Local Dealers Have Not Yet Retired
Their stock of Cigarettes.
Local dealers are still selling cigarettes
and cigarette papers despite the decision
OF tho United States supreme court uphold
ing the Tennessee law, which is similar to
the Iowa law, to be regular and constitu-
tional. The dealers are selling the coffin
nails" at their own risks. as the American
Tobacco company has notified them that IN
view of this decision 1t will not stand
back of them In case OF prosecution. In
the notice sent out by the American To-
bacco company to dealers here is the fol-
lowing:
To what extent this decision will affect
fully appear owing to the uncertainty or
the situation we advise all dealers to cease
selling cigarettes Immediately. 1t would
be we'll to remove all cigarettes from your
shelves and showcases In order that they
may not be used as evidence against you
for the purpose or criminal prosecution OF
collection OF mulct tax.
The company intimates that 1t stands
ready to take back whatever stock Of cigar
cites the dealers may have on hand.
The Iowa law imposes tax OF $500 a
year for the privilege OF selling cigarettes
and few, II any, dealers are prepared to
pay this sum, as they claim there is little, II
any, profit in the trade, but say they are
forced to sell cigarettes simply for the
benefit OF their regular customers who
otherwise would carry their custom to
Omaha, where there Is no law against the
sale OF cigarettes.

that offensive section, off .nsive to
Democracy. to political honesty and
to Americanlsm; and the Cofven-

section in face of the fact that the
ablest Democrats in the United
States Senate have declared it to be
unconstitutional. Senators Cafferv
and McEnery have protested against
Its passage, and have declared that
it contravenes the Federal Constitu-

by such stalwart Democrats and un-

as Turpie, Of Indiana; Lindsey, Ct

OF Arkansas; Walthall, of MISSISSIPPI

Webster's Weekly has several
times called attention to the fac t
that Democratic lawyers who pro-
TESS to support the Chicago plat
form and to oppose trusts took money
from the trust to defeat the anti
trust bill before the last legislature.
Commenting upon this reprehensible
conduct of thu Democratic LAWYERS
who did this, and contrasting it with
the conduct of Chairman Holton in
the legislatures of 1895 and 1897,
that paper says:
We have mentioned the incident
before. but it will bear repeating,
that A. E. Rolton, Esq, Chairman
OF the Republican State Executive
Committee, declined to represent the
School Book Trust before the Fusion
Legislature of 1897, upon the ground
that whatever influence he had with
that body was political and he had
no right to make merchandise of it.
He was offered $500 as a retainer,
with the privilege of fixing his fee.
Yes, on more than one occasion
did Chairman Holton refuse to take
a fee for his political influence in
these legislatures. Can Chairman

They We're Dearly Bought and Should be
J-a:ously Preserved.
Personal or civil liberty is that
boon which man values most
among the inestimable gifts of God,
his creator. In the profuse enjoy
ment of it he stands forth in the
image of his Maker, self-reliant and
strong. Take from him this inner
ent natural right-through the
forms of government or law by sub
jugation or force, by tyranny or
prerogative, and he is a mere ma
chine, worked by the hand of pow
er. When a state properly enjoys
liberty it's progress is the more
rapid and stable. When the liber-
ties of the people are abused and
degraded the State retrogrates. The
proper uses of liberty, in a free gov
eminent where emulation receives
encouragement and support, slim
uIateS the citizen and produces Gull
ture, refinement, art, science, in
vention, learning, eloquence, ora.
tory, craftsmanship, religion and
happiness in the highest degree. No
other form of government advances
the virtues and interests OF the peo-
pie to such superiority and pre-em-
1nence. 1t invites competition, it
is the lever of progress, it is the
friend OF ambition. Hence, when
the whole people, like the individ.
ual man, are inspired with a pure.
patriotic, and instructive love of
liberty, the State becomes great, H.
lustrious and mighty. The citizens
of free State have no superior in
point of liberty, or in point of law.
The humble tax payer is entitled
to the same rights and privileges
and the same protection to which
the grand son of any man should be
entitled. The law in a free gov
eminent is no respector of persons.
nor should it make any distinction
in so far as liberty is concerned "as
law is justice" In a free govern
ment the c ons tt u tion throws
around the citizen certain ate
guards Or projections to his liber-
ties. It gives him the right to trial
by jury; it secures him against I'M
reasonable searches and seizures
1t protects him against arrests, ex-

WHO ARE PARTISAN ?"

1t all Depends With Them Upon Who. q
Ok is Gored.
Asheville Gazette.l
The Populist newspaper The eau
cAsIAN has placed the Raleigh Post
and some of it's partisan contemporS-
ries in a tight position in arraignine
them on their criticism of the State SUI
preme Court for its decision in the
Abbot Bed dingfisld case. These pa-
pers have called the decision partisan
one, and they have held up their hands
in piOus horror at the act of the cour.
AS The CAUCASIAN observes, it all de-
rends upon whose OK is gored-in
other words these newspapers which
can see nothing right that is not in
favor OF their own psrty's schemes
have placed themselves in most ridic-
ulous position by this criticism Of the
supreme Court, when only two years
ago they applauded the same court
the same identical judges In rendering
the decisicn-fOr exactly the same
judgment they have now rendered, the
only difference being that the decision
of two years ago ov ershrew an act of
republican legislature aad was in
favor of Democratic contestant.
Says THE CAUCASIAN: "The Post and
other machine ballot box stuhing or
game should look back over their files
and see what they themselves said
about Hoke vs.. Henderson, and also
about the court when this same court
in the case Of Wood vs.. BeIlamy an.
piled the same doctrine as applied in
Abbot vs. Beddingfield to put a Po.,u.
list out Of Office and a Democrat in
These same Democratic papers then
thought that Hoke vs.. Henderson WAS
q great decision, and they even went
80 far as to praise the present court
for UNFOLDING that doctrine. IL now
seems that these papers bad no conyic-
ton on the matter, buc all of their
praise was due to the fact that the de.
cision put a Democrat in office"
The WoOd-Bellamy decision took
Colonel V. s. Lusk, a Republican, GU,
OF the board Of directors of the State
Asylum at Morganton and Pot Can't |

The court decided in favor of Abbott i,

THEIR HOWL. AND THE ERPLANA-
TON.

The other day State Auditor Aver,
in an interview expressed the desire
that the negroes in the State should
not register and vote but should
leave the white people to settle this
constitutional amendment by them
selves. The way D. mocratlc organs
have denounced Mr.. Aver for giving
this interview is simply astonishing.
Why should they not gladly accept
the suggestion If they are in favor
Of white men alone voting. No
doubt many good citizens will be
puzzled at their course. Especially
will citizens outside of the State
and citizens in Western part of
North Carolina be puzzled, but the
explanation can easily be found. It
is this. II the negroes register and
vote in Halifax county, Simmons
and his ballot-box suffers will not
count out their votes but will count
them all for the Democratic party
giving them about three thousand
majority In that county. But in
as much as the most reckless bal.
lot-box suffer cannot steai and
count more votes than are passed
without defeating his own object.
hence II no negroes were registered
to vote in Halifax the Democratic
majority would necessarily be at
least two thousand less than If thew
were to register and vote. Now the
only hope that Mr.. Simmons and
his ballot-box suffers have of car
rying the amendment and carrv-
ing the State is by stealing and
counting the negro vote in the east
for them and thus to try to pile up
a majority big enough to Offset the
majority against them il the white
counties in the remainder of the
State. Yes, the negro is the saliva
ton Of Mr.. Simmons and his ma.
chine, and he can only consent to
have the negro kept from voting
when an equal number of white
voters are kept from voting. And
this is exactly what he expects to
accomplish by the adoption OF the
proposed amendments.
