BLACKER DECLARES POE
Editor of Progressive Farmer Tells
Charlottesville Gathering Oh In
crease of Negro Farmers.

Charlottesville. Va, April IL
Census statistics proving that the rural
South Is growing olacker instead of
whittier featured the address of EDITOR
Clarence Poe, OF the Progressive
Farmer. delivered here. In the South
Atlantic Stapes in the last census de-
cade. he sad. white farmers increased
only u per cent. negro farmers %
per cent--nearly twice as fast. In the
South Central States white farmers
Increased II per cent and the negroes
y per cent--nearly twice as fast
He also pointed out that negroes are
gaining fastest IN farm ownership,
while ii is the whites who are fastest
becoming a tenant class, there being
1888 600 increases IN number of white
tenant farmers IN the last decade, or
~ per cent, against only 11s.oo0 in.
crease in negro tenant farmers. or
81 per cent.
DR.. Poe declared that these results
were due not to the superiority of the
negro. but to two unfair advantages
First, an unfair economic advan-
tage IN that the negroes are able 10
buy land and make crops on "a scale
Of living clothing and housing that
the respectable white farmer and his
family doing the same character or
work cannot meet.
Second, a social advantage in that
when negroes move into white
neighborhood. or begin to outnumber
the whites in a neighhorhood, or be-
come of. bad character, the whites
may be forced to move away because
there is no longer an adequate white
social life; adequately supported white
schools and churches, or else for the
greater security of the white farmers
wife and daughters"
BY way OF offsetting these advan-
tages, las matter OF justice 10 the
white man and not of injustice to the
negro" he declared he advocated the
plan of allowing white neighborhoods
that wish to do SO to limit future
land sales TO white people. On this
point he said
In North Carolina such a plan for
race segregation in land ownership Is
now definitely before the people and

NEW RULING MADE
REGARD PASSPORTS

WASHINGTON, oct. 25.-A new
policy was announced tonight by the
state department with reference to the
issuance Of American passports to
writer's who intend to visit the war
zones Of Europe. Every effort is TO
be made to prevent the misuse Of the
American passports for unneutral pur-
poses. The announcement says
The number Of newspaper writers
who have applied for passports has
caused the department TO rule that
hereafter it will issue passports to
writer's who contemplate visiting
belligerent countries only when they
are regularly accredited TO the depart
ment by responsible journals or recog-
nized press associations.
THE department will not issue pass
ports to individuals who are paid or
expect to be paid by the agents Of
foreign governments for matter which
they may publish.
The object Of this ruling Is to en-
sure the continued neutrality Of the
United States and to prevent indi-
viduals from putting their safety in
jeopardy"
