It is a matter of no surprise that so conservative, honest and faithful a State as North Carolina was before the great war, in the great war, and Immediately following peace, should be oposed to the wicked, vengeful Howard amendment to which the Mes senger lately called atention based upon Col. J. T. Morehead's most con clusive and admirable answer to Jeter Pritchards petty spite and intense ig norance. Among other things in that amendment it was provided that the States rejecting the infamy should be punished by having representation in the Federal Hous reduced. Col. More head says: "The next section provided for the exclusion from the polls and from the right to hold office tens of thousands of the best men in the southern states. The people of this state (as above stated we had no defined political par ties then) having had submitted to them, as a state in the Union, as was and is provided and required by the United States Constitution, to express their opinion, refused .to ratify on the 4th of December, 1S66." All the northern states were not sat isfied with the infamous amendment. Even New York waxed 'sorrowful and recanted from its faith as at first expressed. It required three-fourths ,of the states to ratify. Of thos first voting for "it, Delaware, New Jersey, Ohio and Kentucky did not stand by it finally. Some failed to ratify others withdrew finally their consent. "We quote again Col. Morehead's words: "After negro suffrage was forced upon it by bayonets not by civil law many white people being excuded from voting, North Cxroina voted to ratify in 1S6S. "Senator Pr it chard is correct and I think he is in this particuar the 15th amendment was added to the Consti tution out vt spite to humiliate the southern states, and stamped the orig inators and instigators of it with ever lasting infamy. 'But we must remem ber that the soldier element of the United States had not then its repre sentative in Congress." The fifteenth amendment was adopt ed in March 1S70. It supplemented the 11th and Tew York even withdrew its consent it had given. The radical lead ers in North Carolina have done all that they could do to distort, twist, turn wrong side out the proposed amendment to the North Carolina con stitution. They have left no stone un turned, and have .tried with exceeding industry and some thing of positive ingenuity. If the ignorant, credulous part of the voters can be deceived and influenced for evil by such methods there will be no little unfortunate voting in August. (But is It possible that some illiterate whites are to be hood winked and misled by designing, tricksters and ignorant knaves? Col. Morehead contributes these para graphs to the discussion which we gladly copy bere: "It will be observed that the pro posed amendment to our State cyn.tl tution does not conflict with the fif teenth amendment as-it does not pro vide forthe device or abridgement of Se right to vote "t "f or color and though Its adt?Jt"d,p. pose is to eliminate the unlet tered ne Soes and at the same Ume to retain the unlettered .wnues. wti, ted States Supreme Court -has recently (decided, 'nothing tangible can be de duced tfrom this It ds done within the field of permissible actions under lim itations empowered by the federal constitution. "Tne bugbear of disfanchislng white men has been disposed of by the change in the amendment, by the Leg islature last month, and the Mmple question is, shall we, as far as we practically can, right the great wrong perpetuated in 1867-68" , Negro suffrage giving the vote to intense Ignorance and unlettered in capacitywas placed upon North Car olina vindictively, to punish the noble. brave men for their splendid valor in behalf of southern independence. It is the duty of every patriot, of every true man, of every descendant of the 110,00-) men North Carolina sent to the war, to work and vote to undo the treachery, the villainy, the outrage placed upon our dear state and south land by the twin-brothers In venality and oppression, the 14th and 15th amendments to the Federal Constitu tion. Get rid of voting by negro illit erates and incapables. Debar tenor- ant blacks from governing and bous ing and oppressing North Carolina now and forever. It Is a great ques tion of patriotism and good "govern ment and prosperity that appeals to the best sense of both whites and blacks. Col. Morehead says most per tinently and it is of interest and im prtance: "The adoption of the amendment will certainly purify the republican party in fact, it will purify politics. There is so much said about the election law, though not germane to the subject of the amendment, I wish to add that critiplsm of election laws is chronic. The democrats had an election law much abused by their political adversaries.yet under the law the fusionists defeats the democrats. and enacts an election law to suit themselves, under which all kinds of frauds were per-iissible, nevertheless under this last named law, the demo crats defeated the fusiorast and in turn enacted the present election law, which more than any we have hereto fore had guards against fraudulent voting, and the field is open for the fusionists to try again under it." The article from which we have copied appeared In the Or-' - - Telegram. The political sky in North Carolina is clearing up. So think the men on the watch towers. There is good promise of victory on two weeks from next Thursday. From the cry from east to west and from the ocean to the northern border Watchmen, what of the night," cornea the ringins- cry "The true white men stand united and determined; the bea con fires are burning every where; brave men who love order and law and the supremacy of intelligence and vir tue are at the front; the patriotism of North Carolina is fully aroused; the determination to redeem the grand old mother from the rule of barb!s;rt and stupidity fills every soul; the fair mai dens and the faithful, true mothers from the centre ito the circumference of the state are watching and waiting, and many are praying, tnat th best civilization may be saved, and 'North Carolina in every interest shall be protected and blest by the Great Giver of every good and perfect gift. There i one purpose, one desire, one hope, one manful determination awaiting every true white man in this epochal hour It is to bring order, obedience, an honest reverence for law back and to deliver North Carolina from the cruel ieign of lawless mobs, greedy trick- .in . j ...:.v. sters and superstition aij.ru .ii-i ense ignorance. "You must not think. That we are made of stuff so Hat and dull. That we can let our beard be shook with danger, And think it past time." It is the prevailing, consuming de sire in this supreme hour or trial to redeem ithe state. It is natural.proper, necessitous to resist all oppression however panopUed and backed. It is a principle implanted in the very na ture of enlightened manhood to strike down the mailed hand of wrong and oppression: 'While that the armed hand doth fight abroad, . The advised head derenas usem. home; . . For Government, tnpugn mgn, low. and lower, Put into parts, doth keep in one con sent; . , Congruing in a full and natural twsc Like music." HOME FOLKS. Personally, Jim Boyd, the new re publican judge from Western rorin Carolina, is a clever sort of fellow. But we cannot forget his caperlngs about 1SGS-9, in the Ku-Klux time. Jim deserted his companions then. That is if he is the one we then heard of with that name, who operated about Graham or that section. We used to hear in the long ago that somebody of tHt n.imo turned state's evidence against his Ku-Klux friends. We hope it was not the newly made judge. Dr. E. A. Alderman has been in Charleston and the able News and Courier pays his a very handsome and a richly -deserved compliment in tne following words: "Dr. Alderman, who Is attending the convention. Is a son that North Caro lina is Justly proud of. His record as Dresldent of her state university has not only brought great prosperity to the university, but a national reputa tion to himself.

ALL DEALERS KEEP THEM. A WESTERN FRIEND OF AMENDMENT. THE "We agreed with the opinion expressed a half year or more since by Mr. Cald well, of the Charlotte Observer, of the excellent qualities of the gentleman who edits the Morganton Herald, CoL W. S. Pearson, as a writer. It is therefore, particularly gratifying to I have from him a kind word of recog nition at this time. In the last issue of his paper he thus refers to the work of the Messenger in this pregnant cam paign, and to the Importance of the great issue at stake now: "The Wilmington Messenger has rather more largely than any of our daily papers made a specialty of the amendment discussion, and the Herald has quoted and copied very freely and frequently from its columns in this line. it u rmWished in a section whre I the iron has entered the very souls of i21 wealth ceases to control the af all true white men, and we have faIrf of the nation and It oecomes deemed its argument and appeals more j aSi a nation of the people. . . forcible than anything we could our- j We wi ,.Xe ,been.5fePtI? of the selves say-trangers, as we are, to democratic faith love Adlai Stevenson, the pitiable- conditions hitherto par .

The Messenger has been long im- - pressed with the importance of a limi- J tation of negro voting, and ha3 often j stated that the people who forced upon j us the withering curse of negro illlt-J eracy in the electorship, intensified by the facile way it could be used and manipulated by wicked, bad men, j should be manly and sober and just and wise enough to remove it. But no remedy comes from the blatant dema- gogy of the McKlnley gang and the firm and furious south haters among the men and women of lachrymose turn and nasal-twang oratory. So it is proposed to curtail in part a vast evil, and to move out for a reading, intelli gent electorate. The west in our com mon North Carolina must stand bravely and unselfishly by their peo ple in Eastern North Carolina. As the brave old Georgian Com. . Tat nall said In China when he went to the help of the hard-pressed English- "Blood is thicker than water." Man hood is greater than demagogy or an unsanctified lust for office. The dem ocrats of the negro ridden counties are in earnest now and are striving with a mighty zeal and potency for victory first that there may be rest afterwards They carry no blood-black flag of the corsair and the desperado. They bear aloft the great reflamme of Peace and Order, and out of the heat of contest and the zeal of patriots they are look ing to better government for all and the reign of law over all North Caro lina. God speed the blessed day, and reward the zealous labors of the pa triots and state-builders with a vic tory made glorious by its greatness and the order of its march; COTTON MILLING IN THE SOUTH FOR SIN MOXTIb We are not always sure that the fig ures concerning progress in the south are trustworthy. That there is 'en couraging improvement is well known, but we have pointed out that the sta tistical gatherers sometimes differ widely. The report is that in the first six months of 1900, the new spindles added in the Southland aggregated 876.3S3. The capital invested rounded up with $25,000,000, more or less. In ten months the south worked up 1,363,144 bales of its own cotton an increase over the preceding year of 25,539. The Baltimore Manufacturers' Record fur- nishes these figures. It thus distributes eighty more to elect McKinley if he the increase of spindles for six months: can only get the eight.

Senator Hoar is hurrahing for Mc Kinley. We rejoice that we never trusted this south hater when he was most rhetorically mellifluous, Henri Watterson is now back and is fighting for Bryan and Stevenson. Here is one of his recent paragraphs: "The fear of degraded currency need no longer frighten anybody. The lion now arrnsLs nut nath is tho mnrnfor plutocracy; shall we clip his claws and lop his horns and break him to work In harness, or shall we allow him to grow in ferocity and power until he is strong enough to throw off every re straint and every disguise and to swal low up all that is beneficent and noble in the native life?" Heigho! For weeks the British have been saying the Boers are licked and the war is about ended. But here comes the news of two lickings for the Brit ish by the same' thrashed-out Boers. Much loss to the former. The Nebraska democrats appear to the tail to the populist kite. In seven state offices they got but one. So much for fusion. ' Democratic managers in Indiana say they will evolve a model campaign plan. Dave Hill will be among the can vassers. So far as we have observed most of the northern independent and demo cratic newspapers that supported Mc Klnley in 1S96 will support him again. We have seen this manifested in per haps a dozen instances already. There is a report that Switzerland wishes to unite with the United States. That would mean more complications. Beware of "entangling alliances" was Washington's warning. Bryan was 40 years oil on the 19th of March, 1900. Stevenson was 63 on the 22nd of October, 1899. Both served in congress for two tems. The republicans are rapidly electing McKinley. They are great figurers. They can always elect their men. There are some democrats who are equally skilled and can tell who will win even before the battle begins. The great battle ground Is given out as consisting of eight states. Of these two o . are classed as southern. Here are the states and their respective electoral votes: New York Illinois 24 Indiana u Kentucky ; .....!.!....". 13 Ohio 23 Michigan 14 Minnesota ....9 Maryland 8 These eight states give 142 electoral votes. It reauires but. a little over aiana, Kentucky and Maryland will all! go for McKinlev? Three of those named ought to be good fighting ground. We would guess now that New York and Illinois would vote re-! publican. Turning from our own telegraphic dispatches to changes in search of com- nals.

With my guying friends in mind I struck a bargain with the urchin, paying him three prices, and went on my way re joicing.

Georgetown, Ky., July 14. Attend ance at the trial of ex-Secretary of State Powers, charged with being an accomplice to the murder of Governor William Goebel, was smaller today than hitherto. The garments worn by Governor Goebel when he was shot were brought into court to be exhibited and filed. County Surveyor Woodson.of Frank lin county, who made the measurements- by wfaioh the prosecution en deavored to show that the shot was fired from the office of the secre tary of state, produced a block of wood taken from a tree in the state house yard which was supiosed to contain the fatal bullet. Woodson was cross examined in an attempt to show that his measurements were inaccurate. Mr. Woodson, after leaving the etand removed the bullet from the block. The bit of lead was passed about the bar. Judge, jurors and law yers all examined it with interest. Warden Lillard, of the Frankfort prison, a close friend of Goebel. was next called. On the morning of the shooting, as he approached the tate house with Goebel and Jack Chinn. he aid he noticed that the capitol grounds were clear, as on previous oc casions, "mountain men" were numer ous. He had reached the door to the main a'- . .ending when he heard shots -.. looking back, saw Goebel fall. He declared that one of the front windows In the office of the scretary of state was partly raised at the time. Mr. Lillard was recalled this after noon and the commonwealth sought to ask questions which had been forgot ten during the examination. The ob jections of the defense were sustained. Dr. T. B.
