THE AMENDMENT DOES NOT SETTLE IT.

IL Has Not Done so in Louisiana and IT
VIII Not Do so In North Carolina
In speaking OF the race riot in
View Orleans where innocent ne.
yroes were shot In the backs by a
rang OF hoodlums. The Charlotte
observer says editorially:
HThe New Orleans story, detailed
IN our dispatches this morning. is q
disgrace to civilization"
In reply, ". say they have the
amendments and the entire control
81 the government by the Demo
cratic party. We thought the o.
server said that would settle the
race trouble, stop blood shed and
mako gentlemen out OF the hood
lums. But we see 1t has not done
It In Louisiana, and it will not here.
tt proves that what the Observer
md others have been claiming for
It fs lies, which is not only q dis.
race to civilization, but an unpar.
donable burlesque on Christianity
As 1t Is in Louisiana, SO will it be
10 this State. Nothing but sepa
ration Of the races will settle the
race question.

Further Evidence That the Pests Spread
the Disease.
The report OF the Board OF Army
Medical officers that yellow fever II
spread by infested mosquitoes Is
strongly substaDtiated by the expert.
ence Of southern Louisiana, and IL II
probable that memorandum Will be
prepared by the authorities Ia the
Piney Woods districts OF the State and
forwarded 10 the board. II Is asserted
by those authorities that the disease
never spreads beyond the sections
where mosquitoes prevail
At Coyington, La, only thirty miles
from New Orleans. there have been
cases OF yellow fever Of refugees from
the coast towns; but the disease has
never spread from them to the inhabi-
tants Of the town. In past epldcmics
the Piney WOofs OF Louisiana and
Mississippi, only few miles from the
coast, were considered a safe refuge
from the fever, and il was attributed
10 the sanitary influence OF the pines,
without any good reason therefore.
The fact that the mosquito Is unknown
In those woods, save in "A few bottoms
along the stream, would give 4 better
explanation OF the absence OF the dis
ease or rather OF its failure TO spread.
even when persons aready infected
with the disease seek refuge among
the pines. The report of the Board
OF Army Medical Men explains what
has heretofore been a mystery.
The authorities IN the Piney Woods
towns also call attention 10 the re-
markablc fact that while Ice will not
kill the germ, as Is shown by the re-
appearance of the disease after tLe
bitter winter of 1897, IL disappears
after light frost. This can easily be
explained by the mosquito theory,
for the liGhtcst frost kill of the mos
qultocs. and the disease disappears
with them.
