WHITE WESTERN REPUBLICANS
DON'T LIKE II.

We understand that the Republi-
cans in the white counties in the
West, like Yancey, Mitchell and Madi-
son, object to the statement that the
Republican party is a negro party, Or
is run and controlled by the negro
and negro influence. AS a national
organization, and as an organization
in their own counties, they are cor
rect, at least with reference to their
county organization, but as State
organization in North Carolina, and
the South generally, the Republican
party is dominated and controlled by
the negro, and can do nothing as an
organization without his consent and
approval. If it is offensive to Re-
publican gentlemen who live in white
communities to be classed with the
negro in politics, they should know
that they cannot rid themselves of
the offensive association and the
odium which attaches to it by get
ting angry when told they are in sorry
company, and by denying the fact
known of all men to be fact. They
cannot make a thing which is true
false by simply declaring it false.
If the Republicans of our Western
counties want TO free themselves of
the odium of belonging to the negro
party, if they are opposed, as they
say they are, and as we believe in the
main they are, to negro ruling over
white people in other sections of the
State as we'll as in their own coun-
ties, let them show their faith by
their work and by voting for the
amendment, eliminate the negro from
politics in North Carolina, and then
whatever party comes into power in
North Carolina, whether it be the
Democrats or the Republicans, we
will have good and intelligent gov
ernment, and no one will feel ashamed
of his State or county on account Of
the men who are elected to execute
the laws and administer the affairs of
government Cdrolin,an.

NOT ON ACCOUNT OF COLOR.

The State can require any reason
able qualification in her voters, such
as the educational test. If one negro
votes because of his education, not
because of his color, then another
negro fails to vote for the lack of edu-
cation, not on account of his color.
He must have the educational quail
tication in Massachusetts. They ad-
NIT that it is all right there and that
the lack of education prevents voting.
Here they say under our amendment
that it will be the color that prevents
the ignorant negro from voting,
although he might vote if he had the
same educational qualification as re-
quired in Massachusetts. Here every
one, without any denial, though he
be black as midnight, who has the re-
quired qualifications, will be voter
under the amendment.-W w. .Kitchin

A NECESSITY.

When the horde of incompetent
citizens was thrust upon the State,
and the act ratified by force of war
reiudices and reconstruction order,
our State accepted the situation in
good faith, and from that time for
ward, has done all that was possible
to develop this mass of ignorant and
unaspiring people into good and safe
citizens. Through one entire gene
ration, the State has labored at great
costs to prepare this new element for
the discharge of the duties of citizen
ship with credit to themselves and
with safety to the State. But after
thirty years of patient and costly ex-
pertinent we are compelled for once
to agree with the most brilliant
leader the Republican party ever had,
and to confess that the wholesale and
indiscriminate conferment of suf-
frage upon men who were not pre-
pared for it, was a fatal mistake

The pretty young girls With tlc.r bright
eyes and in dainty dresses, waving gay
fans, made the seats between the dances
look as if invaded by Il flock of butterflies,
and the music, by Miss Holly Hill and
Miss Clagctt, so well served the the pur-
pose, there was scarcely a pause between
two-step, waltz and lancers. The refresh
ments were furnished by the young people
and the invitations were verbal and in
formal.

Tucker Par,lOnG.i.

On Thursday last Governor Smith gram
ted il pardon to Asa Hamilton Tucker,
who was convicted of the murder of Lloyd
Vermillinn at the October term of the
circuit court for this county, in 1895, and
sentenced to nine years and six months
in the Maryland penitentiary. Mr.. James
c. Rogers, of Hyattsville, as attorney for
Tucker, presented the case to the Cover
nor on Thursday and forthwith placed
the Governors pardon in the hands of
Warden Weyler, returning the same day
with Tucker.
The mysterious killing Of Errmiliion
was the most sensational incident of re
cent criminal history of this county.
Tucker with Ben Lawson and Lloyd
Vermillion, all white men of this neigh
borhood started for their homes after
attending a primary meeting, and the
next morning the dead body of Vermillion
was found opposite the priests home.
Suspicion was directed toward Tucker
and Lawson. They were arrested. and
Lawson had his case removed to Mont
gomery where he was convicted and son
fenced to Il years and 6 months in Tue
penitentiary. Tucker was tried and re-
ceived the sentence above indicated.
Attorney Rogers has worked faithfully in
behalf of his client and is muched elated
over securing fuckers pardon.

Improving the Roads.

Joseph A. Blundon, president of the
Road Commissioners, under the new law
with Mcssrs Reid and Johnson, of the
Geological Survey, and Director Harry j.
Patterson, of the Maryland Agricultural
Experiment Station, will drive over the
Baltimore and Washington turnpike be-
tween the District of Columbia line and
Lakewood this week to formulate plans
for improving the hi ghway. Mr.. Blundon
has secured the free use of the District of
Columbia stone roller He intends to eX-
pend $4,000 of the $4,000 license fund
that has been levied for the roads in this
comfy, on the turnpike. The road will
be widened to 60 feet, ditched on both
sides and heavily gravcled from the Dis
trict of Columbia line excluding Bladeds-
burg and Hyattsyille, which are incorpor
ated towns and are expected to keep their
own roads in thorough repair. The mon
ey set apart for this work will probably
extend the Improvement to Lakelend.
The pike is constantly used by all truckers
in the upper end of the county, and should
be made to furnish a beautiful drive from
Washin gton, Laurel and other places pass
able in winter and not to be ashamed of
in the worst possible weather. The farm
ers in Evansville district expect to have
the good work advanced through that
neighborhood next year.

the diseased portions of the ear. There
is only one way to cure Deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an intlamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets intlamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy

Condition of Crops.

The following statements are based
upon reports to the climate and crop ser
vice of the Weather Bureau
Rain is very greatly needed III the
Atlantic coast district north of Florida,
the drought being quite severe i'll the
CaroinaS, New Jersey, and portions Of
New England, while too much rain has
fallen over portions of the central valleys,
Northern Texas, the Central Gulf States,
and Northern Florida. Very favorable
temperature conditions have prevailed
during the week, except in the Middle
Atlantic States, upper Missouri Valley,
and over portions of Washing ton and Ore
gon, where unusually high temperatures
have been detrimental to crops.
While the condition of corn in Kansas
and Nebraska has improved, the reports
indicate that much of the early crop in
portions of these States has been serious
ly injured by drought In the other great
corn States of the central valleys the crop
has made rapid growth under highly fav-
orabe conditions. Throughout the Allan
tic coast districts corn is generally in need
of rain.
Rains have intcrfercd with threshing
and the completion of winter wheat har-
vest where unfinished over the more
northcry sections of the central valleys,
but the conditions have been highly ia
vorahle for harvesting in the Middle At
iantc States and on the North Pacific
coast In the central valleys and Lake
region harvesting and threshing have not
only been delayed, but rains have caused
injury to grain in shock in portion of
these districts.
Hayin@ has been interrupted and the
crop damaged to some extent by rains in
the central valleys. In New York and
New England haying is practically fin
ished the yield in New York being better
than expected.
In the Carolnas and Virginia tobacco
has suffered for rain, late rains having
improved the crop in Maryland. In the
other tobacco sections the condition Of
the crop is promising.
