7. cravens' Views On Negro Migration
and What X Means.

and What It Means.
In another column of this paper will appear commun-
cation to the Constitution by Cavens under the caption
j" Boil Weev and Negro Emigration Not So Bad AS They
AT First Seemed He attributes the of the Ne
gro very largely 10 the boil weev causing the white farmer
who has been supplying the Negro the withdraw
his and declare that he would be unable supply
him another and that he woud have supply himself
Perhaps this did have something do with it but it
isn't the real in opinion The real great
and deeper than this The boil weev and the support of
the white farmer only incident The real
msreatmen and the failure that liberty which the
Negro in with all other longs for. The Ne
gro is American ito the born. He has imbued
the American spirit having lived moved and had his being
in this country for nearly three hundred Our white
neighbors either do know the won't acknow
edge it. Man live by bread alone" You might
give the Negro all the material wealth in the world yet
he would not be satisfied any than white whose
civil and political rights abridged There
Negro the jury he holds place of honor trust
not much a or bailif
Our white neghbors may we'll understand once for
ALL that nothing in the world will satisfy Negro stop
this mighty tide of migration but equal and Justice
The slogan is "libery. and when white neighbors as
does Mr. Cravens attribute the Negro
vial things as boil weev and lack of support by white
ers they deceive themselves The Negro 90 where
he liberty: where he get better schools better
better school facilities better political opportunities
and better of life. That the reason the
Negro is going North.
We quite agree with Mr.. Craven that there is coming
order and system of things viz the adoption
vershcaton system Of agriculture instead cotton farm
ing The last have convinced thoroughly on
this point in this the Negro has done to bring
about this diversified anybody is thor
oughy in accord with it. This by full smoke
houses full cribs in fact plenty at home The
Negro has not been laggard in this movement 1t
that Mr. Cravens nsnuates that Nee has
been obstacle the this movement and the
he goes the better for all If ANYTHING he
will be needed just bad in the system farming as
in the old.
Mr. Cravens right when he says: The exodus of the
foreigner his native land has been Godsend the Ne
gro this time; has opened field of labor him at an
opportune time Necessity knows law climate the
Negro will go and he will die in the going STAYING
but he will stay andf from what point they start
they will induce others follow (Our cook has gomez
Facts facts. Here is emigration problem rio
and has been given equal rights under con
and he South have educated him as we
in book larnn, and the him other
agriculture in particular limited. So, therefore
the only solution whatever that might mean them to
the various Of the Union those
whose population they become part door
of opportunity them and educate them the lines of
skilled labor and should they become in the So
cal and political fe solve the problem just have
done They should be given the preference in the North
the foreigner from southern Europe-that is
these Fasteners practice hat they preach"
We heartily with Mr. Cravens when declares
that the Negro should be given the preference the
the foreigner from southern Europe The Ne
real American and has been here long as
any other American, and is entitled that be
treated American AS have said before this pa
per- what the Negro be treated American
citizen without discrimination and every he turns
around to be reminded that he is "ngger He wants
for expansion and development and the reason
he migrating North is find for development
in mind in morals and in wealth. Most of them
