GUILFORD COURTHOUSE
Contracts Let for Magnificent Building
to BE Erected In Greensboro.
Cost, S40O, 900.

GREENSBORO. N. c.. September L.
The county commissioners OF Guilford
County have finally let the contracts
for tho construction OF the new court
house. which is to be on the old site
in this city. The bounty bonds have
been Issued and sold. and the new
building before completion will cost
about 100000. to say nothing of the
value OF the grounds situated in the
heart of Greensboro.
The contracts just let do not figure
up quite that amount. but the Jail is
yet to come. and the fixtures, which
will be quite costly for such a mag
innocent building. are yet to be pro-
vided for. 1t is a settled fact that
Guilford County will have a courthouse
as fine s. any in the State Of North
Carolina, and it will be completed
within a year.

North TO Investigate Negro Move
ment Speaks Very Plainly.
b. r. Holmes. president OF the Holmes
Institute. a normal school for celored
people in Atlanta, Ca. has recently
made an extended tour OF the North
and East to make study OF the con-
dttion OF the negroes who have Sruh
Off northward from the South in search
OF what they were led to believe was
better employment. Professor Holmes
visited, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Phtia-
delphia. New York, Baltimore. Wash
ington and other points. On his re-
turn the other day he was interviewedl
by reporter OF the Atlanta constitu-'
ton to whom he declared that moro
than 100000 negroes have migrated
from the South In less than one year.
The migration is due, he says, to the
fact that the steel factories Of tho
North were forced to hire colored la
borers from the South to carry on the
work done by tho foreigners who were
called to protect their country In tho
worlds war. Seven-eighths Of the me-
groes from the South. he states, are
engaged in manufacturing and ammu-a
milton plants. ~
Continuing. Professor Holmes says:
The cordial and pleasant relation
which exists between the white and
colored people of the South does not
exist in the North and East. and the
Southern negroes are feeling It keenly.;
The best place for the negroes to
reach their highest development as
race is In the South. The negroes In
Georgia arc doing more business OF
their own than all the negroes In the
States OF Ohio. Pennsylvania and Mary
land. The negroes in the South own
thrce-fourths Of all the property own
ed by the negroes in the United States.
Tho Southern white people have al
ways given the colored people Of the
South an opportunity to make a living
unmoicsted. and arc willing to help
the negroes TO better their condition
along all lines"

DEFENDS SCHEME:
AGAINST AMERICA
ENTIRELY CORRECT, ZIMMER-
MANN SAYS, FOR GERMANY TO
PROVIDE FOR FUTURE.

London, March 6:-The German
governments plan for involving
Mexico and Japan in war with the
United States in event of hostilities
between Germany and America was
defended in an address before
the reichstag by the foreign secre-
tary, DR. Alfred Zimmerman, as
quoted in the Reuter- dispatch from
Amsterdam. Replying to objections
raised by Socialist member to the
Mexican proposals, Dr. Zimmerman
said:
I'VE were looking out for all of
US in the event of there being the
prospect of war with America. 1t
was a natural and justified precau.
tion." (The version of DR. Zimmer-
mann's remarks received by wireless
from the official Overseas News
agency of Berlin reads at this point:
That Germany looked about for
allies in the event of the outbreak
of war with America is natural and
justified foresight.")
II am not sorry, that through its
publication in America, it also be-
came known in Japan.
For the dispatch of these in
structions a secure way was chosen
which at present is at Germany's
disposal" .
(The wireless version reads: For
the transmission of this dispatch the
safest way was chosen which was at
our disposal OF that time.")
How the Americans came into
possession Of the text which went to
America in special secret code we do
not know. That these instructions
should have fallen into American
hands is a misfortune, but that does
not alter the fact that the step was
necessary for our patriotic interests.
Least of all are they in America
justified in being excited about our
action. 1t would be erroneous to
suppose that the step made a par
ticularly deep impression abroad. 1t
is regarded as what it is-justifable
defensive action in the event of
war"
