MURDER ON THE SHORT LINE.
A Colored Man Instantly Kills his As
sociate in a game OF Craps.

Some five or six colored men have
been murdered on the Short Line rail-
road, since the construction Of the
road began. They have been en-
ployces of the road, and the casualties
have been committed in the main at
the hands of colored people. Sunday
another murder was committed. Two
negroes were shooting craps at thesec-
ond camp on the New Martinsville
end. They had difficulty and one
shot the other, killing him instantly.
The murderer escaped and will likely
not be apprehended.

Sentiment in this county practically favors
Mai. A. c. Moore for Judge of this judicial circuit
and tie county executive committee wisely dis
pensed with the holding of primaries and adopted
resolution delegating all Harrison county republi-
cans attending the convention toact in the seec-

the other countess the prospects for his nomination
are bright

Congressman B. B. Dovener, upon his visit
here Emancipation Day, expressed himself as
highly gratified with the outlook for republican
success in this congressional district, as well as
throughout the entire state Captain Dovener has
begun vigorous and aggressive campaign, as has
been his custom in the past. He mas made already
several speeches in the Pan Handle counties
and will tour the counties along the W. Va. &
Pitts branch of the B. & o. the next week or SO,
reaching Harrison county after that, when our
own county people at various points will have an
opportunity to hear him. The Telegram is pleased
10 call attention to the fact that his work for the
party in campaign years is of the same high and
effective character as his labors in congress have
been for his constituents.

An illustration which comes close to home
we'll shows us where the confidence of the bust
ness men is placed. In a recent conversation with
. prominent business man from Parkersburg we
were told that large enterprise for which the
charter has been secured. for location at Clarks.
burg, was now pending on account of one of the
chief stockholders position. This gentleman says
that no enterprise such as wholesale boot and
shoe establishment can expect toprosper after the
election Of VIM. ]. Bryan. This is true state
ment and shows how chsrry all capital is upon the
question.

Allison Bartlett, the old war-horse republican
of Coal district was in the city the other day talk
ing politics. 'Theyoutjockeyed me on some of my
men in the convention but am such black re-
publican. that ifthey would drop me at the head
of the Mississippi river, you could dip your pen
in the water anywhere between there and the gulf
of Mexico and write your name with it." There is
nothing too good for Allison.

No young man in this state can afford to cast
his lot with the democratic party. Don't belong
to party that is looking backward. Republican
principles are right and the state is safely in the
republican column. The great resources of the
state cannot be developed under policies advocated
by Mr. Bryan. Upon the rapid development Of
the states resources largely depends your future.
Cast your first vote for the party of progress and
prosperity.

Sprague of Louisiana, and is at the Hotel Sanz. He has been hereabout d week and has been busy sightseeing and studying, as much as possible, the conditions of the coun- try He has been particularly in- terested In the manner in which the laws of the country are enforced and the manner in which trials are con- ducted On Tuesday afternoon visit was arranged, by appointment, to the supreme court of Mexico. Judge Wal lace was accompanied to the court by Judge Ignacio Sepulveda, one of his old California friends. There was no trial on the docket, so a special ses- sion of the court was convened in or der to give Judge Wallace an oppor- tunity to meet the justices. This is very high honor and it is said has never been extended to any American before, save Secretary of State W. H. Seward during his visit to Mexico many years ago.

THE NEW AMENDED AMENDMENT,

Fall Text of the Proposed Constitutional

sembly, June IS, 900.
Several important changes in the
Amendment were made by the Legis-
Iature in session, Wednesday,, June
18th.

cational Clause, and Section >, con-
tanning the grandfather" clause
we're consolidated.
3. Time for paying poll tax was
changed from March l to May 1.
3. This provision in the original

ment now submitted Con the ground
that by it the school fund might lose

collection of the same except against
assessed proper"
4. 1t is declared that the amend
ment is 'indivisible'' and must
stand or fall as a whole.
5. A majority of the votes cast
will be sufficient to adopt the amend
ment-nOt a majority of qualified"
voters, as in original draft.
The proposed Constitutional
Amendment, as corrected June 10,
1900, reads as follows:
That Article VI. of the COnstitu-
ton of North Carolina be, and the
same is hereby abrogated and in lieu
thereof shall be substituted the fol
lowing article Of said Constitution
