PROF. BELLS AIRsHIP.
Preparations Made for It's Trial al
Badeck

BADECK, n. s., November 16.-For the
purpose of conducting the preliminary
tests of Dr. Graham Bells first flying
machine a float has been constructed
which supports cradle capable of be
ing tipped in either direction. DR.. Bell
says that on this Cradle will rest the
airship. The float will then be toWed
behind powerful tug. and while going
at high speed the cradle will be tipped
and the airsh!p. exposing for the first time
its immense area of silken surface, will
rise.
A flying line from the tug will tnen
provide it with the necessary momentum
to keep it in the air. The line will also
be used to control its flight. The naviga-
tor will be stretched out in the place pro-
vided for him, and he will be employee
in making observations. BY taking into
consideration the velocity of the wind
and the pull on the flying line of the
ship, the exact power required OF the
motor will be determined.

STRONG PERSONALITY OF DIAZ

Mr.. Francis B. Loomis formerly assist
returned from the City of Mexico and
who was there during Mr.. Roots memora-
Bile visit last month, said this morning
in response to inquiry on the subject:
Il think the visit of Secretary Root to
Mexico will have both immediate and en-
during results. He was received with
degree of cordiaity, kindness and en-
thusiasm which put upon his welcome
the unquestionable stamp of genuineness
and sincerity. Mr.. Root was the recipient
of very unusual attentions, and the en-
tertainments given in his honor were
among the most beautiful and splendid
ever witnessed on this continent. In the
fortnight which he spent in Mexico ev-
cry interesting phase of life and activity
was exhibited to him, and at every turn
he must have felt that he was very well
come and highly honored guest
Did Mr. Root see much of President
DiaZ?"
He had the good fortune" said Mr.
Loomis, Ito see President DiaZ on a great
many occasions, and to have many talks
with him. Their liking was immediate
and mutual. Mr.. Root expressed his
opinion of President Diaz in a number
Of strong and excellent speeches which
he made, and President Diaz told me that
he had not talked five minutes with Mr..
Root before he recognized in him many
very strong and interesting qualities The
President of Mexico is swift and sure in
his judgment of men. This highly de-
small degree to the great success which
he has achieved as ruler

Negro Out of Politics.

The negro is out of politics in this sec
tion. In South Carolina he was put out
by force and in North Carolina by legis-
lation. In 1899 the constitution of the
state was amended, making an educa-
tional qualification. which only one negro
in hundred could meet 1t was called
The Grandfather Clause" and was an
ingenious device which permits iiliterate
white men to vote. but not illiterate
negroes. The constitutional amendment
eNcepts from the educational require
ments all persons whose ancestors were
entitled to vote before 1867 That ad-
mittcd to the franchise nearly all white
illiterates, but cut out all the negroes,
except few whose parents were freed
advantage of the privilege.
The grandfather clause" expires in
1905 and every boy who comes of age
after the 1st of January, 1909. be he
black or white, has the right to vote, pro-
vided he can read and write any sec
tion of the Constitution of the United
States in the English language and has
paid his poll tax of 81. The effect will be
to disfranchise illiterates of both races
and admit to the ballot box all negroes
who can comply with the law in the opin-
ion of the Judges of election. The latter
will be exclusively white men and edu-
Gated negroes will be at their mercy
This law has been an inspiration to
negroes more tHan TO whites. Many
adult negroes have learned to read and
write. and have sought educational ad-
vantages for their children with the
hope Of recovering the ballot This has
also been true of the large white ele-
ment, which has come out of the wilder
ness to the factory towns to work in the
cotton mills. but the poor whites who
remain on the farms are Indifferent to
the ballot They have lost interest in
politics and have seldom voted for years.
The negroes were a dangerous element
in local elections in this section, l am
told, because they were usually under
the influence Of the liquor element, and
people tell me here that the prohibition
laws could not have been passed If they
had been allowed to vote. With the
exception of the preachers, the teachers
and few others they have been against
prohibition. But practically no negro
in this section has taken any interest II
politics since his race was disfranc hised
In 1898, and his future attitude in poll
tics does not seem to have provoked
any attention. The democratic leaders
are Indifferent, although change of one
vote in six will make North Carolina
