HATRED OF THE SOUTH IS
TURNED LOOSE
(Catawba News-Enterprise)
The Southern tSates are honorable
members of the Union, but have nev
er received any recognition at' the
hands of the Republican party. Dur
ing .the past eight years, since the
Democratic party has been in power,
our section has received proper rec
ognition where we have been entitled
to any rcognition. We have aked
for nothing but fair play, as we have
granted fair play to other sections of
the Union, but there is an intense
hatred of the South among Northern
Republicans, and the following ap
peal by Congressman Fess, Republi
can leader and chairman of the Re
publican congressional campaign
committee, shows th efight that is be
ing made on the South.
The very fact that the Republican
party throws down such a challenge
should cause every man and woman
in the South to take it up and keep:
the South "in the saddle" if it will j
continue such prosperity as was nev-1
er know nbefore. As soon as trie
great Republican party got control
of Congress things have begun to go
to pieces, and it looks like a great
idea to keep the hated crowd in for
a while longer:
A dispatch from Washington says
that, in a section appeal, Represent
ative Simeon D. Fess, chairman of
the Republican congressional cam
paign committee, has called upon the
North, East and West to prevent the
election of a Congress that will put
the "South again in the saddle" in
the Senate and House.
Representative Fess assails the
South as being politically the most
"reactionary" section of the country.
He then warns that the election of
Cox, which probably would carry
with it control of the Senate find
House, would mean that Southern
men will head all the important com
mittees in Congress.
Naming these committees, he as
serts that Democratic control of
Congress means that "Florida, Geor
gia, North Carolina, Alabama, Mis
sissippi, Oklahoma, Texas, Tennessee
and Virginia will control all legisla
tion in agriculture, appropriations,
foreign affairs, public buildings, riv
ers and harbors, roads, interstate and
foreign commerce, ways and means,
judiciary and the powerful commit
tee on rules.
In listing the important commit
tees of Congress Representative Fess
bitterly warns other sections that
Southern men now rank on practi
cally all of them. Democratic suc
cess would mean Democratic chair
men of such cormmittees, and he re
fers, among others, to these commit
tees and their prospective chairman:
Senate finance committee, Sim
mons of North Carolina; Senate ap
propriations committee, Overman of
North Carolina; Senate agriculture
committee, Smith of South Carolina;
Senate banking and currency com
mittee, Owen of Oklahoma; Senate
commerce committee, Fletcher of
Florida; Senate judiciary committee,
Culberson of Texas; Senate naval af
fairs committee, Swanson of Vir
ginia, and so on.
Reviewing the situation in the
House, Representative Fess finds it
equally-larming from the Republi
can and Northern viewpoint. He
finds: Kitchin of North Carolina
slated again to head the ways and
means committee; Pou of North Car
olina, rules committee; Bynrs of Ten
nessee, appropriations committee;
Lee of Georgia, agriculture commit
tee; Sears of Florida, education com
mtitee; Flood of Virginia, foreign
affairs committee; Uadgett of Ten
nessee, naval affairs committee; Har
dy of Texas, merchant marine com
mittee; Fields of Kentucky, military
affairs committee; Moon of Tennes
see, postoffices and post roads com
mittee; Clark of Florida, public build
ings and grounds committee. Other
committees showing Southern men
near the top are alarmingly cited by
the Republican campaign manager.
"The solidarity of the Southern
Democracy is not a healthful condi
tion either for the country or the
South," complains Representative
Fess, afte saying that Gov. Cox
needs to get only 67 votes from other
sections to add to the electoral vote
of the Solid South to win. "When
the Democrats are. in control section
al advantages are sought, as was
noted in this administration when
prices were fixed on wheat, wool and
copper, Northern and Western prod
ucts, and refused on .cotton, rice and
lumber, Southern products.
Referring again in sectional criti
cism of the South, Representative
Fess says: "Should the Democrats
-win the House and Senate, immedi
' ately all legislation would be placed
under the control and direction of
this section. Ia that case every item
productive capacity to nine-tenths of
the land in Harris county; yet there
is not an acre of land in Harris coun
ty five miles from the court house
that can be sold for as much as land
ten miles from the capital of North
Carolina can be sold for.
The peopl ewlio have wrought" such
a work are awake to every interest.
Asheville, with 28,000 population,
proposes to spend $20,000 on a re
union of the Thirtieth (overseas) di
vision, and an expenditure of ?40,
000 a year by her board of trade,
much of it for advertising, to bring
tourists enough to Asheville each sea
son to leave there more than $25,
000,000. It will pay Houston and all Texas
to study the example set bv tire Old
North State. '
IF
WM
of important legislation coming up in
the House would be completely con
trolled by nine States. Each of the
seventeen major House committees'
will be headed by a Southern man.
The same is true of eight of the elev
en expenditure committees and thrte
of the four election committees. Of
the major committees the State of
Tennessee alone will control the ap
propriations, naval legislations, post
ollice and insular affairs."
Congressman Fess was president
of th enegro college in Ohio for a
number of years.

NORTH CAROLINA AN EXAMPLE
(Houston Chronicle)
States, like inedividuals, can profit
by good examples, and North Caro
lina has set an example of intelligent
comprehension and efficient develop
ment and utilization of her material
resources which is worthy to be fol
lowed by Texas; indeed, by all her
sister states of the eSouth.
What she. has achieved cannot be
fully appreciated unless the histori
cal fact be kep tin mind that North
Carolina wa sravaged and desolated
bv the invading Northern army in
ISO").
She had no foundation to build on
except ruins. She faced gaunt, bit
ter, cruel poverty, and her distressing
condition was intensified by ten years
of oppressive political misrule, mark
ed by debasing corruption and con
scienceless plundering of the people.
Then her lands were not compar
able in fertility or extent to those of
Texas, the soil of which was never
touched by the foot of an invading
foe.
In view of such conditions it is
amazing that North Carolina should
have moved up from the twenty-second
to the fourth place in the value
of agricultural products among all
the states, and what is, if possible,
more wonderful, now stands second
in the value of textile products and
second in the production of tobacco.
Every intelligent Texan is obliged to
make, the humiliating confession that
Texas is woefully deficient in the
number of her manufacturing estab
lishments. In that respect North
Carolina leads the entire South.
The traveler is rarely out of sight
of a cotton mill, a yarn mill, a ve
neer mill or a furniture factory, or
a tobacco products factory.
Some counties have nearly a hun
dreM mills converting cotton into
yarn or cloth, and in Durham there
is one of the largest tobacco estab
lishments in the world, and there is
also an immense hosiery factory.
North Carolina spins and weaves
more cotton than she produces. Just
as in time of war she sent more of
her sons to the Confederate army
than there were voters in the State.
The waters of nearly every river
have been harnessed and made to
furnish light and power, often for
distances of fifty miles.
She has under one' roof the largest
furniture factory in the entire South
That there should be in one amall
county in Nroth Carolina more cot
ton mills than there are in all Texas
is a reproach to the people of this
State.
Ther eis not an acre of land in the
county in which the capital of North
Carolina stands that is comparable in
