vote its required majority of three
fourths for union with the northern

member Of the joint commission.
Voting in the conferences of the
two branches Of the churches is prac-

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE'S MES
SAGE AND THE NEGRO

President Coolidge tells the story Of
the Negro for sixty years and describes
his part in all Of the arts Of civilization
and Of his loyalty to the country He
speaks Of the need Of sympathy and
kindness; he further states that they
should be protected from all violence,
and should enjoy the fruits of his labor
Those who do violence to them should
be punished for the crime, no other
course Of action is worthy Of the
American people"
He states further that the Negro
represents one tenth Of the population
Of the nation and it is the intent of the
law as prescribed in each and every
paragraph in spirit and in letter that
the law is intended to be enforced. The
beautiful words in reasoning out the
intent and purpose Of the law have
been used SO often that they read al
most like the perfect book of Biblical
history-the book Of Job, but what the
one-tenth of the nation described in
the message want to know, Mr. Presi-
dent, is why the moss-covered amend
ments, 18th 18th and 18th, have not
been given the same financial susie
nance as has been given to the 18th
amendment. when they spend millions
of dollars trying to discover whether
some fellow has a half pint Of liquor
in his house or some hypocritical quasi
prohibition reports that his next door
neighbor is making a little home slim
ulant to take on cold night or enjoy
birthday as has been the custom since
the beginning of time.
If the members Of the appropriation
committee will take the president at
his word, they will make a sufficient
appropriation to give to the most val
liable American, the Negro, financial
backing for his protection. The words
of these messages go into history and
are soon forgotten, but an appropria-
ton will make them better understand
that an enforcement of the law is in
tended

SOUTH CAROLINA CRACKER
BERATES LINCOLN
preston News Service)


Spartansburg, S. O.. Dec. 1O.-Abra-
ham Lincoln's emancipation procla-
nation was designed to encourage
Negroes to attack southern homes and
thus force confederate soldiers to
leave the army and return home to
protect their loved ones, Mrs. St. John
A. Lawton, Of Charleston, president
general Of the United Daughters Of
Confederacy, said in an address here
last Thursday night before the state
organization Of the order.
Il dislike to hear Lincoln spoken Of
as the great emancipation and humani-
tartan. Lincoln had no thought Of
kindness when he signed that famous
document The object Of that paper
was to have the Negroes rise up and
attack southern homes, 50 that the
soldiers in the confederate armies
would be compelled to return and pro
tect them. Is there anything humani-
tartan in that?"
BE it said to the everlasting credit
of the black race that history records
not one act Of violence following
Lincoln's proclamation.
There is a certain type Of north
ern individual to be seen in Pullman
cars and restaurants who expresses
loud and long, amazement over the
fact that we have not forgotten. He
insists upon showing how he and his
friends OF the North have absolutely
forgotten everything pertaining to the
war
The truth is, he has not forgotten
at all He has never known. The
intelligensia of the North has not for
gotten; the presidents Of northern
colleges have not forgotten; those who
occupy chairs Of history in northern
institutions Of learning have not for
gotten; writers for current magazines
have not forgotten. So why should
it be essential that we forget as soon
as we come across the Mason and
Dixon line.?"
Following close upon the declara-
ton Of Mrs Lawton that Lincoln's
act in freeing slaves was not dictated
BY kindness, James r. Brynes, for
mer representative in Congress from
South Carolina, asserted that the war
between the States was brought on BY
Lincoln's disregard of the Constitu-
ton.
Had the confederate government
succeeded in arms" Byrnes declared,
Lincoln would have been known to
posterity as man who regarded the
Constitution as a scrap Of paper and
who, in utter contempt of the deci-
sions Of the Supreme Court Of the
United States, violated the guaranteed
rights Of the sovereign States and
brought on a war exceeding in severity
all that had preceded it."

BUILDING WITHOUT
A FOUNDATION

Grandfather was a very religious
man, and in general took the Scrip
lures quite literally. l think how
ever, he must have missed the practi-
cal application of the story of the
man who built his house upon the
sands, for when fifty years ago he
constructed the old brick house which
stands on the hill east of town he
gave little attention to the founda-
tion.s The walls were of solid oak, but
the foundation was weak and badly
laid.
When / saw the old house last sum-
mer the walls were falling in, the
oak doors were sagging and the sills
upon which the house was built were
rotting, all because there had been
a poor foundation The house should
have stood a hundred years as solid
as the day upon which it was built
if the foundation had been adequate.
Peters was 80 years old or more
when he came to college, ard besides
he was married and had boy of his

"An export corporation should be
created with sufficiently broad pow

The congressman were then asked

old Knudson, sixth district; Walter

Senator Shipstead said he agreed
with the Farm Bureau members that
agriculture must be placed on an
equal level with industry and labor,
but he did not express himself as to
the method by which this end should
be accomplished.
Congressman Clague vehemently
supported the export corporation
idea.
