Educational.

How colored men may learn to
read and write the Constitution of
North Carolina and the Constitu-
ton of the United States in four
years also learn the four funda-
mental rules Of arithmetic.
The Constitutional Amendment
which was carried in the election
Thursday, Aug. 2, 1900, in North
Carolina, requires that all colored
men shall read and write the Con-
stitution of North Carolina, and the
Constitution of the United States,
before they are allowed to vote. All
colored men will at once see the ne
cessity of learning to read and
write. The writer has been a teach
or for many years. He believes that
he, with q corps Of teachers such as
can be secured, can teach colored
men Saturday schools alone SO that
in four years from the present time,
or by the next Presidential election,
1904. any colored man of fair abili-
ty and industry and earnestness
will be able to read and write the
Constitution Of North Carolina, the
Constitution of the United States,
and also learn addition, subtrac-
ton, multiplication and division.
These four fundamental rules in
arithmetic will enable the MAORI
ty of working men to make and
keep all Of their own accounts.
There are 50 Saturdays in one
year. All Industrious and energet-
ic colored men can attend Saturday
school at least four-fifths of 81 Sat-
urdays, or SO Saturdays in a year !;
and by perseverance, and diligent
study In the manner here outlined
it is truly believed that they will
come within the requirements of
the Constitutional Amendment and
be able to read and write and be le
gal voters OF North Carolina. One
year Of 365 days is here divided up
as q help to the scholars, and will
be suggestive to them as to the
amount of time they may have for
various objects: 365 days in the
year; SO Saturday school days In
one year; 50 Sunday worship days
in one year 81 recreation and va.
cation days in one year; 1873 study
days at home without teacher in
one year 1856 days study in Satur-
day school in four years; 2OS Sun
day worship days in four years
1854 recreation and vacation days in
four years 1872 days study at home,
without teacher in four years.
Saturday school will commence
at the Rankin-Richards Institute,
Windsor, N. c., Saturday, October
9th. 1900. The teacher is to be paid
81 30 q Saturday. The price of a
scholar will be FIVE cents q head. It
will require thirty scholars to pay
the teacher at five cents a head.
The session will commence at nine
O'Clock a m. and close at p. m. 1t
is to be hoped that in case that the
teacher does not have enough schol-
ars at five cents head to pay him
$3.50 q Saturday the more able
scholars will make up the needed
amount. Owing to the small price
that is charged per head, women
may also attend the Saturday
school. 1t is the hope of the super
intendent 10 have Saturday school
at Lewiston, Colerain, Kelford and
Merry Hill, Berthe county, NC.
Very respectfully,

Superintendent, Windsor, N. C.

The religious papers in the State
that have taken the position against
any further injection of the race is
sue into politics, can now render the
cause of justice and honesty a good
service by joining in advocacy Of the
repeal Of the Simmons partisan and

pers, welding as they do, such Won

TUTIONAL.
The Chicago Record is authorit Y
for an interview with Senator Till
man. in which he is quoted as de-
clsring that In bis opinion the Su-
preme Court will declare both the
Louisiana and North Carolina Con-
stitutional Amendments in violation
of the Federal Constitution.
The Senator is reported as sayir e
that the grandfather clause" is a
discrimination, on account of color,
and in contravention Of the n ational
Constitution. Probably this is the
reason that Senator Tlln an render
ed no aid to the machine in the re-
cent election.
Eminent lawyers of National rep
utation, look with disgust and ridi-
cule upon such proposition as the
North Carolina Amendment, and
with the exception of those who are
politically interested there are none

"A Mighty Rich Man,

A writer in the Outlook describes
q ride he once took with an old farm
er in New England village, du-
ring which some of the men OF the
neigh borhood came under criti
cism.
Speaking Of prominent man In
the village, he said: "He is a man
of means"
"Well, sir, the farmer replied
"he hasn't much money, but he's
mighty rich"
ale has a great deal OF land,
thens' 1 asked.
mo, sir, hasn't got much land
either, but he is mighty rich"
The old farmer, with a pleasant
smile observed my puzzled look for
a moment, and then explained:
you see he hasn't got much mon
ey, and he hasn't got much land,
but still he Is rich, because he new
or went to bed owing any man a
cent in all his life. He lives as well
as he wants to live, and he pays as
he goes he doesn't owe anything,
and he isn't afraid Of anybody; he
tells every man the truth, and does
his duty by himself, his family and
his neighbors F.: his word is as good
as his bond, and every man, woman
and child in the town looks up to
him and respects him. No, sir, he
hasn't got much land, but he's a
