The plank on the suffrage question
is as follows:
'sThe right or franchise is vouch-
safed to every American citizen by

antagonistic to the spirit of our in

their inalienable rights millions of

upon our senators and representa-.

as shall secure the strict enforcement

The two girls were the daughters
Of Mr.. Clarke, and were aged respec-
lively IL and 9 years.
The boy was about fifteen years
old and was the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Green Bryan of this city.
The facts of the accident as near
as can be gathered in time Of so
much distress and excitement are as
follows:
Late this afternoon, Mr.. Clarke,
In company with the drowned child
rem and his young son George, went
out on the river for q row. The
boat upset was the property Of Mr..
Clarke and had been used for similar
excursions quite frequently in the
past, no danger therefore was ap-
pretended.
When within about one hundred
yards of the shore opposite the city,
in some manner the boat capsized
and the occupants were all thrown
into the water. ALI were drowned
with the exception of Master George
Clarke, who saved himself by hold
ing to the upturned boat until help
arrived.
When the sad news became known
throughout the city, business was
practically suspended and thousands
Of people have been to the bridge.

possible.
Up to this hour only the bodies
of the two little girls and MIR. Clarke
have been recovered. Mr.. Clarke
was prominent citizen of Newhern
and was a son of the late Judge w.
w. Clark. He was a jealous Re-
publican and was postmaster at this
place under the Harrison admins
tratiOn.
AT the time of his death Mr..
Clark held the position of deputy
collector of customs of this port.

an exorbitant special tax on almost

RURAL FREE DELIVERY SYSTEM.

People Who Opposed IL Now vfgorously
Landing-A North Carolinian Got The
First Appropriation From Congress for
The System.
THE CAUCASIAN is very much
gratified at the increasing popularity
and rapid growth Of free rural mail
delivery system. It was the first
paper in North Carolina to advocate
this measure. Now every news
paper in tina state, 80 far as we know,
is friend Of the system.
At the time when the Peoples
party first declared fnr free rural de-
livery In its platform, and when
the CAUCASIAN was advocating this
important addition to the postal
system, the Charlotte Observer, If
we remember correctly, and many
other democratic papers ridiculed
the proposition as another wild
POpulist vagary. Indeed, they
charged that the scheme was not
only absurd, but, If put into opera
tiOn, would bankrupt the United
States Government. Senator VOL
colt and other members Of Congress
who made speeches In opposition to
it when the battle was first begun
for establishing the system used
much the same language. Senator
WolcOtt declared that the free rural
delivery system would cost the
United States Government one hun.
'dred million dollars a year and bring
In no increased revenue. The fact
is that the system where established
has 80 increased the amount of mail
matter that it Is more than self sus-
tanning. We are delighted to see that
the Charlotte Observer is thorough
ly converted, ss will be seen from
the following editorial which ap-
peared In q recent issue,
s'The rural delivery system having
proved so conspicuous success, It is
strange that-a voice should be raised
against it anywhere. But there has
been In North Carolina at least. A
Congressman representing one of the
districts of the state Is having q good
deal Of trouble in the establishment
Of rural delivery routes on account
Of the opposition Of country merch.
ants who arc postmasters and who,
by reason Of having postofiices in
their stores, enjoy good deal of
trade which they would not other
wise receive. From the dawn Of
history even down to this good day
men were ever much alike. II Is
