call to your attention the serious con-
dit:on in this State at these negro in
stitutions where white people are
teaching. l notice the press has made
a great hurran, and some people have
had a great deal to write and say
about the Fortner bill. Knowing con-
ditions as | do, having seen with my
own eyes and having heard with my
own eays, and having talked to people,
say tc you gentlemen that the situa-
ton is a very serious one. The mat
ter of few white women teaching
negroes in the city Of Charleston may
not be so bad, and shall not express,
in this communication, my opinion as
OF wnat l think of any white woman
who will teach negroes anywhere.
But the conditions in Charleston are
possibly quite different from what
they are in anese schools where white
people are teaching negroes, sleeping
in the same rooms with negroes, eat
ing \at the same tables with negroes,
going to the same church with neg
roes, and associating with them gen
erally-which is teaching the negro
to look forward to social equality, and
which is putting in their hearts, as
the pictures of these white women
hanging in their rooms show, their
desire to come into closer contact with
white people.
The preachers-some Of then-and
the wspapers-some Of them-may
rant, but South Carolina is going to
regret the day when she allows these
conditions, and if these conditions con-
tinue you will have more lynchings,
and. more stigmas upon the fair name
of our State.
l appeal to you once again. to pass
the Fortner bill If Charleston is
so terribly interested in her pet white
teachers who teach negroes, let
Charleston be exempted from the bill.
She seems to be exempted from all
other laws in this State, and l don't
see that it would do any harm to make
her an exception in this matter.
AS governor, l have sounded the
note of warning l have done my
part If you fail to do yours, you and
you alone. are responsible. Some Of
you will not be in office when the leg
.islature convenes again, but it is a
fact that you nave a heart and con-
science, and by not helping to relieve
these conditions the day may come
when you will regret it.
There are sections of South Carolina
where things that are being permitted
in other sections would not be allowed
any longer than it would take to blow
horn and congregate few people.
Very respectfully,

B0sf0n-AfhIefics Are Primed
for the Opening Game

There is more real ill-feeling be-
tween the teams than has been evi-
denced in a series 10 years.
The surprising thing is that the
Braves are chock-full Of confidence in
themselves. Every one Of them thinks
they are bound TO win and any argu-
ment 10 the contrary is ridiculed.
They believe their pitching strength
viii carry them through. IL was my
pleasure TO be IN last night al one
Of their meetings at which they dis
cussed plans. They have plan Of
campaign that is astounding. and
their signalling system ia absolutely
new In baseball Other teams have
charged again and again that tho Ath-
letics steal signals. but you may de-
pend upon It. there will not be any
signals stolen or tipped off this year.
II Macks men attempt il. they will
have the surprise Of their lives.
The Braves signalling system is de-
vised with the idea OF permitting the
Athletics 10 think they have IL, and
70 cross them on every turn.
The weather outlook this morning
is dubious. but threatened rain has
not affected the interest and the pros
poets were for the largest crowd Phil
adelphia has seen in years. Sentiment
is largely in favor Of the Braves even

is that the fuss between Manager Stall

Braves are going out there to fight. Con
nic Mack having failed to reply 10 the
ultimatum that he come to the Majestic
Hotel and have his head punched there
/ is nothing left for the Braves to do,
but assert themselves on the field. The
injury of "Red" Smith. and the conse-
quent sending OF Charlie Deal to third
base has forced Stallings 20 make a
change in his batting order. Catcher Hank
Gowdv. who heretofore has batted just
ahead Of the pitcher, has been moved up
into Smiths place with Maranville and

The Athletics arrived during the day

country homes primed for the fray, pois-
ed and ready TO meet the slashing at

considerable worry, appeared TO be in
fairly good shape today, and Mack did
not expect it 10 cause any trouble or
weaken his crack first baseman in throw
ing or batting.
In the Braves camp, there was
nothing but complete confidence.

Athletics, not only because of the run

out. Not a word has come from Con-
