LOYALTY OF NEGROES
North Carolina Executive Deplores
Doubt Cast on Their Attitude.
Assures Germans Of Safety.

RALEIGH, n. c., April 7.--Declaring
that to question the loyalty "of our
colored population" "is a horrible in
justice to these faithful people" and
that 1.-The men in our midst who are
still citizens of Germany need have no
apprehension of danger to their per-
sons or property" Gov. Beckett late to-
day gave out a statement to the press
in which he. declared that he wanted
faith in the loyalty of our colored
population
Gov Beckett urges that in present
day excitement no injustice be done
good men. that the Germans have done
much toward upbuilding the south. that
they are safer in North Carolina than
they would be in Berlin" AS to the
negroes, he says that there is no page
in history that shines more gloriously
than that which records the loyalty of
black men to white women and chill
dren from 1851 to '65. when the white
men were at the front.
Treason and disloyalty are foreign
to the soul of the negro. In this cru
cial hour he can be counted upon to
do his full part in defense of the honor
Of the nation and the safety of those
around him. want the nation to know
and the world to know that the loyalty
Of North Carolina is SO 99-100 pure.
Cranks and lunatics will doubtless ap-
picion to attach to any class Of our
people. In due time North Carolina
will be called upon to do her part, and
will do it,"
