sEGREGATING THE RACES.
A Problem to Be Considered Dy
National Farmers Union.

Raleigh, N C, July l4:-Chalrman
Clarence Poe announces that the
programme committee of the Ma
tional Farmers union has asked To-
cal unions at their next meetings to
discuss the problem of segregatlng
the races in the South's rural dis
tricts, as is already the policy in the
towns. II is asserted that thousands
of white farmers are being driven
from their homes by the growing
number of negro farmers around
them and the consequent lack of ad-
equate white social life. The hope
is to develop public sentiment which
will require negroes to buy land in
communities to themselves instead
of breaking up white communities by
indiscriminately sandwiching white
and negro farmers together. In dis
cussing the matter further, Mr. Poe
said:
For the good of both races, the
negroes should buy land and settle
as largely as possibly in neighbor-
hoods of their own. For example,
fifty negro families and fifty white
families together in a district can
have only half as good schools for
either race, and with regard to
churches, libraries, cooperative So
cieties, social meetings, and nearly
all other agencies of vital civilization
The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1913-07-17

the same thing is true. To have
half the community composed OF a
race cuts in half all the So
cial power for progress.
The big fact we have to face is
that in thousands and thousands of
communities in the South. the negro
farmers are not only subjecting the
white farmers to more or less disas-
trous economic competition by their
lower standards of living, but in
many sections the growing number
of negroes is driving the white peo-
pie to the towns for social reasons.
When the white population in a COM
munity becomes too small or too
scattered, when the white farmers
wife and children find more negro
neighbors than white nelghbors
around them, a tremendous motive
is given for moving away-and if
the farmer moves some negro will
probably buy his land at sacrifice
because other white farmers have the
same feeling and do not care to buy
land in a predominantly negro COM
munity. Such is the negro's fragrant
ly unfair advantage for driving white
people off the farms and taking the
rural South for himself. Public SEN
timent must find us a remedy"
