Teachers Examination

County School Commissioner r.
J. Prentiss has just finished the
school examination for the year.
There were about two dozen ap-
plicants and personnel Of those
standing the examination COM
pares favorably with the classes of
former years.
The meager salaries paid the
teachers seems to have no percept-
ible effect on the number of ap-
plicants.
Our county School Commission
er promisesthat the county schools
of Ben Hill shall be second to none
in the state. 1t is every good
citizens duty to hold up his hands
and give him a strong moral back
ing.
The teachers examination brot

SAYS NEGROES ARE
MOVING TOWARD GULF

A startling prophecy In regard 10
the ultimate settlement OF the race
problem in this country was made by
the Rev. John H Boyd in the First
Presbyterian church, Sunday. He dis
Germs a trend of the Negroes TO move
southwark and segregate themselves
into communities OF their own. and de-
duces from ;his future separation
in which they Will live by themselves
and develop their own civilization.
While the center OF Negro popula-
tioI is moving southwark toward the
gulf, he quotes figures 10 show that
the white population In certain south.
ern states is decreasing.
History argues DR. Boyd gives
no instance Of two races as unlike as
the Teutonlc and the West African.

to form a harmonizing people.
The white man OF the south has
formed the deep purpose never to
allow the Negro TO rule even In the
smallest way. The present situation IN
dicates that. in contact with the white.
the black man has no future in this
country"
AS DIR. Boyd sees II, the course Of
natural separation should operate
within so years to leave the blacks
IN possession and control OF most Of
the gulf states.
