A REMEDY NEEDED.

Raleigh, n. c., July IA Chair
man Clarence Poe announces that
the program committee OF the
National Farmers Union has ask
ed local unions at their next meet
ings to discuss the great problem
of segregatiug the races in the
South's rural districts as is already
the policy in the towns.
Lit 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
adequate white social life. The
hope is to develop n public senti-
ment which will require negroes
to buy land in communities to
themselves instead of break ing up
white communities by indiscrimi-
nately sandwitching 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 possible in neighbour
hoods of their own. For example,
fifty negro families and fifty white
families together in district can
have only half as good schools for
either race as they could have il
all the families were of one race;
and with regard to churches, CO.
operative societies, libraries and
social meetings and all other agen.
cies of vital civilization the same
is true. To have half of the com.
munity composed of separate
race cuts in half all the socia
power and progress.
"The big fact we have to face il
that in thousands and thousands
of communities in the South, the
negro farmers are not only sub
jecting white farmers to more o.
less disastrous economic competi
ton by their lower standards o
living, but in many sections th'
growing numbers of negroes il
driving the white people to thu
towns for social reasons.
"When the white population il
community becomes too small O.
too scattered, when the white far
mer's wife and children find NOR,
negro neighbors than white neigh
bors around them, tremendous
motive is given for moving away
and if the farmer moves some ne
gro will probably buy his land a
sacrifice because other whit,
farmers have the same feeling ant
do not care to buy land in a pre-
dominantly negro community.

TECHNICALLY LETS
 PRISONER OFF EASY
Lee Davis Convicted on Four Gases but Commitment Failed 10 Speci- fy that Sentences Run
 COnSecutiVely.

Little Rock, Dee. H. Special. Under ruling by Attorney General W. l.. Moose. sentences imposed upon a man convicted of more than one crime, run concurrently, unless lhe judgment of tine court speciii- cally provides that they shall run conseculNely. The opinion is given to Penllentlary Commissioner J. V. Ferguson in the case of one Lee Davis, as follows:
 Prom the papers enclosed I find that Lee Davis was convicted and sentenced in four cases on the 18th day of November in the Crawford circuit court. Two of the cases were for burglary and two for grand larceny. The statutes pro- vide that the courts in such cases shall provide that the punishment in one ease shall not commence un- iii after the termination of it in the others. The commitments do not show that the punishment in one case is to begin after the expiration of the punishment in the others. So far as the commitments show. the sentences will run cOnCurrently. be- cause they do not specify that they are not to do so. In a case of eX parte, Brady 70 Ark. 376. the Su- preme court held where the circuit court did not direct that the impris- .Onment of one case should com mence after the termination of il in another, the imprisonment in all the eases might run cOncurrently, so that the prisoner would be en- titled to his discharge on the eX- piration of the longest term adiudg- ed against him.
 50. unless you receive some of flcial showing that these punish ments should not run cOncurrently, it will be your duty to discharge the prisoner on the expiration of the longest term of imprisonment awarded against him.
 Under this ruling. Davis will be released at the expiration of three years instead of eight years.

 Why did you come here tonight? she asked
 "Why-why-beca I wanted to dance," he answered

 ''Is that request?" he asked.
 If you regard it as such"
 Then l promise" he said softly. She thrust out her hand impulsively Presently, as the next dance began she arose.
 MT. Holton," she said. believe me sincerely when I say to you that must go now I promised father would leave at one o'clock. and yoC see now that it is after one"
 Holton got up with gesture of de precation. He had taken her hand and did not relinquish 1t, nor did she al tempt to draw it way.

 As he stood thus, someone touched him on the arm, and glancing about Holton was confronted by thick-se' man in evening dress.
 "A very charming girl, MT. Holton. observed the stranger.
 Holton flushed angrily.
 And who are you?" he asked blunt ly.
 My name is Harper" was the reply. "I happen to be in the Secret Service. By the way. do you know anything about the young woman with whom you were dancing?"
 Who? Miss La Tossa? Oh, yes. But Holton suddenly realized how lit- tie he did know.
 How we'll do you know Miss La Tossa?o t''e other asked suddenly "Oh. a mere acquaintance; recent. answered Holton
 Did you know that that young wom- an has been giving us more trouble than all the rest put together?
 Rest of what?" demanded Hoiton eagerly.
 Rest of the spies, of course.
 Holton thought moment and then there recurred to him the girls parting words: "If you ever hear anything concerning me now or in the future will you withhold judgment until you ask me about it and have me explain And he had promised. We'll, he woulo make good his word. He would havs her explain.
 He turned to the Secret Service man beside him.
