SPEECH or HON. ". W. KITCHrN.

Following are some ex-
tracts from a speech deliver
I'd by the Hon. W. w. kitch-
in in the House OF Represent
atives May 8, 1900, that it
would be well Il every North
Carollnian could read. Mr..
Kitchin said:
In North Carolina we have
at present about 100000
electors, and it is usually ca
timated that 100000 OF
them. or about one third, are
negroes, the vast majority Of
whom live in the eastern palt
OF the State.

1858:

Or ever have been, in favor
of bringing about in any way
1.-THE social and political equal
lity of the white and black
races-that | am not, nor
ever have been in favor OF
making voters or jurors of
negroes, nor Of qualifying
them to hold office, nor to
intermatry with white people
and | will say in addition tO
this tnat there is a physica|
difference between the white
and black races which | be

two races living together ON
terms of social and political

A Sizing Up Of Butler.

has as it's leading editorial
this week a review Of the ca
reer OF Senator Butler, in
which, after paying high trlt'
ute to his record in the Sen
ate as an exponent OF the
views OF his party, it says:
"In "machine" politics,
however, Senator Butler has
to Il great extent lost an IN
auence which was at one
time more powerful than that
of any other man in the
State. If he had led his fore
es in the right way we believe
he would haye today yielded
an influence greater than ,ev.

Peoples party with first one
old party and then the otter

the old parties at the same
time) until thousands who
were once his faithful follow
ers have lost faith in his lead
ership. And still he goes
lnerrily onward, addressing
local Republican conventions
or Populist conventions as
the case may be. Instead o
pressing the fight against al
forms Of monopoly in Nortf
Carolina, as all Populists
would like to do, he has &C
cepted the battle-ground Sc
lected by Democratic Leaders
and has joined the local Re
publicans in their campaign

that a good thing to prevent the spread
of the disease would be to compel these

stated periods. Smallpox thrives in

An Unworthy Representative

F. G. Stevens was unanimously re-
nominated for congressman from the
Fourth district. The only thing we
now remember him to have said on the
liquor issue was when he was mem
Der of the Legislature. A prohibition
bill was before the House and he mis-
represented his constituents by ridi-
culing the prohibition idea, protesting
to base his opposition on his observa-
ton of it's workings in the Midway
district, and, we believe, in Maine The
fact is that Mr. Stevens is almost the
only resident of the Midway district,
whether friend or foe of the saloon,
who is not delighted to have his home
in prohibition district.
