have confidence in him. They esteem
him.
= He is forcible and captivating speak
err. He is man of opinions, and his
opinions are such that they find an echo
in the breasts of the people.
A man Of means, he Is prudent and
conservative. Indeed, his sagacity and
wisdom are illustrated by the fact that
being farmer he has managed to in
crease his fortune through agricultural
pursuits.
Col Cunningham is strong before the
people, and in the counties where he Is
personally known the people are devoted
to him. They nominate him In his
county by reclamation, and at the polls
they give him rousing majorities. In the
legislature, he was a leader in thought
and i'm action, and the party had no
son more worthy Of popular confidence.
AS the chairman Of the Board OF Ag-
rculture he has been charged with very
important public duties and he has per-
formed them admirably. In that station
his Judgment, his decisions Of character,
his frmness and his fine intelligence have
had scope. and he has performed its du-
ties with credit to himself anu to the Dem
ocratic party.
He will receive a strong support for
the nomination Of Governor, and should
the nomination be awarded him by the
convention, he will prove to be a strong
candidate before the people, and when
elected he will prove to be hit, honest,
conscientious and an admirable Governor
of the State Patriotic, intelligent, sa-
gacious with fine impulses, with a
pure mind and heart, he will worthily
fiji the office which has been adorned by
many Of the most gifted SONS Of North
Carolina. e j. w. NOELL,

THE SOUTH.
New York Commercial.

New 10TH SpuintTCld1.
An Ex-Governor of West Virginia,
speaking recently to a. Northern audi
ence, earnestly pleaded for fairer treat
ment of the South. He pointed out the
progress which his section of the coun-
try is making, and showed beyond doubt
that il had suffered more or less on ac-
count of unfounded prejudice. Among
other things he Said I'VE ask III re-
turn for devotion to- your Interests a
more liberia! treatment of the South III
the expenditure Of public money. In
grudgingy, We have voted TO deepen
your harbors and widen Your rivers. The
deepening OF our Southern harbOrs and
rivers that our products may reach your
furnaces and mills at n minimum price
means your mderselling the world"
The North should not only be falrer
with the South commercially, but polit-
ically. That section should be judged
with conservatism and common sense.
The cotton grower is beginning to learn
that protective tariff does not mean
merely the enlargement of opportunity
for Northern mill men. but that its BEN
efits ramify to all parts of the country.
For many years he has shown diSpO-
sition to at least consider, If not accept,
some of the economic theories of his
Northern brethren. But his ideas OF
social intercourse and radical distinc-
tons have not changed since ante
bellum times. And they never will
change If the North could come TO
realize this and drop the subject both
sections could work together in har-
mony for the commercial aggrandise-
ment of the whole nation.

To the Editor: The Democratic party
in selecting standard-bearer to lead the
ticket should be prudent and wise in
making their choice. 1t is a most imr
portant crisis in the life OF our party.
The chief interest centers in the Consti-
tutional amendment, for on the adoption
of the Constitutional amendment depends
largely the success Of the party in the
future, as we'll as the best interest Of
the State and people.
If the amendment is defeated it is plain
that the ticket will ne defeated and that
the party will receive n blow from which
it will take years for us to. recover.
Therefore the nomination for Governor
as well as all other nominations should
be made with view to strengthening
the party in this election and to obtain
votes for the ticket and for the amend
ment.
Personal preferences should be subor-
dinated to party exigencies. Good, pure
honest, competent men abound, and
the question of first Importance is avail
ability. Among all the gentlemen men-
toned In connection with the nomination,
none excel Col John s. Cunningham in
ability to gather in votes for the ticket
and for the amendment.
He will roll up more votes than any
other candidate for the Constitutional
amendment. He will do more to convert
our peril into safety. His candidacy Will
appeal to the farming class and business
men OF the State. 1t will stir the town
ships and the neighborhoods. 1t viii

Democratic workers.

B. r. Lacy For State Treasur er.

To the Editor: Every word written IN
the Rocky Mount Motor ON the 18th inst.
by a working man, +. A. Hatch, In
bringing out the name of B. X. Lacy
for State Treasurer, Is hereby indorsed.
When Donald w. Balm was elected
Treasurer he spent a might In wondering
what ne should do about giving the
bond Of one hundred thousand dollars;
the next day when he went to his office
he found note ON his table running
thus: Dear Mr. Balm, when you get
ready to give your bond let me know; L
will go half million dollars on it."
Mr.. Lacy holds the confidence Of the
people in such n large measure that he
can give one thousand good men on
his bond when elected and thereby NIL
the place made vacant by the death OF
the lamented Balm. Mr.. Lacy is an ideal
eitizen; he is honest to the cent; he Is
truthful to the letter. AS business
man he does not allow business to ac-
cumulate on his hands and go out or
date. The time has arrived in the Dem
ocratic party when none but capable men
are wanted to fill office.
1t is vouched for that none in our
ranks are more capable or more worthy
than B. r. Lacy and none can give more
general satisfaction to rich and poor
alike.
The full measure Of Mr.. Balm viii be
filled when his mantle falls upon the
person of Mr.. Lacy and that means
enough for any mortal man.
1t is idle talk to eulogize the graces
Of man that every one knows so well;
the thing to do is to nominate and then
elect him. s. NJ. STONE.

which has put on his side the people OF
all the States through which the Sea-
board Air Line passes, made yesterday
half holiday in memory Of the birth
day of Robert Z. Lee 1t was graceful
act on the part Of the distinguished
and big-hearted New Englander. Not a
few have remarked in Norfolk during
the trying ordeals through which the Sea-
board Air Line has passed of recent
weeks, that the main force toward it's
successive legeal victories has lain in
the fact, that through such sympathetic
touch with the people at all points, the
system has come up fortified in the faith
and good will of the common folk Of at
least FIVE Southern States.

Concord Times.
To give few figures: Tn the course
of year The Times printing office
uses about $3.50 worth of all kinds Of
paper. Calculating that on an average
the price Of this paper is advanced 40
per cent. this means that our expenses
are increased 5000 and our profits re-
duced that much, and that this amount
goes 10 fill the already overlooking
Golfers of the newspaper trust. II may
be added that the prices of type, inks
and other things needed in a printing
office have also been increased, but the
increase has not been so great as that
on paper.

NEGRO SUFFRAGE A CRIME AND
FOLLY WHEN ESTABLISHED
A SIN AND DISGRACE IF
LONGER ENDURED.

The greatest folly AMI crime IN our la
tional history was the establishment Of
negro suffrage Immediately after the war.
Not single good thing has come of it,
but only evil. Everybody now admits
that it was an awful mistake. Northern
writer's and speakers, even men of the
old black Republican, Abolition crowd,
now say that it would have been much
better TO apply an educational or prop
erty qualification before letting the negro
vote. Horace Greeley, Wendell Phillips,
VIM. Lloyd Garrison, George VIM. Cur
tbs and other Northern friends OF the he
gro saw before they died that wrong
had been done the negro in giving him the
ballot before he was prepared for it. The
best friends of the negro in the South
saw at the time of his enfranchisement
and see now even more clearly the folly
of giving him the ballot. The wiSest ne
gro in America, the one that has done
and is doing most for his race, more
than all other negro leaders combined
Booker L. Washington, says that an edu-
cational or property qualification is ne
cessary to protect the ballot against the
ignorant negro. We doubt If there can
be found in the whole South one single
man of mature years and good intelli-
gence who, if sworn in court, could say
ON oath that it was a wise or a good
thing to put negro suffrage upon the
South, as it was put thirty years, at the
= point of Federal bayonets. We doubt if
Pritchard, or Butler, or Pearson would
maintain this even on the stump.
1t is universally agreed that negro suf-
frage was a, folly and crime when CT
tablished. Has it become less so? Has
it not grown worse each succeeding year?
Is it not responsible for the growing i'll
feeling between the races, for crimes,
mobs. lynchings and riots? Has it not al
most destroyed the Union? Has it not
TEMPTED the North to overthrow tho
guarantees of civil liberty in trying to
force negro equality upon the South!
Has it not produced force bills" Fed
eral Supervisors election returning
boards Stuffed ballot boxes" Federal
prosecutions riots and ''revolutions?'
Are these things to continue forever!
And for what, pray? To keep up the fol-
" that everybody admits should never
have began. Such would be worse than
idiotic. it would be criminal. Such a
course would be an eternal infamy and
disgrace to the Southern people. They
will not pursue it. They will undo the
folly that has been done. They will never
voluntarily endure what they originally
believed to be, and subsequently have
proved to be, great folly, injustice and
crime, threatening not only their political
liberties but their lives and property and
the peace and security of their wives and
HELPLESS little children. Negro suffrage
was crime forcibly put upon the South
IN the hour of her defeat by fanatlcal
and furious foe. The South is now IN
the Union is again ON her feet, is renew
cd in strength and power, and it would
be a most disgraceful infamy for her
longer to endure this uncomfortable hu-
initiation, shame and peril. She will not
do it.

ANOTHER OBSTACLE OVERCOME

The prompt decision of Judge Spears,
in the case brought before him to at
tempt TO prevent carrying out the con-
solidation plans of the Seaboard Air
Line. will be hailed with delight all over
the South. The tendency To consolida-
ton in the North and the consequent
destruction Of all competition is one
that would be far more disastrous to the
South than it is in the North. On the
other side Of the Potomac. the country
is honey -combed with railroads, built by
systems competing for traffic. The con-
solidation tends to less railroad building.
In the South there are large sections of
territory needing railroad facilities This
is true of portions of Central North Car
olna, as Well as the Western and por-
tons of Eastern North Carolina.
The consolidation Of the three great
systems that traverse this State would
be nothing less than a calamity. The
independence of the Seaboard is the only
hope of railroad competition and railroad
extension. r. it is a strong and powerful
rival of the other systems, all will build
branch lines and new roads, thus devel
oping the State and bringing its
resources TO view. If railroad trust
should have the State in its clutches, the
earnings would all go 10 its New York
or English owners and the rivalry in de-
veloping the riches Of the State would
be wanting.
1t is to be hoped that no other OBJ
stacle win be placed in the way of Mr..
John Shelton Williams and his asso-
ciates in carrying out their plans
