Washington. June 3.-President

Mrs Roosevelt was with the Presi-
dent and the rumors of the affair
which gained circulation last night
were denied at the White House at the
time, as neither the President nor Mrs.
Roosevelt spoke of the affair upon their
return. The rumor came from the oc-

the accident.
The President was riding a new

down in loops so as to avoid pulling
the horse backward. Again on reaching
the top Of the bank the horse reared a
second time and the President leaned
forward again but the animal stood
Up straight on it's hind legs and then
went over backward into the creek

President, who realizing that he would
be in danger from the animals feet

from the President and got up.
He was captured at once, the Pres

White House. The fall from the horses
back to the stream bed was a dis

BARRIERS Union, addressed the conven-
ton in regard to the forming of a
BARRIERS Union in this city. The matter
brought forth a great deal of discussion
among the delegates and the topic was

Labor Union of Waterville stated that
an attempt had been made to organize

Erroneous Idea About the Suffrage
Amendment.
Pittsboro Record.

There is a very general erroneous idea
as to the time when a voter cannot take
advantage OF the grandfather clause OF
our suffrage amendment. Nearly every
body thinks that white youth who
wishes to register and vote at the next
election, must be able Ito read and write
any section of the Constitution in the
English language" and that the grand
father" clause will not enable him to reg
lister, as heretofore. This is a mistake.
The suffrage amendment provides that
anybody can vote, although he may not
be able to read or write, if he registers
under the grandfather clause prior to
December 1st, 1908. SO that anybody
who heretofore could register under the
'grandfather" clause can still do so
until the first day OF next December,
which of course is after the November
election The common idea is that the
provision as to the "grandfather" clause
expires in 1908, and SO it does, but not
until December 1st.
Therefore everybody can register for
the elections this year, before next De-
cember, just exactly as could be done
ever since the adoption OF our suffrage
amendment. And nobody can register
for the elections this year who could not
heretofore register 1t is well enough
for our people to understand this and act
accordingly.
And by the way, although the suffrage
amendment was adopted nearly eight
years ago, yet nobody in this State has
ever attempted to attack its constitu-
tionality. And yet all our readers will
remember the frequent assertions by
Republican speakers and papers, in the
campaign of 1900, that the amendment
was clearly unconstitutional and that it
would soon be so declared by the Su
preme court. Every Republican stump
speaker was profound constitutions
expounder and confidently pronounced
the amendment unconstitutional, and
really made some timid persons believe

Williams and the Seaboard.
Raleigh Times.

Once more the railroad circles in
Atlanta and Richmond have heard
| that Mr.. John Shelton Williams, the
father of the Seaboard Air Line, is to
come into his own again, the present
understanding being that the first of
March, or possibly the first of the
new year, will see the. former Sea-
board president returned to his old
job at the head OF the road which he
raised fram pale and puny little af-
| fair OF one division to a position of
| commanding commercialimportance
in Virginia and the Caroliuas and
Georgia. 1t rs stated on authority
supposed to me more or less compe-
tent, that the Ryan element, which
has dominated the SeabOard ever
since }. PierpOnt Morgan and his
Wall street cOterie squeezed Williams
out OF his control and his office three
years ago, has about made up IT'S
mind that the best future for this i'm
pOrtant property is to be gained by
putting it once more in the hands of
the man who, OF all Southern rail
road builders and operators, is in
most practical touch and sympathy
with the railroad requirements of
these four States.
The Seaboard receivership, it is
known, has not worked out the Sea-
boards problems to the entire salts
faction of all the stockholders and
other parties at interest, and it is
intimated that Mr. Thomas Fortune
Ryan is not fully suited with his rail
road investment. He has made NOR
money out OF New Y Ork trolley roads
and New York banks. The progress
and prOfit-making of the road require
man more fully acquainted with
railroad needs and possibilities in
this Southern field than is any man
now in control through this Morgan
Ryan dynasty, and that man, un-
questionably, is John Shelton Will
liams. 1t begins to look as though
the personal breach between Mr.
Williams and the Morgan faction,
with whom he had more or less fric-
ton when he was in control OF Sea-
board affairs before, could be
smoothed out. Bygones will have to
be bygones for the sake Of the road
and the money it can make, if judi
ciousiy handled, for its owners. There
is not d more brainy or progressive
railroad executive in the South than
John Shelton Williams and if the
plans of his friends materialize and
/ the outset Of another year sees this
clever Richmond railroader restored
| TO on ~
of the men who once forced him from
it, there will be speedy gain in con-
fidence on the part of business men
and shippers in at least four States,
and North Carolina will share in the
general feeling that the Seaboard is
once more in the hands OF the man
best qualified to make it serve, in
prompt and efficient manner, the
needs of the territory through which
it operates.

Here's a Man.
Chattanooga Times.

Chattanooga Times.
We have on various occasions
cheerfully attested the popular admi-
ration for Ex-Governor AycOck, OF
North Carolina because of his great
ability, his fidelity to his convictions
of right, and IA certain quality rem
dering him somewhat eccentric
among public men at the front dur
ing the past few years, namely a sane
and orderly conservatism in thought
and action This estimate OF him
must be accentuated since the recent
State convention at Charlotte, at
which the candidate for Governor
whose cause he advocated was de-
feated Instead OF pouting, showing
resentment or seeking to nullify the
verdict of the majority OF his fellow
Democrats, lie declared that "while
the resentments and bitterness ere
ated during the struggle may rankle
in our hearts for some time, we viii
take and transfer them to powerful
argument and force against the COM
mon enemy, the Republican party,
and its policies" That was said like
a man and after he had moved to
make the nomination of the man
he opposed unanimous. Mr.. Aycock
will be heard from again in the eoun-
ellis of his party because he is con,
structive and builder-up. He is not
for tearing down, demoralizing or
destroying. He fights today but is
for peace when the people speak,
under his own flag, if possible, but
for peace.
