1MPEDES SOUTHERN DEVELOP
MENT

Steel rails are manufactured in Penn
sylvania and Alabama and delivered in
Europe for $3.50 a ton, according to Mr..
Schwab, head of the steel trust These
same rails are sold in the United States
for s26 and $27 ton. But for the un-
necessary robber tariff they would sell in
the United States as cheaply as in Eu-
rope. One result of the high tariff that
makes steel rails made in Pennsylvania
cost ten dollars per ton more in North
Carolina than in France is to make rail-
road building more expensive and there
fore more difficult. II the people of this
State could buy steel rails at SIG per ton,
they would honeycomb the State with in
dependent lines of railroad. The tariff
on steel rails puts an impeachment in the
way of Southern industrial development.

Goodles' and ''red-legged grasshoppers"
have been going about the State telling
the uneducated white men: THE Demo-

They told this story to men over fifty
whom it alarmed but when they found
that it was a grasshopper fairy tale they
resented the attempt to deceive them.
They told it to those who were infirm and
poor. and who were therefore not required
to pay it. And every time they spread
broadcast the stories they added "The
Democats will disfranchise you"-a state
ment wholly without warrant of law.
The use of the word "disfranchise" is
not proper. To disfranchise man is to
take away from him the right TO qualify
himself to vote-as, for example. boys

tuition all men, except men who could
vote in 1867 or their descendants, are

qualify ones self to vote is very plain.

STRENGTHENING THEIRBR

Our Ashevile correspondent calls at
tention to the fact that the commits
sioners of Madison county met few days
ago "to discuss the bridges of the
county and released enough additional
voters from liability to pay tax to run
the number up to 203. In this action the
Republican commissioners of Madison
county were strengthening their political
bridges" Our correspondent quotes "a
prominent Republican leader" of Madison
county as saying, 1.-The poll tax of every
straight Republican in the county has
been paid" The Asheville Citizen says
of the matter
"Out of their own mouths are the Re-
publicans condemned. They have not
only carried out the very scheme that
Senator Pritchard charged that the
Democrats were contemplating, but they
have done so in Pritchard's own county
and have added to it the crime of de-
liberate misstatement of fact"

NEGROES WILL TEST 1T.

The negroes in Alabama have raised
two thousand dollars to test the new
Alabama suffrage provision Of the State
Constitution. The action is brought in
the name of an aged negro named Nelson
Bibb. who makes affidavit that he was
denied the right to register, though COM
plying with all the qualifications exacted
by the Constitution. He asserts that he
was denied the right o vote because he
is a negro and invokes the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments in support of
his contention. His attorneys are filing
a bill in the United States District Court
declaring that the Constitution of Ala
bama is contrary to the Federal Consti-
tuition. He intends to carry the case to
the United States Supreme Court, SO it
is stated
The provision in the Alabama Consti
tuition is in some respects like the suf-
frage clause in the North Carolina Con-
stitutional amendment, ratified in Au-

Mr.. Shaw Makes a Statement.

article was concocted at a meeting Of
railroad agents and attorneys recently
held in this city.

The highest character from the section in
which Maj. John D. Shaw lives, that he
left home to attend that meeting. He
said there had been a meeting to bring
out an independent candidate against
Judge Clark, which he had not been able
to ATTEND. but now some papers had
been found against him which would
ruin him, and that he was going down to
Raleigh to fix up the matter and de-
feat his nomination"
Please give me space to say that Mr..
Bachelors information in regard to me is
untrue. / went to Raleigh on the 21st
of April, and was there the 21st and end.
My business and my sole business was

county before Judge Robinson. l know
nothing of meeting held or to be held
by railroad agents and attorneys or by
any other persons at which che article
referred to by Mr.. Bachelor was ccncoCt-
ed, or to be corcocted. I never knew of
a meeting held for the purpose of bring
ing OUT an independent candidate against
Judge Clark, was never told of such
meeting or asked to attend one. 1 never
went to Raleigh or purposed going to

feat his nomination. Judge Clark is not
my choice for the nomination OF Chief
Justice, but I have taken no such part
in bringing about his defeat as stated by
Mr.. Bachelor, nor do l think the rafload

date for the office of Chief Justice Of the

"disfranchised by the Republican party?''
If so, they were mistaken. If any man
fails to register under the present law
framed by Democrats, is any man idiot
enough to say that he lis DISTINGUISHED
by the Democrats?" OF course not. It is
the same way with the poll tax law. If
DISTINGUISHES nobody. 1t merely pre-
scribes that before enfranchised men who
have the right to vote can exercise that
right they must pay their poll tax AS
we'll as register. This applies not to
any man over fifty years of age or to
any person poor AND infirm'' (not poor
OR infirm" as the Madison county Repub-
lican commissioners seem to think.)
Let it be remembered, therefore. that
the poll tax provision is on all tours with
the registration act. 1t DISTINGUISHES no.
body, but merely prescribes conditions
upon which enfranchised men can exer-
else the right of suffrage 1t is a condition
that is prescribed in many States, Dem
ocratic and Republican, and forces all
able bodied men under fifty to contribute
to the support OF the poor and the
schools--a duty that too many have here
tofore evaded in one way or another.

Maj. Waller, when court martialed
