OUR FEDERAL HIGHWAY
That route trom Pleasant Hill via Roanoke
Rapids and Rosemary is once more marked Fed
eral Highway 17-1. There are several places
where the markers, taken down a few weeks ago,
are still needed.
Coming South to Pleasant Hill, there is no
marker showing 17-1 R, which will aid those fol
lowing the Federal Route in turning right at the
Pleasant Hill intersection. There are other places
along the route that need the markers back and
we feel sure the State Highway Department will
see they are put back where they belong.
To those who cannot see the importance of
having a road designated as a Federal Highway,
we need only to point out that the Federal Gov
ernment each year appropriates money for each
mile of Federal Highway in each State. That mon
ey is to be used only on designated Federal roads.
And also, the State is supposed to match those
Federal funds before they can use same. There
fore, our stretch of road from the Junction to
Pleasant Hill stands a thousands times better
chance of being properly surfaced, bridged and
maintained, as a Federal highway, than as a State
Highway only.
For the return of 17-1 to this comunity,
credit should go to the Bridge Committee of the
Kiwanis Club and to Capt. Jack DeLysle, vice
president of the Atlantic Coastal Highway Associ
ation, which highway, extending from Calais,
Maine, to Cuba, follows 17-1 through this section
of the country.
THE NEGRO’S PLACE
A Negro, working as a laborer for a local con.
cern, peeved about something the manager of the
concern did, proceeded to assault the white man.
If Mr. Purdy had been a slave driver and a
tyrant, there still would have been no provoca
tion for a black man to strike him. On the con
trary, Mr. Purdy is one of the finest gentlemen
in the community and has never done any man
wrong, intentionally or otherwise. Which only
makes the action of the Negro more outrageous.,
We have just finished reading of two Negroes
hung by a mob last week in Marion. Indiana, for
killing a white man and raping a white woman.
In times of calmness, we can all see the wrong in
lynchings and that the law should be allowed to
take its course. And we can likewise see, when
such cases are brought to our own front door,
why people forget themselves and turn into an
gry, bloodthirsty mobs.
We just believe that most of those who throw
up holy hands of horror at lynchings in some dis
tant city would be among the first to grab the
rope if such a thing happened to one of their own
family or neighbors.
Like all other Southerners, we have genuine
regard for a Negro in his place. Let us repeat:
In His Place. And that place is most assuredly
not with his hands on a white woman or at a
white man’s throat.
And until his leaders teach him to get such
ideas out of his head for all times, there will be
lynchings right oil. There are very few cases
where white men are responsible for race wars
and lynchings. The Negro, by his own actions,
brings it on himself, and in many cases on the
head of innocents of his own race.
When the Negro begins to think he is as good
aa a white woman or man, when he becomes sas
sy, arrogant or mean, look out. There’s a candi
date for the rope. There was once a sign hanging
near htis town: “Nigger, don’t let thb sun go
down on you here.” A few more assaults like
the one mentioned in the first paragraph and
somebody will be dusting off that sign again.
If there are any other Negroes like this one
around this town, we hope the good Negroes will
see to it they are run out of town before they dis
turb the pleasant relations which have existed
between the races here for several years past.
WORLD UNEMPLOYMENT
The London Herald on March 3 claimed that
the total unemployed in the entire world is six
teen million The United States loads the list
with six miilion out of work.
None can say if this be a temporary depress
ion in the industrial world which will work itself
out as economic factors are adjusted. Nor can
one be safe in predicting that the entire indus
trial and economic structure of the Old World and
the New must undergo radical changes if men
are to be put back to work again as in genera
tions past.
The uninitiated might well ask what can be
done to put six million men back to full time labor
in the United States, nearly three million in Ger
many, more than two million in England. Or what
has happened to bring about this great lack of
demand in the past few years.
I rue, the population of the world is increas
ing at a rapid rate but that cannot be blamed for
the unemployment That increase must be taken
care of in the way of necessities and luxuries of
life. Surely the increased demand will take care
of the increased population.
You cannot well blame this wholesale unem
ployment on the automobiles and like industries
as some would do, for, as a matter of fact, the
automotive and allied industries are actually em
ploying more men than any other single industry.
Others will say that the steady trek from the
farms to the cities is responsible. Yet we face no
food shortage due to lack of labor on the farms.
And so we could go, ad infinitum, giving rea
sons which in part or totaly are held responsible
for the greatest record of unemployment in his
tory. Perhaps each adds its share to the whole,
but study will prove that even the sum total is
not sufficient reason.
England is trying the dole, wherein the gov
ernment is pensioning the unemployed. That is
not only a temporary measure but it also may
lead to direful results in that it penalizes the ac
tive person and places a premium on laziness and
indifference Our own country is planning relief
measures but they can only last for a short period
of time.
There will be those who will say that anoth
er war will be necessary to dear the atmosphere, i
Brutal thinkers, without seeking to find the real
cause for world-wide unemployment, or failure
to solve the problem, point to the prosperity
which comes to the world during war eras. They
even go farther and say that the killing of many
men relieves the situation by giving ready em
ployment to those who are left. In short, you kill
off your surplus of labor. They point to 24 hour
operations of mills and factories to supply vast
armies in the field. Yet all this economically
wrong, because somebody must foot the bill.
Waste runs rampant in war days and perhaps
therein lies 'he secret of war time prosperity, if
it may be called that.
And therein also might be the secret of our
present dilemma. Perhaps we are becoming too ef- ;
ficient in peace times. Perhaps we are so anxious j
to till, manufacture, transport, and sell at the
least possible cost that we forget our market. Un
less there are people with money to buy, there can
be no business., and every invention and improve
ment which supposedly cuts costs, but which at
the same time cuts manpower, is also diminishing
the buying power of the world.
An investigation is under way at Raleigh re
lative to the death of Willie Bellamy, 18 year old
Negro, who died recently while a convict on the
Wake County roads, whence he had been sent be
cause of dry law violation. It is claimed he was
kept in a “sweat box” during the recent hot spell
because he refused to work. Just two points be
side the question involved. Is his death to be
charged to Prohibition? Has Prohibtion taken
liquor away from the Negro or has it set him up
in close business relationship with liquor?
