There are among the whites also a
great many illiterates, and after few
years they will derive this same ad-
vantage from the operation of this
amendment. They will feel the
necessity Of learning how to read and
write, and education will be stimu-
lated among them and the dark
shadow of illiteracy will pass away
from the face of North Carolina. 1t
will be great step in advance Of our
people and State, and altogether in
line with those changes in our mate
rial conditions which are now develop
ing the resources Of North Carolina,
energizing our people and increasing
their wealth and comfort in their
homes.-S. A. Ashe.

WEATHER FOR MARCH.
Hicks Forecast for the Month-rlag-
netic and Electric Phenomena About
the 18th.

the 18th.
Following is the weather forecast
for March as made by Rev. Irl r..
Hicks:
BY the Srd or 4th high barometer
will have succeeded storm conditions
and cold, fair weather will have trav-
eled eastward from the northwest
over most of the country.
A regular Vulcan storm period runs
from the 9th to 10th, with Moon at
first quarter and extreme north de-
clination on the 9TH. Southerlv winds,
falling barometer, warmer weather
and general storm conditions will
appear in western parts early in this
period, and more storms of rain and
snow will be progressive from west to
east about Thursday. the Sth to Sat-
urday the 11th.
We have many times explained that
on and about March II will fall a
crisis in magnetic and electric phe.
nomena. About this time. also, there
is great reason to anticipate equato-
rial and cyclonic storms up through
the south seas and islands and along
our southern coast. We predict,
however, that the disturbances nor
mally due about the 11th with this
month be delayed or prolonged until
the 14th. 18th. and 10th, at which time
Moon will be in apcgee. on the celes-
tial equator and at her full. Violent
equinoctial hurricanes and gales will
occur on many seas, and around many
coasts along and bordering on the
tropical girdle Of the globe, not far
from this central perturbation in
March. A marked blizzard and boreal
storm over northern sections of this
country need not surprise our readers
about the same time.
The cold weather following the
disturbances described above will
moderate during the first part of the
Vulcan storm period 17,h to 22nd, and
more marked storm conditions will
return about Monday the 10th TO
| Thursday the 22nd.

DEMOCRATIC PROMISES MADE re
WHITE MEN ONLY.

The statement has been made and
often repeated, that the Democratic
party in the last campaign promised
not to disfranchise, or in any way
abridge the right Of the negro to
vote.
Pray, to whom did the Democratic
party make such a promise? 1t ccr-
tainly did not make it to the negro,
because it did not ask for negro votes.
On the contrary, it detied the negro
vote. 1t said to the negro: 1--WE do
not expect your vote; we propose to
beat you with the vote of WHITE
MEN, 1t said to him: This is a
white mans country, and white men
must and shall rule it, 1t said to
him: I'VE propose to put an e.d to
negro Office holding in North Caro-
lima, now and forever.' And upon
every stump, from the mountains to
the sea shore. it demanded and prom
ised WHITE SUPREMACY. Under
these circumst stances, what sense
would there have been in its making
this or any other promise to the
negro? What consideration could it
have expected to receive for such a
promise, and what possible induce
mcnt was there to make it? A bare
statement of the facts, shows that the
statement that such promise was
made by the party is both untrue and
absurd.
Whatever promises the Democratic
party made in the last campaign upon
the subject of suffrage generally, or
upon any other sub joct. WERE MADE
TO WHITE MEN AND NOT TO THE
NEGRO CarOltnian

States Constitution saws:
'.Section !. The right of citizens
of the United States to vote shall not
be denied or abridged by the United
States or any State on account Of
race, color or previous condition of
servitude."
When not in conflict with that the
State has the sovereign right to say
who shall and who shall not vote.
1t can and does deny suffrage to wo-
men, to persons under q years of
age, etc. The 14th amendment guar
anteeing the privileges and immuni-
ties of the citizens of the United
States and the equal protection of its
laws to every person within the luris-
diction of State does not and was
not intended to affect or confer suf-
frage. II it did confer suffrage, then
women, children and idiots could
vote, for they are persons and citi-
zens. The 18th amendme mt does not
destroy the right of Il State to pre-
scribe the qualifications for its voters.
These qualifications vary in different
States. In some States both sexes
ma? vote, in most States only men
can vote. Some States require the
voter to own certain amount Of
property. All States require resi-
dence for certain length of time.
Many require some education, the
payment OF taxes and registration.
The full meaning of the Federal Con-
stitution on this subject is, that if a
citizen of the United States possesses
the qualifications prescribed by a
State. then his right to vote shall not
his race. color, etc.-W. W. Kitchen.
The amendment is submitted to rid
the State Of a hundred thousand ne
gro voters. 1t will not disfranchise 4
single white man. When the Legis-
lature meets in June it can be relied
on to make any change or addition
necessary to show every white voter
that he is fully and forever protected.
Every prop has been Knocked out
from under the Republican opponents
of the amendment, and by August
they will not have thing to stand
upon. The White Supremacy ad-
vocates will make everything SO plain
that six-year-old boy can under
stand it.-NewS and Observer.
| now ask the reader to consider
the effect of this amendment if adopt
ed upon the white people of the State.
And first of all assert it does not
disfranchise single white voter
whose name goes on the registration
books prior to January 1st. 1908.
Not one. Every white man who is a
qualified voter now will continue to
be so as long as he lives. so far as this
amendment affects his right to vote.
Every young man arriving at full age
before January 1st, 1908, can register
and vote if he puts his name on the
registration books before that date,
and he will continue to be voter as
long as he lives.-T. J. Jarvis.

pany were heard yesterday by the House
committee on insular affairs, in opposition
to the bill designed to give the Commercial
Cable Company of Cuba landing rights on
that island. Mr.. Clark reviewed the va
rious concessions granted by Spain, and
maintained their regularity and the exclu-
sive rights they conferred. Mr.. Taggart
dealt with the international and legal
phases of the subject. urging that private
rights in Cuba were protected by the
treaty of peace with Spain. and that the ex-
elusive grants by Spain were continuous
and in full force. The hearing continued
through the afternoon.

and urged the acceptance of the invitation.
The committee subsequently, in executive
session. accepted the invitation. and fixed

post roads accepted a similar invitation.
The subcommittee of the Senate commit
tee on commerce appointed to consider the
ship subsidy bill yesterday agreed to rec
ommend several changes in the bill One
of the amendments agreed upon limits the
amount to be paid in any one year tc
twenty and twenty-one-knot vessels to
$2,OUO.OO0 in the aggregate. Another change
places vessels of eleven, twelve and thir-
teen knots speed in the special premium

low-power freight vessels. A third amend
ment provides for the admission Of foreign
built ships of certain classes where a ma
jority of the stock is owned by American

troduced was that so per cent of the stock
should be owned in this country.

tigation of the Idaho labor troubles on Feb

Democrats in Kentucky Legislature
Gust Mr.. Berry.
TEST VOTE WAS 81 TO AZ
Similar Result Expected ia the
Gubernatorial Contest.
PARTY LINES BROKEN

FRANKFORT. KY, January 27.-The
case of Van Meter. democrat. against Ber-
ry. republican, for the latter's seat In the
legislature was decided in favor of Van
Meter by a vote of 81 to 45. This is the
vote which republicans and democrats ad-
nit is an accurate forecast of the vote in
the Goebel-Tayior contest.
The democrats voting with the republi-
cans were Cochran, Egbert, Grider, Hinton,
Orr and Willingham. Sledge democrat,
was absent, and Speaker Trimbie did not
vote.
A resolution TO adopt the majority report
as amended by the minority report was
adopted, 81 to AZ, and Mr.. Van Meter was
declared a member of the assembly.
The house adjourned until Monday morn
ing at IL o'clock.
Interpretation of the Result.
According to the opinion of both demo-
Gratis and republicans, the vote on the Van
Meter-Berry contest case in the house Of
representatives will. in all probability. in-
dicate the votes in the Goebel-Taylor con-
test.
The DEMOCRATS tried in vain to pair Mr..
Sledge, who WIS unable to attend the
house proceedings today, but the repubI-
cans refused on the allegation that Mr..
publican last week, did not keep faith with
him.
At the opening of the session Mr.. Bur-
kamp, who presented the majority report
in favor of Mr.. Berry, republican. resumed
his argument in favor Of the adoption of
the report which he had presented. At the
conclusion of Mr.. Burkamp's argument Mr..
Rawiins, who presented the minority re-
port, announced that, being I'll, he was un-
able to speak In behalf of his report, and
surrendered the floor to Representative
Holan, who delivered the argument in IA
vor of the adoption of the minority report.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Hollans argu-
ment Mr.. Finn, democrat, moved the pre-
vious question, which was the adoption of
the majority report.
DilatOry Motions Ruled Out.
Several motions were made by republican
members to reconsider to take recess of
thirty minutes and for an extension of the
debate, all of which were ruled out of order
by Speaker Trinble as being dilatory.
At the conclusion of the addresses the
speaker called the question, which he de-
clared to be the substitution of the minor
ity report for that of the majority. the
minority presented by Mr.. Rawlins unseat-
ing Mr.. Berry.

Father Rennolds was born near Pixies

two years ago, and is a son of the late
DR.. H. s. Rennolds, who was surgeon in

after completing the course of that insti-
tuition went to the American College at
Rome, where he concluded his studies. He
was ordained about six years ago. August

DIR. WHITMAN'S SUCCESSOR.
David j. Hill, Assistant Secretary OF
State, SuEGested.

Since the retirement Of DR.. Whitman
from the presidency Of Columbian Univer-
sity there has been considerable discus
sion in educational circles as to the sue
cession. Many names have been mentioned
as those of persons eminently fitted for
the post. and prominent among these has
been the name of David j. Hill, first as
sistant secretary of state. Mr.. Hill came
to the State Department with high repu-
tation as an educator, and since his resi-
dence in Washington he has been connected
directly with Columbian University in the
capacity Of professor of international law.
These facts may possibly have formed the
basis for the expectation in some quar-
tiers that DIR. Hill was to succeed DIR. Whit
man. But as matter of fact no such
selection has been made, and there is
good ground for the belief that, however
desirous he might be to suitably acknowl
edge the compliment conveyed should he
be named, DIR. Hill could not reconcile his
acceptance of the honor with a due re-
gard for his private interests and profess
sional aspirations

RELIEF OF AFEK1NG

LONDON, January 2T.-The defense com
nittee of the cabinet met at the war office
this afternoon. Lord Salisbury presiding.
There are reiterated rumors that the grav
es. kind Of news from Natal is being con-
ceaied by the war office. 1t is even said
that Gen. Buffers forces are in full re-
treat.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach the chancellor
of the exchequer. came to London purpose;y
to attend, AMI Joseph Chamberlain, the sec
retary of state Tor the colonies gave up
other engagements for the same reason.
1t is impossible to confirm or deny the
reports of disaster to Gen. Buffers forces
as the officials maintain silence. They say
they have nothing for publication. 1t is
evident. however. from the Offices an
nouncements. that the casualties reported
by Gen. Butler occurred in Gen. Lyttle-
tons brigade. which apparently was not
engs ged at Spien kop, that there has been
severe fighting not yet reported.
Lord Wolseley, the eommander-in-chiefo of
the forces, was also present at the meeting
of the committee
There is no mention here of the reports
circulated in the United States that Gen.
Clery has been defeated by the Beers. The
last heard of Gen. Clery was that he was
participating in Gen. Warren's movements.
