Resolution on Canteen.

Resolved by the. Army and Navy
Union in convention assembled, That
we desire to go on record with the
officers and men of the army, with
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Taft, with the Spanish veterans and
many other patriotic organizations, in
favor of restoration to the army and to
soldiers homes of the canteen as 1t
was operated prior to 1901.
Resolved, That our own experience
has shown beyond question that the
sale of beer and light beverages in
the army canteen was a veritable tenn
perance measure; that it aided in pro-
noting the moral welfare and COM
fort of the men in the post and in
the camps, and that no greater blow
to genuine temperance was ever struck
than when the law was repealed.
Resolved, That we believe that
Congress should have the courage to
meet this question squarely and fair
ly, and not be influenced, as in the
past, by the theories of persons who
have had no actual experience with
army and navy life. We, therefore,
direct the officers of this organization
to take whatever steps may be neces-
sary to urge Congress to restore the
former law as to the canteen, be-
lieving that we are acting not only
for the good of our soldiers, but like
wise in the interest of temperance and
moderation"

MRS. STOWE HATED NEGROES
In Later Years She Bitterly Repented
"UncIe Toms Cabin"

Monteagle, Tenn, July 24.-Harriet
Beecher Stowe in her 1ater years bit
terly repented having written "Un-
Gle Toms Cabin" and came to hate
negroes, according to Mrs L. N. Whit

on the st. Johns River.
Mrs. Stowe said to her over and
over emphatically that she came
South with a philantropic love for
the negroes, hoping to spend her
last years in beneftting and elevating
them, but she had met disappointment
at every turn; they had abused her
kindness and shown ingratitude and
total want of appreciation.
While talking of "Uncle Toms Ca
bin" Mrs. Stowe said. That story
had it's origin in the idle brain of a
romantic girl of IA years, fired by
the fearful stories told me by my IA
ther and uncle l did not know the
negro then or it would never have
been written.
In her last days Mrs. Stowe would
not allow a negro to do her the least
service.

The protests made by the business
organizations of Savannah have prov
ed unavailing. The superior adyan-
tages of Americus, as a central point
between Savannah and Montgomery
have prevailed. The Superintendent s
office for this division will be re-
moved to this city, as directed some
day ago and the affairs of the entire
400 miles of road will be administer
ed from Americus.
Nobody expected that the efforts
OF the Savannah people to retain the
superintendent Office would be sue
cessful. The logic of the situation
was against them The only wonder
is that the change was not made long
ago and the old status restored. In
the beginning it was recognized that
Americus was the natural headquar-
ters for the division, and it has al
ways been felt here that sooner or
later it would be restored.

intendent and his force is approach

keep them as cool as possible and

the conyeniences for business were

Tactics of the Minority.

The tactics pursued throughout the
day by the minority have been as fol-
lows.
A little local bill, of no especial con-
| sequence, would be introduced and
put upon its first rea ding. AS each
member of the minority voted on this
bill he would occupy the time limit
three minutes, for an explanation as
to why he thus voted A colleague
would then introduce a resolution for
an extension of the time allowed for
the explanation, which would consume
further time on a roll call. Inasmuch
as every mmeber of the minority had
to give the reason that prOmptd him
to vote as he did, and each of them
was given the benefit of resolution
for an extension of time, the delay
was interminable, and it is evident that
unless the rules of the House can be
suspended or changed that legislation
can be brought absolutely to an end
In order to put a stop to the dila-
tory tactics of the antis DR.. Whitley
moved that the rules of the House be
suspended and the prohibition bill be
put upon its passage. This was ruled
out of order. Wright then appealed
from the chair and the point was made
that if the House adjol ed while an
appeal was pending toomrrow morn
ings session would be a continuation
of the session of today and the House
would thus resume consideration of
the prohibition bill instead of defer
ring its further consideration until
next Wednesday, as the antis have
planned
At 1890 o'clock the conditions ex-
listing were the same as they had been
all day. The minority were as deter
mined as ever to stop any action on
the part of the House and stated that
they were prepared to carry on the
hgnt on the same lines indefinitely. Ihe
outlook is that the House will ad-
journ at midnight and that tomorrow
morning it will meet in adjourned ses-
sion and go on with the performance
of today. Whether this will continue
until one side or the other wears out,
some parliamentary method be found
of cutting the knot, remains to be
developed. AS it stands at 10:30~ p.
M, the antis have surprised the prohis
by the vigor of their opposition, by the
skill they have shown in keeping up
the fight, and by the determination
with which they face the future. But
the ants insist there can be no doubt
