but it is still hoped that they may
relent before or by the date of the
convention. But the east does say:
"We will give that section up their

sioner inasmuch as we have two of
them ourselves" Then Buncombe
humbly asks that much. All her dele
gates are unanimous for Campbell, as
was the convention which appointed

very large ajority of the delegates
from the other counties west Of the
Ridge are also for him.
1t is not my purpose to eulogize
him. He is well known to his home
people of course, but he is also well
known to the people of the State. His
prominence in the Legislature has
made him prominent in the State.
His natural ability and business ca
pacity and experience eminently fit
him for the position. He has lived
and been prominent in Buncombe. his
home, for nearly thirty years. A man
is best known at his home. His coun-
ty asks him. Very, very many other
counties from his section and else
where in the State join in this re-
quest.
Will it be granted? 1t is the fair
thing to do.

For Corporation Commissioner.

To the Editor: 1t has been often re-
marked that North Carolina presents
great diversity in climatic soil and
products. This is equally true as 10
the people and politics. IN the east
the negroes have large numerical ma
iority. In the west the whites as
largely predominant. At the same time
the east polls more white votes than
the west. In the west there can be no
negro rule The east has known
it to its sorrow and the sorrow of
every white man whose veins are red
with white blood.
This state of affairs in the east has
contributed largely to the unification
of the white man in both east ana
west in the Democratic party, and it
has made them rally in 1876 and again
in 1898 to the redemption of the State
from Republican government and the
east from negro rule.
1t was to relieve the east from local
negro supremacy that induced the
western members of the Legislature
to adopt the old system of county
to, notwithstanding in many of the
western counties it was detrimental
to the local Democracy-the same
reason not obtaining in the west many
argued that the same should not APP
ply.

Amendment to the Constitution, the

Ought not these considerations to
have weight in the approaching con-
vention of April II? The people of the
west ought not TO say that they VIII

let the people of the east breathe
their salt sea air and live among the
negroes as they can. They have not
said it in the past-they do not say 1T
now. And while they do say and act
otherwise, it would seem just and far
that the people Of the east i'll the con-
yention should not say we have "a
large numerical majority here, and we
intend to take the lions share of all
the offices and posts of honor.
If the east should say and do that
the west would still be Democratic,
but they will feel that the east ought

HE pTTIABLE CONDITION OF THE
NEGRO-A CATS PAW.

| pity the negro from the bottom OF
my heart. He has been made cat
paw and a tool by those who sought
their own selfish purposes, and not the
negro's good. There was never
llindier relation than that which eN-
listed between the old negro and his
master. 1t amounted to affection.
Politics ended it all at one stroke.
Instead of affection it engendered
hatred. The Republican politicians
fearing that the old master would
have undue influence made it his bust
ness to foment strife and bring about
mutual distrust-es especially if politics.
The negro goes to the white Demo
crat for aid and advice every day IN
the wear except election day-on that
day YOU can't get in forty feet of him.
His case is pitiable indeed. IT he had
refused Republican advice and divid-
ed his vote he would have ceased to
be a menace and would possibly have
avoided the race antpathy. At least
he would have avoided political anti
pathy which joined to race antagon-
ism is one of the strongest repellent
forces in the world. The negro can
never rule the glo-SaXOn-aH the
laws and all the bayonets in the world
can't secure for him this power. But
for the teachings of such men as
Pritchard and Butler he would have
learned this long ago. as he has in
other States and would have ceased
to strive to do it,

Beauties of the Clothes Moth.

From the Church Monthly.
Every housewife knows only too we'll of
what extraordinary michief these little in
seCts are capable. and how, even in a few
weeks time, clothes which have been care
lessly put away will be perforated In
score of places by the hungry caterpilars,
whose tracks are plainly visible running
from hole to hole. But no creature is with
out its good points, and even the trouble
some clothes moths have something TO be
said in their favor. They are really very
beautiful little insects, for instance in spite
OF their dingy colOring. This sounds like
a contradiction, but it is not in reality,
for somber though their hGes may be, one
has only to place clothes moth under the
microscope in order to perceive its beauty.
Only short time before these lines were
written l caught one CT these moths in my
study, and, wishing to examine it, damped
strip of glass and pressed the moistened
part gently against the surface of its wings.
When looked at this through the micro
scope the sight was really a most exquisite
one. In the center of the little gray patch
We're thousands upon thousands of tiny
scales, each shaped like a battledore de-
prived Of its handle, and marked by five
delicate ridges running along it from base
70 tip, While all around were thousands
more of much longer and more slender
scales, each Of which split up near the ex-
tremity into three hairike plumes. And
over all these scales as the light shifted.
rainbow tintS were playing. Beauty by it
self. however, would be but small recon-
mendation, and the clothes moth can lay
claim to usefulness as well. In our houses
IL Is nuisance; out of doors it has a work
TO do and does it. What becomes of the
hair which is woven into SO many birds
nests when the nests themselves are de-
serted? The clothes moths destroy 1t. and
the nests, which otherwise would cumber
the branches of the trees for years are en-
ahled 10 fall TO pieces. What becomes of
the Wool which sheep rub off upon thorns
and bushes? The clothes moths destroy it.
nat becomes of the plumage of dead birds
and the hair on the skin of dead animals ?
The clothes moths destroy them. These
little creatures have their uses after all.
They belong to the great army of natures

dead and useless matter and II Is onIv
