Th» Charlotte CAKOLtLNA TIMlliJS, answers in tne ne^tive and
that aomething ahould l>e done about ttie sad condition ai it
here in tha matter of Nes^oes killing Negroea.
AmI aomething ia l>eing done if wh^ we read in the newapapera
ttia WMk jlibout the aituation means anything, and that something
ia feaing done by Solicitor John G. Carpenter, one of the officials
«f tha courts in authority who can do more to break up the pr^fctice
tkaa anyone elae in Mecklenburg County.
fChuiotte Negro citizens, the public spirited o>>es, and 'Sbiose
who would like to feel proud of their city when dtaousmons are
ftald and releases sent out shout crime situf,tions and murders
akovld feel heartened and encouraged in the statement made fey
Bottritor Carpenter the other kiy regarding two Negro men #io
fir. on trial at thia writing on first degrea murder indictments be-
iara the Superiw Court of this county.
Tha Solicitor said:
I “I ’m aaking for first tegree verdicts in both theae cases.”
“Tbia killing of N^egroea by iNegroea in Ctva^otte ia getting
to be scandialous, and until we really get something done
about it I'm afraid it’s going to continue. U’s pt shame. A
I.
more first degree verdicts ought to help put an end to
aome of this Killing around here.”
And ny frienda we 4tgree that a few first degree veidicta will do
■tadk t» out far down the kilting of Negroes ^y Negroes in this
city which should be one of the nation’s moat progressive, law-
and upright in the nation. Thiii newspaper is not ipreaching
•apitol punishment, but it is advocating the punishment of kiUen
in tha highest degree, especially in casea where there is jpremedita
lioB, ud of those who kill on the least provacation on the belief
tkat Ifaeir fellowmen’s lives are no more valoahle than thoae of
cat* and dogs and lotiier dumb animals.
ISdicttor Carpenter has sounded the alarm, but he will need tha
liotp* tlta aupport and the encouragement of the better thinking
citiscns of thia communinty as he goes about his duties of ridding
Charlotte of KUJiFgtfi.
tt Nagro ministers, teachers, professdn, professional men and
womao, civic and welfare leaders and otliers who clfitfsify them-
aalvea aa leaden do not lend a hand in the CRUSAd>£ to make.
‘ ^Qiarlotte a leaa murderous or a, non murderous city, tlien all that
^tita eoorta may do, and the Solicitor as well, will be done in vain.
' A coocarted, well organized campaign against Rtme and vice, will
do much in building this city into the city it should be.
Will you register your support, will you help in the drive to rid
Chariotte of crime, vice and permiacious killings, or will you con
tinue to ait i^y by, only commenting and lamenting, while your
young peH?le, your middle aged people, and |all other clasaes of
your people go “MEBltfiLY ON TO 31EUU”!
to assert my opin
ion in iMbaif of tna detenaa and
m^ntanaaca of tha United J^tat-
•s of America.
Mr. Jtooaavelt was elected
president of Ut« United iiutes
at a time when cheer and proa-
perity had taken iu flight from
Ui ehub of industry and want
and despondency grew gigatiti-
caliy at nearly every man'a door
Ihe President is naturally a born
ifeader and a hum,Jtaitarian ol
no mean ability. i, ^ man of
djvlna vision, which makes him
eminenUy befitting to sit as a
leader ^d give his wise counsel
to the nation, so as to enable it
to meet Uia obiigatian which it
confronta.
The navy which plougha’ the
oceana and seas in the tnLerest
of tha United autes, tha air
ahipa, and mffitary ianrf forces,
were Judged by tha president as
Being inadequate to meat tha
emargenciea of the hour. With
great rapidity he is rushing the
foundries amd other eatablisK-
manta for the purpose' of defend
ing this country against any in
truder,
I believe in peace ' *nd In a
neighborly bortherhood. A young
lawyer ona day asked Jesua
Christ, “What shall 1 do to in
herit eternaJ lifeT” He said unto
him, "What is written in the
lawT” And he answering said,
"Thou Shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart, and wish
all thy soul, and with all they
atrength, ^d wiUi all thy mind;
and thy neighboro as thyself.”
And he said unto him, “Thou
haat answered right; this do, and
thou Shalt livat’.’^Luke 10:25-26.
Every man, woman and child liv
ing, ia your neighbor. No aane
man will destroy himself. He or
she wiio destroys himself, or at
tempts to do so, his neighbor and
leave him, bleeding and half
dead.
Tbe aigna of the timea indic
ate that some rulera at the hiyui
of nationa have no aeasa of right
and care nothing for the livea of
human beings. They, delight in
plunder and slaughter reg^dlesa
to the rights of tha people. They
b®*et about the number of hu
man beinca they liave killed and
the number they have under sub
jugation. Seemingly, their minda
deKght and glory in the slftaghter
and bloodshed of their neigiv-
bors.R Regardless of odr desires
and inclinationa to have peace,
the pendulum swinn^ towarda
an irresistable wsar. It is time to
ise up as one man and prpeare Ut
meet the lions in their lairs. A
lion can be killed as easily /us f
bird if you make the shots with
tlia proper caliber anw power.
Tha die ia caatl Compulaory
training, I think, is a i|tep in the
right direction. The nation
ougivt to be tipned to protect
itself against those who are enp
grossed in the works of aatan-;

trained aa one man, regardless
half of thia country? Thia ia a
way for wiaa action. Ha who acta

very best thing for himself ahd

One day recently the Solicitor of itih« Superior Court of Meckleo-

Since Qreeland and Iceland
have both fcome into the head
lines lately, it should encouralge
us to study and learn something
about these two Islands. Iceland
is unique in that it is the oldest
republic or democracy in the
world, having established and
continued a pure democracy for
democracy for over MOO years
Greeland too ia unique in that it
is* by far the largeat isl^d in the
world, if We except Australia.
One of the best object lessons of
capitalism va socialism is to be
found In the cssea of Labrodor
which belongs to British Empire
and thsit «f Greenland which
came under the Jurisdiction of
Denmark. The population of
Greeland is made up of about
17,000 people, of which about
1000 are Indians, 16,000' pn
E&kimos, and only 600-are Cauca
sians, mostly of ’Danish descent.
Labrador’a populaltion consists
cf about 1^,000, of whom IMOO
aie Eskimos, 4000 Indians, and
about 9000 are whites, chiefly
fishing folk from .. ewfoundland
and the British Isesl. Up to ^out
19^ both Greenland and Labra
dor were in a most deplorable
condition o disease, financial
deiovasion, exploiisition^ » « d
racial degeneraciea. About up^ to
that time, England, U. S., Nor
way and Sweden, all claimed
parts of Gree^aaid, aolng witb
Denmark who claimed the larg
est portion. Denmark appealed to
the League of Nations at^ Genev^
for full control and sup%rvision
of Greeland. This wa#"[cranted
to her on tbe condition that she
would not exploit nor«4et any
other nation exploit nor let any
other n^ion exploit the inhabit
ants of Greenland. During the
past 16 years Denmark haa
faithfully kept her pledge, prov
ing th;s by malung complete re-
porta to the Geneva Cqfeuniasion.
Mrs. Buth Bryan Owen who waa
U. S. minister to Denmairk also
visited Greeland. It ia from the
above reliable source that 1 acn
giving thia report. The Daniah
authorities allow no gambling,
liquor, vicesj immoralities, or ex
ploitation; they compell ^1 ships
that wish to enter Greenland
waters and liarbora to get licen
ses which are only granted after
very careful tnspections. 87 per
cent of the surface of Greenl^bd
is perpetually covered with ice
and snow; there are no trees or
foresta; the ice free soil is very
rocky, and only a'small part can
grow vegetables; but it will
grow very luxuriant gr,i^8ea.
The natives bave been organi
zed into cooperatives which raise
chickens, goats rabbits, milk
coiwa, musk oxen, reindeer, foxes
grouse, iitannigan, yaks, atnd
other small live atock. . Othera
also raise various v^^et«blea
frui^ witii the help of green
houses and hot beds. Moat of the
Inb^itants engage in fishing
and hunting aeals, bears, wal-
rua, whales, etc. They have large
mineral deposits, aa brown coal,

mVlDED THEY FALL
IRRESPECTIVE OP THE
part aha played in the berayal of
Ethiopia, thefriends of France
are grieved to see her prostrate
in the dust of defeat. For ^ cen
tury France atood alone aa the
moat decent of the major civiliz
ed nationa on the color question.
France deserved a better fate,
but France was beti^ad by her
plutocata and politicians, their
tools. It ia generally agreed that
the plight of France can be
charged to tbose stupid dnd de
signing politicians who put their
selfish ambitions above the
common weal; and so they are
the real~ destroyers of France
and not merely the Germans.
But if politicifclis betrayed
France and England, ,who has be
trayed the United States of
.America, for our nations ■ atand
today almost utterly undefend
ed? If Hitler is not our of breath
chaaing and running down the
nations of Europe, he can e^ily
“wipe up” this undefended do-
o'ain. When looking about for
tbe betrayers of France, we must
not forget England. When Ger
many was prostrate in 1918'
FrM>ce contended that the peace
of Europe depended upon the
continued subjugation of the war
like Germans and under no cir-
cunutances should Germany be
allowed to rearn). Great Britain
^d let Germany rearm! France
contended further that a rearmed
Germany should not be allowed
in the RUneland, but Great Bri-
d let the XerBl^na enter
ftad fortify their side of the
Rhine and the weaker French
barters away their fatherland to
appease the arrog^atnt British who
are always long oh diplomacy
and international b^gaining and
short on soldiers to hole the bat
tle lines. \
France knew she was defeated
by the tacUcs of England; bo she
turned to Russia ^ an ally to
threaten the German rear, and
Eikgland had France to sacrifice
Ruasia ^ Munich when England
refused to invite Russia to the
Cz^hoaiovakia “sell out.” Thus
step by step England sacrificed
France, her gallant ally, ilnd left
her exposed to the German on
slaught that was inevitable.
When the war storms broke, (A
usual France was called upon to
fight it out with tbe Germans
while the English went their way
drinking tea' and looking to
Fiance to defend Englslid again
st the Germans.
“England will fight to the laat
French aoldier” was not a msre
quip; for it has more truth thad
fiction. The. French knew they
had been betrayed by Englatid
aod they resented • being called
upon the second time in 20 years
to defend an ally that had be
trayed them, |Sdid so the war
found France divided. Vary
shodtly it became evident that
relations between France and
Eiigland were strained and Hitr
ler thait master mind of the
century, took full advantage of
the disaffection of the two na
tions. The capitulation of France
leaves Britain once in ft long
time to fight her own battles and
it looks like curtains for the Bn-
tish. Tbe nation of diplomats
must turn at last to their guns
end if they ^e the great people
they claim to be the world will
soon find it out; for with Ger
mans it must ba said with guns
and not portfolio, “Dividing and
ri'ling” has long been the British
way in the world and so Hitler
niodernized the policy by “divid
ing and conquering."
Down On The

One by one he t^es the na
tions of Europe in tow, and Just
whether he will stop when Eur
ope is finished remaina to be
seen. If he is the genius we be
lieve him to be, he might just as
easily conquer the western
hemisphere as to hang up bis

was divided, Engl^lid and France
were divided. Scandinavia was
divided, Holland and Belgium
were divided, Ruasia and Italy
^tre divided, the western lien^
pl^ere is divided, our own nation
is divided! The only thing that
i>! saving our nation temporarily
is not 4he far sightedneaa and
sagacity of our statesmen but
sheer circumst^eea.
The nation aav^ by ciscumst-
ances has a apacious salvation
for circumstanecs may fighit on
our side one d(tl^ and fight

ity if not indeed^ the cupidity of
the democracies has been colos
sal. While we sat here watching
Japan the little brown race
cJcroea the Pacific, Germany waa
taking charge of .the continent
if not indeed a world. Divided
they fall. Divided we fall, we
the Negro race. Booker T. Waah
ington proclaimed andustrial edu
cation fii' a means of deliverance,
DuBois proclaimed clasaical edu
cation and so the race waa divid
ed. The white man claims thf^l

African and so we are divided.
DIVIDED WE FALL.
OLD HENS NEED MOIST
MASH AT NOON EACH DAY I
Do yon want to know how to
keep your old hens In egg pro
duction during the hot summer
montha?
Well, C. F. Parrish, Extension
poultry specialist of N, C. State
College, aays the feeding of a
moist mash ^t noon each day will
help to increase summer egg
production. He recommends that
three pounds of dry mash ba
niuiatened with milk of water and
fed to each 100 birds. "As soon
as the birds finish eating, turn
ths^nruish troughs over so that
flies will nA congregate in the
laying house," he says.
The poultry specialist also ad
vises the supplying of 4 to 6
gallons of cool,'fresh water each
d£ly for each 100 birds, and a
sufficient number of fountains so
that thsre will not be any crowd
ivg around the drinking founta.
“Remember,” he says, ‘two
thirds of each egg is water and
hens c^’t produce eggs if the
drinking fountain is dry. Then
too, you can get 13 cents for
water when selling eggs at 20
cents per dozen. Therefore,
provide plenty of fresh, clean
wster at all tjmes.”

Flue cured tobacco growers

it is pointed out by E. Y. Floyd,
AAA executive officer of N. C.
State College.
If quotas are approved for a
three year period, 1>941 through

has promised to protect‘prices |
of the 1940 crop “at or slightly
above last year’s 14.9 cents per

officials also have announced that
if three year quotas are voted,
the allotments in 1941 will be
