is even doubtful if the II, ,ooo coo

Another reason for expecting
hat the price of cotton will hold
up, if it daes not advance, is the
Fact that preparations for b
next crop are very bae kw4rd aud
she prospect of a larg ) rsdu;. g
acreage is good.
The Picayune gives ;ht.se G .eoe
reasons for its hopes:
"With such an outlook for sup
ply, both present and prospective,
and with many evidences that the
manufactured goods trade is
ho1rishing, and American spin
ners are taking raw cotton freely,
it is not astonishing that the
market should successfully resist
all efforts to depress it, and
should quickly react from de-
clines caused by proft-taking
The only unsatisfactory factor in
the situation is the unwillingness
of Liverpool and Manchester to
admit that their earlier expecta-
tion of a 100000 bale crop
was wrong. These markets per-
sistently refuse to follow the up
ward course of American markets,
and as they are the great pur-
chasers of raw cotton, their indif-
ference is unquestionably Sc
lious obstacle. It is impossible,
however, that this apathy can
much longer stand the evidence of
diminishing receipts. Liverpool
has been told that the light re-
ceipts have been entirely the re-
suit of the bad weather. OF
course this explanation will not
hold much longer. When once for
eign spinners make up their minds
that they have greatly over-esti-
mated the crop, they are likely
to become eager buyers. A change
of sentiment on their part cannot
be much longer delayed; hence a
sensational advance in Liverpool
need surprise no one. Any evil
dence that Liverpool has aban-
doned the big crop idea will add
strength to the American markets;
at least that seems to be a fair
inference from the restraining eff
feet of Liyerpool's present con-
servatism." +"

Constitutional Amendment.
Raleigh News and Observer.

Raleigh News and Observer.
We published on yesterday the
sati text of the constitutional
amendment regulating suffrage
hich will be submitted to the
voters of North Carolina at the
uexs regular election. The COM
mittee is authorized to make any
necessary change in the verbs
age. but the bill as printed is sub
s,antially the one that will be
voted upon,
The purposes Of the amends
,eaent may be stated briefly to be-:
1. To allow all people to vote
who can read and write and who
pay the poll tax, where they are
subject to poll tax.
2. TO allow all white people to
vote who cannot read and write,
provided they register prior TO
1908.
Under tho amendment no white
man can be disfranchised. There
was not single member of the
Legislature who would vote for a
bill that denied suffrage to men
who have with their fathers al
ways enjoyed it. They have shown
their fitness. They will under the
amendment be more certain of the
right TO vote all their lives than
they possibly could be under any
election law that could be devised.
Not only is no voter denied the
right to vote, and give fuller pro-
lection in the exercise of the franz
chise, but their sons are guaran-
teed their suffrage without any re-
strietion provided they register by
1908, thus giving the guarantee
to every whito boy over thirteen
years of age. This will work no
hardship because in the nine years
that fellow from the submission
OF the amendment the white boys
Id the State will all learn to read
and write sufficiently to qualify
themselves to exercise the fran
ch;se. The submission of the
amendment will be the signal for
a revival OF education and we may
look for a spirit of interest thai
/ will go envslop the State that by
1908 every white boy in the State
has taken advantage of the epEor
tunities to read and write that vii
be afforded him.

Daily Argus, Monday 13th.
The severe cold wave which has
been in evidence for several days
past was augmented Saturday by
q first class snow storm. Snow
began to fall at noon and con-
tinued throughout the day and
night without interruption, and
when the morning dawned yester-
day the snow was still falling. as
was the case again this morning.
The temperature has been below
freezing throughout the time and
il is biting cold out of doors.
The present cold snap is the
worst in several years. Eight
degrees is the lowest temperature
recorded in the city.
81 There is much suffering among
the poor. Many persons who
were in distress were relieved
during Saturday. A number Of
citizens interested themselves in
cases of distress which came
within their knowledge. A
number of families are reported
without wood, and it is impossi-
BILE 10 buy wood. The wood deal
ers have orders ahead witho
number, which they cannot de-
liver for lack of teams. The rich
and the poor without wood will
both fare alike in this matter.
Money ,.-.anot secure it.
The streets are almost deserted
and business is. practically sus-
pended, vehicles of all kinds are
off the street. The few people to
be seen trudging through the
snow are hunting in vain for
wood.
The trains yesterday had a
hard time trying to get in and
out Of the city. and they were all
late. This morning the Smith.
field train, Capt. Jack Collier and
Engineer r. e. Jenkins, tried
| and tailed utterly to get out OF
