Honest Citizenship the Price.

From the Ashville Southern Aegis.
 It is ridiculous to talk about the new constitution disfranchising anybody. white or black. Where the price is honest citi- zenship no one is disfranchised. Make the qualification one of honesty in paying the poll tax for educational purposes and nobody will be disfranchised; and yet it will have the effect of Eliminating the negro from the ballot box. The negro. nine times out of ten, votes because it is a free right conferred on him. If he has to pay $2. .O0 poll to get the right to vote the free part will drop out of it, and then the negro will probably have no further use for it.

 The force of hands that is grading the track for the electric street railway in the western portion of the city. struck pile of ordinance stores about two feet under the ground this morning.

The balls will form interesting relics of that event and may haps some one will come forward to un- ravel the mystery of their appearance just beneath the surface of the ground.
