The present Gener al Assembly by
its new Penitentiary board, has sent
a committee of four men around to
the various farms to ascertain how
much additional stock ana tools and
how much fertilizers it will take to
run them this year. This committee
can only fiud out by asking the SUI
pervisor in charge. They take what
he says, can't do otherwise. This
being so, why do they 60 to all this

FRANCHISE ! HE WHITES.

Is 1T CONSTITUTION AL-WILL IT DIS
FRANCHISE The WHITES"
The Washington Post not only
thinks the amendment framed and
ratified by the General Assembly is
unconstitutional, but mean and Q re-
faction on the good sense and fair
ness of the legislators. The Atlanta
Journal is of the same opinion. But
you meet these little two-by-sour fell
lows and they know it is just and
constitutional. One says it is, be-
cause it treats negroes and poor
whites alike; and another says it is,
because it effects the negroes and
not the whites. With all this, how
can the voter, exercise the right to
vote on it intelligentlyi Smart
folks ought to get up plainer law
than that. At least, those getting it
up ought to be agreed as to its mean
ing. The Charlotte Observer is
afraid it will be hard to convince the
poor white man that it will not dis
franchise him. Yes, it was hard ia
convince the negroes last fall, that
if the Democrats got control, they
would be DISTINGUISHED. They know
it now.
But it is too late for them to ge
their eyes open. We do not say i
will be so, but fear it will be tina
way with the poor white men if tn
amendment gets into the constitu
ton. We agree with the Charlotte
Observer that the cool and bette
judgment of the people have no
been applied to it yet. 1t certainl.
DISTINGUISHES poor boys who will no
be able, because of having to com
pete with negro wages, to get an ed

seems that It'll "doing evil that goo
may come" But it is speciment o
Democratic political policy. The

POPULISTS AND THE AMENDMENT

POPULIsTs AND THE AMENDMENT.
We are asked every day whether
or not the Populist are in favor of
the constitutional amendment. As
a party, the Populist have not yet
gwen an expression. Like the Dem
ocrats and Republicans, there are
some differences of opinion on the
subject. So far as it effects Popu-
lists, personally, they are not. And
so far as it effects them as 3 party,
therefs no reason why they should
beI When the negro is no longer the
issue, then Populists can be heard
on the issues that effects the great
masses of the people. Then the
minds of the people will not be dark
ened and their prejudices aroused by
the cry of negro domination. Then
a sorry white man cannot stand be-
hind a good white mans back and
call him a negro. because he does
not look at political questions like
he does, or vote the ticket issued out
to him.
But Populists have doubts, as
thousands of other good men belong
ing to other parties have, as to
the business of the law and whether
it will be constitutional or not. They
have their doubts whether that alone
will settle the negro question. They
fear it will not. It has not done it in
Louisiana and other states where
they claim the negro question has
been settled. They have the same
troubles about which We complain,
rapes, theft etc. Populists do not
want to do an unjust thing if they
know it. Many of them believe that
the only way to solve the racial ques-
ton is to separate the races. They
think the negro does more harm in
controlling the wages of the white
wage earners than they do the poll
tics and desires of the Office seeker,
They cannot understand why it is q
greater crime for the negro to gel
between the politician and his pie,
the Office, than it is for the negro to
get between the white laborer and
the necessary wages 1t takes to sup.
port his family. They believe as you
degrade, and~humiliate the negro
you force him to live on less, and in
the same proportion you humiliatt
the poor white laborer who has to
compete with the colored laborer OF
get no work. So it is a knotty ques
ton, and when q man comes around
asking if Populists endorse the
amendment, ask him if he does, and
if those who enacted it have any con
fidenee or hope in it or not.

Below VIII be Found an Interesting His
tory of the Case, Written by
Mr.. Bailey Himself.
A sense of profound gratitude and
Joy prompts me to write this letter. I
had suffered for ten years with kidney
and bladder trouble. Last August I
was taken with terrible pain in my
kidneys which extended to the blad-
der. The urine that I passed, after
standing a while, became thick and
ropy, or muddy left quantities of sed-
iment in vessel, and gave me great
agony to avoid it. Upon advice of my
physician finally consented to 90 to
the Hospital at Raleigh. When l got
there the chief surgeon examined me,
and said it would be necessary to re.
move the stone from the bladder by
surgical operation. This he admitted
was dangerous, owing to my age and
feeble condition. decided if must die
l would go home and die with my
family. After l returned from the
Hospital in dependent and almost

symptoms and the chance of my recov-
cry, should 1 submit to an operation.
We decided to try your medicine, and
il no relief after a thorough trial to
risk the knife. After taking the sam-
pie bottle bought six large bottles of
your Swamp-ROOt and used according
to directions. And about Feb. 9Th, to
my great delight the stone seemed to

day, under Gods Providence through
your SWamp-Root treatment. my life
has been spared. Had 1 chosen the
knife treatment I fear 1 would have
been in the grave, or at the best, ling
ering in the Hospital. I regard your
Swamp Root As the most wonderful
medicine for bladder and kidney trou-
bles in the universe, and wish 1 could
tell all who suffer as did, the relief
and happiness it has brought me. l
expect to continue its use occasionally
to keep NY kidneys and bladder all
right, and shall tell all l see in the
condition was, how easy they can
find relief by using DR.. Kilmer's

orally held by negroes, respectable
enough to be filled by thousands of
