Vann and Morrison and Justice and
Others hold similar views.
1t was the recognition OF the above
conditions and prospects that caused the
Brown anti-cigarette bill to be deferred
and re-committed after being set for the

SHOULD BECOME A LAW.

The Willard bill to require all
executions to take place in the States
prison at Raleigh is a sensible aud
proper one and ought to be passed.
The GOLD LEAF is unalterably OPP
posed to public executions, and how
ever private they may be there is a
certain amount of publicity and
notoriety attending hanging, as the
taking off Of culprit convicted of a
capital felony is now conducted. which
ought to be obviated in the interest of
deccncy and public morals.
Then again it would be desirable
from the point of view OF economy.
1t would be infinitely better, cheaper
and safer to take the condemned i'm
mediatelv to the penitcntiary after
conviction there to await execution
than to confine him in the county
Jail, put the county to the expense OF
erecting a gallows, paying guards,
and frequently the calling out Of the
military. &c.
1t is estimated that it costs on an
average 500 to hang person after
conviction. Certainly it would not
cost any thing like half that amount to
convey him to the penitentiary. exc
cute the sentence Of the law and then
if need be send the body back 10 the
county from which it came in the
event of its being claimed by rela-
tiveS- Otherwise it might be turned
over TO one OF the medical depart
ments in the State or given decent
burial close by.

for awhile. Men take US by the hand
and are anxious about our bodies and
laugh at our jokes. and we really
think, like the fly on wheel, that
we have something to do with the

THE HEATHER AT THE DOOR.

North Carolina, as we'll as Virginia,
has under advisement the suggestion
to divide the school taxes. giving to
the white schools all the taxes raised
for school purposes on the property
schools only the taxes from the
property of the negroes.
Commenting on these facts the Rich
mond Times SAYS:
1T will be a bad day for North Caro-
lima, for Virginia, for any Southern State
when this cruel thing is done. 1t is a
mockery for any Christian community to
send teachers abroad to educate the
heather. and yet fail to do anything for
the education OF the black mans children
at home
Exactly so. Wouldn't we look like
and wouldn't we be a lot of inconsist-
ent idiots to be sending money to the
missionary fields of Africa while we
are allowing Africans ID grow up in
ignorance in our own back yards?--
Newport News Herald.
That is the way it strikes us and the
way it strikes great many other peo-
ple-people, too, many Of whom at
one time held a different opinion on
the subject. And for the benefit of
our esteemed Virginia contemporaries
we may say that we do not believe
North Carolina seriously has under
advisement any such proposition.
Before the adoption of the Consti-
tutional amendment, seeing the per-
sistency Of the negro to vote almost
the very people who were taxing
themselves for the education Of negro
children, the care of their unfortunate
insane. and in training and educating
the deaf. dumb and blind of the
negro race, there was a strong senti-
ment that the school taxes ought to
be divided, the white people with
drawing from the negroes all support
for educational purposes except such
as might be voluntary. The base in
gratitude shown by the negro, the
abuse of power invariably displayed
in the exercise Of his right of suffrage
and the poor results apparent after
the expenditure of millions Of dollars
wrung from the hard earnings Of
white taxpayers in the effort to edu-
cate and make better citizens of these
people. were sufficient to have long
ago produced this state of feeling
among less patient and long suffer-
inc folk than those of North Carolina.
But with change in the political
status of the negro in this State has
also come change of feeling on this
subject. The great Democratic party,
the now dominant party in North
Carolina. cannot be true to itself
without being true to the negro.
Having eliminated him from politics
we cannot now leave him to his own
efforts and resources to acquire an
| education and fit himself for the
higher duties of citizenship whatever
may be done hereafter If he i'm
prove the opportunity given him: if
he prove himself worthy of such con-
sheraton; if the results would seem
to justify the means, we'll and good.
If not, then we may seriously con-
slider such action some time in the
| future, not now.
