striking illustration OF the same principle is
found In the newly-published letters of Lafcadio
Hearne. After living In Japan for many years
and marrying Japanese wife, he finally acknowl-
edged that In spite of all his efforts he was abso
lutely unable to fellowship with the japanese
although he excepted the Japanese women from
his condemnation
The fact that the North is sometimes guilty Of
mob violence itself. and the fact that even SO

A warm political fight is expected to begin IN
Georgia soon. Four years ago, 1t will be remem-
bered, Hoke Smith was elected Governor of the
State. He removed Joseph M. Brown from the
Railroad Commission, bringing charges against
him, and for vindicaton Brown ran against
Smith for Governor, defeating him. Now Smith
also wants vindication. and it is said that the
two will oppose each other for the next Guber-
material term. The contest naturally promises to
be one of the most exciting of Georgia's many ex-
citing campaigns. ffs

publican?

UuUllCdl
Mr.. Ay cock asserted that it is
perfectly apparent that the Re-
publicans are putting much
money into the campaign and he
challenged them to prove that
these funds are not coming from
the bondholders.
After giving such convincing
reason for his belief in regard to
the source of Republican cam
paign funds Ia this State, the ex-
Governor takes up another point
made by MIR. Meares:
But there is one other point
made by Mr.. Meares in his open
letter. He insists that these
bonds cannot be paid unless their
payment is authorized by a vote
Of the peop'e. May I remind
him that this provision was put
into the constitution by Demo-
Gratis; that the people of North
Carolina owe this safeguarding
Of their interests to the party
which he is now fighting? He is
compelled, in his own defense, to
appeal to Democratic legislation.
And may | remind him also that
the submission of this question
to the people with the Democrats
in charge Of the election machin-
cry is very different matter
from submitting it to the people
with the Republicans in charge
Of the election machinery? for
he knows and I know and every
body knows, that with the Demo
Gratis in charge Of the machinery,
the illiterate and incompetent
, and unfit negro vote of the State
! will not be cast, whereas, with
the Republicans in charge of the
machinery, our registration books
will be filled with the names Of
! thousands of negroes not entitled
to vote. 1t may be instructive to
Mr.. Meares to know that the ne
groes in the Senate Of 1879 voted
against submitting to the people
the amendment preventing these
special tax bonds from being
paid without the assent of the
people, and this would be their
attitude now if permitted to
vote.
IF Mr.. Meares and Mr.. More
head want to put me in a corner,
let them show the book. How
much money have you got and
where did you get it?'
