By GEORGE r. KING.

The situation reveals how well intelli-
gent, honest and progressive men and
women can serve the race, especially
in the rural sections of the south,
where the masses are I'm need of loyal
leadership.
The Fender county commencement of
the colored schools, which was recently
held here, showed that the influence of
the Burgaw Normal and Industrial
school has effectively brought about
such results that the relationship and
cooperation between the races are bet
ter. There Is tendency on the part of
the educational officials to give their
Afro-American patrons better school ia
cilities and thus improve the conditions.
As an evidence Of these facts during
this school term, the schools among
our people had an efficient supervisor
for the county In the person Of Mrs. 8.
f. Smith, who did splendid work. She
has shown what we can accomplish II
given fair chance.
There were about 1900 children I'm
the parade on the commencement day.
and the exhibits. literary contests and
enthusiastic demonstration on the part
of over 1000 farmers and their fami
lies from every section Of the county
showed the result Of helpful and intel.
ligcnt leadership. Following this event
were the closing exercises Of the Bur.
gaw Normal and Industrial school.
Again wholesome demonstration was
made and registered the untiring zeal
and efforts of the better element Of the
race to 60 forward.
The man who is largely responsible
for this constructive work I'm eastern
North Carolina is the Rev. G. r. Pope,
who Is unassuming, intelligent and
strikingly fOrceful I'm the activities
which have resulted In procuring
progressive supervisor for the rural
schools. New impetus has been given
to the Home Makers Club workers, a
movement to teach mothers and girls
how to make good homes.
The Rev. 9. F. Pope is a native Of
this state and was reared in Hartford
county. After graduating from Waters
Normal institute, Winton, N. c., he en-
tered the college and theological de-
partments of Shaw university. After
graduating from this university he
taught two years at Waters Normal in
stitute and later specialized at Chicago
university. He taught theology at
Shaw university for eleven years. In
1915 he accepted the principalship Of
the Burgaw Normal and Industrial
school. which has greatly increased In
influence and efficiency the past year.
Besides his efforts to secure the neces
sary funds for new dormitOry, which
is Of pressing need. the Rev. Mr.. Pope
hopes TO have member Of the race
appointed as a school demonstration
agent. Among his activities will be
the conduct of a summer school for
teachers and a farmers conference.

REHABILITATION OF
ATLANTA
THE

Marks Some Progressive Tendencies.
Atlanta, Ga, May 28.-A Commit
tee of Rehabilitation has been de-
signated by the Mayor of Atlanta.
with the advice of the Chamber of
Commerce to synchronize all the ele-
ments that center into the restora-
ton of the burned area and those
homes and business enterprises that
suffered loss in the recent fire.
The Committee is composed of the
following persons, all prominent in
the business development of Atlanta,
and several of much more than local
fame: Mr.. Edw. H. Inman, Mr.. Rock
we'll Johnson, Mr.. Isaac Schoen,
Judge Walter Colquitt, Mr.. Carlos H.
Mason, Mr.. Harry H. Pace, Rev. E.
II. Oliver and Mr.. A. F. Herndon.
The three latter are Negroes. The
Minister'S position is self-explanatory.
Mr.. Herndon is owner of one of the
largest and best equipped barber
shops in America, is the dominant
factor in the Atlanta Mutual Insur-
ance Company, and resides in a home
quite in keeping with his station. Mr..
Pace is the distinctive character upon
this Committee. He is young, virile
and the Negro prototype of the mod
ern business executive. His capabil-
tiles are best explained by the fact
that at the age of SO, he is Secretary
Treasurer of the Standard Life In
surance Company, a SIPS, 100000 Legal
Reserve Life Insurance Company that
has on its books Fife Million Dollars
worth of business, and that has met
every legal requirement and examina-
ton with books and records in such
shape as to receive commentator
from even antagonistic sources.
1t is distinct novelty in the
South for Negro interests to be recoe-
nized in community matters by the
active participation of bona fide bust
ness men in the deliberations of con-
sequential bodies.
Occasionally in politics and relig-
ion some sort of Negro adjunct CON-
mittees have been tolerated, but here
we find a case of absolute and direct
interchange of ideas, and it may he
said that the exodus has not failed
to become prime factor in the Com.
mittee's consideration.
Rehabilitating seven hundred white
and eight hundred Negro families of
every social and industrial type is no
mean job for even those, eight high
minded and experienced men, and our
race throughout the country may feel
certain that race interests will be
cared for with aggressiveness temp
cred by proper sense of justice and
business diplomacy. This will repre-
sent lot of work to already busy
men but the establishment of this
precedent and its satisfactory fulfill
ment is of unreasonable value to
the race.

Fred Fulton of Minneapolis in Bos-
ton, June 10Th. Fulton hopes to re-
gain his honors lost when Carl Nor
ris defeated him. Should he beat
Langford, he expects match for
championship laurels with Jess Will

with the champions but they never
draw the color line when they "go
back" Sam has been a wonder and
has undoubtedly slowed up, hence the
match.

By GEORGE r. KING.
Burgaw, N. C.-During these days of
unrest and the pronounced tendency of
of Afro-Americans in the
south to migrate north, many Of our
educators in the south are manfully
showing the educational needs Of the
masses Of the race. They are contend
ing that the educational facilities for
the race must be made better If the
schools are to be effective agencies for
racial development.
If there Is not a substantial effort on
the part Of the state to give the colored
people their just apportionment Of the
funds the Industrious and
men and women will mi
crate to sections where their children
will have better educational advantages.

Waiting for the Spring Offensive.

1t is reported that in Paris the opin-
ion is gaining ground that the Germans
will take the initiative on the west front
in the near future in anticipation of the
expected allied drive. It will be re-
membered that the German advance on
Verdun began on the 21st of February
last, q season when offensive operations
were least expected, and this, 1t is pre-
dicted by some at the French capital,
will be the German tactics again, es-
pecially in view of the presumption that
the allies are preparing themselves for
a heavy blow.
If the allies have been in fact pre-
pairing for resumption of their adj
vance they will DO probably ready to
resist such an onset. The Verdun at
tack of little less than a year ago was
chiefly successful, so far as it went, be-
cause the French were not expecting Il
at that time. Whether the German ON,

Sailors at the Inauguration.

\ sailor on parade is always a spec
taele that wins popular appreciation, and
it is a pleasing probability that sailors
will be more numerous and conspicuous
in the Inauguration parade than they
have been heretofore. The announce
ment has been made that because of the
presence of nearly all the army and a
large part of the organized militia on
the border the duty Of representing the
armed service Of the United States in
che inaugural ceremonies will fab large
ly TO the lot of the sailor. 1t is too
early, the chairman of the inaugural
committee says, to know what troops
will be available for the imposing
pageant and to what extent the sailors
will be called on, but there is no doubt
that there will be more sailors in the
marching column than there have ever
been before.
II is a cause for regret that q very
large part of the army cannot march in
review before the hundreds of thousands
OF Americans who will flank the course
of the procession. Thousands of these
Americans will come from cities, towns
and country districts where a United
States regular soldier is seldom seen
and where body of regular troops is
rare spectacle. An increase in the

force of the Inauguration would be wei.
