AMENDMENTS STAND.
Decision of the United States Supreme
Court Involving the Validity of Viz
ginia's New Constitution.
Raleigh Times.

haielgn liues.
"The decision OF the supreme court
in the Virginia cases involving the
validity of the new constitution
closes and bars the gates strongly
against consideration of that whole
question. The courts take the ground
that when constitution has been
enacted by a State and acts have
been done under it, it is too late to
consider those acts. Therefore, all
any State need do is to insert in its
constitution such provisions for the
conduct of elections as it sees fit and
then go ahead"
1t would seem that the American
people, at least that part of them
not poisoned by prejudice and Sec
tional animosity, are reaching about
the same conclusion as to the quail
fications for suffrage. The Southern
States which, up to the present, have
not taken steps to regulate their
suffrage laws will do SO, at no dis
tant day. The unanimity with which
the different sections agree upon this
matter, shows that it is fundamental
and of universal necessity.
1t is clear now that many North
ern States are gradually, but surely
coming to the Southern view as re-
CARDS the negro as voter, and as
their number increases in the North
ern States, the white voters will be
come more and more pronounced IL
their opinions.
A matter which is so vital to The
peace and perpetuity of this natior
as suffrage, ought, and will, be set
tied right in the end. These restraint
will prove a blessing to all concernee
in the end, and the position OF th'
South will be abundantly vindicated

Manners.
Woman's Home Companion.

Woman's Home Companion.
Every day the editor OF this maga-
zine reveives hundreds of letters on
questions OF etiquette. People have
worked themselves into a state OF
worry over questions OF no more i'm
pOrtance than whether a man shall
or shall not wear a gray tie at Il
morning wedding, or whether a girl
may ask a man to come and see her
if she likes him.
Let us never undertake the value
of detail, nor mistake the reason for
rules of behavior. Rules make social
intercourse easier, but many rules
which are excellent and unnecessary
in a complicated society such as
Washington or Nawport are absurd
if applied in smaller towns or country
places, where life is simple and rules
may be few. Because certain methods
ore in vogue at court reception, it
does not mean that these methods
need be followed by a housewife who
gives a party to her village neighbors.
Perhaps everybody would be more
comfortable with simpler ways. And
80 in most other matters OF etl-
quette. What might be good for
one place could be bad in another if
it seemed forced and exotic. Manners
should adjust themselves nicely to
every society. You must, in GER
tain sense, be your own law; you
must act from within; you cannot
read book and become lady.
1t is curious fact that an attempt
to behave properly frequently inter
feres with behavior. To act simply
and naturally is of more Importance
than to get every detail correct 1t is
better to shake hands at the wrong
time according to the book if you
do it heartily and honestly, than to
pause and stare and show that you
are in doubt as to what to do. Never
despise rules that are helpful; do not
go out of your way to transgress
acceptable ones; but on the Other
hand. do not make laws of those
laid down by other people for Other
csnditions. Be natural and use com
mon sense.

Fridays Year.
Weldon Roanoke News.

Weldon Roanoke News.
The year 1904 is remarkable for
the prominence of it's Fridays. To
begin with, the year started off on
Friday. All Fools day came on Fri
day. There are five months in the
year in which Friday gets the extra
day, viz: January, April, July, Sep
tember, and December. There are
SO Fridays in the year. The ami
versary OF the Mecklenburg Declara-
tion of Independence falls of Friday,
May Goth. ST. Johns day will be
on Friday, June oath. The month
with the glorious fourth in it comes
on Friday. Autumn begins on Fri
day, September 23rd. In 1871 Lord
CORVALLIS surrendered on tn e21st
day of October. That is Friday
this year. st. Simon and st. Jude's
day falls on Friday, October 2Sth.
The greatest meteOric shower ever
know was on November 18th, 1888.
The day is a Friday in 1904. And
during the year there are numerous
Friday Ember days. Let us all hope
that a year in which Friday plays
such an important part may be a
a year OF happiness, peace and pros
perity.

Marion Butler has announced that
he is out of politics and will not serve
again as chairman OF the Populist
national committee.
In other words, having squeezed his
lemon dry he has thrown it away.
Having got all he could out of poll
tics he now seeks pastures new. He
deserted the Democratic party in
order to get Office and make money
He has now abandoned the Populist
party because it has played out and
collapsed.

E. J. Edwards in Everbody's Magazine for
March.
Early in the winter of 1901 the
banking house of j. p. Morgan & Co.,
mailed to certain men of great wealth
in this country and in Europe a cir
cular containing a position. 1t
stated in the fewest possible words
that a syndicate was being organized
to finance the United States Steel
Corporation. The terms Oh which
subscriptions would be received fol-
lowed. That was all.
The response that this circular
evoked was the most tremendous
demonstration of the asset value OF
one mans word ever given. From
all parts of the country letters con-
tanning offers ofsubscribtions, checks,
and pledges of various kinds poured
in on Morgan & Co. Through all the
hours of the day the anteroOm of the
banker was thronged with million
aires, begging as the highest favor
the privilege of participating in the
syndicate. Within a few days the
subscription was closed. The amount
asked was $2OO,OOO,OOO. Had ii
been $4OO,OOO,OOO the Offering
would have been more than sufficient
to meet the call.

NEWSPAPER LOYALTY.
Leaders in Promoting Every Worthy
Enterprise in the Community in
Which They Are Published.
Scotland Neck Commonwealth.

Scotland Neck Commonwealth.
If all the people of the country were
as loyal to every interest that affects
them as the newspapers are to their
towns, counties and State, there
would be a wonderful difference in
things. The newspapers of North
Carolina, and Of other States as
well, daily and weekly, city or coun-
try papers, show more genuine 10y
atty to the communities, towns and
cities in which they labor than any
other institutions orenterprises that
have to do with the public interest.
When did one ever read anything in
local or State paper that reflected
on the locality or the State except in
the purpose and hope OF doing good?
Sometimes papers have to print news
that is unpleasant but the editors
and managers bear more Of such un-
pleasantness than any one else.
Every worthy enterprise is encOur-
aged by the paper or papers OF the
town or city, and in many cases the
papers take the lead in promoting
good enterprises even when there is
no difference to the paper, i'll matters
of dollars and cents, whether such
enterprise succeeds or not. If us
many persons would say good things
for local paper, for instance, as the
paper says for the people in the town
and community they would take
more interestin readingand support
ing the paper themselves. There is
no question about the fact that news
papers are more loyal to towns and
communities than towns and com
munities are to papers. There are
many ways in which the public could
be helpful to papers without cost OF
sacrifice, and in view of the loyalty
of papers to their communities they
ought to do it. Above all, every mar
IN the community ought to keep his
accounts square with his newspaper

How to Circumvent the Wild Onion.
Statesville Landmark.


The Landmark recently published
q co onplaint from Editor Johnson, of
Charity and Children, in regard to
the ravages Of the wild onion. Mr..
A. w. Barkiey, of this vicinity, tells
the Landmark of two simple remedies
practiced by his Reighbors which de-
stroy the effect OF the wild onion on
milk and wheat. Wild onions fre-
quently infest pastures to such ex-
tent that milk tastes of onions, and
often they grow so thick in wheat
that the flour will taste of onions
when the wheat is ground.
To remedy the first trouble put a
spoonful of molasses twice day in
the cows feed. Mr.. Barkley is in
formed and believes that this will de-
stroy the onion odor in milk. For
the second, keep the wheat for several
months after it is threshed, say till
the following summer, and by that
time the onions in it will be SO dry
that they will be eliminated when the
wheat is cleaned at the mill.

was called to order by the chair

The republican national conven
ton now in session in Chicago will
adjourn today. The meeting Is IN
the nature of a three days love feast
as every delegate is in favor OF the
nomination of Pres. Roosevelt.
The only contests are over the Sc
lection of vice president, and over
the wording of the platform. AS
previously arranged, Mr.. Ellhu
Root of New York was made tenn
porary chairman, and Speaker
Cannon of ILL.,, permanent chair
man. For vice president the sen
timen is almost unanimously for
Sen. Fairbanks, of Indiana, and
he will probably be nominated by
acclamation. The platform Will
declare strongly for protection but
will favor a change in tariff sched-
ules "vherever business conditions
demand their change" The only
friction was over the settlement OF
the contest from Wisconsin. Ihe
"stalwart" delegation was seated
and the LaFollett supporters re-
turned home declaring that they
would appeal the case to the voters
of their state. The speech OF Mr.
Root on taking the chair was d

aone during the present admins
tration and will probably be the
