ESTABLISH ED [865. , M CH 24, 190. - WK EK 8 .50A.'!EA GOV. HEYWARD ON CRUM. His Appointment An Indignity to Char leston and the State, But Was To Be Expected. . To the Editor of The Sunday News: Your telegram, asking my opinion on the reappointment of Dr. Urum as collectk>r of the port of Charleston, has just been received. As an appointment made by the Chief Magistrate of our nation, I consider this an indignity, not only upon the City of Charleston, but upon the entire State, and one which should receive the condemnation of every right thinking citizen of South Carolina and of the South. Dr. Crum is in no sense a repre sentative of the community in which he lives nor of this State. As a sup posed representative of the bnsiness interests of Charleston he cuts a ridi onions figure in the otlice to which President Roosevelt has labored so hard to appoint hitn. This is added to by the fact that a Republican Senate, a body of President Roose velt's own party, has twice refused to confirm his appointment. As to any supposed influence Dr. Crum may possess, it belongs to that very dear to President Roosevelt-a political opportunity, which is now the President's only door of hope to phcceed himself. This appointment should be con iodered as an indignity to South ' rolina. By it Pr'sident Roosevelt is clearly shown th at this action on is part is politicsltn othing but poli. ctios, and in making it he has do scended to a level of petty politics, which is degrading to the Chief Magistrate of a great nation. In this connection it is disap pointing to reflect that nothing else could be legitimately expeeteti, since the President has demonstrated more than once his very peculiar views upon this question. With !iooker T. Washington in the dual role of a Social Equal and a Political Prophet, indignity to a sovereign State should not be greatly wondered at, but should rather be expected. D. C.

Lightfoot Says Not Illiterate Black Men, But Those With a Little Learn ing Cause Mischief. (New York Times.) Discussing the race problem in the South, at the Fifth Avenue Hotel last night, J. H. Lightfoot, of Nashville, remarked: "There is no race question in the South of the character believed to exist by people in the North and East. If the world should last 10, 000,000 years the position of the no gro in the Southern States would relatively be the same as it is today. The colored people have always been the servants of the whites, and al ways will be, and no power on earth will ever be able to induce the whites to regard the blacks as their rqual. Rtesidents on your 5th avo fue don't take their domestics into their drawing rooms and treat. thom as members of their families. "As a matter of fact., negroes in the South are t.reated with more con sideration than white servants in the North, so long as they know their place and don't overstep it. There is very little trouble with the very large majority of the Southern no groes, especially with those who work on the plantations. They ar eared for when sick and are well housed and fed. I have two planta tions in Alabama and never have any trouble with the help. The illiterate negroes never cause mischief. It is the fellows with a little learning, proving that a little education is a :langerous thing. "President Roosevelt is making a very serious mistake in forcing no. roes into oflicial positions regardless f the protests of the whites. His ,ots only encourage negroes who are not. lacking in insolence. These lat ter go too far, and it is this class that frequently got their heads ,racked. "The war has been forgotten in the South, except in isolated cases. We have the country and the North has the money, which we welcome and use in efforts to build up the country. The Southern whites are not bothering about the negroes so long as the lat(or keep their propcr places, and that they will be com pellod to do. If there is any real )pposition to the nomination of President ltoofevelt next year, I boubt very mfuch that lie can get a singlo dele'gato front: a Southern state. RAINS AND FLOODS DO HARM.

[New and Courier.] The Governor has just returned to his "flice, having attended the fui. neral of his grandmother, who died I in Charleston a few days ago. Speak ing of a remark that had been made at the banquet in Charleston regard. ing his prospectivo candidacy for the I United States Senate, and which re. I mark ha( received some newspaper Comment, the governor was very em. c phatic in disclaiming any such in- I tentionl. His visit to Charleston was c entirely a social one, he said, and as r such it was enjoyed to the fullest. In closing the Governor added I that. he sincerely regretted that such c an absurd construct ion had been placed upon a remark that was noth. I ing more than a friendly message on v Ia social and friendly occasion. I CUBAN TiiATY RATIFIED. c Must Be Approved By Congress Before It Becomes Law.- -The South's Interest. After formally approving the Bacon t amendment, providing that the treaty t shall not, become effectivo until ap proved by the Congress, and after i adopting also another amendment c introduced by Senator Bacon, which I materially affects one of the .outh's t greatest, indust ries, the Senate Tll.urs day afternoon ratified the Cuban ro t ci proci: y treaty. As to final rat-ification, there never has been a doubt. since the commit tee of foreign afl'airs, upon the in < sistence of the Democrats, accepted 'j the first- ment ioned amendment. There was some doubt for a short while to-day, however, whether there would be i luorum of the Senate present, so many Reupublicans having left the city, but there were many mlore than enough Senators present on the final rot- d up, the treaty be ing ratified by ,+.e vote of 50 to 10. Of chief imp. lance to the South t was the acceptanco to the com. I littee, and the adoption by the c Senate, of an amendment which 1 Senator Bacon had been quietly. t pru,ing. This give to the coarser ' grades of cotton fabrics, which are a muade principally in the Southern c .t.ates, t h- same percentage of ad vanttag, which is given the the finer I grades of New England muanufacture. E In the orginal treaty ther was ia t 5 por1 cent. discrimination against a the coalrse's grades, as compared with a tho Ii nr grad ee. The lin er gradesi imi)ported into Cuba wore to be ac. corded a 30 per coait redu.'t ion of the e (lit is in the general Tariff Act of .r Cuba, while the coarser grades were t to be given~ but a 25 per cent redtuc tioni. Seniator Bacon and other i Southlern~ Sonators construed this ani uneal led for adv~anitageogi ven the liner graded of New ECngland miills, but p some of t he Newv Cngland Senatorsi seemed to think this was all right. 1 Senator 01Hacon insisted~(, however, and1(1 as5 his contenitioni was balcked by i other ~,idrthenrs, whlo stood witht himii, thle coimm))itto ia iallyI accep)ted I his amtendmsenit, and1( it was incorpor.i atedl inito thle t ready.
