WAS ROCHESTER, N. "
MEMPHIS STILL IN THE LEAD
OF Largest Cities Boston Had the
Lowest Rate, New York Second
and Chicago Third.

New York. Homicides in the

was but 1.3 for every 100000.
In general, the tables showed that
Southern states, with large negro pop
ulations. had the highest homicide

groes slain was from three and half
to seven times that of whites. The
average was slightly in excess of
four to one.

In connection with the formation
of Good Fellows club, is the fol
lowing communication received by
the Post-Dispatch from a business
man of Rockingham who is heartily
in favor OF the movement. Read
what he says;
Industries, of today, recognize the
fact that they must act in concert
for the good of ALL. This is attest
ed by the various organizations,
such as Cotton Textile Associations,
Lumber Associations, Hardware AS
sociations, Retail and Wholesale
Merchants Association, Teachers As
sociations, Even Ministerial Associa-
tions-and various others all too
numerous to enumerate. But-built
on concerted action for the good Of
ALL.
Religious, Moral, Economic, Agri-
cultural, Manufacturing, Merchan-
dizing structures, all, are built on
faith. Faith in that which we rep
resent, and that for which we stand.
So it is with our civic affairs-our
communities.
'All of us, am sure, concede the
fact that we need some organization,
or concerted force, to help us keep
afresh, and feel more keenly the
responsibilities, and duties, as keep
ers of the welfare of our community.
We must either Build, or we must
tear down. We cannot stand still.
If we contribute nothing to our COM
munity, we will surely get nothing
in return. Let's awake to our re-
sponsibilities, and arouse ourselves
from lethargy that is gradually
putting us in the class OF those who
also ran
We say that Rockingham is the
best town at all. If we are true to
our lest interest we believe that it
is; therefore, let's tell it out"
