reiterated his statement in his circu-
lar that the Bristow amendment is "a
menace to the South" The ablest
Southern statesmen, he declared, have
expressed their opinion that it is a
dangerous measr and should not

gressman Byrnes for voting for IT.;

asked:

Proceeding then from the defensive
to the offensive, Mr.. Byrnes referred
to Colonel Calhoun's circular, which
was this week distributed throughout
the district.
He argued that Colonel Calhoun
had misstated facts; he explained that
the Bristow amendment is not law,
that congress could not make 1t law,
but that to become law It must be
ratified by three-fourths of the states.
The very evils which Coloney Cal
houn's circular holds up as the eff-
spring OF the Bristow amendment

polls-Mr. Byrnes showed are not pro-
vided for in or under the amendment
He denounced Colonel Calhoun's con-
tention az an absudity, and showed
conciusively that the amendment
which he had voted for did not en-
franchise anyone. He charged that
the negro had been '1ugged" into the
matter for the purpose of securing
votes.
Mr.. Byrnes also read several let

who had also written Colonel Calhoun,

Congressman Neeley Had
Important Business

LII Is q well known IhCC Inat
most of Uncle Sans business at
Washington is transacted after it
has gone through several yards of
what is commonly known as red
tape" This method of doing bus
mess has been in vogue so long
that the average person takes it as
a matter of course, and congress
men calmly wait for stenograph-
ers, clerks and porters to handle
important business when it suits
their sweet pleasure.
A few days ago Congressman
George Medley had a message from
an old soldier living at Hutchin-
son who wanted a pension. Mr..
Medley inquired into the merits of
the case and found that this old
veteran had served through the
Civil War, had been a good SOL
der and had never asked for a
pension before. He was now a
very old man and a few weeks ago
suffered a paralytic stroke. In
addition to his infrmities he was
without funds and his friends
were paying his doctor bills and
taking care of him. A number Of
citizens of Hutchinson took the
matter in hand and sent word to
Mr.. Medley that the old gentle
man needed the pension at once.
Mr.. Medley prepared and into
duced bill In Congress and then
waited until the day set for the
meeting of the Pension Committee.
He called at the Committee room
but he was met at the door by a
colored porter who informed the
Kansas congressman that the COM
mittee was in session and that or
ders had been given to admit no
one. Mr.. Neeley gently pushed
the negro to one side, opened the
door and stepped into the front
office, where he was met by a
clerk who reiterated the statements
of the porter. Without further
ceremony the congressman brought
his good right arm into play again
and pushed the clerk out of the
way. He then opened the door
and walked into the committee
room. Here he was confronted
by the chairman of the committee,
who informed the congressman
that they were transacting impor.
tant business at that hour and that
they could not be disturbed. Mr..
Neeley answered in a firm and
convincing manner in telling the
that he did not wish to
intefere with their business, nor
did he desire to break any rules,
but here was the case of an old
man who had fought for the pre-
servation of the Union; had been
injured and was now an old, feeble
man, unable to care for himself,
lying Hat of his back, and wholly |
dependent upon the charity of
friends. This old gentleman was
asking his government to pay him
q small portion of what he has
earned. Now, Mr.. Chairman"
said the big congressman from the
Seventh, Il know that you have
no more important business on
your calendar today than this,
and | respectfully ask that you
set on this bill right now" The
chairman assured Mr.. Medley that
MS request would be complied
with at once. The old veteran got
MS pension within a few days.
