A DILEMMA FOR pRITCHARD.

The right to vote implies the right
TO hold office.
Does Senator Pritchard deny this?
II he does deny it. then he must base
his denial on the untitness of the
ignorant negro to hold office, and
must show that though unfit to hold
office he is qualified for the suffrage
Does Senator Pritchard admit that
the right to vote implies the right to
hold office?
Then he must admit that the most
ignorant negro has right to hold
office. ii he admits this, then he
must explain why the negro has been
shut out of office in Madison and other
counties of Western North Carolina
when the Republicans have been in
power; and he must explain why no
negro has been given revenue or
other Federal office in Senator Prit-
chard's end of the State. Asheville

TAX O'RELL.
A Short Sketch of the Gifted Frenchman
Who Lectured Here Last Week.

Although he has come and gone
there are doubtless many among our
readers to whom some information
about the life and achievements of M.
Paul Blouet, pronounced BluetD pro-
fessionally known as MAX O'Rell,n
would be of special interest. Capt.
Shaw has kindly furnished us the fol-
lowing as gathered from the Literary
Digest:
Paul Blouet, MAX O'RelD was born
in Brittany, France, March 2nd, 1913.
He was educated at military school
in Paris and commissioned as sub
lieutenant in the French army in 1869.
He did active service in the Franco
Prussian war and was a participant
in the famous battle at Worth. He
was taken prisoner at Sedan, but was
soon liberated. He was severely
wounded in his right arm in an en-
gagement against the Commune out
side Paris, and was honorably dis
charged and pensioned.
In 1873 he went to England and en-
gagged in journalism until 1876, when
he was made Head Master Of St. Paul's
school which position he resigned in
1891. While at same school he wrote
"John Bull and His Island" Since
then he has written John Bulls
Daughters, 1.-The Dear Neighbors, :"
'Drat The Boys" Friend Macdonald"
jonathan and His Continent GA
Frenchman in America, and ''English
Pharisees and French Crocodiles" be-
sides a number of school books
He lectured throughout Great Brit
ian, and in 1890 lectured in the princi-
pal cities of the United States and
Canada. He married an English wo-
man, and made London his home.
Madame Blount translated most of her
husbands books into the English
tongue.
Mr.. Blouet is now under the man
agement Of the Southern Lvceum
Bureau, lecturing in the Southland.
And after he has finished the tour he
will amend his wishes, and if he could
be born again, he would not only
wish to be an American woman, but
Southern woman at that.

Aycock. Mr.. Justice, Mr.. Davidson, Mr..
Simmons and Others, contribute literally
from their private means to the cam
paign fund But all the money that can
be secured is needed for legitimate ex-
penses.
1t is rumared here that the Alliance
organ, the Proqr ssire Farmer, will soon an
nounce it's support OF the Constitutional
amendment. Among the latest converts
here is Thomas P. Devereux, a life long
Republican of prominence. Superintend-
ent of Public instruction c. II. Mebane
Pop }, will also support it, SO it is re-
ported, though when asked by your cor
respondent, he declined to say definitely
one way or the other. He aspires to
re- nomination-and by the Democratic
convention, ! hear.
Gen. Julian S. Carr, who has just re-
turned from New York and other North
ern cities, says that the Democratic pros
poets, nationally speaking, are improv-
ing daily. He finds great difference be-
tween the Expansion" flor development
OF our manufacturing industries chieay,)
sentiment held by many Democrats, and
the ''imperialistic' policy OF the Republi-
can administration-the latter making
citizens and voters eventually Of negroes
and aliens in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines. Gen. Carr is doing every
thing in his power to advance the cause
OF the Constitutional amendment, and is
| subordinating his candidacy for the US.
| Senate Ito succeed Butler) to this issue.
Still the Senatorship is being earnestly
discussed by Democrats, when ever a
small crowd get together. From all
can see and hear the race between him
| and Mr.. Simmons will be a close one, and
many express regret that both could not
be elected for that exalted office-so popu-
lar and deserving are both gentlemen.
| 1t is the general belief that the State con-
vention will order a primary-and this
| means would doubtless be the most sat
isfactory one of settling the Senatorship.
Both Gen. Carr and Mr.. Simmons favor
the primary plan.
Hon. Charles B. Aycock has accepted
| the invitation extended to him, by
county chairman Mccall, to address the
Democrats OF Mecklenburg on the Goth
instant. Mr.. Aycock is a fine speaker
| and a treat is in store for those who
| hear him.
Chairman Holton says the Republican
| headquarters now established at Green's
borO, will be moved to Raleigh later in
| the campaign.
Chairman Simmons, while doing much
preliminary work at his law office here,
states that regular Democratic head
| quarters will not be opened until the Con-
vention meets and elects Chairman.
or course, Mr.. Simmons will be reelected.
He is the most successful Chairman the
party has ever had-certainly of late
years. LLEW\AM.

HON. JOHN w. ATWATER ON THE
AMENDMENT.

1t is pleasure to the Post to pub
fish an open letter from Congressman
John w. Atwater of this district to
one of his constituents in Chatham
1t is a letter worthy OF the writer,
and of the good citizenship which is
dcarer to him than office. On the
great issue now involved our Con-
gresham is ust where we expected
him to he, knowing him as we do, on
the side of good government through
out the State, now and hereafter. And
he says Mr.. Butler will not be able to
lead his former associates into the
Republican camp and in opposition
to white supremacy and the elimina-
ton of the ignorant and vicious negro
voter.
This letter of Mr.. Atwater, follow
ing those of \. {. Green. of Wake,
j. j. Marshall, Of Forsyth, j. l..
Green. of Union. may be accepted as
fully yoicing the sentiment of every
Populist who has pride in his race,
his citizenship, and who desires the
well-being of his State.
The people of this district, and the
whole State as well, will read MI
Atwater's letter with great pleasure.

GOV. RUSSELL ON THE ATTEND.
MENT.
He Thinks His Party Is Taking a Ills.
take in Opposing the Measure.

Some weeks ago Gov. Russell was
invited to speak next Monday night
at the Marquette Club in Chicago.
The occasion was the celebration of
Lincoln's birthday, aud the Governor
accepted.
He found, however, that he could
not 90 to Chicago at this time and so
he delegated Mr.. j. c. l.. Harris to
represent him. Accordingly Mr..
Harris left yesterday morning for
Chicago, and on Monday night. at the
banquet, he will read the speech pre-
pared by the Governor for the occas-
ion.
The subject of this speech is Re
publicanism in the South, =" and it will
deal with political conditions here as
affected by industrial progress and
the race question.
He will refer to the rapid strides
the South has made since the war.
pointing with especial pride to the
phenomenal growth OF manufacturing,
especially cotton milling. in this sec
ton. With this industrial change,
he will say there has come a great
political change; that the South has
become protection and sound money
centre; that many people will vote for
Bryan, but pray for Mckinley's cleo
ton.
The cause of this, he SAYS, is to be
found in that greatest and strongest
of feelings-race prejudice; that but
for the negro the South would be
solid Republican instead of solid Dem
ocratic, as now. The fatal error OF
his party in this section, the Governor
will declare, has been to allow the
Democrats to choose the issue and
make the fight on their own grounds
And in this connection he will Incl
dentally refer to the Constitutional
amendment fight now going on in
this State. He will argue that his
party is making mistake to fight it
that it is the old race question in s
| new but more virulent form-tht
favorite issue of the Democratic party
| and an issue upon which the Demo
Gratis have never failed to win
The Republicans of North Carolina
he will declare. would be wise to leave
the amendment question alone; make
no party issue of it, and let ever,
man vote on it as he might personally
think proper.-Raleigh Nesrs and %
| Serrer.

MR.. ST. JOHNS CLEVER ACT.

Mr.. +. st. John, Vice President and
General Manager Of the Seaboard Air
Line, can always be counted on to do
the clever thing. When arrange
ments were being made to bring MI
Bryan to Raleigh the committee wired
Mr.. st. John asking if it would be
possible to get special car for the
party from Richmond. He immed-
lately answered that he would be glad
to tender Mr.. Bryan S. A. L. official
car A (his own private carr for the oc-
casion. Commenting on this gener-
Gus action of Mr. St. John the News
md Observer says:
This is even better than had been
asked or hoped for here and is in
keeping with that policy which has
made the Seaboard Air Line the most
popular road in the South.
Nor did Mr.. St. John stop at pro-
viding private car. A special train

venience to persons who wished to
accompany the great Democratic
leader as well as to those along the
route who had to be content with
seeing and hearing him during the
short stay he was thus permitted to
make at points along the line. Had
he travelled on the regular train
thousands of persons would have been
deprived of anything more than get
ting mere glimpse of Mr.. Bryan.
Certainly he could not have made any
speeches to them.
OF course, persons who went on the
special bought tickets and paid their
way just as they would have done on
any other train, but it was a great ac-
cOmmodation and the action of the
railroad authorities in running it was
greatly appreciated.

Nix. BRYAN may be all right and
mean well, but he mas poor way OF
showing it by being found in the
company of Marion Butler. Sunday S
Washington Post speaks of him as
spending part of the afternoon at
the capitol '.in conference with Chair
man Jones, Of the Democratic National
Committee, Senator Martin, of Nir-
ginia, and Senator Butler, of North
Carolina,n and says: ale made ar
engagements with Senator Butler to
visit Raleigh after speaking in Rich

ing any arrangements with Butler to
visit Raleigh, we do not believe.
Such arrangements had already been
made and Butler had nothing to do
with the matter whatever And if
the Post article is wrong in part may
it not be wrong altogether and writ
