Dixon and published by the Raleigh News and Observer I also under stand that he has entered another suit against the newspaper. Ihls case which will come up in the Fed eral Court in the near future, is llKe- ly to become historical. To sum It up briefly it will decide if it $ islander to publicly denounce the human yultures carpetbaggers and scalawags, who fastened like teaches on the seemingly exhausted and help- less Southland in the dark days Of Reconstruction. If MT. Dixon has been guilty of islander then every patriotic speaker and writer of the South is likewise guilty.
 "I happened to be in Raleigh when Judge Montgomery made a polltlcai speech in which he bitterly denounc- ed and attacked the brave man who bv means of the Ku kluX klan and by other me ethods served their be- loved State from the horrors of negro rule and at the same time praised the scalawag leaders who made such terrors possible. When MT. Dixon wrote his now famous reply to Mont gonmery he simply voiced the sentl- ments of an outraged people who were provoked to protest against the men who had committed what the News and Observer editorially called the unpardonable sin MT. Dixon had much company in giving express sion to his feelings for the most prominent men of the state expressed themselves similarly in public speech and print.
 There are many striking things III the Dixon letter. One was as fol- lows: If my books or plays ever meet the approval of Southern scalawag or traitor. will withdraw them from circulation. Every decent citizen of America today, white or

h,ack. Democrat or Republican, North or South, is ashamed of the foul re- cord of Recontruction, except the na- tive skunk, who still lives in the South and habitually betrays his race for office. The courage of the Celt, the nobility of the Norman, the vigor of the Viking, the energy of the An gle, the tenacity of the Saxon, the daring of the Dane, the gallantry of the Gaul, the earthhunger of the Ro- man. and the stoicism of the Spar tan, are the heritage of the Southern white man by divine gift of blood from sire and dame, through hum dreds of generations and through centuries of culture.'
 "This extract from the Dixon letter is only one of the mild portions. In it's entirely it is probably the most scathing invective that has ever ap- peared in print. The outcome of the trial will be watched with eagerness all through the South.

Millinery Is one Of the most impor-

as carefully considered as the elabo-

COUNTRY CLEARLY AT FAULT
Provisions for Taking Care of Unfor-
tunate tuberculosis Victims Are
All Too Meager.

The National Association for tho
Study and Prevention of Tuberculo-
sis states that there are in the United
States at least 100000 consumptives
who are so poor that they cannot pay
for proper medical treatment in tuber-
cluOsis sanitoria and hospitals. Some
of them can pay small amounts a
week for their maintenance, but the
great majority of them cannot pay any,
thing. For this large class of pa
tients the entire country has provided
only 10000 beds for the free treatment
of tuberculosis. In Alabama, Arkan-
sas. Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi, Mon
tana, Nevada, North Dokota, Okla
homa, Oregon, Philippine islands,
South Dakota, Texas. Utah, West
Virginia and Wyoming there is no
place where the consumptive without
means can be treated but in the jails
or the insane asylums of these states,
and in most cases he will get no treat
ment there. Sixteen other states pro-
vide less than so beds each for poor
consumptives. In only two states.
Massachusetts and New York, have
beds for needy tuberculosis patients
been provided. so that at least one
in ten may find place for treatment.
In many of the other states not one
in fifty of the destitute consumptives
can find bed in a hospital or sana-
torium.

and this assistance was gratefully ac
