WHAT HAS BECOME OF THEM?

With a great flourish of trumpets
Senator Pritchard few months ago
introduced in the Senate a resolution
declaring in substance that the Con-
stiutional Amendment pending in
North Carolina was unconstitutional,
&c. And he made a long-winded
that before Congress adjourned that
the resolution ito instruct the SUI
preme Court would be adopted by
that body and the North Carolina
Amendment would be thus given a
solar plexus blow.
Butler said ''Me Too"
The Senate adjourned leaving that
famous resolution pigeon-holed, show
ing that though they talk glibly about
the Amendment being demonstrations
al in North Carolina, in Washington
they either have no influence in the
Senate or the Senators understood
that the resolutions were introduced
as buncombe for home consumption
and never treated them seriously.
The Fusionists are mum" about
it themselves, though a little while
ago they were boasting that "Pritch-
ards resolutions" would sound the
death-knell of the Amendment.
When introduced this paper said the
Senate would not stultify itself by
passing such resolutions, that they
were introduced for buncombe and
would never be voted on. 1t took no
spirit of prophecy to make this pre-
diction which has been verified.

We take peculiar pleasure in con-
graduating Mr.. Charles L. Williams,
of Portsmouth, Va, upon the double
good fortune that came to him yester-
day. He was married to one of Ports
mouths loveliest daughtersa and pro-
NOTED to an important position on
the Seaboard Air Line with head
quarters at Jacksonville, Fla. Two
promotions in one day are rather
more than any one man deserves,
but no cool fortune undeserved could
come to Mr.. Williams He began his
business career as book-keeper on the
State Chronicle, then edited by the
present editor of the News and Obser-
yer, and this paper has ever rejoiced
at his steady and deserved promo
ton. He is one of the first railroad
men of the South among the young
men.

AYCOCK AND SPRU|L
Fervid, Eloquent Addresses
Arouse Moore's People.
New Strength Injected mo the Campaign by
F. S. Spru, One of the Foremost
Orators of The State.
Especial to News and Observer


Carthage, N. c., July 17.-At Pittsboro
yesterday and Carthage today Mr.. Ay-
F. S. Spruill. Mr.. Spruill is not only the
idol of Franklin county, but one of the
foremost orators in the State. Ornate,
earnest fervent, thrilling, always per-
spicuous and chaste, he holds and pleases
his audience as few men can do. He
was introduced by w. e. Murchison to-
day, and was the first speaker. His
speech covered the causes and condition
which led to the proposed amendment.
He spoke for an hour and half. His
speech was eloquent, interesting, convinc
ing and warmly applauded.
Mr.. Patterson followed in a short speech.
Hon. w. P. Wood, of Asheboro, candidate
for the Senate, introduced Aycock. He
said, Il had understood that Moore was
doubtful, but after spending some weeks
in the county l am prepared to tell you
that it will go Democratic by five hun
dred.
AS the time till the arrival of the train
was short Aycock spoke less than an
hour He discussed the amendment in
detail. His discussion Of this phase was
a masterpiece. He kept his audience in
roars of laughter and shouts Of approval
from start to finish. He was at his best.
The strain of doing all the speaking
heretofore has been intense, and the relief
of Mr.. Spruill seems to put new springs
into him. He was sent to Mr.. Aycock
by the Executive Committee for this pur-
.oI l.I Il
came with a large crowd.
The Seaboard Air Line band of Ports
mouth upon their arrival DOTTED their
splendid red uniforms and donned spot
less white. At II o'clock the procession
formed at the Summit Hotel. First came
the chief marshals with lady escorts on
horseback. Next an immense long float
containing the thirty EIGHT members of
the band, drawn by six mules. Next fol-
lowed the carriage with Aycock, Chairman
Mcdonald and Judge McIver. Then a
beautiful white float, filled with ladies
with the inscription white Supremacy"
Protect US" Then came carriages con-
tanning MesSrs. Patterson and Spruill and
prominent local politicians. Next another
float of ladies with the inscription. I'VE
are with you" Then long line of We
hicles, followed by a horseback parade.
The procession made a long detour
through the resident portion of the town
and back to the park near Judge Nc
I.ser's residence. The speakers stand
was erected under large trees facing the
seats on abruptly rising ground so that
everybody could see. At one side was
another platform for the band, which fur
nished the best music heard in this cam
paign. 1t has been great day in Moore's
history. From twenty-five hundred to
three thousand people listened to the
speaking. There is need of much hard
work here, but the people are thoroughly
aroused and making vigorous fight
Here as elsewhere, the amendment is
the issue and will win.

FEDERAL INTERFERENCE.

Southern Republicans run after the
Federal Court just like the negroes
hung on to the Federal soldier after
the war. They think the Federal
Courts were ordained to put them in
office whether elected or not, and
they would thousand times rather
have a Federal judge on their side
than right, justice or a certificate of
election.
To show how these Radical politi-
clans base all their hope on Federal
Interference it is only needed to call
attention to the talk they are indulg-
ing in now with reference to what
Judge Boyd will do. To hear them
talk one would suppose the new and
unconfirmed Federal judge was en-
dowed with the powers of Gar, that
State lines had been abolished, and
that the Federal government was
supreme in the control of elections
for State and local officers. Judge
DOyu VIII w lIIos ullll OuIiSC DOyu
will do that" we are told, and then
the Democrats are expected to throw
up their hands and surrender to the
negro party in fear that the new
judge will eXcommunicate them, cut
off their ears, or kill them after the
horrible manner that the Boxers eX-
ecuted their vengeance on the Rus
sian Minister. Judge Boyd has read
law and is presumed to know where
the Federal jurisdiction begins. 1t is
not supposed by any sensible man
that he will signalize his judicial
beginning by being to the Radical
whipper-snappers what Simonton is
to the great corporations that control
him. The recent decision by the SUI
preme Court of the United States in
the Kentucky case shows that our
greatest tribunal makes it's decisions
in the light of Constitutional limita-
tions. The pretense that there is a
Federal question involved in the Au-
gust election is so ridiculous that
none but Southern Radicals would in
woke it's aid.

EARNING HIS MONEY.
The South Dakota Importation Pleases the Ne
groes Nightly.
Especial to News and Obse

(Speclal TO news ana observer
Kinston, N. c., July 17.-Hon. j. E. Kel-
ley, of South Dakota, chaperoned by Mr..
J.. NJ Mewborne' put in his appearance
at this place and spoke to about 500 per-
sons in the court house here, about half
of which were negroes, two thirds of the
whites were Democrats
Kelley spoke about an hour and a half
and devoted his whole speech to the
amendment which he conclusively proved
CD unconstitutional. He is an artful
plausible speaker and knows how to per-
vert facts and to get the most out of
them. After refusing to divide time with
Hon. F. l. Osborne he declared that no
Democrat dare meet him and discuss the
issues of the day. He was very much
applauded by the negroes, and one old one
arose in the midst OF his speech and
asked to be permitted to give ''de speak
err a few pints,' but Mr.. Kelley ignored
him by failing CD to see him.
Lenoir is solid~afor the amendment by
at least five hundred majority and no
importations can prevent it.
Some of the boys here say Nthey are
going to paint the ballot boxes one half
black and the other white to illustrate
the issues to the voter.

ALL TOGETHER NOW.

The news from Washington that the
President and his cabinet will leave
no stone unturned to protect all Amer
leans in China is what was expected.
1t will meet with universal approval,
AMI is in keeping with the sentiment
of the American people.
The China affair is the most dread
full in the worlds history. 1t be-
hooves America, with patriotic ardor,
to embark in the work of redressing
our wrongs, while steadfastly oppos-
ing imperialism and territorial ag-
erosion.
There is suggestion that the Eu-
ropeans in Pekin first put their wo-
men and children to death and then
themselves persisted.
When the Jews were expelled from
England, some fifteen hundred of
them were collected in their quarters
in York. After undergoing fearful
sufferings, they put their women and
children to death and then them
selves embraced death, the high
priest being the last to die. As, Dis
raeli relates it in his "Curiosities of
Literature" it was most pathetic
affair, and it is the only parallel to
the affair at Pekin.
Men who could die as Americans
and Europeans at Pekin give fresh
proof of the nobility of man. The
protection of others living in China
is the sacred duty of the republic-a
''plain duty" which the whole people
feels rests upon us, and which ought
not to be delayed a moment.

THE HEAD DEVILS.

Chairman Simmons has in letter
to President Mckinley given strong
Indictment of the Federal office-hold-
ers in the State. His letter is mag
nificent and if Mckinley had any re-
gard for his civil service pledge he
would promptly put an end to the
conduct of his office-holders. They are
the inspiration, head and front and
instigators of all the deviltry in the
State, and Mr.. Simmons has stated the
case against them mildly.

The baby's name is Robert Van Norden
Hinc, son of Judge and Mrs. r. c. Hine.
OF this city. He was born in St. Paul,
May %. 1899. Through his mother he is
descended from John and Priscilla Alden,
of Plymouth Mass. His great great
grandfather on her side was one of the
original founders of the Shaker society at
Lebanon, N. Y. His great great grand
father on his fathers side was a majrr
in New Jersey regiment in the Revo-
lutionary war Another of his great
grandfathers fought in that war under
Rendict Arnold So the baby comes of a.
good old Puritan stock, stock that has
fashioned many a hero.
There may be Some who will claim that
John Alden himself was slightly wanting
IN courage, butt history records only one
occasion when be was backward about
speaking for hinTselfiand then-well, there
were extenuattiig circumstances. His
