HEAD Of GEORGIA ], D, c,

MOULTRIE, Oct. 22.-The nine
tocnth annual convention of the Geor-

'ederacy, was stirred to-day by a
.austic statement read by the State
president, Mrs. Walter d. Lamar, Of
Macon, in reference to. THE South
.ruer." a book written by Walter IL
PAGE. himself a Southerner and at
present Ambassador at the Court of
:. James, under appointment of
President Woodrow Wilson, a native
Of the South.
Following the reading of the state
ment by Mrs. Lamar, parliamentary
toint was sprung to prevent discus
sion of the matter on the floor There
was a debate that lasted more than an
hour, finally the matter was submitted
10 committee which will report
Thursday, when it is expected lively
discussion will ensue.
Mrs. Lamar's Criticism.
Mrs. Lamar's statement was in part
as follows:
In a book called 1.-THE South
erner," Walter H. Page, now Am
bassador at the Court of st.
James, exploits opinions concern
ing the South and her people that
should blast his high hopes and
blight his future before any self
respecting people.
He is a Southern man, educat-
ed at Harvard. and under his
alias of Nicholas Worth, he re-
vles his own people, advocates
miscegenation, ridicules the glo-
ritication of those great Christian
gentlemen, Lee and Jackson, jests
at Daughters of the Confederacy
and Confederate Veterans, de-
clares that there was no intellect
uality among the women of the
South; AYERS that the condition of
affairs in Virginia, which he
claims as his own State, when he
returned after the desolation of
the war, was "laughable."
In a private letter 10 a distin-
suished Southern woman. who
wrote him regretfully. concerning
his book, he replies that the at
tacks on his book are made only
by opponents of the Administra-
ton; that his story was fiction
only, and that the sixteen copies
unsold are now in his possession
and the book plates destroyed.
