into the National campaign Is
it necessary in order to render
permanent the fruits of the
glorious conquest so recently
achieved7 Is it just to the me-
gro3 Is it honorable to the

any of the great interests of the

tons bearing upon the race issue
are being discussed by our con-
temporaries. They have Ell
tered into the discussion with
the spirit and vigor characteris>
tic of the North Carolina press
Some, however, | am sorry to
say, impugn the motives of thei:
fellows and deal largely in acri ;
monious utterances. This should
not be. Reason, comm nonsense
and proper regard for the hon
est convictions of others should
have the right of way. If the
question is put thus Should
the great Democratic party III
North Carolina inject the race
issue into the National CAM >
paign this fall2 We unhesita'
iugly and emphatically answer
No! Not, however, because ia
Justice would be dealt out to the
negro, not because any right
would be trampled under foot,
not because the honor of the
white man would be at all com
promised, nor because it would
be violative OF any Democratic
pledges. For the Injection of
the lace question by the Demo-
cratic party WOULD DO NONE OF
THESE THINGS.
All pledges made by Aycock,
by his colleagues or by other
Democratic speakers were based
upon the EFFECTIVE OPERATION
of the Amendment. This, Of
course, cannot take place until
1902. The most densely ignor>
ant and hopeless1y stupid know
this. Any attempt, therefore,
to make the pledges apply to a
period prior to that uamed above
is the baldest sophistry. 1t does
NOT conpict the Democratic par
ty of a cowardly violation of
promises. 1t does convict the
man who attempts to make it
appear so, of ignorance or insln-
cerity.
We oppose the introduction
of the race issue because we
deem it unnecessary. We can
see no good it would accomplish.
We can see no great interest
that would be conserved there's
by. We see much harm it would
do. It would keep alive race
prejudices. It would engender
passion. It would k;ndle anew
the fires of hate. It would breed
vituperation and abuse. It
would completely throttle all
missionary efforts among the
negroes. 1t would disturb
peaceful relations existing
among neighbors. 1t would
distract the public mind from
the due consideration of vital
aud far reaching National ques |
tons. It is the part of wisdom,
therefore, to leave it alone. We
do not believe that the great
Democratic host intend to make
use of it. Their sober, second
thought will, we are sure, pro-
nounce against any such cou1se.
Upon the other hand if the
Republican party forces the is
ste we should meet it squarely
and firmly. If it attempts to
foist upon North Carolinians
that ignorant and irresponsible
Class which the Amendment
seeks to eliminate from the body
polite then the Republican par
ty and not the Democratic partyi

Heat Victims.

While There was more air astir
throughout this section Saturday, the
inhabitants felt keenly the effects of
the continued heat, and the tempera-
ture stood for long time at 100 in the
Shade. Henry Wilkinson, publisher
of the Press, was one of the heat vic
tlms, and was for time in "a serious
condition, but has since rallied. Mr..
Wilkinson was overcome by the heat
in his office.
Charles Stayton, a section hand on
the Pennsylvania railroad, was also
overcome by heat, and had to be taken
Ito his home in Wyoming. Medical as
sisitance was called, and the attending
physician said it would be several days
before he could be out on account of
the intense heat. Farm laborers had
to leave the fields and seek the shade.

A Musicale at Rehoboth,

A delightful musicale was given at
the Hotel Henlopen, Rehoboth, Mon
day might by Professor Richard Wei
ton and his talented pupil, Miss Louise
Mitchell of Wellsboro, Pa.
Liszt, Mendelssohn, Schumann and
other classic composers were repre-
sented on THE program.
Mr.. Welton's singing and playing
again demonstrated what was already
we'll known in Delaware, THAT he is
a musician of the highest rank. His
skill as teacher was shown by the
piano playing of Miss Mitchell. The
Academy is fortunate in having such
an instructor.
Miss Mitchell was very favorably
received. Her music was exquisit be-
cause replete with feeling and express
sion. Particularly noteworthy was
her performance lof the Andante and
Finale of Mendelssohn's G Minor
Concerto. In soft passages there was
pure loveliness without exaggerated
sentiment. In brilliant passages there
was wonderful force and spirit. Not
the least of her great natural gifts is
a lovely personality.
Miss Mitchell is now studying music,
piano playing and composition, about
hours daily. Hers will likely be a
brilliant future.

Why So Many Strangers?

The appearance of a large number
of negroes who have come to the
county from the South has caused
some CONSERVATION among the Demo-
Gratis of this section, ,whoclaim that the
men have come to be registered in
various towns of the county for the
purpose of swelling Republican vote.
This lis emphatically denied by prom
inent Republican officials, who say
that they are merely a part of the
surplus tramp element, who come here
during "a heavy fruit season and are
cared for by the women of the settle

Anxiety for His Appearance.

Chicago, Ill. Aug. 11.-W. J. Bryan's
visit to Chicago has practically re-
suited in an understanding that he
will travel almost as much during the
present campaign aus he did i'm 1896.
The first inclination ON mis- part was
to avoid the making of many speeches
this year; ;but there has been such gem
eral pressure THAT lit is understood that
he is now Inclined to yield and to visit
many parts of the country.
No positive promises for participa-
tion in THE campaign have been made
for other States than New York; but
ltIhe probabilities are that he will go
from THAT State ito Maryland and Della
ware, where There appears to be great
anxiety for his appearance.
After THAT time he is likely to make
a quite general tour of the North Mis-
sissippi Valley States, including Ohio
Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, etc. In
New York it is expected that Mr.
Bryan will speak only in the largest
