There is scarcely summer that
does not bring oppressive heat to
northern cities, and when the tenn
perature runs up into the nineties
many heat prostrations and not
few of them fatal are reported. The
hot wave of the past four days caused
hundreds of deaths in New York.
The south has good deal of hot
weather. Were. it otherwise, cotton
could not be grown in this region, but
it is a well known fact that heat pros
trations are extremely rare. Biz
mingham, in all it's history, has had
only three deaths from sunstroke.
Such a record is something for our
northern friends co remember-those
who have an idea that the south is
never free from fever and habitable
only in winter.

1t is up to the white people Of the south
to be just and to see that the negro gets
justice. The race troubles in the east

the antagonisms that the negro will
have to go up against when he leaves
