c1RllENr COMMENT.

The Springfield Republican says;
North Carolina IS just entering upon
her campaign Of nliterate negro disiran-
ohisement II will be an ugly struggle on
race lines. The suffrage amendment 70
the State constitution requires OF negroes
a reading and writing qualification LOT
voting and exempts illiterate whites by
providing that the lineal descendants or
mon who were voters in the United states
prior TO 1861 shall be entitled 10 vote
whether they can read or write. or not.
The discrimination agains; the blacks IS
paipable 10 the dullest mind. and its utter
injustice calls for general rcbuke. And
after the North Carolina whites have pass
cd their amendment to- put down black
ignorance and keep up white ignorance
what are they going 10 do about the loth
amendment TO The federal constitution
Whit they ought 20 do is TO try to get
the 18th amendment repealed. That Is the
solution of the negro problem.

a Tribute to Gen. Lee.

An incident of the celebration of
Lees birthday in Atlanta was the ap-
pearance on the block boards Of all the
schools Of the>late B. H. Hills famous
eulogy Of the great Confederate chief
tain. The object in placing the eulogy
on the black kboards was that the chill
drcn might memorize it. 1t is as fol-
lows: ''He was foe without hate, q
friend without treachery. soldier with
out cruelty, victor without oppression,
and victim without murmurlng. lie
was public officer without vices; a
private citizen without wrong: neigh
Dor without reproach; Christian with
out hypocrisy. anda man without guile.
He was Cesar without his ambition:
Frederick without his tyranny: Napo-
leon without his se!ishnesss, andWash-
incton without his reward. lie was
obelicnt to authority as a servant, and
royal in authority as true king. lie
was gentle as woman in life. and mod
est and pure as virgin in thought;
wa.chful as Roman vestal in duty;
Submissive to law as Socrates and
grand in battle as Achilles. Every
school BOY and girl in this county

The Isla de Cuba Saved.

The Isla de Cuba, one Of the Spanish
cruisers sunk by Dewey, has been
raised and sent to Hong Kong for re-
pairs. 1t is remarkable that in spite
of the fact that her engines were under
water for seven months they we're found
in excellent order and needed only a
little cleaning before the cruiser struck
out for a 700-mile voyage alone. The lsla
de Cuba, sister ship to the Cuba, and the
cruiser Don Juan de Austria, also have
been successfully raised and will soon
follow the Cuba to Hong Kong for re
pairs. These three ships were the
most modern Of the Spanish vessels in
the East, and although not nearly so big
as the Castillo or Reina Cristlna, they
are more valuable. 1t will cost about
5000, 900 to put the three ships IN per
feet shape, but when this.is done they
will be worth over 81 600, 600.

Jealous of the Soldiers.

The young men who reside in East
Athens, Ca, have declared war against
the United States soldiers stationed
there. The soldiers have been notified
to keep out Of East Athens or else take
the consequences of bombardment by
the Young men who hurl rocks and fire
pistols at the soldiers as penalty for
crossing the desd-line established. 1t
seems that the young men object to
the soldiers paying attention to the
young ladies of East Athens, and they
have been warned to remain away.
Some Of the soldiers have found sweet
hearts among the young women, and
this has caused bad feeling between
East Athens youths and the soldiers.
Several soldiers who have ventured to
cross the trocha have been fired upon,
and some Of them were struck with
rvcks hurried from alleys and yards.

A letter from Morganton, the county
seat of Butler county, in the western
part of Kentu,ky, Is miles from any
railroad, says an epidemic vf spotted
fever, or spinal meningitis is raging
there. old and young dying rapidly. 1t
is impossible to estimate how many
have died, and there is no one to report
the true condition. it is known that
there are no longer any cofhns in the
place tv bury the dead. The people
are panic stricken and fleeing in all
directions. 1t is reported that there
are now ouly few left to nurse those
who are stricken and are helpless. The
female seminary and the public school
are closed. The physicians have been
doing heroic work but seem powerless
to check the disease. Morganton is a
pla>e Of 100 Inhabitants, situated on
hill, and has been consideredevery
healthy. Several large saw mills are
located there, and the theory advanced
is that the decaying sawdust started the
endemic.

A COLD SNAP.
Almost the Entire Country Frozen
Hard Last Week,

The weather bureau issued the fol-
lowing special bulletin today. Morning
adviccs show that freezing temperature
occurred in Florida last night as far
south as line traced from little south
of Tampa to the Atlantic coast just
north of Jupiter, Tampa showing a
minimum temperature Of 80 degrees
and Jupiter minimum OF 80 degrees.
At Jacksonville minimum of IS de-
grees was reached.
These temperatures were very accur
ately forcasted Wednesday morning,
when the weather bureau at Washing
tor telegraphed the following forecast
and warning, which was distributed by
its Florida stations to all fruit growing,
agricultural and transportation interests
that could be reached by telegraph,
telephone and mail during Wednesday:
Temperature will fall to about %

far south as Tampa Temperature will
continue low Thursday and Thursday
night and will moderate Friday.
The temperature continues abnormal
" lowin al districts east Of the Rocky

geso,a and western Wisconsin, and the
res.ion to the northward being embraced
within the area oflow and temperature,
where the readings range between 81
ana SO degrees below zero IN the states
named, and reached 80 degrees below
at Minnesota. Manitoba. Zero tempera-
ture extends TO line traced from cen
tral Virginia over Tennessee, northern
Arkansas and southern Oklahoma, and
at Cincinnati the low temperature re-
cord has been broken with reading of
l6 degrees below zero, the lowest pre-
vious temperature ever recorded by the
weather bureau at that place being II
below February Sth, 1895, aad on Jan
urry /, 1886.
The outlook is that there will be a
marked, though gradual moderation in
temperature east of the Rocky Noun
rains after today. In Florida and the
cola priod will be Of brief duration and
a return to the normal temperature may
be expected in that section by Friday
night.

CHANGED HIS mind
Senator Applet Wants 2 Vote cn the
Liunor Question.

At the session rf the State SENATE
Wednesday night Senator Apclt offered
a bill for ;'the submission to the voters
of certain counties the question Of high
license, prohibition or dispensary and
to provide for carrying out the said
election.
When ASKED about this change from
what was supposed to be his position
Mr. Applet said:
No doubt you think the introduc-
tion of this bill is reversal OF my po-
sition and to some extent it is. but [
have given the subject considerable
thought and have come to the con-
clusion that the people are tired of this
everlasting ding-donging about the dis,
pensary and they want the liquor ques-
ton eliminated from politics.
The fact is. in most OF the counties
in the State, questions that should
have been discussed in the primary
were entirely sidetracked by the ques-
ton whether or not liquor should be
solo under State control
Il have been an ardent supporter Of
the dispensary system because | be-
lieved it the practical way Of handling
the traffic. In my county it works
like charm and has lesscnei the drink
habit.
Il an now satisfied the only :say to
get the liquor question out Of politics IS
to let the pcople>in the counties say
what they want and when they have
spoken the matter will be settled. This
is good democratic doctrine and it will
take away from the politicians hobby
they how ride in political races. At
one time | was doubtful Of the aGvisa-
bility Of putting the liquor question to
the people because | feared that it
could only result in permitting licenses
to the large cities to the detriment Of
the smaller towns, but when consider
the complete failure of the authorities
to enforce the dispensary law in the
large cities feel it would be better to
permit some notifications and proyis-
ions which will have tendency to put
stop to this defiance Of law l sin
cerely believe il We continue in this
failure to enforce the dispensaly in the
large cities the evil will grow and reach
the smaller towns sooner or later, and
eventually make the law farce.
Il am convinced it is against the
wishes and interests Of the people for
the dispensary to remain in politics and
believe the management Of the dispen-
sary has become huge political ma.
chine. What leads me to this belief
is the scene | witnessed upon the floor
of the house during the joint session
for election of memoer OF the State
board. Il is notorious fact that dis
pensary officials aud their friends work
ed aud lobbied for the defeat Of can
didate for the position; personal ap-
rea!s were made 20 members to vote
agaiast the candidate they we're -oppos,
ing. Why this vas done J; SO not know
out do know it has the appearance OF
too muca politics in a business insti1r-
ton and the grip OF the p5.2t.c IA ohouit

He Disappeared.

The Anderson Intelligencer says Mr..
Thos. Z. Watkins, prominent farmer
who lives in Hopewell Township, has
mysteriously disappeared. He went to
Anderson on the 9th OF January and
left his horse at livery stable. II is
reported that he was at Calhoun Falls
the next day. and that he boarded the
west bound train or the Seaboard Air
Line. Nothing has been heard from
him. aud his family and friends are
very uneasy about him. No cause has
been assigned for his cratic conduct.

DisnersarY Insurance.

1.-THE meeting Of the State board Of

port as othe vogue Insurance matter was
presented. The committee says: We
find the losses by fire in the dispense

were issued March 20 and April 10,
1897. After careful inquiry we find
this to be bogus company, therefore
nothing can be recovered on these
policies. We fnd there were forty Of
these policies on dispensaries IN the
State, with premiums amounting to
$3.50 and losses by IRE amounting to
$500. The last polic, in this company
expired eight monjh> ago. Ii the tu-
