TKYIN0 TO FOOL THE ILLITERATE
WHITE VOTER.

TRYING TO FOOL THE ILLITERATE
WHITE VOTER.
The News and Observer in an edi-
torial in last Sundays issue said:
"They Pritchsrd and Butler)
threaten to disfranchise poor and
illiterate whites il the most ignorant,
degraded and vicious negroes are
DISTINGUISHED" :.
It 10 difficult to understand how .
man who has any sense of honor or
shame could deliberately publish
such an infamous and bald-faced lie.
Nobody knows better than the editor
Of the News and Observer that it
will be the Supreme Court Of the
United States that will determine
whether or not the proposed amend
ment 10 constitutional, if it should
be adopted.
And nobody knows better than the
editor Of the News and Observer
that the overwhelming weight of
authority, as shown by past decisions
Of the Supreme Court, indicate that
that Court will not sustain section
five Of the proposed amendment,
but will knock it out as un
constitutional and leave the remain
der of the amend ent to stand.
And everybody knows that if that
should be the decision of the Cour'
(as it surely would be unless the
Court should reverse Its former de-
"isions) that then the effect of this
amendment would be to disfrsnchise
every "poor and illiterate white
voter in the State" amounting
about sixty thousand. while over
fifty thousand negroes would still
vote under the amendment.
Now the editor of the News and
Observer, knowing this danger to
the sixty thousand illiterate white
voters If the amendment should b.
adopted, knowing that the danger is
almost certain, is trying to fool these
illiterate white voters into voting
for it, while Pritchard and Butler
are pointing out the danger to these
white voters and urging them not to
subject themselves and their children
to such a danger-the danger of be-
ing disfranchised and having their
children after them disfranchised
and put on q plane lower than the
fifty thousand town negroes who
would be sure to vote under the
amendment.
The illiterate white man is more
intelligent than the News and Oh
server gives him credit for being.
He knows that il this amendment is
adopted he will have the great dan
of Acknowledgement hanging over
him and his children after him. He
also knows that if the anne ndment is
defeated, that then there is no dan.
ger Of him or his children being dis
franchised.
He has sense enough to see the
danger. and he has too much sense
10 run the risk simply to help out tn.
scheme Of certain politicians who
ire willing to put him in this danger
BUS position to carry out their
scheme.
Yes, the illiterate white voter is
loing his own thinking and he will
'ote to defeat this dangerous amend
nent regardless of what the editor
# the News and Obsel yer may say
n one side or what Pritchard or
'atier may say on the other.

The following afYldavit made bv
James III. Pou, ex-Chairman OF the
State Democratic Executive Com
mittee, during the last campaign.
will be interesting reading. oar
readers will remember that when
ever and wherever IL was charg, q
In the last campaign that IL the
Democratic machine under Sim
mons got control OF the State, that
they would offer . scheme TO die
franchise illitterate votes, that IN.
charge was Indignantly denied and
denounced by every Democratic
speaker as being UNANIMOUSLY false.
Even Mr.. Simmons, the Democrat,
ic State Chairman, issued an officif
al statement to the xoters of IN,
State, branding every such charyg
as false In toto; saying that THAI
campaign lie had been charged
against the Democratic party be-
fore, and that the charge Was now
so old and so false that no one
would believe IT.
Mr.. James III. Pou, the ex-Chair-
man OF the State Democratic Com
mittee, I'm his speeches made the
same declaration. But it seems
that in one OF his speeches In Moore
county, some mem bers Of his audi
dience expressed doubt OF the truth
OF bis indignant denial, and called
upon him while upon the stand 10
know IL he would make an affida-
Wit TO that effect. He publicly
agreed TO do so, we are informed.
The result is the affidavit below.
made At Raleigh, dated Oct. l4th.
1885. IL will be noticed that MIR
Pou, shrewd, slick and cunning a.
he ~, attempted 10 word bis affida
Wit SO as not TO say explicitly what
he had said publicly on the stump.
and yet at the same time, TO saw
enough TO make IL appear that his
affidavit had made good his cam
paign de- claration, and fool the yo-
tiers into accepting his statement
and voting for the machine.
The following 10 o true copy OF
the affidavit:
STATE OF MOTH CAROLINA,
County Of Wake.
James b. Pou, being duly sworn
deposes and says:
81 have never said that, IL the
Democrats regained control OF the
State, they intended to disfranchise
the negroes and illiterate white yo-
tiers never have said anything
like this, and i know that such is
not the intention OF the Democrat
ic party. have never heard a sin
gle Democrat give utterance TO
such q sentiment, and ] do not be-
lieve, If such q proposition comes
before the General Assembly, that
1t would receive a single Democrat
lc vote. i believe that a majority OF
the uneducated white voters OF
North Carolina are Democrats. The
Democratic party is appealing TO
them for aid In preserving white
supremacy in the center west and
In restoring IL In the Eastern part
OF this State. They are responding
to our appeal. and to repay them for
their aid with q disfranchisement
OF their votes would be folly and
lngrattiude indeed. The man
who makes these charges know
they speak falsely, but their cam
palRn this year is run upon the
ldea that the people OF North Car
,lina would rather believe q false
hood than the truth, and they
would rather hear libels upon the
IGNORED dead than to hear .rQu-
nents based upon truth

A total eclipse of the sun is an
nounced for May the 18th. The
eclipse will not be total over
the whole United States. In
fact, only for a small strip of terri
tory across the continent, but this
strip passes through Raleigh. So
the people of this city will have the
opportunity of seeing total eclipse,
and it is probable the government t
auth critics will erect an observatory
in Raleigh for that occasion to oh.
serve the eclipse.

1t may be all right for democratic pa
pers, daily or otherwise, to urge the
voters to not observe party lines in mu-
nicipal and county affairs, but it is
mighty inconsistent to do so. 1t is
well-known fact that the democrats never
urge such proposition when in the ma
jority either in town, county or state.
This being true, why should the repubi-
cans pay any attention to such hypocrit-
ical utterances. The reasons for such
two-facedness are obvious.

publication Office, eight stories in height,
and within short time will be occupied

greatly extended facilities for printing

these demands, providing at the same
