North Carolina Medical Association
Holds Fine Session In Newborn.

in Newborn. which had the largest at
tendance and most interesting sessions
In its history, there was pronounced
enthusiasm when DR.. r. s. Hargraves
Of Wilson offered resolution to the
effect that the state association extend
an invitation to the National Medical
association to hold its annual session
for 1914 in the city of Raleigh.

passed and in every section of the
state members Of the various profess
sions and prominent citizens are mani
Testing such an interest in the move
ment that it Is already conceded that
IL the invitation is accepted the nation
al body will receive one Of the great
est receptions in its history.
DR.. Hargraves Is especially known
throughout the state for his ability and
civic pride. He is regarded as one of
the most progressive young men in the
profession and is highly esteemed by
all classes Of citizens Of both races
An attestation Of such a fact rs the
new Wilson hospital and tubercular
home, now in course Of erection.
This institution will meet a very
urgent need Of the race in this sec
ton. White citizens Of Wilson have
subscribed over $4,000 for the hospital
and farm. The hospital is centrally
located. and the farm is two miles
from the city. Some Of the leading
medical journals and the press have
highly commended this movement, CIV
en- birth in the fertile mind of DR..
Hargraves.
The president of the movement Is
one Of the most substantial and pro-
gressive Afro american citizens in the
country. Professor Wick is graduate
Of Lincoln university and has done
more for the procuring Of decent
homes for all classes Of Afro Ameri-
cans in this section Of the state than
any other Afro American in North Car
DINA. He is nationally known for his
broadness and philanthropic endeavOrs.
Professor Wick. who is capitalist, is
heartily in sympathy with the effort of
the Medico- pharmaceutical and Dental
associate to bring the National Med
ical association to Raleigh next year.

were most timely and were in large

city made the closing remarks, which
were full Of wisdom and common

Attorney Charles II. Hemans recently
sent to Representative William Schley
Howard, author Of the bill to separate
white and colored passengers on the
street cars in the District of Columbia.
which created such stir among Afro
Americans in Washington. is given
here as follows:
Hon. William Schley Howard, House Of

Sir-I noticed an article in the Washing

introduced in the house Of representatives

cars In the District Of Columbia. l heart
lily commend your attitude and endeavor,
but must say that your bill does not go
far enough. It should also contain a pro-
vision making 1t unlawful and punishable

served in white drug stores or other
stores. or to be treated by white physi-
clans, or. where their liberty or property
rights are involved. to be served by white
lawyers.

1t would serve the Intended purpose and
keep both races apart in every material
respect. l think that II segregation laws
are to be brought about by congressional
legislation for the District Of Columbia
they ought not to be half cooked affairs.
In all the heavy Negro states the laws
forbid intermarriage between the races,
and even where there is no statute law
public sentiment Is pronounced and I'M
mistakable.
There are about 100000 mulattoes in the
United States, which number is daily in
creasing by. reason Of the illicit inter-
course between white men and colored
women, to say nothing Of the 100000 or
more octoroons and quadroons who per-
haps have not clandestinely passed over
to the white race. If there were adequate
segregation laws we would not have to

Durham, N. C.-This city is again
an animated scene Occasioned by the
fourth annual summer school and Chau-
tauqua of the National Religious
Training school. AS great tobacco
center Durham Is known throughout
the country. Among Afro-Americans
1t is especially known because of one
Of the greatest economic movements
among them having been successfully
launched here-one Of the most sue
cessful movements among our people
anywhere In this country.
The North Carolina Mutual and
Provident association is a synonym
for hustle and ability to create ami
mating ideals. Not alone have these
two concerns made Durham the cyno-
sure Of the world. but an educational
center. Although Of a few years ex-
istence, they have created a kind Of
individualism In educational circles
that cannot be defined by short
phrase. 1t has met peculiar need
among the masses In this section.
These institutions have combated and
have triumphed in the fight for ideals
which will never die as long as there
are men of the type Of their founders
These institutions represent the birth
Of an idea for the development Of our
people that cannot be discountenanced.
A conception that has been employed
by many-that a certain phase of edu-
cation is only conducive to the best
development of the race - has, in a
measure, been discounted to quite a
degree by this movement
The National Religious Training
school has certainly caused a deep
awakening of race consciousness"
