inclined that way, they were disgusted
by Mr.. Bryan's cool reception of the
overtures made to him by some dis.
tinguished members of the race. And
the thinking ones, perhaps, thought
that Col. Watterson could have been
employed much more sensibly in
breaking up the solidarity of the solid
south, or in freeing his own state of
the night-riders. The solidarity of
the Afro-American is a. very sensible
solidarity compared with that of the
solid south.

PREsIDENT.ELEcT w. II. TAFT
Addresses the North Carolina Society
Of New York

Addresses the North Carolina Society
OF New York.
President-elect William H. Taft ad.
dressed the North Carolina Society Of
New York City, Monday night, Mr..
Taft said in part:
II come at once to the present
condition of things, stated from con-
stitutional and political standpoint.
And that is this: That in all South
ern States it is> possible, BY election
laws prescribing power qualifications
for the suffrage which square with
the fifteenth amendment and which
shall be equally administered as be-
tween the black and white races tn
prevent entirely the possibility of q
domination of Southern state, county
or municipal governments by an ig-
norant electorate, white or black. It
IS further true that the sooner such
laws when adopted are applied with
exact equality and justice to the two
races the better for the moral tone of
the state and community concerned.
Negroes should be given an op.
portunity, equally with whites, by ed
ucation and thrift, to meet the re-.
qulrements of eligibility which the
state legislatures in their wisdom
shall lay down in order to secure the
safe exercise of the electoral fran
ch1se. The Negro should ask moth.
ing other than an equal chance IN
qualify himself for the franchise. and
when that is granted by law and not
denied by executive discrimination. he
has nothing to complain Of. ;
The proposal to repeal the 18th
amendment is utterly impracticable
and should be relegated to the limbo
OF forgotten issues What we are
considering is something practical.
something that means attainable pro.
gress. 1t seems to me to follow.
therefore, that there is or ought to he
common ground upon which we
can all stand in respect to the race
question in the South, and it's politi-
cal bearing, that takes away any iur-
lsdlctlon for maintaining the contin.
ued solldity of the South to prevent
the so-called Negro domination.
The fear that in some way or other
social equality between the races
snail be enforced by law or brought
| about by political measures really has
no foundation, except in the imagina
ton OF those who fear such a result
The federal government has nothing
TO 40 with social equality"

A Disgraceful Affair.

Saturday night about midnight six
young men of this town went to the
street corner, at the Methodist par
sonage, three of them going into the
yard and upon the porch and
three remaining outside the gate, and
in an offensive manner sang. These
young men according to Mr.. Daniels
statement had the appearance of be-
ing intoxicated, and evidently went
to the parsonage for the purpose of
insulting the pastor, Rev. j. L. Dan
iel.
Nearly two years ago Rev. Daniel
in the course of a sermon remarked
that he had heard a song-Sweet Ad-
eline-so often that he would not
mind if Sweet Adeline were dead.
Shortly after that time several boys
and young men went to the parson-
age and in a boisterous manner threw
missiles at the parsonage and sang
and used profane language, greatly
to the modification and insult of Rev.
Daniel and aamily: Mrs. Daniel, be-
ing sufferer from a nervous malady,
was terribly upset, and for time
the family were apprehensive as to
their safety.
Mrs. Daniel was 80 shocked that
it was necessary for her to go away
for some time. This matter finally
blew over, and it was thought no
more would be heard of it, but since
this recent outrage Rev. Daniel says
there have been one or two boys or
young men, who have not missed a
chance passing the parsonage to
sing Sweet Adeline." No notice was
taken of this, however, and he hoped
there would be no further unpleas-
antness. Last Tuesday Mrs. Daniel
had asurgical operation, and has since
been very Ill, and this affair Saturday
night was calculated to result in Sc
rious harm to her, as she naturally
became very nervous over the matter.
Coming, too, just on the eve of the
annual conference, when Mr.. Daniel
is to wind up his third year, it is es-
pecially dastardly and outrageous.
Rev. Daniel recognized most of
these young men but will not give
out their names for publication, else
they would be published. Language
is not strong enough to express the
condemnation which all right think
ing persons should feel for such an
outrageous act. These young night
providers should be dealt with by the
law and made to know that in Wal
terboro a mans home is his castle,
and he is sacred therein; and especial
ly If that home contain an invalid
lady, or if it be a minister's home.
Had Rev. Daniel shot these mar
auders down on his porch they would
have "been paid for" and no one
could have condemned him. The cit
liens of Walterboro, irrespective of
denominational beliefs, should let it
be known that they condemn such
outrageous acts, and brand the per-
petrators as worse than criminals

HARRY A. COOK
WILL HAVE POSITION
Has Made Great Record In Work of
the Institution and Selection
Considered Fortunate.

As a result of telegram from
Harry A. Cook. from Springfield,
Mass, received by y. +. Turner dur
ing the meeting of the Y NJ c. A..
Every Day in the Year" Bible class
stating that the above Mr. Cook had
accepted the position as physical di-
rector in the local Y. NJ. c. A. the
meeting was turned into manifest
celebration
The news indeed was good tidings
When seen last night " r. Turner
said "Of ali the men in the assoc
citation work, Mr.. Cook is the man
most desired for the position. He IS
a western man. of Seattle, and having
commenced his work in that city,
speak the name of Harry Cook to the
boys of the Seattle association who
remember him and see the result.
in my estimation he is the man
best qualified TO have charge of the
physical work available at the pres
ent or any other time. He has had
several years experience in the ath-
letic work of the associa ion in vari-
Gus cities and leaves a clean record
Of accomplished wonders behind him.
! am going home and have a little
celebration of my own after this one
is over"
Further conversation with Mr..
Turner brought out the following
facts aboul Mr. Cooks work. Sew
era years ago he was physical direc-
tor of the Seattle association, where
he accomplished seeming impossible
wonders in the athletic work of that
7 u
called to Everett, where he remained
four yea $. At the end of that time
he became dissatisfied with his own
work and left for the y. NJ. c. A..
training school at Springfield, Mass,
where he has been the past three
years. In all three years he has
played and coached on the football,
baseball. basketball and the track
teams of that institution. The last
iwo years he has acted in the capac-
lily of assistant instructor of the ply
steal department of the institution.
Advices received in this city say that
in the class that graduates this year
Mr.. Cook is considered the mo t
efficient and capable for association
work.
The call was sent in by l.. O.
Janeck and c. II. Human of the
board OF trustees of the local asso-
citation. At the time it was received.
SO Mr.. Cook wrote Mr. Turner last
week, Mr. Cook was the recipient of
five other calls.
Mr.. Cook has, for the past two
years. acted as instructor in gy1nnas-
ties in the summer school of the uni
vefsity OF Washington and is billed
to act in that capacity this summer
The school is over the last OF July,
and he viii, commence his work here
the first of August.
The telegram announcing his
/ choice was received last night at 8
p. m. while the Y. NJ. c. A. Bible
class was ending up the evening ses-
sion. After the meeting number of
the members stayed to discuss many
phases of he association work.
