We nave several interesting COM
munications which We will publish
as soon as space permits.

The proposition to prohibit ne
groes from holding Office is not only
constitutional, as set forth in the
debates in Congress, but endangers
no white mans right to vote, either
now or at any time in the future.
Furthermore, it will permanently
remove the race problem from pol
tiles, as no educated negro could
hold Office, nor could any negro be
hired to run for Office in close coun-
ties or districts. There would Ger.
tainly be no danger Of the so-called
"negro domination" with this SUBJ
stitutc for the Democratic amend
ment in operation. The more this
solution is discussed, the greater
favor 1t will receive from the peo-
pie.

MR.. AYCOcK AS A PLAGIARIsT.

We make the following extract
from the speech of Mr.. Aycock in
accepting the nomination for Gov
ernor:
"Has the white man such superior
knowledgei Will any man deny it'll
Will Senator Pritchard deny it, Hear
what he said in his recent speech in
the Senate. "From the earliest dawn
of civilization to this good hour the
great white race has given to the
world its history, its philosophy, its
government and its christianity, and
1t will continue to do So"
In his speech at Asheville, as re-
ported in the News and Observer of
oath ult., by its representative, Fred
L. Merrett, one of the "apt things
said at Asheville and applauded to
the echo" and not credited to Sena-
tor Pritchard, as it should have been,
but appropriated as original, by Mr..
Aycock, Is the following:
"From the earliest dawn of civil
cation to this good hour the great
white race has given to the world
its history, its PHILOSOPHY, its gov
eminent and its christianity, and ii
will continue to do so.'
This seems to be q very clear case
of plagiarism on the part Of Mr..
Aycock.

ed, in not endorsing the Democratic

himself as highly pleased with the
action of theConvention in instruct.

gar that he would rob him IL he got
a chance were grossly lying when
they said he had any such design.
Finally, after much begging and
tears, the beggar opens his door,
and the rich man walks In. And,
as soon as an opportunity occurs,
he lays hold Of the beggar, takes
his purse, and, as he goes away, he
tells the beggar that beggars are
not fit to have money anyway
that only decent and able and in
telligent persons are fit to have
money.
II any one should do thing like
this to a blind beggar in North Car
DINA, he would be lynched for his
behavior. But the robbery OF ont
poor person Of a few dollars, in vic
lation Of solemn promise not to d.
so, would be nothing to the wicked
ness sought to be done to ignoran
voters in North Carolina to-day by
party that promised most solemn
ly that 1t would not do this wick
edness lift got into power. W
say again, that the wicked
ness of the amendment-wicl
ed as 1t isis as nothing i
comparison with the wicked
ness of the party that pleade
for the confidence of the ignorar
voters Of this State and pledged i
self not to harm them, ii they woul
help them back to power, only
"a break it's pledges and rob them

there is nothing else like 1t to
found anywhere, in any time.

AN EXPLANATION WANTED.

Dan. Gillian, of Tarboro, spoke
recently at Goldsboro, and in the
course of his remarks he is report |
ed by the News and Observer as
saying: Congressman White, the
star of the Republican party, has
invited the race issue, we have ac-I
cepted it,"
Will Mr.. Gillian, who was Ch'mn
of the Democratic Committee of
Edgecombe at the last election, has
ten to tell the people how it hap
pened that Edgecembe cast only
$50 majority against White, vet the
entire Democratic ticket received
! $500 majority in that county?
| Was White in a deal with Gill;
am or any Of the Democratic lead
ers of that county, that the major
ity against him should have been
80 small7 How did White manage
to carry Halifax by 1000 majority
while the Democratic ticket of that
county was carried by 1000 major
ity. Was there any deal with White
in these counties7 The "nigger"
calamity howlers need to explain
how it was that with the fight
against the negro they allowed
White to be re elected. A full &C
count of this transaction would be
very interesting reading now. Will
they explain?.
Gillian is further quoted as say.
ing that Edgecombe will double
the majority given the Democratic
party last election if Wayne will dc
likewise. Let's examine this state.
ment somewhat critically. There
are about 5000 voters in Edgecombe
county. AT the last election this
county, where the negroes are in
a majority, went Democratic by
$500 majority. II it doubles that
majority in the coming election
then the whole 5000 votes would
, have to bs counted and every white
man who desires to vote against
the Simmons machine will be dis
franchised by the infamous cleo
ton law.
d This is very frank admission Of
, the purpose to steal every vote FOL
the machine, regardless of how it Ii
cast.
The Democrats, in seven of thu
nine counties In the second distric,
elected their State, county and leg
islative tickets, yet the negro
, White was reelected to Congress
If as Gillian alleges, White is the
"Star of the Republican party" anc
a negro at that, why was he not
. defeated, since their cry was solely
!. against the negro?
1t would seem to indicate that
there was "something rotten in thu
State OF Denmark" in this case.

the facts,

WHOLIED IN 1898.

Mr.. Aycock, IN his speech at Shell
by, as reported in the News and OBJ
server, is quoted as saying:
81 come here to pledge the mighty
Democratic party to the education OF
every llliterate white child in North
Carolina. They say we want to dis
franchise the white children OF the
State. It's 6 lea demagogue lie. We
want to put into his hand the great
est power that man can have-the
glorious power which comes from
equal opportunity"
MI. Avcock "pledges" the Demo
cratic party to the education Of ev-
cry illiterate white child" but sup
pose many of these illiterate white
children have to work, as many do
now-in factories, to support aged
and infirm parents and will there
fore not have an opportunity to gel
an education. Will Mr.. Aycock de-
ny that they cannot cote after 1905
if they do not then have the educa
tional qualification While he 'pledg
es' that the white children will b.
educated so as to have the right t.
vote, does Mr.. Aycock intend there
by to say that he favors compulser.
educationi That is the only way b.
which every white child could get q,
education prior to 1908.
But there will be thousands o
white children who will not be abb
to read and write after 1908, just a
there are now, and these same chill
dren will not have political rights
while many thousand negroe
will be able to vote. There is n
white supremacy in this. Furthe,
more, if as the amendment provides
that white children will be disfrar
chised after 1908, if they cannot rea
and write, is a "demagogieal lie
then who told the "demogogical lie

book, Chairman Simmons, and Den
ocratic speakers generally, pledge
the people that nobody would be di
} franchised, if they obtained contr'

THE WICK EDNEss OF 1T.

THE CAUCASIAN Is of the opin-
ion that the pending suffrage
amendment to the Constitution of
North Carolina is wicked and only
wicked continually. 1t seems to
us to be wicked in the principle Of
it; wicked in the motive Of
it wicked in the method Of 1t !;
wicked in the inception of it wick
ed in the purpose of it /; wicked and
only wicked continually. We do
not see how any Christian man,
how any good man, how any fair
man, how any intelligent man, how
any moral man, how any patriotic
man, how any decent man, how any
man, can force himself to vote for
this glazing piece of legislative
meanness. But the Peoples Party
has declared that it will not make
the amendment party question
In the campaign now on ; and we
are perfectly willing to leave every
voter to vote for or against it, as
his own judgment and sense oil
right may dictate. But the wick
edness Of the Observation-Disclosures
as it isis venial, trivial, slight
and as nothing at all, in COMPARE
son with the wickedness of the
Democratic party in proposing the
amendment.
During the canvass of 1898, the
speakers Of the Democratic party In
this State made the most solemn
pledges that men could make to the
illiterate voters of North Carolina,
that, II they would vote for their
candidates and restore the Demo-
cratic party again to power, they
would protect the ballot in their
hands, and would see to it that
no measure Of Acknowledgement
should be passed through the leg
islature. The illiterate voters
hundreds and thousands Of them,
certainly-tock those Democrats
to be truthful and honorable
men, and voted for them in
sufficient numbers to return
them to power. The pending prop.
osition to tear the ballot out o.
these ignorant hands Is the Demo
cratic party's return for the conf
dence and trust reposed In them by
the illiterate electorate of North
Carolina. Was anything ever en-
acted In the shadows of history
meaner, more flagrantly and wan
tonly wicked than the action of tn,
Democratic party in breaking 1T
pledges to the common people o
both colors and of all parties IL
this old commonwealth?
Let US suppose:
A blind, beggar has gotten to
gether a few dollars in money. A
rich, strong, healthy man finds ou
that the beggar has those dollars
and wants to get possession o
them. Some one tells the begga
that this rich man will take his lit
tie sum of money away from him
il he gets a chance. The begga
goes into his house and bars tn,
door. BY and by, the rich maj
comes to the beggar's cabin anC
asks to be admitted to its hospital
ity. The beggar refuses to let him
in. The rich man begs and pleads
for admittance. The beggar telli
him that he has been told that hi
(the rich MANI will take his littl,
sum of money from him If he gets
a chance. The rich man protests
that he will nor take the poor mans
money; that he does not want his
money that those who told the beg.
