Saturday at tho request of tho corros-
pondent of q New Yuik newspaper Gov
MoSWoenoy expressed his vioWs OF the
ipoldCnt CD follows:
In South Carolina no man would
DO respected who allowed negro 10

II have atull appreciation of the
work OF Booker L. Washington, but it
docs tho negro raoo harm to got the
impression that they can secure such
social recognition az Washington did
al tho hands OF tho prosidont.
From all that [ oan understand
Washington himself does not approve
OF such things and he is constantly
omphaaizlng the point that his raoo
ohouid not be ambitious for eooial
equality but that it should work and
use tho toothbrush and bathtub.'
