But suppose you leave all that
out?" was suggested.
couldn't be done, sir-couldn't be
lone. Can't have a speech without
continuity. Got to begin at the be-
ginning, you know. Well say one
hour to work the audience up to the
outbreak of the war Of 1776. Then
I'd skip a good deal, but it would GER
tainly use up another hour"
But, colonel. there are to be other
speakers, you know, and we don't want
too much from any n of them"
Il know, but I couldn't leave out
the past-couldn't possibly do it. Got
to get in the War of 1872. and that's
another hour. Can't start a speech
same as a clock. Got to lead up 10 a
climax, too. And there's the Mexican
war, I should want a full aour on
that. And hen the late w~ar-another
hour. 1 wouldn't agree to get through
in less than -four u and a half. and
it might be five hours"
But couldn't you stand up and talk
about Spain and Cuba and finish up
in a quarter of an hour?" asked the
spokesman.
Certainly not. We have got to go
back n find how the Spaniard came
to Cuba-how the Cubans have suffer
ed-take everything IN detail. !
couldn't say a minute less than five
hours
I'm afraid we couldn't hold the peo-
pie that long"
Then let 'em go. After I once get
to speaking, VIA is the difference
whether there is an audience or not?
However fix it to suit yourselves"
The committee consulted together for
a few minutes and then the chairman
returned to ask:
DO you drink, colonel?"
"Of course"
Then we can fix it. Well let you
speak for fifteen minutes and drink for
four hours and forty-five minutes and
pay you a little more han if you
spoke all the time

but We do not see that, so far, n
danger has been wrought to the cause
of white supremacy by the registration
of negroes who are qualified under the
constitutional amendment. Those ne
groes who can read and write and pay
their poll tax by the required time are
entitled to vote and no complaints can
be made if they avail themselves Of
their qualifications. This was known
when the amendment was drafted. No
one expected all the negroes to be dis
franchised. 1t was known that many Of
them would vote. And as long as the
white people continue 10 tax themselves
heavily to educate the negro youths
Just so long will the number Of negro
voters yearly increase.

In order TO shorten the sessions Of the

In this the Georgia people show their
good sense. Would it not be a good idea
for North Carolina to follow her sister
states example? Let's change n time

friendship for the United States. Should
such course be pursued no expressions
of friendship, however earnest, could
take away the sting of modification
and rebuke it would cause. The presi-

back down without showing fear of the
Russian government. If he carries out
his declared intention he will be insult

he do? He is truly in an unpleasant
position.
Russia has a great deal to say about
her fixed policy of non-interference
in the affairs of other nations and al
lowing none in her own affairs by out
siders. During the war between the
states when Russia sent a powerful
navaI squadron TO American waters,
just about the time England was con-
tempIating recognition of the Southern
Confederacy, for the purpose of menac-
ing that country, she was surely med
ding with the internal affairs of anoth-
er country, and she was well paid for
her action, too President Grant, short
ly after the close of the war, in recog-
milton OF this friendly act of Russia it
is said. paid that government seven
million dollars in gold for Alaska, then
thought to be a barren worthless terri

REGISTR ALTON OF NEGROES.

If there are enough elections in the
towns of the state in which city limits
and ''dispensary'' or no dispensary''
are the issues, the constitutional
amendment will prove of no avail. The
very men who helped to enact it are
now hard at work in efforts to defeat
its missiOn.-Raleigh Times.
We cannot see how the registration
of negroes who are qualified voters I'M
der u new constitution can in any
way jeopardize the good results expect
ed from the franchise amendment. The
amendment was not intended 10 dis
franchise the entire negro race-only
those who cannot read or write. Those
who come within the qualifications
have the right TO vote. and it cannot
be said that their voting will nulIify the
good effects expected from the amend

was before the people that there were

Some French doctors claim to have
discovered a positive cure for cancer.
They nave experimental on several
persons afflicted with this heretofore
supposed incurable malady and have
been successful in every case, whether
the cancer was external or located In
the stomach. These doctors used the
Roentgen ray, with very feeble cur
rent and what are called soft bulbs.
In the case of external cancer they
found a few applications healed the
sore entirely. In case of cancer Of the
stomach the first application stopped
the vomiting and a cure was pro-
nounced after the seventh application.
If this be true it is a wonderful dis
covery indeed.

SoDAvILLE, Dec. II, 100

On my return to Sodaville | was
much pleased with the sight and
sound of the railroad trains. Three
years away from them makes a man
stupid.
All the talk now is transportation
Even the teamsters talk of nothing
else, and scarcely a day passes but
some one loses or wins q bet on the
amount he can haul. One of the best
of them lost a bet in singular way
yesterday. He bet that his sixteen
mule team could haul load which
would amount to more than two tons
to the animal from the rear of Stew
arts hotel to the Lothrop & Davis
store-adout 100 yards. The read is
upgrade and sandy, so it takes the
very best kind of a team to even
start such load. When the judges
had been selected and all prelimina-
ries settled, the driver spoke to his
leader (Which calls pinky, because
she is pink of a LEADER and to the
surprise of every one the team start
ed and went steadily ahead until the
leaders we're on the Lothrop & Davis
porch, while the wagons were stand
ing in the place they were to start
from and the wheelers and pointers
were throwing sand under the wag
ons. On examination iG was found
that the twelve animals ahead had
stretched the chains out about $50
feet The skies were about 40 feet
ahead of the pointers, the Fights
were about 30 feet ahead of them and
the rest were separated by from 20
to 10 feet The big chain that con-
meets with the rod under the tongue
was only an inch thick, aud all the
chains ahead were stretched in pro-
portion, and the rod under the
tongue was no bigger than a lead
pencil. The judges, Stewart, Mclean
aud Robb, were compelled TO give
the decision against the teamster,
but he won under transfers law
Now that it is fact that the road
to Tonopah is to be built, we are get
ting some of the details. l am told
that it will be a broad gauge for ten
miles at each end. Passengers leav

trains and ride to Saltwater Smith S
