The following resolution, offered by
State Senator H. S. Ward, was unani-

Resolved that we point with pride to
the public interest due to the efforts of
the Democratic party, manifested in the
cause of education, and we commend
Governor Aycock and his administration
for his Jealous and able promotion of
the same thus redeeming the pledges of
the party to prevent the disfranchisement
of any white voter in consequence of the
late amendment,
"That we pledge the white people of
this county to ensure sufficient system
of public schools to their children to
guarantee their capacity to register and
vote when the same shall become neces-
sary, and that the thanks of this conven-

ed:
"Resolved, that we recommend the re-
nomination of Hon. H. S. Ward as one of
the Senators of the Second Senatorial
district, and instruct the delegates from
this county to vote for him in the Sena-
torial convention. His past services to
the people, in the Legislature, should
commend him to every voted of this dis

the last two Legislatures should especial
ly endCar him to the farmers and work
ing class of this section of the State;
and though he is quite q young man, by
his brilliancy and power in debate he
became one of the recognized leaders of
his party ir the General Assembly. He
is no new and untried man, and as the
next Legislature will perhaps be the most
important in the annals of the States
history, it is highly essential that we
send there our wisest and ablest men.
Senator Ward will be the peer of any

the lines indicated and that the charge
that they would appeal to the courts to
set aside the amendment is in entire ac-
cord with all of their declarations with
reference to that measure openly made
in the campaign of 1900 The fact that
that assault was to be delayed until
shortly before the election is in entire
keeping with the cunning for which the
leaders of that party are noted.
''It will be noted that Senator Pritch-
ard in his answer attempts but two de-
malls of the alleged conspiracy and that
both of them are couched in generalities
of the most suspicious nature. In one he
denies that the Republicans have con-
spired or consulted as to the policy men,
toned by Senator Simmons In the other
he denies any knowledge of the PROPOSE
tion referred to by Senator Simmons. In
the one instance it is a policy which he
denies, and that is the policy referred
to by me. In the other it is a proposition
which he denies, and that is the PROPOSE
tion referred to by me. No one will
contend that this is a specific or any de-
NAL of a purpose to attack the amend
ment. No one will contend that it is an
assertion of a purpose to accept the
amendment.

BLUE AND GREEN ROSES.
Curiosities Developed by Skillful
Horticulturists
From the Chicago News.

From the Chicago News.
Reported success by horticulturists in the
artificial growth of the much-desired blue
rose dates back some considerable period
and in 1SJJ the blue rose was thought to be
an accomplished fact. That year para
graphs appeared in French, English and
American newspapers that a Partisan hor-
tcu!turist had obtained a fragrant smell
ing blue rose, but the handsome standing
pre- nium offered for that flower by the
Horticultural Society of Paris was not paid
there is every reason to doubt the truthful
ness Of the report. Nor is there any proba-
bihty OF raising the blue rose, for as De
Candolle, a great authority on this sub
jet has pointed out, yellow and blue are
the fundamental type of color in flowers
and these colors are antagonistic, mutually
excluding each other. Yellow by culture
may be changed into red or white, but
never into blue. On the other hand blue
will pass into red, but never into yellow
| i.ere is a yellow rose. hence there Is no
blue.
Although the blue rose Is extremely prob
lematicai green rose can be raised. Mr.
Mitchell, who was a well-knoWn English
horticulturist, exhibited several green roses
as far back 1856. The leaf stalk bud
and Hover Of the green rose resembled those
of other roses, except in their being of
uniform color, and the flower was delicious
ly fragrant Mrs. Bromley, in her book
entitled "A Woman's Wanderings In the
Western World mentions that she saw a
green rose, which was as lovely and fra
grant as any normal one. In an exhibition
held at Mannheim some years ago a prize
was given to this kind of rose the petals
of which resembled leaves in form as we'll
as in color.
