ment Is that IL affords an INCENTIVE
Tor the negro to become educated.
ana leaves the whites without such
encouragement. We assume that
In other parts Of the state similar
speeches were made and similar
occurrances took place. A disgrace
to modern civilization, and to con.
servative North Carolina.
We believe that God. In his own
good time, will settle with those
responsible for such outrages, and
the manipulation of ballots and
other election frauds. The answer
some times given by these people is
that In Pennsylvania and other
Northern states similar frauds are
committed. But in all soberness
can this be any answer, from the
standpoint Of an honest man, or In
other words can an honest man be
satisfied with such an answer. We
think not, for how can he be? A
does an evil, and ID justifes his evil
conduct because A has been guilty
Of like evil conduct. Shame on such
|justification.
Brother Kingsbury Of the VIII
miDgton Messenger, says that there
Is as much free speech IN the state
now as there was In 1850, 1870, 1880,
1890 or later. Brother Kingsbury
do you not know that in the state
campaign Of 1900 that there was no
political or religious liberty in the
state? Do you not know that even
preachers were afraid to speak their
political sentiments if they differed
from those entertained by the demo-
cratic machine? Do you not know
that in some churches in the state
that there is still great division on
account Of the political views held
by some of the members, which are
not endorsed by the democratic
members; and that this thing has
gone 30 far that the democratic
members will not take the bread
and wine at the communion service
when handed around by a populist
or republican, and that even now it
is stated by the democratic press
that the pOpulist will not be recog-
nized by the Democratic party of the
state or by the state administration,
and yet in the same paper they
claim that there is liberty of thought
and freedom Of speech.
If you don't know these things
then you ought not to write so free
ly about something that you have
not considered, or when you don't
know the facts in the case. 1t will,
however, be hard for q man of your
intelligence and sources Of informa-
tiOn to convince any one that you
do not know the conditions that
exist, and have existed in North
Carolina for the last four or Ave
years, or that you believe the state
ments made by you.
We think that you and all Others
who are so ready to jump on Mr.
Page and Brother Bailey, had better
take Brother G. TrOy's advice and
go slow; for you know if there evel
was state that needed federation
and freedom Of speech, and political
freedom, that state is North Caro-
liua. We, democrats, populists and
republicans, all know it, and you
cannot, be your pen ever so facile
cover the fact up. The great com
mon people-the masses are begin
ming to think for themselves, and
they will seOn see through all such
schemes. Then beware.

A SUIT INSTITUTED IN LOUISIANA
TO TEST THE GRANDFATHER
CLAUSE.
For The Caucasian
New Orleans, La, July H.
Yesterday suit, the first one Of the
kind, was commenced in the courts
of Louisiana, to test the validity of
the late Constitution of the State Of
Louisiana, relative to DISTINGUISHING
voters on the illiterate aud property
qualifi cations clause of the COnstitu-
tion of Louisiana. The suit is
brought on these two grounds for
the reason that the time for registra-
tion under the grandfather clause"
has passed, and the hope that the
entire validity of the Constitution
of the State can be tested in this
suit on the grounds mentioned.
The object of this suit is to make
q test case of the validity Of the

the intention of prominent Kepubli-
cans for some time to test the vail
dity of this clause, but not until
Wednesday was there an opportuni-

Ryves to register, Ryves went to the

licans with the purpose of register.

the man, refused to allow him to

mitted this was going to be made

have the necessary qualifications
under the Louisiana Constitution
adopted May IL, 1898, and went in
to effect August 81, about three ane
half months thereafter, and conse
quently was refused the right II
register by Col. Gleason, the regis
trar. When asked about the cas-
yesterday Col. Gleason said that th'
/ negro went to the registers offic
and made application to register
| He was asked if he could read ant
write and he said he could not. HI
was then asked if he owned the nee
essary amount Of property to qualif!
him as voter, and Ryves said n
did not. Col. Gleason then told hin
that he could not register him. Col
; Gleason admits that this law apple

HOW TO USE AsBEsTus PAPER.

Asbestus paper may be used to great advan-
tage about the home. If any holes become
rusted through the stove or furnace pipes, the
paper may be pasted over them with common
flour paste, and the pipe will do service for a
long time. If there is a crack in the stove oven
that leaks ashes, the paper may be made into n
pulp by laying it in water and then with an old
case knife may be crowded into the opening
until as full possible Ii may be laid on
oven bottom to prevent burning or laid ON top
of food being baked to prevent from baking too
hard 1t may also be used to set hot dishes
upon. Most hardware stores keep 1t.
"May's" clippings do contain valuable
hints, and so does her letter. The "good
will" of the friends of our column is the
especially helpful encouragement always
carefully stored away in the mind and
heart of AUNT MADGE.

Through toll and through suffering
we are enabled to gain a keener insight
into spiritual things and greater power
in doing spiritual things, increased pur-
ity of heart, deeper humility, more in
tense desire for holiness, then toll and
suffering are endowed with the highest
of all meanings. And this meaning is
given to labor and sorrow just in the
degree that they are borne in humble
trust in God and in the desire, so far as
lies in our power. to be faithful to our
profession of faith in the Saviour. That
we know not the reason why we are
compelled TO labor so hard or to suffer
so much does not affect the result.
Through the presence i'll US of the true
spirit of devotion, through the offering
of ourselves in this way, the blessed
effects will be wrought. For in our
lives as individuals as well as in the
life of the church and the nation there
is the hiding of Gods wonderful pow
er.-Reform Church Messenger.

Rest.

Thou hast made us for Thyseli, and the heart
never resteth till it indeth rest in Thee.-St
Augustine.
The great spiritual law is from death
unto life" Jesus had perfect human
will, and yet He ignored 1t when He
said, ''Not My will, but Thine be DONE"
and when we sincerely say the same,
pertaining to the little as well as the
great things which come into our daily
lives, we enter into the will of God,
which means life, joy, peace, rest

Live by the Bible.

He who believes the Bible and fol-
life cannot fail to see that the heaven
TO which he is going is a goodly land.
When he gets there, he will know
more about it than he can know here
But while here he will know enough by
faith to transport his soul with the
most exalted hopes and make him con-
tent to leave this world whenever 1t
shall please his heavenly Father to call
him to the higher and better world
Thrice happy the man, and as wise as
happy. who makes the Bible practical
ly sufficient to train his action and lives
for heaven in the light of what it
teaches.-New York Independent.

Seven Years in Bed.

"Will wonders ever cease?" inquire the
friends of Mrs. s. Pease, of Lawrence,
Kan. They knew she had been unable to
leave her bed in seven years on account of
tration and general debility; but, "Three
bottles OF Electric Bitters enabled me to
walk" she writes, "and in three months
felt like new person." Women suffering
from. headache, backache, nervousness,
sleeplessness, melancholy, fainting and
dizzy spells will find it priceless blessing.
