WHEN THEY GO NORTH.


Then.
To the Editor Of The state
Il wish YOU would please publish
the following clipping from the New
York Times, with reference to the
negroes Of the South moving North:
"a number Of men who had lun-
chcon yesterday at Downtown Del
monico's at the invitation of George
Foster Peabody, Jacob G. Klinck,
Clinton J.. Rossiter Lawrence Smith
Butler and l.. IIollingsworth Wood
started a campaign to raise 100000
for cQuipping the Howard orphanagc
lat Kings Park, L. l., to care for the
dependent children OF negro families,
who have emigratcd from the South
in the last year. The meeting was oc-
ca$ioncd by the conditions among the
negroes now in this part of the cOun-
try who aswcrcd the call of high
| WAGES and came North unpreparcd
for cold weather and incapable Of
meeting the requirements of living
conditions here despite the wages they
received.
William j. Dohcrty, deputy com
missioner Of charities, said that l50,-
600 negroes left the South and came
North in 1910, and that suffering was
widespread among them. They predict
cd that 100000 would come in 1917 if
The present wages continue, and point
ed out that private agencies were need
ed 10 care for the negroes bcauSc the
laws prevented public institutions Of
the city and state from taking charge
of persons who had not lived in New
York for a year"
wish to call editorial attention to
the above item and endcavor TO have
| it reproduced in every county paper
| in the State Of South Carolina, as il
will do a great deal toward cnlight-
cning the good, honest. hardworking
negroes of the South as to what
they may expect when they move
| North.
The South needs the negro and the
negro needs the South, and it is far
better for him to live and enjoy the
sunshine and sappiness Of the South
than 1t is for him to risk the charity
of soup kitchen in the North.
When the negro moves North, he
necessarily enters into the kcenest
kind Of competition, a competition
that he has never known and which
he Is not prepared to meet.
The above article from the New
York Times should be read and COM
mented upon from every negro pulpit
in the South.

President United States Savings Bank.

EMPIRE

Tense, dramatic and thrilling, 'The Woman God Forgot" an Art craft production of extraordinary beauty in which Geraldine Farrar will be seen to the greatest advantage, has heart appeal which few produc- tions of this description convey. The story is by Jeante Macpherson and the5 production was directed in mas terly style by Cecil B. De Mile. It is featured at the Empire theatre today and tomorrow. F
 The story of this remarkable Art craft photodrama is based upon the invasion of Mexico by Hernando Cor Montezuma, '.the Magnificent by that great Spanish adventurer. The production is replete with intensely dramatic action, and as the daughter of Montezuma Geraldine Farrar will be seen in a role of tremendous pow CT. ss; | It is the opinion of those who wit messed the production of the great l- photoplay that, Mr., De Miles battle scenes for The Woman God Forgot Estaged chiefly on high battlements are even more startling than those disclosed in Joan"
 Supporting the famous diva fin thi' production extraordinary; are man, whose names are pillars of strengtl | in the cinema world. These includ, lsWallace Reid, who appears as { l Spanish captain: Hobart Bosworth, a Cortez; Raymond Hatton, as Monte
 zuma; Charles B. Rogers, Waite Long. Olga Grey and others.

 need not tell you that many washing pow ders are full of caustic, which eats the life out of clothes and is absolutely ruinoui to dainty fabrics. Again judging from the size of the packages. one is almost, forced to- the belief that many of these powders are loaded with fllsssof questionable merit.
 Recently came across product which am convinced solves the big washing problem the problem of labor I was attracted to this product by Its peculiarly odd yet facinating name-JOY. s.sa
 Another striking feature about JOY was the size of the package-it Is much smaller than most ordinary washing powders, but thers Is a good reason for this. JOY Is a scier- dho Washing compound in concentratedt form.
 For practically every washing use found that one tablespoonful of JOY would do the work of three of your tablespoonfuls~ of ordi nary washing" powders. JOY does away with practically all boiling and rubbing In the washing of clothes. The woman who useG JOY will never bend over a washboard. Fol low the directions-which, by the way are altogether different from and much simpler than the directions printed on most washing powders-and you can have snowy and sweet smelling clothes on your line early in the morning almost without labor. is Ssss-
