gates The President at
Society Banquet.
Criticises Presidents Action With Ref

Amendment -~ South Wants
To Be Let Alone.

New York, Dec. 3.-President Taft was
bitterly assailed as unqualified to
speak on the negro problem in the
South" by Francis D. Winston, former
lieutenant governor of North Carolina,
who addressed the annual meeting OF
the North Carolina Society of New
York at it's banquet at the Hotel Astor
tonight.
The President, he said, had written
with some heat on the subject. of
the negro and the franchise, a matter
upon which Northern man, Mr. Taft,
had no special right to debate.
1--WE did not expect the President"
said Mr. Winston, Ito discuss our pc
| culiar Southern situation. We know
that his study of it was of necessity
at second hand. At the dinner of the
society last year we were charmed
with his speech and took it as evil
| dence of his good will to the South
| in general. But during the recent
Campaign in Maryland when the State
was considering an amendment along
the lines of those adopted heretofore
| by eight other Southern States, the
President injected letter too direct
in its language not to give tile ia
preston that the adoption of the
| amendment by the voters in Maryland
| was to be signal for an attack in
| liie courts.
I'VE could but construe the uter-
| I, !
| pursued by several of his predeces-
sors. A constitutional amendment
more drastic in principle became the
fundamental law in Mississippi dur
ing the presidency of Benjamin Harri-
son. Under the strenuous Roosevelt,
amendments of similar character he
came the fundamental law in several
Southern States. Yet Roosevelt wrote
no letters.
"The statement was freely made
that the adoption of the Maryland law
" ould bring on . fight in the courts
North Carolina is willing to have tl,is
full matter taken to the courts and
fer her part she invited 6 rigid crit

CONGRESS CONVENED.
All Interest Is Centred at Present on
Taft's Message and the Insurgents.

IaffS Message ana the insurgents
While the insurgents are preparing
to insurge roughshod in this session
of Congress and Speaker Cannon S
power and popularity are waning, at
/ the same time intimations rise up in
every quarter that Theodore Roose-
welt will become the Republican can
didate for President in 1912. Because
+! Washington wouldn't take third term
and Grant couldn't does not dismay
the man in the jungle particle. Prec-
edent is of little value in his eyes.
| Congress convened today, and the
Presidents message will no doubt be
sent in tomorrow. 1t is anticipated
with interest, for all are curious tes see
what Mr.. Taft will say to stem the
rising tide of insurgents and of Roose-
veltism. The very situation invites
radicalism on his part, and the belief
| is that it will be supplied in large
doses on some questions in the mes
sage.
This first regular session of the
SlAly-nISk OOuSI0SS pIO1ulSeS W u0 q
busy one. Many subjects will be ur-
gently presented in the message, and
on these urgent propositions due con-
sideration and action will be expected
alike from standpatters and insur-
gents and the President may get up a
race between them for White House
favors. Just how far arr how sue
cessfully rafu upon rhe Cannon
rules of the House will go remains to
be seen.
The insurgents and Democrats will
probably control the House, but they
may not work well in double harness,
especially when Mr.. Cannon stands
ready to induce some of them to kick
over the traces. He never hesitates
to dicker with the special-interest
Democrats from the effete East
Let us simply hope while we may
that the message will not contain 3d.
900 words. Comparatively few read
such a message, while message of
5000 words, Or about four columns in
The Argus, would be freely read. The
country desires return to the short
messages of the early President.

Rocky Mount, N. c., Dec. AUST as
daylight faded into darkness yester-
day afternoon the sweet spirit of Miss
Sadie Abram, youngest daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. D. A. Abram. of this
city, drifted into the dawn of eternal

the community for many did not even

she complained of a cold, a sudden
chill, physicians, pneumonia, a trained
nurse, anxious loved one, death! These
brief words cover the period of her
illness and going away, but not of her
sweet, pure, unselfish life.
She was the sunshine of the home
and each member of the family look
ed upon her as the tender flower
it's sweetness for them alone. To see
her, one would think it was hers to
be petted and shielded and loved and
these she claimed, in no small degree,
from those who knew her at home and
abroad, but in that petite form there
was hidden a wonderous weight of
character which revealed itself when
ever the call was made for it. When
recent illness came into the home it
| was hers to lift the burden of nurs-
| ing from the shoulders less strong
and increasingly, untiringly, with al
ways the soft step and reassuring
smile she watched night and day be-

Tonsils and Tuberculosis

This interesting despatch comes
from Chicago, under date of May 21:
Wholesale cutting out of tonsils
from the Threats of every one subject
to tuberculosis is advocated by ply
sicians attending the 54th annual con-
yention of the Illinois Homeopathic
Medical Association.
Tonsils clearly had no friends
among the assembled physicians One
described them as things good for
breeding microbes" Another declar-
ed that no use for them ever has been
found, and the agreement was general
that their removal checked incipient
tuberculosis.
Twelve per cent. of the children
examined recently" said DR.. Rich
ard H. Street, were found infected
with incipient tuberculosis. When the
tonsils of these children were removed
there was complete recovery"
DR.. Burton Hazeltine, secretary OF
the association, expressed his approx
al of this indictment of tonsils.
DR.. Hazeltine added that medical
men have been unable to find rea-
son for the existence Of tonsils and
have decided that they are s'vestigal
organ like the appendix, of a lower
form of life"
Tt is probable" he continued, that
they had some use. in some previous
stage of animal life, but we are unable
to discover what that was"
