President Harding made three-day
trip into the Southland to attend the
semi-centennlal celebration of Birmlng-
ham. Ala. and he took the occasion
to speak some plain words on the race
problem. He declared that unless
our democracy is lie," there must be
economic, educational and political
equality for the negro, but without
attempt at social equality. Here are
a few Of his pthy sentences:
II would say let the black man vote
when he Is tit to vote; prohibit the
white man voting when he is unfit to
vote"
u wish that both the tradition OF
a solidly Democratic South and the
tradition of solldly Republican black
race might be broken up"
Men of both races mag well stand
uncompromIslngly against every sug-
gestion of social equality. This is not
a question OF recognizing a funda-
mental, eternal, unacceptable differ
ence."
"Racial amalgamation there cannot
be. Partnership of the races In de-
veloplng the highest aims Of all hu-
mainly there must be If humanity is
to achieve the ends which we have
set for IT,"
''The black man should seek to he,
and he should be encouraged TO he, the
hest possible black man, and not the
best possible imitation of a white
man."

THOSE LIGHTS ON

MYSTERY WHICH HAS PUZZLED
SCIENTISTS FOR SEVERAL
YEARS IS SOLVED.
ANDEAN LIGHTING IS CAUSE
As Regards Seasons, the Phenomenon
Always Begins In the Late Spring
and Last Seen In Late Fall.

Asheyille.--The mysterious light on
Brown Mountain in Burke county,
which has puzzled scientists for sew
eral years, leading to many and va
ried theories as to It's origin, IS
mystery no longer, II the explanation
contained in the current publication
OF the American Meteorological So
ciety bulletin has the correct solu-
ton.
"Andean lightning is the name Of
this phenomenon, according to Her
bert Lyman, writing in the bulletin.
"Andean lightning says the report,
as the name given to very strik-
ing luminous discharge OF electricity
seen over the crest OF the Andes in
Chile, in a region where ordinarily
thunderstorms are almost unknown.
However the same phenomenon has
been observed in the Swiss Alps and
the mountains OF North Carolina. De-
tailed accounts OF its appearance In
the region OF Brown mountain az
miles from Blowing Rock In the
summers OF 1917 and 1918 we're given.
As regards seasons the phenomenon
begins in the late spring and is last
seen in the fall The frequency OF
discharge, says DR.. Knoene, seems In
general to decrease with increase In
distance from the equator.
In the discussion the occurrence OF
such mountain brush discharges in

was the guest of honor at dinner
given by the Chicago Commercial

has aroused widespread comment.
Briefly, he advocated the cancellation
of all war debts between nations as
the only remedy for the economic dis
tress of the world. Debtor nations,
he said. have no alternative but TO at
tempt to square their obligations by
flooding the markets Of their creditors
with goods. Great Britain and the
United States, he said, have war debts
owing them of approximately equal
slze-about Sl0,OoO,0O0,OO0. and his in
ference was that II cancellation of the
debts was fair for one. II was fair
for the other. Some American finan-
clers In commenting on Mr.. McKenna's
views agreed with him In the main,
but others asserted that the plan rs
political proposal was impossible at
this time and would not be entertained
by the American people. They did not
fail to point out that, while the United

from the war; Great Britain not only
obtained vast territories but also In

There Is a shary division of opinion
among Southern members of congress,
most of who are Democrats, as to
President Harding's Birmingham
speech on the negro in politics. Many
of them who we're at first extreme in
their criticism, have, to some extent,
modified their views after reading the
full text, and believe that while the
president has spoken plainly and with
courage, his purcose has been to point
out the folly of negro social aspirations

last week created considerable excite
ment and II must be said, rejoicing.
by taking the lid off the manufacture
and sale of beer and wine for medic
inal purposes. Convinced that II was
unfair TO wait longer for congress to
pass the anti-beer bill, he issued the
regulations necessary. Not more than
two and one-half gallons of beer may
be prescribed at one time for use by
the same person, but there Is no limit
on the number OF prescriptions that
may he issued by physician. The
limit for one wine prescription is two
quarts. but there is no limit to the
number of prescriptions.
Naturally Wayne Wheeler and the
other radical dry leaders in Washing
ton were greatly exercised by Secre-
tary MELONS action. and announced
that the anti-beer measure would be
pushed forward for passage at the
first opportunity. According to MFR.
Wheeler. In only few states will II
be practicable to prescribe beer and
wine as medicine, owing to state pro-
hibitlon laws.
