WILL VIRGINIA FAIL?

The news from the Virginia Constitu-
those who look to see every Southern
State eliminate the bulk of the negro
vote. In yesterdays Richmond Dispatch,
Mr.. ]. H. Lindsey, former citizen Of
Forsyth county, North Carolina, who is
a member of the Constitutional Conven-
ton is quoted as saying:
Il am astounded and appalled, at the
wave of conservatism which has swept
over the convention. 1t is to me utterly
incomprehensible that the members
should have gone so far backward. I'm
less there be u Change in sentiment there
will not be accomplished nearly so much
as the people expected, and had the
right to expect.
Take the suffrage question, for in
stance, if we do no more than make
the prepayment of the poll tax the pre-
requisite of voting there will go up from
the people who wanted to see the cleo
torate thoroughly purified howl of dis
appointment and disapproval. They want
something more radical and more eifec-
tive. 1t was the thought of every advo-
cate of the proposition to call a conven-
ton to revise the Constitution that We
would put into the amended instrument
a suffrage provision which would elimi-
nate entirely the greater portion OF the
negro vote. L thought SO, and it is still
my wish that action to this effect be
taken. lHa
There seems to be, perhaps, ma
jorty Of the convention against any suf-
frage provision which is anything like
as radical as we expected when we were
at work to induce the party to make the
question of the revision a party issue.
We won the fight l for one. am frank
to say that + shall be very much disap-
pointed if the convention does not take
as radical action as we all expected
then
The Vigginians ought not to permit the
action Of the American League, be-
ginning litigation to test the constitu-
tionality of the grandfather clause, to
deter them from their righteous purpose.
negroes was a crime against civilization
1t is duty as well as necessary pro-
lection for the Southern States in so far
as they. can legally do SO, to undo that
crime. Four Southern States have sue
ceeded, and if the plans they have adopt
ed fail, they will try other plans until
they get one that will stick. Suppression
of the negro vote by irregular methods,
domination by negroes and their allies,
or constitutional elimination are the
three alternatives presented to every
Southern State. Virginia has tried two;
is determined never to be ruled by ne
grocs or their allies again, and is sick
and tired of suppressing the negro vote
The only alternative left is to adopt the
louisiana Mississippi, South Carolina,
North Carolina plan, or something bet
ter" for the elimination of the bulk OF the
negro vote. If it fails to do so in this con-
vention, it will regret it. Mr.. Lindsey
speaks words of wisdom. 1T is better to
be safe than to be sorry

One more case of smallpox was report
afternoon by Or. j. w. Berton. Antonio
hi Luglio called in DR.. Berton Yesterday
morning and asked him 70 attend his

The doctor diagnosed the disease as
smallpox. whereupon he notified the

dered the patient taken to the pest house

ther there are three small children in
the family. The youngest was born only
last Monday.
No evidences of the disease were 10 be
found In any other members of the fam

and taken TO the pest house with its

contracting or spreading the disease.
All inquiries were fruitless 10 reveal
where the woman contracted the disease.
She claimed 10 have remained closely al
home for the past week or more. From
examination IL appeared that the disease
was in the second or third days stage
of eruption.
Since IL takes about two weeks after
exposure for the smallpox to incubate.
II is barely possible that the Di Luglio
woman contracted IL by contact with
some OF the persons who lived in the
house with Giovanni Nendeptuol the
