Morehead City, June o.—Aat the morning session of the Baptist Seaside Assembly. Rev. I,ee Meßridge White. Kinston threw a boomerang into the o’d order of church work, deelar.ng that the modern church must change its .tactics from the church of 71 years ago and meet the every day’ needs or all its members especially the young people. The reason so many young people do not take any intereest in church work on returning from college is because the work of the church is not planned in a way that will interest them, he said, and pleaded for the application of Christianity to the three-fold man; body, mind and spirit. Women nurses are scarce in South America because nursing there is looked upon as a menial profession, ' MIGRATION OF COLORED ! MEN IS UNABATED Employment geucies For Largp Corpora-: tions Are Very Active. Raleigh, July 2.—“ The migration of j colored men from the farms to Northern \ and Middle Western industrial centers | appears to continue unabated, and South ern employment agencies report that ] agents for large corporations in the in- i dustrial centers are very active/' ac coi ding to the Monthly Review of the Richmond Federal Reserve Bank. Conditions in the labor market have not improved since the institution’s May | 111 Review, it is stated, “but have grown 1 worse/ Although a decided decrease in i the number of new construction projects j started during the past mouth in com- j pari.son with earlier months of, the spring., there has been no let-up in work on j buildings already, under construction, it; is declared. These projects are said to be enough to give employment to more than available. “A survey recently conducted by the extension division of Clemson College in South Carolina states that approximate ly r*0 f OOO negroes have left South Caro lina since November 1, 11)22,” rends the Review. “This survey was made under the direction of the chief of the extension division of Clemson College, and data was supplied by the county farm demon stration agents, leading farmers, bank ers, merchants and other community leaders, and it is generally believed in the state surveyed that the estimate of the number of negroes who have migrated is well within the facts.’’ The number leaving North Carolina and Virginia appears to be less than those migrating in South Carolina, but is sufficiently large enough to cause con cern in the agricultural section, it is. l staled. I “The migration in North Carolina and Virginia vappears to be based upon glow ing pictures of supposed conditions a waiting,the negroes in northern centers, but in South Carolina many negroes have left the state necessity. “In the sections of that state which have felt the full ravages, of the boll weevil, there are hundreds of negroes who have found it really difficult to get suffi cient money or credit to provide the bar est necessities of life, and many of the land owners for whom these negroes formerly worked are in little better po sition. Some 6 of the negroes who go North and West will, of course, return in time to the South, and signs are not lacking to indicate that many of them are finding conditions in their new homes far different from their expecta tions. but probably most of the migrants, and especially the younger and more cap able ones, will adjust themselves to their new surroundings, and will he perma nently lost to the South. “Whatever the effect of this move ment in the long run, it is hard for the farmers to 'aftjfwsf themselves to the shortage in available labor so suddenly, and at present many planters are wor ried over the outlook for the immediate future. The large plantation owners who depend upon tenant or liirgd labor are. of course, the chief sufferers from the migration, the small land owner no/ being affected as a rule, since a large proportion of his work is done by mem bers of his own family, and in cases where he rents part of his small farm., to one or two tenant families the rc’afion between landlord and tenant is so close that he has found less difficulty in hold ing his labor than the'man who em ploys many workers and comes in con tact with them through overseers. “While the farmers are the chief suf ferers from the shortage of colored labor, other Industrie are also hard hit. I,um ber mills are finding difficulty in secur ing sufficient Workers to keep their plants running to capacity, and brick yards report similar trouble. J Paving and road contractors throughout the fifth district could use many more workmen if they could be had at wages the con tractors can afford to pay, and city sheet and sewer work is being delayed im some cases by insufficient working forces/’ it is stated.

GOVERNOR FLIES INTO RAGE; HURLS WORDS AT TOM BOST Gets Crowd Around Him Then Bawls Out Tom Bokf For Daily News Edi torial. Special to Greensboro Daily News. Raleigh. June 30. —“You ain’t noth ing but a sneak and a common liar.” Governor Morrison told IV. T. Bost, the Greensboro Daily News corrcsjiondeut to day as the executive showed the newspa per man the door, and ordering him out the governor told the correspondent if “I ever catch-you in here again I will have you kicked oat." The episode occurred near noon today when the reporter was visiting the office which at that time had the executive force of governor, private secretary, two wom en stenographers, Miss Angelin Morrison, Roach, the office factotum. Brock Bark ley. representative of several prominent Dailies, and Secretary of State \V. N. Everett, who came in at the dramatic ex it of the news|mper man. The Governor left in the afternoon and it was impossible to interview him on the occurrence . For obvious reasons there was no effort to get an expres sion either from the office force or from by-standing friends. The newspaperman tjust said he went in the office in the us ual course of daily business and met Col. A". D. Watts and J. A. Hartness coming out. “I did not know they were in there or in town,” he said t<* It, E. Powell, who had chased him about town following a minor from the society editor of the News and Observer that a rather unso cial affair had been pulled off. "I sjKike to the governor's office force, daughter and himself,” the scribe ex plained, “and he did not speak. In a few minutes, which seems half an hour, he turned and said, “Toni, I don’t want you to speak to me any more/ I replied that I would respect his wishes and that the speaking to him had presupposed the ex istence of pleasant relations. “Governor Morrison then said that two weeks or more ago he had greatly complimented a news story on Montgom ery schools and that I had thanked him for the compliment; that the next day there was an outrageous news article on him representing him as offended at the write-up of Chairman Norwood and the failure of his bank, and that nobody was thinking about the bank. I told him that my news story embodying his criticism of newspapermen for not writing up im portant things about the state, was meant to be friendly and was in nowise critical of him. He spoke of a sharp ed itorial attacking him. which writing I dis claimed, insisting that the news story was in every way friendly and that his friends had thought so. The office was falling up and the necessary oratorical accessories had been assembled. I told him I was sorry about this editorial dis agreement, but we at least knew where we were. “Os course I wasn't talking much and was sitting while he spoke. We were in the public office, not the governor's pri vate place 6t business. I rose to move out. 'The world is big enough for us/ he said, and I agreed that it was fine to have such a.roomy world. ‘I don’t want you coming in my office, any more,' he said. Y have been giving you the news and you have always treated me so out rageously. You lay around and sneak about my office and you git out. If I ever catch you iu here again I will have you kicked out. You ain’t nothing bat a sneak and a common liar.’ “Which was one of the least platitu dinous, most understandable utterances that ever came from the executive office/ The governor did not tell the Daily NewH correspondent what was the object of Colonel Watts' and Mr. Hartness’ visit. The appearance of the two here did cause considerable comment. Bank Open Again.
