OBJECTION MADE. D
IN One CASE.
Some Henry County People Oppose
TheirNew Superintendent sug-
gestion of Politics.

The Senate in its executive session yes
terday afternoon confirmed the election
of all. the school superintendent APP
pointed by the board last summer, with
two exceptions. In one case, the senator
representing the district i'll which the
superintendent resides was absent, and
out of courtesy to him this one was
passed by.
Senator Garrett asked the body to delay
action in the case Of w. G. Shackelford,
appointed as superintendent in Henry
county. He did this because he had re-
ceived letters stating that some of his
constituents desired to be heard in the
matter, either in person or by petition.
The board failed to reappoint DIR. w. w.
Morris. an old Confederate, and selected
Mr.. Shackelford, q young man to. sue
coed him. -4 I,-yssfss b .
Both are good men. II is said DR.. Nor
ris was friendly TO Mr.. Swanson for
Governor and Mr.. Shackelford was 4 sup
porter Of Mr.. Montague. This may or
may not be true. II true, it may have no
real bearing on the case. The case was
held up simply in order that the people
of Henry county may have a chance to
state their objections to the confirmation
Of Mr.. Shackelford.

Mr.. Glass claimed tlat the temporary
understanding clause In his plan would
be administered under the direct super
vision of the Constitutional Convention
and would put the white people beyond
the ordeal OF its operation and would be
used but once to exclude negroes from
The electorate until 1908, when the poll
tax prerequite and the requirement Of a
written application to register for all not
previously registered will come into
operation and keep negroes shut out.
In support Of his poll-taN prerequisite
he showed that out of $4,000 negroes en-
titled TO vote as literates. only 5000
voted for Mckinley in 1900. He cited
other strong instances of the pol-tax
provisions in Mississippi ana South Car
Dina, and read a. letter from Governor
McSweeny, OF South Carolina. stating
that the poll-taN provision was more eff
fective in excluding negroes than either
the understanding clause or the cduca-
tional qualifica ton.
EFFECTUALLY SETTLED.
He quoted a statement made to him
recently by the Speaker Of the House
of representatives. of South Carolina. in
which he said that the poll-taN and cdu-
cational qualification effectually settled
the negro trouble there. and white men
could divide with impunity. III reply TO
a. question from Mr.. BraXton as to
whether he thought his plan was moral,
Mr. Glass said he was sick and tired of
such metaphysical casuistries in the
light of the experience of Inc past thirty
years to preserve the integrity Of the
Anglo-SaXon race.
He exclaimed that wllen.AM Tas fso-l-
sidered that the efforts to disgrace ana
trample upon q brave white race in Nir-
ginia and to deprive them of their God
given birthright OF liberty after the late
war; were moral then. and not until
then, would he listen to questions of
morality as to the right of self-protec-
ton of that grand race Of people.
He concluded his speech in Il maSni-
feceut strain of eloquence that evoked
the greatest outburst of applause heard
since the convention first met.

REPUBLICAN PROPOSITION.
Senator Jones presented q statement
from the Republican, Committee on Com
nittees. outlining Its wishes as TO the
committee assignments, from which it ap-
pearcd that the Republicans were anX-
ious 10 increase the Republican member
snip OF several committees and to de-
crease the Democratic membership of a
few committees. The most important
cnai &c suggested by them was that Re-
puhicans should be allowed TO add one
member 10 their side of. the Committee
pn Commerce, while the Democrats
should agree 10 surrender Que of the
places on that committee held by them
The committee, as now constituted. in
Guides ten Republican and seven Demo-
cratic members It was decided to
vigorously resist this innovation. The
Republicans also expressed a desire to
increase the memberships of the Commit
tee Oh agriculture and Census from nine
TO eleven. The two new members to be
Republicans, to Increase the Committee

To have eight members and the Demo
Gratis .. as against : and G. respective
h. as the committee is now constituted.
An increase is also proposed in the
Committee on Foreign Relations. At
present the committee numbers eleven
members, four of whom are Democrats.
The proposal is to make it consist of
thirteen members. eight of whom shall
be Republicans ana five Democrats. a
change was also suggested in the Com
mittee on Irrigation, which is at present
composed Of six Republicans and five
Democrats. The change, if adopted.
would give a membership OF eleven. only
four Of whom would be Democrats.
DEMOCRATS OPPOSE.
The Democrats decided to oppose the
proposed changes in the Committees on
Claims and Irrigation.
Tho Republican committee suggested
no changes in the Committees on Appro-
priations Finance and Judiciary, hut in
dictated that they will continue Senator
Jones. of Nevada on the Finance Com
mittee. thus practically adding one to the
Republican representation and taking
one from the opposition representation.
The Republicans did not indicate any in
tention to take care of Senator Yelling
ton in the matter of committees, nor was
any suggestion made in the caucus that
the Democrats should find places for him.
