The Tarboro Southerner has much
to say about (he colored commence
laent staged there Monday, the con
ception of the alTair b> tltv Super
vi.or, the orderly crowd of more th- *
thirty-five hundretl people aitd the fact
that the police did not have to lat
note of any misbehavior. It told al «
of the (rift to Supervisor llattie I—"
tie of a Kurd car, and k .
work anions the colored folks if.
Kdegecombe.
As the children say: "They have
nothing on us", for the conception ar-f
management of the Colored I'omnt e
ment in Martin must have been in the
same class with that of our
couty. Supervisor Mary Gray with tlw
co-operation of the teachers throur'
out the entire county did a cred.t
able bit of work in bringi'ii' together
the eighteen hundred or more
children ami hundreds of |uiriit> a- "
friends, and not one note of disco'-
v.as heard nor any sign of disorde.
throughout the day. The ten nilrua
coaches coming from a. far away s
Oak City discharged the passenger
and Supervisior Gray with th*' he!-
of several of the male teacher
handled the crowd alol held bark traf
flc until all the children were safely
in line; this wa.- done without the
aid of the police, who evidently h*'
confidence in the rood-naturetl crowd
apil in the ability of the Supervision
to handle the same. The one thin
