Your committee desire u i:npress
upon the society the great advantage
of having a library al Mount Il on;
to the school, to the children aud to
the community. While Wiunsboro
has always enjoyed the reputation OF
being q place where culture and re.
inement are appreciated and fostered,
there has never been public library
here. This may be accounted for
from ths fact that the people Were' oe-
fore the war, able TO provide them
selves with private libraries and the
necessity for public enterprise IN this
direction was net felt. Now the cop-
ditions are changed and the necessity
for some combined ef1rt on our part
to supply the children, at least, with
ND to date literature is pressing. 1t is
true our effort seems very small ana
feeble in comparisoE with what might
be done, but it is the best we May be

GOOD ADVICE FROM SOUTH CAR.
OLINA.

The Constitutional Amendment is not
negro. 1t is to emancipate him from polit
zeal slavery TO a few corrupt and selfish
leaders, and to relieve the white men of
the State from ignorant and vicious rule.
Wherever the mass of ignorant negroes
have been eliminated from suffrage. two
results have followed:
/. The political conditions have been
greatly improved, better men have been
elected to office, and there Is more gen.
eral satisfaction by the voters
.. The negroes, freed from vassalage
from their political owners, turn their
attention 20 material things, and get
along better than where there is race
friction.
The last issue of the Sampson Demo-
crat contains a letter written by Or. J.
4. Faison, of Bennettsville, S. c., which
contains facts that ought to have weight
with North Carolina voters in the August
election. AS there is similarity between
the South Carolina and North Carolina
amendments as to the practical result,
DR.. Faisons account of it's workings in
the Palmetto State may be said to fore
cast how it will work i'll North Carolina.
We quote:
1.-THE political situation here is delight,
full. We all go to the primaries, cast
our vote for the best man, and tisre
is no swapping or compromises made
at conventions. So on election day every

tory. 1 feel deeply interested in the conf
ing election in my native State, and I
want to say to those of my friends who
left the Democratic party, that if they
could live in State where there is a
suffrage qualification they would be de-
lighted with the changed condition.
1.-The uneducated white man does not
lose his vote, and the negro as a class
is satisfied.
II have practiced medicine in rural
districts Of North and South Carolina aic
will say after a stay of nearly three
years in South Carolina, that there "a
less friction and less dissatisfaction
among the negroes here, than in North
Carolina. The negro question has been
eliminated from politics, and we have an
ideal government. | have oever heard
half dozen negroes in South Carolina
complain of the election law. They have
accepted the situation and are contented
and far happier than the negroes CT
North Carolina. My friends, you have a
common interest; you went of from your
party in the hope of reformation; YOU
were honest in your convictions; so |
will ask you to take retrospective view,
and then join hands, for there is no
salvation for my friends in Nor'h Caro-
lima outside of the Democratic party. !

but having many friends in the Popni'st
party, am DESTROYS that they bur" the

purpose, of a better government for the

MORE ROOM FOR THE INSANE.

In his address to the students OF the
Agricultural and Mechanical College last
night, DR.. Murphy stated that he per-
sonally has the names Of over three hun
dred insane in Western North Carolina
who cannot be accommodated in the
Western Hospital This ought not so to
be. The State ought to care for all its
unfortunate insane, and give them the
best treatment in the early stages of the
disease so that many could be cured and
restored to their families. DR.. Murphy
advocates what is known as the colony
system, and suggests inexpensive cottages
for those who are able to work instead of
new hospitals or large buildings.
The State has no higher duty than the
proper care and treatment of the insane,
and provision ought to be made without
delay for all who stand in need of treat
ment for mental disorders.

For time past many Republican and

late Senator u. b. Vance was very partial to me-
gro voting and rule, and that if the Senator was

far influenced the Democratic party that tn,

This is nothing less than SANDER upon Vance,

The honest Populists cannot be led by

only one way to do it--cut the tail of the

amendment does. Here is a fair sample
