would close the board.
1t was admitted that a number OF

grafton to the North and save
for the South its best labOring
and producing class of people, it
will increase the educational adj
vantages by cutting ont the in
equitable and ineXcusable distri-
button Of the public school funds.
The Negro is useful factor in
the industrial and economical de-
vclopment Of the state. and he is
entitled to fair play in the distri-
button of public funds, and any
division of any public fund That
does not recognize the worth and
value of the Negro as an econo-
mic factor. is criminal and ought
not to exist.

The (Austin) Herald

Negro has the same right to go
North or to any other section of
this country, singly or collective
ly, just as other people and races
do, whenever he chooses. His
first duty is to obey the laws and
attend to his own business
wherever he may go. People
come from across the ocean by
the shiploads who can not speak
one word of English and are re-
ceived with open arms. Then
Why should we who speak the
English language, reared in this
country, pay our taxes, fight for
the stars and stripes as others
do, be looked upon as undesir-
ables simply because we choose
to change localities with the hope
of lettering our conditions?

all the soil and raggedness of his
own righteousness. He feels as
he could not feel in his youth the
need of something that is higher
than himself on which to take his
stand. And then he finds in
Jesus what he needs, the shadow
Of Great Rock in a weary land.
Except for the cross, old age
