Negro Leadership

recent editorial in the Monroe Morning World
stressed the need for Negro leadership in raising the
economic, educational and moral levels of the Negro
Since then the other publications. some white and
some Negro, have given attention to the subject
In the past most Negro leaders have left crime to
agencies technically responsible for combating 1.-THE DO
lice, courts and probation officials and they have
fought their battles against what they believed to be
the root discrimination
But, with the ever-increasng Negro crime rate
there is evidence that this attitude is changing
series of articles this subject has been carried
by the San Francisco (Caif) Chronicle and nation
wide Negro publication has made editorial comments
In an editorial, the national magazine had this
to say of the Negro leaders responsibility.
HE should be doing more, for he can il-afford to
sit by while few irresponsible members OF his race de-
stroy the rights that have taken years to obtain.
And no matter how much he disikes being singled
out as the logical keeper of his blood brother the con-
scientous Negro is compelled to assume that duty if
only in self-defense"
Giving its reasons for the series of articles the San
Francisco Chronicle said
In searching its recent series of stories on street
crimes the Chronicle found an ever-increasng number
were being committed by Negroes
Today many San Franciscans are privately express
ing alarm about this situation using sweeping generai
ties and quoting exaggerated figures
TO talk about the ugly fact of high crime Negro
rate without discussing the for it adds only to
racial bitterness on both Sides" .
The problem in San Francisco is one that is gener-
any Delng telt-but not met-in such cities as New
York, Chicago Detroit Kansas City, St. Louis and other
cities to which the Negro mgrations have been large
One of the best approaches to a solution seems to
be the adoption of policy taking shape-a policy
calling for development of Negro observation-disclosures

lions of fertilizer, and more ef-
fective insect control have in
creased their cotton yield from 3OC
to 500 pounds of lint per acre
their tobacco from 800 to LOCO
pounds, and their corn from FL to
55 bushels per acre.
Some of their corn is fed to their
livestock and poultry, but most Of
it is milled and sold as meal O.,
grits. The Garrison's grist mill,
acquired seven years ago, is the
pride of the family.
They do custom milling for
miles around. Their share of the
meal, taken in exchange for mill
ing, as well as the meal from their
own corn, is packaged attractively
in five and 10 pound bags and sole
in Pembroke and other nearby
towns.
This busy family still does all
OF its work, except during peak
cultivation and harvest of their
cotton and tobacco. However, as
the children marry and move
away, the family is turning more
and more to livestock. Of the fou,
sons, only James now remains at
home to help. He and his father
are full partners in the grist mill
and farm enterprises.

their small farm until 1871 when
it was purchased along with scores
of other farms for a military

their daughters continued to make

shown improved methods of food

1--WE MUST GET RIGHT TO
ENTER GODS HEAVEN"
l have settled down for Jesus
Christ
To obey His will as a man
To preach His word to every race
And lift Him up from land to land.
Christ said if l be lifted up you
sec
| will draw all men unto me
He gave His life to save the world
For all who would believe on Him
And not believe on Him in vain
He said
And you shall have home in glory
land
Where every race is welcome you
And it is not the color of a man
The love of God takes the colors
of all
If your heart is right with Christ
He said if | be lifted up you see
l will draw all men to righteous
lie.
A righteous life is Christ like
life
1t means to live a Christian life
each day
1t makes US love one another
And love loses sight on hatred this
way.
Love doesn't make hatred you see
It will drive away all sin
Color has got the world stirred up
And its all sin to begin.
To lead a sinful life is always
trouble
Because every race has got to die
We have got to love one another
To receive home in heaven on
high.
There are lots of things that were
made by man
But everything God made was
pure
Man learned about the human
races
And is trying to learn some more.
