WHO CAN VOTE.

It should be borne in mind by the friends of all candidates that only le- gal votes should be cast at tomorrow's primary. The laws governing pri- mary election are just the same as those for general State elections. A man not entitled to vote at a primary is subject to the same pains and pen- alties as one who illegally votes when State and County officers are regular Iy chosen. No candidate should want 60 be elected by illegal votes. It ought to be our pride and boast, es- pecially when 1t is contest fin which only Democrats participate, that there is no semblance or countenancing of fraud. Tn the days of our fathers 1t was considered a disgrace to cheat at an election. The father of our dis tinguished townsman, General J. w. "A. Sanford in the fifties. was elected to the Georgia State Senate, and so nice was his sense of honor that he declined to take the seat, because of Year that some voters might have been influenced in his favor by hospitality that he had shown them. That's the spirit we ought to try and revive in our day and generation.
 Tn order to vote every requirement of the general election law should be compiled with. The vote of no man. no matter who he is. should be re- ceived by election managers, unless he is regularly registered. Tn case the name of a voter who has been regis tered should not appear on the list the presentation of his registration cer- tifcate is amply sufficient to show that his vote should be received. In mak- ing and transcribing names mistakes may occur and in a case of this sort a voter should not lose his rights. If. however. his name is not on the books and he cannot produce a certificate his vote should be reje ted.
 All those who owe any poll tax money are disqualified. This matter should have been attended to on or before the 1st of last February and payment since that time does not re- move the disqualification. Line upon dine and precept upon preeept was spread before the people urging that this great duty be discharged and any svho have failed to comply with the law have only themselves to blame for . not being able to vote tomorrow Managers of elections in the interest of fairness and justice should sec tc it that the law is complied with.
 In addition to statute law there is a party law laid down by the party'' executive authority. the State Com. naittee. One requirement. of that-1av looks to conhning the votes cast to morrow to Democrats alone, and 1T order to secure this safeguard pro vides that no person shall be allowed to vote who voted against State o County nominees two years ago. NJ man who cannot meet this requirement should expect to vote. We have hear' that men in different parts of tn State known not to be Democrats ex pected to participate in tomorrow election. This ought not to be al lowed and election managers shoul, Figidly enforce party law.
 Again we say let tomorrow's cleo <, tion be in perfect compliance wit state and party law.

FOR BETTER SCHOOL BUILDINGS

The appeal of Mrs. E. D. Thames, of Greenville, for better rural school houses in Alabama should touch a re- sponsive chord in the hearts of all Alabamians and especially of all lovers of children, for 1t refers to matter that directly concerns and af- fects the child life of the country. As general proposition the cities have good school buildings. Many thou sands of dollars have been spent in Montgomery, for example, in the erec- | ton of commodious, well-arranged and properly ventilated school houses, and much more will be spent in the future. It is not merely Chat there shall be plenty of room but that there shall be good light and proper ventilation. and also suitable sanitary arrangements. All this is not merely for the comfort and convenience of the pupils but for their health and to facilitate their studies.
 To a great extent it is entirely diff ferent in the country, though in many sections there has been decided tm- provement Our older readers can call to mind school houses that were discredit to civilized communities Children of all ages were crowded to- gether-penned up, would be a bette term-in houses that would hardly bt used by a humane man for horses ol cattle. Frequently they were SC small that the children were literally packed in them. There was insufh cient light, little ventilation and nc thought of sanitation. That the chil dren acquired an education and re tained health under such conditions il an evidence of the rugged vitality O the country people.
 In many rural districts great ad vance has been made in this respect but there is yet much lacking, ever where the greatest changes have beeI made. It is now admitted on all hand 1 that it is the duty of the State to edu

 But at this time and hour we come forward earnestly and intensely to arr raign the leaders of the negro race, that they have not themselves CO., operated to suppress this crime Ihey have met in convention, they nave passed resolutions, they have orated tierceIy about lynch law and they have denounced Southern men ana methods, but they have been shamefully and criminally silent in making their voices heard in stern and persistent denun- citation of the crime that produces lynching. Many men and individuat members of the negro race who mag nifty the lawlessness of lynching above the crime that produces 1t, have even aided the confessed criminal against the virtue of our women by secreting him from the officers of the law, by providing change of clothes and by conniVing in every way to aid i'll hls escape from the outraged agents of so- ciety. Upon this basis we arraign the leaders-the teachers, the preachers, negro race as particeps crlminis and co-criminals with the rapist when they fail to cooperate fully and freely with the white race in the swift punishment of this awful crime.
 Until the negroes are taught from the pulpit, from the teachers chair and from the printed page to help the white to hunt down the scoundrels and
 
 themselves guilty in part of the crimes which we revenge. They make the ne- groes think that every black criminal whq is lSnfhsd f is bsT martgF nas to tns minds of the inferior race by their fierce diatribes and protests against lynching. But neither their pulpits | thunder nor their presses spout preachments against the criminal and | the crimes which make lynehing pos
 We are getting tired of these one sided Jerematds; We haye gS no a patenct enc, help the white man to inttmidate th' negro criminal

Let HIS have less 0 1 these fierce denunciations of the mol l minds of the Caucasians of the Soutt i Let negro editors and the negro teach 1 CTS get busy with the vigorous use q | their lungs and their lead pencils against the crime which. if not sup pressed. will ultimately destroy thet' | race.

cate its children, but the question of duty does not stop here. Those who have the control and management yof our educational affairs are morally under obligation to preserve the health of the scholars, as well as to educate them. An overcrowded, bac- ly lighted and ventilated school room is not conducive to the health of chil- dren, and the State has not done It's whole duty when it fails to provide healthy and comfortable quarters for all pupils.
 And there is another point to De considered in connection with the edu- cation of children. There is close relationship between body and mind and the condition of one affects the other. The time that average country boys and girls can spend in school IS not long, at best hence. it is mani festlv essential that the time shall be used to the 6est advantage. An un- comfortably situated child cannot study properly. If the light is insuf- ficient. if the pupils are badly crowd ed. and if proper ventilation is absent all of which go to make the child re-tless, uncomfortable and dissatis- fled. study will not proceed satisfac- torily. That fact does not receive as much attention as 1t should.
 All these considerations add to the l importance of the work which has been undertaken by the Federation or Women's Clubs and by others who are interested in the present and future welfare or the children of Alabama :. The interview with Professor Joel c. l DuBose printed in Fridays Advertiser shows what one man is doing to fur ther this commendable object, and he and others who are interesting them- selves in the good work should have the aid and encouragement of all the people of Alabama. It should espe' l cialIy interest the women, the present and future mothers of the children who must be the pillars of the State and of society in the future. If the I women in the various counties will in- I [terest themselves actively in the good work there will be no failure.
 But this work and this burden should not fall entirely on individuals As we said at the outset, 1t Is the duty of the State to provide for the health and comfort ofsthe children as well as for their education. For this reason there should be an annual appropria-
 ton of funds. to be used for no other purpose but to erect suitable school houses wherever they are needed. An annual appropriation, properly ex-
 pended, would soon effect great and desirable change in the conditions tn the rural districts of the State. Ii cannot be done all at once, but can be done gradually and effectually. In some cases the counties would supple ment the States appropriation and fin others the people of the communities
 would join in and secure the erection
 of suitable houses for school purposes
 The main point is that the rural dis
 tricts should have better school ac-
 commodatiohs than they now have
 and the State should aid in securing
 them.

It won't do 10 gamble in cotton, you'll go broke every time.

 London Special to The New Orleans
 Times Democrat.
 The latest news from Cuba causes an increasingly serious view to pc taken here of the disturbances in the island. There Is a genuine dread that they may reach such proportions that America must intervene, in which case, according to the general impression here, Cuba will eventually come qn- m der the American flag and tariff, to the serious idetriment of Englands large trade with that republic.
 From the political point of view there are many who say that the in surreetion merely emphasizes the American foolishness of granting self government to a people utterly unfit for the exercise of its privileges, and the lesson is adduced that England should not grant selfgovernment 10 the Transvaal and to orangla in south Af- rica.
