NEW BERN BATHERS WERE LOCKED AWAY FROM tLOTHES NEGRO'S SHARE IN WAR Colored Man Has Proved Himself Poeman Worthy f th steel of Any Race Haiuiibal a Negro. Fellow Witth Shotgun Wouldn't Let Laalea Bav Dreeeea, (Morning New Bernian.) Yesterday morning a party of well known young New Bern, men, accom panied by their wives, mothers, sweet hearts and sisters, sailed away down Neuse river for Slocumbs creek where they Intended to spend the day enjoy ing the pleasures of a dip in the river and a complete rest from the duties of the past week. Arriving at that place thie ladies 4n the party located what was apparently a dilapidated old shack, untenanted and unkept and they withdrew Into this to don their bathing togs while the male members of the party used a nearby shed for this purpose. Having attired themselves in the proper paraphernalia they lost no time in getting into the river where for an hour or more they enjoyed the pleas ures to be found there. Finally, having tired of this acqua ticport. they decided.to come out of the water, don their clothes and pre pare lunch. Their dismay can be Im agined when, upon reaching the. build ing in which their clothing had been left, they found the door nailed up and a man on guard with a shotgun. This individual seemed to be in a bad temper. He declared that he was keeper of the house and that they might as well beat it back to the city minus their wearing apparel. The men threatened and the ladies pleaded but for more than an hour the man with the shotgun was obdurate and it was not until well afternoon that the bath ers were allowed to regain possession of their wearing apparel and put this on and it was a pretty safe bet that they will not soon pay the Slocumb creek section another visit.

KING.) All wars have the peculiar habit of making man see in no uncertain terms the things ,that he should have done and .those he should not have done. It often brings seers, patricians and the plebiah element upon a common level and makes truth, crushed to the earth, to rise in the form that is analogous to recent events In Russia. Although historians, because of their local preju dices, have failed to record the activi ties of the negro folk in the wars of the world, yet subsequent events have gloriously resurrected the fact that the masses of this dark race have always ibeen found sacrificing their existence for what the modern has dubbed true democracy, and the negro had his own leaders, . such at Hannibal and even down to the Illustrious tribal lead ers in Africa, who have immortalised the Abyssinians. The Iron hand of oppression didn't fmake cowards of negroes when Perry made history on the lakes and events of the revolutionary periods which the negro helped seal the independence of a country which later compensated him unjustly yet the workings of queer things have again brought him to the battle lines of the world's conflict and he is found, as of old, . making unher alded sacrifices for the betterment of humanity, not locally, but world-wide. , The Negro n Born Figbter. The navy of this country is not af fording the negro an opportunity to show his fighting qualities as he is wanted in the capacity of a mess at tendant, as a general rule. This is a very discouraging feature .to thousands of this country's black citizens that can fight as good as any man that has paced the deck of a vessel and have been clamoring for a chance to enlist as marines and other positions the same as any alien becoming an Ameri can citizen. The negro is seeking an opportunity, and that he will make good when he gets this opportunity the following story from a white Southern weekly will prove beyond a single doubt: "Frank Kane, a big six-foot negro formerly a soldier of the 24th U. S. In fantry, is making a record for himself in France. He is now in Paris after being wounded five times at the front. "His adventures started Immediately after he left America, when he caught & spy with three valises loaded with explosives with which the man was about to blow up the steamship. For this Kane received the red, white and blue salvage medal. "Enlisting In the French army in Au gust, 1914, he was in a battle four miles from Rheime when a German rifle bul let traversed his leg. He received an other leg wound at Rheims in March (1915) when exhausted and cold he spent 18 houfs on the ground with nothing to eat. After being sent to Al geria for convalesence he next took part in the Dardanelles expedition un der General Gouraud. "The French advanced more than four miles on Sedul Bahr where they wore forced to entrench. Here he was twice wounded, once by a bullet in the head and onoe by a shell fragment in the leg. "He was attended by English doc tors and his skull trepanned. He was wounded the fifth time before Monastir. At this place his arm was broken. "He was visited in the hospital at Salonlki by General Sarrall and wa proposed for the military medal. He has three colonial medals for bravery and distinguished conduct. "While fighting in the trenches in France, Kane's captain told him to take two men across No Man's Laijd,' and bring back a prisoner, as certain in formation was Reeded. Kane went alone at night and covered up by a heap of stray he lay quiet each time an illu minating rocket exploded. He advanced slowly until he finally Jumped into the German trench, grabbed the first Teu ton he saw and rushed back. "Kane, who was bofn in Baton Rouge, La., and is about to return to Salonlki, says: 'I am seeking only to do my duty'." War From an Economic Phase. This world war has also wprked queer economic transformations and right here it again touches the negro. On thousands of the plantations in the South when the sun rises in the East the negro with his hands on the plow handles would be on the job and when the sun hid itself beyond the western horizon this same faithful negro would be entreating Maud to finish out the row. Then he would return to his hum ble cabin with Its squalid conditions and when pay day came he would only receive such small- compensation that he couldn't "make ends meet." Here is the hard working negro with his family who is a tenant in some places he is not allowed to even grow corn for his own use, much lees the other crops advocated by food conser vationists; the landlord says plant cot ton, tobacco. After the harvesting is over and the landlord sells the crops the negro tenant goes to the office and the landlord begins to deduct, this and de duct that until the "duck" has gotten the negro and his large family's whole year's work without even a dollar to their credit and they are forced to be gin the new year with a deficit and in thousands of cases without enough ra tions to run the family a week. Loan Starri S in Dual Roie In Dickens' Masterpiece, A Tale af Two Cities," at the Royal tomorrow and Tuesday. sharks, and oAer forms of dire pro-' scription make negroes in certain sec tions of the South feel that they were only born to bear America's , cross of affliction. ' ! Without any" leader and without a Scobeleff to' 'speak for them the labor conditions of the industrial -centers were such that this negro labor with out any trace of hatred in the heart t against the Southern landlord and em- ployer, left Mississippi, Alabama and many of the Southern states for Chi.- ' cago and other Northern and Western points to escape a peculiar thraldom, and thousands of them have reached the oonclusion to freeze to death rather than have the "ducks" to get all they j have and keep them in the lowest stage i of civilization hence it is quite unwise) to attempt to believe that the great ; majority of the exodus are going to re- ' turn South If the sane conditions pre- vail. There are exceptionally fine Southern white people who are Just as humane and considerate of the negro as any citizen to be found anywhere in this country, and one will find that their negro help will remain with them ! and the better element of negroes North, South. East and west appreciate J and admire them and are willing to co- ! operate with them to help bring about a condftion that will make the Southern negro contented in the South. By a few of them returning Is not an indication that the majority of the ne- 1 groes leaving the South are going to return. One must expect a number to return home in all uch pronounced movements. It is true that the profes sional ward political heeler will work on many of these poor negroes in the North; well the Irish and other nation alities coming to this country find the same menace and corrupt politicians simply use many of them for their eel- j fish aims. As heretofore stated, what j affects the negro affects his neighbor ' and the poor white man is peculiarly i affected by certain conditions and the j laboring people of the world will be j oenentiea oy in;u economic pnase or the war. Negro Naturally Sympathetic. The negro is naturally sympathetic and ont finds in all of the Southern states a splendid spirit on the part of the lowly element of negroes to feel the burdens and afflictions of their white people, be they rich or poor not only among the lowly element of ne groes but among every class of ne groes. The poor colored farmer is struggling to produce something and he is hard up against it. The white farmer's associa tions protect them from unscrupulous commission merchants and work for the uplift of the white farmer. The other day in another state a certain farmer was talking with a scribbler and this farmer exclaimed that "you people are talking to us colored farm ers to conserve food but you know we must have some financial help to pro duce this food." This was strikingly true. The colored farmer should be given the opportunity to produce desir ed results. He should be given a chance to buy good farm land and the benefit of the farm loan act. He is willing to remain south under conditions favora ble to any farmer regardless of racial identity. The writer knows of an instance where a poor colored farmer was so desirous of becoming a good farmer that he gave the last cent to help pay the salary of the colored farm demon strator and had to keep his child home from school because he was not able to buy shoes at that time, which was in the winter. The white farmers don't have to make such sacrifices to have their demonstrators but the negro farmers have to pay a part of the sal ary of their negro demonstrators. The negro is anxious to keep the angelf despair away from this country and the moulders of sentiment and di rectors of affairs should get together with the representatives of the negro race not the kind of negroes who haven't the courage to state the situa tion and help to adjust things upon a lasting basis of righteousness.
