THE NEGRO AND WAR SAVINGS.

The War Savings records for North
! Carolina show that the colored people
pledged to buy War Savings Stamps
far more in keeping with their ability
| than the white people. A compare
| tive study of the counties that sub
scribed 100 per cent of their War Saw
| ings allotment and the counties that
have the greatest percentages Of Negro
population shows that the Negro, is
not responsible for the state having
failed to raise its entire War Savings
allotment.
Scores of colored men, and not a
few colored women, have become limit
Club members by purchasing $1,000
worth of War Savings Certificates,
Arson county has a colored Limit
Club of nine members. One of the
first men in the state to purchase $1,000
worth of War Savings Certificates for
himself and each member of his family,
total of $4,000, was DR.. c. H. Hines,
Of Edenton. On giving his check for
this amount, he said, ~ would as
gladly give it as lend it if giving it
would any sooner end the war;
On the other hand, it is known that
the people with small means have sub
scribed in keeping with their ability.
Some have made genuine sacrifices to
meet their obligations called for in
the War Savings Campaign. ...
An old man who had been saving for
years that he might own home and
plat of land in his own life time said
when he was called on to buy War
Savings Stamps, that he had waited
this long to own home and that he
would gladly wait five years longer, if
lending his money to the government
woul help win the war.

FORGING AHEAD.

In the midst of the general social un-
rest, it is gratifying to note that many
good things have been said in recent
months in behalf Of justice. The sub
jects touched have been many and
varied, but for the most part come un-
der the heads of Patriotism, Valor of
Soldiers, Industrial Opportunity, Lynch
ing and Disfranchisement. Newspapers
and public speakers, north and south,
have had very favorable things to say.
1t is now the unqualified duty of the
race, in every part of the land, to work
for the crystalization of these fine senti-
ments into concrete rality; in other
words, proceed on the ground that they
all meant what they said from their
hearthout, and not from their heads up
Put it up to them to deliver in con,
crete form; let the fine words be turned
into living deeds, while the time is op

Raleigh, N. c., July 1s.-''We believe
that the time has come when in the
home, in the school, in the church, that

It's Purposes and a Brief History.
The National Negro Business League
was organized in 1900 at Boston, Mass,
in response to call issued by the late
DR.. Booker T. Washington.
In 1915 the Business League after
fifteen years, returned to Boston to ceIe-
brate the fifteenth anniversary Of the
Organization. 1t was on that occasion
that DR.. Washington delivered his last
annual address to the Business League.
The following November he passed
away. It, therefore, seems appropriate
to publish an extract from his Boston
address in which he summed up the his
tory, scope and purpose of this League.
The, National Negro Business League
has met in the following places: 1900
