EMANCIPATION DAY.

Our friends the negro chasers, open
ed their political campaign III behalf Of
their Constitutional Amendment on
Emancipation Day The selection of the
day was characteristically tactful.-

No better day could have been selected.
New Years day from time immcmorial
has been the time for beginning to do be;-

For thirty years more than one hun
bred thousand capable white voters iii
North Carolina have been virtually dis
franchised because their votes have been
Killed by the votes of that number of
incompetent negroes. AS long rs that
vote did not destroy the peace of so
ciety and decent government. these lO0.-
600 white men submitted to this practi-
cal disfranchiSement, but when as In
1S95-'9S it resulted in insecurity, out
rage, debauchery and disgrace, these and
other white men resolved not longer to
submit to it, The last Legislature sub
mitted to the voters an amendment to
the Constitution which says to 100000
negro voters: You have been used
for thirty years for your own and the
States undoing. You cannot vote again
until you qualify yourself for an intelh-
gent use of the ballot"
On the first of January, 1900, i'll near

who though voting for thirty years
have seen at every election their
votes killed by the vote of an incompe-
tent negro, who east the ballot put in
his hands by designing selfish politician.
Talk about an Emancipation Procia-
nation. The passage of the amend
ment will be the first proclamation of
right to have their vote weigh for
good government that 100000 white
men in North Carolina have heard in
thirty years Does anybody think these
white men will refuse this first ana
perhaps last opportunity to have a voice
in government not killed by an incompe.

WHY NOT KEEP IT?

The year 1899 showed great activity
and progress in building cotton mills
and in charging those already built. The
State manufactured within four thousand
bales Of all the cotton produced, thereby
getting twenty cents instead of seven
cents for its cotton.
In 1900, why not sell the cotton in the
manufactured product for thirty or forty
instead of twenty cents? SO far most
of the cotton mills erected have been
supplied with machinery that nlanufac-
lures cheap goods. Why not in the new
mills and i'm the changes of machinery,
equip them with machinery to make the
finer and more costly fabrics? To spin
all our cotton into yarns and cheap goods
is well; to convert them into fabrics that
bring high prices is better.
Twenty years ago New England said
i'm mills adjacent to the fields. The
South has answered by doing it. Ten
years ago those New Englanders who
before had denied that the South could
spin its cotton, said, 1T can convert it
into warps and cheap goods, but cannot
compete with us in the finer goods 1t
has been demonstrated 10y those mills
that have made finer goods that they can
be made as well by Southern as by New
England skill.
The duty of the South this year, now
that all the world recognizes that the
mill must come to the cotton, is to make
the goods that pay the best. going on
steadily, safely and surely until its trade
mark on the finest cotton goods made
i'm the world is guarantee of its excel
lence. s.
Why not keep the cotton money, from
the staple to the finest fabrics, at home!

THE SEPARATE CAR BILL.

The Ephes separate Car bill, which
went into effect at midnight Saturday,
had Its first trial on Sunday, when there
was twice as much travel by negroes as
on any other day, and the new law
went into operation without difficulty
as far as heard from on the roads enter
ing Richmond. The railroads had
ample notice and prepared cars in ad-
I vance.
Nest of the cars are separated by q
partition across few seats in one end
of each Car. These compartments, 1t is
understood, will be used for colored
people when travel is light, and when
it is heavy an extra car will be used.
When the extra car is used then these
compartments will be utilized as 'smok-
ers," and there will be no regular smok-
ing-cars.. The accommodation for whites
| and blacks are identical.
The only objection raised by the COL
ored people go far is their inability to
buy second-class tickets, they having
been abolished under the new order OF
things.
The law requiring separate cars Is
| styled. "The act providing for separate
railway coaches for white and colored
people," but what Is known az the slim
Crow Law" The act was passed and
approved OIL January 80, 1900, and the
| railroads were given FIVE months to
make preparations for the change.
The law consists of nine sections,
which provide, in substance. as follows:
Section l provides for separate
| coaches on all steam railroads in Vir-
giDis.
Section forbids discrimination 10
the quality, accommodations and con.
veniences OF the cars for the white and
colored.
Section 3 makes the violation OF sec
lions / and misdemeanor and fixes
| the punishment at fine of not less
than $500 nor more than 81 900.
Section gives county and city
courts, in whose counties and cities
railroads are operated, Jurisdiction over
the offenses In section 3.
Section 5 gives the conductor of a
train power to put of those who re-
fuses to occupy the cars provided for
them.
Section 6 makes failure OF conductors
to comply with section 5 a misdemeap-
or and fixes fine OF not less than $25
nor more than $50 for each offense.
Section z gives conductor the priv
ilege of putting persons out of the
coach or compartment OF coach provid-
ed for them If the one provided is full
and no other is available.
Section s states the exception to the
law as follows: Employees of railroads,
persons employed as nurses, officers in
charge OF prisoners, passengers in any
caboose Car attached to freight train,
Pullman cars and through or express
trains which do no local business.
Section 8 states time when law goes
into effect-July l, 1900.
