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 spinners out if they catch on to our “big crop” talk! The international yacht race be¬ tween America and England is drawing near—will be held next mouth. America 'has held the championship for over fifty years, 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 bought his marriage . loettb* from a r - --o • : t fc.vi y> , tJ v, - coon Xy oommi^ioi^n ? .v-gt'A - V/w r. ar.q c.’v off. c.a A v • the m&ymir m : .V a! ,\ m&Muyx letit crin. . r.vt '■? < ' ' j OWWi ufitff every iMtam . tim gtate was »r» rlajLgfcr, T wi w»* mtU- protect H>n. revolution ?

As a result the fusion major it/ of 40.000 votes W a* swept away and a “white Biipremacy” majority of 20.000 votes heaped upon its ruins.” The effort now is to maintain t} u -.t supremacy, and mav it he successful is the earnest hope of the white people of the south, --------- 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.

What Will the great metropolitan papers do next? This is the question some one asks nearly every day. But there is one which leads all others. It has gained the sobriquet of “America s Greatest Newspaper” by just such re¬ markable pieces of enterprise as the one which has just now attracted the attention of the press all over the country. Last week the New York Sunday World announced that it would give away an album of new and original music, consisting of ten of the up-to date class of songs that are now so popular, such as songs x*f sentiment, “coon” songs, “cakewalks,” etc. These ten songs the Sunday World to distribute one one each week, with every copy of the Sunday Word; when it >«• is considered « - that the average price ’ , ailll by Popular authors, . f Worn o0 ... to 4o is cents< the llIipara lle]ed offer in giving the song away with a bigSunday news paper, for which only 5 cents is charge ed, is apparent.
