NEGRO WORK PAYS ITS WAY. i Raleigh, K, C. Feb,?Work done ' with Negro farmers in North CuroJina is.paying-its-way according to a recent summary of reports from the local' colored agents by Prof. C. R. Hudson, State Agent in charge of this work. Mr. Hudson states that' about $50,000 is now being spent for ~ all phases of agricultural extension " work with Negro farmers. For this, the eighteen men employed as farm L ? .genf. tint.- been?responsible i for a gain of $115,209 in new wealth .* "created or saved. Mr. Hudson .finds that the 18 local I agents crested $90,245 in new wealth J ^ due to' the fact that Iho demonstration i under their supervision have made increased yields above the average ct value of the crops affected, bring in this much money. In addition, these through cooperative effort an additional $18,964 which makes a total, of $115,209* on the original investment of $50,000 made for work with men, women, and club members last yeaj. -jtgtirig Ihs* frl*" ii Hir*^**K' -r~- wealth created for "" ,,* negro farmers, the agents have earn ed $31.29 for the State each day that they have been employed. - "This does not take into-consideration the soil improvement work being done, the pastures established,, the livestock imprpved and the fact that the Negro farmer is being help,ei to adjust himself to?new farming . renditions. These all pplnt to a bet- j ter citizenship" and a higher civilizatlon among tho negroes," says Prof. Hudson. ' i ?

McAdoo did' attend to legal business for t^ie Do-j heny oil interests, and frankly ad-! mits it.

It will be remembered that wnrn Mr. McAdoo retired from Hie cabinet,* he stated that he did so Ijv order tnat he might return -to theja?racticc of laV art! make some money, fi - * himself and family to.live on. He stated and it ia known to be a fact, that the" pay of a cabTnet pfticer was not sufficient for him to meet his ex penaea and lay'up something for a rainy day. He had served his country ably in its moat seridus trials, nnd aa the crisis had been weathered, he considered tlwft he owed a duty to himself and family?to VV (ft e'enmore money.

But, unlejs something more damaging than has so far ohms out is produced, after the little flurry . of a "few days, the people will see McAdoo in his true- light, and will be more determined than ever to nominate him.?"Durham Herald. i^'na, ,im ,m a^ m. ?? ^^.umuhuii, ^ B ?? l^i 9 fl ?, . 0 t?H " "v : ' ? * *8 ordinary qualilossessed a rare ad human kind-' " HI ! pay, tribute to honesty and in- , 1 the business wd we aak- you u can help us. v ? ank your bank.
