der, but an active and prominent
business man, who can read and
write and who handles large bust
ness enterprises, was disfranchiseI
writing. His crime was not in maxi
ing the error. but in being a Re-
publican.
"Of course the News has found
nothing" says the News and Observ-
err, when an aged white man. and al
honorable Confederate soldier. has
been DISTINGUISHED. The writer
heard Governor Aycock. in his most
powerful and impressive manner, tell
the people that no white man should
ever be disfranchised under the
amendment, no matter what his poll
tics; and that he would make affida-
Wit to that affect.
We have not hunted for the cases
cited. They came 10 us by the force
of the righteous Indignation of th;.
people in the communities where
they took place. We have not print
ed them TO arouse hostility toward
the amendment, but We have done
l. to arouse the Indignation of hon
est men against the dishonesty AMI
lying pretense of the Democratic ma
chine manipulatOrs. In saying that
We (the Republicansl want TO undo
the amendment the News and OBJ
server does not mean that We are
fools and don't know that II We had
ever wanted to attack the amend
nent that the opportunity had pass
ed; but says 1t because II 10 knavs
and must practice deception and mis-
representation In the absence OF a
worthy and respectable campaign ia
sue that deals with the public ana
business interests Of men.
"Of course the News has found
nothing" IL means nothing TO the
News and Observer to treat men un-
fairly, to besmirch their fair names
and TO assassinaie their characters.
1t means nothing TO that paper 10
accuse its own political associates OF
fraud, bribery and thievery. IL
means nothing to that paper TO In
cite men TO deeds OF lawlessness-
even TO the crime OF arson-in order
to manufacture public sentiment.
And. OF course. all that being so.
II means nothing TO that paper 10 en-.

feeble ex-Confederaie soldier ami

nothing TO the News and Observer to

Ne self respecting newspaper
should cepy matter from the News
and Observer, especially on Sunday
morning, without making humble
apologies to its readers for so intlict-
Ing them. We do that now. for We
must copy the following, as 1t shows
that papers lack of honesty and fair
less. The News and Observer of yes
terday said:
The Industrial Jews has found an
ether mares nest, at least, 1t Is cack-
ling loudly. The News is always
cackling, even If the eggs it produces
are rotten. After long labor and.
no doubt, much search, 1t says IL has
found a Confederate soldier who has
been DISTINGUISHED by the amend
nent. II is gleeful. 1t says the oil
soldier lives in Cabarrus County,
and Ia SIS years old and was refused
registration on October %. because
he could not read and write. OF
course, the News has found nothing.
The fact that after all these years and
the nest minute search by Republi-
cans, this is the first time even sucn
a CLAIM has been made, shows that
the amendment has worked no hard
ship.
The only way to end full negro
suffrage was to pass the amendment.
and the Democrats provided a period
OF ten years in which every white
man could register on a permanent
roster. Every white man Is so regis
tered who wished to be. The amend
ment cut out 10000 negroes. and the
Republicans are looking for pretex'
TO secure the repeal Of the amend
msnt.
But the fact that the News has
taken 30 much pains. spent so much
effort, and at this late day prints this
discovery with so much glee shows
just what everybody who has eye
teeth las all along said, namely:
That the Republicans are really
hostile towards the constitutional
amendment.

lions that community conscience has
been almost lost; the speeders defy
the law ON the one hand, and the

are liable at any time to take the
law into their own hands.
With such a situation existing, II
Is most fitting that the prosecuting
officers of the city government
should bring the Grand Jury into
the matter for the moral effect on
the thoughtless automobile fools who
defy the law, rs well as the per-
ffQrDnance OF public duty in dealing
with those who have sacrificed OF
jeopardized human life.
The City Attorney and the Grand
Jury may be certain that they will
have the enthusiastic support OF the
people of this city in the work they
have apparently undertaken in either
checking the speed OF the criminally
negligent and the careless auto driv.
