'Negro schools in North Carolina receive nore than the State University of Georg a loe?." he said. When asked what form he thought th^ ax changes n the ^tate should take. Mr.' do'.lomon said that he e? a classification, ax with segregation of < !s for particuar departments i:ke th Un sity. the formal School. State Aaylur* etc. He be-, ieves that the property tax in Georgia wi.i sever be abolished. but he does !*ee *n trio ' uture a modification of thi* tar. Mr. Holicmon d J rot say so. but in 1921 he State of North Carolina built four great j iormitories and made improvement.* at her State Univer.ity costing Si.400.000. pushng the equipment of the University of; ^'orth Carolina ahead of the University of| ."irgima. so that the institution of the Old s'orth State stands tod.- a* the strange-; n he country.

The questions that y >ur banker and your neighbors wart answered are these: Will you do what you say you will do? Will >ou pay your debts? Wiil you pay them promptly?
