At the Georgia homecoming ex-
ercises at La Grange, on Tuesday,
Governer-elect, Hoke Smith delivered
an address on Their question in the
South, in which he said that the
fourteenth amendment to the Consti-
tuition binders the most intelligent
mode of handling the subject. He said:
"Our national government has al
ways legislated for the Indians, plac-
ing around them restrictions entirely
different from those applied to white
men. But for the fourteenth amend
ment to the Constitution we should
follow the same plan in Georgia with
reference to the negroes. The white
man must accept full responsibility
and control of the situation. This is
the white mans country, and it is the
white mans burden. The negro
should be encouraged to help. Kindly
but firmly the large majority OF ne
groes must be supervised and directed
bv the white man. The fact shoul(
be kept in mind that a very large
number of negroes are irresponsible
and when left in idleness are prone u
crime. We must exhaust all lega
means to save negroes from idleness.

As to the merit of the fight being

some difference of opinion, but the

troubles between them might nave

The principal character is that Of
Pamnena, the daughter Of an Indian

one Of the strongest and most inter

does the influences Of educational re-
tinement on a typical Child Of ma

Of character that she has inherited
