NORTH CAROLINA SOCIETY.
Annual Dinner Held in New York
With Noted Speakers.

New York, May 21--Judge Augustus
Van Wyck presided last night at the
annual dinner of the North Carolina
society, held in the Astor gallery of the
Waldorf. At his left sat Governor c. B.
Aycock of North Carolina, who had as
his neighbor on the right Ex-Governor
Hugh p. Thompson of South Carolina
It was announced that the dinner was
set for last night because that was the
anniversary of the date on which the
MeckIenburg declaration of independ-
ence was drafted in North Carolina be-
fore the national declaration was
agreed upon in Philadelphia
The speakers of the evening, besides
Governor Aycock, were Assistant Dig
trict Attorney Osborne and George Cor
don Battle. The former spoke on 1.-The
Mecklenburg declaration of independ-
ence, May 20, 1775,' and the latter on
THE Old North State in the United
States Senate and Supreme Court
Governor Aycock spoke on new condi-
tons in the south and the duties of the
southern people toward the negro race.
saying in part:
In 1900 we made good the determine
ton of 1898. We adopted in that year
the constitutional amendment, which
bases suffrage upon intelligence and
renders the future of the state secure.
That amendment has provoked much
discussion in the north. The attack up
on US is based on the assumption that
Our amendment does no such thing. We
have recognized the power of the inf1u-
ence of heredity. We think that those
who have exercised the privilege of suf-
frage and those descended from such
people are more likely to exercise that
suffrage beneficially than the men upon
whom suffrage has been cast as a gift
The amendment to the constitution of
North Carolina provides that no man
shall vote in that state after 1902 who
cannot read and write, but exempts
from this inhibitory clause those who
could vote on January 1, 1867, or at any
time prior thereto, and those descended
from such voters. This provision ap-
plies alike to white and black. Until 1885
the free negroes were entitled to vote. In
1900 there were and there now are, those
who were slaves who cannot read and
write who can vote under the provision
of our constitution because they were
voters in 1895 and there are many thou
sands of negroes descended from such
voters who can exercise suffrage, al
though they cannot read and write.
Those who come of age after 1908, white
and black, must be able to read and
write or they cannot vote. Our amend
ment is not aimed at the negro as an in
dividual. 1t is mass voting that we seek
to destroy

HUNTING A CORPSE.
Bloomington Man Can't Find Body Of
His Dead Niece.

Chicago. May 21.-The Chronicle says:
Mystery surrounds the disappearance
from the county morgue Of the body of
Minnie Pehlgrinn, a 19-year-old girl of
Bloomington. Ill, who died at the cOun-
ty hospital a few days ago. William
Sulske of Bloomington. the dead girls
uncle, arrived in Chicago yesterday in
response to a telegram announcing the
death but his search of the mOrgue for
the body of his niece was vain.
He was told on his arrival at the
morgue that Miss Pehlgrinns body had
been taken away in an undertaker's
wagon. Who the undertaken is or whose
wagon carried the body away, Sulske
could not learn, and after spending the
entire day searching and inquiring he
appealed to the police last night for as
sistanee.

A GOOD STORY

A certain young lady in del
icate health was advised by her
doctor to take half-teaspoon-
full of SCOTS emulsion of cod
liver oil after dinner-once a
day-and found herself almost
suddenly growing robust.
So small a dose is by no
means the rule; the rule is
whatever the stomach will bear
not more. Another rule IS:
take it on every least occasion,
but not too much; don't over
do it.
