CAUCASIAN RAPISTS
CONVICTED OF CRIME
ONE MONTHS RECORDS SHOW SEVEN NORTH CAROLINA
WHITE MEN oUTRAGING WHITE WOMEN

1.-TWO white men convicted of in
cest and three white men con-
victed of rape, all within the
past month, is only part of the rec
ord made by WHITE RAPISTS in
North Carolina
From Mt. Airy, \. c., comes one of
the most revolving stories the news
papers have ever had to record. Wes-
ley Newman, white farmer, with
several grown daughters, was CON
that for three years Newman had com
PEELED three of his daughters TO sub
nit Ia his lustful incinations threat
ening death if they resisted. He was
sentenced to from thirty TO sixty years
in state prison.
Another incest case was that of
James III. Scott, a white carpenter,
aged "A, who had, two years ago when
the girl was only u years of age,
made an attack upon his own daugh-
ter. Recently he attempted to COM
nit the same crime against her daugh-
ter. and in self-protection she called
in the police.
From Asheville, y. c.. comes the
tale of a 5-year-old white girl who is
under treatment by physicians for Il
venereal disease as the result of an
attempted criminal assault by James
Gaddy, aged So, white man said to
he formerly from Greenyille, 5. c.
Two Sentenced to Die.
]. Il. Cline, white man, was con-
victed of criminally assaulting young
white woman and sentenced to be cleo
trOcuted on December 18th. An APP
peal to the Supreme Court has stayed
the execution and Cline has been tax
en- to the state prison.
Johnston County people are strong
ly opposing the granting of clemency
in the case of C. l.. Cooley Cooley
is another white man who has been
convicted and is under sentence of
death for criminal assault, and MS
friends are asking Governor Beckett
to exercise clemency. If the johnston
County citizens opinion is regarueu
he will die for the crime which he
committed.
In Craven County slightly differ
ent element enters into case III lhe
county court as Carrie Fields, whlte
woman. is suing Walter Brinson,
white man, for $4,000 on the charge
of robbing her of her honor, declaring
that he is the father of her Eouhs

At the hearing the defendant con
tended that the girl was not assaulted.
but that immoral relations We're had
with the girl by her willing consent.
The court released the defendant on
1000 bail.
Many other cases in other southern
states have been noted during the

able that any other state has given
any more publicity to its white rapists

UnStateSmanlike Talk.

Senator James ". Wadsworth Jr. went abroad to
make IAN intensive study of the aims tasks and achieve
ments of our army, and he with this verdict
Il have absolutely no criticism to make of the ad-
mnistraton of army affairs the other side am ex-
tremely proud of what army accomplished in so short
time and exmember of the 1st New York Cavalry
understand military affairs appreciate what re-
markable things have been accomplished"
This is not the way a Republican statesman is ex-
peced to talk. 1t not the way Democratic states
men would be expected to talk
1t is, most of all, not the way any related to
the Senate Military Affairs Committee of which Mr..
Wadsworh distinguished member, could be expected
to talk; for that is the committee whose Democratic
chairman just year ago proclaimed that the military
establishment had almost ceased functionng," and
whose members generally and accordingly demanded that
the functions of the President commander in chief of
the army should be transferred three distinguished
citizens of demonstrated ability"
The trouble with the senior senator from New York
is that he has been forming judgment intensive
view of instead of on an extensive
curacy nversey with the of the distance
This may be craftsmanship from sandpoints, but
how does the expect will pass such with the
Senate Military Affairs Committee?-New York World.

ROOSEVELTS LAST CHARITY.

1t has just become known that of the last dona
on by Theodore Roosevelt for relief work among
the people in the war stricken district for
the Near East
Mr. Roosevelt had been heartily in accord with this
and in several given by him he urg
ed Americans give literally, that Armenians might
the chance establish themselves in republic.
In a statement which he gave out recently he charac-
terized the relief work the Armenian people as
of the worthy efforts of this kind Liberty low
ing the last degree himself the appeal for the
cuted Armenians attracted him particularly.
In letter enclosing his check for $1,000 Colonel
Roosevelt said With all my heart wish you Godspeed
in the work of relief you undertaken for the Christ
ians of Western Asia"
Money which will be raised in Georgia during the
week for the relief of Armenian Syrian sufferers
the Near East will be augmented by any funds which
Congress may appropriate for relief work in the
taed sections of Europe, campaign managers the At
Ianta district announce.
President Wilson, in special message to Congress,
has asked that $1O0O0O0OO be appropriated immediate
relief sections Europe funds are sorely
needed this money loaned the governments and
repaid they are able The Armenians, without any
form of will re unable share in this fund.
although this time they probably in greater need
of assistance than any of the other peoples of Europe
Stories, which continue to to the Georgia
campaign leaders from this stricken have spurred
them greater efforts drive here for 100000
Georgas share in the nations fund One of
the relief workers in this zone in letter to
friend Atlanta described the among the
ians unparalleled. He stated that the reports that
10000 dying there each month from lack
food and shelter are conservative.
Children be with the skin actually shrve-
led uron their bones like of IS years of age

THE NATIONAL PRESS.
Berger and The Socialists.


That Victor l. Berger should have astonished at
his conviction ne certainly was will give the same
feeling OF establishment people who read about it.
All that necessary for the prosecution was to pro
the evidence of his own writings and the anwar
Socialist platform drawn up by him his colleagues
The prosecution, it out might as well not have
produced any further evidence the foreman of the
jury says;
We paid more attention to the documentary evidence
than to the testimony The documentary evidence
showed that these had deliberately in wartime set
out to hinder the nation help the enemy and had
broken laws well known to them We could see nothing
innocent in their intent"
And yet the Socialists persist in believing or at least
in saying, that Berger and his codeendans we're con-
ced because they were Socialists and in talking about
the "capitalistc court" that convicted them Norris
Hdlquist for instance, teegraphed this comment:
The conviction is act OF frank and brutal class
justice 1t is deliberate challenge to the Socialist
movement The Socialists will take up the challenge"
Julius Gerber Executive Secretary of Local New
YORK OF the Socialist Party, teegraphed to Berger and
his co-defendants, now his fellow eonvicts:
The burgeose is true to its class as you were to
yours Your silence in Jail will do more to awaken the
workers to the real the course (curse of the
SaBitalistic system"
Evidently the Socialist Party is going to take this
1ack If we are to them belief in their sincerity

lands. The proposition of Secretary
Lane to establish colonies Of return
ing soldiers on cut-over lands caused
the government, by special agents,
to investigate cut-over lands as a
suitable places for homes for our re-
turning soldiers, and this again
brought out the merits of cut-over
lands for agricultural purposes and
gave them a publiciyt hitherto un-
known.
The railroads, under the Railroad
Administration, have also been a
paramount factor in giving new
impetus to the development Of cut
over lands. Mr.. C. NJ. Kittle, federal
manager of the Illinois Central rail-
way, also Of the N. o. C. NJ, Gulf &
Ship Island and Mississippi Central
railroads, ana these lines serve Be-
galusa and surrounding country, is
a great advocate Of the development
of the agricultural resources along
these lines.
MIR. R. K. Smith, general manager
under the Railroad Administration of
the N. o. G. N. railway, is also firm
believer in cut-over lands along his
lines, and no effort has been spared
to get enterprising farmers and live
stcokmen into the country.
As of peculiar interest to Bogalusa
and the N. o. G. N. railroad we may
note the work of NJ. Walter s..
Ayres, industrial commissioner Of the
N. o. G. n. Railroad Mr.. Ayres
maintains a branch office in Chi
cago, ILL.,, where he is brought into
contact with Gairynen and farmers
and live-stockmen in the North who
desire to make change. He has sold
many farms along the line and in the
vicinity of Bogalusa, also ranches.
The progressive farmers are either
here, or are coming. Mr. Ayres has
carefully divided the. cut-over lands
along the line into ranches Of greater
Bogalusa enterprise and American. (Bogalusa, La.) 1918-19??, 1919-02-27

Cut-over land is coming into its
own. About ten years ago the first
stir Of interest was manifested in this
great denuded area. Several causes
operated to direct public attention
to the cut-over lands in the South
coastal plains. One reason was that
the burden of taxation on the cut
over lands became so great that the
lumber companies resorted to farm
ing and live stock raising as means
of revenue to meet taxes and other
carrying charges. Another reason
was that the great lumber companies,
having enriched themselves by strip
ping the country of its great wealth
of trees, they felt an obligation to
leave the country not as a barren
waste, but in productive state. The
war also had much to do with the
development of cut-over lands. The
imperative demand for food, espec-
tally meat products, directed the gov
eminent to the millions of idle acres
in the logged off districts in the
Southland effort was at once Or
gained to utilize these broad areas
for increased crops and live stock.
The West and Southwest had had its
ranges interfered with by being
broken up into small farms by home
steaders, and new grazing territory
had to be sought. The West and
Southwest experienced the greatest
drouth in history and to save the live
stock Of the plains country for war
purposes thousands of animals were
transferred, under government su-
pervision, to the green grass country
of Louisiana and Mississippi. The
experiment was successful in great
measure, and thus government ap-
proyaI as live stock country was
stamped upon cus-over lands. All
these things contributed to turn the
eyes Of the live stock man, dairyma1,
truck and general farmer to cut-over
