The Negro question, says Mont
gomery letter. was discussed at length
one day last week, when a bill was
called up to appropriate $4,000 addi-
tional annually for a Negro school Sit
uated in this city. The bill was finally
passed by vote of Al to 80. Mr.
Wood, who comes from Tuskegee,
where Booker T. Washington's school
is situated, was severe in his talk
about Washington and his methods.
He said in part: THE Rev. Sam
Jones has been told by Washington,
and has printed the statement that not
one of his (Washington's) students has
been in the penitentiary. A bigger
lie than that has never been told. The
only two legal hangings in my county
were students Of Washingtons school,
and they were charged with crimes
against women. Washington himself
the courts of my city. The records of
two courts will show that some of
Washington's pupils have been convic-
ted of every crime known, and that
there is not student of WaShington's
school living in my county that is now
earning an honest living. l am OPP
posed to giving money to educate the
Negro along industrial lines" Mr..
Simpson Of Lauderdale, said that Mr..
Wood did not represent the sentiment
of the south. The members discussed
the race question all the afternoon ses-
sion pro and con. Mr.. Werner of Tus-
caloosa said God knows l don't
favor social equality or anything like
it, but the people of Alabama owe
the Negro something, and it should
be paid. There is not a man upon the
floor of this house that has not gotten
money from the sweat of the Negro's 8
brow, who worked and toiled for him."
