SOUTHERN PINES, n. c., Mar.
27.-Around- Southern Pines and
Aberdeen there are two classes of
Negroes. The one is marked by
thrift and induStry-the other is the
comc-day, go-day type common TO
all communities. ii. A. Page, Jr.,
bought a large tract of land adjoin-
ing Southern Pines and he began
To put it on the market to sell, III
purely commercial manner, Just
ms other folks do with similar pro-
positions. He had not gone far be-
fore he found himself introducing
farm plan on a big scale, with
roads, and the accessories that make
farms, and then came an idea of
making section of home sites ad-
joining the town of Southern Pines
for Colored folks. This matter
rather evolved itself but Mr.. Page
finally reached the point where nc
set aside Sc acres, had roads cul
through it, the roads clayed, just as

Sa1dhillS, lots of various sizes from
the smaller building site to the big
ger one of an acre or more were
plotted by the engineer, and when
all was done the tract was ready
for sale.
The Colored folks had watched
the progress Of the plan, and many
OF them discussed with Frank Buch
an who is the selling agent for the
property, the prospect of buying 10.

until the engineer had finished the
location of the improvements, and
The roads were built and the stakes
set, and everything ready, and ther
he could talk definitely. The de.
mands were so numerous that il
was seen that the sale was destined

proposed to put price tag on every
lot and parcel of land, and let In;

il at the price fixed. This plan ap,
pcarcd to be acceptable, but later

fortunate disagreement which has
disrupted the great National Bap-
list Church of America may have
Lccn reached through a decision that
was handed down by the Supreme
Court of the State of Tennessee i'll
the great Baptist lawsuit, pending
before it for some time. The deci-

associates, C.. II. Clark, J. p. Robin

"The intelligent Negro is baffled
and angry. lie knows that the
great mass of his race are ignorant
ard that their lives are degraded.
But he blames this ignorance and
degradation on the intolerance of d
people which has discovered it is
white. He reads the history of the
East and the South, and he is not
ashamed of his Color. He is proud
OF it. And if the intelligent Negro
of today is bitter, pessimistic and
intolerant-well. complacency, OPP
tiInism and tolerance have never
been virtues of the oppressed. The
Negro may yet convince the white
men that antipathy to color is not
an instinct, but the consciousness Of
wrongdoing"

COMMANDERS OLD AND YOUNG
Interesting Comparison Of Great Lead
ers Of the World Conflict and
Our Civil War.

The French correspondent of the
Army and Navy Journal, ]. B. Gau-
treau. comments on the maturity,
not to say advanced age, of the gen.
erals victorious In war. OF the
three marshals, 118 generals Of dlvi-
sions and 251 generals Of brigades In
the French active service, the young
est OF the brigade generals is forty
four; the youngest general of division
is fifty; all the army group command
ers are beyond sixty. 1t Is a contrast,
Mr.. Gautreau says. with the wars of
the French Revolution, which brought
to prominence generals who were
scarcely more than twenty-five, such
as Bonaparte, Hoche, Pichegru. and
other great soldiers.
1t is not necessary to go back so
far as that to find groups Of military
commanders comparatively young.
Our own Civil war supplies enough.
To mention the oldest of the promi-
nent generals on the Union side, Hook
er was forty-nlne when Lee beat him
at Charlottesville Meade, forty-seven
at Gettysburg. Sherman was forty
four when he started from Atlanta to
the sea. Grant was only fOrty-three
at Appomattox, Mcclellan thirty-six
at Antietam, Sheridan thirty-three
when he galloped to Winchester.
OF the Confederate leaders, Albert
Sidney Johnston was fifty-eight and
Lee and Joe Johnston were fifty-four
when the war began; Longstreet was
forty. Stonewall Jackson, whose
beard and piety are to the schoolboy
evidences of extreme age, was only
thirty-nine when he was killed at Chan
cellorsville. Hood was but thirty-three
when he took command against Sher-
man
