thought there will be a demand, and

Mr. and Mrs. James Sprunt, and the

Three mill villages are to be' equip
ped with the "Sanisep" tanks. Eour
hundred houses in East and West Dur
ham are to be equipped with this ex
cellent method of sewage disposal,
hree hundred and fifty, at Duke, N.
C, and three hundred and ten at
fooleemee, N. C.
The signing of the contract by the
Envin Manufacturing Company is but
another forward step in the welfare
work they are doing in their mill vil
lagesan effort to keep the employes
satisfied and produce living conditions
that will not endanger the lives of the
mill workers. The placing of this or
der immediately after declaring a ten
per cent, increase ' in ' salaries of mill
operatives is a sure indication that
business in the "South is booming and
that conditions are better than the
pessimist would have one believe.
The history of the life of the Ce
ment Products Company is of unusual
interest. It is a purely local concern,
although it has branch offices in At
lanta, Ga.. and Pittsburgh, Pa. It does
a splendid business in all the Atlantic
seaboard States and a mammoth bus
iness in the South. It is of interest
to know that every cottage on
Wrightsville Beach is equipped with
"Sanisep" tanks, as is every rural
school house in the county. Over one
hundred mills in the South have been
equipped with these tanks and in ev
ery instance they have proved satis

order to protect the health of em
ployes and others. Knowing this, and
wing the need of a system of sew
erage disposal of moderate cost ap
plicable to villages, industrial plants,
schools and other isolated buildings,
the Cement Products Co., of Wilming
'?n. X. C, has designed the "Sanisep"
sysiem of sewerage disposal. From
the beginning the system has . proven
a success. nnr ita maTinfntiirA has
marked the development-of a new ' in-j
dustry for the South. A large number I Point (Ga.) Manufacturing Co.'s Fair
f mills and schools in North Caro- fax Mills,; a 6,000-gallon tank and vil
lina, South Carolina and Georgia have lage equipment? River View (Ala.)
installed "Sanisep" systems. Among Mill, - village' equipment; Springfield
the recent installations are: Bibb Man- Cotton Mills, Laurinburg, N, C, vil
ufacturing Co., village equipment forilage equipment; Norwood (N. C.)
'wo mills at Macon, Ga.; Hawthorn , Manufacturing Co., village equipment,
Spinning Mills, Clover, S. C, two 'and Roanolce Mills Co., Roanoke Rap
large sewerage-disposal tanks; West ids, N. C, village equipment."
and in decreeing that no game ot
chance shall prevail at the fete
scheduled for this city next week.
- The members - were outspoken in
disapproval of carnivals, feeling that
organizations that need assistance
should and can be aided in other
ways. It was decided to address a
communication to Council expressing
the endorsement and thanks of Sorosis.

Many Are Drawing Their B.
and L. Savings and Heading
I For The North
That the migration of negroes North,
in search of employment. for the al
eged double reason that It Is easier
to; obtain wofk there . and because of
the promise of v flattering wages, con
tinues and that this exodus of -colored
labor not only - makes it harder to ob
tain1 labor here, but is affecting Wil
mington ...financiallyr a certain ex
tent; is, shown by; the remarks of a
prominent building and loan man who
yesterday stated that his company was
losing any number of building and
loan patrons that they were drawing
tneir savings out ana going North,
firm in the belief that they would ex
perience no trouble in finding employ
ment at 'attractive wages and would
be able to easily adjust themselves to
the climatic changes.
This gentleman stated that he had
lost fiye , excellent. : customers this
week; that each one drew about $100
of their, savings and had already left
the city. This, according to his state
ment, carries $500 out of the communi
ty .and it is only a very small part
of the amounts that had been carried
North previously by negroes in search
of wages more attractive than are
paid here. "
, Reports have reached the city of
the inconveniences the Southern ne
gro has ..been subjected to in the
North; the climatic, changes that, have
resulted in much sickness and suffer
ing, and yet he continues to head in
that direction because of the wonder
ful tales he hears of easily acquired
riches and splendid living conditions.
It is understood that a majority of
the negroes who are migrating North
are finding employment in the muni
tion plants, but, as one gentleman ex
pressed it, the war must necessarily
come to an end some time and then
all those who have employment will
be forced out, and in his opinion the
negro . who has been fortunate enough
to secure work at a fancy figure will
not be willing to work again for the
wages he commanded prior to his mi
gration, and the condition resulting!
will not be good.
The fear is voiced that it will rob
the Southern negro of the thrift that
is now his, because time has shown
that the man who earns good wages
is a free spender and saves little be
cause of the fact that it comes easy.
Building and loan men really know
he condition better than any one else,
for building and loan savings is a hob
by with the Wilmington negro. For
years they have toiled and saved and
there is something pathetic in their
leaving, for in the opinion of all it
means a departure from a custom of
years and the squandering of money
that was perhaps saved for some real
purpose.'
The migration of negroes is not
nearly so heavy as it was recently, for
at that ttme labor agents came South
in an effort to influence the colored
man to go North. They were success
ful to a marked extent, their promise
of money easily made and their offer
to furnish railroad transportation, hav
ing the desired effect on the hornjr
handed sons of toil. Various municipal
ities, however, enacted legislation
barring these agents from operating
in certain communities. However, it
is statejd that only recently labor
agents have drawn from this city's
i a ' a. TTt
auonng ciass Dy stopping ai Warsaw
nd otlle points north and furnish
pg negroes with transportation from
that town to their destination, the
negro paying his own fare from this
ity to Warsaw. .
It is hard jto estimate . What the ef
fect will be on the farm. With the'
hue and cry of "plant, plant, plant"
echoing across the country and the
Southern farmer's one best asset slow
ly but . surely leaving him, one can
draw his own conclusions as to the
possible shortage unless this migra
tion is stopped.
Our Country needs our money.
Shall we not respond, promptly, cheerfully, liberally? We must mobilize our
dollars to help our men and our Allies win a great and permanent victory for civili
zation. ' ' ... . " ,
