Monuments to Mash and Davidson Must Wait
Negroes Who May Vote.
Especial to News and Observer. }

Washington, March 2S.-Represen-
tative kitchin has been informed by
Speaker Henderson that he cannot
recognize him TO call up the bill this
session authorizing the erection OF
monuments to Generals Nash and
Davidson. The reason for the refusal
on the part of the Speaker is due to
the fact that there are six or seven
monument bills now on the calendar
and the Speaker is opposed TO all
measures carrying appropriations that
can go over without prejudice to the
public service until next session.
Inquiry by Representative Kitchen
has developed the fact that in 1888
there were in North Carolina $4,000
free negroes who were entitled to
vote. And their descendants will be
entitled to vote said Mr. Kitchen.

is adopted" Mr. Kitchin estimates that
there>ar at least 10000 descendants of
these negroes now in North Carolina.
