DEMOCRAT VS.. AMENDMENT.


Durham, N. c., May 8.
Editor Of Caucasian: Many Demo

lature Of ''99'' did a wise and honest
thing in putting before tie people OF
North Carolina tie proposed constitu-
tional amendment: but can and will
face any one that belonged to that Leg
islature or any man in the State and
tell him that itEwas neither wise or
honest in them. After they had PROM
in office they would do nothing Of the:
but ! am bitterly opposed to this pro
posed amendment.
Two years ago, the Democrats fooled
me, as l guess they did nearly every
one else. They have begun their work
to tear to pieces the constitution. be
Iieve in letting il stand as It is. am
against it. / don't like it. l hope
that it will fall as a whole or bs de-
feated a. the polls. l believe that any
man who ever he may be, that has good
hard, round, common sense knows that
it Is sin in Gods sight for the men
who composed the last Legislature to
act as they did regarding this amend.
| that 1t was right; do not believe that
il Christ had been q member OF the
| North Carolina Legislature Of 1899 he
would have voted for it. want some
one to show me where there is a section
in the amendment that is for the poor
white mans interest.
| l want to see this State prosper and
grow as she has in the past. But IL this
proposed amendment passes this beloved
State of ours will no longer continue
in PROSPERITY. l realize that l am now
living in the most progressive age in
the worlds history, and want this
coming century to -surpass the one
which is about to close: for it may bs
that l shall live the best part of my
life in the coming century, and I want
to help the people to get out from IN
der this reign Of poverty. We the rising
generation SHAH be the law makins
body Of the United States in the Goth
century, but If this amendment passes
we are done. 1t will throw all the
tofhce-holders upon the moneyed man
and not the man who is working for his

for being opposed to the amendment
Now was this keeping the pledge they
