Itcoord that Booker T. Washington was
atthoWhito llou90 for scvor&l hours
Monday evoning in oonferenoo with
President ltoosovolt. Washington
oame by invitation, as the PresP'ont
wishod to consult hiui with regard to
his Southern policy. It was a curious
oiroumstanoo that tho man who had
boon invited to tho national carit*! fnr
a oonforeneo with tho President of tno
United States thought it necessary to
go to ft cheap "nigger" hotel in an un
savory part of the city. Ry oxpoii
onoo Washington had learned that tho
regular hotels of this oity would n^t
mako him weloomo.
Prosiuoiit Roosevelt is ea d by Washington
to bo very much in earnest ia
tho desire to find soino satisfactory aolution
to what ia known a3 tho Houthem
political problem, la this Wash
iugton's statement ooinoidta with the
best infomiation whioh moml.ors of tho
cabinet and otters have had no to the
attitudo of mind in which tho now
Presidont takes hold of that part of 1 is
work portaining to tho future political
status of tho South.
Prosidont Roosevelt is by no means
satisfied to lot matters drift along as
ihoy havo boon going, and a new dc
parluro is expected by thobc who havo

now departure, iu a word, means a cut
tingloGBO from tho old lines aud ilio
appointment of tho bent men to fcdoral
offices throughout tho South, evon if
they prove to bo Democrats.
Somo months ago the thon V'ioo Rres
idont Roosevelt had a long calk with
Bookor T. Washington in Now York.
Col. lloosovolt afck' d Waehington what,
in his opinion, Bhould bo done to improvo
tho outlook for tho party in that
section and to got it out oi tho clutches
of tho professional politicians and of
fioe hucksters who have so long ruled it.
Col. ltoosovelt wanted to know what
was best for tho party and best for tho
nogro.
Booker Washington's reply w?s that
the best policy that oculd bo adoptod
by tho party loaders at iho national
capital was to "turn down" tho old
gangs and to appoint highly rcepco'able
whito men to the fcdoral offiooR?white
men who held tho oonfidouoo of thoir
> neighbors and tho public in goneral;
* that suchappointmonts should bo in&do
without muoh regard to party lines;
that if the man a community wantod
for collector or postmaster happonod to
be a Democrat, that faot should bo no
bar to his selection.
"If you want to build up tho Republican
party in tho South and mako of it
something besides a byword and ro
proaoh," said Washington, "you must
broaden it out; you must get tho bettor
element oi too whites in it. That is
best for tho party and for tho public
eorvico. It is also best for the negro."
Tho leador of tho colored raoo in tho
South went on to oxplain that at the
present time and for many years past
the llopublioan party in most of tho
Southern Statos has consisted simply of
two rival gangs of professional leaders
and offioo traders. Thoy claim to bo
able to doliver tho negro voto and to
fix up all tho dologations to tho nation
al conventions. The only energy they
display is in their rivalry as to whioh
gang shall oontrol and enjoy tho emoluments.
As a rulo ono is about as disreputablo
as the other. Noither represents
tho ptoplo of ihe South. Both
are obnoxious to public opinion. Thoy
do nothing for the negro Doyond giving
out a few minor jobs here and there.
Thoy do nothing for tho education or
uplifting cf the raoo, and by disgusting
the whites with their rotten borough
rule in federal affairs, mako it impossiblo
for tho party to whioh tho negro
belongs to have any roal voioo in publio
affairs.
Washington explainod that ho voiced
those views to Col. Koosovoit, not a9 a
politioian, as ho was not a politioian
and never expootcd to bo, but because
he had a moot earnest desire to see a
better stale of things throughout tho
South than that whioh now provails.
Uol. Kossevelt was so muoh impressod
by what Washington told him that
ho arranged for a visit to Alabama noxt
November. He was going to Tuskogeo
to see the famous institute, and he intended
to look into tho sooial and politioal
oondition in tho Sou h for him1
self. Of oourso, tho death of President
MoKinley changed all these plans,
But Mr. Koosevclt did not forgot the
subjoot, and asked Washington to
oome to this oity for a oonforcnoe.
Henoe the visit of tho leader of tho
negro race in Amerioa to theexooutivo
mansion this evening.
It is known that for a year or so
Prosident MoKinley had boon making
* inquiries as to the situation of tho patty
t in the South and had virtually deter[
mined to make efforts to refotm it. He
was at least prepared to do what he
could. But ho was handicapped by
oertain political considerations. Praotioal
politios had enabled his frier di to
secure many of the delegations from
the Southern States at the St. Louis
convention of 1896. In this way some
obligations had been inourred, and these
oould not bo ruthlessly disregarded.
I
HI
Within tho limitations which inovitably
turrounded him Mr. MoKiolcy did the
best ho could, and there is no doubt
that, had bo lived, a oooBidorablo improvement
might havo boon oxpooted
in some parts of tho South.
President Koosovclt is not bound by
any obligations. Ho is almost iroohaudod.
Already ho has tho sympathy
and oonfldonoe of tho Southorn pooplo
to a marked degree, and his fiionds represent
him as being very muoh in oarn<st
in his wish to instituto a now polioy.
If ho xiheros to his idoalB and
follows his instincts, ho will oomplotoly
ignoio all tho old-timo party leadors,
tho men who havo bocn fixing up dalegations
aud peddling out offices for
many years. Ilo will try to win tho
allegiauoo of a now olass of inon, Republicans,
if they can bo found of proper
quality, and if not, thou Democrats,

polioy, every ono in Washiogtou will
watoh with jroat eagerness to s o how
fir ho carries it and with what euoocBS.
His admirers prediot that ho will push
it through, and in tiino i fleet a political
revolution in tho South. Others
not so sanguino wonder if tho near ap
proaoh of tho political oauapaign of
11)04 with throats of advrrso delegations
to tho national convention chosen by
the discarded leaders will bring about
a change of polioy, if not of heart.

tho Gsontimcnt ot the people is not

But what was this spoaker doing at a
MoKinloy memorial mooting? Was tho
gathtricg oallod to revilo tho memory
of tho deajl President? If not, it is astonishing
that the speaker was allowed
to express such sontimonts as ho gave

Declared Unconstitutional by

A Matter That Suprems Couit

KrnoBt Gary doolnros (hat in his opinion
tho :. jta of 1900 and of 1901 relating
to tho drawiug of jurios aro in oontravontion
of artiolo 3 sootion 34 of
tho constitution of 1895. Tho oaso
will bo oarriod to tho Bupromo court,
and if Judgo Gary in sustained, tho
l?:~i-i?. 11 ? t j i

"Special legislation" is tho gound
upon whioh tho acts wore declared unconstitutional.
The oonstitutiondipeoi
fioallf forbids tho logisla'wro tc# pass
spooial laws relating to our'ain subjects,
and iu i iio case of csun?y officers'
salaries, otc , tho courts have already
j doorocd that tho legist*'ure hgjd en
aotod special legislation for tho ffovornl
counties. The dcoreo of Judge Gary
in tho oaso of the jury laws iH calculated-to
diroot tho attontion of the law
makers to tho neoossity of avoiding
this danger.
Tho tight upon the constitutionality
of the law was mado hy Seuator W. N.
Graydon of Abbeville. lie waso^uosel
for tho defense in tho oaso of tho State
against. Wilson, in Cherokee eounty.
Wileou was otiarged with murder, and
tho crso was tho first on tho dce^cot
when tho court was opened at Gaffuoy
last Monday. Senator Graydon moved
to quash the indiotmeni on tho ground
tha>, tho jury had not boon properly
drawn.
Ho deolarod that tho law under whioh
this jury was drawn is in violation of
article J, sootion.'M of tho constitution.
This artiolo states: 1 Tho goneral assembly
of this Stato shall not enact
local or special laws concerning any of
tho following suljocts, or for any of
tho following purposos, to wit": (Then
aro onumoratod thirtoon subjects for
whioh spooial legislation oannot bo onaotod,
and among thoso is "to summon

NUVt fK* w??v* OU\4 J' U V1 V j UI IUD
and "id alt c*aon whero n gonoral law
oan bo rnado applicable, no i pooial law
shall bo onactod."
Judge Gary sustainod tho onntontion
made by rfenitor GraydoD, and tho in
diotineut was rjuashod. This practically
nullified tho validity of all jurios
drawn in that oounty for this term of
oourt, although sovoral eases wero
hoard by oonsont of both sides that no
objeotiiu to tho validity of tho jurios
would bo mado. Solicitor Henry gave
notioo thav he would tako tho Wilson
oaso to tho supreme court.
Senator Graydon was iu tho o'.ty
Thursday night. Ho said that the roa
son tho jurv aot, of 1900 is special legislation
jn b'.causo it pomits ono oouoty
to have ono way of drawing a jury, and
an adjoining oounty might havo an ontiroly
difforont way. Charloston has a
system of its own. In some oonntios
the jury eommissionors draw tho
jurors, and in othor oonntios tho oounty
commissioners aro ompoworod to do
tLis. Not only is it unconstitutional,
bnt it is wrong, abates Senator Graydon,
for tho roajen that in oasos of
ohange of venue, or in oases whcro a
r>?rtv has nronertv intarest in snveral
counties tho different methods of drawing
juries ere confusing And perhaps do
not guarantoo the samo rights and offor
tho samo protection. It is oonfusing
to the judges ihc/usolvosto havo differ
cnt provisions ('or ..ho sovora! counties.
Senator Graydon says ne oan see why
thore might havo boon some excuse ior
trying to inako tho salaries of county
officers oont'orm to (ho nocossi^ios and
rosouroos of a county, but thore sooim
to be no reason why there should bo a
genoral jury law, and bat ono.
Tho aot of 1901 merely vahdatos tho
juries drawn under the act of 1900.
Sinator Graydon oontonds that whilo
tho latter aot may validate tho former
statute so far ai maoouraoies are oonoirncd,
it oannot make tho jury law
constitutional.
It is caid that this question was
broaohod earlier in tho year, and that
tho trial jadgo stated that he himself
doubted tho validity of tho aots in
question, but ho would not at that time
assume the responsibility of passing
up jo so gravo a matter, for it might
affoot and ovon inierfero with trials by
jury in every oounty in tho State for
*no rest of the year.

The Prosidont gavo him to understand
that ho intended to pursuo tho

ho rogardod himself as tho Prosidont of
tho South as muoh as of tho North, and
that in making appointments to oftioo

would bo paid to tho section of tho

or eo to tho issuos of tho oivil, war, and
without taking any position as to tho
proprioty of tho oourso of oithor tho
South or tho North, Mr. Uoosovolt lot
it bo plainly understood that ho was not
a "sectional" Prosidont in any senso of
tho word, and that tho fact that a man
was from tho South would not oporate
against him any moro than tho faot
that ho was from tho North would be
oonsidorod as in his favor.

Htriking proof is the extraordinary development
of tho business of writting

of the old )st and euooessful sohools of
