Marriage is not a failure. When
a man marries his wife assumes
his name; when he fails, betakes
hers.
If one-half the bad that is said
of the democrat candidate for gov¬
ernor is true, Kentucky would he
far,better off without a governor.
It is pleasant to compare Bul¬
loch’s tax rate with those of sister
comities. Washington's rate, for
instance, is $12.50 per $1,000,
while ours is only $ 10 .
In Savannah Judge Falligant
granted leave to a widow, a Cash
lady, to borrow $4,750 in cash to
be used in improving the property
of her wards, several Cash girls.
Sorter funny people we are.
Brag about our cotton crop—how
much more we’ll make this year
than last—and then “cuss” the

our “big crop” talk!
The international yacht race be¬
tween America and England is
drawing near—will be held next

and will continue to do so.
The two Delegals, alleged mur¬
derer and rapist, who have been
the cause of so much excitement
at Darien, will be tried in Effing
ham county superior court next
week, a change of venue having
been granted by Judge Seabrook.
In speaking of Henry Delegal,
the murderer from Darien, an ex
change refers to him as a “repub¬
lican leader,” whereupon a negro
from that county takes it up and
repudiates the statement. He
says the negro is a bad man, a
democrat of whom the negroes
had washed their hands. It was
a mistake to mention politics in
the case at all.
The estaolishment of negro
towns in the south should be en¬
couraged as a partial solution of
the race problem. Hudson City,
Ala., is a colored town of 400 in¬
habitants which has recently been
incorporated, and in which there
is said to be a notable lack of race
friction—since there is none except
the colored race in the town. If
the negroes are not to be colonized
in a distant country, which must
be admitted to be utterly imprac¬
ticable, their settlement to them¬
selves in towns of their own is the
next best solution of the “race
problem.”
Down iu Wa) T cros 8 the news
paper men are having it hot this
summer. Two weeks ago a couple
of them got together in a fisticuff';
and now they are all three quar¬
reling about the result of a recent
coupon contest. A merchant in
the town advertised in each of the
papers to give a rebate of ten per
cent, to all customers who pro
sen ted coupons clipped from the
papers. Two of the papers were
not clipped from at. all, while the
merchant received a dozen coupons
from tbe other. When investi -
gated, it developed that employes
of the paper had presented
one of the coupons, and were
mg it as an advertisement of their
paper, That is what brought on
the quarrel.
Negroes to bo Disfranchised.
The democrats of North Caro
lina have taken hold of the que$
tion ot negro suffrage in a bnsi
ness-like way. and seem deterrnin
ed to do away with the unseemly
squabbles for which the state has
been noted for the past few years,
At the last session of the state
legislature, which was controlled
by democrats, a resolution was
passed providing for a
tioual amendment to be ratified or
rejected by the people on the 8th
day of August of next year. This
amendment was designed for the
single purpose of eliminating the
negro as a political factor, and it
is a notable fact that the educa
tional qualification enjoined *, upon
the , 1 negro • is not , exacted , of c the *1
white man. It is not intended
that an Anglo-Saxon shall lie dis¬
qualified, whatever may be the
limit of his understanding or the
extent of his holdings.
The proposed amendment pro¬
vides that every person of eligible
age, who applies for registration,
must be able to read and under¬
stand any section or sections of
the Federal constitution. Under
this clause one hundred thousand
illiterate negro voters in the state
will be disfranchised.
But tbe ignorant white voters,
and there are thousands of them,
will be let in by section five, which
provides that any lineal descend¬
ant of any voter in this country
prior to 1867 shall be entited to
vote whether he can read and write
or not.
Every Anglo-Saxon in North
Carolina, therefore, who has reach*
ed his majority, will be able under
the amendment to exercise his full
right of franchise.
From now until the date of the
election next August the fight will
p e waged unceasingly £er the rati
fication of this amendment, and it
j 8 sa jj that there is little doubt
that the white people will win.
The fight is more than a political
one—it is a fight in defence of
home and white supremacy. On
it democrats stand united, and are
oven promised some support from
the white republicans.
“In 1895 and 1897 the republi*
can party, which had not been in
power in the state in twenty-five
years, succeeded in getting some
white people tt believe that repub¬
lican success did not necessarily
mean negro government Marion
Butler, to further his political
arn-bination, succeeded in getting
the populists to believe that fusion
with Pritchard’s crowd did not
mean political co-partnership with
the negro. The deal was arranged
and the fueionists swept the state.
Butler and Pritchard were elected
to the United States senate. The
negroes, who furnished the bal¬
ance of power, were given
and county officers. The history
ot North Carolina since 1895 re¬
cords the result. In 1897 there
were 1,200 negro office holders in
he state.
“White men were tried and con¬
victed and sentenced by negro
magistrates: the

Academy For The Blind.
Arcola, Ga., Sep. 4, 1899.
Editor Bulloch Herald:
I enclose herewith a circular
sent me by the manager of the
Georgia Academy for tiie blind.
Please give the information to
the public, as perhaps there are
many in the county who do not
1 know . that that »e have hnva n a onhonl school i in m
Georgia that will give an
tion to rtn our _ blind i chlidien AMj-.., without M ithout
any charge for board or tuition,
According to the last census
theie are 3 blind colored children
in in this mis count count). v 1 ± will w.ii ‘take 1 ak pleas- 1 55
ure in assisting any one who has
a blind child of school age in send
illg them to this institution. ]
M a great interest in any one
thus sadly afflicted, as my father
was blind ; and well dp I remem
her leading him about by his fin
ger when I was but a small boy.
This morning I can see him in my
fancy as he groped his way blindly
about the house.
Yours to serve,
P. It. McElveen,
Georgia Academy for the Blind
Macon, Georgia.
Dear Sir: Thinking that your
position is such as must give you
p.n extensive acquaintance with
^J ie P eo P’ e } ° ur section, I take
the liberty of requesting that, if
)’ ou knmv of an > T blind young per¬
sons of school age in your county
(or elsewhere in Georgia), you will
kindly send me the names and
addresses of their parents, guar¬
dians or friends.
A recent census, taken under the
supervision of the State Depart¬
ment of Education, gives as the
number of blind persons of school
age in Georgia, 265, of whom 3 are
in your county—all colored. In
this school at present there are 67
blind young people, a number
evidently much smaller than it
should be and one that I earnestly’
desire to increase,
Hoping for an early response
and thanking you in advance for a
ready compliance with a request
that, I am sure, cannot fail to
appeal to your benevolent consid¬
eration, I reman,
Very truly.
Dudley Williams,
Superintendent.
The Academy receives into its
School Department such youths,
