The-Federal census of 111*0 TefKrrts:
that the negro death rate is 18.4 per
tflbnsand. as* against 12.8 fqr the
whites, and infant mortality averages
twice as high among negroes as among
whites, and the death rate, from tuber
- pulpsis and typhoid about three times
fcsvlligh. The life expectation of no
= ■, i / “t: J- & '
gri>qs Fs Reported as forty years, ps
against ye.ars for whites.
The economic loss involved in these
conditions is immense. It is estimat
ed that in the South more tlmn 200-
COO negroes are seriously ill all-<he
time from preventable causes —neglect.
Ignorance, unsanitary conditions. The
direct financial loss entailed runs
probably to a hundred million dollars
.. a year. Os the 224,000 negro deaths
in fife South each year, it is estimat
ed that 100,000 might be prevented—
another clear loss of at least SIOO.-
009,000.
But these conditions entail not only
a Vast economic waste, they consti
tute also a grave social peyil. Disease
recognizes no segregated area. It re
spectfe no distinctions of wealth or
class. America has found it neces
sary to. agajmst. Asiatic
rats, lc.st they, infect us with bubonic
plague. Much more is an insanitary
disease Center in any community a
focus of infection that menaces every
liart of it. *•
' Add to all this tin- humanitarian
obligation 'Which demands that we do
everything in our power to amelior
ate buffering and save life, and we
haVe an appeal whicii imperatively
demands remedial action.
ft is such considerations as these,
that have for some years brought to
ll gether annually the social and welfare
agencies of l*oth races in the observ
ance. of Negro Health Week,- the pur
pose of whMi is.to carry the message*
of hygiene to every colored home and
to enlist every community in a tlior
r ou£h-goiug campaign of sanitation.
The date set this year is the week of
April 1-7.
In this laudable effort the colored
people should have the hearty co-op
erati6n of every public minded eiti

I>.i\idsoti College lias* just expori
euded another costly lire. Watts dor
mitory haring ft ecu burned Sunday
motoring. The building housed about
i fifty students, and was a comparative
ly new structure. Plans are already
unfler way, reports from the college
m \
I stale, to replace the building with a
dorinitory that will he a credit to
any College.
Hiftt is the si iiit that has made.
PaVi&son one of the strongest and
most ix>pu#iv institutions (if learning
in the South. We wish her \(>o<l
speed” in her new undertaking. Por
ing the past several months the col
lege has been conducting a campaign
for funds with which'to replace the
Chambers Building, burned year,
and make possible the erection of oth
er hew structures, and the total must
now be raised to include a new dor
mitory. And' we ? believe the. money
wih be raised. Certainly after-her
work these many years
Davidson’s needs will he. recognized
K and ihct by the men who, received from
her the foundation on which tlieir
success was laid.
With the exception of her Church
buildings believe* (be Southern.
Presbyterian Church has no greater
asset that Davidson College, and we
believe the members and friends of
that Church will arise to the occas
ion and see that her necessities are
i granted.
AN OLD GAME.
President Harding lias not shown
much originality since he has been in
the White House. That is one reason
he is there. When the Republican
bosses met at Chicago at the last Re
publican national convention they
were careful to finally decide on a
maiy whom they knew would listen to
them. That is the reason Mr. Harding
was finally chosen. , And in the mat
ter of tilling vacancies in his cabinet
he has followed the rules in the ancient
game, of “follow the leader.” He has
chosen bosses and the friends of boss
es in almost every instance, regard
less of public request or public crit
icism. His latest act in this time
worn game is the appointment of
Senator New, one of the lame ducks
of the November election, to be Post
master General to succeed Mr. Work,
[the present Postmaster General avlio
on March 4th will become Secretary
of the Interior to succeed Mr. Fall
who Ims resigned under fire. Mr. New
didn’t e.ven have the support of the
Chairman of the Republican Congres
sional Committee, but he did have the
support of Senator Lodge and a few
other “bosses” and lie is to get the.
place. He was licit thought enough of
by The people in his State to he re
elected last November, but he is liked
by the Old Guard, by Hie men wlic say
what is to be dune, by the leadersjfrlio
set the example, for the President, and
therefore he is to get a cabinet posi
tion.
THE STATE SANATORIUM.
•VpV 1
111 speaking’jbefore the committee
investigating yoiklitfcuvs' at the State
sanatorium for tlie tcentinyut pf lav
bereulosis. a traveling map who had
occasion to visit the hospital te.sl filed
that he found “filthy conditions’ in
the kitchen.
An ex-soldier who was a patient in
the hospital for some time, declares
he was fed "sour milk mi ml rotten eggs
on dirty linen.” Practically every
person appearing before the committee
lias made charges that indicate, that
something is radically wrong with the
management of tlie hospital.
We think tin* State did right to
make the investigation. If there was
ever a hospital that should give its
patientfrihe best treatment possible it
is this one which is trying to give new
life to people afflicted Villi the. White
Plague. Some the reports almut
conditions at the hospital in all prob
ability have been exaggerated, but
where there is so much smoke there
must be some fire, and we are inclin
ed to believe .filings at the hospital are
not what they should be. Dr. Mcßray
er, head hf the. sanatorium, is yet to
be heard.; He is an exceedingly smart
man. one of the best in the country in
his line of work, but he will have to do
a great deal of explaining before he
will satisfy the State that conditions
at his institution are what they
should be

TREMENDOUS INDICTMENT.
Tlie Charlotte News suggests Ihat
when we come to the conclusion that
“things are not going just as they
should,” and when everything seems
dead wrong, we might consider the fol
lowing statistics as a reason:
We spend every year $2,100,900 for
tobacco: $1.000.000.(100 for movies : 82,-
OOtI.WOiOOO for candy: $1,950,000 for
perfumes, cosmetics., etg,; ,8.>00.000,000
for jewelry: $350,000,000 for furs.
$300,000,000 for soft drinks. $50,000.-
000 for chewing gum: $3,900.000 000
for joy rides, pleasure resorts and the
like. For luxuries w« spend $22,-
700,000,000. Against this We spend
over. $1,000,000,000 for education;
$650,000000 for grafted schools : $150,-
OOOJMH) for colleges and professional
schools; $100,000.60 for public l high
schools; $100,000,000 for public high
schools: $20,500,000 for fiurmal schools
and $25,000,000 for all church schools
a(id colleges.
And the.se statistics cause The
News to remark further that “where
one’s treasure is, there one s heart is
also. r i>ie atipvj>narruted ®tatis£WM
would indicate, therefore, that we
have little heart, proportionately at
least, for those' things 'that would
i bring about the conditions wc. desire,
the social locations, the political ad
justment, tif?‘ moral stamina, the re
ligious steadfastness and all those
more permanent attainments that we.
know in the innermost depths of con
sciousness, are alone worth whdo.
‘ The figures represent a tremendous
indictment against the people of this
country in the mere mutter of their
stewardship, a frustration of the pur
poses for which wealth was intended
that, is enough 1/ make us blush not
only but to be appalled by the one-Sid
edness of our heart*interests.”
MOKE MILES AND LESS AITDS
NEEDED.
“Seft your Ford umf buy a mule,
was Judge thaw’s order to a man who
was arraigned in his court at Dobson
for unlawfully operating an automo
bile. Thq order of the court further
specified that the aforesaid man shall
not own or operate an automobile for
a term of two years. If he violates
this order of the court, he will serve a
sentence, on the chain gang.
The order of Judge Shaw seems to
indicate not only that the Judge wants
to ke<4P this particular man out of an
auto for two years, but that he feels
too many people, have autos when they
shoulct have mules. And that is a
fact. An automobile is all right, to
be sure, when it is used for legitimate
purposes, but there are hundreds of
people how who ge.t. in their ears on
Sunday morning nnd stay in them un
til Saturday ni™t. Work has given
way to the craze for riding, and the
fact that these people have to have
money to operate the ears leads them
to the habit of carrying whiskey or
women, two of the greatest evils of
tlie day.
This country will prosper more when
we have more, mules and less auto
mobiles, or if you please, more work
ers and less riders.
The City of /Concord has just in
vested about in a modern street
cleaning machine. We. think the mon
ey was well spent. We have hun
dreds of thousands of dollars invested
in paved streets here, and the sweep
er will protect them, making their life
much longer. It is to be regretted
that the. machine could not have been
in operation here while all of the pav
ing work was underway, for the*
streets have been unusually dirty re
cently, but it will not be too late for
some of the. streets, and will mean
much especially to those persons in
front of whose homes piles Os rock
and sand will be placed for street con
struction. for dirt( is always left when
the rock and sand are moved.

THE CONCURB TIMES
1 CONDEMNED MEN WATCH
WILLIAMS WALK TO DEATH
Usually Laughter and Talk Resound
. Along Death Row in State Prison,
But Not So Last Night,
i Raleigh. X. C., Feb. 28 (By the As
sociated Press).—Seventeen men. all in
'a row of “death cells” tomorrow will
watch Rob Williams, negro, the eigh
teenth and last added member of their
group, walk down a long, narrow run
way into the small chamber of the
electric chair at yio state prison. Not
many minute,s later, through,steel-bur
red windows, they will see an under
taker’s hearse drive away with the ne
gro’s body.
i Usually, laughter and talk are re
sounding along death row. But to
i night, in striking contrast, silence
} reigns. The thought of witnessing
jpart of the same scene which'may
mark the end of their lives has crowd
jed out the jovial spirit of the; condemn
ed —an attitutie on part of the
| men sentenced to die that has surpris
jed almost eyory visitor to the prison.
One would expect quietude and im
atmosphere of despair all the time in
.this colony of men. Prison officials,
j however, state that there appears to
be a concerted effort on the part of
j each man to cheer the others and to
; hold out hope that perhaps something
.‘will happen to prevent the last walk
to the electric chair. Each of the
prisoners has acquired a smattering
knowledge of law as a result of court
(runs. A large part of the time is con
sumed in arguing their cases, telling
jokes and laughing.
Williams, after having been in the
hands of the law on other occasions,
was convicted of the murder of Spe
cial Officer Bradley Cribb, at Fair
Bluff, when placed on trial at White
ville. The slaying occurred Thurs
day night, January 25. After the ne
gro’s capture, the gfand jury returned
» a true bill at .11:30 o'clock January 20.
Williams went on trial at 2:30 o’clock
the afternoon of same day. He phad
“not guilty.” A verdict of guilty had
been returned, sentence of death pass
ed and Williams placed oh a train on
route to Raleigh before-10 o’clock that
night.
Wilmington’s Light Infantry, of tlie
North (’arolina National Guard, stood
with fixed bayonets at strategic posi
tions about the Columbus county court
house while, the trial was being held.
Throe guardsmen, with gleaming bayo
nets, surromi<|ed The v ;/;o in the

States, Canada, Mexico, or Cuba : talk

edness to the Master Medecine.
Among them is G. D. Welch, of South
Gastonia,, who says:
“Tanlac has fixed me up to where I
fbol like an entirely different person.
For four pasr T have been trou
bled with-an awful case of indigestion
and was. almost a nervous wreck. I
have been treated in every wa| imag
inable a«d have been examined more
times than i can remember, but noth
ing ever, seemed to do me any good
until I ran across TanTac.
“My stomach trouble is all gone
now and I eat anything I want. I
also sleep fine and with the excep
tion of an injury to my side, received
in the World War, I am. a well man.
Tanlac has been my 4 salvation and 1
will always have a good word for it."
