EX SOUTH RESENTS W FAMINE REPORT f BYRNES CALLS FOR SOURCE OF INFORMATION President's Appeal for Red Cross Funds fos Southern Relief Misrepresents I , ^ Hugh W. Roberts in The State. Washington, July 28.?The South quivers under the declaration of the president that it is an impoverished country. ' The South, in other words, rebels. Representative James F. Byrnes of South Carolina demands this afternoon qf the president that authority for his statement "that a great section of our country that we are wont to think of as immune from such experiences, is actually menaced with famine and plague." Wfty aoes rresiaent naming uiua \ hold up* to the gaze of the world a section which has proved itself to be * able to take care of itself? TThe president has been imposed on, is the unanimoTjjs conclusion. The public health service which first sounded the warning is the "goat." Says Mr. Byrnes in his resolution presented this afternoon: ?\in./n<aea +Vv o nrflOO An .Tlllv TT iiCiCady V44 v 1921, published an alleged communication widespread by the president to Mr. Livingstan Farrand, president of the American Red Cross, containing among othe. things the following statements: 'Recent reports of a distressing condition among tne rurnl popula/ tion in a large section of the cotton belt are confirmed by a public state ment from the public health service. They indicate that due to the depressed cotton market many thousands of people are unable to sell their products for money ^herewith to obtain & necessary variety of wholesome food, and that there "is ??rave threat of an epidemic of pellagra. " 'It must bring a shock to the American people to realize that a great section of their own country which ih$y are wont to think of as immune from such experiences, \is actually menaced with famine and plague. For that is what it would ^e called if it should befall any other country and we may as well give it its right name.' "Therefore, be it res61ved that the president be hereby requested to report to the house of representatives for its information, if not incompatible with the public interest, all the facts within his knowledge, upon which he based the statements herein above set forth/' Southerners in congress declare that while pellagra might be on the increase, there is no famine in the ? South, and much less: is there starvation. - In the senate today, the declaration of the president was heartlessly scored. It was admitted there is pellagra. It was admitted there is "hard times" &Ut it was denied that there is starvation. It was declared, on the other V band, that the president spoke without authority when he pictured the South as a section which could not, in a monetary sense, care for itself. At the same time, there is no question but that pellagra increase its hold. The increase in the number of cases in Alabama is 600 per cent. The increase in Mississippi is almost as I r all Southern states > CAW) auu iii an vv*?v* ? ? ? , with the exception of Florida it is pronounced. But Southerners keen ly resent the declaration of the president that the South is prostrate and requires the assis* tance of the Red Cross or other i ' agents engaged in charitable dispensation. The resolution of Representative Byrnes will not prevail. The Republican majority know that the president, out of the bigness of his heart, [ t spoke too soon, and too unadvisedly, { ' but they do not intend for any resolution to put the president in the "hole." The State. Washington, July 28.?Regarding South Carolina as a unit* the president in his appeal for Red Cross funds made a grievous error. The following is a telegram from Gov. R. A. Cooper addressed to Representatve Byrnes: "There is possibly some increase in pellagra cases in this state.

Greenwood, July 28.?At noon to^ day -the police had no clue to the ' whereabouts of Jim Slappey, a negro, ^'who was taken from the city jail at ^ 1 o'clock this morning'by unidentified ^er men. Slappey was lodged in jail .Tuesday night on a charge of peeping I in a window of a home on Phoenix 1 street. o cr_ . "to I ure | The key to the jail was taken from jits locker in the city hall, a fire axe ie(j' being used to pry open the locker, and I the jail door unlocked. When SlapbiaW was removed, the door was again jer | locked and the key put back in its [er> place. The police believe the negro jwas given a whipping by the mob and ent i ordered to leave town. So quiet were )hn :*hey that not even the firemen, asleep iin their quarters over the city hall, s;t_ I were awakened. i The discovery of Slappey's absence ille' was not made until the jail was opnry!ened for the cook to give the prisonjers breakfast this morning at 6 ime ,o'clock. Prisoners declared that at .at;l o'clock two white men, apparently N. jmere boys, had opened the door and | told Slappey to get up and put on his nn_! Hothes. Thev then tied his hands be : ? hind his back with a rope and marchson ed him through the corridor of city ns-;hall and down Main street for a few i paces, where he was carried away in re--an automobile, two other automobiles following. Assistant Chief of Police ton M. A. Corley, who is on duty in his md office at the city hall at that hour, had gone on a tour of inspection, and the ^ri- delivery of the prisoner occurred while he was away.

About the same time, h^lf a dozen Southern senators presented in the* senate denials of reports of a pellagra peril in their states. All read telegrams or newspaper statements declaring that no shortage of food such as necessary to bring about a pellagra epidemic existed in the South. They also denied that there were an abnormal number of cases ,UJ. yKim&LjA .UUS.AU'UiUCl _iJ4. UU.G JJUU?USurgeon General Cumming issued ,, the invitations for the Washington conference after presenting a report to President Harding in response to the president's request mada Monday for a survey of the situation as found by the public health service and the Red Cross. The president in his talk with Cumming today is understood to have called the attention of the surgeon general to statements by health officer's in the Southern states challenging the authenticity of the public health service reports. Dr. Cumming in reply told the president the reports were based on a careful investigation conducted by the health service and on telegraphic reports from state health officers. These two sources, Dr. Cumming told the president, showed the increase in pellagra cases and conditions told noted by the public health service in its statements. Representative Byrnes said he would endeavor to call his resolutions up for consideration within the next few days. The jesolution quotes from the letter sent by the president to Dr. Liv ingston Farrand, president of the American Red Cross, to the efflect that reports "indicate that due to the depressed cotton market many thousands of people are unable to selh their one product for money wherewith to obtain a necessary variety of wholesome food, and that there is grave threat of an epidemic of pellagra." Mr. Byrnes said, in commenting on his resolution that reports from the health authorities in the South failed to show any such "alarming conditions" as were laicl be/oiv the president and that there was a general desire ^to know how the information on which the president acted was obtained and from whom. Protests from officials of Florida and Georgia concerning reports of the spread of pellagra in the South were read also in the house. The secretary of the governor of Florida in a telegram to Representative Sears of Florida safd there was "neither pestilence nor famine in Florida nor any semblance of either." The Georgia health commissioner in a telegram to Representative Wright of Georgia said that :ae repurts he has received from all sections of the state indicated there was no increase in the cases and many instances showed a decreased number of cases ana aeatns.
