Or. MOTT ON THE NEGRO.
Charlotte Observer.

The next months number of the
National Criterion, monthly maga-
zine of Chicago, will have contri-
button from DR.. j. j. Mott. OF this
State. on ''The Negro Problem in tho
United States" 1t was solicited for
publication by Gen. Green B. Raum,
formerly Commissioner of Internal
Revenue and now a member of the
Chicago bar, and the editor of the
Criterion, in acknowledging receipt of
the manuscript copy through Gen.
Raum, writes him: at is an admir-
able article and one that cannot, am
sure. fail to enlighten the country on
a most perPlexing, but decidedly i'm
portaut question.
We have no idea what positions DIR.
Mott takes in this paper. but shall
await it's appearance with interest,
assured that it will be worth reading.
In earlier life as physician, and in
nearly all his life as farmer, DR..
Mott has had large observation OF the
negro as a citizen and a laborer. For
many years in active politics, a part
of this time chairman of the Republi-
can State Executive Committee, he
knows the negro in politics as well
as any man does. For some time past
he has led a quiet life and his days OF
activity in politics are perhaps ended.
Given to reflection, for which he has
of late had time, a strong and original
thinker, and, for one not claiming to
be practiced in the art, writer OF
unusual power, it may reasonably be
expected that Dr. Motifs contribution
to the discussion of the negro ques'
ton will be worthy consideration.

LYNCHING VERDICT.
Newport News Times Herald.

Some comment is being made in
the nature Of criticism of the North
Carolina coroner's jury that COM
mended the lynching of a negro who
assaulted a woman.
Some gentlemen have broken into
the public print with batch of be-
numbed and dogeared platitudeo on
the subject of lynching that do not
touch the case. Some prosy obser-
vations redolent of mental moth balls
and indicative of the immutability of
twaddle have also dripped from
drowsy minds and spread themselves
over the general aspect OF law-break-
ing.
No man would select to 60 on rec
ord as advocating the breaking OF
the laws, especially those involving
the safety of human life, and it is not
difficult to find men who criticize all
lynchings without regard to the crime
committed. the Identification OF the
criminal or the aggravation OF his Of
| fence.
| We have not observed that section
al lines mark the swift vengeance oil
men upon the brute who outrages a
woman. Wherever men are TO oe
found in this country to whose hearts
homes are dear and who hold women
in proper esteem, then men are to be
found who will avenge such assaults
upon them as was committed II
North Carolina.
That is something inherent. 1t i:
beyond the narrow confines OF otat'
lines or sectional boundaries, bu
lives and lies dormant wherever man
hood has worthy exponent. Th'
North Carolina jury said exactl.
what they meant. They did no
whine around in tedious and useles
depreciation of the existence OF crime
but they boldly let the world know
that their women will be protecte'
when possible and avenged whe
they are assaulted.

WOMEN AND JEWELS.

CHANDLER.
Nashville (Tenn.) Banner.

Mr.. VIM. f. Chandler's exploita-
tion of prejudicial politics in refer
ence TO Southern lynchings and the
colored vote in the South has served
no good purpose, except the rebuke
which it has elected in the North as
we'll as in the South. 1t seems, how
ever, to bring Mr.. Chandler into pub
lie notice and to recall the part he
played in 1876 in keeping Mr.. Tilden
out of the office of President to which
he was elected. A correspondent in
the Springfield, Mass, Republican,
says:
When the New Hampshire politi-
clan talks about the suppression OF
the Southern negro vote, let him re-
call the black crime of 1876, which
suppress sed Florida's white majority
vote cast for Tilden and Hendricks,
and in which Brother Chandler was a
conspicuous performer. When Chair
man Zack Chandler of the Republican
National Committee found that a
reversal of the Democratic majorities
in Florida, Louisiana and South Caro-
lima would give Hayes and Wheeler
one majority in the electoral college,
this dispatch, signed by the Michigan
brother (the authorship was attri-
buted at Washington to William r.
Chandler) was started toward the
Florida capital:
NJ. l.. Stearns, Governor:
..Hcld Florida for Hayes ant
Wheeler. Troops and money will be
| furnished"
This was followed by the famous
Chandler press dispatch, Hayes has
1S5 votes and is elected" Despite
Mr.. Chandler's successive partisan
indulgence the country is not losing
sight of his past political morality.

EXAMPLE FOR BUSINESS MEN.
Charlotte News.

Ctl1I lOLlc news.
According to the financial report OF
the Charleston Exposition, $49,419
was spent for advertising. Comment
ing upon the fact the Columbia State
saws: I'VE have never known an eX-
position so poorly advertised except
hy newspapers which gave their ser
vices to the work without seeking
compensation"
This leads the Asheville Citizen to
observe: And, the State might very
truly have added. this failure to
properly advertise, was, more than
anything else, the cause of the poor
attendance upon the exposition ana
its consequent financial failure
When the exposition closed the
News took occasion to remark that
the financial failure of the big show
was due, almost entirely, to the fact
| that it was insufiiciently advertised.
and this opinion was vouchsafed
| long before any figures were obtaina'
BILE. 1t is some satisfaction to learn
that that opinion is borne out by the
facts and figures.
MANY business men may draw
profitable lesson from this shining
example.

ALESSON FROM DEFEAT.
Charlotte News.

Charlotte News.
From the defeat of Governor john
ston at the recent primaries in Ala
bama, the Raleigh Netcs and Observer
draws an instructive and interesting
lesson. 1t says:
As between Johnston and Jelks,
the people would have chosen john
ston ten to one. He is far abler
man and in every way better quail
fed. But he made a fatal mistake
when he threw himself against the
amendment that cut off the negro
vote. He said he was in favor oil
getting rid OF the negro vote in some
ooher way. but the people decided to
take no chances. The victory oil
Jelks is not a personal victory for
him or a personal defeat for John
ston. 1t is an emphatic declaration
that no man who stands against hon
estly suppressing the ignorant negro
vote can hope for success IN an!
| Southern State.
That lesson has not been learned
nv some would-be leaders in NORTH
/ Carolina. Perhaps they will learn il
after a second defeat this year.

REPUBLICANIsM in THE SOUTH.
Enfield Ledger.

Enfield Ledger
1t is said that President Roosevelt
is busily engaged in attempting to
form white Republican constituent
cy in the South, and his mode Of ap-
preaching the subject is by the ap-
pointment of gold Democrats to office
and encouraging independentism
among Democrats. Senator Pritchard
has recently been in consultation
with him st Oyster Bay, and it is
thought that the advancement of Re-
publican fortunes in North Carolina
was the object OF the interview.
It would seem that this is long
chase on which the President has en-
tered. II he relies on the disintegra-
ting power Of government patronage,
we must rene mber there are a great
many people who cannot be bought at
all, and there is not enough patron
age to reach all those who can be
, bought. And again in bidding fol
the white vote aud excluding negroes
! frn.n office, he is liable to lose more
of the colored vote than he will gair
! from the white.
The only way the President CAT
| gain the white vote of the South is to
convince the people that Republican
policies are the best for the country
! He must show them that a high pro
tective tariff that shuts out foreign
manufacturers and increases th'
prices of home manufactures to th'
mass of the people, and the unrc
; strained rule Of trusts are both TO
the benefit of the people.
1t is said that the advisers of tn
President in his course themselve
have no faith in their advice, but hop
to profit thereby.
1t would be we'll for the Democrat
of North Carolina to consider thes
things, and decide if it would be we
by dividing the Democratic party t
put the State under Republican rule
If they think this is remote contin
gency let them remember it was onl
at the election before the last that
Republican governor was placed i
power, and think of the distressin
results that followed this election.

DAILY NEws-DEMoCRAT.
Duffy's Nomination.

The nomination of Thomas j. Duffy
by the Democratic convention at AL
lance, Tuesday, will give the laboring
men of the Eighteenth district an op'
portunity to vote for a representative
who represents the most advanced,
yet conservative, ideas of labor re-
forms and government control.
Mr.. Duffy is not an extremist. He Is
not jawsmitn. He is a young man OF
ability, who has the interests of his
fellowmen at heart, and who will do ali
in his power to better their condition
should he be elected to congress. His
loyalty to the cause of labor is shown
by the fact that he has persistently
refused to surrender one single utter
ance of the labor convention platform
in order to curry favor with even the
Democratic party to which he has IN
the past owned allegiance.
Mr.. Duffy has not as yet announced
his acceptance of the Democratic
nomination, neither has he declined it.
He has left the question open to be
settled at q conference OF the party
leaders which is to be held at Alli-
ance on Friday of next week, when the
question as to which ticket mis- name
shall appear upon will be determined.
If the friends of Mr.. Duffy are wise,
IL they desire success at the polls, the
only thing to do is to place his name
upon the Democratic ticket. This can
be done without sacrificing single
principle, as the Democratic conven-
ton which first named the East Liver
pool man as candidate.
Should his name be placed upon the
Democratic ticket he will get the vote
of every member of that party in the
district. Should the name appear up
on a union labor ticket there are
thousands Of members of the party who
through carelessness or Indifference
would not mark the ballot properly and
their votes would be lost What the
friends of Mr.. Duffy want is success,
When there is no sacrifice of principle,
there should be no hesitancy upon the
part of the candidate or his friends to
do just what will give greatest prom
Use of victory.
