JEFFERsON's PROPHECY.

Nearly century ago Thomas Jeffer-
son, the greatest statesman and nGbiest
man America has produced, made two
remarkable prophecies. He said: '1N0th-
ing is more certainly written in the book
of fate than that the negro slave will be
freed AND IT IS EQUALLY GER
TAIN THAT THE TWO RACES
WILL NEWER live TOGETHER
pEACEABLY on TERMS OF
EQUALITY"
Jefferson's first prophecy was FULFILLED
by the civil war aut the emancipation
proclamation Of Abraham Lincoln. His
second prophecy Will be fulfilled 10y the
adoption of Constitutional amendments
regulating and restricting negro suffrage
in every Southern State.
The Republican party has tried for
thirty-five years TO make the two races
live together peaceably upon terms OF
equality. The white men of the South
will not endure it. Even the negro
knows it is impossible. The South is go-
ing to have the two races live together
an peace. 1t is tired of rapes and ngur-
ders and mobs and lynchings, Of election
riots and threatened Federal interference.
Of negro brutality and insolence, and it
is going to end them. The two races are
going to live together peaceably, hut each
will occupy it's rightftl, natural and
God given positions. 1t will be best for
-<the negro, best for the white man, best
for everybody except the political dema-
gogue and mischief maker. Jefferson :
prophecy is almost fulfilled.

Spirit of the Press.
HARRY, DON'T COME.

Il. City Economist.
1t strikes us painfully to see an off
cial announcement in some of the State
papers that Hon. Harry Skinner, of
Greenville, Pitt county, late representa-
tive in Congress from this district, would
CANVASS the same in opposition to the
proposed Constitutional Amendment to
the Constitution of North Carolina, which
is 10 be submitted to the people of the
State, for approval or rejection at the
August election.
Harry Skinner was relegated to Tii-
waite life in the election of '9S. Since
then he has been slowly recovering fram
the unnatural position to (which ms Doilt-
ical associations had assigned him, and
no enc WAS more gratified than .ourself
that he was gradually reaching his nor
NAL Ilace III the social scale of North
Cardinals patriotic sons.
We know his heart was never in his
political associations. No man knows
better than Harry Skinner that the poll
teal condition in North Carolina that
existed before the election Of '3S co,lld
not have continued in eastern North Car
olina without utter extinction TO it as a
civilized community. He saw it, and felt
it, and we are sure regretted at. hut MS
political environments and associations
controlled him. He was handicapped by
new friendships that wanted men whose
raSt political records were clean. and
whose associations We're with men OF
character He turned a listening car
TO the whispers of foul politicians Who
had been unworthy TO black his shoes.
His contact with them was seen and he
became suspected. His old friends gave
him up. generally. And in an evil, hour
he fell into the arms of q foul cOmbina-
ton of bad nen, and became their leader
and head. He advised them, ate with
them out of the same spoon, was their
chief speaker, held more promises Inre-
deemed than amy man among them;
laughed at their coarse and vulgar jokes.
licked the spittle from their dirty brog-
ans. And then the great white mans
struggle came and Harry Skinner fell
FROM his high place among gentlemen,
and was consigned to the tomb of the
Capulets with bad men, carpet baggers,
ecalawags. buffaloes and negroes.
But with all his faults and miSfor-
tunes. his tisappointments and decfp-
tions. he yet has some elements CT re-
form. Gle has done his old friends great
wrong; Ne has outraged his good name in
the past. he has fouled his bright and dis
tnguished lineage that has been handed
down to him through the generations.
But there are some traces left yet Of
his old friendship, and we would c0rt
lure him by them to stop in MS parricidal
course in trying ITO PUT back his old
friends-the white men of the State
under the heels OF ignorance and infalny.
AT least. my old friend. don't come
back ON this side the sound. to help de-
grade the white people of this coGnnuni-
". Or if you will thus disgrace yourself
and the home of yollr nativity. come
with averted face, covered with shame.
and your frutive glance will meet no
friends.

THE STRUGGLE FOR RELIEF.

Southern Tobacco Journal.
We heartily congratulate the tobacco
growers OF North Carolina on their sue
cessful State convention held at Raleigh
last Wednesday night; on the fine, repre-
sentative personnel of that body; on their
splendidly Differed organization; on the
unity and enthusiastic interest that
characterized their proceedings; on the
determination registered to no longer let
matters drift TO their detriment but to
move elbow to elbow for the betterment
Of their condition; on the wisdom that
marked every action taken.
Now let the same excellent working
spirit-the same confidence in the just
ness of the cause and the outcome OF
the struggle for relief from trust oppres-
sion-be in evidence in completing the
organization. Let the aim be to bring
TO its membership roll the names of
all of the producers of the bright weed.

IT WILL Be ADOPTED
The Amendment Will Garry
But Democrats Must Work.
Gen Julian S. Carr Praises Chairman Simmons.
viii Hold Senatorial Candidacy in
Allowance.
charlotte Observer.)

General Julian S. Carr arrived in Char
lotte last night, and stopped at the Blu
ford. He was in excellent health and
spirits.
When asked to give his views regard
ing the political situation in this State
General Carr said:
THE Democrats must admit that 1t
will require a stiff fight TO secure the
passage of the Constitutional Amend
ment. For a long time we made great
mistake in thinking it would carry 1t
with a whirl-without malch effort. But
we now fully realize the mistake of this
belief We will do well to remember
that both Senator Pritchard and Sena-
tor Butler are bitterly opposed to the
amendment and that they are rrsing all
possible influence in their parties to de-
feat us.
'.Within the last thirty days, however,
the Democratic party has been thorough
~ and splendidly organized. The CAM
paign has opened and opened we'll, and
we are in for a fight to the finish. Inc
credit for this is very largely
due to the chairman, MIR. +.
NJ. Simmons. In my time L
have served as lieutenant under many
political leaders, but Mr.. Simmons IS NY
far the best organizer and cannpaIgn
manager that j have ever known. lie
has the party factors at hard work. and
they are doing effective service all over
the State.
THE Democrats will win. There is
no doubt about that. The amount at
stake is so great that we simply cannot
lose. 1t us foregone conclusion that
the country east of Salisbury IS over
Whelmingly solid for the amendment.
OF course our hardest fight will be III
the west, where the negro has been al
most altogether eliminated from poll-
tics. But recently j have learned from
conversations that the number OF lie
publicans and Populists i'm the west
that will support the amendment Is
sufficiently large to astonlsh Senator
| Pritchard When matters come to the
touch the west will swing into line for
| the amendment. But We must tight
we must fight
In answer to a question:. General Carr
stated that he did not care to go into
q discussion of the race for the sena
tCrship.
1T was my proposition said he.
that this matter should be left entire
| ~ open until we had secured the adop-
| ton of the amendment.
Recently | have received many let
tiers from my friends asking me to de-
| clare myself on this subject. | still
| abide by my determination to leave the
| matter in abeyance until after the elec-
| tiCn.
"Of course, it is known that / am in
| the race and ] may say that from the
voluntary communications that have
recently come to me / ann necessarily
made hopeful about my chances Ton
1 election"
