THE point is raised whether Sen

is held that they have only given
notice of their intention to resign.
That being the case they are free TO
withdraw the documents which
they sent TO the governor at any
time before Sept. 18th, the time set
for them to be effective. A reslg-

signed an act creating a juvenile
court and probation officers to deal
with children who break the laws.
Hereafter Juvenile offenders will
not be thrown into association with
old and hardened criminals, but an

and make good citizens of them.
Pennsylvania, therefore, steps up
into line with Massachusetts and
Illinois. the most advanced states,

lightened system of dealing with
youthful convicts and prisoners
might nave been a pointer for our

and ought to be able to fathom the

"A NEW HISTORY FOR NORTH CARO-


A NEW HISTORY FOR NORTH CARO-
LIMA. +
Wilmington Messenger.
1t is a real pleasure to learn tnat
Captain Samuel A. Ashe OF Raleigh, 10
writing a history of North Carolina
Great success attend his labors! We
know of but few living natives who are
as well equipped for such an 9importahO
work. The State needs very. much
History of the People of North caro-
lima" The Colonial Records make II
imperative that such a work should Dc
prepared with great care and industry
We do not misjudge or exaggerate
Captain Ashes qualifications when we
say it is fortunate for the State that ne
is undertaking work that promises 80
much for his contemporaries ana loi
children as yet unborn. He mas
clear, direct style. he loves historic IN
quiry, he is already we'll informed as 10
much of colonial and subsequent hlsto-
ry, is painstaking, Industrious and
seeker after the facts, the truth OF MS
tory. We sincerely regret that he did
not undertake the pleasurable and I'M
portant task earlier. Let us mention how
we spoiled his plan once, through our
ignorance and his courtesy and kindness.
1t Will show his generous self-sacritc-
ing nature. More than quarter OF a
century since, this writer issued a pros
pectus setting forth his purpose to under
take a one volume History of the North
Carolina People"
So soon as we gave to the public the
plan. our friend Captain Ashe wrote to
l. Iol 1, If
State, but would prosecute it no farther
We wrote at once urging him to carry
out his plan and stating that we would at
once retire as We did not know OF his
patriotic purpose. To this he would MOI
agree, but instead sent us most kindly
his own collection of North Carolina
books, and also the late Jaldge William IA
Battles state works. 1t is unnecessary
to tell how we failed to so much as be-
gin the proposed undertaking. 1t was not
through any fault of our own, but through
the misfortune of another. We were IL
three days of beginning the undertaking
when it had TO be abandoned at once. we
have often rejOiced at the failure OF the
attempt on our own part and regretted
the deprivation that befsll the State IN
not having the work by Captain Ashe. He
not only would have written it, but ne
would have had access to the all impor-
tant Colonial Records" Works writer
in ignorance of those publications of the
very first Importance are to a great de-
gree valueless and full of sins OF omission
and commission. We are glad TO learT
that at last after so many years, thai
have no doubt brought to him ripel
judgment, wider vision, a broader his
toric range, he is entering upon Ions
cherished plan the consummation of which
| must be a blessing and an inspiration tC
North Carolina through the generations
to come. God speed and bless him in his
work!

Outlook For Cotton Goods Gloomy.
lBy ;he Associated Press

Fall River, Mass, March 9.-The de-
moralized condition of the cotton goods
market continues to cause uneasiness in
mill circles, and the gloomy feeling was
intensified today when it was announced
that $4,000 pieces of regular goods for
March delivery had been sold by the
selling committee of the Fall River man
ufacturers Association at 2Bc. 1t is stat
ed, however, that the regular price is
still three cents fiat, the temporary re-
duction having been made to meet COM
petition forced by Southern concern and
a Rhode Island Company. The transac-
tion. however, has given a new impetus
GA movement to bring about reduc
tion in wages and a curtailment in pro-
duction, which had been partly checked
by strong influence to prevent such 4

And this is the way these demagogues
show their love for the white voter. In
order to make fight for the right of the
illiterate negro to vote, these men de-
liberately vote to disfranchise the unedu-
Gated white men of the State! That's the
sort of friendship they have for the men
they claimed to be standing for when they
opposed the Constitutional amendment.
Their vote yesterday shows, as we charg-
ed at the time, that it was the loss of the
bulk of the negro voters that inspired
their zeal against the amendment.

ENEMIES OF UNLETTERED
VOTERS.

When the constitutional amendment
was first submitted, it will be remembered
that Hon. Thomas Settle pointed out that
it fully protected the unlettered white
voter and told his Republican friends
that if they succeeded in having the
grandfather clause annulled they and not
the Democrats would be responsible for
disfranchising the illterate white voters.
This was before the June session amend
ed the suffrage clause and made it "one
indiNsible scheme of suffrage"
Yesterday, when the bill to provide for
guaranteeing the right to every white
ma nto vote was under consideration, all
the Republicans and Populists in the
House voted against it. The bill was an
act to carry the suffrage amendment into
effect, and was drawn TO ENABLE
EVERY WHITE VOTER TO REGISTER
ON THE PERMANENT ROLL. The Con-
stitution provides that unless the voter
is registered on this permanent roll ne
will lose his vote And yet the Repubi-
can and Populist members-every moth
er's son OF them-voted against the mea-
sure and therefore voted to disfranchise
every uneducated white man in the State.

AS TO EXPENSE.

When the railroads refuse to pay just
taxes. their apologists urge that 1t is
cheaper to remit the tax than to pay the
heavy costs of litigation to enforce pay
ment
When the people of this State,
through their representatives, began to
discuss the impeachment of Governor
Holden, the miscalled conservative citi-
zens of the State. who really wanted to
save Holden but were not honest enough
to avow it, appealed to the economical
characteristic of our people and
said it would impose a heavy expense
upon the taxpayers which they could
i'll afford to bear. But the leaders of
that day, led by such intrepid men as
Governor Jarvis, declared that it was
constitution and laws of the State with
paltry dollars.
Later. after the impeachment of Gov
ernor Holden had cost something like
$50, 900, Mr.. Welch antagonized Governor
Jarvis and Mr.. Waring and those who
pressed for the impeachment OF Jay
Bird Jones' on the ground that it would
cost too much. Mr.. Waring said he
..would stay here all summer if neces-
sary that these infamous officials might
be properly and justly dealt with.
Governor Jarvis. who was Speaker OF
the House. took the floor and inveighed
against considering the question or
cost when a question involving the in
tegrity of the courts of justice was in
volved and earnestly advocated
speedy trial.
Today there are those who are using
the same argument and saying that the
expense that will be incurred in the i'm
peachment will be so great that the
State cannot afford it, This is equiva-
lent to saying that the State is too poor
| TO protect the laws and the Constitu-
tion-that they may be ridden over with
impunity rather than spend few hun
dred dollars to uphold them. The
fathers gave freely of their blood to
obtain the Constitution: are the sons
so enamoured of the love of money, that
they cannot spend few paltry dollars
to preserve the priceless heritage of
liberty?
There are some matters that are so
far above money considerations that 1t
is a sacrilege even to mention money in
connection with them. A mans honor,
womans purity judicial integrity
these have no connection with money
and it is proclamation to think OF any
money value being placed on them. IT
it should cost fifty or an hundred
thousand dollars to bring to trial men
charged with subverting the Constitu-
ton and laws of the State, the money
would be well spent. AS a matter OF
fact the cost of the present impeach-
ment trial will not be large and those
who ere so busy talking about it at
nedTL HdNS secret ISdSOHo Aol "loA - .
to discredit the proceedings. The Hol-
den impeachment trial lasted six weeks,
Holden had one hundred and eight wit
neses brought from all parts of the
State, and one witness-Jim Boyd-was
on the stand long enough to let his testi-
mony make an hundred printed pages.
1t was good long "puke" and Merri-
mons cross-examination absolutely
paratively few witnesses will he ex-
amined and there is no reason why this
trial should last more than ten days.
