THE CRUCIAL TEST BETWEEN

bly Of the nineteenth century will ma
terially affect her welfare during the
twentieth century The Legislature will

economical, able and conscientious body
of men. 1t had greater task TO per-
form than amy of its predecessors. III
re-wrote the laws governing the States
institutions, the public schools, elections,
railroads and other corporations. It's
work is the platform of the Democratic
party Of 1900.
The distinguishing act Of the Iegis
lature. and by far the most important,
is the submission to the people of the
suffrage amendment to the constitution.
The amendment means the elimination
of the negro element from the politics OF
North Carolina II is a constitutional
decree that the Anglo-SaXon shall gov
ern this State On this platform the
Democracy stands.
The Republicans have challenged this
amendment as unwise and unjust. The
issue has been joined. For thirty years
it has been lodged, evaded and becloud-
ed. Now il is stripped Of all compllca-
ton, simple, clear-cut. 1t is the crucial
test between Southern Repubicanism
and Southern Democracy. Southern Re
publicanism now means that a hundred
thousand ilIiterate negroes, inspired by
no patriotic emotions, who have never
learned the price of the privilege they en-
joy, nor the cost Of the institutions un-
der which they live, are as much entitled
to a voice in the government of tnis
State as hundred thousand yeomen

FOR OWNERS OF LIVESTOCK.
VALUE OF SHOWING AT THE
STATE FAIR.
A Business Proposition Of Which
Breeders Should Avail
Themselves.

In an article under the heading "a
Word to Livestock Owners the
Breeder and Sportsman" makes these
sensible remarks:
THE California State Fair, to be held
at Sacramento September 4th to 18th
inclusive, will offer an opportunity to
the breeders of all kinds of live stock
that should not be overlooked The rise
in the price of all manufactured prod
ucts which has affected nearly every
thing the farmer has to buy, is rapidly
extending to every thing the farmer
has to SELL The prices of horses, cattle,
sheep and swine are advancing, and
there is demand for choicely bred and
good individuals of all kinds of stock
that can hardly be supplied.
There is a growing belief among
those who have watched the current of
recent events that farm property and
farm products all over the United
States are certain to increase in value
during the next ten years, and that the
cultivation of the soil and the breeding
of fine stock will be engaged in by a
greater proportion OF the people than at
present.
The application of science to the till,
age of the soil. the rearing of live stock
and the productions Of the dairy, as
carried on by agricultural colleges and
experiment stations throughout the
land, has demonstrated the fact that
the scientific farmer of the future will
be engaged in a profitable and therefore
a pleasant occupation, and as a result
there is bound to be halt in the pres
ent tendency of population to congest
in the cities.
The increase in the number of small
farms which has already begun will
make demand among the farmers for
well bred livestock, and breeders now
engaged in the business of rearing fine
stock are certain to reap a reward.
1.-THE California State Fair this year
will offer an opportunity for breeders
to show their stock to the public and
thereby pave the way to profitable
sales and an increased demand for the
best breeds that none of them can af-
ford to miss. 1t is a plain business
proposition outside of any sentiment
that there may be in the case.
THE cattle sheds and the sheep and
swine pens at Agricultural Park, Sacra-
mento should be filled. this year as
they never were before. The exhibit of
standard bred trotters. roadsters, and
heavy drafters should exceed anything
that a State Fair in California has
ever seen. 1t will pay.
''The outlook at present is that there
will be a larger attendance at the State
Fair this year than has ever been
known in the history of the associa-
ton. The exhibits of manufactures
agricultural and dairy products will be
especially large and interesting and
they will certainly attract the best peo-
pie of the State to visit them.
"These people will be the live stock
buyers this year. next year and the
year after. and they will keep in mind
the animals and products they see at
Sacramento this fall. Is their patron
age worth trying for? We believe it is -

THE DIFFERENCE.
How Other States Are Protecting
Their Game.
Western Sports.)


The State of Michigan is wide awake
to the interest of game protection and
is abreast of the times with a law,
which, if enforced should accomplish
the object for which the sportsmen OF
that State are working. We will quote
from the Michigan law and also the
new laws of both South Dakota and
Illinois, and ask our readers to make
a comparison between the stringent
methods in those States, and the meas
ures in vogue in California.
In Michigan the open season for
partridge, quail, spruce hen, snipe,
woodcock and plover extends only from
October 10Th to November Both, pc
riod of but forty days, excepting in
the upper peninsula, where the season
on partridge is from October 1st to
November Both. Prairie chickens are
pheasants are protected until the year
1905, and the killing of song or in
sectiverous birds or mourning doves is
unlawful at any time.
The sale of partridge, quail or
woodcock is prohibited absolutely.
The open season for deer hunting
is from November Sth to November
Both, inclusive, and all hunters must
be provided with license to hunt deer.
The resident fee is 75 cents, while that
for nonresident is $50. The use of
dogs is not allowed, and their presence
in camp or with hunting parties is
made prima facie evidence of guilt.
Moose and caribou are protected un-
til 1909; wild turkey until 1908.
The catching or shipping of trout
or grayling for sale is prohibited.
In South Dakota the new law, which
went into effect on July 1st, compels
every resident sportsman shooting
in the State to pay license of $40.
Game cannot be shipped out of the
State, but visiting sportsmen can take
out not to exceed twenty-five game
birds each. One of the most important
measures of the law is that section
which prohibits the shooting or killing
in any one day of more than twenty
five game birds.
The open season on wild fowl is of
four months length, but the use of
swivel gun, Artificial gun, artificial am.
buscade, sneak boat, sink boats, or
shooting from steam or electric
launches is prohibited. Non-residents
are compelled to pay a license Of $40,
which is good only in one county, and
entities the holder to take from the
State not more than twenty-five birds.
