ceived at the department of agr.
culture give the average condition of
the corn crop at 80, against 96 in Au-

WHITE WOMEN AND NEGRO NURSES.
In regard to the statement of DR..
Ramsey, just returned from Memphis,
that white women have to take negro
men for nurses or go without. and that
such negro nurses have taken advan.
tage of their helpless white victims, Mr.
Kerting, editor of the Memphis Appeal,
pronounces the statement utterly un-
true, and adds: "No man, white or
black, would be allowed to breathe
second breath after such a crime be.
came known. No such crime has been
committed, and white women have not
been reduced to the necessity of taking
negro men IOr nurses. The statement
is a libel upon the negroes in Memphis,
who have acted nobly as policemen and
soldiers"
