In the fiscal year 1886, the
War Department expended in
round numbers SEA, 100000, and
the Navy Department S29, 600,
900. For the fiscal year 1899
1900, a year of rebellion and war
fare, the appropriations amount
ed to $163, 900, 900 for war and
nearly $50, 900, 600 for the navy.
The year 1900-01, which is ex-
pected to be year of peace, the
Secretary asks for 100000, 900
for war and $76, 100000 for the
navy. Truly, the cost of empire
is high.

The Winsiow Mail says that
one of the old time cowboys got

and smell like a wolf. Trot out

eff the war in the Transvaal
continues for two or three
months longer the cause of silver
will have won," said former U.
S. Senator Dubois of Idaho, one
Of the silver republican leaders,
who was in Chicago on the Oath.
"The short time it has been in
progress, continued Mr.. Dubois,
''has furnished proof of the con-
tentions of the friends of silver
that there is not enough gold in
the world to form the basis of
the worlds money, and if the
war continues the length of time
l have indicated, the truth of
this will become too apparent
for successful contravention. Il
believe that the Transvaal war
will be mighty influence in the
campaign of next year in this
country, and that the object les
son will convince the people of
this country that it is not safe to
place upon gold the entire burden
of the monetary volume of the
world. 1t may be interesting to
observe that the panic in New
York was simultaneous with the
passage of the house gold stand
ard bill. Now, if a panic had
followed the passage of a silver
coinage bill the wise men and
the press of the land would have
attributed it to the passage of
the bill"

Rebt. Bell has just returned
from months visit to Custer
county, Idaho, where he has been
looking over the mining resourc-
es of that region in the interest
of the Idaho Midland railway.
Mr.. Bell is extremely enthusias-
tic over the wonderful showings
of ore in the various mines he
had the pleasure of visiting. He
says that contrary to the gener-
al impression Custer county has
gold, copper and lead deposits,
as well as silver, that promise
to equal anything yet discovered
in the mining world, and with
railroad transportation he be-
lieves that county will develop
into one of the most populous

Judge A. W. Rucker has re-
turned from st. Louis to Denver,
where he conferred with a num-
ber of silver men of the country
concerning the proposed silver
brick suit, which is to be carried
into the Supreme Court of the
United States. The judge says
no final plan was adopted, as it
is necessary to consult with 9th
ers before the movement is put
under way. He found many
democrats in sympathy with the
idea, but Mr.. Bryan is yet to be
heard from.
Judging by expressions of
prominent men who came to st.
Louis to talk over the question, T"
said the judge, 1.-The feeling is
quite strong for the measure. 1t
was shown that two suits are
now pending, one from Michigan
and the other from Illinois, in
which perhaps the same princi-
pies are to be decided as in the
case which has been under dis
cussion. I was invited to go to
Washington and appear before
the supreme court in the. two
cases. 1t is possible that the
whole question may be determin-
ed in the opinions on the cases
now pending. Senator Morgan
of Alabama, and George Fred
Williams, of Massachusetts, have
volunteered to assist in the legal
fight without compensation, and
others have been ready to do the
same thing. 1t is necessary,
however, to raise $4,000 to $4,000
for expenses, and this is a ques-
ton which is to be decided
soon"
Judge Rucker, as president of
the Monetary League, has called
a meeting of the league to be

procedure will be discussed and
also the best means of raising

cations are that if a new case is
instituted it will be commenced

Heavy Loss

For the Second Time Within Two Years
Heavy Loss
The sincere sympathy of his
hosts of friends in this city,
among which the ARGUS reckons
itself, are with Mr.. B. FL. Hatch,
of Mt. Olive, who lost his new
brick store and entire stock Of
goods by fire this morning about
4 o'clock. He had 1000 insur-
ance on the store and only $500
on stock, which amount will not
cover one-half the loss.
This is the second time within
two years that Mr.. Hatch has
had his store and stock of goods
completely destroyed by fire. The
first time he had no insurance
because of the high rate which
prevailed at that time. Not only
did he lose his stock of goods,
but he owed a few hundred dol>
lars for them. He went to
work and paid up every dol
lar and built a new brick
store and filled it with bran new
goods. The present disaster will
fall heavily on him, but the firm
resolution to succeed and indom-
liable energy which caused
him to stem the tide of adversely
then, will in the end surmount the
present obstacle and he will
come again. In this dark hour
of financial trouble, however, be
will not be lacking for friends

Mr. n. B. Parker Makes Some Pertinent
Points in Its Behalf.
ED. AReUs:-In my rambles
around the country I have found
quite a number who have never
read the proposed Constitutional
Amendment, and therefore do not
know it's exact meaning. They are
unable to answer any enquiry
about it to, those who wish to
know its full scope. This condi-
ton of affairs prompts me to
write this. During the last Legis-
lature every white man in the
State was demanding some law to
get the negro out of politics. The
Legislature then proposed the 4th
Section of the Constitutional
Amendment which is as follows:
"Sec 4. Every person pre-ent-
ing himself for registration shall
be able to read and write any Sec
tion of the Constitution in the
English languages; and before he
shall be entitled to vote, he shall
have paid, on Or before the first
day of March of the year in which
he proposes 10 vote, his rolI-tax
as prescribed by law, for the pre-
vious year. Poll-taxes shall lie a
lien only on Ell properly and
no process shall issue to inforcs
the collection f the same except
against assessed propetty.'
You will see that this will ex-
clude all llliterate negroes, but at
the same time il would exclude
all white men who were unfortu>
nate in youth an did not have an
opportunity to attend school; but
knowing that all white men are
capable of self government by IN
heJitsnce because their f~orefathers
demonstrated the same when they
wrested from King John at RunY-
mede, the Magma Carta, the
greatest protection to personal
freedom and civil liberty ever
possessed by any people, and
have ever since maintained Their
fitness for self-government. Hav.
ing won their independence from.
England in the Revolutionary
war, and established a govern
ment unsurpassed by any in the
world. The Legislature then sub
mitted the 9Th Section, which is
!, as follows:
"Sec. 5. No male person who
{ was on January 1, 1857, or al
any time prior thereto, entitled to
vote under the laws of any State
in the United States wherein BIZ
then resided, and no lineal descend.
| emit of any such person shall be
denied the right to register an6
!, vote at any election in this State
, by reason of his failure to possess
: the educational qualification pre-
scribed in section four of this ar,
ticle; Provided, he shall have reg

terms of this section prior to De

to it until
last winter I miscar-
ried and this left me
in a very weak COIL
dition. I grew very
nervous and despond-
ent. I had such a dis
agreeable feeling in

was hot and painful.
I had bearing down
pains and my back
hurt me all the time.
I could not do any
work and could not
sleep. I tried some
patent medicine but
got no relief. I went
to see the best doctor
in Lebanon. He said
I had Inflammation
of the feminine or
gans. I wrote to DR..

time received an en-
couraging letter, adj
vising me to take his

register under this section on or
before November first, one thous-
and nine hundred and eie ht: and
all such persons shall be entitled
to register and vote in all elections
blythe people of this State, unless
disqualified under section two of
this article; Provided, such per-
son shall have paid their poll tex
as required by law"
This, you will see, does not
der y any white man the right to
vote, who could vote in any State
prior to 1867, CT whose father or
J whose grandfather could vote
prior thereto, because he cannot
read and write, and a permanent
Register Will be provided of all
who register prior to November
1st, 1908, and they will never
have to register again. This will
include all boys who are now 13
years old, but all boys who are II
years old and younger will be re-
CURED to read and write any sec
ton of the Constitution in English
before they can register, upon
their arrival of Fl years of age.
This may seem to some a hard
ship, but life is a hardship, and to
know how to read and write in
this age is essential to obtain a
livelihood and to compete with the
world. And this much stimulus to
an education is surely needed in
our State, but some say, the negro
boy will burn lightwood knots and
live on potatoes in order to learn
to read and write. Well, what if
they dog Can you blame them for
ita Will they be any worse citl-
zens because of their self-denial?
Can you blame the Democratic
party for allowing them to vote on
the same conditions with the white
boys who become of age after
19OS2 No; but rather blame the
carpet-bag rule, who passed the
18th Amendment, which prevented
US from "disfranchising anyone on
account Of race color or previous
condition Of servitude." Yes,
blame the north and the Repub-
lican party for DISTINGUISHING
every white man in North Caro-
lima, who ever held any Office in
theconfederate government, from
magistrates to our beloved gov
ernor Vance, (45, 900 of them), and
permitting the most ignorant
negro to vote for the 18th amend
ment, and then sent out votes to
Charleston, S. c., to be counted
by military oGce-holdefs, and af~
ter tbree weeks notified US that
the Amendment was carried. We
have never known by what ma
ior1ty end have never believed
tn It there was any.
It the proposei Amendment
does 70. go as far as you like, le-
member, it goes as far as 1T can,
and ny it 70, 600 negroes will not
be able to vote in 1902, and they
will f0d that the best and wisesi
thing for tr EN- is t. submit to live

without attempting to Interfere IN

10 h century to give them the
right to vote without any edu-
caGional qualifications, and We o.
this generation have had to sui
fer for the wrongs committed by
those revengeful Yankees who
designed to place the negro in
political equality with their for
mer masters for the purpose OF
humiliating them, and I am glae
of the opportunity to cast a ballo'
