TRUTH STRANGER THAN FIC-
TON.

Truth is stranger than fiction. In his
story Behind the Cedars," North Caro-
lina's negro novelist, Charles w. Chest
nut, native of Fayetteville, makes his
heroine about to marry an aristocratic
young white man when he discovers that
there is negro. blood in her veins. His
story graphically written seems so i'm
probable as to be absurd, but here comes
a similar story from New Jersey that is
true that would be pronounced even more
improbable if read in a work of fiction.
DR.. Thos Wilkerson, of Jersey City, head
of the United States Dental Association,
was engaged to be married to Miss Lizzie
Rector, social favorite. After the mar
riage was announced he told her that
generations back there had been a strain
of African blood in his family, but "since
the days of his grandmother the strain
had been lost in the white until all re-
membrance of it had been lost He had
lived the life of white man among gen.
a white man in manners, in habits, in
looks But he felt that honor demanded
that he tell this woman of the faint in
his ancestry The engagement was bro
ken off, creating a social sensation.
In Chestnut's novel the young woman
intended to conceal her faint of negro
blood from her affianced, but he discovered
it by accident. In real life, DR.. Wilker-
son discloses it. In the absence of in
formation, it would seem that Chest
natural than Wilkerson's avowal. Truth
is indeed stranger than fiction.

SENATOR CARMACK's WISDOM

This paper has not been among those
who believed that the passage OF the
Constitutional Amendment would bring
about a political heaven on earth, nor
among those. who thought its passage
would mean the complete elimination
of the negro from politics. 1t will do
two things:
1. Prevent for time negro domino
ton in towns, cities and counties in the
East, and thereby invite to larger M
vestment of capital and development
of the rich untouched resources of the
State.
2. Give a mighty stimulus to educa-
ton.
Either of these ends is worth all the
effort and trouble that were necessary
to secure the amendment. But he is
very ignorant of Southern conditions
who thinks it's operation will work rad
ical change in politics. We are not
South Carolina, Mississippi, and in those
States the continued elimination of the
bulk of the negro vote is rendered GER
tain only by the continued solidity of
the white vote. There is not political
dry rot or stagnation in either Of those
States. There are holly contested
campaigns for every office and over
every public question, but these con-
tests are almost altogether within the
Democratic ranks and carried on in the
Democratic primaries. 1t will be so IN
North Carolina if history in those
States repeats itself in North Carolina
Certain it is that it will be better for
the State and the only security for the
perpetuation of the amendment.
One of the ablest of the younger men
from the South in public life is Senator
Carmack, of Tennessee. He under
stands the real situation in the South
as we'll as any man in America. Ask
ed recently, will the elimination of the
negro as a political factor by the va
rious election laws of the Southern
States in the end bring about a divis-
ion of the white vote?"
Senator Cormack answered in words
Of truth and wisdom:
'In the first place there has been
no elimination of the negro as a
political factor. Even where lac
has been disqualified as a voter at

LIGHT rs BREAKING.

The Southern Tobacco Journal referring
to the organization of the Universal To-
bacco Company, with a capital of ten mil
lion dollars, says:
1--WE can assure our readers that the
not be repeated, as we are in position
to know that the Universal Tobacco Com
pany was formed by astute commercial
business men for the purpose of making
money legitimately by the proper pro-
gression and extension Of the enterprise.
The company's stock is trusted, and Mr..
Buffers sanction is necessary for the sale
of the property"
Let us hope that the Journal is right
and that competition is to be restored in
the tobacco business. The trust, in de-
fiance of law, has step by step come to
monopolize the business, to the impover-
ishment Of the tobacco farmers. 1t has
seemed to be able to set laws and
statutes at defiance and have everything
its own way, until many have grown hope
less of ever securing competition in an
industry which means so much for North
Carolina.
Light begins to break if this company
is able to fulfill the predictions made for
it by the Journal.

THE NEWS AND OBSERVER
LEADS ALL NORFOLK PAPERS.

Talking about circulation of a
daily newspaper, it is our convic-
ton that the NEWS AND OBSER-
YER has the largest proportionate
mail circulation of any daily paper
printed in the United States. As
q rule the chief circulation enjoyed
by a daily newspaper is in the city
and county in which 1t is publish
ed. Few papers, outside the great
dai1ies of the chief cities, have u
larger mail circulation than in the
county of publication. Such out
side circulation shows a popularity
that extends over a wide territory
and is the best test of a newspa-
per's widespread influence. The
circulation of the NEWS AND OBJ
SERVER in Raleigh and other
points in Wake county exceeds
that ever before attained by any
morning daily published at the
capital, and has almost kept pace
with the rapid growth of the cir
culation in other sections of the
State.
In fact the NEWS AND OBSER-
YER has larger mail circulation
than every paper-daily, weekly and
neutrality-suspicious. in the city of
Norfolk, Va, which is a much lar
ger city and does a more extensive
business than Raleigh. From His
tory and Comparative Statement"
published by the postmaster of
Norfolk, we find that for the
month of October, 1900, there was
mailed from the Norfolk postoffice
1856 pounds of second class
mail matter, which embraces news
papers and magazines sent out of
the county Of publication. In the
same month, the News and Obser-
yer alone sent $685. or 319
pounds more than both of the dali
les and all the other publications
printed in the city of Norfolk.
In the month of July, 1900, the
NEWS AND OBSERVER alone
sent 26,4SO pounds, in June, Co.
$50 pounds, and in August, 2O,SS4
pounds, these last three represent
ing the big campaign circulation
during the campaign of 1900.
That's the way the NEWS AND
OBSERVER leads!

the polls he is still omnipotent in
the party convention, or at the
least, the politicians who control
him are. A Republican mass meet
ing looks just like it always did.
A number OF good men in the South
who have heretofore been Demo-
Gratis voted the Republican ticket
in the last two campaigns, but You
could not get one of them within
nose shot of a Republican county
convention. The Republican party
in the South will therefore con-
tinue to be a negro party, even
without negro voters, and as such
white men will not join it. Again,
the elimination OF the negro voter
is only partial and temporary. A
considerable and increasing num-
Der possesses the necessary educa-
tionaI qualifications and the linn
itations on the suffrage will there
fore become less and less effective.
In Tennessee we have what is call
ed the 'Dortch law which is prac-
tica11y an educational qua1ifica-
ton, but it applies to only a linn
tied number of voting precincts.
Taking the whole vote of the ne
gro vote still constitutes the big
end Of the Republican party. Of
course, If the negro were entirely
eliminated from politics there
would be a stronger tendency
among the whites to divide on
party lines. Men do not think
alike simply because they are white
except on the question of white
against blacks. But even with the
negro out of politics, the Republic
can party could not materially in
crease its following in the South.
A party which represents the or
ganized greed of the country and
which is at open war with the
principles and traditions OF the
republic does not commend itself
to a people who more than any
other in the country are conser-
vative, American and independent.
When the South comes to be DOM
mated by the powers that control
such States as New Jersey and
Pennsylvania it may become Re-
publican"
Just so long as there is large negro
population in the Southland that IS
forever)-just so long will the negro
question hold place in politics.
Where largely eliminated by constitu-
ton amendments, it will not be a lead
ing or commanding or threatening is
sue, but it will silently exert con-
trolling influence to defeat any party
that would set aside the amendment
that restricts suffrage.
