Convention to be Held in AsheviIle Octo-

Asheville, N. c., Sept. 26.-Spe-
ciaI.-At a meeting of the Appala-
chan Park Association held this af-
ternoon, October 25th was decided
upon as the date for holding the pro-
posed Appalachian Park Convention
here to further the park movement.
From present indications the meet

A number of Southern cities and
towns, invited to participate and
lend a helping hand, have sent favor.

Of Commerce has heartily endorsed
the movement and will take part.
Special excursions will be run for the
occasion and it is hoped to make the
meeting a notable one that will re-
suit in much good. The park COM
mittee hopes to get a bill through
Congress at the beginning of the ses-
sion.

Mulattoes Cannot Vote Under the
"Grandfather Clause"

The Observer is in receipt of the
following from a friend at Carriages:
GA question which is having some
discussion here is: Can a mulatto
whose father was a white man regis
ter under the grandfather clause?
Now it is a generally accepted fact
that most mulattoes are such from
the fact that their fathers and not
their mothers were white. Would
this general application be sufficient
grounds for a general mulatto regis
tration? If not, could a mulatto
whose mother was a negro but whose
father is unknown register accord
ing to law? Is the burden upon the
applicant for registration to prove
hal his father was a white man and
could vote prior to 1867?
"Your subscribers would be pleas
ed to have you give some editorial
nswer and explanations to the
above questions. I am certain such
would be of interest to many people
throughout the State at this time
and the independence of your paper
renders it the logical medium
through which such information can
do the most good"
Assuming that the mulatto was
the illegitimate son of a white man
(Which must be assumed, as mar
riages between whites and blacks is
and was unlawful) the mulatto could
not vote, as the law does not recog-
nize that an illegitimate has any
father and unless the said mulatto
is otherwise qualified he cannot get
in under the grandfather clause"
AS nearly all negroes were slaves
prior to their emancipation the pre-
sumption is that the grandfather of
n mulatto was disqualified from
voting prior to 1868, and the burden
rests upon him to show to the con-
trary before he shall be entitled to
register or vote.-Charlotte OBJ

all those who always froth at the

the fact that since the railroad

the business of the town has increas-

Raleigh Post, Goth: The Fourth
Congressional District Republican
Convention in this city yesterday af-
ternoon was really nothing more
than a caucus. The executive COM
mittee was reorganized. Mr.. Frank
D. Jones of Chatham, was reelected
chairman, and the following com
pose the committee: @. I. Bailey
of Wake, H. B. Pearce of Johnston,
J. J. Sharp of Nash, W. W. Green
of Franklin, and J. A. Giles of Chat
ham. Vance was not represented.
The convention, or caucus, declined
to make a nomination for Congress
or to endorse Mr.. Atwater. It is I'M
derstood that a number of what may
be termed the administration Re
publicans" will insist on the endorse
ment of Atwater, knowing there is
no hope of electing a Republican, but
it is doubtful if the executive com
mittee, in whose hands the matter
has been left, will consent to do so.
1t is known that Chairman Jones
and others of the committee want a
straight fight. 1t was rumored last
night that the nomination may be
rendered to Mr.. T. T. Hicks of
Vance County.

It does not appear that there has
ever been an arrest for the violation
of the ordinance prohibiting splitting
on the sidewalks. Your correspond
ent sees no attempt to enforce it.
The ordinance is openly, as as one
may say defantly, violated. A few
arrests, of the high as we'll as the
lowly, would have the happiest eff
feet. 1t is a good law; a law in the
intrest of decency and cleanliness
and health, and ladies speak in the
plainest terms of the violation of it
