A GREAT NEGRO SCHOOL

Last month Tuskegee Institute, Alabama's great institution for ne- gro education, celebrated it's 50th anniversary. To those who think the negro is persecuted and unap- preciated in the South, some incl dents of the anniversary celebra- ton may be enlightening.
 Speakers on the program in- cluded such noted white Southern educators and citizens as Dr. George Denny, president of the University of Alabama; Dr. M Ashby Jones, nationally known Baptist minister and son of "a Confederate officer; and others of almost equal prom thence.
 Tuskegee Institute founded by the famed negro educator and humanitarian, Booker T. Washing ton, in a shanty and an old church on April 12, 1881, with 30 pupils, has grown to be an outstanding institute of learning, with about 250 teachers and more than 5000 students.
 Washington died in 1915, since which time his work has been ably carried on by Robert Moton, another negro educator of high. ability. Both Washington and Moton met with fine success because of their pro- found understanding of the negro's problem and the real sentiments of his Southern neigkbars and friends. As a result of their labors

Nevada is going to hold the di- yorce trade of the nation by making it possible to secure divorce in that state after a six weeks resi- dence.

Preachers Are Losing
Their Leadership

BALTIMORE, Md.-That minis
tiers were losing. more and more,
their status as leaders of the Negro
race, was the statement of the Rev.
c. Y. Trigg, pastor of the Metro

observations made on recent tour
into the Southland, at the weekly
meeting of the NJ. T.. Ministerial
Conference. Tuesday.
According to the Rev. Mr.. Trigg.
the members of the clergy are rapid
ly being displaced by educators and
the latter are developing more
wholesome atmosphere in the South.
The Rev Mr.. Trigg was member
of the lnterracial Seminar which Wis
tied several Southern states under
the direction of Herbert Miller of
Ohio University 1t was composed of
ID Negroes and 10 whites.
Whites Are Violators
Pointing out that there are no ac-
counts of rapes during the whole of
the $50 years of slavery; that the
alleged cases of assaults by Negroes
are below the dozen mark. but that
mulattoes in the United States in
crease from three to four hundred
each year. DR.. Trigg declared that
social equality has never been the
quest of the Negro. but of the white
man.
Wherever the Nordic has set his
foot. he has been violator Of wom-
anhood,' DR.. Trigg declared.

Illness Declines
Not as Many People Down as There
Were a Few Days Ago

The prevalence Of illness de-
scribed, though perhaps not ac-
curately, as the "flu epidemic"
has declined in the last few days.
A week or 80 ago it seemed
that everybody you met on the
street told you Of somebody i'll
in his family. In some families
several persons were down at
the same time. The sick list is
still longer that it normally is,
but it is getting steadily shorter.
Maybe the improvement in the
weather has something to do
with it. The sun has been shin
ing this week, and there has
been less chill and dampness in
the air.
The University infirmary was
crowded to capacity a week or
so ago; yesterday there were
only % patients.

Ghost Writing

One of the worlds leading ex-
perts on ghost writing, John N.
Wheeler, president of the Bell
Syndicate, talked to the News
paper Institute here last Friday.
BY this time probably most
people know what the term
ghost-writing means, but for the
benefit of those who do not
give this explanation: Ghost
writing is the writing by one
person of anything that is
signed by another. The person
whose name appears is usually
some eminent man-Henry
Ford, for example-while the
actual writer is unknown to the
public. The politician, banker
manufacturer, athlete, or who
ever is the ostensible author, has
something interesting to tell but
doesn't know how to tell it. He
doesn't know what words to use
or what points to emphasize. In
short, he lacks the literary or
journalistic technique. That is
where the ghost comes in. The
ostensible author provides the
substance of the story-and the
celebrity of his name-and the
ghost provides the craftsman
ship.
In the last few years there has
been so much talk about ghost
writing that every prominent
man, if not himself a profess
sional writer, is suspected of
not having written what he
signs. This suspicion is fire.

shing wrote every word of his

Education and the State Debt

The legislature can prevent
this proposed backward step,
without imposing an unreason-
able burden upon any individual
or concern, if it will enact a
proper taxation law.
In his speech here last week
the Governor declared with
great emphasis the principle of
taxation to which he said he
was committed: namely, the i'm
position of taxes upon the citi-
zens of North Carolina in pro-
portion to their ability to pay.
And what is suggested as the
first step toward carrying this
principle into effect? An indis-
criminate horizontal cut of
10 per cent. in the pay
Of limited class of citizens
a 10 per cent. income tax (for
such it is in fact if not in name)
upon school teachers, college
professors, clerks, stenograph-
ers, bookkeepers, and other gov
ernment officials and employees
Such a course would not only
be a monstrous injustice to the
persons at whom the blow is
aimed. 1t would reduce the
purchasing power of thousands
of men and women scattered
through the state at a time
when an increase in purchasing
power is, by universal consent,
essential to business recovery !;
it would put the stamp of gov
ernmental approval upon salary
and wage reductions and set a
deplorable example for en-
ployers in general, thereby tend
ing to a further decrease in
purchasing power; it would
lower the morale of public SER
wants, the great majority Of
whom are assuredly not over
paid; and, particularly in respect

"The joy ride is over" said
Governor Gardner in his address
to the Newspaper Institute here
last week. PAY day has ar
rived"
What he meant by joy ride
had been explained in his pre-
ceding remarks; it was the
spending of money by state,
county, and municipal govern
ments for education and other
public purposes. The volume of
governmental borrowing within
the last two decades he gave as
one of the compelling reasons
why the state must now decrease
it's expenditures for education.
The decline of the textile in
dustry, the low prices received
by the farmers for cotton and
tobacco, and the general depres-
sion have materially reduced the
income from industry, agricul-
ture, and commerce in North
Carolina, and this is reflected in
a reduction of the public rev.
enue. If adequate appropriations
are to be made by the legisla-
ture, there must be sufficient
revenue to cover them. The al
tentative, then, is plain: Either
education must suffer or the
state must obtain the money to
finance it on a proper scale.
In. view of the resources of
the state, present and potential,
and in view of the evident abil-
ity of an important part of the
states business concerns and in
dividuals to contribute more lib
orally to the cost of government,
every consideration of prudence
and good sense demands that
North Carolina give decent
support to education. And any
thing less than it has hitherto ex-
pended upon education is GER
tainly short of decent.

Lloyd Caught on Fence
Turkey Hunter Has Unfortunate En-
counter with Barbed Wire

0. E. Lloyd, known among his
friends as Horse Lloyd, went out
for a turkey hunt Tuesday after
noon accompanied by his COL
league in the Carolina Barber
shop who used to be known as
Toad Terry but has shaken off
the nickname in recent years.
They were in the woods a lit
tie way north Of the village.
When Mr.. Lloyd essayed to
climb over a barbed wire fence,
and had one leg on one side and
one on the other, three or four of
the barbs caught him in the seat
of the trousers. The harder he
tried to pry himself loose, the
tighter they held. Mr.. Lloyd
was too eager in his pursuit of
turkeys to endure the delay,
and so he gave a powerful heave
for liberty. He achieved liber-
ty; the only trouble was that he
left an important section of his
trousers clinging to the fence.
After little while he decided
to come home because, in conse-
quence of his disaster, part of
him was severely chilled by the
cold wind.
AS to Mr.. Terry's nickname,
Toad: it was given to him in his
youth because he dwelled near a
watermelon patch and used to
eat so many melons that ne
swelled up. When he reached
mature years he moved away,
let up on the consumption OF
melons, and his contour no long
er justifies the name.
