writer's not a few in the south who
are quite a match for their white
contemporaries" They frequently
/ find occasion to contest statements
made in the white dailies, to challenge
positions, TO expose fallacies and IN
consistencies, and to set argument
against argument. In these polemlcs
the Negro cannot be said to be found
wanting. Seldom is there eloquence,
seldom is there circumlocution, sell
dom any fine writings or pedantry,
but there is straightforward speech,

Besides, many of the papers, large
and small. are strengthened by the
svndcated editorials of contributing
editors. A half dozen able pens, the
pens of universitv-trained men. are
employed in this work regularly.
Practically all the papers also report
lectures, sermons. addresses. the

Every paper has correspondents in
all Of its territory and in states be-
yond that might be supposed to be its
TERRITORY. There are also news agen-
cies The most important of these
nv far is the Associated Negro Press.
Through special correspondents in
every city of the country it gathers
the racial news and sends this out
regularly to its large membership.
About seventy-fve papers receive
these communications directly, but all
get it sooner or later Nothing racial
escapes the Argus-eyed colored press.
The editorial writer, the reporter.
and the poet are ably seconded by the
nicture-maker. A half dozen very eff
fective cartoonists are providing SIN
gle papers or groups with the story
of current events: riots, lynchlngs,
travesties of justice, jim crowism, dis
reimbursement, and all the effects of
racial prejudice and hate. Everybody
can read picture. Nor does the scene
it coniures up fade out of the soul.
This press features two or three
classes of items Of a racial import.
Equal prominence is given on the
front page and in the headlines to
the wrongs and injustices inflicted
upon the Negroes because of color,
and to racial achievements, new ac-
tivities, new business firms and enter
prises. Negro benevolences, and the
like. Race progress-race persecu-
ton; that is their main story. But
third species of news ranks close
to these, sometimes taking pre-
cedence. news of the movements on
the part of the whites toward real
race adjustment on the basis of
Justice, news of serious efforts to-
ward racial cooperation. news of
fortnight utterances in advocacy of
their cause. This news they offer on
their front page under conspicuous
headlines.
The newborn prosperity of the
Negro press signifies a corresponding
neglect on the part of the colored
people of the white press. They will

Effective? | think so. Scores of
papers in the Black Belt are masters
of the art. News items such as these

usually a sting in the tail of the

deadly but disturbing.
Editorials one sentence long eX-

FOUND FINE FISHING
 IN WHITE MOUNT ANS

Walter Brawner, w. K. Bowen and others have returned from a trip into the White mountains almost as fa< as the road is cut out. They went al most to the source of White river, where the trout had hardly ever seen a white man and were therefore not quite so coy as trout usually are.
 They caught trout until their arms were tired and their hands sore from the pointed fins of the fish, the marks of which they yet bear. That. said Mir. BraWner, is the most beautiful coun- try in the world; every kind of a flower that ever grew, in his opinion, may be found there.
 Reverting to the subject of fishing. he said that as they caught the speckled beauties they stuck them into a nearby snow bank to keep them fresh. The snow is still there, the remnants of heavy drifts, though the air was so warm that one preferred his shirt sleeves.
 They also found excellent fishing at Stoneman's Lake. The fish there are large croppieS.
