AMENDMENT PL AIN TALK,

1t is doubtful if all the lengthy
labored articles on the amendment
are much in the way of effectiveness.
1t rather seems to this journal that
the friends of the amendment should
blountly state their position and the
reasons why they favor it and then
leave the matter with the people.
The amendment is aimed at the
negro and no one else. 1t is framed
SO that it will not be in conflict with
the Federal Constitution. The negro
has for generation openly displayed
an inveterate political hostility to-
wards the best interest of the State
and the best people in the State.
The people of the State have grown
tired of it and do not propose to take
any more chances of having him in
control. The amendment is proposed
to relegate him to innocuous desue-
tude
An uncompromising statement like
this will have more popular effect
than all the stilted and learned argu-
ments.
This done let the unequivocal as
surances be given that it is the in
tention of the Democratic party that
not one white man shall be disfran-
chised except for an infamous crime.
At one time there was qualified
suffrage in this State. Manhood suf-
frage was brought about by the DEM
ocratic party, which stands now
where it did then.
Let US have plain talk. much more
will be accomplished, and besides
this is the surest way to inspire con-
fidence.-Tarboro Southerner

the Henderson GOLD LEAF advocating
the nomination Of Col. VIM. II. S.
Burgwyn, of Henderson, Vance coun-

Treasurer No better nomination
could be made.

for several months as First Lieuten-
ant. Company Nj, Second n. c. V. l.,
under Col. Burgwyn, and as such l
had an opportunity to study and
know the man. lis not an easy task
to take 1900 or 1909 men, raw, I'M
trained and undisciplined, and mould
them in the course of few months
into a perfectly trained and discip-
lined regiment of fighters. Yet such
was the task accomplished by VIM.
ii. 5. Burgwyn, and that through
ceaseless and untiring vigilance and
energy. Toward each of his subordi-
mates, both officers and enlisted men,
he ever displayed the utmost courtesy
ana consideration, ami discharged the
numerous and irksome duties of his
office faithfully and conscientiously,
to the best of his knowledge and abil-
ity, regardless Of what the cunse-
quences to himself might be.
Should he be nominated for and
elected to the position of State Treas
urer he would bring to the office q

ability for discharging its duties
possessed by few men in the State

THREE AND TORE REASONS.

No man has advanced three better
reasons for the adoption OF the pro-
posed Constitutional amendment than
has c. H. Mebane, Esq, the State
Superintendent of Public instruction.
In a letter to friend, which was not
designed to see the light but from
which we are permitted to copy, he
says:
II expect to support the amend
ment for three special reasons, that |
will mention:
"First-As great incentive to edu-
cation for the rising and the future
generations.
"Second Because it will remove a
great mass Of ignorant negro voters
who form a dangerous power in the
hands of designing politicians.
"Third-It will force the white peo-
pie of this State to spend more money
for public education, and finally force
them to send their children to school,
and thus in the end illiteracy will be
blotted out in North Carolina"
Each of these reasons is a good
one. The adoption Of the amend
mcnt will afford such a stimulus to
education as to remove from North
Carolina the reproach under which
she deservedly labors, that in proper
ton to population she has more il
literate whites than any other State
in the Union. Its adoption will re-
move great mass Of ignorant negro
voters, who form a dangerous power
in the hands Of designing politicians. >
And these arguments take nc
knowledge which, to the Obseruer's
mind is the greatness of them all,
that the adoption of the amendment
will set the white folks as we'll as the
niggers free and that we can have
some discussion OF politics upon their
merits, which we have not been able
to have since the Civil War.-Char.
lotte Observer.

OF Mr.. John Lee Mahin, president
of the Mahin Advertising Company,
of Chicago, the Ottumwa 0a) Courier
recently said this:
MIR. Mahin is one of the most sue
cessful advertising men in the United
States. The publisher of McCyurc's
Magazine informed the writer, when
in New York in November last. that
MIR. Mahin had developed more new
advertisers than any other man in the
Chicago field, and that the success at
tanned by these advertisers under Mr.
Mahin's direction had been simply
phenomenal.
The GOLD LEAF takes occasion to
say that Mr.. Mahin is not only one of
the most successful advertising men
in the United States, but his firm is
also recognized as one of the most
correct and straightforward. Their
honest and satisfactory dealing with
patrons and the fair and considerable
treatment received by the newspapers
make for the confidence and popular
ity of the Mahin Company and its sue
cess is n natural result.

AGAIN THE JORDAN nATTER.

In the Greensboro cOrresponce OF
the Charlotte Observer, Of April Bird,
we find the following paragraphs
The Henderson GOLD LEAF Of last
week attacks J. +. Jordan for speech
he made before the tobacco growers
OF Forsyth county in Winston, saying
he charged the press Of the State with
having been bribed by the Dukes, OF
the American Tobacco Company
When seen to-day Mr.. Jordan dis
claimed any intention or desire on
his part to reflect on the press and
said his language had been misunder-
stood by the Henderson editor, intcn-
tionally or otherwise. Similar state
ments previously made at other Pnb-
lie meetings have not been regarded
by the press as offensive. Mr.. Jordan
acknowledges many cOurtcsies re-
ceived at the hands OF newspaper men
in the fight against the tobacco trust.
The GOLD LEAF never '.attacks"
any one. That is not its style or dis
position. 1t would rather say nice
things than harsh ones. 1t some times
..g0es for a man, as in the case Of
Mr.. Jordan, but never without sutli-
cient provocation.
We may have misunderstood Mr..
Jordan's language, but certainly we
did not do so Intentionally. Nor do
we believe we did 50 ..Otherwise." a
direct charge could not be put in any
palmer language than the Winston
JOurnm credits Mr.. jordan with. And
he does not deny that he was accu-
rately quoted. But he WAS misun-
derstood he says and insists that he
meant only a bit of pleasantly. In
fact, according to Mr.. Jordan's idea
Of humor and culogy his remarks
were complimentary to the editors
rather than detrimental to them.
We do not see it that way and
whenever in our opinion the press IF
the State has been maliyned anl

one will not hesitate to say so,
The mistake Mr. Jordan makes Is
in not regulating the language at

therefor, instead Of irving to shield
himself behind the weak and absurd

the editors of the State with having

We regret the situation Mr.. Jordan
has got himself into. 1t is not agree

prefer bestowing praise to finding
fault, but SO grave a charge as Mr.
Jordan's could not be allowed to pa S
