PROGRESS OF THE NEGRO Among those of his own race, the negro of the United States has no more sincere and unselfish friend than Dr. Robert R. Morton, successor to i Booker T. Washington as president of Tuskegee Institute. Dr. Morton knows the weaknesses and shortcomings of his people, but he realizes, as well, their capabilities and their possibili ties. It is indicative of the character stics and methods of his leader among his fellows that he gives considerate attention to the progress they have made and are making, and that he seeks to encourage them by commend ing their industry and fortitude rath er than by emphasizing and, magnify ing their failures. There is much in the record of the past half-centry or more, upon which to base Dr. Morton’s forecast of great er accomplishment in the future. It is not forgotten that the Negro, speak ing collectively, is often unmindful of his own economic welfare. Cen turies of servitude tended to make him dependent and improvident. Thus it seems more or less paradoxical to state that the remarkable progress of the race since the day of emancipa tion is traceable directly to co-opera tion among its members and help by their white neighbors and friends. Dr. Morton cheerfully and generously ac knowledges, on behalf of those for whom he speaks, the helpful consider ation shown by the Southern people for the Negro. But the patronizing solicitude displayed by some of their northern friends has not been the re constructing and redeeming influence which has advanced a race from ab ject ignorance and dependency to a position which probably has never been attained by any other subject people in so short a time. Dr. Morton calls the atention, not only of his own people, but of the people of the Nation as a whole, to the fact that since the year 1866, the number of negroes owning their own homes in the United States has in creased from 12,000 in that year to 650,000 at the present time. In the year following the Civil War, 290,- 000 farms in the country were being operated by negroes, whereas mem bers of that race today own and till approximately farms. In the same period the number of busi ness institutions conducted by negroes has increased from 2,100 to 60,000.

Rocky Mount, July 21.—Joe Jones, local negro, was killed; Policeman Bailey grazed by a bullet, and the strap of Policeman Robertson’s bil let shot off in a pistol battle at Five Points, in the heart of the business section which occurred Nvhen these two officers and Policeman Denby attempt ed to arrest the negro. In the battle a bullet from the neg ro’s revolver struck the buckle of Pol iceman Dudley’s belt, ;which thus sav ed his life. As it was, the bullet glanced off the buckle and scraped the skin on his stomach. Bullets came so close to Policeman Robertson that one cut the strap of his billet, which he had in his hand. The negro also fired directly in Officer Denby’s face as he closed upon him. The officer is declared to have ducked just in time to escape the bullet which, he states, w |i fired at surh close range that it was almost in his face. Several bul lets from the officers’ pistols pierced the negro, who then dropped his gun and after standing still for a minute or more, dropped to the pavement, death came almost instantly. The three police officers were given a preliminary hearing before Vice- Recorder Alexander in municipal court I and cleared of all charges in connec ■ tion with the negro’s death. City So licitor W. L. Thorpe acted for the State at the hearing, while Mayor T. T. Thorne appeared as counsel for the three policemen. At the trial . the three defendants waived their rights and took the stand, as their counsel stated it was their desire that the pub lic know all about the affair. Rela tives of the dead negro were also noti fied of the hearing. BUILD A HOME NOW!
