From the Decatur News.
 During the past few days we have taken occasion to inquire of the lawyer and the jurist, the teacher and the preacher, the business man and the farmer, as to their estimate of the work of the convention so far as 1t has gone. The almost univer- sal sentiment, as we have heard it ex- pressed seems to be that the proceedings have been nugatory and inconsequential and at variance with and counter to the best interests of the people, and many did not hesitate to say that when the new constitution is presented for ratification 1t will be rejected.

 The Chattanooga Times remarks that the so-called grandfather provision Is vicious, un-American and undemocratie and no condition can possibly arise to jus tify it's incorporation In a code of fair laws" The Times is correct. as usual. From the Ashvine Aegis
 The suffrage matter is yet debatable, but there seems to be a determination to clog the good with the bad, and the drift of opinion is Chat If the plan is adopted in it's present shape if wiR defeat the new constitution. If the work of so many famous orators and so much oratory should be finally lost in the outcome of the convention, 1t would strike us as a calamity; yet it would be a far greater calamity to set aside the constitution al- ready effective for one that will not fit the time for which 1t is proposed.
 From the wetumplea Herald.
 Let the convention take up the suffrage clause at once and settle 1t right and to tie white people of the State, and ad journ and go home before they dc some foolish act that will defeat the instrument before sthe people. The present constitu- ton is the best of any state In the Union, with the exception of tho suffrage clause and under it the State has made material strides in rapid progress, and with a just and proper adjustment of said clause, the constitution, when framed. will be ratified by the people; otherwise it may be overwhelmingly defeated.
 From the Bessemer Weekly.
 Several weeks since we expressed fears that no good would come to the State from the present constitutional conven- tion. Their action since then rather con- firms these fears. The majority report on the suffrage is but a tangle and mesh of conditions and provisions that would be an absolute disgrace to any State that would engraft it in its organic law. h. stead of a simple. plain provision apply ing to all voters alike, requiring the pre- vious payment of a poll or head tax and a moderate educational requirement as a qualification for suffrage. which would eliminate the menace of ignorant negro suffrage, they have reported plan em- bodying stipulations and requirements which to understand and carry out would puzzle a Philadelphia lawyer. The idea of a voters qualification being based up- on the personality of ones grandfather is an invention that brings ridicule upon those who propose it. If such scheme is to be embodied in the constitution wouldn't it be safer to substitute grand mother instead of grandfather" Ont is not always as safe in tracing descent

From the Piedmont Inquirer,
 While we dislike very much to criticise the proceedings of such able and promi- nsft men in convention assembled, there are some of them that bear so plainly the marks of selfishness and are such palpable exhibitions Of inconsistency that we. together with a great number of the people of the state who wene anx- ious for the convention to be ffefd, are becoming disgusted with the whole pro- oeodings. We are afraid that there are too many narrow-guaged politicians in this august assembly. each of whom Is trying to do something that will further b.s political aspirations at home, disre- garding the needs and interests of the whole state. That there are men in this Convention who can forget selfish inter- ests in the consideration of those of the state we do not doubt but they seem to be In a hopeless minority.

THE GRANDFATHER CLAUSE

from a grandfather as from grand mother. and of course the utmost ac- caracy should be sought in the operation of constitutional provision. If they would have a provision like that, let 1t be accurate in application. Again, the idea. of a voters rights in this county being subject to the whims caprice and parti- sanship of a trie of men appointed in Montgomery, is intolerabie. This would be caste in voting. with a vengeance. The whole project Is absurd. There should be nothing complex in the qualIfi- cations of suffrage. The main purpose in view now is the elimination ef ignorant negro suffrage. It can be done constItu- tionaily and without injustice or discrim- lnation. Why shouldn't 1t be done that way? What Is the use of reserting to humbugery and opening avenues for fraud? The question is not yet settled in the convention. The ablest men in it will fight this scheme, but we haven't much hope of good coming out of Nazareth.
