The registration books opened

they close. Did you 60 and register
to-day? II not, 60 to the polling
places In your precinct next satur-
day where the Law requires the
registrar to be all day, and register
before you leave.
The Charlotte Observer In COM
menting upon the importance Of
Democrats registering, says:
1.-THE matter of registration this
| ear 10 an important one, with the
details OF which every voter needs
to familiarizs himself. The regis
tration will be entirely new. The
books will be open on next Thurs
day, the 18th instant, and remain
open twenty days and no longer.
Any one who does not register
within that time will not be enti-
tied to vote. Remember this"
We wish to endorse and empha-
size what the Observer says about
the registration. The Observer
might also have told it's r. aders
that the Democratic legislature had
made it as difficult as possible for
man to register and register Cor
rectly. That each voter lie required
to answer at least thirteen ques.
tions and answer every one cor
rectly and as many more questions
as the registrar sees fit to ask him
and that any man who does moi
} get these answers correctly Is La

THE SECRET GIVEN AWAY.

The Charlotte Observer, one Of
the leading Democratic papers, in
it's issue of June 6, 1900, edi ORALLY
says:
"The struggle Of the white peo-
pie ct North Carolina to rid them
selves of the danger Of the rule of
negroes and the LOWER CLASSES OF
WHITES Is being watched with in
terest outside of the State"
The contention has always been
made that the purpose of the
amendment was not only to get rid
of the illiterate negro, but the
honest, Industrious white man who
may not be able to read and write,
and now the Charlotte Observer
"lets the est out of the wallet"
1t is intended to remove the
dover classes of whites" forever
from politics, thus transferring all
political power from the plain, hon.
est masses in the country to the
town ringster, who would perpetu.
ate his rule by the use of the edu-
Gated town "niager."
The honest farmers now have the
right to vote, and they will not put
in danger their greatest and most
sacred privilege.
The amendment was offered with
the deliberate purpose of removing
the "lower classes of Whites" so
that the aristocracy of the State
may rule for all time. The ''grr at
plain people" whom Abe Lincoln
and Zeb Vance loved, honored,
trusted and defended know Their
rights and will dare to maintain
them They will have no slavery
in North Carolina in this year of
grace"

WHICH Is THE MOST CORRUPT AND
DANGEROUS.


The Wilmington Messer ger boasts
OF the fact that the De- mocratic ma
chine has bought the negro vote In
the past, and can continue to do it;
but says that the negro should be dis
franchised, because he is vensl and
corrupt enough to sell his vote. THE
CAUCASIAN would remind the Mes
enger of the fat hat the man who
buys vote is just as corrupt aud
guilty as the man who Sc Is bis vote,
When We disfranchise the man who
sells his vote, We should, at the same
time disfranchise the man who buys
his vote, and, besides, the interests
OF the State are not safe in the hands

buying votes and stuff1og ballot box

white people are afraid OF the edo

sons to vote on coming of age, and
they fear lest they may not be able
to sufficiently educate these sons
to attain to the constitutional re-
quirements.

A letter received from Chatham
county states that Mr.. Simms, ono
Of the Democratic candidates for
the legislature In Wake county, In
q recent speech At Fearington's
Mills, Chatham county, used such
incendiary utterances as the fol-
lowing:
I'VE intend to CO rry this election
il We have to make the State a
graveyard to do 1t. We are going
to carry this Stale IL We have to do
1t with blood and fire"
1t is hard to believe that any
man who is not either a common
tough and thug or else crazy enough
to be confined in the lunatic asy-
lum. would be guilty Of using such
language In a public speech or any
where else. We are the more as
tOnished at the uttersnces of this
young man in as much as he is the
candidate Of great party In this
State for one Of its lawmakers, and
In as much as he is the protege and
colleague and pupil of the great
Sunday-school worker, Mr. n. B.
Brough on, of Raleigh, and, further
for the reason that this young IN N
Is the SON of the Rev. Mr.. Simms,
the former pastor Of the Tabernacle
Church in Raleigh in which church
Mr.. Brougton is one of the chief
officers Can 1t be possible that
this young man was expressing Mr..
BroughtOn's sentiments, which be
is afraid to express himselff Can
1t be possible that his father, clot b.
ed In the robes OF the church can
countenauce, endorse or tolerate
such utterances from his SON? And
finally, can 1t be possible that the
good, lsw-abidlng people Of Wake
county will condOne and tolerate
such wild, lawless and incendiary
talk and disgrace themselves and
the good name the State by elect
ing such men to the Legislature.

Tom Glenn In the North.

Hon. Thos. L. Glenn of Mont
pelier, fusion candidate for repre-
sentative III congress from this state,
spoke to fair sized audience at the
court house Tuesday evening. Mr..
Glenn was i'll and had to cut his adj
dress short on that account, but
what he did say was we'll recei3 ed
and heartily applauded by his hear
ers. His remarks were devoted to
an arrangement of the republican
party for its financial policy, past
and present, and the scoring the g.
o. p. received at his hands for Jug
Cling with the monetary system of
the country in the interest of the
bankers and money trusts was rich
ly deserved and met with the hearty
approval of his auditors. He also
gave few remarks on the imperial
istic policy of the republican party
and devoted small portion of his
time in showing up the class legis-
lation of the party of trusts and
militarism. The speakers remarks
were heartily applauded throughout
and it is to be regretted that illness
prevented the honorable gentleman
from addressing at more length an
audience which was most highly
pleased with his utterances and felt
greatly disappointed, to say the
least, in his inability to prolong his
