SPIRIT OF THE PRESS,
THE MORNING LIGHT.
Pilot Virginian.

Pilot Virginian.
Virginia sends her greetings to the Old
North State. The bright light Of day
has broken; the morning sun of a new era
is opening up in all of it's glory and beau
ty. We congratulate the good people
of the State upon the orderly and peace
full manner in which white supremacy has
been accomplished. We congratulate
them upon it's real accomplishment, for it
means much more than casual observer
would suppose.
For the white man, it means an order
ly and business government, creating re-
spect at home and commanding admira-
tion abroad. 1t means that scalawags
and carpet-baggers, who have led the
Carolina negro into so much trouble, will
be forever relegated to the rear. 1t
means that issues will be settled upon
their merits, and men will be elected on
account of qualification. 1t means a
new era and happy and peaceful one,
free from the riots and disgrace of the
past.

THE LAST OF HIS KIND.

Atlanta Constitution.
Governor Russell Of North Carolina,
will become notable hereafter as the last
of his kind.
Every country has it's bloodless and
soulless men, who have lost all respect
for kindred and all love for the tradi-
tions of ancestry. North Carolina can
afford to close the list with the name
of the man who was callous even un-
der the. appeal of the women of his State.

THE CONFIDENCE WILL NOT BE
ABUSED.

ION the day of the election" said
Judge w. r. Allen, 81 went to a coun-
try district in Wayne county. A man
who could not read or write came up
to the polls. He told me that at first
he was strongly opposed to the amend
ment and intended to vote against it,
but after hearing my explanation he
had decided to trust the Democrats.
He added, i don't know that / under
stand it now, but T will vote for it
and if anything happens so | can't
vote | will look to you to see me
through And then he voted for the
amendment. 1t was the trust reposed
in the Democratic party by the illit-
crate voters that enabled the Demo-
Gratis to win. We must not be unwor-
thy of their confidence"
Judge Aliens experience will be par
alleled by that of every other Demo-
cratic speaker and worker in the
hundreds of uneducated white men in
North Carolina who were opposed to
the amendment because they did not
understand it. During the campaign
many of them were convinced that
it was a wise measure and gave it
their hearty support. But there were
hundreds more who voted for it on
faith. They were not certain about
it and up to the last day they had
| misgivings, but they trusted in the
| promise of the Democratic leaders
man. Some of them never could eN-
| actly see how it would work out, but
they accepted the positive assurances
of the leaders of the party to which
they belonged. Such faith is warrant
ed, because the Democratic party has
always stood for white manhood SUI
remember that it was the Democratic
party that removed a property quail
fication toYote for Senators, and that
recollection helped this generation
Of Democrats.
The faith reposed by the uneducat-
ed voters in North Carolina will not
be abused. The Democratic party will
not permit any man among them to
lose his vote, and it will use its most
strenuous eXertions to see thai his
children are educated, not alone that
Int haf 10
better equipped in the struggle of life
To this end the leaders with voice
and pen, the Governor and all State
officials, the legislators-elect and all
Democrats who regard their sacred
promises will begin a revival OF edu-
cation and not let it lag until there
is a good and efficient school within
| the reach of every child in the State.
The responsibility imposed by the
trust of the men who cannot read is
one that transcends all others and to
its perfect fulfillment everything else
must and will be made secondary. If
any Democrat could become inditfer-
ent to the responsibility that is insep-
arabic from the confidence of these
voters, he would be unworthy to be-
long to the great party that has en-
dured one hundred years because. re-
fusing all support that demanded
special privilege, it has stood for the
equal rights of the humblest as well
as the richest. of the unlettered as
well as the educated. That is its
glory and it's strength in State and
Nation.
