GOV. HAYWOOD ON
THE NEGRO PROBLEM.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 12.-The second
annual session of'the Southern lmmi-
grafton and Quarantine conference be-
gan today. The real purpose OF the
conference Is to bring about more
equitable distribution of immigrants.
The idle negro class causes some APP

II is said, and this operates against
the south receiving what 1t thinks Is It's

that our northern friends will be ready
to do something more than simply give

Gov. Haywood did not believe that
the antagonism between the races in
the south was as bad as had been re-

II do not believe" said he. "that the
southern people are standing on a vol

from race war"
In conclusion Gov Hayward said;
THE white race is the predominant
race and the negro must understand

social and political questions will be
determined by the white man and by
the white mems code. He has a right
