TUESDAY IS VOTING DAY
(continued from Page one.)

Convention at the morning session and heard the distinguished President of the Convention with great force and skill answer every one of these argu- ments. he felt himself. like Othello, without an occupation"
 MT. Smith then took up the history of the negro race. and after carefully showing some of it's characteristics, de- clared that the Anglo -Saxon-race would rule this country as long as time lasts. This sentiment was received with ap- plause.
 He thought the good character clause was broad enough to admit all de- scendants of soldiers. He did not think the soldier clause was necessary, but he would not strike it down because he thought this Convention. representing the sovereign people. should show some gratitude to the Confederate soldiers. He said his county was opposed to the grandfather clause because they fear ed 1t was unconstitutional, and would overthrow the work of the Convention
 He believed, however, that if the dele
 gates from Mobile went back home and told the people of that county that a | large majority of the delegates had agreed that the soldier and descendant clause was within the Federal Consti- tuition, that Mobile County would ratify the Constitution. He felt that he ought | to go on record as being of the opinion that the soldier and descendant clause
 was so clearly constitutional that there
 was not the slightest doubt about it.
 Asked by Captain White of Jefferson if he believed the grandfather clause" of Louisiana was constitutional. MT.
 Smith said he did not. He then show
 ed the difference between the Louisiana
 Constitution and the report of the ma jority committee.
 MT. Smith argued that the soldier
 descendant clause did not exclude single negro from voting. It
 did not abridge the right of
 the negro in the remotest | degree. On the contrary it extended the right to negroes. He then analysed the | Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments | of the Federal Constitution and the re-
 lation to it of the report of the com
 mittee and cited cases decided by the Supreme Court. The qualifications 10 vote had been left ny the Supreme Court to the States except where there | was a discrimination between the
 races. bat this was not done in the Suf- frage article reported. The sons of ne-
 gro soldiers was permitted to vote Mir. Smith argued that "the grand. | father clause" is necessary becaTse the | people had heen taught by ;ns!dious
 whispers that unless if was put in the | Constitution some white men would be | digfranchised. So far as ne was con | cerned MT. Smith said his county did care about the grandfather clause" | as 1t would not operate there. but con-
 ditions in other counties were different

DOHbIed the Fec.

A clergyman who used to be pastor
Of a church in Kansas City says that
on one occasion he had rather an anus
ing experience in marrying young
couple in that city.
''The gentleman" said the clergy
man, "was a handsome, noble looking
young man and the bride to be more
than usually beautiful. 1t was plain to
be seen that the prospective groom
thought he had secured the one prize in
all the matrimonial market and was
correspondingly elated.
"JuSt before the ceremony the gen.
tleman handed me the marriage license
to see that it was all right. Inside the
license there was a crisp So note, plac-
ed there as the fee. The couple stood
up before the few witnesses in the par
lor, the ceremony was gone through
with, and they were pronounced hus-
band and wife. The first thing the new
husband did was to draw his wife to
him and imprint fond kiss on her
sweet lips. 1t seemed to thrill him
with unexpected joy, for, Immediately
turning to me, he said, 'ParsOn, I'll be
switched If l paid you enough for this
job and. pulling from his pocket an
other 50 note, he thrust it into my
handS."-Baltimore Sun.

PecuIiaritie. of Asthma.

The peculiarities of asthma are we'll
known, and one New York woman
thinks that she has more than usual
reasen to complain of the. vagarieS Of
the disease. She had always lived in
the lower part of the city on one of the
avenues distant from the two rivers
and had suffered in no unusual degree
from asthma when the weather was
not unfavorable. The doctor was not
consulted when her husband bought
house in another part of the city, and
it is indeed doubtful if he could have
foreseen the effect upon Lcr of living
in the new neighborhoou.
1t took the sufferer only a few hours
TO realize that it would be impossible
for her TO live in the new house, which
was only q short distance from the
North river. Her discomfort became
so great that she was compelled at the
end of a week to give up all attempt to
reside there, and the house that had
been built with so much care and ex-
penSe had to be abandoned.
Another example of the vagaries of
asthma is to be found in the case of
New Yorker who is comfortable enough
in this city so long as he lives on the
upper stories of a lofty hotel or other
residence building, but is in great dis
tress so soon as he is compelled to be
on terra firma.-New York Sun.
