CAUSE FOR QUALIFICATION.

1t Is gratifying to note that the
disturbance over the occupation o!
houses in a white neighborhood o!
East End by negroes Is about to pass
of without disagreaable incidents OF
a serious nature. The white people
while they have made it apparent
that they do not propose to have the
"dead-line" ignored, have proceeded
conservatively. manifesting due re-
gard for the rights OF the negroes
On the other hand, the leading ne
groes OF the city have shown a dis
position to do everything In their
power to eliminate the present cause
for trouble and prevent any i'll feel!
ing between the races.
1t Is generally agreed that the ne
groes who moved their families
across the "dead.line" did SO with
no intention TO offend, and without
expecting to bring on a disturbance
Assurances have been given that
they will get out as soon as posi-
bic, hence there is no cause for feel
ing against them.
The negroes of the better class ID
negroes In Newport News have a.
ways conducted themselves properly
and are ever ready TO join in any
movement for the good OF the com
munity.
