Crowds gathered at the grand stand

turn in the course the buoy had drift

strung out over a long stretch OF wa

have no doubt won the race, but the
judges decided that 1t was no race,
and It will have to be run over again.
The rain continued to come down
incessantly, and the restless. water
soaked spectators struggled from the
grand stand toward home. A confer
ence was held i: the regatta head

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
wish, Mr.. Editor, to heartily en-
dorse your statement that we should
make our candidates for the legisla-
ture speak out on other political sub
jects than the Constitutional amend
ment-a matter that will be settled
beyond recall on the very day that
they are elected.
want, first of all, to know how
each candidate stands on the ques-
ton of better public schools. Whether
or not the amendment is adopted the
present pitiful allowance given N
free schools is a disgrace to North
Carolina. Think of it twenty-three
per cent. of our white population
unable to read or write. And of all
the wild and woody, cowboy, Indian
States out West that we are accus-
toned to poke fun at and class
among the semi barbarOus sections
of the world, only n but
that is doing nor for public schools
and has a smaller per cent. of white
illiterates than our own beloved
North Carolina! Is it not time for
us to wake from our Rip Van Wrinkle
sleep and, for the sake of the good
name of our State and the welfare
and safety of our children, resolve
to better matters? First of all, as
The Progressive Farmer continually
urges, see that your candidate for
the legislature is pledged to do every
thing short of bankrupting the State,
for better and longer public schools.
1 am glad to see that The Pro
gressive Farmer is giving to all men
and all parties a chance to discuss
the issues of the day on their merits
and in a straightforward manner. I
wish we had more such papers.

WHY I OPPOSE THE CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
1t will not eliminate the negro
from politics.
1t will disfranchise only the better
class of negroes.
In my Judgment, it was proposed
mainly to perpetuate a party in
power regardless of it's conduct.
1t is wrong for any State to dis
franchise its citizens for the lack of
an education, when it has not ample
provisions for the education of it's
children. These provisions should
not stop short of a compulsory edu-
cation law. The child should have
some State rights as we'll as the
father.
We have over twice as many
whites as negro voters, therefore I
see no chance of negro rule long at Il
time.
The white voters of the State have
come to the rescue Of their brothers
in the East twice since the war when
they have been imposed on by negro
rule, and will gladly do so again when
necessary.
1t will reduce our strength in the
National Government. This view is
from a non-partisan standpoint.

A DEMOCRATIC SUPPORTER OF THE
AMENDMENT.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
AS many of your readers are doubt
less aware, l am a Democrat, and
favor the amendment. don't pro
pose to enter into a lengthy discus
sion of the reason for the faith with
in me, but think with the negro
eliminated it will be best for both
races. There will be friction between
the races as long as the question of
supremacy is agitated, and the negro
question being now agitated prevents
the real discussion of political ques-
tiOns in this State.
lam not a negro hater, and all fair
Southern men commend the loyalty
of the negroes during the Civil War.
Their fidelity to the women and chill
dren of the South while the men
were on the firing line of the South
ern COntederacy is unparalleled in
the worlds history, and I shall never
forget such unselfsh devotion. While
the negro is evidently the inferior of
the Anglo-Saxon, he has among many
faults shining virtues, and in elimi-
mating him from the franchise priv
lege, I wish to save him from him
self. I believe in his mental develop
ment as far as attainable, and also in
his spiritual improvement. Let him
have schools, let him have a fair
chance to make an honest living, let
him have the enjoyment of religion
in life and the consultations of re-
ligion in death, but for the present
at least, take him out of politics.
