Mr.. TAFT AT ATLANTA.

The people Of the South have been
waiting anxiously TO know just what
Mr.. Taft would say at Atlanta. From
Augusta to Atlanta his journey was
one continuous ovation and when he
reached the banquet bail on the even
inc of the 18th one hundred pos
sums erinned a cheerful welcome,
and 500 representative citizens OF
Georgia and sister states sat with him
at the tables. His possum' weigh
ed is pounds, was fat and fine, and
as it had been prepared and cooked
by an old "Georgy Nanny it was
clothed in the regulation brown.
But it is not OF the feast we care to
write. but the thing that most concerns
us. is the speech of the guest OF nom
or Let us read his own words hay
ing reference to Southern conditions:

WORDS OF WISDOM

We do not share the apprehension Of
some of our far South contemporaries
that political equality Of the negro
such as Mr. Taft desires means the
enforcement OF such policy by the
Federal power. (which will have the
effect Of disturbing seriously the pro-
gress prosperity and tranquility Of The
SOUTH And for the reason that the
South will not submit TO negro politi-
cal equality. She hath said it and
means il. As regards this issue she
will continue TO pursue the policy that
has brought her progress, prosperity
and tranquility, 10 the end of render
ing these conditions all the more per
manent. That is ~ fixed as the laws
of the Modes aud the Persians, Mr.
raft's desire, zeal for the fifteenth

amendment TO the contrary nOtwith-

of Southern civilization as we do the
