DISFRANCHISEMENT BRINGS PROTEST By request of Senator Felder the dis franchisement bill, ths special order for Tuesday, went over and was made the special order for Thursday Immedi ately after the reading of the Journal A very strong petition prepared by prominent colored men and signed by H. H. Proctor, chairman, was presented to the senate. It protests against the passage of the disfranchisement bill, and sets forth n number of cogent reasons from the vlewpMnt of ths ob jectors. In the prefaco It Is stated: "We object to this bill because It Is a cunningly devised scheme to dis franchise the negro, not because he Is Ignorant, corrupt or poor, but simply because he le a negro. Indeed, shame less boasts were heard from evary po Ittlcal stump In Georgia that the scheme would not disfranchise a sin gle white man, but almost evrty black man. That la nothing but claas legis lation.” Then the following reaaona are given for not passing the bill: "1. It le unnecessary and would be provocative of political agitation and racial strife. It to claimed that dis franchisement la already practically of effect through the white primary. '2. It la unjust nnd would tend to disturb labor conditions and retard tho cooperative movements for law and order. It appears to be fair, yet at heart It Is most foul. It means what It does not aay, and says what It does not mean. At heart It le a stab at our race. "I. It Is undemocratic and would tend to subvert the principles of popular government. It exalts the soldier above the civilian, and clothes the registrar with dangerous powers. “4. It Is undemocratic and would In spire national litigation. "6. Chiefly, thta measure comes short of the true Ideal of civic virtu*, and would have a morally degrading effect on the young men of the state.” It Is Anally declared that the petl tinners favor purifying the ballot bi x, but only by laws that take away the franchise from the venal white man and negro alike.

Thle le not true, and we want It known. There are not a dozen men In our town who oppose the bill referred to. and I think It safe to eay that from 76 to 90 per cent of the white voters in the county are In favor of the puss- ego of the bill at this time. The voting out of liquor In 1894, In our town and county, haa been one of tho greatest factor* In making us the commercial and manufacturing center of this part of the country, and our population haa more than trebled slnco then within the corporate limits of tho city of Monroe. The county le now ono of the moot prosperous and law-abid ing In the etate, the prohibition law being enforced, perhaps, better than any criminal law In our code, much better than the law against gambling and carrying pistols. But in the face ot all this, the cry of our men, women and children la against tho shipment of the "damnable stuff” into our city and county, and they know that state prohibition will.
