‘TO HELL WITH THE LAW”
The Wagner-Van Nuys anti-lynching bill has been shelved un-
ta the next seaiion of eongrm. ,Ji^ massed men, probably
eitixens of Tennessee, shouting “to hell with the law,” seized a
Negro from the hands of a Tenn^ee sheriff Tuesday and riddled
hia body with ballets.
This was the seventli lynching in the United States this year.
It WiU »ot be the last The cry, ‘to hell with the law,” made
|>y the members of that mob is the unnttered cry of many Amer
icana where the law giv^ a Negro the rights of an American eiti-
ceo. Thoae six men. who di^taced themsetves , their state and
their country are doubtless “law abiding” citizens where mem-
bers of their own. race are concerned. A crime of the most serioiM
nature eommitted by a white man would not arouse in their
breast the thirst for human blood like even a crime of less serious
natnre eommitted by a Negro.
The crj of those Tennessee lynchers is a danger signal, not
only to Negro Americans, but to aU Americans of all races. It
raiaes the qnestioa of a break down in respect for law and order
in this country. It is the same spirit that lurks in the breast of
the kidnaper, the gangster and other lawless elements in Amer
ica. This kind of spirit having Negroes as victims in the begin-
liisg will not atop there, but its serawliy, blood.dripping fltgers
will, if permitted to -oontinue, tiejthje rope around the necks of
white people as welL
The Tennessee judge who rardered a'** real investigation'” of
the lyi^riiing may^find that there are more citizens in Tipton
Coiraly, the scene of the lynching who are supportera of the “to
hell with the law” sentiment. Be may find out after all that
tha investigation will turn out a farce and more of a disgrace

There is gathered at Kittrell College this week possibly the
largest gnoup of church workers in the history of the institution.
They have been called &ere we have been told for the purpose
of holding several afinual conventions of the A.M.E. church and
to Me what ean be done to jrebuild Kittrell College.
Jhe Carolina Times has ezpr^^ed its opinion on one other
Bibn concerning the matter of reopening Eittrell College,
and as far as we have been able to gather we have Hot moved
one inch from where we stood several months ago on that parti
cular subject. We are bitterly opposed to any attempt which the
A.M.E. church may undertake to reopen the school unless the
dBelals of the A. M.E. church are able to show where they are
giiiif to get money enough .to operate the school up to the stand
ard of other scho^ tiow being operated in North Carolina.
S^tiBient is alright, but it is not worth anything when it
eoMS to paying bills.. Those who are in favor, of reopening’ the
as far as we can see, are pc^essed tcith a bountiful
aatouat of church and school pride and very little or no money.
Wifli the several states of the south assuming more and more
tha burden of educating its citizens, and the tremendous amount
of money it takes to keep an educational institution even near
■tandard demanded by educational boards, it seems
for the officials of the A. M. E. Church to place on the
backs of |the membership of the church the responsibility of rais
ing enough money to keep the doors of a school open that is not
needed. •
Already there are too many second rate schools in North Caro
lina, and an attempt to start another should not be endorsed by
any aeosible person who wants to see the prpper kind of ^u-
eation given to i^egro yoxxag people. If Kittrell Coll^ opens
without flie needed amount of money it takes to, bring* the school
up to standard, any student who goes there to be trained will
when he attempts to go elsewher«>that he is without the
prop^ foundation to pursue further work in education.
As the burden of education is more and more assumed by the
we tor letting the state'have it. There is plenty of
wo A which flie church can do for the spiritual development of
tiw race without jumping in some&ing that is going to^^ce
the church in debt again. Kittrell College can be operated as a‘
home for superanuated ministers of the A.M.E. church and their
wivea at much less expense than it will take to operate a fii-st-
dais coU^e. -Here m a worttiy cause, and one which skordd be
carefully considered by the officials of the church before they
attempt to reopen Kittrell CoU(^e. ' ^

Free Government Grading
Now is the Time To Sell
Your Friends
Hi Ar.-Me0r€ laftd r—
W.B. Daniel
ers & Proprietors
When you sell your tobacco in Goldsboro you get, ad
vantage of free government grading. This guarantee?
every farmer a fair and honest grading of his tobacco.
There’s absolutely no guess work in grading your to
bacco. You know that when your tobacco has been
graded by a government grader that you will get the
price you are justly entitled to get. .
Buyers of All Large Companies
The buyers on the Goldsboro market of all large com
panies as have the same blying instruction^ from vhe
firms buyetia on other markets. In other words if j^our
tobacco should ibring $4i> per hundred pounds on a-
nothef. market^ you will get absolutely the same price
,on tho GoldaQioro market. Therefore you gain nothing
by going to more distant markets.
'-ii*
Savings to Transportation
The farmer who sells his tobacco on distant markets
stands a chance of losing money in the long run. The
cost of transportation alone will equal prq^ly a cent
or more per pound. Sh^ld yoii take your tobacco to "
-distaat^Btarket and run into a blocked aale^ you will
have .to remain- away from home over night. Certainly
the farmer’s time is valuable. Sell in Goldsboro and
make jhoney. —
