LETS THEUAT OUT OF THE BAG TOO

The Charlotte Observer in an ed
itorial a few days ago said:
"The struggle Of the white people
OF North Carolina. to rid themselves
Of the danger of the rule of negroes
and the lower class of whites is be-
ing watched with interest outside
the State. The Column bia State, for
instance, says that "South Carolina
people are much interested in the
campaign for white supremacy In
North Carolina and are hoping for
success" and further: We trust
our friends across the border will
| not be disappointed in the result.
they are making a good fight-a
fight worthy of North Carolina
Democrats" For the interest and
prayers of our outside friends we
owe them thanks"
The old Ransom and Simmons
machine has always looked down
on the masses of the people as a
"lower class, and besides they have
always feared the votes Of the com.
mon people, because they were with
Vance and against Ransom and
SIMMONS We have felt satisfied
all along that il was their inten-
ton, if they could fool the people
into adopting this DISTINGUISHING
amendment, then to put next a
property qualification upon the vo,
ters.
Inc wealthy, machine and aristo-
cratic clement in every state want
to limit suffrage. They not only
want to disfranchise the illiterate
voter, but they specially want to
get rid OF the voter who has not a
certain amount of property. Their
position is that to protect their
own wealth they must take the
ballot from those voters who are
not rich or have at least considera-
BILE property. While we have
known that this was to be the next
part OF their disfranchising scheme,
yet we are surprised that the Char
lotte Observer should admit it
now. 1t was clearly a slip of I'll e
pen. Or course, the Charlotte OBJ
server, when its attention is called
to tie matter, will deny it. But
who Will believe it's denial? Did 1t
not deny in the last cam paign that
they would attempt to disfranchise
any body? The voters will not be
fooled again.

THE BLUNDERIN0 AND UNCONsTI
TUTIONAL LE9lsLATURE.

The Raleigh Post, few days ago
referring to the adjourned session
Of the Legislature, which met Tues
day, says:
ut may be developed by next
week that a further adjournment
until, say, July Is or %, may be
necessary. We throw this out 80 II
may be under consideration"
The Post, seeing the many mis-
takes, laundering and unconstitu-
tional acts Of the last session Of the
legislature, thinks 1t will be neces-
sary for them to meet again soon
to correct the mistakes 1t will be
sure to make this.
The Post Is no doubt right, but
what reflection 1t is on the mem.
bers Of that body.
No other legislature since the
foundation Of the State has ever
made so many serious blunders OF
passed so many unconstitutional
laws, and besides no other legisla.
ture has ever been guilty of break
ing 80 many solemn pledges. The
people will pass judgment on them
in August.

wADDELL AND HIS GUN.

A gentleman sends US the fol-
lowing: "The Liberty Register, a
Democratic paper, published at
Liberty, Randolph county, in Its
issue of June the 9Th, 1900, in an
editorial giving an account of Col
A. M. Waddell's speech at that
place Wednesday, June 9th, quotes
him as follows:
'Tf you go to the polls and vote
against the amendment you are ar
enemy to me and my wife and you
and your wife, and ought to be
made to transact your business
with negroes, and I AM WILLING
TO SHOULDER MY GUN TC
MAKE YOU DO IT."
The above Is an exact copy of the
article. The paper in which II
appears Is on file and can be pro
duced at any time. W. 8. q.
There are thousands of as brave
men as the sun ever tanned, who
will vote against the amendment

MoOREsvILLE, June 6.-Mr. Jas.
Fl. Pou spoke at Academy Hall last
night on the subject of the amend
ment to the constitution. His ar
gumeuts were unanswerable
Did Mr.. Pou answer his own ar
guments in 1898 when he made an
affidavit declaring that the Demo-
cratic party would not attem pit to
disfranchise anybody If it got in
power. Did he explain why he and
his party broke this solemn pledge?

BAD ADVICE.

A New York negro by the name
OF Thos. Fortune is talking through
his hat. He says "it costs tons OF
blood to put the fifteenth amend
ment In the constitution and it will
take ten tons to take it out" He
rather advises the negroes to Eight
for liberty" or leave the South
They might leave and it would be
all right, but If they fight, they
will also leave and it will be all
wrong with them. The great bulk
OF negroes are civil and peacea BILE
and had rather suffer wrong than
to fight a superior race which has
every advantage over them. The
negro Fortune said this in speech
In New York. We agree with the
Charlotte Observer in speaking OF
this as follows:
"The first impulse is to charac.
terize this as rot, but it is more and
worse than this. 1t is dangerous,
ruinous advice, and no man who
has good sense, or having it, is in
possession Of his faculties, would
tender 1t. The worst enemy of the
negro race could wish it no worse
than that, with it's 100000 fight
ing men," 1t should seek to get at
the Threats" Of the white men Of the
South. There is no such inclination
among the negroes of the South,
Fortune, II he ever lived among
them, has been away from them so
long as to have no knowledge of
their temper or of the disposition
OF the Southern white men toward
them. The relations between the
races are peaceful but they might
