the French heel is as firmly fixed in
popular esteem as ever. The fluffy girl,

KEEP IT IN MIND.

The Republican and assistant Republi-
can sheets in North Carolina are engaged
very day in telling the people that the
white counties are Republican and that
the Democrats depend for their maiori-
ties upon the negro counties. Mr.. Linney
has recently revamped that false state
ment in Congress. 1t is we'll to keep the
truth in mind. In a recent speech In
Congress, Mr.. w. w Kitchin exposed the
error in these words
but, Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from
North Carolina (Mr. Linney), in my
judgment on Saturday did his native
State a grave injustice in his fourth or
fifth annual diatribe against the Democ~
racy of North Carolina. We have heard
him often. and his latest revised edition
perhaps contains more venom and injus-
tice than any of his former efforts. II
is not new assault that he delivers. He
argued that the white counties of North
Carolina were Republican.
Il deny it. Take the election of August,
1900, and, eliminating every single county
with black majority in the State, it
went Democratic by 39, coo majority. Take
the election of November, 1900, and, elm
mating every county that has a black
majority, the State went for Bryan and
Democracy by $4,000 Under the election
law that the gentleman's own party gave
our people, an election law that gave the
