N. C. GOVERNOR SAYS FARM IS
NEGROES PLACE.
(By Associated Negro Press)

Raleigh, N. c., Nov 27.-"The best
place in the world for the Negro is
the farm" Governor T. w. Beckett
told as many as could crowd in
hearing distance of the band stand
at the State Fair grounds, where the
governor delivered his address at the
Negro State Fair.
The Governor was presented to
his audience by President James E..
Sheppard who. in a few brief intro
ductory remarks, added his word of
counsel in support of the doctrine
that the south holds the biggest OPP
portunities for the Negro.
Gov. Beckett got his crowd in a
good humor with a joke and stated
his platform about state fair speech
es. Thereupon, he mounted that plat
form and in an informal way talked
about ten minutes.
II simply came out here to show
you that I'm with you; that I'm de-
pending upon you; that I want to
see YOU grow and prosper in North
Carolina and have good time"
The Governor recorded the vivid
impression of progress received from
his review of the exhibits and paid
tribute to the work of the women in
the way of household arts. Attract
tive, comfortable homes the Cover
nor said, is one of the mightest
forces Of civilization, and he voiced
his delight in seeing the women of
the Race catching hold of the spirit
of the new day.
Zone man I am sorry for in this
world" said the governor "is the one
who, when his days work is done,
goes TO his home like a dog to his
kennel. Every man is entitled to

full of sunshine and love-
when you do your days work, !"
the governor added by way of
counsel" and start to your home, be
sure that you take your wages along
with you. Be sure you turn a fair
part to your wife, who is making
your home there. The Negro who
stands in the way of the progress of
his race is the one who works hard
every day in the week and stands
his money in useless or wicked
ways.
Governor Beckett revealed a bit in
the memory of some unusually fine
agricultural exhibits displayed at the
fair and paid his tribute to the Ne

Washington, Feb. 15.-Instances
of severe sentences imposed by
courts martial upon soldiers found
guilty of minor offenses were recit-
ed before the Senate military COM
mittee yesterday by Brigadier Cen
eral Samuel T. AnselI, acting judge
advocate general who appeared to
urge enactment of law authoriz-
ing reviews of court martial sem
tences by the judge advocate.
General Ansell was asked by
members of the committee why it
was that many conscientious objec-
tors had been discharged from the
army while enlisted and selective
service men were required to re-
main in camps, but he asked to be
excused from answering. Chair
man Chamberlain later announced
that Secretary Baker would be call
ed for questioning on this subject.
General Ansell told the commit
tee that personally he favored the
pending Chamberlain bill granting
broad powers of review in court
martial cases. but said that generally
War Department officials opposed
the provisions of the measure. Prior
