MacRae. a we'll known local capitalist,
and others whom he has interested
Such a consolidation. was auth

ture in 1899 and the sale today was
consummated through the banking firm
of Hugh McRae & Co. The street rail-
way is to be sold under foreclosure pro-

Do Not Talk 10 Us Of What the Supreme Court
May Do, Says Hthin. Williams Also
Speaks Strongly The Vir-
ginia Convention.
ginia Convention.
(By the Associated Press. J

Montgomery, July 25.-The issue in the
Constitutional convention today was the
grandfather clause in section Of the sur
frage article. Williams, Of Marengo, took
the floor in defense of the clause. His
people, he said wanted to get rid of the
negro voter and wanted to disfranchise
no white man. He would be glad to fix
the hereditary feature so that every
white man would have the hereditary
right to vote.
George r. Hanison, of Lee, spoke
against the grandfather clause. He re-
pudiated for the sons of Confederate sol
diers the idea that they desired such
discrimination in their favor. He painted
what might happen if the courts should
declare the clause unconstitutional
r. l. Hefiin, of Chambers, spoke in fa-
vor of the majority report.
'"The negro" said he, lis not fit to
vote, and the lively imagination OF the
minority cannot paint him so. They tell
us what the Supreme Court may say and
do. l tell you to beware of what the
people may say and do unless we obey
their mandate"
lie answered the plea OF Governor
Oates for the faithfulness OF the old
slaves. They were all right, said Mr..
Heflin, but are passing away The time
has come when we have got to look after
the young bucks" (Applause)
Frank Worth Of Jefferson. spoke for
the minority report In the course Of
his address he said: The question is
not what we would do or what we want
but what can we do in the face Of the
Fifteenth Amendment. Do not the same
objections apply to the soldier clause as
to the grandfather clause.
The old soldiers, excepting Of the Civil
War, are nearly all dead, and most OF
them are manned. Including the descend
ants of the soldiers of the Civil War 90
per cent were white men and only per
cent negroes"

THE RANDOLPH ELECTION CASE.
Sheriff Lassiter Voluntarily Withdraws in
Favor Of His Opponent
Especial to News and Observer.)


High Point N. c., July 25.-The ex-
citing Randolph county election case,
which was to occur at Asheboro tomorrow
will not take place. The matter was
compromised this afternoon by the Dem
ocratic Sheriff, Lassiter, voluntarily
withdrawing in favor of the Republican
candidate. W. F. Redding, with sthe un-
derstandng, that the case should be mol
pressed and the other Democratic county
officers remain unmolested.
1t seems that the elections in the two
townships were accompanied with so
many Irregularities as to amount to a
farce and the canvassing board threw
out the two townships, thereby electing
the entire Democratic ticket, whereupon
the Republican candidates for sherlt,
treasurer and register brought suit in
the Superior court against the Democratic
incumbents and summoned every voter
in the two townships to show how each
one voted. The trial was to occur to-
morrow before Judge Coble Able coun-
sci was employed on both sides and party
feeling throughout the county was run
ming high.
The trial would have been long one
and would have cost possibly ten tnou-
sand dollars. To save this cost and bad
feeling Sheriff E. C. Lassiter made this
offer and lawyers for the plaintiff Gag
erly accepted. His self-abnegation makes
him the hero of the hour. Sheriff Red
ding is a brother of A. E. Redding, the
Democratic representative, and has never
been considered a Republican to hurt, as
he has been kept sheriff for years by
Democratic as we'll as Republican votes.
