Senator Fields For Lieut. Governor

To the Editor: Put it where it can be
seen that the extreme West is going to
feel very much hurt if it is denied the
Lieutenant Governorship. There is not a
single man whose name has been men
tened for the office of Lieutenant Gov
ernor whom, / do not admire, but / live
way up here in Ashe county. l know
that our people feel that the Eastern
Democrats are trying to impose on them
this year. They all feel blue apd feel
hurt TO think that here we are liable to
be ruined eternally on account of having
to bear the burdens of the East, and our
Eastern friends seem to want to leave
the West off of the ticket. Ashe county
was the first county in the West to hold a
convention, and it blazed the way for the
brilliant Aycock. Now we beg the East
to run to our rescue and make us able
to bear the Eastern burden. ! admire
Mr.. Cunningham greatly; l have kindest

legations to that faithful friend of the
people, w. d: Turner; but, gentlemen, let

THE RIGHT SENATORIAL PR
MARY.

There seems now to be no doubt
that the convention next Wednesday
will order primary for the selection
of the next United States Senator.
There are three important points to
be observed if this primary is to be
Il real expression of the will of the
people:
!. 1t should be held in every county
i'll the State and the candidate re-
ceiving the ma jOrity of the votes in
the whole State should be the recog-
nlzed nominee. County primaries
would not reach the end desired.
>. 1t should be held on the same
day i'll November that presidential
electors aud members of the Federal
House are chosen If held at any
other time it will be difficult to oct a
full vote, and will fail to assist in
bringing out large vote in the Ma
voutly to be wished.
3. 1t should be conducted under the
forms of law. The Legislature in
June, without taking any time. can
pass legalized primary law. Either
the South Carolina or the Mississippi
law. word for word. will be exactly
what is needed.
The two first are essential; the last
is important.

THE LATEST WAR NEWS.

The latest war news is eagerly sought
after. To some it brings happiness, as
they read of valiant deeds accomplished,
while to others the same message brings
sorrow, when they note the death or cap
ture of their loved ones. There is also
much sorrow and suffering throughout
our own country by those who have been
captured by that greatest enemy-Dysep-
STA. For this, however, there is remedy
and that is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which also cures indigestion, constipation,
biliousness, nervousness and insomnia,
and as a preventative for malaria, fever
and ague it is unequaled. 1t has record
of fifty years of cures to back it up and a
trial will convince you that your case is
not incurable, as you~Bill find after TAX
ing few doses your stomach will be

Mr.. Mebane For State Superintendent
of Education.

To the Editor: Allow me space in the
columns of your valuable paper to unite
with other teachers in an earnest appeal
TO the Democratic party that Mr.. Chas.
II. Mebane, the present incumbent in the
office of Superintendent of Public Instruc
items, be nominated by the Democratic
party and be continued in office as a
Democratic Superintendent Of Public In
structions.
Mr.. Mebane has proved by every action
that he is capable of performing the
functions of that office; and, if he, with
his four years experience as an officer at
the head of the public school system,
should succeed himself in office, the
progress of our public schools to high
err plane of responsibility will not be in
terrupted nor will the progress in effl-
cheney Of work, which has been particu-
larly noticeable for the past four years
be checked.
1t would be a serious set back to the
public schools of North Carolina for so
great a change to be effected now as
that of changing superintendent, how
ever competent the new incumbent might
be.
The interests Of the children of North
Carolina demand that Mr.. Mebane be re-
elected to his present position, and GER
lainly the interests OF our youth are
paramount to the interests of few
Democratic politicians, who want the
office either for themselves or their
friends.
Mr.. Mebane's past party Affiliations
have nothing to do with his capacity for
performing the functions of the office of
Superintendent Of Public Instructions
He is the man that the public schools
need. 1t is time for the public school to
be protected; and no longer to be used
as cats paw in politics.
Shall such practice cease? If The
Democratic party is true to the people,
such measures will.

A STRONG ARTICLE.

The last issue of the Progressive
Farmer contains a strong two column
article maintaining that 'the Consti-
tutional Amendment must stand or
fall as a WHOLE The editor answers
and answers well-the arguments OF
those Senators who have maintained
the opposite view. He shows that
their arguments 'are based upon the
mistaken assumption that the sole
purpose of the people, should they
adopt the amendment, would be the
establishment of an educational quail
ification, whereas, their purpose
would be to restrict the right of suf-
frage to the educated and to such
il1iterates as they consider by long
training, ETC., qualified to vote intelli-
gently TO make the amendment. re-
quire simple educational qualitica-
ton and exclude these illiterates
would defeat their general purpose. :"
The editor quotes from Judge
Cooley at length in confirmation of
the position taken and adds:
1.-THE view of the case which we
have maintained in this article finds
confirmation in numerous court re-
ports and legal arguments. From the
mass of testimony that might be cit
ed to sustain our contention, we select
but one, that of very recent case
parallel with that we are considering.
I'LL III, he, Ia n
uaIy 2Sth, 1900, to be exact, Judge
Kohlsaat, of the United States Cir
cult court, in considering the Illinois
antitrust law, the ninth section of
which exempted certain class from
the provisions of the remaining sec
tons, Gust as Section of the amend
ment eXempts class OF voters,
whites, from the provisions of Sec
tions ~ handed down this opinion:
est is urged that, granting the I'M
constitutionality of said ninth clause.
vet it may be declared void without
affecting the validity of the remaining
clauses of said act. If this were so,
then by declaring said clause void, the
courts would make the act binding
upon those classes of persons within
the State which the legislature had
specially exempted from it's provi-
sions. This would be judicial legisla-
ton of the most fragrant character.
IN my opinion the said clause taints
the whole act and renders it all
void
This ease. as anyone can see. IN
wolves the same identical principle as
that that the court would have before
it in considering the interdependencv
of sections of the proposed amend
ment. And the courts would be com
PEELED to declare. as in the case just
cited, that by declaring the grand
father clause void, the courts would
make the act binding upon those
classes of persons within the State
which : the Legislature has specially
exempted from it's provisions And
this, in the language of the court it
self, would be judicial legislation of
the most fragrant character" In view
of this strong and unmistakable lam
guage of the courts and the views
of Judge Cooley, we cannot doubt
that if the grandfather clause of the
proposede amendment is unconstitu-
tional, the whole amendment will be
declared void and of effect.
