CLEVELAND HEARD FROM.
Club Organized-Quinn
and Others Heard From.

Anti-Amendrent Club Organized-Quinn
and Others Heard From.
Mr.. Editor:
We have organized an Anti-Amend-
ment. Club at Earl, Cleveland county,
and have large number enrolled. and
add new names each week. On Satur
day, the 18th inst, we had a meeting
long to be remembered.
J. Fl. Quiin, ESQ, Of Shelby, who had
cen invited to address the club, spoke for
an hour and half on the proposed
amendment and the present "disfran-
Democratic authority that the proposed
andmement is unconstitutional, and that
II adopted, thousands Of the best white
men in North Carolina will be disfran-
chised: that after 1908 Its uneducated
white boys who offer to vote will be
placed below the educated negro dudes
OF the towns: that the only negroes that
will be disfranchised will be the better
class OF the race, who live in the coun
try and have never made themselves Of
fensive; that, II ratified, the amendment
will inevitably retard the progress Of ed
ucation by decreasing the amount Of
money for its public schools and by Gre
ating opposition to public education to
prevent more negroes from obtaining
suficient knowledge to vote; that every
white man in North Carolina. regardless
Of his political Affiliations. is in favor Of
white Supremacy" which we have al
WAYS had; that the Democratic cry for
white Supremacy" means democratic
Supremacy" that the present election
law. if enforced, will disfranchise more
people than the proposed amendment. II
adopted; that the object of the Demo
cratic party In it's cry for "White Su-
premacy" and In refusing Senator But
ler's proposition for joint canvass Is to
draw the attention Of the people from
their record IN the last Legislature. But
the people shall know it.
At the conclusion Of the speech short
pointed talks were made by the following
gentlemen: Ex-Sheriff J. G. Byers, 8. D.
Randall and Mr.. W. B. Martin.
The house was nearly filed with ladies,
from whom the speaker Of the day was
the recipient Of many beautiful flowers.
The men filled the aisles, windows and
doors.
There could not have been more than
a dozen friends Of the amendment pres
ent, although the Democrats had two
speakers present. who asked for divis-
ion Of time The request was declined
for want Of time. The Democrats had
an appointment Of their own at this
place two weeks ago and had a very
small crowd to hear them, hence the
reas son for their request for division Of
time on this occasion.

II Is well enough the legislature ad
journed to come back in June. It Is
the only legislature that ever had to
go back and do its work over: We
copy what the Raleigh correspondent Of
The Henderson Herald says:
ut turns ont that there IL direct con-
fiict In sections two and four Of chapter
21S Of the Laws Of 1899. entitled IAN
act to amend the Constitution Of North
Carolina" This is the chapter which
provides for the submission Of the pro
posed amendment to the people. Section
Il iproyidss that the proposed amend- aend
II a majority Of the qualified voters Of
the State so declare at the election In
August next. Section 4 provides that
liz a majority Of the votes cast are In
favor Of said proposed amendment, the
governor shaft certify the same to the
secretary Of State. Section 2 or article
| u, Of the statute provides that the Con
Of the votes cast are In favor Of such
proposed amendment. IF the election
| should be held under the law as herein
set ont, a grave question for the Su
preme Court wonld at once arise. In
this view Hon. n. g. Connor. speake,
Of the Honse Of Representatives, hat
written the members thereof to be SUR

requisite to registration and voters, thei
names are then Transcribed on the regis
