widow of the late John w. Moore, de-
She was born May 4th, 184O, in CLAY
county, North Carolina. Her maiden
name was Hyatt. When she was quite
young her parents removed to Macon
county, North Carolina, near Franklin,
where her childhood days were spent.
On October II, 1861, she was happily
married to John w. Moore, who died
about three years ago. Soon after their
marriage he went to the war, where he
remained in the service of his. country
four years. During those years the
young wife saw her husband only three
times. After the close of hostilities
they made their home near Highlands,
N. c., where, broken in purse, but not
in spirit, they began the work of build
ing home. She was indeed helpmeet
to her husband, and during his absence
on business often spent several days at
home alone. Walhalla was their princi-
pal market, and Mr.. Moore did most of
his business here. After few years
they removed to Hiawassee, Towns
county,, Georgia, and later to Cor
nelia, Georgia. Their children being
grown. and one son, DR.. j. Fl. Moore,
having located at Fair Play, the aged
loGhoA auu Cduo " tudR0 GuSlT
home under his roof. He esteemed it a
great privilege to be able to care for
them in their declining years. Five
children were born to them, of whom
three survive, viz: Mrs. DR.. J. A. York,
of Minneola, Texas; l.. n. Moore, of
Blue Ridge, Ca, and DR.. j. 81. Moore, of
Walhalla. Her son, l.. FL. Moore, arrived
a few hours after her death. At an
early age she united with the Methodist
church. Her life was adorned by the
Christian graces. Her home was known
as the preachers home. For many years
she was great sufferer from a complica-
tion of diseases, but she bore her afflic-
ton with Christian fortitude and resigna-
ton. When the final summons came
she was ready and gently fell on sleep.
Her body was carried to Cornelia, Ca,
where it was inferred Sunday afternoon,
at o'clock, by the side of her husband
and daughter, after funeral services con-
Quoted by Rev. Hovey Clyde. A good
woman has gone to her reward. To the
bereaved children is extended the SYM
pathy of many friends.

CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTA-
TON.

A plank in the republican plat
form in regard to congressional rep
resentation hits the democrats in a
sore spot. 1t is we'll known that the
disfranchisement of t'' negroes in
many southern states is an accom-
plished fact. In the early days of
negro enfranchisement following the
was, when the colored voters were
in the majority Kuklux gangs were
organized, and by violence and in
timidation the colored voters were
kept from the polls, or their votes
were .uncounted in sufficient numbers
to defeat political supremacy, The
wisdom of granting the suffrage to
the freed colored people may be
questioned. AS matters have turned
out it has not worked well. 1t has
probably done much to retard the
south, and it certainly has not i'm
proved the condition of the colored
citizens of that region. 1t is not in
human nature for a superior race tC
submit to domination by an inferior
race. The higher intelligence was
bound to fret under the yoke, and
devise methods to assert it's SUI
premacy. The outcome might and
perhaps ought to have been foreseen.
In most of the states where coloreo
citizens are sufficiently numerous tC
threaten preponderance at the polls
laws have been enacted designed
to bar the colored citizens from the
ballot box. They are citizens under
United States laws; they are shut
out from the polls under state
laws, or under fear of violence
Whether these restrictive laws shut
out some white voters at the same
time is immaterial. They were
aimed specially at the colored voters
and were prompted by racial ami
mostly. Without denying the right
of the states to limit the right of
suffrage, the republican platform
favors reduction of the representa-
tion in congress and the electora
college in proportion to the limita-
ton of suffrage. The democratic
plank makes no square cut issue on
this point, but denounces the repub.
lican platform as an attempt to
rekindle racial and sectional strife
We give the two planks in parallel
columns.
