The South And The Negro THEY SAID WILL' BY C. C. SPAULDING Recent statistics on crime in North. Carolina indicate that the Negro ia responsihl«. tor a far greater share of the total than his numfbers would seem to warrant. The figures referrad to indicate that on August 1, 1939 of the 9^414 prisoners confined in the state’s' prisons,, were little and 5;698 were Negroes. The figures shaw further that 321 persons convict ed of crimes punishaj>ie by death have been executed since North Carolina turned from inflicting the death penalty by hanging and adopted the me. thods of electrocution and death ill the gas ahamher. Of the 22.1 persons so es^cuted in recent years only 43 were white while f78 were Negroes. The Negro constitutes ‘aibout one third of the population of che state, yat he is responsible for 60 pef cent of the crimes consmitted and represents from £0 t« 70 par eeat of tha total uJlMmployed. , % Faced with this appalling pic ture of the Negro, immersed in crime far 'beyond that which is usuarfor a g^up of people, and faced »witlL, the possibility of an greater percentage of unemployment, it is expedL ent that we aeek an explana tion and *PPly some appropri ate remedy for the "correction of existing conditions. We cannot avoid the fa^ that On'Sunday afternoon the in-!the Negro, in so far as he con stallation of officers will be made . tributes n^re t an w norma by the Rev.
