One reason why the Yankee cousins" will
not heed the Injunction to frame new condi-
tons for the amateur championship OF Great
Britain. as they are requested to do In the fol-
lowing quotation from the Scotsman OF July
IS. is that they are well content with the quail
reason to borrow trouble abroad. The Scots
man seems at last to take American golf seri-
ously. The quotation follows:
The United States Golf Association seems deter
mined to clip the wings Of the amateur. Hitherto
their limitations on his flight have been more
that they had to be altered But recently the
cation hiss been At again and 1t 10 laid down
that professional is not only one who has receive
money for play At golf but II he has done this in
professional Quod at dtsurdun,. II is also enacted
that no person shall be eligible to compete
for the amateur champion ship who plays the
game. or who frequents golf courses, for the
is new rule which prohibits any one from the
amateur ham unship com petition who hereafter
shall enter any Rolhng competition under all
sumed name" This last seems quite right and the
restriction in America. Why any one should enter
under an assumed name one cannot understand
unless II be that he wishes to erade some Of these
rules. or perhaps has such big handicap at homo
dence. Gould not our Yankee cousins turn their at
tenton 10 this matter and show IFS how the amateur
championship list could be kept within bounds

Republicans there, and there are no ne
groes in that part Of the county, and |
know every voter in that part of Pam

With Better Understanding the Cur
rent Sets Strongly for the Amendment.

With a Better Understanding the Cur
rent Sets Strongly for the Amendment.
To the Editor: The white people of
Henderson county have given the provi-
sions of the proposed amendment TO the
constitution careful and thoughtful study
since the adjournment of the Legisla-
ture last winter. At first everybody
seemed to view the matter with some de-
gree OF suspicion and fears We're enter
tanned for the ultimate success of the
movement Republican leaders have
been very busy in endeavors to deceive
illiterate white voters into believing they
would be DISTINGUISHED along with the
negro. But their efforts have proven
futile. The clouds are rapidly passing
away as one by one the doubtful element
realize the justice and gravity of the
situation. 1ne unirN )rmed are seeking
information and will do their own think
ing instead of accepting the advice of
pontical ringsters.
The Democratic party here is in eX-
cellent condition. There are no local diff
ferences and no dissensions within its
ranks. The result of the municipal cleo
ton in Hendersonyille last spring may be
cileu us eNlueIce III lIlS ldCt. AAHOtHtI
healthy indication is noticeable in the
expressed determination of Republicans
to act independently. The party lash
proved Ineffective to many seH-respecting
members Of that party last fall and a
large proportion of them still refuse to
affiliate with the bosses. The Demo
Gratis are very hopeful and it is believed
that Henderson county will appear upon
the Democratic map in 1900. The Re-
publicans have been largely in the ma
jority since the close of the Civil War
in 1865 until last year, when the diff
ference was reduced to n narrow margin.
There are few Populsts in the county,
or the Nintn Congressional District. But
the few to be found are white men and
will stand by the white people in this
great struggle for better government and
purer politics. 1T may be said with alb
solute certainty that Democrats viii con,
test their rights to the bitter end, and
not single available foot of territory
will be surrendered to the enemy.
With kind wishes for the continued
success of the News and Observer and
the great Democratic party in the State,
/ am, Yours truly.

and Others are Favorable.

Democrats in the Main Will Support it
and Others are Favorable.
To the Editor: In reply to your favor
of the 9th, inst, will say first: lhat
the white voters of EIdye county are
thoughtful and conservative body OF clti-
Zens who do not make up thelr HlioS
hastily about any matter, ana they are
especially thoughtful and lnqulstlVe Win
regard to the proposed Amendment.
Some of the voters who are unable 10
read and write say they are going to IN
yestigate the matter thoroughly and III
event there is no danger in the Grand
father Clause" for the illiterate white
voter they will give it a hearty support.
One man told me he was Wiling TO
spend $500 to get an unbiased legal
oninion and that he would feel that he
had prolitably expended his money If he
could be satisfied Another old man,
who is unable to read and write, told me
no should support the Amendment any
how regardless of consequences to NM
self. and if DISTINGUISHED by it would
feel that he had helped to put the fran
chlse in the hands of the intelligent, and
would have consolation enough from
that fact to offset any individual loss.
Second. The Democrats will in the
main support the Amendment, and II
every Democratic voter can have his
fears set at rest about the GRANDFATHER
Clause" will support the measure with
enthusiasm.
Third The few Populists who cling to
the organization will follow the direc-
tions of their State leaders. They have
dwindled in this county TO the Office
seekers and their immediate relatives
and close friends, and if fusion is again
made with the Republicans will vote
against the Amendment as matter OF
policy. Those OF them who voted the
Democratic ticket last fall will vote for
the Amendment.
Fourth. Some Of the Republicans will
support the Amendment and this will
be largely the case except with the lead
ers who hope to ride into office through
the aid OF the negro vote and the help
of the independent white vote. The
proportion Of voters who remain away or
refrain from voting on the Amendment
VIII be larger than usual | think.

HARNETT.
Attitude of the People all that Can be
Desired and Presages Victory.


Desired and Presages Victory.
To the Editor: The present attitude
Of the people OF Harnett toward the con
stitutionaI amendment is everything
that could be desired and promises de-
cisiye victory for permanent Anglo
Saxon supremacy in 1900. NOT man
who enlisted under the flag of good
government in our late campaign ana
helped to give the county OF Harnett an
honored place among the victors of that
glorious struggle has, so far as L can
learn, deserted his coiors.
The yeonanry Of this county is com
posed of men of deep convictions and
tenacious purpose, who, having entered
the campaign of 1893 with the deep
seated purpose of doing their full duty
in the redemption of their State from
negro domination, will ask for no fur
Tough or leave of absence until the vic
tory then attained is made permanent
by its ratification in 1900. The Democ-
racy of 1893 WILL to Il man, support
the amendment.
The Republicans of our bounty, for the
most part, can hear in the ratification
of the amendment, only the death kncll
of their party. and will, therefore, OPP
pose its adoption. A few in this party
however. looking beyond immediate de-
feat which they acknowledge must fol-
low, argue that the elimination of the
negro from politics will free their party
from that element which has made ii
most obnoxious to the South, and hence
for the purpose of purifying their party
tIay, Ill e,,,Vart Tho amau1n1nnt From
this source alone, however, we can ex-
pect but little opposition.
The populists are more kindly dispos-
ed. While large element of the ex-
tremists Of this party will cling to their
Republican allies to lend them aid and
comfort in their dying struggle, yet the
indications are that quite a respectable
number, placing the good of the State
above party prejudices, will come out
squarely for the amendment.
Quite number Of the leading popu-
lists Of our county have already freely
expressed their intentions Of giving il
their support.
Viewing the situation in our county
from every STANDPOINT it is most fayora.
BILE. Our last years enrolment will
stand intact, and / have yet to find q
single young man who has just reached
his majority who will enlist on the side
Of the opposition. A conservative esti.
mate | think win place our majority
for the amendment at 500 against a ma.
iorty of go for Democracy in 1898
and an equal adverse majority two years
before.

To the Editor: In answer to your
question as to what will be the fate of
the Constitutional Amendment in Hert-
ford, | feel confident that Hartford
county will redeem itself and give
majority for the amendment. The peo-
pie of this county are noted for their
conservatism, but they will be aroused
ON this great and vital question as they
have never been aroused since the days
of their forefathers. White men with
white mothers and through whose VEINS
flow the blood of Anglo-SaXon sires, Will
present solid Macedonian phalanx in
the great battle between intelligence and
honesty against Ignorance and vice, and
will fling to the breeze the triumphant
flag of White Supremacy. Mark the
