The Recorders Court.

In the Recorders Court yesterday Conny Smith. charged with assault and battery on Frank Robinson, was fined $l0 and costs.
 Joseph smith, charged with disorder ly conduct and larceny, was fined $25 and costs for larceny and discharged on the first charge.
 Hammond Bullard went behind the show case at the fruit stand of one PapadOrolia. a t the entrance to the market and took all the money out of the drawer. He was seen taking the money and ran into the hands of po- liceman Jim Smith. who arrested him. He was fined $10 and costs.

He went to his house and got a pistol and going to the house of the other negro began shooting into the house. Lucille Tealin, a negress. was struck in the hand. A crowd saw him with the DIS tol in his hand and followed him to the Tealin house to see what he was going to do. and not to disappoint them he began to shoot into the house indiscriminately. He was held in $500 bond to answer to the grand jury.

The Sum of the Matter.

To sum the matter up:
 The Thirteenth Amendment freed the negroes, but did nothing else for them: The Fourteenth Amendment conferred citizenship ursn them with It's 'privi- leges and immunities," and while they were permitted to vote and hold once under it. they were not guaranteed Tn either of those rights" until the pass ing of the Fifteenth.
 The Fifteenth Amendment guaran- teed to them in each State. the same rights" in voting that were accordeo to the white men in 1t, but did not ike wise guarantee them in the right to hold office, thus leaving each State sun with the power to deprive them of that right if it chooses to do so. And there the matter stands now. 70
 This being so, ought not this leglsla- tion to be enacted in addition to what ever is done in the way of restricting the suffrage of negroes?
 Do you not believe that thus to en- tireIy take away the negroes right to hold office would cause those who could still vote to largely lose their interest in politics. and thus make the control of them all the easier in the futureE

NEWS OF LOCAL COURTS PETITION FOR AN INJUNCTION
 WAS ARGUED. Judge Sayre Will Give an Opinion Monday in Case of Tyson Against the First Ma
 tional Bank.

Argument on a petition for an in- junction by A. P. Tyson against the First National Bank was heard before Judge A. D. Sayre yesterday after noon. Judge Sayre announced that he would render a decision in the case Monday morning at 10 o'clock.
 The plaitiff alleges that the First National Bank intends to erect six stone columns in front of it's new building on Commerce Street. He ayers that he owns the property ad- joining on the South and that the pill lars to be erected by the bank will ex- tend two feet in front of the bank building which wil greatly damage his property, hence he prays for a per petual injunction restraining the bank from erecting these pillars.

The Fifteenth Amendment.

-S%S~~>~~~~ ~~~-~~-~~-
 The Fifteenth Amendments reads thus:
 "The right of citizens of the United States to Vote shall not be denied or abridged on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude."
 Note especially that this amendment simply forbids State to deny or abridge on account of race, the right to vote; 1t does not forbid a State to deny the right to hold office on that account.
 Some say, however, that the right to vote for an office. carries with it the right to hold that office. provided the voter can be elected to it.
 In answer to this. 1t may be shown conclusively that there are. offices for which citizens are allowed to vote to which they are not eligible. A native citizen can vote for President before he is old enough to be eligible to that off ce; a naturalized citizen can vote for President. though he never can become eligible to the office, and some towns have a provision that man must be a free-holder therein before he can hold the office of city tax collector. but he Is. nevertheless. entitled to vote for the candidate for that office.
 Any qualified elector can vote as readily for a judicial candidate as for any other but cannot hold the office of Judge unless he Is "versed in the law" the law forbids 1t. and according to the present Constitution of the State of Virginia a naturalized citizen can vote at once on the same qualifications as other citizens, but still he cannot hold the office of Governor until he has been a citizen of the United States for ten years.

The Right is Not in Privileges and
 Immunities."

The privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States s* "se- cured by the Fourteenth Amendment do not include the right of suffrage. If they did the right must necessarily ex- ist in all citizens of the United States from the mere fact of citizenship, without the power in any State or in Congress. to abridge the same in any degree, and in such case, therefore. no qualifications of any kind could be inn posed. and all persons (being citizens) males and females. infants, lunatics and criminals. without respect to age, color. or residence of any other thing. would be entitled to participate direct ly in all elections. Every provision in every State which experience has proven to be essential to security and good order in society. would thereby be overthrown. It is enough to say that the rights secured by this amendment are of an altogether different charac- ter."-From the report of Senator Ed munds. 1870. submitted to the United State Senate from Committee on Judiciary.
 ''The inhibition contained in the Fourteenth Amendment means that no agency of the State, or of the officers or agents by whom it's provis- ions are exerted. shall deny to any per son within her Jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."-Ex parte Vir- ginia. 100 U. s.. 337; Strauder vs. West Virginia. 3O3

Editor The Advertiser:
 It gaves me great pleasure to see it announced that pro- position had been introduced into your Constitutional Convention to incorpor- ate a provision in your amended Con stitution that no negro shall hold ofi1ce in Alabama, and that there was con- siderable debate on it. I have not seen a word of the debate. and your columns may be at present over supplied with matter of this kind, but if there IS any need for an additional word on the subject. I will be glad to call the attention of your interested people to the following facts:
 Contrary to the prevalent impress sion there is not one word in the Con- stitution of the United States, or the Amendments thereto. forbidding any State that chooses to do So from pass ing laws absolutely denying the negro the right to hold office in it. Everyone will admit that if there is anything denying a State the right to enact such legislation, it is found in what might be styled the Negro Amendments-the fourteenth and fifteenth. Let us examine these. taking up the last one first.

Court Decisions, etc., Favorable.

There has never been an actual test case in the courts upon the question whether a State has the power to de- ny negroes the right of office holding or not. for the simple reason that no State has. as yet. denied them that right. and there has consequently been nothing to make a test case out of. But. nevertheless, in cases involving the rights of negroes and calling for an expounding of the amendments rel ative to them. the decisions rendered by the United States Supreme Court, and opinions given by eminent jurists who are authorities with all lawyers, support the position taken in this arti- cle. by uniformly maintaining, without single exception, as far examined, the same interpretation of the various parts of the several amendments that are contained in this article. We briefly quote below few extracts from these authorities:
The Montgomery advertiser., 1901-07-28
Election Law Decisions.

Supreme Court decisions upon Miss issippi election laws, etc., sustaining them solely on the ground that they applied to both races alike are not an- tagonistic to the position outlined in
 this article. in fact the actual decis-
 ions themselves upon the points they had at issue do not bear upon 1t at all, because those laws were aimed at the
 negro's right to vote. which right, con- additionally. is unquestionably the the same as the white mans, but his right to hold office. rests constitution ally upon anNther basis, and is mo- where guaranteed to be the same as the white mans. When the Fifteenth Amendment was first drawn 1t provid- ed that "the right of citizens of the United States to vote and hold office. shall not be denied or abridged by any State or the United States on account of race. color. or previous condition of servitude." but that the words and hold office" were stricken out before 1t was passed. They certainly are not there now. and hence the right to hold office is not guaranteed to the negro like the right to vote.

what can this language mean except that at that time. and until the passing of the Fifteenth Amendment, and State that chose to do so could deprive the negro even of his right to vote. but must. in consequence of such disfran- suffer proportionate de- crease of representation. And if a State could deprive him of the right to vote. 1t certainly could deprive him of the right to hold office.
