the
pet schemes of the officials of the
Republic of Hawaii are slowly but
surely buried in the American
waste basket. The matter Of prin-
cipal interest to the BULLETIN is
the fact that the House com mittee
has wiped out the property quail
fications for voters, aud the conse-
quent prospect that American prin-
ciple of manhood suffrage will win.
The fact that the United States
has to consider laws for Porto Ri
CO and Philippines is compllcating
the situation. The general senti =
ment of Congress seems to be that
If Hawaii is to have full terrific
rial status, the laws provided must
be the same as those now in force
in the continental territories. II
Hawaii is to have particular favors
shown her, favors not granted con-
tinental territories, then she must
take her chances and be placed in
the same category as other insula,
possessions.
Whether the administration SO
desires or not it will be a very
easy matter to block Hawaiian leg
islstion in the Senate as a very
small number Of Senators hold the
balance of power. 1t is to be hoped,
however, that Congress will give
Hawaii the present American ter
ritorial dress, striking out the spe.
cial localisms proposed, and tina,
such status may be secured at the
present session of Congress.
