THAT DIsERANCHISED HOST


Our esteemed contemporary, the Rich
mond News Leader was more disturbed by
our recent editorial, "a DsfrsnchiseC
Host" than 1t was willing to admit. Tht
manner in which it treated the disclosures
we made as to how the poll tax Qualifica-
ton had disfranchised ten thousand white
men in the Ninth Congressional District,
warrants US in believing that those dsclCs.
ures were alarming to it and to the Demo
Gratis throughout Virginia For the first
time, perhaps, they began to realize the
great wrong that had been inflicted by the
Democrats in this State upon the white
men whose elective franchise they had
solemnly pledged should be preserved.
Realizing the full measure of responsibility
on the part of the Democracy for the
present unfortunate condition of the white
electorate, our Richmond contemporary
undertakes to relieve It's party OF the re-
sponsibility by treating the matter with a
degree of levity that is not in keeping with
its gravity. 1t refers to our editorial as
"tearful, eloquent and ferocious in slabs
and sections, like literary club sandwich,
reciting the wrongs of the humble white
citizens who have been deprived of their
votes under the new constitution" 1t
then proceeds to say:
snow. as a matter of cold fact and COM
mon sense, the Republican knows that no
white man IN the district has lost bis right
to vote except by bis own fault"
We are surprised that our contemporary
is SO reckless as to make such an assertion,
80 entirely unsupported by facts and rea-
son. Are these DISTINGUISHED white men
responsible for the understanding clause"
in the new suffrage law or for the poll tax
qualification for voting2 Verify, they are
not, but the Democratic party lie the guilty
one. Here is what our Richmond con.
temporary said of the understanding
clause:
at is part of the suffrage provision of
the new constitution now pending before
the convention, and it requires that GER
tain classes of citizens must explain to the
satisfaction of the county electoral board
The duties of each officer to be elected. If
4 man of this class fails to do this he is
lisfranchised and put in the silent class,
along with the conyiCts, idiots and paus
oers. There is no limit to the power of
he board, no responsibility on its mem
)es, no way Of Furnishing them for OPP
preston or unfaithfulness, however fla

Small towns for circuses." said M

miles around sends in its inhabitants

and the expenses are very much light

away, taxes and licenses are low, and
the rent Of the grounds is light. In

Rural Mail Routes.

Washington, Jan. 5-There are
2s4 rural free routes doing business
in the State of South Carolina. On
an average they deliver mail to 600
people each. It will be seen from
this that about l75,000 people get
the benefit of rural free delivery in
the State. It costs just about $500
year to operate one of these
routes, and Uncle San is, therefore,
paying into the State of South Car
olina alone the tidy little sum of
$175,OO0 year for a service that is
entirely for the benefit of the people.
The average route is about % miles
long, 20 that the rural carriers of
South Carolina travel in the neigh
borhood of $500 miles every day.
Each route covers about eighteen
square miles of territory, so that the
free delivery system of South Caro-
lima covers over 5000 square miles
of territory.
The people OF the State have
asked for 713 routes in all. OF these
2S4 have been granted and 2S3 have
been rejected. The other l4G are
still pending. It will be observed
from these figures that the people
are getting just about half as many
routes as they are asking for. At
the same ratio, when all the petit
tions have been acted upon, there
will be 357 routes and as many car
riers in the State. The figures of
the department show many inter-
esting things in connection with
rural free delivery in South Caro-
lima. 10 the first place they show
that free delivery seems to be the
universal desire in some districts
while in others it seems to enjoy lit
tie popularity.
Mr.. Lever has 40 routes in opera
ton 10 his district, 2l petitions pend
ing Investigation, and there have
been A reflections, making los petit
tions submitted from that district.

Catarrh is a systemic disease curable
only by systemic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at
the depressed nerve ccntcrs. This is
what Peruna does.
Peruna Immediately invigorates the
nerve-centers which give vitality to the
mucous membranes. Then catarrh dis
appears. Then catarrh is permanently
cured.
