INCARCERATION

1t is the boast of the AnSlo-SaXon
Of the south that there is no danger
of miscegenation; hat the two races
VIC have here will never amalgamate:
that the white people excepting a few
of the most degraded, will never in
termarry with the negroes. Some MAIN
tain that the self-respect and pride of
the white people will prevent a COM
ningling of the blood of the two races
and that, therefore, there is no neces-
sity for stringent laws against inter-
marriage of whites and blacks. There
is much force in this argument, but it
is not conclusive, as is proven by iso-
lated cases which occur now aud then,
despite the law against it and the over
whelming public sentiment in favor of
Keeping the two races entirely Scpar-
ment against social intercourse so
strong land it is not only the whites
who oppose social intercourse and mis-
cegenation, but the better class of ne

Immigration as a Factor,

By a curious coincidence several OF
the southern newspapers are printing
today an interview with Colonel Rob-
ert Gates, n of the vice presidents Of
the Southern Industrial Parliament.
which recently assembled in this city.
in which he deplores the wide range of
topics that the recent parliament tried
to discuss, and urges that the energies
of the organizations be bent upon Sc
curing immigration to the south, with
the resulting development of industries
and the attraction of capital. The
crying need Of immigration was in
fact, the dominant note of many of
the speeches.
The aspect of the Civil war, which
Confederate veterans today are most
prone to dwell upon, is the extra
strength which the north gained from
its immigrant population. The two
sections started out in 1887 about equal
in population. The slave states in
sisted that they should not be put at
a disadvantage in the senate, by pro-
vidlng that one slave state should
come in with each free state. But the
balance in the house of representatives
based On population, they could not
thus maintain. The tables showing
the population of the two sections BIZ
decades reveal a constantly widening
disparity in favor of the free states.
and this was largely tue to the immi-
grafton which they attracted, that was
repealed from the slave holding area.

Disgusting the fact, h~umiiiatinG as it
ma be TO make the admission, that
we need the law in this state prohibit
ing marriage between the two races.
Were it not for that law there would
now and then occur such q marriage,
and as years go ON they would occur
with greater frequency. We suppose
some people will be Mortified at this
statement, but what facts can be pro-
duced TO refute it's truth? On the
other hand, are not the facts. so far
as they go, in confederation of the al
legation?
This Arson county case is given by
the W%adesboro Messenger and Intelli-
gencer as follows:
There was a remarkable hearing
here last Saturday before Clerk of the
Court T. C. Robinson. Frank Robin
SON. colored. of Gulledge township.

Lester Tucker. a white man living in
the same township. also petitioned the
clerk tc the same effect. and the hear
ing. as above stated. was had Sat
urday. The extraordinary feature of
the hearing was fuckers testimony.
which is given in part below. Among
other things he said: eff I am allow
ed to adopt Ellis / would treat him as
my own: I would treat him like a son
l have never whipped him: I threaten
ed him once: Ellis mother gave him

Gied: I want the relation OF father ana
son established between me and Ell
lis"
It is hardly necessary to say that
the clerk turned the boy yer to his
grandfather, who proved a good char
acter.
We do not know of anything more
disgusting and repulsive recorded in
this state. We cannot understand the
motives which led this man to such an
application. We are glad to note that
the clerk of the court refused the APP
p~lication Of the white man who wish
ed to adopt as his son this negro child.

parfment Of the commissioners work
has secured the holding OF two negroes
in Person county for barn burning and
of one man in Orange ccunty for he
same offense. Ii appears that the lat
ter was the agent of one or the iar-
mers mutual fire insurance companies
and that his motive in setting hre to
the buileing was to induce his neigh
bors TO see the benefits of insurance
and insure their property. Scott also
secured the arrest of five men in Gull
ford, for burning barns. Il appears
that these men are part Of a gang OF

TIME FOR PEACE In THE EAST.

Count CaSsini, the Russian ambassa-
dor at Washington, says his country
must keep the war up; that Russia has
no idea of suing for peace. While he
is doing this kind Of boastful talking
it is highly probable that peace nego-
tiatOns have already been begun at
Washington. No one expects Russia's
ruler to 90, in sack cloth and ashes,
with a rope around his neck, to the
Mikado and sue for peace; but the
whole world. the ear, we believe. in
cluded, recognizes the fact that Rus
STA has been defeated. There is no
prOlong hostilities.
Japan must win in the end. Russia
will nOn Of her lost prestige
by putting off the inevitable day. The
time must come when she will have to
admit that Japan has gotten the best
of her. The longer hat day is post
pOned the greater will be the demands
of the victorious enemy. Every day
that the war lasts adds just so much
to Japan's bill for indemnity. Every
Japanese soldier who is killed from
now on will make a further money
demand on Russia.
There can be no doubt that Russia
recognizes this fact and also that the
Japanese are not going to be cheated
out of the fruits of their victory as
China.
The powers Of Europe and the
United States should force her to come
to terms with Japan II she shows a
disposition to continue the onesided
fight. The civilized world is tired and
Disguised with this affair. They should
call a halt and force peace. The COM
merce of the world should be allowed
to suffer no longer just because of the
false pride of the naughty Muscovite.
President Roosevelt sees the situa-
ton as it really exists. He is willing
to act as mediator. He knows that
Russia should come to terms. If the
car does not take the hint he has
thrown out we hope our president will
follow il up with a more emphatic
statement and show to the world that
the United States is ready to join in
a movemnt to force peace upon these
belligerents.
1t is highly probable that Russia
their Washington representatives, with
Mr.. Roosevelt as mediary, the initial
steps toward cessation of hostilities
and the formation of peace. We are
afraid, though, hat such peace will
not be Of long duration. Japan is an
ambitious power and has just learned
her strength. Russia is pulled up
with pride and is smarting under the
defeat she has received at the hands
of the little despised island empire.
Unless Russia abandons her long cher
ished scheme of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT in the
far east these two powers cannon re-
main at peace for any length of time.
1t will be hard to make Russia believe
that she has been completely whipped
or to convince Japan that she cannot
defeat her at any time in the future
she chooses to undertake another war
against Russia's attempt to extend her
sway in the east.
