The seventeeth annual din
ner OF the New York South

urday night last in the ban
quet hall Of the Waldorf-As.
toria' Members of the socie.
ty and theirguests, including
their wives and daughters,
were present. 1t was Il bril-

nearly seven hundred people.
and was presided over by A.
j. Van Wyck, president ofthe

Wyck, after reviewing the
South's resources and devel-
opment, touched upon the
race question in these terms.
"What theSouth needssnd
must have is'peace at home,

the nation. ri international
peace. There is but one un'
settled problem peculiar to
tina section commonly called
t h e negro question. I h e

left alone will sci tie it rightly
and justly IN a christian spirit
The natural friendship be"
tween whites and blacks OF
long standing. with no idea
of social equality, is well
known to those at all famiIA
lar with the subject. The best
friend OF the black race is the
white race OF the South. The
future welfare aud develop
ment OF the former rests upon
the absence of conflict be-
tween the two. Let no \
merican citizen who loves his
country be a party to stimu
late a war of races.
This is brief but straight
to the point, and We trust il
will come under the eye o
each and every fanatic, anc
theorist at the North who
through wilful ignorance Of
sectional hatred, is constant

If these people. profit b!

that there remains no time
