torium yesterday afternoon adopted res
' olutions calling upon the- memberi - of

and for an act making lynching a cap

to the negro assembly, congratulaitng

ing it against entry into North Carolina
the rare upon its achievements, warn
politics, and nrging self -control
v . Rev. S. A. Howell, a banker and
, preacher of Newport News, 'preceded
" Governor Bickett. and declared that the
(rouble with the American negro is
that, he will not accept honest negro
leadership, .
6hame and fear instead of hatred, said
the speaker, is the attitude of some of
the white race in the face of the re
markable achievements of the negro in
the laat three , hundred years. Nine
tenth of the lynching!, he attributed
to the lower elements of both races.
Social equality, he maintained, is not
. the aim of the negro unless the aboli
tion of the Jim Crow ear, and the re
moval of the segregation line can be
termed social equality.
Hpeaking of the future, the negro min
ister declared that the time will come
when .white men will vop for negroes
and negroea will vote for white men
wot because they "are white or black,
but for the good of the common eouatry.
The speaker made an nrgont appeal
- far the cultivation of higher respect
on the part of the negro fgr the women
of the race. . Y
The resolutions presented bv A, E.
Burgess, Chsrlea H. Boyer. J. E. finm
nels, 1. ff. Wslker, C. E. Askew. J. E.
fairley, and W. 8. Turner, were pre
ssented by the last named. They were
nnt adopted: without discussion. Dr. A.
w. reguea. caned attention, to the fact
that the resolutions denonneing lyneh-1
ing faued to denounce the crime at thn
bottom of all lynching, and Bev. 8. 3S.
A'ass championed the suggestion. B'Jt
Prof. Turner, in defense of the resolu
tions as offered, maintained that it
ought to be taken for granted that the
negro , race and the committee which
framed the' resolutions waa opposed to
II crime. He, thought that the reso
lutions as offered were sufficiently clear
on. taif point.- . ,
Eternal Obedh&ee.
Governor Bickett attributed the nro
grees of the negro race to its good teach
ers, the Bout hera whites, and to its
own aotness.
"Eternal obedience i? the price of
jiie" waa a principle that the Governor
net forth and illustrated in the decline
of the Indian race and the growth of the
negro. The India that roamed at will
and covered the country three hundred
years ego.the Governor pointed out, re
fused to obey the law, declaring that he
was law unto himself, and now the
Indian is reduced to a mere handful
and the negro, throe hundred years ago
numerically in the same proportion, now
is numbered by millions.
"The .whole world is run bv law.1
said the Governor. 'The man or race.
biaeK or wane, that seta jtaelf against
the law of God, tho laws of health, the
laws of man, is simply courting self
destruction, for it will bo ground into
powder." . .. - j
Governor Bickett expressed his belief
lathe South as tho place for the negro,
and registered hi conviction 'that the
institution of slavery was permitted in
the Providence of God and abolished.
whea in the time of that providence,
the season waa right-for tho consum
mation of the divine purpose.
The Governor took occasion to refer
to his pardon, record and tha erltieiam
of that by a citizen of the State in a
letter to the News and Observer ia
which tho citizen, askedt "What does
Bickett wentr .
What Bickett Wants.
"Ill veil you what I want," said the
Governor; "I want to fulfill the re
quirement made by Lord God Almighty

does the Lord require of theef To do
justly, to love mercy, to walk hombly

That Defendant Had Bight to
Kill In Self Defense
Manaasas, Vs., Jan. 1. The ease of
W, C. Ball, prohibition inspector on
trial hore, charged with the murder of
Lawrence D. Hudson, an alleged boot
legger, last March, waa given to the
jury tonight Tho jury retired at 6:50
o'clock to deliberate on its verdict and
25 minutes later was locked up for the
night. . ' V ' ':.."-. .!,'
Judge F. 8. Tavenner, chief counsel
for the prosecution rested the ease by
calling for conviction of Bali for mur
der in the second degree. In his final
address to the jury, Judge Tavenner
charged that Hali with his deputies,
Harry F. Bweet, W. C. Dunleavy and J.
H. Sullivan, had killed Hudson, who had
offered no reeiatance, in order not to
leave any living r itness to the killing
of Hndson s companion, Baymond Shack
elford.
Attorney L. O. Wendenberg, for the
defense, made a sweeping denunciation
of "whiskey interests," which, ho de
elared had financed tho prosecution
through employment of additional coun
sel and asked the jury to send Hall
home to his family so that offieenkof the
law of Virginia might know and sec that
Virginians who have made laws would
back up the officers who enforced them;
He characterised Hndson and Shackel
ford as criminals and said Ball had act
ed only in self-defense.
Tho Jury was instructed that when an
officer of the law believed his life was
in danger and defended himself under
a bona fide impression of such, that he
should "not bo . held responsible, oven
of tho hilling of the resistant, although
an error of judgment as to what con
stituted danger to life had been made.
provided that any "Judicious" individual
would make such an error.- Tho jury
was further instructed that if tho jury
from tho evidence was eonvlnned that
Hall had acted in self defense ho should
be regarded aa acting within his right
which is accorded every eitlxen.
Short, final remarks also were made
to tha jury by Commonwealth's Attor

'Washington, Jan. 1. Intention of Re
publican Senators opposed to the League
of Nations, to request all Republican
Fresidcntialeandidates to place them
ernor Lowden, of Illinois, an aspirant
tor the Bepublican nomination.
Governor Lowden was asked ia say
whether he favored "any policy, alliance,
league or partnership" to "abnn
don onr traditional foreign policy and
enter into understandings and combina
tions which would embroil us in all
European conflicts and turmoils'. .
"Those for whom I speak," Senator
Borah said, "have no intension of con
fining these and similar questions to
yourself."
Wants No EntaagUag Alliances.
Senator Borah charged in his letter
that powerful Eurbpeaa and American
interests were co-operating to draw the
United States into European affairs,
through the League of Nations if pos
sible, and if not 'by secret and tacit
agreements.'' Declaring that the ques
tions and policies involved must come
before the next administration, regard
leas of America's ' entrance into the
league, tho Idaho Senator aaid the per
sonal views of. Presidential candidates
should be stated.
"For nearly a hundred and fifty
years," said tho Senator's letter; "we
have ia this country regardless of par
ties adhered to a distinct foreign policy

ships -with foreign powers aad ao in
terference by foreign powers in Ameri

your Inflaeneo and tho iafinoneo of your

words, that the time has come when
we should abandon this policy pf ao en
tangling alliances, so partnerships with
European powers, aad enter into alli
ances or understandings with European
powers.
WlU Come Before Administration
"I ask these questions because regard
leas of what" may or may not be in
.the platform the next 'administration
will have to meet this issue in different
ways. Powerful forees in this
country eo-oporatlng with equally pow
erful and persistent forces in Europe
are determined to draw the United
States into association and partnership
with Enropean powers, to embroil us
i nail European turmoils nnd conflicts,
to utilize our young men in policing
(he territories nnd fighting the racial
aad dynastio battles of the old world
and placing upon our tax payers the
burden of the financial and economic
life of both Europe and Asia, and these
forces will continue their efforts to
bring about these things after tha elec
tion. If they cannot do it in one way
they will do it in another. If they can
not succeed by 6 pen agreement they will
endeavor to suceeed by secret or tacit

therefore", that-wo -would like to know
what your views are upon this problem
and what it will bo your' purpose to do

Senator Borah said American opera-.
tlona in Russia were in violatioa of the
constitution and against tho wishes
f tho American people, but in further
ance of a secret agreement made -in
Versailles.
"This is but' an intimation, Mr.
Borah continued, "of what is to happen
should wo conclude to abandon our tra
ditional foreign policy aad enter into
understandings and combinations which
would embroil as ia all 'Enropean con
flicts and turmoils. Our young men

Successor, If .Chosen, Lies
Between i Hartness And
Haynes, Reports Say
The News and Observer Bureau,

(By special leased wire.
By R. E. POWELL.
Washington, Jan. 1. The office of
supervisor of revenue In North Carolina
from which Col. Aus". Watts resigned
several days ago, may be abolished and
all the revenue activity, concentrated
in Raleigh under Collector Ballsy,
- Such action is by no means a re
mote possibility. There has been suck
feelinc on the part of the North Caro
lina Senators since the, day Colonel
Watts telegraphed his resignation and
Commissioner Boper is said to- be in
dined to this solution of tho problem
created by the vacancy .which Colonel
Watts left. "
North Carolina, it is aro-ued. is one
of the few states in the country With
a supervisor of revenue. In the major!
ty of states, it is learned, the Revenue
work is entirely under the. direction
cf the collector aad in some, of these
States tho volume of the business is
larger than in North Carolina. ...
Two Alternatives Open. -
. Tho work that haa been done by
Colonel Watts and hla fores could either
be transferred to .Raleigh .under direc
tion of Collector' Bailey or could, be
added to the duties now being dis
charged by Col. Thomas H. Vanderford,
commissioner of prohibition. Either
way of handling it would relievo the
Senators of choosing between several
formidable candidates for the place and
cither would meet with the approval
of the bar. it is believed. i-
If the office is not abolished, tha
Senators must select a successor at an
early date. James A. Hsrtacss of Ire
dell, Sheriff Munly McDowell, of Mor-
gantoa; ox-Congressman B. n. Hackett,
of North Wilkeaboro, and Ex-Sheriff G.
H.' Haynes, of Surry, arc all applicants
for the place Colonel Watts gave up to
eater private business.
- Prlends of Sheriff Haynes, who Is nn-
derstoouf to bo the favorite with Com
missioner Boper and who has the per
sonal endorsement of Colonel Watts, say
that tho race lies between the Surry man
and James A. Hartness with tho chances
favoring tho sheriff. ' Hsskett, they
claim, is eliminated from the raoe be
cunse the two Senators would' hardly
agree on naming him even were other
reasons in bis fsvor. Sheriff McDowell,
say the Haynes supporters, ia, out of
tho running principally because he has
been out of harmony with the Overman
forces since Charles A, Webb, of Ashe-
ville, became United States Marshsl for
(he Western district. -v .
With the race between Hartness' and
Sheriff Haynes, the odds ore in favor
of the sheriff because he Is- more ac
ceptable to Commissioner Hoper aad en
dorsed by Col. Watts. A 'dark horse"
is not improbable, in ease the office is
not abolished ,and some one not men
tioned in the prospective list may. be
tendered tho plum. V .
