proving with the means the negro
race has had since the war, he has be-
come more demoralized in the inverse
ratio of his manifold advantages. With
public schools all over the State to edu-
cate the young and chances for honest
laborers in the fields and workshops,
the young negro is more debauched,
immoral and unfit for public conf
dence than ever. some have improv-
ed and measure up to the higher
standards of civilization, but the ma
jority, and the great majority at that
have little claim upon the highest
privilege Of American citizenship-the
right of suffrage. These are plain
words but they themselves are the
living proofs of their truth. No one
regards the ordinary right of the
negro to live happy, to work and re-
ceive the benefits of law and educa-
ton, more than we do, but when it
comes To the polling booth, We draw
the line. They were given the ballot
by the Republicans under carpet bag
rule" with chattel mortgage attach
ment, and it has been foreclosed at
every election ever since. The Re-
publican party have much to answer
for in the present undesirable con-
dition of the negro in the State.
Politics has corrupted them and it is
time to put an end to it. Both the
negro and the white man will be bene-
fitted thereby and no one who looks at
the mater in the proper light will fail
to see it that way. The Democratic
party is making the fight IN earnest
and with full regard for every possible
contingency. 1t lisa matter that should
appeal strongly to every white woman
in the State and much assistance in
this campaign can be given by them.
Wherever the interests of women are
enlisted success ascertain. Theirinflu-
ence over the sterner sex is marked in
every step in life, and they can help Il
worthy cause by reading up on the
Amer dment and using their effort to
gain recruits. We feel certain of their
support and cOntidentially predict the
successful termination of the contest in

Meeting of the Demo-

Saturday, Aug. 10th.

Mr.. J. z. BiSer chairman OF
the Democratic Central Com.
mittee has called the new County
Central Committee to meet at
Braddock Heights. on Saturday,
Aug. 10, at ll.3O, to organize and
appoint committees to conduct
the present campaign. This Is
a most pleasant departure since
it brings together the young
men of the county as we'll as the
ladies and a most delightful day
will be enjoyed by all. Several
bands of music will be in at
tendance and special orchestra
for dancing has been engaged.
Even in the event of rain there
are large covered pavilionS which
will hold from a thousand to fit
teea hundred people. A lunch
of hot coffee and sandwiches
will be served to those who find
it inconvenient to bring picnic
baskets. This should be mon.

full distribution of it, for 1t Is
frank in the extreme.
The Postoffice Department hav-
ing gotten through for a time at
least with the grafters inside its
doors, is now trying to deal with
the outside grafters who have
been making money out of raising
postal money orders. Of course
the Government is not likely to
lose directly by this process as
the orders are written in carbon
duplicate and the carbon copy is
sent to the paying postmaster who
compares it with the money order
presented before handling out the
coin called for. 1t seems how
ever, that a good many store keep
ers have been rather lax in the
cashing of money orders, for
strangers and there have been a
good many cases of orders for
twenty. five and fifty cents that
have been raised to correspond
ing number of dollars. These
have been cashed by unSuspecting
store and saloon keepers and the
grafters have gotten off with the
difference. Now Postmaster Gen
eral Cortelyou has devised a
punched out money order like a
bank check that it is hoped will
defy the raisers and will leave the
graft, if there is any, inside the
department with the men who sell
the machines for punching the
orders.

PRINCE GEORGES and St. Mary's
Counties have joined the Democratic
procession in hearty favor of the Con-
stitutional Amendment. Not only
this but they tell why in well worded
resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted. The ST. Mary's Convention
nominated a county ticket and the
Prince Georges assembly adjourned
to respond to a sail by their chairman
for that purpose The latter county
is in what is known as the BLACK
Beit' of the State, and much of the
sentiment in favor of the disfranchise-
ment of the negro voter was created
10y the many lawless acts committed
IN that section 10 which attention was
called by the many able articles in the
Baltimore Sun. This did much to
bring many recalcitrant Democrats
back to their own in 1903, after they
had strayed away since 1857. They
came back when the control of the
State by the better element OF its citi-
Gems was threatened, and it Looks like
they will stand by it in the fight being
made against it. In nearly every
county in the State, and We can call to
mind none that oppose it directly, the
people are warm in their favor for he
amendment, especially the women ana
children. 1t is among these that the
greatest battles viii be fought. Their
approval will win the day, for what
woman cannot control her husband.
brother, father, or sweetheart in the
matter of voting on such a question?
1t is a vital matter for them in many
sections of the State aud they should
baud together for the benefit of them
selves and other interests that so truly
demand it. The amendment is the
real issue now, and later ON will vie
with the popularity of the various
candidates. Let no Democrat shirk
his duty. Let him keep posted on all
facts that pr rtain TO the amendment
and talk 1t up to his friends. 1t is up
TO you Democrats, to carry the Consti-
/ tutlonal Amendment.

A YELLOW STREAK

There has been another stir in social
circles similar To that created when
Roosevelt lunched BROKER T. Wash
ington, the negro educ tor, at the White
House. This time it is John Wanna
maker, the great department store
owner, who has made himselfthe cvnu-
sure OF all eyes by dining, together with
his family, with Bro ker I. Washing
ton at Saratoga Spring. 1t is said the
greatest excitement prevailed when tie
party walked through the hotel dining
room. Though John did it as an ad-
vertisement-he b. ing one of the great
est users OF newspaper space in the
country-we are of the opinion that
it will work the 9TH way. Some one
has well said that in many notable per-
sonages can be discovered a yellow
streak" This is a case in poiut, and
If the merchant prince sought to show
il up to the best advantage, he surely
succt eded. He may be an advocate of
the "social equality" doctrine-and
there are many Of them up his way
but we question his fine Anglo-Saxon
discrimination and sense of the fitness
of things, And besides this, Brooker
Washington would be doing his race
an in stimable service if he RETAINED
from such improprieties He practices
differently from what he breaches and
in this way traduces his many worthy
works in other lines.

Two more Democratic County Con-
ventions have declared Enthusiastically
for the Constitutional Amendment,
and the delegates are ready to take off
their coats and work for its succt s.
There can be no question as to the pro-
priety of the proposition, its popularity
and the certainty of the results. The
negro himself will learn to thank
those who indirectly put him in the
way of making some better use of him
self than to be the chattel of shrewd
Republican workers, who only think
of him about election time, then and
then only for selfish reasons. 1t is
modest to say that the Republican pol
itician is very much against the
amendment.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
More About Captain Wirz and the
Historic Pistol.


To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
The Second Alabama regiment was the
first troops sent to Andersonville, Ga. to
guard the federal prisoners, and remained
there during the time that Captain Wirz
was in command. He was the most inhu-
man and brutal officer l ever saw to the
Confederates and Federals alike. The
company officers and privates of the
Twenty-eighth Alabama regiment became
so enraged that one night when he was
seated at his supper table they walked in
and took him out and set him astraddle
of a fence rail. One end of the rail rested
on A. p. Dodds shoulder, the other end
was resting on Taut Richards shoulder.
Bully Jones swung to one of his legs and
s. p. Lane swung to the other Then the
procession moved off. He was carried
through our camp and ON to Anderson
Vile and back. There was but one wreck
in the procession. That was in crossing
the creek. The rail carriers fell down
In the creek and the captain was nearly
drowned before the boys could get on
their feet again. When he hit the soil he
emigrated. Thus we got rid of the man
that once owned the historic pistol
cannot say positively that the historic
pistol is the one Captain Wirz used to
shoot defendless prisoners at Anderson
Vile In that act we raised our reputa-
tion to such a height that General john
son invited us up to New Hope church to
take part in the exercises with him after
General. Hood took charge of the meet.

lin and Nashville and back down into Mis-

worst of it, the Twenty-eghth or Cap
tain Wirz. They were sent to the front
and he was hung
Now, l contend that those who par
ticipated in that heroic act are entitled to
as much honor and care as the historic
pistol. WILLIAM BERRY,
