The Negro Eliminated in North Carolina.

The Negro Eliminated in North Carolina.
Raleigh, N. c., Aug. 2,-After one of
the most bitterly contested campaigns
ever known in the old North state, the
democrats and white supremacy tri-
umphed today by majority of about
10000.
Today's election DISTINGUISHED the
negro and changed the state Legislature
from its combination majority of re-
publicans and populists to straight
democratic, iusming the defeat of Ma
rion Butler for reelection for United
States senator.
The negros, as general thing, re-
NAMED away from the polls. The cleo
ton unexpectedly passed off without
any trouble, except at little town
named Faison. A fire there, which
started in drug store where in was
kept the registration books, destroyed
apothcary's shop, the work being at
tributed by the democrats to those OPP
posed to white rule. Bloodhonnds
were called out, but failed to find any
trace Of the alleged incendiary.
THE ELECTION
was for state officers, members of the
legislature and county officers and for
an amendment of the state constitution
looking to a practical elimination of the
negro from politics, as it adoption dis
franchises the bulk of the negro vote.
BY far the greatest interest conferred in
the fight over the amendment Many
negros voted for it. The faculty OF
Livingston college at Salisbury, one
of the most prominent negro education.
al institutions in the south voted for it.
The amendment was opposed by the flu
sion of populists and republicans, head.
ed by Senators Butler and Pritchard
There was full poll of the democratic
strength which, combined with small
negro vote and some populist and re
publicans, rolled up a large majority
Adams, fusion nominee for governor
was defeated by Chas, B, Aycock, til,
democratic nominee, and all other state
officers were elected
THE LEGISLATURE
is democrated in both branches, Meek
lenburg county, Of which Charlotte il
the county seat, giving $500 majorit,
for the county ticket
In this city the election passed OF
quietly. A heavy white vote was poll
ed, but the negros took little interes
in the result and gonerally remained
from the voting places. In many in
stances they voted the democratic tick
ct.
Every eastern county was carried b,
the democrats, the majority in some 0
them being 5000, The most of the cen
trail couties also are democratic. Re
turns from the west are incomplete
| Conservatiyely estimated from the 9th
district show approximately $4,000 ma

He says 81 will take the Bible

serts that he is a Prohibitionist.
How can a Prohibitionist say
that he takes the Bible for his

advocates the prohibition of the
execution of it's mandates? In
Proverbs XXXi-6, we are COM
manded to "Give strong drink
unto him that is ready to perish,
and wine unto those that be of
heavy hearts. " How can this
be done by Prohibitionists ?
They see& to prohibit the sale
of "wine and strong drink. 3"
They not only refuse to obey
this command, but also seek to
prohibit others from doing so.
cd. P. H." denounces as devils
those who advocate obedience
to the laws of God, rather than
submission to the dictates Of
fanatical Prohibitionists. He
also charges those who obey the
command contained in Proverbs
XXXi-6 as supporters Of "hell
bound traffic. - Such charges
plainly indicate their source,
and renders their author un-
worthy OF notice. But out of
respect to the honest and worthy
advocates of prohibition, we
feel it to be our duty to ignore
the personality of the author of
such ridiculous assertions. No
assertion of 81. r. M -" has been
refuted by I'D. P. H." in his

Story of q Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George ID. Williams,
of Manchester, Mich, tells how such q
slave was made free. He says: "My
wife has been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of Elec-
trio Bitters, she is wonderfully i'm
proved and able to do her own work"
This supreme remedy for female dis
eases quickly cues nervousness, sleep
lessness, melancholy, headache, back
ache, fainting and dizzy spells. This
miracle working medicine is a god
send to weak, sickly, run down people.
Every bottle guaranteed. Only SOC.

attendance and the marks each
teacher makes during the school
Teachers desiring their grades
renewed must attend the sum-
mer schools.
Feeling the great need for
better equipped teachers and
desiring to advance the cause of
education in our midst, we are
giving teachers these special in
ducements, which will not
shorten the school term more
than a few days at most, if any
at all, and will give every child
in the county, indirectly, the
opportunity of reaping the ben
eft of the summer school.
We have received two or three
thousand dollars of dispensary
money and don't think any one
should complain if we use one
or two hundred Of it for the
betterment Of the faithful teach
ers who have our boys and girls
in charge.
We believe a number of the
teachers of Lancaster and other
parts of the county have stayed
oNyov from orr SI11Dmpr schools
of the past for fear of making a
display of what they know
rather what they did not know
Now, these are the teachers that
we are even the most anxious
to attend.
We also desire that teachers
be required to attend the regu-
lar meetings of our County
Teachers association.
Better trained teachers means
better schools, smarter children,
better men and women, socially,

Iiously. J II. Thompson,

Carolina and N. w. Railroad.

YOrkville, June 2.-The work
of broadening the gauge of the
Carolina and N ort h western
Railroad has been commenced
at Lincolnton, N. c., and the
understanding is that it will be
pushed with the greatest energy
until completed. Quite a unique
arrangement is being pursued
The rails now in use are rather
too light for standard gauge en-
gines and a third rail, therefore,
would hardly afford as good a
track as is desirable, so upon
standard gauge ties both mar
row and standard gauge rails
are being laid, and until the
work is completed and for as
long thereafter as may be deem
ed proper the present narrow
gauge rolling stock can be used
along with such standard gauge
rolling stock as may hereafter
be purchased. While the work
Of making the gauge standard
both ways from LincolntOn is in
progress, II corps Of surveyor
will complete the location Of

If elected, l will convene congress IN

declaration OF tn. nations purpose, first
to establish q stable form of government
in the Philippine islands. Just as we are
now establishing a stable torn of gov
eminent in Cuba; second, to give indie
pendence to the Filipinos just as we
have promised to give independence
to the Cubans; third, to protect the
Filipinos from outside interference while
they work out their destiny, just as we
have protected the republics OF Central
and South America and are, by the
Monroe doctrine. pledged. to protect
Cuba. An European protectorate often
results in the plundering of the ward by
the guardian. An American protector
ate gives to the nation protected the ad
vantage Of our strength, without making
it the victim of our greed. For three.
quarters of a century the Monroe doctrine
has been shield to neighborlng repub.

burden upon US. After the Fillpinos
had aided us in the war against Spain,
we could not honorably turn them over
to their former masters; we could not
leave them to b the victims of the am
bilious designs OF European nations. and
since we do not desire to make them a
part of US or to hold them as subjects,
we propose the only alternative. namely.
to give them independence and guard
them against molestation from without
