Spencer : Blackburn for Congress in the Eighth* district by the handsome majority of about 1,000, was in Salisbury yester day. Mr. Hackett is not boasting of his victory, and in conversation with Edi tor John M. Julian, of the Post, said: "1 would rather have gone down in defeat by 3,000 majority than to have failed to get the endorsement of my home people, as I did, after the at tacks made upon me. Telegrams and 'phone messages of congratulation have poured in upon me, but nothing rejoiced me more than the expressions of good will from the women of my town and county." The fact that Mr. Blackburn has stated that he wotild contest the elec tion of Mr. Hackett has caused con siderable comment here by both Re publicans and Democrats, but in the face of such an overwhelming majority the statement is not taken seriously. Ex-Governor, now Senator Bob Tay lor, of Tennessee, is to lecture in the auditorium of the graded school next Wednesday night on "The Funny Side of Politics."

Fully one hundred Salisburians are in Charlotte today to attend the-cir cus. Among the number is Editor John M.

I THE IDLE NEGROES VS IMMIGRANTS This Class of Colored Race Militates Against the Com ing of Immigrants to the South, Gov. Heyward De livers Strong Address. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 12. —The fcecond annual session of the South ern Immigration and Quarantine Con ference was called to order today at the capitol. "fhe conference was or ganized a year ago at Chattanooga tnd it's efforts resulted indirectly in the enactment of better quarantine regulations by the -Federal govern ment. This year the necessity for quar antine is not as pressing as it was last fall. The reai purpose of the conference is to bring about a more equitable distribution of immigrants who reach the United States from foreign shores. The idle negro class causes some •vpprehension in the minds of the immigrants according to those be -1 eved to be well informed, and this operates against the South receiving it thinks is its proper share of laborers from abroad. Various plans are suggested for rid ding the South of the idle negroes and the question therefore was early injected into the discussion. Governor D. C. iieyward, of South Carolina, delivered the address in vhich h.e said the coming of immi gn#its to the South had a bearing i.pon the practical and direct solu tion of the race problem. There had leen too much theorizing. It was t'me for action, said he: "Without a precedent in the history of the world to be guided by, the nearly always misconstrued and mis understood people of the South have for forty years sought to reconcile differences, which were bound to arise, between two races living upon the soil. "The races differ widely In intelli gence and moral respectability, one being distinctly inferior to the other Only till a few years ago the inferior lace was in servitude to the su- I erior, and with no preparation what ever, was given equal civil and polit ical rights under the constitution. "Under such adverse circumstances no other people uron this earth could have succeeded as well as Southern people have done in meeting the ex isting conditions, and this fact alone should not only give us courage and hope for future, but should entitle us to the trust and confidence of the world.""

TELEPHONE CA'SE NEXT. Corporation Commission V*ill Make its Ruling Next Week. ' Raleigh, Nov. 10.—The Corporation Commission will, so it was stated in the office of the commisfion this morn ing, make its ruling probably on Thurs day of next week i nt.hecafseo day of next week in the case of Col. J. Bryon Grimes against the South ern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Co., irj which the demand m?.de that the rate for telephone charges in this state be fixed at $2 per month for business and sl, per month for resi dence stations and that the long dis tance tolls be limited to five cents per minute for first five minutes and two and one half cents per minute for all in excess of five minutes. The statement is made that the commis sion will make a rate but that it will not necessarily be the rate asked by Col. Grimes. In fact it is understood on the best authority that the rates will be higher than this and will not be iron clad, but allowing variations ac cording to local conditions in accor dance with the contentions made by the Bell company that a fixed rate to apply to all exchanges would be unfair to both the telephone companies and their patrons.
