NEGRO LEAVING SOUTH BECAUSE Q

The South regards the negro question peculiarly its

attracted Northern cities by the scarcity of common
labor and the high paid alarm has spread the

Whether those reared amid the conditions which have
prevailed in the South will profit by coming to Northern
cities may involve doubt but they certainly have
right to seek the experience Efforts to retain them by the
exercise of force by petty prosecutions certainly have
had proper place in this land since 1865
If the South need of the full negro population it
should make advantageous to the members to remain
amid environments with which they familiar Perhaps
negroes would leaving their old homes

treated more There need be no indiscriminate

white planters to recognize that negroes like
themselves except that their faces darker in color and

Perhaps it might help to give negro fair trial in
regularly organized court if he is charged with crime

guilt may tend hold negroes in the South OF
any man. white black has the right to where his

A Simple Method of Edsine Lawns

When the surface of a walk is on the
same level as the lawn, it is a common
practice to trim the overhanging grass by
means of a spade or other sharp imple-
ment, leaving a small V-shaped trench.
If there is much of slope to the walk, the
rains often wash away the exposed soil,
and make reflling necessary at intervals.
Under such conditions it is better to
refrain from further trimming, and allow
the grass to grow. As soon as the roots
have gained a firm foothold, to prevent
erosion of the soil, further growth can be
checked for the remainder of the growing
season by running the fame of gasoline
blowtorch along narrow strip.
