I St REPORTSARE SLANDERS His Speeches Contain No Re flection on South FX.GOV.GLENN HAKES DENIAL , Ex-Governor Gletin denies ab- ? solutely tire truth of the 'state ments made in telegrams ' sent -out from Cleaveland, Ohio, as to a speech he made, there in - whici he is quoted as reflecting upon V the South in its treatment of the negro. He declares that he be - heyes that slanders are being cir culated about him by some design ing persons with special interests , to sero that he loves ' the" South ; as did his father who was a Con federate soldier and that the state ments attributed to him are ab solutely false, made with the pur pose to injure and to discredit him. No one in North Carolina or the South who knows Robert B. Glenn ; would believe that he reflected upon or slandered the South, for 'his love for it is known, and those who know him require no statements from him that the re ports concerning his speech are . distorted rand warped. Those who do not know him maybe mis - led, arid feeling that a statement direct from ex-Governor Glenn as to what he did say might serve to set at rest the mischievous re ports, his attention was called to the reports sent out from Cleave land and to articles published in the .Tarboro Southerner the Even ing Times, the Ledger-Dispatch of Virginia, and other papers and i Mr- Glenn was asked concerning ? the truth of the reports as to what he said in regard to the ne gro, and in reply, in a letter to Mr. Edward E. Britton, of Ra leigh, he gave an emphatic deniai as follotys; r' v - ' In reply to the question as to whether I said in a public speech in Cleveland, Ohio, as re ported by some special correspon dents, that the South had failed in its duty to tfie negro, and that while the negro !population was a bout 40 per cent of the entire pop ulation, they only received 15 per cent of the school fund, I can on ly say that every word of such statement is absolutely false, made I believe by some designing person, who in the interest of some special parties was trying to break the force of my speech on moral lines, by appealing to prejudice and uttering false statements thus hoping to discre dit me. All the papers wherever I spoke had accounts of my spech es, and nothing likethe false re ports given by this special corres pondent appeared in any of their columns. ' 'This is what I said, and every word and utterance was a defense of the South: "Slavery, was introduced not only in the South but also in the North, but the North could not utilize their slaves on account of the climate and their being a . manufacturing people, so they sold them (did not free) to the South for a fair consideration. That afterwards they by force freed them, paying us nothing an d left them on our hands, to to protect and care for. 1 That we had done the best we could, that in North Carolina (and I thought the same was true in other Southern State) we gave them their pro rata part of the school fund we getting two thirds and they one-third, that be ing about their proportion of the population. "That the North was as much responsible as we, and therefore should do its part and could not point its finger at us and say we had failed in our duty, unless it first did its (duty in helping us properly care for them physically, mentally and morally.' "I then described the object of . the Durham school and took the ground that it was the only school . ' that properly educated the negro, tor here he has to be trained to work, to have to have his. mind improved, and, his morals ; butf up. , J then took the position tha the negro race could not rise high eir than its leader that Its leaders were in many instances reach ers unnt to lead ana , guiae, 1 ana so it was our duty and the duty of the 4 North to have.'. a?'place where suchvleaders cbiild be train ed: I then told that North Caro lina had given the land arid $30, 000 for this sehooi and' called on the; North to give us an equal ,-'a mount, , . ' " ; "In no speech did I utter" a word that could be coustrued in to a. reflection on either North Garolina . or the South. People have heard me speak from Maine to Texas, and from East to West and the burden of my story has been the defense of the South and its glorious people, and would as soon slander my own blood, .as to reflect- upon the greatest ; and best people the world ever knew, a people who both in war !and peace, always try to do their duty. My lather died defending the Souths and his son would not stander- the section :.- for which he gave his life, and dpubtles the writer of the vicious falshood; so gladly caught up by my former enemies was inspired or paid to do his work of falsehood by some one whose illegal interest had suf fered by my statement of truths. ' The people of North . Carolina know me. l.ao not iear tne lies the vicious hurl at me and they can't by false criticism stop me from doing what I deerii is right. Once more . I deny emphatically every word of this .so-called cum- munication." ' R. B. GLENN. Winston-Salem, June 14, 1910. oxaway Trains To Be Put On Sunday. Announcement was made yes terday by the Southern Railway that the sumnier schedule of the additional trains on the -Tox-away-Asheville-Waynesville line will be inaugurated next Sun day. These trains will be eq uipped with comfortable coaches and will handle pouch mail. The Toxaway-Waynesville trains are known as Nos. .5 and 6 and 7 and 8 and the following schedule will be maintained. Train No. 5 will leave Lake ToxawayIat 5 a. m.and arrive at Ashe viile at 9.05 ai m. Return ing train No. 6 will leave Ashe ville at 3.50 p. m., and arrive at Lake Toxaway at 7.25 p. . m. Trains No. 7- and 8 will operate between Toxaway and Waynes ville on the following schedule: Train No. 7 will leave Lake Tox away at 3 p. m., arriving at Asheville at 6.10 p. m. and Way nesville at 8 p. m. Returning No. 8 will leave Waynesville at 6.05 a. m., Asheville at 8.95 a.m. and arrive at Lake Toxaway at 11.30 a. m. It is expected that a number of teachers will ' take advantage of the excursion rate of $2.30 for the round trip and visit Lake Toxaway next Sunday. The question of securing street lights Irom the electric plant of North Wilkesboro is, we understand, being discussed by several of our people, and the matter will prdpably be present ed to the town commissioners for consideration. This town is badly in need of lights, and to supply them for the North Wilkes boro electric plant would proba blpibe the easiest - and doubtless and economical - solution. North Wilkesboro has or could produce a sufficient surplus' to supply this town and would daubtless enter into a, contract to do so. v Two large cranes - were killed along the river between the two towns the first of the week; Both of them measured more than 6 feet from tip to tip, and more than 5 feet from bill to toe.

The measure, was called; up by Senator . Beveridge, chairman of the committee on territories and was1 -passed after., speeches, by Senators Beveridge,- Frazier, Nel son, Hughes andSmoot.

A SOLID VOTE, When1 vote .was reached ' there was "a "division on the Senate sib-- stitute for . the House bill, but with that amendment accepted, the Senate voted solidly for the passage of the bill The Senate substitute was adopted as an : a mendment to the House measure by a strictly "party vote, the bal- ot standing 42 to 19 As passed the bill provides for the admission as states of the two territories, but not unil af ter a constitution hadvbeen adopt ed by each of them, approved by the President and Gratified by Congress. Much ; apprehension , has been felt that the bill wquld tie up in conference with the.rHouse, butj during to-day's session mucKwasi &al -Wipiitetjiaif ear, Senator Nelsot, 6y " Minnesota, declared he wOulpo all he could to bring about an agreement with tne nouse aunng tne present ses- . . sion. ; ' s- . 'T'll dc -all that. T ran to brine- it about, ' t he said, . ' 'and I think we cari do it; we ought to dispose of the matter in two or three days." " . TOO HOT TO STAY LONG Senators Carter and Borah con curred in this view. "There are two reasons why we should reach an agreement, " said Mr. Borah, " one is that we won't go home till we get it, and the oth er is that it is getting too hot to stay here Idng." Saying that he would .prefer the Senate bill to no , statehood legislation, Senator Bailey declar ed that it would be some time before Congress adjourned if the conference committee did not report an agreement. Representative Hamilton, of Michigan, chairman of the House committee on Territories, said that he had no doubt now of the enactment oi tne statenooa Din into law at this session of Con gress, v . He has confidence that the House will adopt the conference report when made. Under the bill as amended by the Senate it might be two and a half years before the statehood would become operative and the House conferees want to shorten the time to the spring of 1911 - Speaking for the Democratic minority of the 1 committee on territories, Senator Frazier con tended that under all the requir ments both Arizona and New Mexico were prepared for state hood.' He said there was esttma mated td . be 12, 000, 000 tons of coal in New Mexico. ' : . ' "Wedmit infant States not full grown States and expect them togrow, " he said. Meas ured by the standard of area, of growths and' of wealth both Terri tories ere entitle to admission, he said, adding that it would be unjust further to withold the boon ' MEANS POUR DEMOCRATS "Are we to refuse to admit Arizona arid New Mexico because heir admission would mean four state oi uncertainty as tons laie.jf'eqiHreunuijjaL tup wusutuuon 'e td accept sv.ch & report, but " if it; wer Iru&he, would call mten--j.iiJl-ltii.v." .tJ' .t' ' r 1 canipmforni. - House biirirf reference :to the ISenatmeasirii' He found fault ajnar .lie comfinciea.aso that the r'.r - ; I U I 4-4-1 A.11 J.: i&oX'the twoysiites shall be submit- ;m tne OHSuuiiiuoujuj, i,ne unitea rotates givTnrongress power to iXUUUl OUi Li yippLLENElVS. ; .-?D .t ' There is ri( town or city in Orth CaroliBfif - that is growing iriofrapidly? hd steadier than Moville.y Only a' few weeks ago,'- the Lyoif-fbck, erected by W.; Carpejifer, J.

The main object Is to as certain whether this r service is really demahded'by -the people, and to what extent it will increase the revenue on the " rural routes. The benefit of . the -reduced rates is confined : to . parcels - mailed at the distributing' pbstoffice, or withm the .limits of ithe rural route. ,It has' been, estimated that if the carriers onach route carried ' ah - an . average of -55 pounds each day that this service if "generally - applied to the rural routes, w'puld: yield' an " increased revenue of fifteen million dollars. It may be interesting to state some facts -connected with the rural service taken from the la test Reports of the Postoffice De partment: Twelve years ago there were only Srural routes, while now there are more than: 41,000. The average number of pieces of mail hari died on each route per month is fifty-sixhundred, and : the average daily weight is 25 : pounds. ! The daily travel of the i carriers aggregates 985,000 miles,' There was expended for the main--tainance of thisi service during he last fiscal year thirty-six mil- ing during the entire session to have an experimental parcel post bill reported by the commit tee and adopted by the House. several weeks ago there were ex tended hearings, at which Triany persons presented arguments for or against the service. The Post office Committee of the House, of which Mr. Small is a member, "will meet tomorrow to consider this bill. i TEXT. OF THE MEASURE.

His body was terribly riiangled. . ' .. . The time is coming in the South when greater honor than ever will be bestowed upon those who lived and suffered during i these trying days of reconstruct ion,' Already the Daughters have united in an effort to strew flowers upon the graves of the dead and crown the brow of the living. The time is coining when the sons will follow their leader ship. They have already began to boast of their ancestry. A few years ago I heard of an incident that happened in a certain town in North Carolina that did my soul good. A dispute arose, be tween a Northerner and a South erner. At first the man from the North seemed anxious for a fight.. He evidently did riot know the ancestry of the man of the South so he hurled one threat after an other at him until suddenly he accused him of being a. Southern coward. - Then some .unknown spirit whispered into the . ear of this Southern gentleman and he turned and looked into, the face of the man whose father had fol lowed Sherman in his march through Georgia the face of the Southern gentleman reddened with anger, the muscles of-an athlete quivered in their might and he uttered Ihese Yords:, "If you repeat that word again to me r will put your life in th balance wheel; I wpuld have you under---stand, sir, that I am the soh of an unassuming Confederate sol dier." And 'tis needless for me to say that the words were never repeated. ; Why? Simply because that young man had been taught by his father that it took three Yankees to whip a South erner. But I will say this , that Southerner . was a son of ar Con federate soldier of Union county. ( Extract from speech of ' John CiSikes at Union, N.C.,JunelO, 1910.-- .
