] The Y. NJ. C. A. Star Course has
the pleasure to announce the coming
of Messrs- Morphet & Stevenson, as
sisted by an able pianist. Their
! performances are a fine exhibition
of the latest wonders in Oriental
magic, high class prestidigitation
and realistic ventriloquism, in fact,
4 the program comprises so many
! wonderful, beautiful and startling
features that even two hours deyot-
led to its presentation, there is never
a moment in which they fail to hold
lyour attention. Instrumental solos

and effective musical act, with Just
the refined touch of comedy.
Their work is thoroughly artistic
and always. of high class order. Hay
ing appeared so often throughout
the country with continued success.
these popular entertainers need no
further introduction. The recent
addition of many effective novelties
has strengthened their already fine
program, placing it in the very
front rangs in this class of enter
tainments.
Mr.. Morphet is known as a pres
tidigitateur Cor slight of handy
His dexterity and originality are
seldom, if ever, equaled. He is pos
sessed of gentlemanly humor and a
magnetism that never fails to win.
His unique entertainments embraces
the most wonderful experiment in
the art Of high class slight of hand.
1t is at once classical, marvellous, re
fined and INSTRUCTIVE. This year he
carries the largest line of musical
novelties ever before presented by
him. Another amusing feature is
yentriloquism, which, like magic,
saturates the whole program with
drollery as well as mystery.
Herodotus tells us that during the
whole time he was in Egypt he heard
only one song and that was a sad
one. Had Herodotus lived in the
present age he would have marvelled
at the number of songs and the many
musical instruments that are heard
from day to day, yet we doubt if
even the average person realizes how
many there are. Mr.. William TT.

NEGRO THE ISSUE
Shall His Vote be Now
Restricted?
On This Line The Democrats of Mary

Election.
(By the Associated Press.) }

Baltimore, Md, Sept 28.-At the
Democratic State Convention of Mary
land which was held in Ford's Opera
House, this city, today, Comptroller of
the State Gordon Il. Atkinson was re-
nominated and Il platform adopted
which, excepting a paragraph lndors-
ing the excellent, business administra-
ton of the present Democratic gov
ernor, Edwin Warfield, is wholly de-
voted to the advocacy of the pro-
posed constitutional amendment to
restrict negro suffrage which will be
voted upon at the November election.
The platform declares as follows:
by common consent, the only is
sue in this campaign is whether negro
suffrage, put upon us against our Will.
by force, shall be restricted and its
power for evil destroyed.
"This Democratic convention, rep
resenting two-thirdS of the white peo-
pie of the State, reaffirms the declara-
ton of our party in our platforms OF
1899 and 1908 upon this subject, and
now proclaims anew our resolute pur-
pose to maintain the supremacy OF
our race and it's control by all lawful
and constitutional means of the ad-

Mr.. Dowd's Statement.

People all over the State are watch
ing with interest the developments in
the strike of the union printers at
Charlotte. There is no lack of nerve
being shown on either side. There
is a flicker of humor on the surface
of things, notably in the typographical
appearance of the papers, but be-
meath one sees the grim expression OF
fixed resolve. Speaking from the en-
ployers point of view President w.
C. Dowd, of the News Publishing
Company, came out yesterday in the
following editorial statement:
News readers and advertisers are
asked to be lenient for a few days.
Il returned from a business trip to
New York at 10 o'clock last night,
/ requested the men in my office to
work today in order that / might in
the meantime confer with them. This
they refused. l asked them to give
me until IL o'clock today, and was
informed that unless l acceded to
their demands by Z o'clock this morn
ing they would refuse to go to work.
/ refused to accede to their demands
and my men walked out.
Briefly the strike is for an eight
hour work day with nine hours pay.
Few of the men in this office work
more than eight hours, and they make
from 1880 to $25 per week. We have
made concession after concession to
them for years until we can stand
it no longer. Henceforth we will run
this shop according to our own ideas
or shut it up.
I'VE deeply regret this trouble, but
we did not make it. Few of our men
wanted to quit. The trouble has been
brought on by agitators and distur-
bers. Most of our men have been
here for years and we have become
attached to many Of them. They will
suffer and so will we. We shall be
badly handicapped for some time to
come, but whatever the cost, we will
not yield to these unreasonable de-
mands.
IF our friends will bear with us
we will soon be in shape to give them
good service"
In another place in the same issue
in heavy black display type, appeared
the following advertisement for type

"Typewriters can earn big money
on linotype machines. Ladies pre-
ferred. Apply at once.
News Publishing Company, w. c.
Dowd, Mgr"
Meanwhile amid the wild, grim
dance" of all sorts, sizes and condi-
tions of type, the Observers poet rolls
up his sleeves, and inspired perhaps
by the fumes of conflict breaks forth
with the following:
THE STRIKE.
Our devil is promoted
To the ranks of demigod
Our galley boy is setting type
While a new man heaves the hod.
Our cub stands by the hellpot
Oh, you never saw the like
OF rustling since our printers tried
To force us with a strike.
They thought they had us on the hip,
Light work and heavy pay.
Their stern demand, for which most
Are we'll content to pray.
They thought they had us helpless,
loads.
But will change their minds, no
doubt,
For if we uns engraVe 1t all
The papers coming out.
Oh, dream you not that any place
Cannot be soon supplied,
Our editor is setting ads,
And proving on the side.
We've rolled our sleeves up shoulder
high
Are laughing at our luck,
And we will send the sheet to press
If a thousand printers struck.
Light work and heavy wages
They took their coats and went
They thought to punish us but soon
Their savings will be spent,
And when they saunter down the
street
They'll hear the same old shout
OF the newsboys on the corner
For the papers coming out.
All Of which goes to show that life
in Charlotte just now presents TO the
student of modern conditions points
of profound interest.

St Petersburg, Sept. 2S.-M. Witte
arrived here today and was accorded
a very hearty reception by a large
crowd Of officials and others. In
brief speech replying to n welcoming
address, M. Witte showed clearly that
he was deeply touched by the well
come with which he was received.
When he left st. Petersburg, in july
a small delegation of officials accom-
panied him to the railroad station to
bid farewell. There was no pub
lie demonstration whatever Today
there were seven or eight times as
many officials and a very enthusiastic
crowd of five or six thousand people.
The crowd had collected near where
NJ. Wittc would descend from the
train and when he appeared they
broke out into long and loud cheers.
to which M. Witte bowed acknowledge
ment. The spokesmen then advanced
and read an address of welcome.
NJ. Witte. who seemed deeply moved
by the sincerity of the welcome ad-
Vanced a few steps and delivered his
reply. He said:
"T was so little prepared for this
kind reception that / must ask your
pardon for the mcoherence of my
words. ] have performed my duty
Well, because I have strictly obeyed
His Majesty's instructions, because
circumstances favored me- because
the world is weary of this bloody war.
because all classes of American So
ciety, from President Roosevelt down
were in sympathy with my and your
cause, because | was true to my coun-
try and her and our interests"
M. Witte's last word was followed
by further loud and hearty cheering,
and he was cheerd again as he drove
away.

Especial to News and Observer
Charlotte, n. c., Sept. 2S.-The
Charlotte News this afternoon declares
in unmistakable terms that the fight
against the union printers has been
won by the master printers. Both
the News and the Chronicle came out
on time this afternoon. The News
contained its full quota of telegraphic
and local news and the Chronicle
showed little signs of the impending
strike.
Early this morning four machine
men from Philadelphia arrived and
commenced work at once; others will
be in on the night trains.
The union printers issued a state
ment this afternoon that was pub
lished in circular form. 1t contains
no new matter. only setting forth the
former claims of the typographical
union. The men claim that they will
continue the fight. There has been
no trouble. though it may occur at any
moment. The employing printers
have made up their minds not to yield
one inch if they have to shut down
their plants, but the situation has i'm
proved greatly since yesterday and
each day the newspapers expect it to
be an easier matter to get out their
publications.
The Unions Contention.
The following telegram giving the
printers side of the contention, was
received last night:
Charlotte, N c., Sept, 2S.-The
printers position is eight hours work
and do as we please with the other six
teen. We presented the following
ic QEAT1f-
--witnesseth that the party of
the first part by signature hereto at
tached agrees to recognize eight hours
as a days work by the members of
the aforementioned Typographical
Union, parties of the second part, as
a days work on and after January LIST.
Ie is expressly stated and understood
that this agreement shall in no way be
construed to have any effect what
ever on the present scale of prices or
use of the label, but that it is a Sepa-
rate and ristinct agreement, and in
no way constitutes q bar to neSotia-
tions between the parties on any other
line"
The master printers refused The
printers walked ouf.No other con-
cesSion was asked for. The printers
offer to consider any proposition that
does not include recession from the
eight hour day The fight is quiet and
orderly. The printers will not return
to nine hours. Usually good feeling
prevails between the opposing parties.
There is no prospect of settlement for
several days. The printers insist that
they have given employers every due
consideration. The proprietors knew
the controversy was coming and stated
before hand that they had prepared
themselves for it.

To Set Aside the Lease.

The following information was re-
ceived from some directors and stock
holders of said railroad this afternoon
A suit was this day instituted against
the Atlantic and North Carolina Com
pany, and the Atlantic and North
Carolina Railroad for the purpose OF
setting aside the lease of that railroad.
1t is understood that some two thous-
and shares of private stock is inter
ested in this suit. The people in this
section are much against the lease
and feel that a great property right
has been unlaWfully taken from them,
and at price much under its value.
For instance the entire road with all
of it's equipments, franchise and privl-
leges has been leased to the Rowland
Improvement Company now the At
larJic and North Carolina Company,
at fifty-three thousand dollars per
year, when the year before, when 1t
was operated under great difficulties,
it's net earning was more than seventy
eight thousand dollars per anhum.
And the present lessees made a net
earning Of seventy-nine thousand dol
lars for the first seven months. East
ern North Carolina is increasing in
commercial, agricultural and manufac-
turing industries more rapidly than
ever before known, IN tnlS country, =,
and further that the harbors of the
South Atlantic seaboard must of neceS-
sity share in this increased value
" hich will be produced by the con-
struction of the Panama canal by the
United States government. We. are
Informed that the basis of the suit is
the lack of power of the directors and
stockholders to make the lease, and
the violations of the various covenants
therein, especially the raising of the
freight rates from ten to one hundred
per cent in direct violation of one If
the covenants therein.
