Hundred Negroes
From Asheville
Join In Exodus
Fully 100 negroes have left Ashe
ville during the past ten days, to
take employment in northern and
eastern states under promises of
higher wages, according to J. D.
Cole, superintendent' of the federal
employment service here. - -
Asheville was one of the last
cities to be affected by the so-call
ed exodus of negro labor, but now
it appears to be well under -way
here, Mr. Cole said. .
Charlotte has reported that about
1,000 negroes have left there the
past 60 days, and from Winston
Salem 1,800 to 2000 have deported
WhiIe there id no general infor
mation on the subject, it is believ
ed thatlabof agents are here ar
ranging transportation for the de
parting negroes. Fpr the moat part,
they are headed for Washington,
Detroit, and Philadelphia.
Information was received here
concerning a car load of negroes
headed north with promises of dish
washing jobs at fancy prices. The
car came to a halt and the negroes
were ordered to get out and go to
Work, findirj themselves

During- all the years that it has
been our privilege to know
him, .there has been n o
one whom we admire
more for his sterling worth and
his ardent Christianity than the
subject of this article. The edi
tor was raised in .the family of
a minister and has through the
years known many of the profes
sion and has learned to appre
ciate the worth and the work of
these men but perhaps there, is
none whom he has known as
harder workers and kindly christ
ian in his way of life .and his
preaching than Rev.' ,".Jakie"
Martin. He has all through these
years worked all the week Farm
ing as he does through the week,
never'does that keep him from
his Sabeath work and when it is
possible he has worn himself out
in the revivals which he has held
and all through the mountains
his name is known as a kindly
Christian man who has tried in
his day and time to make the
world better. He has not much
of this worlds goods and has
raised quite a large family, but
he has done the . best he could
with them all and while doing
this has felt the greater call to
give to all the secret and course
of his life. ' He has been pastor
of Free Will Baptist Churches all
through these hills and every
one knows of his work.. It does
one good to see the hearty hand
shakes given him and the happy
smiles when he comes into a
crowds On the train' every place
men and women feel the joy of
experience of which he has been
the agent. It means that the
best in their lives is tied up with
him as he has many and many a
time given them something Jhu)
made bright their lives ,
Mr. Martin is tireless in, his
work and does not save himself
when the good of the soul is con
sidered. We have seen him worn
out and almost his life given in
the order of the meeting. .
He is not a fan tic nor does he
condemn others who may not
think just as he does but with
indly spirit he eares for all men
and women and wishes them to
have what has meant, so ' much
for him. It, is a joy to have
known him and to have lived
with him and an inspiration for
things that, are beter. to hear
him. Mr. Martin has 'lived al
most 52 years but his life has
counted for eternity. . v.
