DR.. SHEPARD GETS RESULTS.
Letter of North Carolina Governor
Evokes Strong News Editorial.

Letter OF NORM Caroiina 1oVcrnor
Evokes Strong News Editorial.
The Greensboro IN. CO. Daily News
recently carried the following editorial
on Governor Bickctts letter to Dr..
James L. Shepard in answer to the
latter's plea against the lynching Of COL
cred people, with especial reference to
the Memphis and East st. Louis hor-
rors.
Governor Bickett's letteg Il. Dr. James
z. Shepard, president Of the National
Training school at Durham, expresses
well the North Carolina attitude to-
ward the Negro man.
President Shepard asked seventeen
governors to issue appeals to the people
Of their states protesting against the
lynching Of helpless race. The Negro
educator desires to see country in
which his own people "Inay live and
hope" The intimation that living and
hoping become increasingly difficult in
the light Of '1ynchings north and south"
gives the governor his opportunity to
invite the Negro back home.
Various assignments of causes behind
the negro exodus to- the north have
been given, but DR.. Shepard has struck
upon one that bears the appearance of
epigrammatic force-"the right to live
and hope" Better wages naturally
have contributed to condition that
has greatly disturbed the south. Sur
face indications Of lesser racial feeling
must have moved many to seek the
north. The right to live and hope Pc
litically has done deal to encourage
the move northward.
Nevertheless the northern and west.
ern press is net so sure that the treat.
ment Of the black man has justified so
radical an eXpedient. The Chicago
Tribune III series Of singing editor
rails the last several days has STUN
bled upon fundamental truth. The
south will lynch q Negro the Tribune
says. but the south never lynches 1.-The
Niger" The south will break out &C.
casionally into hideous orgy Of tor
ture and mutilatiOn against one man,
but never against his whole family or
his community. 1t is not a very fat
tering picture of the Wanted liberality
Of the north and west that the Tribune
draws.
Whatever advantages the colored
man may feel other sections offer him.
1t is undeniably true that the south
gives him his highest right to live If
by that is meant the provision of the
physical means of creating liveli-
hood. And without such right it IS
foolish to talk of hope. In Durham
the great democracy Of work finds its
highest expression. There is wealthy
colored man. ex-slave. named Fitzger-
aid. Nobody pretends that anybody
makes a brick equal to Fitzgerald's,
and Fitzgerald has grown rich because
he is an artist in his business. And
nobody ever drew the color line sn one

NAVY NEEDS 1000 OFFICERS
Ways to Meet Shortage Considered BY
Navy Board.

Washington, Aug. 23.-There is a
shortage of more than 1000 officers in
the navy.
The navy general board has suggest
ed two methods of meeting the de-
mand. The first is to graduate 800
midshipmen, who have completed two
and onehalf years of their four-year
course at Annapolis on Jan. /, and to
graduate the next class in September.
This would reduce the shortage by 400.
The second suggestion made by the
board is to comb the naval reserves
for capable men who may be given
junior commissions.

The Case Against
Rats And Mice

Rats and mice are among the worst
animal pests in the world, according
to biologists of the U. S. department
of agriculture.
From their home among filth they
visit dwellings and storeroems to pc
lutte and destroy human food.
The rat carries bubonic plague ar
many other diseases fatal to man and
has no doubt been responsible TO,
more untimely deaths among human
beings than all wars of history.
In the United States rats and mice
destroy each year in homes, in facto-
ries, stores, and warehouses, in carr
and on ships, crops, poultry, and 9TH
er property valued at more than $780,
000,000-an amount equivalent to the
gross earnings Of an army of 200,Geo
men.
Grain eaten and wasted by rats and
mice on many farms would pay all the
farmers taxes.
Rats and mice breed from 6 tc &c
times year, producing their destruc.
tive ki-d at an alarming rate.
They are parasites without a sing,e
redeenirg characteristic.
