TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

125 Years Ago Today-Theophil
Gautier, (Goat-yay) was born in Tar
hes, France. He wanted to be an
artist, but before he was 18 he had
displayed such brilliance as an es-
sayist that Sainte-Beuve and other
eminent intellectuals took him up
and made him one of Frances most
popular writers. He justified their
Judgment and faith by publishing.
when he was only "a, Mademoissele
de Maupin, which is rated as one of
the best short novels in any language
However, despite the example of
Gautier and numbers of others who
might be named, one is less likely to
produce masterpieces in youth than
in middle-age, as you will find later
on in this column.
so Years Ago Today-An earth
quake rocked Richmond, Raleigh
Cleveland and Memphis and was felt
in 20 States; raised the entire town
of Summerville, South Carolina, two
feet; for miles through the marshy
Carolina coastal plain opened out deep
tissures in the earth from which jets
of sulphurius mud spouted; swallow
ed small lakes and changed courses
of rivers and made a shambles of
Charleston, S. c.
In Charleston an environs 81 were
killed and $5O0,OOO,OOO damage in
flicted on property and crops.
But this was only the second most
severe earthquake in U. S. history.

lence and affected the greatest part

the organization, as well as represent
tative Negroes, making in all a mem
bership of about 500, but it is not a
Negro organization. The governor ap-
proves of the organization and en-
dorses the membership.
The Negroes of North Carolina are
not asking for or desiring any social
recognition; all they want is equal
provision for health, justice in the
courts, equal opportunity for educat-
ing their children and earning an
honest living. There is cooperation
and understanding between the races
among the bootleggers and in the
brothels, hence I see no reason why
there should not be mutual under
standing and cooperation between
the races on the higher level for the
general good of all. AS to the races,
think all agree with the famous state
ment Of the late Booker Washing
tom I'm mutual understanding and
b. siness we can be as one as the
hand. and in all social matters as
separate as the fingers"

OTHERS VIEWS
HOEY'S ERA.


To the Editor:
With the inauguration of Governor
Clyde r. Hoey in January an Ezra OF
Good Feeling" will dawn in North
Carolina, similar to that which char
acterized the administration of Presi-
dent Monroe, more than Century
ago.
Governor Hoey will become one OF
the most popular governors, if not
the most popular, the State has ever
had to serve its people. He Will not
carry malice into his administrator
against any man or organization.
He will give a square deal because
he does not know any other deal. he
is both a superb statesman and
Christian gentleman, well schooled in
all the arts of tact and graciousness
so appreciated in polite society. Those
who expect him to visit reprsals on
his enemies and opponents when ne
comes into power will be sadly dis
appointed, he is too big a man to fol-
low such a course. 1t will not be
surprising to those who know him
we'll, to see DR.. Mcdonald, Sandy Ora
ham, Willie Lee Lumpkin and any
other of his most active and strong
opponents, sitting at the governors
table enjoying hot cakes and sorgum
with him before he has been in the
governors mansion two months.
Governor Hoey will offer a well
conceived and popular plan of gov
eminent to the next General Assem-
bly,. It will not bear any OF the ear
marks of snap judgment but will be
so fair and just that it will appeal to
the intelligence of the people and ex-
cite their admiration. Moreover
Clyde r. Hoey will be Governor of
North Carolina for the four years of
his administration, no individual or
organization will have anything to do
with his final DECISIONS he will listen
attentively and patiently to all who
seek to advise or influence his action
and then decide the matter as he
honestly thinks best. at
It is a safe bet to assume that Mr..
Hoey will use all his powers of per-
suasion with the General Assembly,
in his efforts to put over his legisla-
tive program. His program will be
liberal but just and reasonable. He
will chart middle of the road policy
and strive to win the support CT the
extremist in both wings of the party.
Under his wise leadership, the demo
cratic ranks will close the breach and
again become a powerful fighting or
ganization for honest and efficient
government.
In nominating and electing Mr..
Hoey the Democratic party in North
Carolina has again displayed the good
judgment 1T has so long been credited
with, with due difference to. the other
excellent geneltmen who aspired un-
successfully to this great honor, Mr..
Hoey was the right man ii select.

IT'S TRUE

The only true white men" are al
binos! The average man (woman
and child, too) has a small amount
of the yellow pigment of the orientals
and small amount of black pigment
lack pigment in the skin, hair and
eyes.
Here we are talking about the
Average man again, and we're going
to take it all back about his being
the man everybody talks about but
that no one really knows. Every one
knows him, it seems, but he's a diff
ferent person to each! Letters have
been pouring in on us since we ask
ed here, who is the Average Man?"
and offered an unabridged Giction-
airy for the best description.
Beginning today, we're publishing
excerpts from one of the letters re-
ceived in the contest which will
close Saturday of this week
T. E. Rogers, Morristown, Tenn,
produces figures:
1.-The Average Man is 81 inches
tall, weighs $50 pounds.
He has an eighth grade education
with no specific knowledge of such
things as literature, civics, science or
politics. He has a vocabulary of T.
500 words, or about half that of
high school graduate. He marries at
an early age, has 2 to children, and
must support them on an income of
about $1,000 a year. He cannot give
difference between revolution" and
Al,rkt 4
political beliefs are inherited It is
unlikely that he could figure the il
terest on $500 for nine months, or tell
you readily how many square feet in
an acre. He could not begin to ex-
plain clearly how the Presidents is
nominated and elected"
Well another Tennessean, Alex B.
Trent of Rockford, has some figures,
too: "The average man is six feet
tall, weighs 160 pounds, has dark hair
and blue eyes. He is handsome and
dresses neatly His favorite sports
are swimming, tennis and hunting.
He is college graduate, and is at
home in discussions of science, reli-
gion, politics, business and sports. He
has an office position and his salary
is $3.50 month. He is a good mix
err" with friends in all stations of life
and his name is in the membership
of at least one lodge and few clubs
and societies. He recognizes his OBJ
legations to society and guards his
voting privileges jealousy. He goes
to Sunday school and church every
Sunday"
Which shows you what a difference
of opinion there is about the Aver
age Man. Doubtless you'll be sur
prised by some of the information
of his correspondent swill give here
tomorrow
In the meantime, send in your own
word-picture of the Average Man. Ad-
dress Clark Kinnaird, care this news
