A BRILLIANT MARRIAGE.
The Pastor of Wake Forest Baptist
Church Weds Kentucky Belle.

The Tri- Weekly Kentucky Advocate,
published at Danville, KY, gives an
elaborate account of a marriage that
will have an interest for many North
Carolina readers:
''Rev. ]. w. Lynch, of Wake Forest,
North Carolina, and Miss Rebecca Al
dine Pope, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
George X. Pope, of Boyle county, were
married last night at nine o'clock, at
the Baptist church, by DR.. w. III. Whit
slit, of Louisville, a personal friend of
the groom.
The popularity of Mr.. Lynch and
his bride was in some measure attested
by the great number of persons who
came to witness their wedding. 1t was
impossible to accommodate them and
many failed to gain admittance.
1T was a simple but extremely pretty
ceremony, the decorations being in pink
and white. The bride, famous as one of
Boyle county's most beautiful young
ladies, looked prettier than ever.
Immediately after the ceremony Mr..
and Mrs. Lynch and their attendants
went to the home of the bride, where
an elegant supper was served. They
took the night train for White Sulphur
Springs. West Virginia. After remain
ing there two or three weeks they will
go to other points in the East, returning
this fall TO Wake Forest to remain for
the present.
'.To say that the good wishes of the
people of this community follow this
marriage would but feebly express the
sentiments of those who know and love
both Mr. Lynch and his bonny bride.
During his pastorate here, by his intel
ligent and Jealous devotion TO his church,
his gentlemanly bearing toward those
with whom he came in contact, his
warm-hearted, generous nature, he won
the esteem Of all, irrespective of denom-
ination. and it was with sincere regret
that his friends saw him voluntarily re-
tire from his work here. That he will
soon attain that eminence in his church
which his talents deserve Is \ matter
of common expectation. OF the young
woman whom Mr.. Lynch has won, much
might be said without suggestion of
hattery. Lovable and kindly by nature,
beautiful of person and educated in The
genter arts, she is generally and justly
admired.

can neither read nor write.
TO INCREASE SCHOOL FACILI-
TIES.
If the people shall say, by ratifying
this proposed amendment, that the young
men who become twenty-one years old
after January 1st, 1908, must be able
to read and write in order TO vote, then
it win be the duty of the people to so inn
prove and extend the common schools as
to bring them within the reach of every
boy in the State These schools belong
to the people, and | am sure they will
make them sufficient to fit their boys to
become qualified voters. So | assert
that one of the effects of this amend
ment upon the white people will be to
give them better schools, and to the State
a more intelligent population.
GOOD GOVERNMENT.
Another effect upon the white popu-
lation will be to secure to them good
government in State, country, city and
town, administered and controlled by in
telligent white men. Neither the negro
nor has corrupt white allies
can again dominate our local govern
ments and re-enact the scenes of strife
and riot and ruin of 1868 and 1869.
Good government is an absolute essential
to the peace and prosperity of a State.
his is tco plain to need argument. We
have seen it in in our own State. To es-
tablish and maintain it in Cuba. in Porto
Rico and Philippine Islands the Presi-
dent alla Congress have called up on the
American people to pay taxes to carry
on wars and to mourn over their sons
slain in battle. The negro has demon
strated the fact that he cannot covers.
1t is likewise true that the white man
who is dependent upon the negro for his
place and who is dominated and controll-
ed by him is equally unfit to govern. The
adoption of this amendment eliminates
that class of white men as we'll as the
negro from prominence in political mat
ters in the State and insures to the in
tellgent, worthy white men the manage
ment of public affairs. Page after page

thought but / must abandon this inviting

yers in the United States 1t was passed
by the legislature composed of many
OF the ablest lawyers of this State. The
American system Of government leaves
the questions Of suffrage very largely with
the State, and the Supreme court of the
United States has recently affirmed and
upheld this doctrine in passing upon the
new constitution of Mississippi, which
contained provisions restricting and reg
ulating suffrage. SO notwithstanding the
condemnation of the amendment by few
Republican lights, who have been drag
ged from obscurity by the negro vote, /
shall assume the amendment to be consti-
tutional and that it is within the pro-
vince OF the people of North Carolina to
ratify it and make it part OF their con-
stitution if they see proper to do so.
THE PEOPLE TO DETERMINE.
The Legislature has performed its part
i'm preparing and passing the proposed
amendment TO be voted on. 1t now re-
mains for the people to say whether it
shall be ratified or not. If a majority
of the votes cast shall be against it that
ends it. If a majority shall be for II
then it will become a part of our consti-
tuition. So the whole question and re-
sponsibility is now with the people. 1t
is for them to say what shall be done
with it. And in making up their minds
and arriving at their conclusions they
have ample time to consider this great
question in all its bearings upon the 'fu-
ture policies and interests Of their State.
