TIRED OF NEGRO
Taft and the Republican Party Said to be
Ready to Desert Hitn.
* THEY NEED THE SOUTH
To Help Them Hold up and Koh
the Masses for the Classes, ami
Are Willing to liribe I s to Join
Their Jjfand of Buccaneers and
Plunderers.
A dispatch from Washington t<
f The News and Courier says persons
close to the administration regard
the statement made hero by Senator
Cullom, of Illinois, that the elimination
of negro in the South would
moan the immediate control of that
section by the Republican party as
being the real sentiment of the
President on this subject. The Illinois
Senator is close to Mr. Taft.
In fact, he is one of the President's
I" valued counsellors and political advisors.
The fact that he rarely ever
apj>ear8 In print and has littlo to
say on public matters, leads to the
belief here that his statement indicates
the real mind of the President
sinco the iatter's tour of the
country.
"Eliminate the negro from polities
in the South?give that section of the j
country an exclusively v. hitbailor, I
or a francaisement which shall mean
absolute and unequivocal white supremacy
in the management of its
whole affairs and there is not a
j State below the Mason and Dixon's
line which will not be found in the
Republican column of the electoral
college," Senator Cullom said. "The
whole truth of the situation, " lie.
continued, "is thut the South be- J
lieves in and really needs the enforcement
of the Republican doctrine
of a protective tariff. Therefore, tlu?'
people of that section would like I
u/vfo in hr?hnlf of candidates?Con- '
vv ? vvv ? ? - " ?
gressional, national and State?who
would support such a policy. Hut
they are held in leash, so to speak,
by the fear of negro domination; the
fear of colored men in otllce, both
of the elective class and those appointed
at Washington. They are
afraid of the race issue; there can
be no doubt that they are constantly
:ln a state of excitement over the
prospect of a colored vote of superior
numbers, and naturally they cling
together against the black man as J
a matter of protection, not of their
industrial interests, but of their per- j
sonal affairs. | <
1 "But I am satisfied." continued j
Senator Cullom, "that if the negro
were not a factor in politics in the
f South, there wouldn't be a State in
that section which would not be in
line with our party, and which would
not support our candidates and their !
principles. Take a State like Ala- I
bama, for instance. There is a com- s
munity which possesses vast coal, !
iron and other industries demanding 1
a protective tariff. With her rank <

How can you blame communities lik**
1 South Carolina and Mississippi, for
instance, for voting the Dcinocrath
ticket when in some sections the
proportion of colored population is
ton blacks to one white? It is In
(>>iiun unities likes these that the
white people are afraid.
"Now, mind you," Mr. C'ulloni
went on, "I do not necessarily mean
that 1 favor the total disfranchisetnent.
of the negro. In Illinois, for
instance, we have a large negro vote,
iust as Ohio. Indiana, New Jersey
and New York have. Hut up In these
communities it is a different proposition.
There appears to l>e a distinction
somewhere between the two
-eotions in this .respect, and the
Northern colored man uses his ballot
with wisdom and fairness. We
are satisfied with hint, but it is notorious,
of course, that the South
is not. And if it were not for this
colored ballot in the South, the .Mason
and Dixon line would be wiped
out of existance ??.- far as politics
is concerned. The Democratic party,
or what is left of it. would then
be in a sorry plight, if indeed there '
would remain any Democratic party
to be In any sort of plight.
"Of course, the President doesn't '
intend to surrender any principle, I
but at tin- same time lie is willing i
to make concessions to the Southern 1
people commensurate with any fair 1
sense of justice. And likewise does 1
he intend to eradicate the Mason and
Dixon line. In my oi>inion, ho is just I j
the man tor t lint task, and if he I
doesn't accomplish it to a certain i
cU'gree at least, 1 shall be sadly I
mistaken. That line must he wiped i

While her grief-strlekon mother ,
rul sisters tor the past two weeks
tave been making futile efforts to <
ocate pretty 17-year-old Lalla Vol!t
tier, the girl lured by promises of a
lucrative career in the glittering
glare of the footlights, has been traveling
through the South in company
with Nathan C. Hill, alias N. H.
Clark, a pseudo vaudeville artist.
Despite wires to every Southern
city of any importance the mother of
the young girl, Mrs. Virginia Yollmer,
of 301 Piedmont avenue, Atlanta,
On., could find not truce of her
11iiti 1 Tuesday night, when she received
a wire from William J. KrAing
treasurer of the I.yrlc theatre
in New Orltans, who stated thai the
girl was in the care of his wife in
mat city.
Miss Lula Vollnn-r, an older sister
of t ho girl, Immediately made arrangements
to bring her back to her
mother, and on Wednesday morning
she left lor New Orleans for that purpose.
According to dispatches received in
Atlanta, Miss Yollmer was taken into
custody by the New Orleans police
at the request of Chief Jennings of
Atlanta, who was acting with the
mother in an attempt to locale the
girl. She was not held in the police
station, however, but given over
to the care of Mr. ICrwiu, who had
previously received a letter from her
sister asking that he attempt to locate
her. She will remain with Mrs.
lCrwin until her sister can bring her
hack to Atlanta.
According to the story said to have
been told the police in New Orleans
by Miss Volltner, she had first met
Clark or Hill through an advertisement
in a local paper, in which he
stated that he wanted a. young girl
to take a part in a vaudeville performance.
Miss Yollmer answered
the ad, it is said .and Clark immediately
called on her at ? 1 2 Peters
building, where she was working as
a bookkeeper.
Clark mailK' glittering offers. It
is said, saying that he needed a partner
in the vaudeville sketch in which
he was booked at a number of well
known houses. He offered the girl
$4 0 a week, it is claimed.
Fearing that parental objection
would thwart her cherished ambition
to go before the footlights, without
raying that site was leaving her regu
utr worn, .w iss \oumer met nark at
:he Terminal station, so sin* says, to
leave for her llrst engagement.
Aecoriling to the dispatch, Clark
;avo the girl drugged coca-cola, and
hen took Iter to a hotel, where they
egistered as man and wife. After
hat they traveled under different
lames, stopping at a number of rites
en route to New Orleans. They
-vere often in financial straits, it is
illeged, and Clark is said to have ,
ittempted to cash a number of
becks as well prevailing upon her
o sign a check for $10, using the
tame of .Miss N. Clark.
Their last stop was in Meridian,
diss., where, so the police are inormed,
on account of lack of funds,
'lark was forced to sleep in the park
chile Miss Vollnier registered at a
iotel as Miss Chirk.
On Monday it is said thoy scraned
ogether enough money to pay their
are# to New Orleans. There .Miss
'olliuer is said to have left Clark
11 an attempt to get work. She was
hen located by the police with the
as nit that she was given over to the
are of the Krwins.
.Mrs. Virginia Vollmer, the mother,
ho went to Atlanta two years ago
rom North Carolina, states that sh?
oes not l>elieve the report in full. p
"I.ula has been stage-struck for a
wo years," she said, "and I have '

resolutions, presented by Dr. J. Howell

Resolved, That this conference recognizes
the widespread existnnce of
pellagra in the t'nited States, and
urges upon the national government
the necessity of bringing its powerfu'
resources to boar upon the vital (|ueslions
of its cause, prevention and control.

"Resolved, That while sound corn
is in no way connected with pellagra,
evidences of the relation between the
use of spoiled corn and the prevalence
of pellagra seem so apparent
that we advise continued and systematic
study of the subject, and. in
the meantime we commend to corn
growers the great importance of fully
maturing corn upon the stalk before
cutting the same.
