L. view OF the supposed elimination
OF the negro vote IN North Carolina
-by virtue Of our constitutional amens-
meat, many people are working them
selves into feeling that sooa they can
ignore all party lines with safety to
the State.
In closing an editorial on the needs
oi S'whi;o solidity" the News & Oberv
CT wisely says:
he amendment has not yet gone
into operation. The first election un-
der 1t Will ba held in Noyenb Der. No
body knows bow many negro voters it
will disfrdnchisa. Republican leaders
are already claiming that fsty-one per
cent. CT the negroes CT voting age can
read and write and are therefore eiigi-
be to vote. Until one election is held
under the amendment. we repeat, no
body can tell how great will be the
elimination 0! negro voters. If it Is
as great as the Democrats believe, #
will be day for rejoicing. If, how
ever, the Republicans succeed in put
ting a large number of negroes Oh the
registration books-(and they Will put
every One on they can)--.he negro
counties Will then have no great mar
gin OF white majority.
"rhere is but ona safe plan for the
white people Of any Southern State
Stay in the Democratic ship, fight out
the battles in its primaries, and abide
by its arbitrament. Whenever any
other course has been pursued it has
been followed by assassination as IN
Kentucky; by reputation. and bad
government as In Virginia by negro
rule and debauchery OF government as
North Carolina and by rottenness and
fraud as in Maryland. If the consti-
tutlonal amendment stands, present
divisions would not mean negro rule.
but every division among the whites
makes possible the return OF the evils
which the State suffered in 1868 and
in 1869"

IS THE PARTY HARMONIOUS /?

EDITOR T HE COMMONWEALTH IL
see from the news papers that the re-
cent Democratic convention Of Hall
fax county was harmonious aud en-
shusIastic. From my observation it
was exactly to the reverse, there was
far less harmony and concord than has
been in any Democratic convention
held in Halifax county In the past
twenty years, and ask why has the
party become so iearfully lukewarm?
TIE answer is very evident because
you cannot force Anglo-Saxons to
wear the collar of political .bosses."
The negro you can drive-the white
man you may lead, but you can never
drive. The time has come when
every intelligent white man will do
mis- own thinking and will vote to suit
himself and you may as we'll know
now that you cannot drive him, to
vote for men or measures that is I'M
wise, undemocratic and injurious to
bis party and his country. The negro
Is virtually out of politics and you can
not longer hold him up as scare-crow
to brighten the weakened aud timld
and make them vote for your men and
measures. The amendment to our
constitution Gas every Intelligent white
man knows) eliminates the negro as a
factor in the politics OF North Carroll
ma, and the time is fast approaching
when the machine and political
'bosses" will be relegated to the rear
as they should be. The ticket of Hail
fax county was virtually nominated
last December or January, and the
meeting of the convention en- the first
day of July was simplya sham and
farce concocted by the "bossess" to
fool the people of our county, and I
DEFY any man, that was nominated by
that convention to deny this charge.
Gentlemen will say this ticket that
was forced down the unwilling threats
OF 3,O00intelligent white men OF Hall
fax county, was the choice OF the demo-
cratic voters of our county, deny
this emphatically, and challenge any
of the nominees to contradict my
charges. They are facts undeniable
and they know it. All, gentlemen
will say that am defeated candida to,
all OF which is so. l simply Jared the
ate Of any other man that dared to
fight this most da1nnable combine.
But fellow citizens, the day of reckon
ing will tie sure to come, and woe to
the ':bosses" and Gears" that are
ramming down the Threats of HALIFAX
county ticket that the people do not
want and ought 70 have repudlated.
A revolution is irresistible will
and ought to come and hurl these
self constituted dictators to private
life, then and not until then will the
people OF Halifax county get their
rights.

WILL YOUNG MEN EDUCATEg

i@W'iile the State seems stirred IS per
hans never tcfose on the subject OF ed
,uca'..ss, {. r the most part the cntAusr
asul Is directed :owa,ds the education
OF children II TIC free schools. Many
young men who are not included il
the number OF children who are
OF the free schools, need some theugh,
and encouragement as we'll as the
children.
This is the Season when many soon
will have 10 determine upon a future
course. Occasionally young man
has fairly coed situation in store o,
factory where heis gettinga good salary
from which It seems difficult to turn
and spend several years IN school
Such a young man is under peculiar
temptation to determine upon a course
that may dwar! his life-espaclaily the
intellectual part Of it. In such case
the young man sees pretty sure thing
In his present employment and is in
ciined to continue his work o; money
making although he feels sure it viii
dwarf him intellectually.
To all suci, we would suggest that
they weigh carefully the pros and cons
before they reach the final decision.
Let it be remem bered that while
money Is great and money-nakins b;
proper means is to be COZ, znended.
there are other things in the world be-
sides money, and some things worth
far more than money.
Taking it all in all, the record OF
college men shows decided advantage
III their favor.
Win cur young men educate them
selves, Or will they be content to start
lilo without preparation and end il
in regret?

GREAT FIRE IN CLINTON.

Last Sunday the town OF Clinton
was scourged with very disastrous
fire. The loss by the flames was esti-
m ated at $4,000, with insurance
not more than $4,000.
The buildings burned included
twenty-four stores, twelve dwellings,
five large warehouses, three livery
stables, and the Episcopal church.
The fire originated probably from a
cigar or cigarette thrown into trash
in an alley.

ROW CHEAP BAKING POWDER
 IS MADE.

The Health Department of New York has seized a quantity of so-called cheap baking powder, which it found in that city. Attention was attracted to it by the low price at which it was being sold in the department stores. Samples were taken and the chemist of the Health Department reported the stuff to be "an alum powder" ," which analysis showed to be composed chiefly of alum and pulverized rock.
 The powder was declared to be dan perous to health, and several thou- sand pounds were carted to the offal dock and destroyed.
 It unsafe to experiment with these so-called "cheap" articles of food. They are sure to be made from alum, rock, or other injurious matter. In baking powders. the high class, cream of tartar brands are the most eco nomical, because they go farther in use and are healthful beyond question.
