WILLIAMS DEFENDS THE SOUTH.

vigorous defense of the South for
It's attitude on the negro question was
made by Mr.. Williams (Miss), who said
the statement from the Republican was
sharp game" II would, he said, be in
torestlng to know whether or not the
word was passed down from the Republi-
can leader on this floor to play the game"
1t was also an old game, known long
time to those who know anything about
American politics that when the Republi-
can party found itself faced with issues
that threatened its supremacy it began to
wave the bloody shirt one way or an
other. He said, however, there was one
thing neither the Republican party nor
the entire world could do and that was
''to make the South consent to regard
social equality as thing to be desired" 4"
Nor could they make the South consent
to the proposition that the right of the
negro consists in giving him power to
govern the white men OF the South.
He declared as absolutely false that the
negros rights in the South are not reci
oenized much more abundantly than any
where else, 'shis God-given, inalienable,
born right to earn his living in the sweat
of his brow, and the right to a fair
competent to exercise the right OF suf-
Mirage should be armed with it. The Re-
publican party cannot persuade Southern
white men that it is not a good or hui
fnanc thing to purify in the South, the
white mans civilization and to perpetuate
there the two things upon which he said.
II was founded-the white mans code of
ethics and the sanctity of the white mans
family"
All the world knows, he said, that social
equality leads finally to the lack of racial
integrity ard purity.
Mr.. Williams referring to Mr.. Bartholdt's IS
statement that President Jefferson had
dined negro, provoked laughter and ap-
plause when he said that 'every man
knows that if the negro ate at Monticello.
he ate i'll Jefferson's kitchen and not at

Unless the negro race was lifted up.
Mr.. Williams said the entire race would
go down. The people Of the South ap-
preciated that fact. 1t was going to lit
this race, gently, sanely and in the proper
way. 1t had the kindliest feeling for
the negro. Personally, Mr.. Williams said

! Mr.. Bartholdt (Mo.), spoke of the fact
tnat Thomas Jefferson had honored a ne
go with formal invitation to dinner
at his family table The only reason that
iacr is not generally known, lie said
was because nobody thought anything OF

| Jefferson for it.
Mr. Bartholdt said that if in the judg-
r,ent of the Democrats President Roose-
welt had made a mistake in inviting Mr.
Washington to dine with him then what
Thomas Jefferson did must from the Dem.
ocratic standpoint be an objectionable
social sin. The Presidents luncheon to
Washington, he said was a hurried, i'm
proyised affair." while in the case of JEFF
ierson it was well arranged, we'll pre-

there was but one alternative, the Presi-

The important phase Of the report is
it's fading regarding the connection OF
members with the business of the Post

lows
''After careful consideration OF oil
cases spccfied in the report the committee
have unanimously reached the conclusion
that nothing has appeared in connection
with said cases that would justify the
finding that any member of the House OF
REPRESENTATIVES has profited financially In
the slightest degree or that any member
was guilty of improper conduct IN con-
pection Herewith, or that any member
has done in connection with any of saiu
cases ANYTHING that did not appear to
be within the line of his official duty,
according 70 long established custom.

in their opinion it would be well to make
as formal as may be, and to restrain
within tho narrowest possible limits, the
action of members IN connection with

A SUB. FOR SEVEN
"A Tobacco Bill Reported
Coming Sham Battle
at Manassas.
Especial to News and Observer)

Especial to News and Observer)
Washington, d. c., April PA bill
that is OF very great Importance to the
tobacco growers of North Carolina has
been this week reported to the House by
the Ways and Means Committee.
1t is substitute for seven other bills
for the relief OF tobacco growers intro
dnced It various times during the .ses-
sion. The bill has the approval of the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue who
expresses the opinion that it will furnish
soms relief to the farmer without ma
tcraly decreasing the revenue. By this
proposed act three important changes are
made in existing law. First, i'll impof-
tance Is the fact that it gives the farmer
the right to twist his leaf tobacco for
his personal use or the personal use of
his friends or members OF his family. He
has no right, however, to sell it or offer
! 1T Tor sale, without Paying the tax and
Qualifying as a manufactures of tobacco
Also, the bill removes absolutely all limi-
tation 10 the right Of the farmer to sell
| MS leat tobacco in its natural condition
to any person he pleases, the individua
consumer, the dealer in leaf tobacco, the
manufactures, the exporter, or to the
country merchant or any one else.
! Though this bill by no means carries
all the relief that the farmers ought to
have along this line, still it is step
in the right direction.
Bull Run will be the scene of third
battle next September. The historic Civl
War battlefield has been chosen as the
site for the joint field manoeuvers of the
division of the Atlantic and the militia Of
the Eastern States in which the militia OF
North Carolina is included. Invitations
have been issued to the governors of al
Ed tern States to send troops.
The regulars and militiamen will as
