DIsFRANCHISEMENT OF THE
NEGRO.

At their convention last week the
Democrats of Virginia took the first
steps toward the Acknowledgement of
the brother-in- black" by proposing
a convention for the purpose of revis-
ing the constitution of the State with
particular reference to the qualifica-
tions for suffrage.
However, the movement does not
receive the solid support of the Demo-
Gratis of Virginia. In the first place
there are great many illiterate
whites in the mountains of Virginia
and North Carolina-at least l3 per
cent. of the west population of the
State-will thus be deprived of
the ballot, while the illiterate negro
in the black districts has always
been a valuable auxiliary of the
Democratic party, because, under the
law, the judges of election, who are
generally Democrats, are permitted to
prepare the ballots of illiterate voters
and always mark them for the Demo

negros wish to vote.
Furthermore, the long-headed
Democratic leaders are of the opinion
that the removal of the negro from
politics by depriving him of his ballot
will be followed by split in the
Democratic party. The only way in
which they have been able to hold a
large part of the younger generation
to the political faith of their father
has been by an appeal to race preju-
dice. If the voting power of the
negro is curtailed and he is no longer
factor in politics, it is believed that
the Democrats who believe in protec-
tion, gold standard, expansion and
other Republican principles will join
the Republican party, and many DEM
ocratic newspapers and orators are
pointing out that danger of a change
in the suffrage laws.

fax, May, a." in which the good name
and character of Henry Hull, his wife
and daughter Of Fairfax, also Rev. Mr..
Blake and his son, DR.. Blake of Barton
were involved. AS one of the attor-
neys of Mr.. Hull and family wish to
say that they severally deny the
charges contained in that article.
They say that the scandal referred to
has been promoted and industriously
circulated by citizen of Fairfax.
Rev. Mr.. Blake is and has been an
honored and much beloved pastor and
bears an excellent reputation. DIR.
Blake is now and has been a friend of
Mr.. Hull and his family and is a ply
sician in good standing in Barton. I
have personally known the doctor and
his father for several years. I have
carefully investigated the charges and
pronounced them false. Mr.. Hull
declares this matter to be a deep laid
conspiracy to ruin his daughter and
smirch his own good name. I ask the
public to suspend Judgment and not
be swift to condemn an innocent girl.

The error of refraction, the most to be
dreaded of all eye troubles. This is really
a disease more than an error of refraction,
for when once started, unless attended to
at once, it will keep progressing and the
danger to good eyesight will keep increas
ing. THE WAY TO PREVENT 1T is to
have the eyes receive the proper attention
when they are young, for it is in early life
when the eyes are developing that this
disease is started, but when once begun
the growth of the disease can be retarded
BY THE WEARING OF GLASSES
properly fitted by competent Optician.
We have made study of this disease as
well as all errors of refraction, and feel
confident that cases placed under our care
will receive thorough and painstaking
attention.

THE FAIRFAX SCANDAL.

The Fairfax people as a community
was very much surprised when the
daily Messenger came out with the re-
port of. the Fairfax scandal. No in
vestigation was held. Mr.. Hull, wife
and daughter have been arrested and
Mr.. Hull had the case continued till
June 9Th so he could get counsel. The
people all feel that it is a great injus-
tice to Miss Hull the way this matter
has been brought before the people.
The Fairfax people, as rule, hold the
family in high esteem and Mr.. Hull
and family have the sympathy of the
community. B. NJ. BALLARD.
