EXPOSED HIS CORRUPTION

Nobody can believe that the eau
casian or Butler is honest in opposi-
ton to the amendment who will read
one paragraph in the Caucasian, pub
lished in September of last year. 1t
then said: II i 1884 ME-
We do not believe that any good
and, satisfactory reason can be given
for having two distinct sections,
WHEN ONE WOULD HANE4REMOV-
ED ALL TROUBLE. With only one
section and in the event of the grand
father clause being declared unconsti-
tutional, then the educational qualifi-
cation would also have been defeated
AND NO WHITE VOTERS RIGHT
WOULD BE IN DANGER"
At the session of the Legislature
these two distinct sections were con-
solidated in such a way, to quote the
Caucasian, that mo white voters
right would be in danger" And still
the Caucasian opposes the amend
ment.
Why? Because Butler has sold out

WEST VIRGINIA ALRIGHT.

There has been much talk to the
effect that the Republicans will carry
West Virginia this year 1t is safe for
Bryan, according to Mr.. John I. Nc
Graw, member of the National Com
mittee from that State. He says:
81 see the Republicans are very
confident in the claim that they will
carry West Virginia, but then, you
know, the Republicans are great on
claims. West Virginia is a Democratic
State, and because the Republicans
carried it in 1896 it doesn't follow by
any mans that they will continue to
do so. Conditions today are far differ
ent from four years ago, and every in
dication points to a Democratic vic
tory: In 1896 such Democratic lead
ers as ex-senator Camden and eX-Gov-
ernor Flemming supported Palmer
and Buckner, and aside from their
personal efforts, the normal influence
of their refusal to support the regular
Democratic nominees had powerful
weight throughout the State. This
year these leaders are for the ticket
and the party is united and harmon
ious."

GEN. RANSOM THINKS
Negroes Burned His Barn Because He Spoke
For the Amendment.
Charlotte Observer.)

Charlotte Observer)
In reply to a question, General NJ. w.
Ransom, who is in Charlotte. said he was
rather reluctant to talk about the burn
ing of his barn last Saturday night, for
he said he felt most kindly to the negroes
and did not wish to say anything that
would do them injustice or cause them
hurt. But, said he, from all the evil
dence that my sons and have been able
to obtain we are convinced that the oarn-
ing of the barn was the work of incendia-
ries, who were angry because of my
speech Friday On that day l spoke at
Elan church, with Mr.. F. l. Osborne, and
Saturday morning l understand that it
was reported among the RSgroes Of the
neighborhood that l had made three
hours speech, in which I had been very
hard on them. / am fortunate or unfor-
tunate enough to have a large number of
negroes in my employ, and among these
or others an incendiary spirit was aroused
by my speech in favor of the amendment.
1.-THE barn was five miles from my house
and 250 yards from the nearest house
negro dwelling. My sons investigated
and found that the fire had started from
the outside of the building, this being
further evidence of its incendiary origin. ;"

Concord, N. c., July Goth, 1900.
Mr. NJ H. H. Caldwell, Concord, N. c.:

pressed its sincere desire to have the aid
and influence of all white men in the

ment now before them, and you having
by a public letter expressed your ap-
prevail of this amendment and your de-
termination to support it, we, members
of the Bar of Concord, hereby respectfully
request you to make two or three
speeches in Cabarrus for this amendment
when and where you and Mr.. A. B.

"STAY INSIDE THE LAW"

The Lumberton Argus has a para
graph this week which needs to be
emphasized. Speaking of Mr.. Aycocll
at Lumberton, the Argus says
lie is no extremist. When some
one cried out Thursday, xiii 'em!
he rebuked him and urged his consti-
tuents to stay inside the law
Mr. Aycock is right. The Demo-
cratic party must "stay inside the
law" 1t must be guilty nowhere of
any infraction of the law. The prov
ocation to resent threats and violence
with threats and violence has already
been great in this campaign. 1t may
be greater before the night of August
second. When the provocation is great
est let every Democrat heed the words
of the leader of his party:
"STAY INSIDE THE LAW"
The already assured success of this
remarkable campaign should not be
married by any revolutionary word or
act on the part of the men upon whom
rests the duty of preserving civiliza-
ton through white supremacy. The
watchword of Democracy this year
should be Providence and Firmness.
No Democrat should do anything not
dictated by prudence. and every DEM
ocrat should be as firm as the Rock
of Gibraltar in defending his rights.

A BIT OF SPRING.
The Pensive POE Said the Crocus
La the Rooster Of
Flowers.

"Do you wish any spring poetry to.day?"
inquired a ~long.haired caller, and the lamb
like editor reached for his gun. The caller
saw the motion and held up his hand ap-
pealingly.
"shoot if you will this long.haired head,
softly; IBID l understand you to say, you
would like some spring poetry to.day?" he
added, with mild insistence.
Il would like it as well to-day as any day."
replied the editor, "but I do not liket it any
day. There's housekeeping and moving and
a superabundance of bile and torpid livers
and influenza and enough other things to
contend with in the spring, without having
any poetry showed in on u.s."
"But think of the kind mine u.s." insisted
the visitor; "listen," and he pulled out a
dingy-looking slip Of paper and read:
'"There bursts the jonquil from the earth
To meet the growing showers.
The rooster of the flowers"
"What do you think of that?"
"Who in thunder ever heard of a flower
: being a rooster?" queried the editor. "The
most unlimited poetic license will not per-
nit that sort of a wrench to the imagina-
ton
Steady: steady my Pegasis," said the Wis
ing out of the traces, and I don't blame you,
for there is a really startling thought in that
suggestion. 1t is plain enough when you
see it."

serve, please. The crocus is the rooster ofthe

rElnal Notes.

The descendant of a New England
Puritan divine has in his possession an
old sermon written by his ancestor
which shows that the preacher did not
trust entirely to the impulses of the
moment when delivering his discourses.
The manuscript is written in a strange,
grabbed hand, and plentifully besprink-
led with marginal references. Read
slowly here" the minister admonishes
himself in one spot, and "To be given
out cery loud and clear,"is the sugges-
ton for another passage. Hurry a lit
tie, with " he wrote in severalplaces.
The most emphatic and important part
of the whole sermon is indicated by a
much-underlined marginal note. After
hearing stories of this sanity oid-time
preacher, it is amusing to know that he
deemed it wise and even necessary ct
the climax of his ~eloquence to Vel IikS
possessed."-Youth's Companion.

An unknown man, beating his way
on a freight, came to grief at Cathay.
For a number of stations, every time
the train stopped, he had been jump
ing off and hiding. When the train
stopped there at midnight for water,
the car he was on was standing on
the bridge. He awoke suddenly and
realized that the time for him to va
cate had come. Without waiting to
see where he would strike, he jumped
from the car, and struck the water in
the lake about 20 feet below. The
water is at least 10 feet in depth. He
received a slight cut on his hip and a
good ducking besides, otherwise he
was not injured. .
