LETTER TO MR.. CLAUDE KITCHIN,
SCOTLAND NECK, N. C.

Dear Sir Truth will prevail many
people doubt the statements made in
behalf of L. & M. Paint, but when
they see how it covers and wears, they
are prevailed upon to buy it. and a.
bout 10 years afterward, come back
for more. The old paint is still in good
condition; but they want to change
the colors on the house. Thin paints
are not in favor because they are
linseed oil, and nobody wants to pay
a paint price for lot of linseed oil.
White Lead always chalks and admits
moisture to the wood. L. & NJ. Paint
is non. chalkable, and being semi-paste
requires the addition of large guam
THY of linseed oil, which reduces it's
actual cost to the minimum.
Messrs. E. T. Whitehead & Co. will
be pleased to quote you lowest prices ),
and furnish color cards.
Yours sincerely,
New York. LoNGMAN & MARTINEZ.

ATEARNEST WORK.

Oh airman F. M. Simmons has re
Gently said that Democrats are at worl
all over the State as they have never
worked before. This is a gratifying
state ent to the friends of the amend
ment. Not in the history of North
Carolina has there been more impor
tant issue before the people.
The State passed through the throes
of a revolution, as it were, forty years
ago. The volcano of disruption, in the
form of secession, burst at last and
the people of North Carolina, together
with every state in the Union, north
and south, endured for four years the
agonies known only to those whose
women and children suffer and grieve
at home while the strong men bleed
and die OH the field of battle.
The result of that awful quaternian
of years of strife no one here or esle-
where stops to question now.
But the people of IT,, South can not
help remembering, aud ought not if
they could, the trying days of recon-
struction which followed the end OF the
war.
The present civil contest-it is net
or ought not to be political-is new
feature of the result of the war. The
slaves of the South were set free and
there are few, if any, who would have
it otherwise now as regards their free
dom alone but the crime of the cen
fury was the placing of the ballot in
the hands Of race OF people who were
90 utterly incompetent to use it proper
~ or intelligently. The experiment
has failed in the face of the fact that
the South has spent millions for the
education of these slaves and their de-
ecendants And now after nearly two
score years the conservative people
of North Carolina, the birthplace of the
Declaration OF our American Inde-
pendencehaye decided toIrid themselves
of this menace to our happiness and
prosperity.
The desire on the part of the colored
race to hold Office over the white peo-
pie is Just IS strong now as twas at first
it is even stronger. For there was set
before them years ago some dream of
success as race, and In nine hum
dred and::ninety-nine cases out OF thou
sand the colored mans idea of success
is to hold Office.
: The experiment having utterly fail
ed, the purpose of the present amend
ment is to make it possible for the peo-
pie OF North Carolina to have govern
ment free aud apart from the influence
Of ignorant negro voters.
The text OF the amendment is too
clear to leave any doubt in the minds
of any about DISTINGUISHING white
men. No white man in North Carroll
ma can possibly be disfranchised by it.
Whoever argues to white men that
the amendment will disfranchise
them is either ignorant himself or vii
fully endeavors to mislcad those WHO
will listen to him. It is, therefore
the first duty OF every white man, every
true lover of his race and every we'll
wisher and advocate OF good govern
ment to support the amendment.

Dangers OF Night Parties.

II abominate night parties for chill
dren," said prominent city physi-
clan recently, while speaking of the
care of the young, "and believe every
physician does. 1t is not so much the
exposure and the eating in the night,
but the breaking into the sleep habit.
Equally bad is it for children to study
in the evening. 1t gorges their brains
with blood, and if they sleep they
dream. l had a little patient of IL
years who was wasted and nervous,
and whose dreams were filed with
problems. 1t was a marvel and a pride
to his parents that the youngster
worked out hard problems in his sleep
such as he failed to master when
awake. But he came near his final
problem. l locked up his books at A
o'clock. He must not touch one after
supper; he must play and romp and
then go to bed. He is now robust.
You cannot emphasize too strongly the
mischief of children's night study"

Three Kind. O, British Colonies.

Great Britain has three general
classes of colonies. Those controlled
entirely by the home government are
crown colonies, and their funds and
laws are managed by the administra-
ton, which does as 1t pleases. A sec
ond class has what is called represen-
tative government. In such the crown
retains the veto power and controls
the public officers. Those of the third
class have responsible government. In
such colonies the crown has no con-
troll over any public officer except that
it appoints the governor and retains
its veto on legislation.
