TWO GREAT AMERICANS Among the many great, noble and outstanding Amer icans, there are two worthy of note and praise. Both were negroes and men of whom we should feel proud and honored. These two of whom 1 speak are Frederick Douglass and Joseph C. Pi’ice. Frederick Douglass, born a slave in Tuckahoe, Md., Feb. 12, 1817, did not allow this misfortune to be a hin drance or obstacle in his path to success. Eaj’ly in life he fled to Bedford, Mass., seeking free dom. Having found it, he soon became interested in religion, joined the church and dedicated his life to the upbuilding of himself, his race and the nation. He was a famous Aboli tion orator. By thrift, hon esty, intelligence and a de sire t o see his fellowmen placed upon a higher level, where they could enjoy free dom, libei'ty, and happiness and make a definite contri bution toward the upbuild ing of our great country, he rose to gi'eat heights in American politics and opin ions. He did much to overthrow slavery, and after the war he became recorder of deeds for the Distl'ict of Columbia, and minister to the Republic of Haiti. * His life should certaiply be an inspiration to all of us who want to help our race, k Aftac_u3-. ...w-jlUaMliMi.rt life of. service to his pcOple and na tion he died in Washington, D. C., in 1895. February 10, 1854, is the birthday of Joseph Charles Price, born in New Bern, N. C. He accepted Christ early in life and with the help of a faithful Christian mother cntei'ed Lincoln University (Pa.) He studied the ministry and was graduated with hon ors. He went to England as representative of the A. M. E. Zion church. There dur ing a meeting and in a speech he thrilled the church assembly and was called the “Worldhs Orator.” While there he received $10,000, with which he established Livingstone College in Salis bury, N. C. ()n Feb. 10th the members of the Zion churches will can\v about $50,000 to Liv ingstone to help carry on the fine work so nobly begun by him. Pr(3sident Grovei' Cleve land offered to him the min istership to Liberia, but he refused it, so he could help his people in the South, par ticularly in North Carolina. As to orator and worker for liettm' race relations he had no superiors. He ^dited a magazine called vT h e Southland.’’ After spwiding himself for his race and beautiful South land. he died October 24, 1893. praised throughout the world. The South is greatly in debted to the plant wizard who did so much to raise the status of Southerners in gen eral and agriculturists in particular. World wide honors were given Dr. Carver. Thomas A. Edison offered him $100,- 000 a year to come to Ea.st Orange, N. J„ but he refus ed, preferring to remain in the South. Dr. Carver’s work with Henry Ford help ing to develop rubber during the war was one of the great est contributions toward win ning the war. Finally, in this post-war era when many vexing prob lems are facing our law mak ers it is very timely for us to take time and know one of the world’s greatest and most outstanding scientists.

State Democrats ai’e saying (in regard to the Edwin W. Pauley affair) that “Truman can’t open his mouth w.i.thout putting his foot in it.” Look for a gi-adual exodus of Democi’ats fi-om federal jobs if the present trend continues—getting scared. Governor Cherry is study ing a plan looking to sui'facing 30.000 miles of fax-m-to-max-ket I’oads in the next 10 yoai’s. Sup pose you noticed that Lt. Gov. L. Y. Ballentine was one of the key figures at the huge farm bureau meetings held in 'Winston-Salem last week. F. B. has only about 45.000 membei's in Noi'th Caro lina. Yes, they all vote.

Hollis News NEWS AND COMMENT FROM RALEIGH CAPITAL LETTERS — By — THOMPSON GREENWOOD FREE — Comptrollei' Lindsay Wai'ren’s recent Asheville speech is now x-eaching various state lead ers—at government expense. Con gressman Herbex-t Bonner, who was Wari’en’s secretary succeeding him when he stepped up, merely had the speech printed in the Congre.s- sional Record. Now the august message is moving into the state in envelopes (fi-ee) fixxm the compti'oller’.s office. Question: If Warren is not I’unning for office, why the sudden attention to N. C. speeches? DR. CARVER DAY Friends and suixportei’s of the negro race the world over should be glad that con- gi'ess by joint I’esolution has designated January 5 as George Washington Carver Day. The bill passed both the upper and lower house with out one dissenting vote. Dr. Carver was born a .slave and was at one time traded for a race horse.

We have seiwice.s at our church eveiy second and fourth Sundays at 12 o’clock. Sunday school at 10:30 o’clock. “RIPE”—The talk ai'ound Ral eigh now is that Warx'en would I'athei- run for the U. S. Senate than for governor. They say he likes Wa.shington too well to leave it, and feels he can remain thei'e if he wishes to after retii-ing from the senate. Of course, thi.s is the half-way max-k between the big primai-ies and one can hear almost anything—as witness above. Rumoi'S won’t emerge from the stage of wishful thinkijig into the realm -of reality for a year yet. This headline always applies to your capital: “Raleigh Rife With Rumors.” PULPWOOD—You have been reading lately about the fact that the pulp mills aren’t getting near ly as much wood as they did sev eral months ago. This letdown is not the fault of the mills. The bad roads and the muddy fields have cut the flow of wood. How ever, the big- ti'ouble lies ,iji the OPA pi’ice ceiling for pulpwood. Many tree-g-x:owex's (as Pi'esident Roosevelt always i-eferred to him self in giving his occupation) find they can make moi’e money from their sales by letting their timber go for fix-ewood. The ceiling- price on pine pulp wood per coi'd in Noi-th Cax-olina at the shipping point is $7.60. In Maine, the ceiling for pine pulp wood is $12.75. guards—long hours on diid, roads. MISSIONARY—N o t h i n g has appeax-ed about it in the papers, yet, but the American Missionary As.sociation (lax-gely the Congi'e gational Church) i.s all set to spend $50,000 in Noi-th Carolina within the next five yeai's on pi’ograixx to raise the economic standards of rural negi-'oes—Sam uel A. Rosenberg, smai-t-as-a--wbip Jew now studying for his doctox-ate at the Univex-sity of North Cai'o- lina, is scheduled to go to work on this plan ax-ound June 15—at salai-y of $5,000 per annum and office and traveling expenses, Fearful that the idea might atti'act some -opposition from soi-nebody somewhex-e, the big-wigs have kept the project out of the papex-s un til this moment. They must think it is still 1860 down South. Rosen berg, Incidentally, formerly taught at Hampton Institute (nega-o school) in Virginia. Uree News SOUTH—In Noi-th Carolina, you can get only $8.10 for a cord of hardwood pulpiv»od. However, if you sold this wood in Maine you cDuId get $13.75. If you sell in Alabama, BToi-ida, Geoi-gia, South Carolina, North Cax-olina, 'Tennes see, you can’t get over $7.60 at the shipping point for pine pulpwood in the i-ough—thsit is, unpeeled. But if you happen to sell in Maine, Minnesota, Michigan, or Wiscon sin, you can get $12.75. If you sell in New Hampshii-e or Vex-- mont, you can get $13.25 for your pine pulpwood. In the South, you can’t get over $8.80, at the outside, for the hardwood you sell for pulp. How- evex-, in Vei-mont and New Hamp shire you can get $14.75. There is some pressui-e being applied to OPA now to get the ceiling on pulpwood i-aised. How ever, until this coixies thex-e will likely be a shortage of pulpwood in North Carolina. JOKE—Say, the Biblical Re corder is getting- some way. In the cux-i-ent (Feb. 6) issue in the joke column this little stoi-y ap- peai-s—either through carelessness ox- devil-may-eax-e spii-it: A WAC on furlough -went to see her doctor. “I came to see about an opex-ation,” the y-oung- lady told him. “Major?” asked the doctox-. “No, a second lieutenant,” replied the WAC. NOTES—Don’t be sui-px-ised if the school term is reduced to eight months in many i-ui-al. areas this year. Sc-ox-es of schools will have lost a month (20 -days) of school by Easter. Even if they run evei-y Saturday, many of them won’t be able to catch up—^there are only 20 Saturdays between now and July 1—that’s almost laying- by time. And if you don’t know what “laying-by” means, you just aren’t a good Noi-th Cax-olinian. The i-eeent prison breaks ax-e being attributed to ovei-xvorked prisonei-s and 'w-orn-out, listless FILENE GOOD WILL—Mean time S. P. Dean, px-incipal of a big negro institution at Columbia, in Tyrrell county, has been employed by thp Filfiie Gqodj-Will Func^U^ work w'ith negro cooperatives in North Carolina, at a salary of $3,- 600 per yeax’. He will begin his duties on M|ax-ch 1. Althoug-h as black as the ace you put so much confidence in last night in that spade bid, he has done more foi- the negroes of a half-dozen North- eastei-n North Carolina counties than any other pei-son. The Pil- ene donors have set up a fund of $22,500 to cai-ry this pi--oject. And so a big North Cax-olina dogwood blossom to the late Fi- lene. Roosevelt-loving Boston mei-- chant, and to the Congregational Chui-ch, and to the University of North Cax-olina, whose extension sex-vice will head up both pi-o- granis. Here’s hoping that the 11X01 -who s]iai-k the drive do not let their ideals run away with lev el-headed thiiiiking- in their efforts to improve the lot of the Southex-n farm negro. GOODBYE—Is it goodbye to Washington for Oongressman R. L. Doughton, this state’s most powerful political figui-e? Last Thursday the bi-ainy chaii-man of the House Ways and Means com mittee told a Noi'th Carolinian vis iting in AVashington that he was conisidering- not running- for re- election. Of coui'se he has said this many times before. Then on Friday Mi's. Doughton passed-away with a heart attack. Although he has his personal daughter, Reba, in Washington to help him chat W'ith the folks from home, there is some indication n-ow that he may retire and come back to his house -on the creek at Lau rel Spi-ings. AUSTIN—Of coui'se, there are no more Bob Doughtons left—in this state or anywhere else. But the nearest thing- to him in his congressional district is W. B. Austin of Jefferson, modest and down-to-earth attorney, cattle- raiser and member -of the State Board of Agriculture. Austin isn’t so well known thx-oughout the district—^which I'ambles, meandei-s and gerryman- dei'S all the way from Spaxha down to -Ylbex-mai-le—but neither is any body el.se well known. Erskine Smith, of Albex-mai-le, who lost to Reg Harris for lieutenant govei-- nor in 1940, could make a good run. But ho loves the legislature and may prefer to i-einain in North Carolina. Other likely candidates are Hug:h Mitchell ( he may have Son Hoi'ton Doughton’s support) of Statesville and Ii'ix Johnson, of Ashe. But never count a Doughton out until he gives the woi-d.
