temporary removal of restrictions

ton which must be exported to Europe
for the maintenance of our armies and
the armies and civilian population OF
our allies.
The fisheries of eastern North Caro-
lima are among the most important on
the Atlantic coast and the removal of
the restrictions on Tar Heel fishermen
means not only that the people of this
state will be more largely supplied
with fresh and salt fish at much lower
prices than has prevailed recently, but
that hundreds of thousands of pounds
OF fish will be shipped to other states
Food Administrator Henry A. Page
believes that with, this larger supply
of fish available; with the season for
rabbits, squirrels and other game
opening; with the increased use of
poultry and eggs; with vastly in
creased supply of homegrown pork in
the state, North Carolina will be able
to release for export to Europe prac-
tically all of the million dollars worth
of pork and beef which has been i'm
ported into this state each year here

The program of the food admins

HAMPTON DEFEATS LINCOLN.
University Men outolassed by Students
Of Noted Virginia Institution.
BY LAWRENCE A. LEE.

Hampton, ya.-The Hampton insti-
tute basketball team recently proved
its superiority to the orange and blue
squad of Lincoln university by defeat
ing them by the margin of one point
Lincoln outplayed the blue and white
machine in the first half, but the latter
half proved fatal to the visitors. Time
and again they delayed the game with
no intention other than to get rest.
The Seasiders. as usual. began the
second half with lightning speed. which
was kept up throughout the remaining
part of the game. AT one time it seem
ed as though the Linconites were to
be the victors, but after j. Dorsey
stepped into his position things made
a radical change. During the entire
first half Hampton was unable to cage
a field goal. Edwards made six foul
goals out of the eight chances, while
Lincoln made FIVE field goals and two
foul goals during the first half. The
first half ended with the score IL to q
In Lincoln's favor.
The second half started with Gurnoe.
Miser and Pierson as Hampton's fresh
men. while Lincoln substituted Hen
derson for Butler. Captain Edwards
and Gurnoe began to find the basket
in the early part Of this half, and it
was all that the Young brothers could
do to stop the Seasiders from scoring
In the last few minutes of play Hamp-
ton tied the score.
Owing to the fact that Lincoln had
six men on the court, Referee Thomp-
son called a foul on them. After a
lengthy debate the Lincolnites gave in.
Edwards made the goal, placing Hamp-
ton one point ahead of the orange and
blue.
The game ended with the final score
% to % In the Virginians' favor. Both
teams deserve much credit for the fast
teamwork that was exhibited, but it
is suggested that basketball teams
leave their debaters at home, for the
referees are not always willing to hold
a debate with the captain while his
teammates are getting rested.

Be Judged by Sectional Sentiment.
In an article by Il. IS. McWo0dson
which appeared recently in the New
York Sun OIL the attitude of the north
ern and southern white people toward
the colored people as individuals and
as race and whether the colored man
should fight for his country in case OF
war the writer says:
1t is true that the black man is no
more the pet of the north. There was
a time that he was. but it seems now
that he is the pest of the south and
the puzzle of the north. The southern
ers may not be too nearsighted to see
the black mans future nor the north
erners too farsighted to see his present
condition. But II does seem that nei-
Their north nor south has very much
sight when it comes to seeing the
black man in the right light. One is
prejudice blind, and the other is color
blind.
The white people of the south see
too much of him. and the white people
Of the north see too little of him, and
as a rule. the white people of the north
Judge the black race by the few they
see in the northern cities. They must
90 south to see the black man. We
mean the majority of the progressive
black men and women. There are
many leaders in the north who are a
strong type of the worth and value of
the black mans genius.
The white people Of the south are
said to love the individual black man
erners to hate the individual and love
the race And here we find the black
man again between two extremes. The
southerners see too much of him and
the northerners see too little of him.
The first blood shed for Americas in
black man. In Boston. A question
comes In my mind now: Should black
man shoulder a gun and go to war and
fight for this country. a country which
denies him the rights Of citizenship un-
der a flag which offers him no protec-
ton. strips him of bis manhood by en-.
acting laws which keep him from the
ballot box. DISTINGUISHED. segregated.
Disseminated against. lynched. burned
at the stake. Jim erowed and disarm
ed? If he fights. and fight he must.
for what does he fight?
MIR. McWoodson's argument is quite
logical. but the attitude of white peo-
pie north or south, whether favorable
or unfavorable toward the colored
race, cannot blot out its loyalty to Old
Glory The Negro will continue 10
fight for his country and also fight for
the rights and protection which the
constitution and the flag guarantee TO
all Americans without regard to race,
color or previous servitude.
