CHARACTER APPRECIATED
WELL-KNOWN COLORED CITI-
ZEN OF WAYNE COUNTY.

LEN OE WAYNE
Some days ago the Argus carried a
local reference to the presence in the
city, on a visit home" of Will S.
Hagans, one of Wayne County's best
known colored citizens and prosper
Gus land owners, as was his father be-
fore him, the late Napoleon Hagans,
whom every body knowing him re-
spected.
The following letter received today
is so we'll expressed and SO creditable
that we publish it for its value to
other colored citizens and as pointing
a moral as to how the Race problem"
is being solved in the South. After
all, it is for the coiored people them
selves to solve it by being Industrious,
self-respecting and of sturdy charac-
ter:
Philadelphia, Nov. 81, 1914.
Col. Jos. E. Robinson,
Editor Argus,
Goldsboro, N. CG.
My Dear Colonel:-Permit me to
LA4o1h ~ " liz AOho4y hoIASO CIV
en- me in the Argus of recent date. 1
am never surprised, however, at any
act of kindness coming from you, as
1 have long since learned that your
brand Of friendship is of the depend
able kind that time and distance do
not affect.
I regret that In opportunity did not
present itself that l might have a talk
with you. All my time was taken
up in looking after my little affairs
there, and this finished, I was natural
ly seized with a longing desire to re-
turn to my children here.
l had not been home before since
the first of March and could, there
fore, easily see the improvements that
are steadily going OF in Go1dsboro.
The Chairman Of the Board OF
County Commissioners, Mr.. 1. F. Or
mond, very kindly took me into every
new court house, which should be an
object of pride to every one interested
in Wayne county and it's good peo-
pie.
1t is refreshing to me to note the
fact that en- my visits home / do moi
seem to be regarded by the thoughtful
and leading citizens as an alien or as
a stranger in a strange land, but as q
neighbor and friend. / find this true
as to individuals, business houses an6
financial institutions. An official OF
one of our banks there, in the course
of conversation, voluntarily expressed
a confidence in me that I shall always
appreciate. I was accustomed to these
expressions when 1 was there ever
day, but was not fully aware thai
this confidence was intact, regardless
Of my absence from the scenes of my
childhood.
Nor would I betray this confidence
for all the world.
To be away from my home that my
children may have the very best schoo
advantages is a great personal sacri
flee for me to make, but to do this has
borne down on me as a kind of duty
I owe them, and if I am making a mis-
take let me take my medicine like
man. But, after all, what is there il
man that's worth while except hi
mind? That's the only part about hin
that is lasting, for when that merge'
into the soul, it goes on forever. Thu
physical part doesn't amount to 81
much.
With very best wishes, I am,
Yours, etc.
WILL S. HAGANS.
