CARRIES ANCESTRY.
Famous WIeIder of the Hatchet Claims to
BE Descended From the Duke
of Argyle.

Kansas City, No. Feb. Carrie
Nation, Joint Smasher" and temper
ance reformer, who gained such noto-
riety throughout the East from her
original methods of reform, announces
that she is a direct descendant OF
Alexander Campbell, the Duke of Ar
gyle.
Mrs. Nation says she has been
aware of the relationship since child
hood, but has avoided making the fact
public property for fear of adverse
comment
The story of the relationship came
to light through Mr.. Moore, Mrs. Ma
tons brother, who conducts a store
in Kansas City. Not long ago a
cheap print representing a group of
Scottish warriors came into his pos
sion and was hung up in the store
marked for sale. A cousin of Mrs.
Nation seeing the picture happened to
give it more than a passing glance,
whereupon she exclaimed: why.
that is Grandpa Campbell's picture"
The print was removed and now oc-
cupies place in the Moore home.
Mrs. Nation is building a home for
drunkards wives in Kansas City and
it is probable the picture of her illus
trious ancestor will grace the walls
of the new Institution.

DEFENDED THE SOUTH
Arkansan Took Rev. DR.. Park
hurst to Task.
Negro Question the Issue-Minister Said
We Needed to BE ChristianiZed.
Barbarism Stul Exists.

New York, Feb. IA Souther1er
took the Rev. DR.. Charles H. Park
hurst to task today-in Madison Square
Presbyterian Church for statements
made from the pulpit at the morning
service in reference to the South
He followed DR.. Parkhurst into the
-lecture room and waited for him to
lay aside his clerical garb. 1t was
these words of the divine that the
Southerner resented:
Even at this day. 50 long after
the proclamation of ema1 1cipation,
there is in many parts OF the South
condition of veritable slavery. Al
though we claim to be a civilized peo--
pie, there is a degree Of barbarism
in our treatment of the black race
that is not exceeded in any part Of
the world And although we send
our missionaries to Christianize other
lands, there are communities in the
South as un-Christian seaay part OF
heathendOm."
The Southerner was we'll dressed
and punctilious, and gave the impress
sion that he would sooner walk
thousand miles than ride in Jim
Crow car He introduced himself as
from Arka lsas, but did not give his
name. He advanced as soon as DR..
Parkhurst had doffed his cassock, and
opened fire with the assertion that
there was no such thing as negro
question" in the South. He told DR..
Parkhurst he was misinformed as to
| conditions in that section. The ne
| groes were treated properly, he de-
| clared.
What about the grandfather
clause and the systematic suppression
of the negro voter" DR.. Parkhurst
asked.
Grandfather Clause.
'"That clause affects illiterate whites
as we'll as blacks" said the Arkansan.
1T is a policy due to political con"
ditions, and there is no warrant for
declaring that a condition of barbar-
! ism exists in the South
The discussion was becoming warm,
and many persons looked on amazed.
One of the officers of the church
chimed il that he stood by every
word the doctor said"
The Arkansan was cool and spoke
with a suavity just short of provoking.
He defended lynchings with South
erner's respect for women, and his
| defense was eloquent.
But l have myself received from
O reliable man report of lynch.
/ ing which took place lately within
|
an figured in the case" said DIR. Park
hurst.
81 wish to be fair-minded in this
matter, though, and l will say to you
what l have often said before, that
in some respects the negroes receive
worse treatment in the North than
in the South. But come to the meet
ing next Wednesday night. Our minds
are open and we wish to learn all the
facts. l cordially invite you to be
present at the meeting and to give
expression to your views. l can as
sure you that you will have a fail
|, hearing"
The Arkansan thanked DR.. Park
! hurst and said he regretted that he
had to leave New York before thai
time. DR.. Parkhurst extended his
hand, the Arkansan took it, and, bow
ing with courtly dignity, retired.
