SOUTH AND NORTH.
A Brave SOUTHERNER ANSWERS
ABE HEWITT.

Judge Lee Lectures the North on Fraud
Brains-Thcy Are Not Clever Enough to
Take Advantage of Favorable Situations.
Not So EnscruIulous as the southrons.
Nov that Abe Hewitt has raised
this question about southern politicians
hay,ug less brains than the Yankees"
said Judge Lee Of Georgia, L want to
tell the ruth about this thing with no
Eli Perkins imagination. The fact is, we
southerners have always had brains
enough TO control this government.
Think Of tive cotton states actually
make tariff for New England We con-
troll congress. We are the nation today,
and these mudSill Yankees are sitting
down III the hall"
How do you get SO many congress-
mem asked Bourke Cochran.
''Why. Abe Hewitt's ignorant Yankees
gave them to us The Yankees voted
themselves out, and we voted ourselves
III. Why, do you know that little brainy
South Carolina, with 49,. 900 people, has
seven con gressmen, while Massachusetts,,
with 2,215,00 people, has only 1927
''And Mississippi"
'sShe's got $4,000 people and seven
congressman, while Pennsylvania, with
5,148, 600 people, has only %. In one dis
trict in Georgia $4,000 southern people,
or 1850 white voters, make congress-
man, while it always takes III 900 Y an
KEGS, or 3d. 900 voters, to make a con-
gresham. But you've got representa-
ton according to your brains-'smail
brains. small representation.
But do the negroes vote?" asked q
northern congressman.
s'Niggers vote! | should say not, and
they never will. Your Yankee idiots
made them citizens-made them voters
but do you think we brainy southern
ers will ever count their votes? I should
say not. They vote in Kentucky, Ten
nessee and the border states, but they
will never vote in South Carolina, Mis-
sissippi or Louisiana, where they are in
the majority. 1t wouldn't do"
''Ihen the 20 congressman represent
ing Louisiana, South Carolina and Mis-
sissippi are fraudulent"
mo, sab, it's southern brains. We
know how to manage"
ssHow many votes did Cleveland get
in South Carolina?"
'sWhy, he got $4,000, and So 900 in
Mississippi, and s., 900 in Louisiana, but
they made him president, and those ig-
norant northern Yankees let US do it.
Why, you Yankee fools put McKane in
Sing Sing for DISTINGUISHING a few citizens
in Brooklyn and make a great row be-
cause Bob Ross was shot at the polls in
Troy, while we brainy southern men
count out SOS, 600 niggers in Georgia,
obliterate Csc, GOO in South Carolina and
annihilate III, 600 black Yankees in Mis-
sissippi. We actually whip you Yankees
in and make you help as do it! Brains!
I reckon we have got brainst'
''What would you old rebs do if we
Yankees should elect a president fraudu-
1entlv in three northern states as you
did Cleveland in the south:"
what! You disfranchise a Demo
cratl You Yankees haven nerve enough
to Go it. You haven't brains enough
to stand by your own disfranchised Re-
publicans in the south. If you should
put in a president fraudulently, we'd
paint FRAUD on his brow, as Dana paint
ed it on Hayes, who was really the last
president honestly elected in the niger
states. But you Yankees are afraid to
do it. We old rebs would have some re-
spect for you if you had nerve enough to
write fraud on Cleveland like this:
