ITS A DEATH STRUGGLE
Attempt to Disfranchise 100000
Negroes in North Carolina.
QUESTION OF SUPREMACY
The Most Eventful Campaign in the His
tory of the State-The Anglo-Saxon
Is Determined to oGovern-Fight
for Home and Decency.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 1.-The Journal
publishes sensational story from it's
special correspondent, who has recent
iy been in North Carolina, on the cam
paign commenced there by the white
people, both democrats and republicans,
to disfranchise 100000 negro voters in
that state. The Journal will say:
North Carolina has just entered upon
one of the most eventful campaigns in
her history. 1t is death struggle be-
tween the Anglo-Saxon and the African
| and when the smoke of battle will have
cleared the, political and social suprem-
| acy of the white man of North Caro-
lima for all time will either be absolute
and unconditional or else negro domi-
nation Will again immerSe the state
into ignominy and disgrace. The cam
paign is waged on a proposed suffrage
amendment to the constitution sub
mitted to the people by the last legis-
lature. 1t was designed for the single
purpose of eliminating the negro as a
political factor and it is a notable fact
that the educational qualification en-
Joined on the negro Is not expected of
the white man. 1t is not intended that
an Anglo-Saxon shall be disqualified.
Every person of eligible age who ap-
plies for registration, for instance, must
be able to read and write any section of
the federal constitution. Under this
clause 100000 incompetent 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. Sec
ton ) provides that any lineal descend
ant of any voter in this country prior to
1867 shall be entitled to vote whether he
can read or write.
1T Is more than political fight--it is
fight in defense of home and decency
1t is constitutional decree that the
Anglo-Saxon shall govern in this state.
On this platform the democracy stands.
The negro republicans have challenged
this amendment for party protection.
The issue has been Joined For 80 years
it has been lodged and evaded 1t is to
the point now. 1t is the crucial test
between Southern republicanism and
Southern democracy"

ticularly when he found that he was
making no impression on his opponent

Roget was unused to this treatment, as
hitherto he has had his own way and
been allowed to bully witnesses.
Finally, on Roget declaring that

holds of the bands which have been de-
stroying plantations and levying tribute

Tuesday by the 9Th infantry under
Lieutenant Colonel Byrne. The only
means of reaching the town was up a

down upon them. The native strength
was estimated at 400. Many of the
rebels We're wounded and captured and
II were killed.

priating months salary and levying
monthly thereafter an assessment from
all the native sailors shipped from this
port. 1t is represented that he held a
commission in the insurgent army and

But it is thought that his operations
We're merely private blackmail
The information resulting in the ar
rest of the shipping commissioner
reached the port captain and chief of
police through a sailor who is not in
sympathy with the insurrection.
The Official Gazette, published at Tar
lac, which has been received here, con-
tains an order by Aguinaldo assembling
the Spanish civil prisoners and sick SOL
ders at the ports of San Fernando,
Union and Dagupan for repatriation.
The order stipulates that vessels calling
