SHEPARD DEP[ORES
RACE HATE ISSUE
Durham Educator Writes to
Governor Talmadge
Urging Moderation
Daily Dispatch BureqH.


Raleigh, July Ex-Governor Eugene
Talmadge, Of Georgia, has received
a letter from DR.. James e. Shepard
president of North Carolina College
for Negroes in Durham, urging his
excellency to refrain from attacks up
on the Negro in the governors cam
paign for the seat of United States
Senator Richard B. Russell.
Apologizing for the entry into the
discussion, Dr. Shepard quotes Solo
mon to the effect that che that
passeth by, and meddleth with strife
not belonging to him, is like one that
taketh a dog by the ears" but he sees
a difference in the fact that all race
antagonisims affect DR.. Shepard's
people. He, therefore, acquits himself
of being a foreigner intruding him
self into a matter that doesn't con-
Germ the Durham educator.
DR.. Shepard reminds Governor Tai
madge that it has been 16 years since
anybody made a Georgia campaign on
a race issue. The last of the race
baiters seems to have been Thomas
E. Watson. There is a parallel, too
in the fact that Watson conducted his
campaign on race lines and in ter
rible antagonism to President Wood
row Wilson,. 81 have read quite g
number of extracts from your
speeches." DR.. Shepard says, "and
do not find in them any charges that
such conditions as you attack are in
slightest measure precipitated by the
Negroes of Georgia or elsewhere.
observe with something of a shock
that you have sworn eternal hostility
to certain fanciful honors and recog-
nitions that may come to the Negro
1 often wonder why governors of our
Southern States do not become much
more excited over rights and pri-
vileges accorded our Negro citizens by
our Federal and State Constitutions
our congresses and legislatures, but
universally denied in practice, than
over things that the Negro cannot
hope to gain during the lifetime OF
any adult today"
DR.. Shepard would like to hear from
Governor Talmadge just how much
"the industrious, the intelligent and
the law-abiding members of any race
must do to win your friendship to the
extent that you will use your great
office to guarantee them their rights
what price must they pay to have
peace, rest, from ceaseless agitation
against them the right to participate

n the affairs of this country into

in the affairs of this country, into
which they were brought against
their will, and freedom from exploita-
ton in our politics? If there is a Ne
gro in Georgia making himself OBJ
noxious over any powers bestowed by
his government, I have not heard of
him. But a reading of your speeches
would lead an uniformed man to be-
lieve that the Negroes, even as Sher-
man, are marching on Georgia" DR.
Shepard then refers to the National
Democratic Convention episode in
which Senator E. D. Smith, of South
Carolina, "rudely and irreverently
walked out, leaving a trail of racial
rancor behind him" It so happened
that the praying minister, Rev. Mar
shall Shepard, was a North Carolina
man and is a first cousin of the Dur
ham educator. The college president
does not allude to the relationship.
Referring to Governor Talmadge's
oath to stand in the way of all move
ments towards social equality" DR..
Shepard says: Il have never under
stood how any intelligent Southern
white man can fear social equality at
sally denied political, educational,
economic and judicial equality. No
other people ever gained social stand
ing when denied every other equal
ity." The Negro does desire social JUS
tice, and he meets every day and in
every forum the carriers to that JUS
tice. The white man who makes all
the laws, sets all the standards of
education, fixes all the social cannons,
and holds a monopoly on all the
means Of promoting the general well
fare, refuses to live by his own enact
ments and unwritten commitments,
and holds the denial to the Negro of
the benefits of the white mans own
laws to be in the interest of that gen
eral welfare" The Durham man says
he cannot comprehend a race issue in
1886.
He closes his letter to the Geor-
gia governor with a reminder that
Henry w. Grady so years ago was
thrilling the world with his fine elo-
ouence devoted to peace and racial
goodwill The North Carolina Negro
asks the Georgia white man to ex-
tend that good administration of the
governor in behalf of the Georgia I'M
derprivileged whites also to the dis
advantaged blacks. 1.-THE thousands
and ten of thousands of underpri-
vileged Negroes, poems, sharecroppers,
the uneducated, and unprotected, do
they make no appeal to you" he asks,
begging the governor to forget the
Negro as a senatorial issue.

TOBACCO GREATLY
IN NEED OF RAINS
Dry Season of Past Week or
Ten Days May Damage
Prospects Here
CURING is STARTING
In Scattered Areas :m County Grow
ers Are Taking in Crop, Which
Is Producing Fair Quail
ity of Leaf

Tobacco in this section is greatly
in need of rain at this time, and UNI
less showers come within a very few
DAYS the crop will begin to deterior-
ate rapidly, in the view of farmers
who were here today. Rain has been
needed for week or more, and seri-
Gus damage is feared if it is delayed
another week or more.
The weather has been very hot
along with other sections of the coun-
try, but part of the time the skies
have been overcast, and there has
been prospects of rain, which, how
ever did not come.
Stands of tobacco are more regular
than might have been expected, in
view of the spasmOdic planting sea-
son, but the plants, nevertheless, are
in varying stages of growth and de-
velopment. Much tobacco needs top
ping.
Many fields are seen where the
growth has progressed to the point
where the plans are around two feet
high, but a tendency is seen for the
weed to dry out and wither, as the
result of the lack of favorable rains.
Growers say, however, that the crop
ought to produce a good quality of
leaf if only showers can be had from
now on and in the right portion. The
yield, of course, will be much small
er than was feared at the opening of
the spring, due to late planting and
the dry weather Most tobacco in the
country was planted about a month
behind the usual time, but growth
will be possible if the drought does
not persist too long.
Some curing has already started in
!. this county, though it is by no
means widespread. In the only in
stances where curing has been re-
ported, growers report fairly good
quality of leaf resulting. The early
curing was the result of necessary
efforts to save the tobacco from de-
terioratiOn. Most of it was weed
that was planted early, and there
was not much of that. It is under
stood to be rather smaller than usual
in Nrowths with somewhat fewer
leaves than the average plant pro-
duces in this section of the belt.

MANY DRIVERS
HIT BY NEW
TAG RULE

Motorists living in nearby Mary
land or Virginia, who also main
tain temporary or part-time resi-
dence here, must obtain District OF
Columbia auto tags and operators
permits or be liable to arrest, Po-
lice Court Judge John P. Nc
Mahon ruled yesterday.
The decision, rendered in the
case Of Miss Barbara j. Trundle,
of Ashton, Md, is believed to af-
feet thousands of out-of-town mo-
torists who work in Washington.
and like Miss Trundle. spend con-
siderable time IN the Nations Cap
ital.
Miss Trundle, who is a niece of
Police Court Warrant Clerk R. B.
Gott, was arrested about a week
ago and charged with having no
permit and improper tags. She
gave her local address as 1922
Massachusetts, Ave. N. w.
Had Address Here
On her first appearance in
court, her attorney, George Boden,
pointed out that his client was
born and brought up in Ashton,
Md, maintained voting resi-
dence there, and merely lived at
the Massachusetts, Avenue address
temporarily. Boden explained
that Miss Trundle was unable to
foretell just how long she would
be in Washington, as she is EN-.
ployed as a temporary clerk in
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration.
Miss Trundle, whose car bore
Maryland tags, was driving on a
Maryland permit. She testified
that she went back home every
weekend and that she had never
considered herself a resident of
the District.
At that time, Judge Mcmahon
took the case under advisement
with the observation that there
were doubtless many other motor
lists faced with the same situation.
d. C. Tags Cheaper
Both Maryland and Virginia
tags cost considerably more than
those issued by the District. Motor
lists purchasing such tags, instead
Of District tags, could not be con-
sidered attempting to evade the
law on that score, it was explained.
After finding Miss Trundle
guilty on both charges, Judge Nc
Mahon advised her to apply at
once for a local permit and Dis
trict tags. He suspended sentence
on her promise to do so.
Attorney Boden said he would
not appeal from the decision.
