THE NEXT PLATFORM COMMITTEE.

1t will be real interesting to
see our next platform commit
tee at work, and to see if they
can make a platform sufficiently
strong and high enough to hold
all our Congressman and Sena-
tors. We believe in setting
forth our principles and then
holding to them all the time. If
this plan had been followed in
the extra session of Congress
the democratic party would
have been enabled to make a
strong fight for a reduction of
the tariff in the next Presiden-
tial campaign with strong
chances of winning over the
republicans; but. as it is they
are all divided Oh the question
each member Of Congress
voted for what he thought his
particular section wanted and
now it is hard to tell what is
going to be done and how a
member of Congress will vote
on any question like the tariff.

HIS MISTAKE.

Representative Oh aries II.
Cowles, of the Eighth North
Carolina Congressional district,
had very little to do last week
when he introduced a bill in
Congress to put our elections
under the control of Federal Of
frers and destroy our State ell
ection laws. We are surprised
that Mr.. Cowles should try to
put us back under such laws as
were enforced around the bal
lot box Immediately after the
civil war. This republican Con-
gresham has been severely
criticised, not only by the dem
ocratic press, but members Of
his own party say that he has
given them a set back in this
State that it will take them
many years to get over. The
people of North Carolina want
no more force bill or anything
that looks like it and will re-
sent this act of Mr.. Cowles in
trying to revive the negro ques-
ton and to weaken our Con-
stitutional Amendment.

Lighting Strikes Negro.

Whitakers, July lit is thought
by good many that there are but
a few things that can stand thunder
and lightning, the most notable be-
ing Black Jack and Smith Gum, but
there is a negro here who it seems
should come in the same class. To
illustrate: Yesterday on the farm of
Mr.. VIZ. Braswell, near here, lightn-
ing struck Sam Smith Historic nance
colored, without killing him and
he does not seem to be greatly the
worst for the stroke. 1t is ture, that
he was knocked down; that the cleo
trio current encircled his body, ran
down a leg and ripped up boot leg,
yet the indications are that he will
soon be all right.

Naturalization Changes.

Mr.. David Stern, one of the bright
est and most industrious of the
younger members Of the bar in the
State, having an extensive practice
on questions pertaining to naturali-
zation of foreign citizens, gives out
some interesting incidents connected
Herewith, along with some valuable
information concerning the radical
changes made by Congress in the
past few years in regard to obtaining
naturalization papers. All old law
yers remember that the process ten
years ago even was very simple and
entirely unprotected from looseness
to say at least, when it became ne
cessary to have a white mans vote
to overcome a negro's, for instance
Recently Mr.. Stern had a Turkish
client who desired to visit his old
country. He had become an Ameri-
can citizen, but desired to get his
passport back to the Ottoman empire
revised by the Turkish counsel, so
that he could make his visit and re-
turn as an American citizen. Mr..
Stern in seeking to have the proper
paper, discovered that not only Tur-
key but Russia has laws making it a
crime for their citizens to become
citizens Of other countries, their shi-
boleth being, "Once an Ottoman al
always an Ottoman" When these
laws were brought to the attention
Of the department of State at Wash
ington the reply was that while the
United States did every thing posi-
BILE to protect naturalized American
citizens and strongly dissented from
these laws, yet it advised very strong
ly against the return even for {
months visit of a former citizen Of
one Of these countries who is now {
naturalized American. The practica
point is, that the United States all
thorities know very we'll that in deal
ing with Turkey and Russia one car
put no dependence on what they will
do to former subjects, when once il
their territory.
An important change made in Thu
recent naturalization laws Of tn
United States, is to the effect that i
any alien who has become naturaliz
ed shall go to a foreign country with
in five years, and take permanent
residence there and his certificate O
citizenship, in the absence of counter
vailing evidence may be cancelled
and American protection is with

CONGRESSMAN MTCHiN ON THE
COWLES BILL.

In writing to the News and
Observer from Washington, D.
c., Thomas J. Pence gives an
interview with Representative
Claude Kitchin on the bill re-
Gently introduced by Mr.. Cow
les, one of the Republican Con-
gressmen from North Carolina,
which means, should it be pass
ed by Congress, to put Federal
Soldiers with bayonets at our
ballot boxes. Mr.. Kitchin SAYS:
"It deserves notice only be-
cause of its folly. Certainly this
congress will take no notice of
it, nor will any future Congress
unless the people of North Car
DINA and the South so far for
get themselves as to send to
Washington as their Represen-
tative political partisans of the
Cowles stripe. These old Re
construction statutes that he
desires to re-enact were repeal
ed fifteen years ago. Since that
time, although for the last
twelve years both Congress and
the Executive have been Re-
publican, there has been no
serious attempt or desire to res
urrect them and thereby revive
the animosities they engender-
ed. Congress as well as every
patriotic citizen has been con
tent to leave the holding of cleo
tions and the protection of the
ballot with the States.
"The motive for it's introduce
ton is apparently two fold. In
the one, recognizing that he
cannot win in the next election
either on the merits of himself
or his party, he hopes to intim-
idate voters and election off.

threatening them with Fedora,

hide the miserable record of the
Republican party on living is

pledges behind the dead issues
he attempts to raise by his bill
ellis own election is conclus.

tainly the Democrats in North
Carolin, as well as the best eIe
ment of the Republicans can.

to violate our election laws

PRIDE AND COURAGE.

In commenting upon the
death of Col. Marcellus Pointer
the Baltimore Sun paid a high
tribute to the sons of the South
when it said:
"Never were Drawer soldiers
or prouder men than those who
composed the armies OF the
Confederacy. Their spirit was
unconquerable. Neither poverty
nor hunger nor defeat nor death
could bring disgrace to them.
They were defeated, bnt never
conquered. The same spirit sur.
wives today in the veterans of
the civil war who are still with
us. Sometimes this crops out
in some pathetic incident which
brings a tear to the eye.
GA few days ago Col. Marcel
lus Pointer died in a bare little
room in an obscure hotel in the
poorest section of New York.
Broken in health and fortune,
he had been unable to provide
enough even to supply his very
modest wants. Old and infirm,
he could find no means of sup
port. He was too Proud to ap-
peal to his wealthy friends for
aid, and to the last never dis
closed to them his necessities.
He was too proud to allow him.
self to become a burden to
others. His distinguished ser
vices in the war, his loyalty
and highmindedness awaited
himk nothing in the struggle for
bread. But the old soldier
fought on bravely to the last,
neither asking nor accepting
charity, with a smile on his
face and allowing no complaint
ing word to escape his lips.
81 guess he died partially of
a broken heart and pride, says
a doctor who knew him. He
was too proud to beg
"This spirit Of pride and
courage is one of the things
that distinguished the old South
which the new South can i'll
afford to lose. Neither business
nor commercial prosperity can
take the place of devotion to
high ideals, and while gaining
in wealth, population and pow
err, the South will do we'll tC
treasure not only it's honorable
history and traditions, but that
rich heritage of sensitive honor
and personal pride which rails
ed it's people above the level OF
mere traffickers in the market
place"

their politics, provided, of

very bad for stealing horse. He
was tryed before Justice M. H

did get the horse, so he was bound
over to the next term of court in de.
fault of proper bail. 1t is presumed
that this same negro is the one that
broke into D. c.. Bells store some
time ago and took away several pair:
of high priced shoes that Davie
couldn't sell, but it seems no evi

THE SOUTH NEEDS THEM.

There is a great deal being
written and spoken about the
South and her young men and
keeping them at home. Dur
ing an address recently deliver
ed at the University of North
Carolina President Finley, Of
the Southern Railway, speak
ing on this point said:
elm whatever career the
young man of the South may
select, he will find opportuni-
ties at home among his own
people. He will not find it
necessary to go either to the
North or to the West. AS time
goes on he will find these 'op-
portunities in increasing album
dance, for the economic strength
of the South, already great, is
constantly increasing. The
wealth Of our section in natur-
al resources is being supple
mented by increased financial
strength and Southern com.
munities are becoming better
able to finance their own enter
prises and less dependent on
outside capital. The South
needs every one of her young
men, and those who are faith
full to her she will bOuntifully
reward

A BAD PLAN.

We notice from number Of
our exchanges throughout the,
cotton belt of the State that
farmers are selling their cotton
for fall delivery. We believe
this to be a bad plan and is
liable to bring about dissatls-
faction and unpleasantness. Ii
it should advance above the
price agreed upon the farmer
would be the loser and should
it go down the buyer would
lose, and SO it looks to us as a
very unsatisfactory way to do
business. Let the farmer wait
until he gets his cotton ready
for the market and then sell IN
such a way as not to glut the
market and in this way prices
will keep up better.
