WELCOME CONTRADICTION.
WASHINGTON, Sept. An regard to state
ment of DR.. Ramsey, just returned from Mem
phis, that white women have to take negro
men for nurses or go without, and that such
nurses have taken advantage OF their helpless
white victims. Mr.. Heating, editor of the
Memphis appeal, pronounces the statement
utterly untrue, and adds mo man, white or
black, would be allowed to breathe second
breath after such crime became known. No
such crime has bee: committed, and white wo-
men have not been reduced to the necessity of
taking negro men for nurses. The statement
is a libel on the e :roes of Memphis, who have
acted nobly as poncemen and soldiers"
