There was no demand at that inquire
and the price quickly broke to 659sc,
where some support from shorts
steadied the market. May worked up
to &c, but lost its hold again, as prl-
mary receipts were heavy and the
visible disappointed holders by show
ing an increase. May sold Off to

maud. The market steadied and

ing only a shade under the more dis
tant future. Receipts were 656 cars,

WHAT DOES IT MEAN

For three months and more we haTs
urged the farmers not TO sell their cotton
except on the basis of a nine million bale
crop. Until three or four wee ks ago,
Price, Mccormick & Co, we'll known
cotton men of New York. did more 10
help the farmers than any other cotton
firm in the country About a month ago,
in the face Of all they had before adj
yised, they flooded the country with adj
yertisements urging the farmers TO sell
inasInuch as ~ cents was fair price.
The farmers did not rush thelr cotton
on the market, as was expected, but
needed the earlier rather than the later
advice of the New York firm. Yester-
day we received the following telegram:
Editor News and Observer. Raleigh,

TO the Editor The campaign OF 1900
will mark the mighty struggle. Butler
with his black cohorts 10000 strong,
combined with scattering White-skln-
ned-drifting-vote who care nothing for
themselves and less for the good name of
North Carolina and her good women
should put the White Mans Party" on
its guard and no man should receive the
nomination for any office who Will not
bravely fight for what is just, honest and
for the best interest of our State These
Things and his fitness for the office TO
which he is nominated should guide our
selection. together with their logical can
didacy for the position.
BERTHE county has had no office ON the
State ticket since the war, and this year
for the reascn that we have the man for
the place and who is able to meet every
requirement in the coming struggle and
who will also strengthen the State ticket
we will offer the name of the Hon.
Francis II. Winston For the reason
alone, the part he played in the last cam
paign should be sufficient TO stamp
the States approval on this
gifted son. Mr.. Winston VINO
enjoys large practice, closed his
: office last fall during the whole cam
paign, only coming home when he felt
like he could snatch the occasion, de-
voting his whole time to the service OF
the party His voice was heard on every
stump, especially where the Democracy &
forces seemed weakest and then he would
fly to the councils Of his party at Raj
eigh advising and deyising plans for our
success.
He was outspoken.
He was bold.
He was fearless.
He was aggressive.
lie was eloquent.
He was logical.
He was daring.
He was argumentative.
He was convincing.
Mr.. Winston gave his time, his talents
and he gave his money to tho success OF
his party.
He was engaged in the work Of organic
ing the White Government Union" for
several weeks.
His candidacy for the legislature in
BERTHE county was undertaken, as he
undertakes everything, with the deter
mination to win. And he did win.
His work in the Legislature is known
all over the State.
He is not the candidate of BERTHE alone,
but if the State values work dome for
her at large, she will nominate him at
once in the Democratic State Conven-
ton for the office Of Attorney General.
He is eminently fitted for this office and
will render the State valuable service.
AS lawyer he is the equal of any man
in the East and if he is not at the top
Of the legal profession he will easily be
his master. These qualifications speak at
once of his eminent fitness for the place.

The friends of the aSsassinated man
will say that like Caesar he was the
victim of men who knew that SO long as
he lived, he was the greatest influence
in the State and so lowered above them
that they had no cause of promo
ton. They will see parallel
in their deaths, each dying in or near
the Senate chamber where they were
won't to stand for the peoples rights.
His enemies will say that he mat his
death because he used his power for sel-
fish ends and unworthy purposes. All
will agree that he was a man Of ability,
resource and courag &c, one who would not
shrink from any encounter with any an
tagonist. To think that a man OF such
a type should be shot from ambush Is
enough ito move the stones to nputiny.
For several years, particularly for the
past year, Mr.. Goebels every act has
been under the calcium light. In private
life no charge has been made against
his rectitude except that he killed Col.

the killing was done in self defense ln

being the author OF dishonest election

The Washington Star quotes Senator
Davis, of Minnesota as saying that THE
fifth section of the North Carolina Con-

constitutional, but that the remaining sec
lions of the amendment could be con-
strued Independently, and that IN such
case the educational test would of course
apply to both the whites and blacks"
Senator Davis is but repeating what
other Republicans have said. We have
not found q lawyer who agreed With such
q construction of the amendment. 1t
is in fact zone and inseperable, now anu
forever LIN view, however, Of the fact
that the people are not constitutional
lawyers, the Legislature when 1t meets
in June will doubtless add another sec
ton, as suggested by Judge Brown, MAX
ing it clear that not even the meanest
revenue doodle and ''gauger' can de-
ceive any unlettered man in the State.
In point of fact, as Judge Brown says.
the amendment as it reads must stand or
fall as q whole, but since the advocates
of Negro Rule pretend to believe 1t can
be construed into an educational Qlal1fl-
cation amendment, Judge Browns suS-
gested section would shut their mouths
effectually, and they would have TO hunt
some other, lie to hide their real ground
of hostility to the amendment which Is
I'VE need the negro as a voter TO keep
us in office"
The amendment is submitted to rid the
State of an hundred thousand negro
voters. 1t Will not disfranchise single
white man. When the Legislature meets
in June it can he relied on 10 make any
change or addition necessary to show ev-
cry white voter that he is fully and for

THE AMENDMENT rs FOR THE
GOOD OF ALL.

no political measure has ever been
more likely to promote universal good
than the proposed Amendment TO our
State Constitution intended TO restrict
negro suffrage. 1t is for the good OF all,
and all good men should be for 1t. 1t is
wise, is is just, it is necessary. 1t will
allay strife and promote peace. LIT will
free the white man from the Sllackles of
an awful fear and enable him TO run
the race OF civilization nnfettered. 1t
will puu the false scales from the Negroes
eyes and enable him to learn by expert
ence and not by legislation, how 10 be
a man and useful citizen. Democrat,
Populist, Republican and negro. all of
them, at least all that are honest and
anxious for real progress will find reason
to vote for the amendment. There is no
real reason 10 vote against RI. The false
reasons, the dolnagosic reasons that are
being urged against it, are samples Of
the sort of politics we have had for
thirty years, and the sort we are likely
TO have so long as the negro enjoys UNI
restricted suffrage. Everybody knows
that the vast majority OF negroes have
no business voting Even the negro
knows it. Let negro suffrage, therefeue,
be restricted.
The white people. Of North Caorhna in
tends to reste.ldt it. The Republican
leaders declare it shall not be done.
They eavor negro suffrage and all its
liz. They say the ignorant negro is
AZ good as the Ignorant white" They
wall find out the difference in the cam
paign and at the polls iney pretend to
be friends of the poor whites" and yet
say he is no better than a negro. '
Away with such hypocrites.!
Every good man in the State will be
helped by the Amendment and every
good man in the State should support it.
