Contrary to nil the appalling

reports of the desperate and law-

Carolina. Daily accounts from
Republican and Populist sources
related that the or-

with mountain howitzers or

violence.
There was little or no truth la

North Carolina, where there are

whites, the reports indicate that
many of them voted against the
franchise amendment,

be affected by it, In other parts
of the Slate many Republicans are
reported to have voted for the

count its by the large
majority of votes.

North Carolina by this amend-
device to deprive all colored

But it is probable that this
of partisan mendacity has met
with as little success in the North
as in the South. Whilst many col-
North Carolina voted

doubt that it will meet with the
