MAX O'RELL.
"Tke Wittiest Writer and the Most
Fascinating Speaker of France

The st. Paul. Mimi. Pioneer says
this of Max O'Rell, who is to lecture
under the auspices of the Henderson
Lyceum at Cooper Opera House next
Thursday evening:
Loyal, liberal, cosmopolitan Max
O'Rell is the wittiest writer and the most
fascinating speaker Of France, with whom
the American people are acquainted per
sonally. "Her Royal Highness, Woman,
is the latest lecture. Nearly one thons-
and people of cultured taste and exciting
appreciation heard him last evening, and
all were pampered with judicious fiattery,
amused by infectious humor and nour-
ished with chaste sentiments and plain,
sensible talk.
Max O'Rell like all Frenchmen on the
platform, is polished in his style, and like
every cosmopolitan he is natural; his
gestures are graceful and reserved; his
delivery is vivacious and modest. In his
effort to provoke mirth he sometimes
touches the finest chords of sentiment
and emotion. His nonsense is often phi
Iosophy. He is no wit but a humorist,
and uses his humor only as the thread on
with less friction.
The most poetic and pathetic passages
in the lecture were those devo ted to enlO-
gies of Jacqueline, the peasant girl, and
the life of France, and her reception OF
bedraggled soldiers in the war OF 1870
He thought the American girl the most
beautiful, intellectual, cordial. unconven.
tiOnal, and interesting in the world

CONGRESS AND SUFFRAGE.

The learned Senators are now con-
sidering Senator Pritchard's resolu-
ton against the Louisiana law and
our proposed amendment. With them
it becomes great Constitutional
question. What are they going to
do about it? Why nothing more
than discuss it theoretically from a
Constitutional standpoint and prac-
tically do nothing.
Congress granted negroes in the
District of Columbia the privilege of
voting and in three years withdrew
the privilege because they abused it.
Negro suffrage in the District Of
Columbia made such a condition of
affairs as was unbearable, and Re-
publican Congress withdrew it.
North Carolina has tried it not for
three years but for over 80 years and
will now stop it.
The white men in North Carolina
are in large ma ority, have the intel
ligence, the morality and property on
their side and are determined to rule
in every part of the State.

Ners and Observer, written by Mr..

1t is with sadness that we announce
the death of Mrs. +. n. Crews, which
occurred at her home in Granville county,
Salem township. at O'Clock D. M,
January 9th, 1900.
Mrs. Crews was a good woman. She
had been sick for sometime, but bore her
affection with Christian grace and forti-
tude. Her husband, Mr. f. n. Crews,
preceded her to the spirit land November
18th, 1899. He was in his 10th year
and she in her 10th year.
These persons We're married and lived
together in this, the Salem neighbour
hood, for tifty-one years. They were
truly grod neighbors. good Christians.
and loved their people and their church.
They were noted for being kind-hearted
and sympathetic. No one in poverty or
distress was ever turned away from them
empty handed.
They will both be missed not only in
the church at Salem. but throughout
this whole community. blessed are the
dead who die in the Lord
The funeral and burial service took
place at Salem, Monday, January Doth,
at O'Clock p. m, conducted by Rev.
j. ID. Psgram and Rev. w. S Hester.

GIVEN A HALF HOLIDAY,

Eice-President f. St John, of the
Seaboard Air Line, in keeping with
the broad spirit that marks the man,
and which has put on his side the
people of all the States through which
the Seaboard Air Line passes, made
yesterday (Jan. 19th) half holiday
in memory of the birthday of Robert
f. Lee. 1t was a graceful act on the
part of the distinguished and big
hearted New Englander. Not few
have remarked in Norfolk during the
trying ordeals through which the Sea-
board Air Line has passed of recent
weeks, that the main force toward its
successive legal victories has lain in
the fact that, through such sympa-
thetic touch with the people at all
points. the system has come up forti-
fed in the faith and good will of the
common folk of at least five Southern
States.-Norfolk Tirginian-Pilot.

BUTLER'S SLOGAN.
"Whip this Gang Out of the State
tie Saws.

Marion Butler, in his speech before
the Populist committee in Raleigh, if
he is reported correctly. made a very
ill-timed and unfortunate remark -
for him and his party. Abiding to
those who will support the constitu-
tional amendment is reported to have
said: Let us join hands with the
Republicans and whip this gang out
of the State" Rum, Romanism and
Rebellion" killed Blaine. .Whip this
gang out of the State" is now the
slogan Butler has set up against the
white people of North Carolina Let
it ring in his ears until the ballots
are counted, and we will see who is
whipped out. Let him now proceed
with his whipping process. Pertinent
to this matter, correspondent in
Sundays News and Observer asks Mr.
Butler some very direct questions;
for instance:
SWhat gang" Mr.. Butler. is it that
You propose to whip from the
State?" 1t is the men whose fore
bears have made the State great in
peace and terrible in war from the
day that it was carved from the wilder
derness and claimed from savgerv.
Did 1t occur to you when YOU were
uttering this jaunty threat that these
men have never been ''whipped- in
all their history? They are mortal
and may be killed; they can not be
cowed. Their number is limited and
they may be overpowered; they can
not be whipped.-Durham Sun.

THE SECRET OF CHARLOTTE'S
GROWTH.

The city of Charlotte SO handsomely
advertised by Wade II. Harris, whose
pamphlet besides showing its mag
niticent public and private buildings,
its II cotton mills. together with
numerous other man ufacturipg plants,
attcsts its phenomenal increase in
population. For instance in 1880
Charlotte's population was $500, in
1890 it was 1000, in 1899 it was
10000.
A reason assigned for this rapid
growth and material development is
that the public roads leading into
Charlotte have been so highly i'm
proved, that pair Of good horses can
trot over them with loaded wagon,
which fact puts the farmers IN easy
distance Of this great manufacturing
centre But if Charlotte's business
men had not contributed with their
money and energy to the upbuilding
OF their city, she would not now
occupy such an advanced position,
and the roads would not have proved
such boon to the farmers.
But Charlotte has shown keen per-
ception by investing at home in home
industries rather than depending on
foreign capital solely. In other
words her moneyed men lead in the
march of progress and invite out
siders to follow.
Columbia, S c., following in the
wake of Charlotte has recently given
up endeavoring to capitalize an cleo
tric light and car line with outside
capital and its business men have
taken the matter in hand and are now
pushing the enterprise to successful
completion.
Recently the Virginia Electric Com
pany, of Norfolk, owned and operated
by home capital, was sold out to a
foreign company for five times its
capital stock.
These observations have been sug-
gested by the announcement that
Henderson is to have another cotton
mill. Why should Charlotte monop-
oliZe the cotton fabric interest? Is
Mecklenburg's raw cotton better than
that of Vance? Has Mecklenburg as
good water as Vance? Why should
High Point be better furniture
manufacturing centre than Hender-
son? Many other industries into the
manufacturing of which articles TIM
Der enters so largely, could be sue
cessfully operated in Henderson.
These factories would be followed
by others and then Henderson would
have her true position among the
progressive, prosperous manufacture
ing centres of the State.

JuDGING from the tone of Senator
Buffers speech before his commit
tee. he is willing to degrade those
white Populists who in the past have
trusted and followed him and to
incite the negroes to riot and blood
shed, and for what? AS usual for his
own selfish ends; for if he thinks at
all, he knows that he cannot defeat
the will of the white men Of North
Carolina in their determination to
adopt the amendment and forever
settle the negro question in the State.
His sole aim and hope is to he able
to divide with the Republicans of the
State whatever Federal patronage
Mr.. Mckinley may have to bestow.
If the Constitutional Amendment
fails to carry, it will not be the fault
Of the weekly newspapers of North
Carolina. They are devoting con-
siderable space to the matter and are
presenting 1t to the people in an able,
forceful and convincing way. The
State has no trucr friend than its
weekly press.-Charlotte Observer.
Yes, the newspapers always do
their part, and more, in every politi-
cal campaign. They tax their strength,
their time, their finances in behalf of
the cause which they believe to be
right to a greater extent than any
other class perhaps. And as long as
the newspapers throw themselves into
the breach and carry the burden
which others should share with them
just so long will this sort of thing be
expected of them.
