and acts of Southern Democrats, or
rather Southern white men, for in the
contest SO gloriously ended last
Thursday white man aud Democrat
are synonymous.
The remarkable thing is that the
people of North Carolina were so slow
in moving for the elimination OF the
ignorant negro element from our poll
tics and that they should have patient
ly borne with it so long. Having
borne with it so long it is doubtful
il they would have moved even when
they did If it had not been for the way
the fusion managers pandered to the
negro vote, and the way they recog-
nized that vote in the distribution Of
offices in the Eastern counties, which
aroused the white people to the i'm
pending danger of negro domination
in the East and the necessity OF doing
something to avoid it, when a Demo
cratic Legislature had the power to
give the people an opportunity to
act. With such inscriptions trick
sters as Marion Butler and Jeter
Pritchard planning and plotting to
hold their grip. and working upon
such an element as the ignorant ne
gro, with an ignorant white contin-
gent, as are led by revenue officers.
deputy marshals, etc, there was no
telling what might happen and what
the fate might be il those Eastern
counties having large negro popula-
tions and therefore supreme effort
became necessary to prevent tho sue
cess Of these tricksters. with possible
and probable negro domination as n
result of their success.
The white people of North Carolina
saw the danger and wisely and patriot
ically they confronted it and averted
it, not only for the present, but for
all time, because revolutions never
go backward"
They did practically what the peo-
Pile Of any Northern State would have
done il they had had taste Of negro
domination or stood in fear OF it.
They would not have patiently sub
mitted to the conditions for thirty
years as the white people of North
Carolina did, but would have asserted
white supremacy at the first indica-
tion Of danger, and there isn't one in
a thousand Of the people up there, re-
gardless OF politics, who gives the
contest in this State thought who
does not approve the action Of the
white men of North Carolina in elimi-
mating the vicious and ignorant negro
element from our politics. thus in
suring the rule of the white man.
They pay about as little attention to
the "red shirt" rot in the columns Of
the partisan journals as we do down
here, for they know it wasn't the red
shirt but the white man who was the
factor in this revolution and in bring
ing about what the Times calls .'sim-
ply the inevitable
Virginia will follow the example of
North Carolina and then the ignorant
negro will be eliminated in six of the
Southern States, namely. Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Zen
nessee, Mississippi and Louisiana,
which will be followed by other
Southern States where the negro may
be or may become troublesome fac
tor, until he is eliminated everywhere
that his elimination may be desirable.
1t is ''simply the inevitable" and no
amount Of partisan brawling or of red
shirt rot can prevent it.

BEST FOR BOTH.
Showing That the People of North
Carolina Understand the Race Ques-
ton.
(New York Telegram.)

NA>S" VI n ASASt5
The people of North Carolina, hav-
ing adopted such constitutional
amendment as practically disfran-
chises the negro in that State, have
taken a long stride toward the set
t1ement of the race question, SO far
as they are themselves concerned. 1t
has been demonstrated in North Car
olina and in every other section of the
South that the participation OF the
negro in politics is the great cause Of
disorder and racial feeling.
The attempt of unscrupulous Re-
publicans to exalt the negro in the
scale of citizenship and to array his
numbers against his own best inter-
ests and those of white men, has led
to more lynchings than any other
circumstance in connection with
Southern elections.
The negro cares but very little for
the privilege of voting. He under
stands neither the questions at issue
nor the purposes of the party whose
cause he espouses. 1t is only be-
cause his feelings are aroused against
the white men that he demonstrates
any enthusiasm in campaign.
Reports from North Carolina an
nounce that the better class of Re-
publicans, those who have no polit-
ical aspirations to be promoted by
using the negroes, voted yesterday in
favor of their disfranchisement, while
the negroes themselves. finding they
could do little to affect the inevitable
result. manifested nothing but indif-
ference Nothern Republicans, who,
fiom sheer ignorance, regard the ne
gro in the South as the victim OF un-
reasonable prejudice, will doubtless
exclaim in horror over the detemina-
ton to deprive them of their so-called
political rights.
AS fact, however, the negro is not
entitled to vote until he has demon
strated sufficient intelligence to ap-
preciate the purposes for which he
votes. He belongs to an inferior
race. and the problems which have
arisen in connection with him are
due to an attempt to ignore this pal
pable truth.
The North Carolina people have de-
termined to ignore it no longer, and
their wisdom will save them much
trouble, both for themselves and the
negroes as well

IN THE OLD DAYS.
(J. A. Edgerton, in Coming Age.)

(J. A. EdSertOn, In Coming Age.)
The old days. DO you ever think of them,
When sitting silent as the shadows meet?
When lying broad awake at dead of night,
To hear the rain that drips into the caves,
Do you remember how sweet was your
sleep
In the old days?
The old days, when you wanted to grow
big,
Before you knew the sorrows it would
bring;
When looking at the blue hills far away
And thinking OF the world that lay be-
DO you remember how you yearned for it
In the old days?
The old days, they are furrOwed DER with
graves,
The sweet faced mother, first and dearest
friend;
The old home faces that you used to know,
Your playmates and your sweethearts,
where are they?
Do you remember how you loved and lost
In the old days?
The old days! How they brim the eyes
with tears
And fill the heart with longing and regret,
Oh, there are tragedies for every life,
And there are songs as sweet as ever sung,
And there are memories that never die
In the old days!
