years old. If the under count was as
great among the children under ten in
proportion to their number as in the pop
ulation over that age, the total under
count for the State would be 1873, 900, and
the total population in 1880 more than
1850 900.
From this it appears that North Caro-
lima had a small fraction over the num-
ber of people required to give ten rep
resentatives in 1890. If the census OF

sentative without presuming a higher
rate OF gain on account of the almost
phenominal development in manufactur-
ing. continuation of the per cent. of
gain between 1870 and 1880 would have
shown 1927 ,000 people in North Carolina
in 1890 and q further continuation through
the decade just closed would show in
1900 1855, ,0G0-nearly 200 600 more than
is indicated by this calculation. This
shows that the gain that it indicates is
not improbable. for there is no reason
to believe that the rate Of natural gain
has materially decreased and it is GER
tain that the loss by migration was
less between 1880 and 1890 than between
1870 and 1880, and it is not probable that
during the ten years there has been any
loss at all from that source.

ALL THE LAWYERS SAY so
Mr.. Simmons Will Fight the Devil
With Fire.
WILL ARREST THOSE CAUSING ARRESTS
Opinion Of Ex-Chief Justice Shepherd and Col.
Argo in Regard TO the Scope and
Meaning Of Section Al Of the
Election Law.

Chairman Simmons, upon seeing in the
News and Observer yesterday morning
statements that Mr.. Butler proposes to
attempt to arrest registrars under Sec
tion AZ of the Election Law with view
to intimidating registrars, sent the fol-
lowing telegram to the chairmen in the
different parts of the State:
Section AZ, Election Law, has no ref
erence to the duties of a registrar except
as to making returns. If registrar is ar
rested under this section, employ counsel
and proceed against party instituting pro-
ceedings, for assault and conspiracy, and
under Section Fifty-two.
r. M. SIMMONS"
The ten sections Immediately preceding
Section AZ refer to returns by Judges of
Election and other election officers, abb
stracts of returns, method of counting
lawyers here as perfectly plain that Sec
tion AZ has reference to these returns.
The section reads ANY registrar or Judge
of Election, or any county canvasser or
commissioner, register of deeds, clerk or
chairman of the County Board of Elec-
tions, failing to make the returns and per-
form the duties required Of him, etc. !"
This section makes it a crime to fail to
perform these duties and also provides
that the Attorney General may bring ac-
tion in behalf of the State for the sum
of $500 against anyone of these officers
falling to discharge the duties imposed
upon them, with reference to these re-
turns and abstracts.
JUDGE SHEPHERD AND COL ARGO.
The following is the opinion of ex
M. Argo:
Raleigh, N. c., July 81, 1900.
Dear Sir:-In reply to your questions,
we would say that, in our opinion, Section
AZ of the Election Law has no application
TO the conduct of registrar in registering
or falling to register any person. 1t seems
to relate to returns of election officers
in respect thereto. This view is strongly
sustained by the context and especially
that part which makes the certificate OF
the Governor or Secretary of State compe
tent, prima facie evidence of the 'particu-
lar default
Our opinion, therefore, is that any pro-
ceeding under Section AZ against the reg
istrar. because OF his manner of conduct
ing the registration, would be void, and
those who, under such proceeding, ''in-
terrupt or disturb the registrar while ac-
tiyely engaged in the regiStra tiOn of vO-
tiers" would be liable to criminal prosecu
tion as well as to civil action
Very truly,
JAMES E. SHEPHERD,
THOS. ARGO.

Bailey in Thomasville.
Especial to News and Observer

Thomasviile, N. c., July 21.-Our people
have not had the pleasure of hearing a
better speech since the campaign opened
,than that of Editor j. W. Bailey, of the
Biblical Recorder, in Thomasville last
Wednesday afternoon.
He followed Hon. NJ H. Justice, who
had made the constitutionality of the
Amendment as clear as day; and his ar
gument that the negro is not fit to eX-
ercise the franchise, and that his enter
ing into the privilege and power of a
sovereign in his crude condition had de-
graded the political situation to shame
fully low level, was so strong and clear
and high that not a man in the multitude
before him could gain say nor resist it.
Mr.. Bailey did not speak as party man,
but as citizen deeply interested in the
welfare of all the people, and he appeal
ed with great force and earnestness to
Republicans and Populists to stop their
foolish warfare upon the most effective
measure for the publication of politics,
ever presented to our people.

A woMAN's EARNEST APPEAL.
Daughter Of Confederate Soldier Asks White
Men to Do Their Duty.

A North Carolina woman, daughter
of a Confederate soldier, sends to the
News and Observer the following APP
peal to the men OF the State to DO
their duty as white men in the elec-
tion on August 2nd:
The women of the Old North State
have always been conservative. There
has been no camor for woman's rights,
no cry for suffrage. We are content to
leave affairs political in the hands of our
brave men.
But, brothers, the question that is to
be decided on the second of August 10
one of vital importance. 1t means more
to us than it means to you! What shall
be the result of that days work?
We have been insulted, we have been
placed in situations of extreme danger.
The opportunity is given you to say
whether or not these things are to con-
tinue. Beware of binding zeal ond
mistaken loyalty to party.
Whatever may be your political views,
whether you are Democrat, or a Re-
publican, or Populist, you are a white
man. Above the claims of humanity,
devotion to country, or loyalty to party,
side by side with your fear of Almighty
God stands high and holy your reverent
love of the sacred purity of your women.
Not one of you but scorns the taint
of African blood. Not one of you but
would die for the women Of your homes
Your fathers, and many of you who are
reading this appeal, fought like mad
men when the provocation was far less!
Starving, freezing, dying, our brave men
fought. And we honor and thank you.
God bless the Boys in Gray!
And now we ask not one drop of blood,
not one sacrifice of true principle; we

notes. 1t was then rendered for the first
time by Louisa Taylor and Fannie,
daughter of Mr.. Birdsall.
The last few notes in 'Hurrah. Hur-
rah for the Old North State forever"

BRYAN GRIMES HOME
.2,500 People Greet Him and
Mr.. T. w. Bickett.
An Eloquent Speech by Mr.. Beckett, an Ele-
giant Dinner and Telling Speech by
Col. Grimes. Pit Alright.
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Grimesland, N c., July 19.-Hon. T. w.
Bicket, of Louisburg, and Col. j. Bryan
Grimes, spoke at Black Jack yesterday
TO 2,500 people.
Black Jack is the voting place of Chicod
township, Col Grimes home precinct.
Messrs. Grimes and Beckett came out
by the way of Greenville and were met
several miles from here and escorted in
by $500 mounted red shirts. 1t was
an imposing scene and a great day for
Democracy in old Pitt. Tom Bicketts
fame as an orator had preceded him and
Col. Grimes presence among his neigh
bors and home people created an enthus
iasm as was never before witnessed in
Eastern North Carolina
Beckett first held the crowd in close at
tention for two hours, while in living
words, high oratory and deep thought,
he preached to them pure Democracy
and White Supremacy. His arraepment
of Marion Butler as the arch traitor of
the white people OF. North Carolina was
terrible. Beckett is a fine, fluent speaker,
and when he had finished the whole SEEM
ed to be a unit for White Supremacy
At this point we had dinner. Fifty-six
pigs, sixteen broiled murtons, and trim
mings of bread, cake and biscuit was the
feast set before us, and this. together
with good music by the Oceola band from
Creenville, was our entertainment thus
far.
After eating in peace and plenty the
whole crowd returned to the grand stand,
and after more fine music and many
calls for Col Grimes, he arose and ad
dressed his home people. 1t was indeed
touching scene to see the stiffness OF
that vast throng with anxious faces and
high beating hearts gather around him
to hear the truth, as they knew he would
tell it,. His call to the white manhood
OF North Carolina to stand together was
irresistible. His picture of the dark
shadow that was threatening us was
very forcible, and then on the other hand
his portrayal of the dawn of White Su
premacy in North Carolina was beautiful
He told them that he had returned to
them with a greeting and message from
the West, that the West and the East
were coming together and on the End day
of August, would by a majority of $4,000
establish White Supremacy in North Caro-
lima
Today has been a great day for Democ-
racy and write it here over my signature
that all this talk of disaffection in East
ern North Carolina is not true. The
with people of the East will do their
part and they appeal to the West to help
them. God grant that this dark pail be
lifted and in its stead the rays of White
Supremacy shine forever.

Sample Radical Meanness.

Hon. A. C. Sharpe, who is, and has
been n Republican, is canvassing the
county for the amendment. He has al
ways been given a respectful hearing
by both Democrats and Republicans.
He lad an appointment last night 10
speak in the court house. The Republi-
cans deliberately locked the court house
door and would let no one know where
the key was. Such is their boasted
spirit of fairness. No speaker of any
party was ever treated so before in this
