Time for Registering Under the
Grandfather Clause
Pitt sbOrO Record

plCtSDOPO RECORD.
Every iliterate white main in
North Carolina, who has not hereto
fore registered under the grandfather
clause Of our suffrage amendment,
must register this month Or be denied
the privilege of ever voting.
According to the terms OF that
amendment to our State cOnstitutiOn
the time for registering under the
grandfather clause will expire on the
first day of next December. After
that date every man, both white and
black, who has not heretofore regis
tered cannot register unless he can
read and write any section of the
constitution in the English language
This should be forcibly impressed on
every man who has not registered
and every effort should be made to
persuade such men to register this
month, for it will b,their last chance.
By the way, this allusion to our
suffrage amendment reminds us of
the confident predictions made in the
campaign of 1900 by every Republi-
can and Populist speaker and paper
that the amendment, if adopted,
would be declared unconstitutional
by the Supreme Court of the United
States. Every cross road Republican
politician was constitutional ex-
FOUNDER and with great confidence
declared the proposed amendment to
euncOnstitutional,a and that it would
disfranchise illiterate whites as we'll
DIS illiterate blacks. So positive
were they in this assertion that many
white men believed them and voted
against the amendment.

The Charge of Extravaganza.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer
There is no issue upon which the
Democratic speakers of North Caro-
lima have appealed to thepeople with
more success this year than that
raised by the Republicans in charg-
ing Democratic extravaganza in gov
eminent; increased expense in State
administration. Extravaganza is the
expenditure of money for unneces-
sary purposes; expenditure beyond
the ability of the individual or the
State. Considered so-and this is the
true meaning Of the term-there has
been no extravaganza in Democratic
government in North Carolina for
each dollar has been spent for use
full purpose. Expenses have increas-
ed? OF course they have. Population
has increased and public needs grow,
year by year. The question is
whether or not anypublic money has
been diverted, dishonesty applied,
wasted or expended on unworthy OBJ
iects. No The charitable institu-

party. With a developing civilization,
with an increasing demand for the
accessories of modern life, with an
increasing need for things which We
have always needed but could not af-
ford and can now afford-as for in
stance a reformatory, provided by the
last Legislature-public expenditures
will continue to grow larger and
larger; you need not have any doubt
about that but they ought to. il our
people are increasingly able to meet

Extravaganza is one thing; the wise
and honest expenditure of public
money for useful and necessary pur-
poses is another.
