New York World ExtoIs Patriotism of
CoIored Americans.

Under the caption Negro Patriotism
the New York World says editorially:
Negro leaders and educators are
prompt 10 disavow the possibility of
Negro disaffection due to German in
trigue. At Tuskegee William G. Will
cox, as chairman of the board of trus-
tees said that ''in this great crisis the
Negroes will not be found wanting. .
At Montgomery, Ala, 500 Negro teach
ers In convention cheered Principal Mo
ton of Tuskegee when he pledged the
loyalty of the race to President vii
SON."
At Hampton, Va, DR.. Frissell of
Hampton institute said:
1.-THE Negro has always been loyal.
Certainly no other race coming from
a foreign soil can be compared with
Negroes in their loyalty to this coun-
try. What is true of the past is Ger
tainly true of the present."
These pledges have a timely interest,
but what occasion was there to take
seriously the vague charges which have
prompted them2 There has never been
the slightest ground for doubling the
loyalty of American Negroes to the
government that freed them. They
fought for 1t long before that time. III

try of Our Patriotic Support.
Colored troops are now guarding the
capital of the nation, and we have been
informed that they are on duty around
the White House, says the Richmond
(Va.) Planet editorially. Faithful
unto death" has always been their mot
to, ana the president of the United
States can repose absolute confidence in
the black contingent that has been
mustered into service.
There can be no question as to the
patriotism of colored citizens. They
have never known anything else. 10y
atty has always been their watchword,
whether the president of the United
States was Democrat or a Repub
lican.
And we add, there are no spies, plot
tiers nor anarchists among the men,
bers of our race This is oursnative
home, the Stars and Stripes our ma
tional emblem. We will stand by the
flag, protecting against any foreign foe.

the Revolutionary war, and their BRAY
cry in the civil war is a matter of
history.
By April 2, 1864, the number of Ne.
gro enlistments reached 71.97s, and
according to Nicolay and Hay within
half year after Lincoln's order of en-
listment the black regiments had fur.
nished such examples of bravery on
many fields that commanders gave
them unstinted praise and white Off
GERS and soldiers heartily accepted
them as worthy and trusted compan
ions in arms"

TEAMWORK AT NASHVILLE.
citizsns of Tennessee Metropolis Raise
$20,t4o.S9 For Y. M. C. A.

citizens Of Tennessee Metropolis Raise
500, 1908 For Y. M. C. A.
Nashville, Tenn.-By raising in a sew
en- day campaign $50, 14o.ss the colored
people of this city took up the offer
whereby the white citizens were to
supplement 1t with their 100000,
which, 1t is expected, will secure from
Julius Rosenwald the $4,000 which
was promised some time ago. They
have already purchased the magnia-
cent Duncan hotel property, which
passed into their hands on Dec. 81,
1916, and which consists of a four
story building of eighty rooms and the
entire furnishings. The campaign was
notable for the amount of ginger put
into 1t.
More than $4,000 was reported on
was solicited through letters, by per
sonal subscriptions and by telegraph.
Friends ex-residents and sympathizers
Of Nashville people from all sections
of the United States were brought into
the campaign.
The building, which will be remod-
eled from the funds of the present
campaign, will be worth more than
100000 1t is said by the leading Y.
NJ G. A. experts to be one of the best
locations and win be one of the most
modern equipped buildings of any Y.
VI. c. A. among our people in the Unit
ed States. Contributions are still COM
ing in and 1t is expected that the
grand total from our folks alone will
reach the sum of $4,000.
While this marks the third campaign
in Nashville since 1914 In the interest
of the Y. M. c. A, the daily papers
say that the race has done well. In
in January, 1917, $4,000 more was
subscribed and In this campaign an
additional total of 500, 40 was sub
scribed. But it was understood that
the campaign just closed is to conform
with the campaign of the whites to
protect the shrinkage and to revive
new interest.
Henry Allen Boyd is chairman of
the committee of management. and w
N. Sanders is the secretary. ]. C. Ma
pier served as chairman of the present
campaign; w. ID. Hawkins, general of
Division A. Preston Taylor general of
Division B, with Bishop l. B. Scott as
vice chairman. There were fourteen
teams at work, all schools and col
leges helping. ]. B. Watson, the inter-
national secretary, spent the entire
time here helping to direct the effort.

COTTON CROP NOT LARGE.
Smallest With Exception Of Last
Years Since 1909.

Washington, June 12.-According to
a bulletin about to be issued by the
bureau of the census the American
cotton crop Of 1916--11 ,449,9S0 equiv
alent 500 pound bales-showed slight
increase as compared with the pre-
ceding year but with that exception
was the smallest since 1909.
The crop of 1916 exceeded that OF
1915 by about 25s.000 bales but fell
below that of 1914--the largest ever
grown-by 4,6S5, 900 bales, or 20 PEI
cent. The production in Alabama,
Florida, Georgia. Mississippi, North
Carolina and South Carolina fell be-
low that reported for 1915, while the
remaining States show increases. BY
far the most pronounced decrease took
place in Alabama, in which State the
1916 crop, amounting to 533,402 bales
was only a little more than half rs
great as that Of the preceding year,
1,O2O,SSs bales.
The sea island cotton crop Of 1915.
1859 running bales-was the larg-
est on record, with the single excep-
ton Of the crop Of 1911. which ex-
ceeded it by 1,743 bales
Although cotton is grown in IS
States, the combined product of three
Texas, Georgia and Arkansas, the
only States which produce more than
million bales each in 1916-repre-
sented nearly three -fifths of the total
crop Of that year. Texas alone re-
ported 3.725.700 bales, or nearly one
third of the total crop.
