The advocates Of the amendment
say no white man shall be disfran-
chised; that they are willing that ev-
cry white man shall vote and have
his vote counted as cast. If that be
true, then they will not abuse aad
try to intimidate white men during
the campaign and on election day.
They did that two years ago. They
actually threatened good white men
if they did not vote with them and
come to the election, they would kill
them. When good white men, sober
men, Christian men have to be
threatened by drunken roughs, men
who write them threatening letters
with no name signed to them, their
political and religious liberty has
gone to seed in this country.

stituti"n of North Carolina by insert
ing among the disqualidcations for

If the Democratic Legislature which
meets in June will offer this safe, con
stitutiOnal and wholesome amendment
inilieu of the present scheme it will
have our hearty support. If they will
not, we appea, to the people to rally to
our assistance to elect q Legislature

supreme Cou-t in the case of Harris
VS.. wright (l2t N C. r., 172), declar,
ing that the General Assembly has
power to provide different systems of
county government for various coun-
ties OF the State. Acting under this
decision, we pledge the Peoples Party
to the maintenance of the system of
local self-government in all the white
counties, towns and cities in the State
as established by the General Assem-
bly, of 1896, and at the same time to
provide and maintain Legislative sys-
TEN OF coonty government for all the
negro counties Of the State, so that
there can never be any question that
the white people shall always have full
and complete control of county in the
State.
We denounce the Democratic Le9is-
lature Of 1899 for passing an election
law. every provision of which, is care
fully and cunningly planned and de-
v1sed to thwart the sovereign will OF
the people OF North Carolina by whole
sale fraud and debauohery of the bal

THE SERVANT GIRL IS HUMAN
And Should Be Treated With as Much Con-
sideration as Other MortaIs.

I'm looking after your servant do not
overlook the fact that she is woman,
and very human, with all the likes and
dislikes, the love of pleasure, rest and
recreation possessed by other human
beings" writes Mrs. S. T. Rorer in the
May Ladies Home Journal "If she has
not had the advantages of education, and
knows but little of the world, remember
that she is so much the more to be pitied
Women, as class, from lack of proper
training, are not businesslike. The house
wife retains the responsibility of all the
detail work rather than give it over to
her servant; hence the lack of interest
and responsibility on the part of the aver
age maid. If the housewife would but
allow her servant to become responsible
for the great bulk of the detail work
much confusion would be avoided. Per
sons become responsible only by having
responsibility placed upon them, and ser
wants, as a rule, feel the importance OF
their work according to the trust which
! Is reposed i'll them and the responsibility
which is placed on them"

quest at an early date and evident desire
to reimburse the county for the amounts
so unacconnted for, has acted in manner
! calculated to impress the board with his

"The Chinese have strange idea of
table delicacies," said q gentleman of
this city who has taken much inter est
in local mission work. ga few days
ago I received small jar filed with a
peculiar brownish paste, which was
sent me as q present by a young Chi
naman who used to have a laundry
here, but is now living in San Fran
cisco. A letter which accompanied
the gift explained that the paste was
combination of peanut buds and gin
ger jelly. That sounds like joke, but
it isn't. If you will break open the kerr
mel of peanut you will find at the
base little cone-shaped formation
usually surmounted by two micro
scopic leaves. 1t is the life germ of
the nut, and, if planted, would de-
velop into tree. AS my friend Wong
explained to me, the nuts are first

small it takes many thousands of them
to fill tea. cup, but when a sufficient
number is collected they are put in a
mortar and ground into fine -four,
which is subsequently mixed with
the ginger jelly and rubbed down to q
smooth paste. That sent me was about
the consistency of cream cheese, and
it had O peculiar aromatic taste that
was rather pleasant. It is one of the
queer semi i-confections that the Chi

A westbound Fort street car stopped
near the city hall. Among the alight-
ing passengers were two women, who
were soon hurrying in opposite direc-
tions. Suddenly the conductor, who
had not yet given the starting signal.
noticed an apparently fat, yet shabby
looking purse lying upon the plat
form.
"Hey!" he yelled. (Which one of
you ladies dropped her pocketbook?" ?"
"Hey!" called the harsh voice of a
newsboy, dropped yer money!
Then others took up the hue and
cry and boys and men started in pur-
suit of the disappearing women, while
the conductor held the purse in one
hand and nervously fingered the bell.

made an amusing street picture. Fin

Two chemists OF the University OF
Edinburgh have analyzed the stun
used in Africa as a poison for arrow
heads and which never yet has been
examined chemically. This poison is
extracted by boiling the roots and
stems of plant called asocanthora
shimperi, and the poison is named aso-
cantherin. The plant belongs to fam
lily of poison plants called apocynum,
to which belong the oleander, stro-
phantes, dog cabbage and many other
varieties. The action of the arrow

ordinary degree. and Immediately af-
fects the heart, which in strong doses

when the heart became paralyzed the
