HARDING'S FATHER
SUGGESTS REUNION
OF BLUES and GRAYS
Especial to The Tribunel


/ NEW ORLEANS. La, Apr 27-At
the closing sessions of the Confeder-
ate reunion considerable uproar was
caused when an aged confederate
veteran offered resolution for a
joint reunion with the G. A. R. at
Washington next year.
DR. George Harding, of Marion, O.,
father of President Harding, spoke
twice during the day. He declared
that he considered Robert E. Lee the
gratest of American generals and
Jefferson Davis one of the countrys
greatest statesmen. He said that he
felt very kindly towards the South
inasmuch as his grandmother was a
cousin of the mother of jefferson
Davis. He declared that he wanted
a reunion of the blue and the gray
in Washington next year if possible
General Julian S. Carr, of Durham,
N c. commander-in- chief, at a ses-
sion during the discussion of the
term rebel as applied to the CON
federate soldiers, shouted: I'm a
rebel and Ku Klux too" and shouts
of 81 am too" came from all quar-
ters Of the auditorium
Pandemonium reigned when a con
federate veteran, apparently over 90
years of age offered resolution de-
claring that nasmuch as the ranks Of
the Blue and Gray were fast thinning
and animosity long ceased, suggested
that committee be appointed to
meet a similar committee from the C.
A. R. to perfect arrangements for a
joint reunion in the near future
Almost as one voice shouts came
from all corners of the hall, Not in
Thousand Years" and men Ieaped
to their feet. The resolution was
tabled without even a second. One
speaker pointed to the old man and
shouted. You look old enough to
have known better than to have put
such a measure before this body"
Commenting on the meeting, AT
torney Robert l.. vann, editor of the
Pittsburgh Courier, said: The South
is hostile to every thought which en-
tertains the slightest sympathy for
the cause of the Federal army. If
the North would admit today that
the South was right in 1860; that
Grant forced Lee to surrender by
strength of money and man power.
there would be reunion, the like of
which this world never saw.
President Harding, nor his father
can ever sop the South with their
united country oratory. The coun-
try is not united in the eyes of the
Southerners, and never will be united
until the North admits that the cause
of the South was right
"And the South uses the Negro as
its convenient argument. The North
must admit that the Negro has no
business voting, holding office, at
tanning a high degree of intelligence
through education, nor venturing to
assert the slightest desire to be con-
sidered equal to other specimens of
Gods creation, to win the approva!
Of the South. If the North can elm
mate the Negro from the plan of Gre
alton, if it can be agreed between
the two great sections that the Ne
gro is not even human, then the
united country President Harding
and his father are talking about will
become a possibility
AS long as Negro lives. there
viii be solid South, separate and
instinct from the rest of the whole
VI rid he declared.

N.A.A.C.P THROWS
MORE Light ON RECENT
FLORIDA OUTRAGES
Especial to The Tribune)

NEW YORK, April PA letter to
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People quotes
the Rev. o. H. Edinburgh, survivor
of the recent burnings and mob out
breaks in Florida, as saying that a
number of towns were burned and
that the burning lasted for a day and
half, educated Negroes being the
heaviest sufferers from the mob
Rev Edinburgh is quoted in part as
follows:
Stanley Town, a town of more
than one thousand Colored inhabi-
tants. with only one white man who
lived with a Colored wife, was total
ly destroyed with the exception OF
the Post Office. and everybody ex-
cept those who escaped were killed
Here the Negroes owned stores. banks
and everything. just as any other
town
"In these towns, every preacher
was whipped, being accused of influ-
encing his people along lines differ
ent from what the white people
thought wasn't best for Colored peo-
pie to aspire and know-instilling
them with new ideas along education
al lines and educational conditions
and unity-saying that they were
growing naughty and rebellious.
I'm one town they whipped the
presiding elder, VIII Burton, by tying
his hands and tying him to a tree
that he had planted in his yard and
which had grown up to be a large
tree, three men whipping him with a
black snake whip until the whip gave
out. Elder Burton was rushed to a
hospital in Atlanta. The white peo-
pie were running the Colored people
out Of this place, and Elder Burton
asked the governor for a state militia
for protection of the Negro. So
they heard of 1t and came to his
AOupO dAu dohOu MS WIG lOI ulAl,
but were told that he had not re-
turned home. They made several sim
liar visits before he came, telling his
wife their intention, and assuring her
they were not going to bother her
nor anything she possessed, but only
wanted Burton. When he came home
the white people did as above de.
scribed.
Elder Burton was said to be
worth more than $55,0OO and had
been married to this young wife
about year, and had just bought
her one of the most beautiful homes
from some white man in the city
paying cash for it; and few weeks
prior to this time had presented his
wife with a beautiful thousand dol.
lar car, paying cash for it. But they
did not bother anything but Elder
VIII Burton, who survived enough to
be taken to Atlanta after a black
snake whip was used upon his back.
when the white people were busy
trying to run the Negro away, some
tried to make preparation to leave
but were prohibited during the mob
and conflagration by day and the
Night Riders by night"
