CURRENT TOPICS.

The Democrats Of North Carolina recent
primary, and, from all that we can gather,
they are by no means pleased with it. The
Raleigh Morning Post of a recent issue
printed interviews with a, number Of Demo-
cratic members OF the General Assembly
and leading party men, and, with few e1-
ceptions, they all said that they were OPP
posed to this method OF choosing Senators
in Congress. Many of them said that they
believed in primary elections, generally
speaking. and preferred them to con-
ventions but that in the election of Sena-
tors in Congress they thought it better to
proceed in the old way. The primary

dominant party is in 50 great q, majority
that its nominations are equivalent TO an
election, but it is not prudent to have
hot family fight. to wage a bitter cam
paign among ourselves just before a cam
paign against a common enemy. The ex-
periences of this year have demonstrated
that two elections are one too many in
the same year, and that the voters will
not take as much interest in the second
election as in the first"
Another said: no more primary cleo
tons, if you please. Sufficient unto the
day are the evils thereof. fail to see the
good accomplished in this Innovation
And still another said Il am not and
never have been in favor OF Senatorial
primaries. / believe that the choice of
Senator can be left to the peoples repre-
sentatves in the General Assembly with
more probability of proper selection being
made than by the people themselves in a
primary.
This is the tenor OF nearly all the in
terviews published.

ultimate struggle for the now great

Southern business. The Southern people
had a long and terrible struggle to re-
cover from the devastation OF war that
left them utterly impoverished, and their
fields and channels of business desolate;
but they have fought a great battle for
industrial progress under the most dis

development OF Southern wealth is more
rapid than at any time in the past.

from the issue sent US. published in Octo-
Der, 1900. an article headed "Such a Sen
timent VIII Not VIM which will be
found in another column. The editor of
this paper, named E. w. Williams, and
Booker Washington have got more sense
than al: the other negroes put together
who have figured in any way before the

we quote is full Of the soundest sense.
and if al. the negroes in the South would

Infinitely better for the negroes.
This negro is perfectly right when he
tells his fellow negroes that the greatest
blow the negro ever received was given
him by Congressional enactments,f the
chief of which, as he says, was the un-
con6,t ional imposition of the right o.

white people will reply in kind by show

solid body of negroes, and then we shall
have an election controlled by violence,

Why cannot the people of the North see
that this is the inevitable result Of the
