THE JIM CROW PLANK.

When the Democratic convention
at Charleston Inserted the anti-ne-
gro planKs in the state Platform,
many men of both political part
declared that III stake hal been
made from the standpoint of ex-
pediency Since the ell ct on many
have pointed to the result as proof
;hat blunder was made. careful
analysis OF the vote fails to sus-
tain such a contention, however
On the contrary, it proves the claim
OF the Register that If the election
had depended upon the white voters
of West Virgin a, Louis Bennett
would have been elected governor.
Official returns Of the canvass OF
the vote In Mcdowell AMI Fayette
Uwo of the counties in the black
belt having the largest number OF
colored voters, were received by the
Register yesterday. In Mcdowell
the Taft majority was $3.50 and the
Glasscock majority 3,107. Fayette
gave Taft 2,O55, and Glasscock L.
512. Here is a difference Of $500
votes n the two counties. 1t VIII
hardly be questioned that every ne
gro in Mcdowell and Fayette voted
the straight Republican ticket. How
then are we to account for dffer-
ence in tho Republican vote for pres
ident and governor? Is +: not APP
parent that white Republicans voted
For Taft and Bennett? Before the
Democratic convention met, leading
VIII tie men OF the two counties
promised that 90 per cent of the
white votes would go to the Demo
cratic nominee if anti-negro planks
were inserted in the platform. and
hey fulfilled that promise.
The white people OF Mcdowell
county in par;icu ar are face to face
with the negro problem, which is
as troublesome there as anywhere
in the south. They demand anti-ne-
gro legislation. 1t was a RepubIi-
can from tina: section who intro
duced Jim Crow bill in he legis-
iature, and the sentiment of the
southern section OF the state is
overwhelmingly in favor of Jim
Crow law. VIII te Republicans in
other sections favor it also, and
hey would openly support such
measure if they did not fear a de-
lection of the negro VOTE Wheel

Our Names Lack Color.

At any early period, and indeed well toward the beginnings of modern his tory, proper names told something as to paternity, occupation and habita- ton; today they are quite colprless. A new Ulysses would no longer be Laer- tides; no Peter indicates that he is the son of Paul A Carpenter or a Weaver is likely to be lily-fingered stock broker. Even the place names, complains the Nation, have pretty much disappeared, except in the case of nobility, and since the average gentle family has not for years lived on its titular estate. or perhaps has had none at all, our new Gastons de Folk give us name about as sapless as John Jones.
