MAKE NO COUNTER TBR EATS.

The Fusion heather continue to
rage and gnash their teeth because
they cannot get on the registration
books the names of some fifty thou
sand negroes they've been accus-
toned to vote, but who are not en-
titled under the law to cast a bal
lot.
Though the provocation is great,
Democrats must not meet these
threats with counter-threats. But,
exercising their zeal with prudence
and forbearance, they must stand
firm, permitting no intimidation to
force them to go beyond their
sworn duty by putting on the
books the names of men not emit
tied to be there.
North Carolina expects every
white man to do his full duty in
this campaign. There are no cow
ards among them; but if trouble
comes it must not come at their
seeking.

Democrats promised to eliminate
the negro from politics"
On February 22nd, 1899, the
Caucasian said, after the amend.
ment had been introduced:
"When the Democrats eliminate
the negroes from politics, then
those who voted the Democratic
ticket simply because the negro
voted with the Republicans, will
be free men and can vote for prin
ciple hereafter. It will free the
whites. They will no longer be
called upon to vote against the ne
gro party-will be no such party
Let her 60"
In defining the position of the
Populist party to the amendment
it said on January End, 1899:
"When the negro is no longer
the issue, then Populists can be
heard on the issue that affects the
great masses of the people. Then
the minds of the people will not be
darkened and their prejudices
aroused by the cry of negro domi-
nation. Then a sorry white man
cannot stand behind a good white
mans back and call him negro,
because he does not look at political
questions like he does, or vote the
ticket issued out to him"
It was not until, in that room in
Washington, that Butler and
Pritchard made the unholy and
dishonorable and disgraceful trade,
that any Populist raised his voice
against the amendment. Butler,
trading with Pritchard and Hanna,
promised to deliver the Populist
vote against the amendment for
one or two things: /. If the Flu
sion won, the Republicans were to
vote for him for the Senate; 2. If
the Fusionists lost the State, Butler
was to be given an office by Nc
Kinley if reelected. AS a part of
the trade Butler agreed to use his
influence to nominate a Populist
candidate for Vice-President in or
der to help in McKinley's election.
That's the secret of the ''hop"
after the Caucasian had howled for
the elimination of the negro.
Butler can't deliver the goods.
The Populists-or many of them
refuse to be sold out to vote for
Negro Rule.

Lumberton Threatened.
Wilmington Star, 14th.)

Considerable excitement was caused
yesterday afternoon by a report which
gained currency in Wilmington to the
effect that there were racial troubles in
progress in Lumberton over registration
matters. Advices received from there
late yesterday afternoon were, however,
that there had been no outbreak and tb at
the rumors probably originated from in
cendiary threats made by negroes that
they would cut telegraph lines and burn
the town unless their fragrant and insolent
demands (whatever they may be- were
complied with. A gentleman in Whining
ton, whose family is in Lumberton, at 3
O'Clock telegraphed his brother regarding
the rumor and received this reply: do
not apprehend trouble; we are prepared
if it comes"
There were here last night we'll nigh
a thousand men who viva voce volunteer
ed to go if necessary to Lumberton, for
which town Wilmington has a warm
heart and a brotherly affection

Much as they dislike to do so,
the Republicans are continually
furnishing object lessons that show
GOOD results that will follow the
adoption of the Amendment. Here
is one: In Burke county there is
a lifelong Republican named
Axley Smith. He can neither read
nor write and has never sent hi:
children to school, saying that he
has succeeded pretty well without
an education and they ought to be
able to do as well. The other day,
however, when the public schools
opened he entered every child he
had. Asked why he did so he re-
piled that he wanted his children to
be able to vote and that, under the
Amendment, if they could not
read and write they could not vote.
Could there be a stronger incen-
tive to education than the Amend
ment or a stronger argument than
the above for its adoption!

With The Tar Heel Editors
HERE'S A PRETTY FAIR SAMPLE.
Burke County News.)

A young negro one day last week
applied to Registrar Perry for regis
tration, claiming that he came of age
on the 9th day of June, 1900. Mr..
Perry, not being satisfied that the ne
gro was of age, told him he would
be required to furnish proof of what
he claimed. The next day the negro
returned with a Testament in which
was written his name and birthday
9th of June, 1879. Mr.. Perry asked
him how long that had been written
there. Dat was put dare when | was
baby" was his reply. Mr.. Perry
turned to the title page and discovered
that the book was printed in the year
1898. The negro didn't register, but
was shown the door and asked to re-
tire hastily.

TWO WEEKS OF HARD WORK.

There are just fifteen more
working days-then the election.
They must indeed be days of
work. The tide is running strong
ly in our direction. In fact it is
coming with such sweep and force
that it seems no power on earth
will be able to resist it. But Demo
Gratis must be ON their guard. The
enemy is alert, watchful and des-
perate-halting at nothing, ready
to take advantage of anything.
The danger now is in over-con-
fdence. The advocates of White
Supremacy must continue to labor
in season and out of season, never
wearying in we'll doing. As long
as there is an honest white man
who is not for the Amendment the

THE POPULISTS URGED TIKI
AMENDMENT.

Some Populist leaders, whose
expenses are paid out of the Repub-
lican campaign fund, are going
about the State denouncing the
Democrats for submitting the Con-
stitutional Amendment to the PEG
pie. If it was wrong to submit it,
the Populist Legislators are also to
be condemned, for the only Popu-
list Senator voted for it and the
Populist leaders in the House from
Buffers own county, acting upon
Buffers advice, voted to submit it
to the people. 1t is now with the
voters, and they will vote for it or
against it according as they think
it wise measure or not.
In submitting the amendment,
the Legislature carried out the
mandate of the people-Demo-
Gratis, Republicans and Poprlists
After the Wilmington Revolution,
all good men saw that some peace
full method must be devised to pre-
vent any repetition of such trouble.
The amendment is the only RENE
dy that was suggested.
The Populist leaders may be said
to have urged the elimination OF
the negro, for in the Populist
handbook of 1898, page four, il
says:
During a period of twenty
years in which that party swayed
overwhelming power in North
Carolina, it never passed a law nor
made an effort to disfranchise OF
take from the negro the power of
the ballot which they now declare
they SO mortally dread.
Tf'In nearly every Southern State
except North Carolina, the negro
is disfranchised, with the result
that racial antagonism cannot be
aroused, because of the absence of
basis on which to proceed. The
same power that DISTINGUISHED the
negro in these Southern States has
been welded by the Democratic
party in North Carolina for TWEEN
ty years, and yet no advantage
whatever has ever been taken of
that power"
DR.. Cyrus Thompson in No
vember, 1898, after the election,
followed this up by saying that
the people who gave the Demo
Gratis power would not submit to
anything else than getting rid of
the negro in politics. Other Popu-
list leaders said the same. During
the Legislature the Caucasian pre-
dicted that the Democrats would
not keep their promise to eliminate
the negro. When the Jim Grow
car law was introduced it declared
that "The meaning of all this is
that the Democrats do not propose
to call a Constitutional convention
or meet the expectation OF the
people on the suffrage question,
and therefore it is necessary to get
up some dodge on which to try to
satisfy credulous people that they
are doing their duty in stopping
the supposed negro domination
that they howled so tremendously
about In the campaign"
On the oath of November the
Caucasian said:
"The Populists and white Re
publicans who voted the Demo
cratic ticket did so no doubt with
the distinct understanding that a
Democratic legislature would call
a constitutional convention. We
will now see whether or not the
Democratic machine will keep
faith with these voters"
In its issue of january 26th,
1888, the Caucasian said: 'The
