THE annual report made to the

ed a gratifying growth in mem

Pershing Wants Small Army
Tl ISSENTING in many impor
C tant respects from the pro
gram recommended by the War
Department and the general staff,
General Pershing has told the
military committees of Congress
that 300,000 men, raised entirely
by voluntary enlistment, - should
be the outside figure considered
for a standing army.
He favored universal military
training to provide an emer
gency reserve, but thought gen
eral educational work should be
combined with it and military
discipline "somewhat relaxed"
so that the system would be in
complete harmony with domestic
institutions. He fixed six months
as the training period.
The department had recom
mended an army of more than
500,000, with a system of univer-
sal training not embracing the
educational feature. Its recom
mendation for a training period
was three months.
The Raleigh American is the
name of a very newsy afternoon
daily which has just made its ap
pearance in our capital city. The
editor is Mr. Edgar Wsmble, who
has had long newspaper experi
ence. Here's wishing fame and
fortune and a large measure of
success to Mr. Womble in his
latest venture.
California has ratified the
"Federal woman's suffrage amend
ment the Senate by unanimous
-pte and the assembly with only
two negative votes being cast
This makes the 17th State to rat
ify the amendment
Better be preparing. The
millennium is on the way. The
price of meat has dropped one
eighth of a cent shoe strings
selling at ten cents, and sugar
and liquor have disappeared.
THE latest strike that has been
reported is the blind men in an
institution in Philadelphia. They
want higher wages. A case of
blind man's bluff, as it were.
The price of cotton is steadily
increasing. The farmer that has
cotton stored away at home in a
dry place, will be getting big
money for it next spring.
A Southern Race-Program
TENDER the above heading
the University News-Letter
has the following well-timed and
thoughtful article which we are
herewith reproducing in full:
Recognizing that the negro is a per
manent and increasingly important fac
tor in the development of our national
life, the Southern Sociological Congress
considers the solution of the problem of
race relation as the most delicate and
difficult single task for American de
mocracy. We believe that no enduring
basis of good-will between the white
and colored peoples of this country can
be developed except on the fundament
al principles of justice, cooperation,
and racial integrity. The obligations
of this generation to posterity demand
that we exert our utmost endeavor to
preserve the purity of our democratic
ideals expressed in the American con
stitution as well as the purity of tho
blood of both laces. With this belief
the Southern Sociological Congress has
worked out a program for the improve
ment f race relations, and we respect
fully submit it to the conference of
governors in the earnest hope that this
body of distinguished leaders may lend
its powerful influence toward making
this program effective throughout the
union.
The report to the conference of gov
ernors in Salt Lake City as presented
by Bishop Theodore D. Bratton, presi
dent of the Southern Sociological Con
gress, and Dr. J. E. McCulloch, the
secretary, is as follows:
1. The negro should be liberated from
the blighting fear of injustice and mob
violence. To this end it is imperatively
urged that lynching be prevented.
(1) By the enlistment of negroes
themselves in preventing crimes that
provoke mob violence.
(2) By prompt trial and speedy exe
cutions of persons guilty of heinous
crimes.
(3) By legislation that will make it
unnecessary for a woman who b,as been
assaulted to appear in court to testily
publicly.
(4) By legislation that will give the
governor authority to dismiss a sherifi
for failure to protect a prisoner in his
charge.
2. The citizenship rights of the ne
gro should be safeguarded, particu
larly. (1) By securing proper traveling ac
commodations. (2) By providing better housing con
ditions and preventing extortionate
rents.
(3) By providing adequate educa
tional and recreational facilities.
3. Closer cooperation between white
and colored citizens should be promot
ed, without encouraging any violation
of race integrity.
(1) By organizing local committees,
both white and colored, in as many
communities as possible for the consid
eration of inter-racial problems.
(2) By the employment of negro phy
sicians, nurses and policemen as far as
firacticable in work for sanitation, pub
ic health and law enforcement among
their own people.
(3) By enlisting all agencies possible
in fostering justice, good will and kind
liness in all individual dealings of the
other.
(4) By the appointment of a stand
ing committee by the governor of each
State for the purpose of making a care
ful study of the causes underlying race
friction with the view of recommend
ing proper means for their removal.
Congresrman E. Yates Webb,
of Shelby, has been appointed by
President Wilson United States
judge for the western district of
North Carolina. Judge Boyd,
recognizing the growing infirmi
ties of age, in a letter to the
President requested that anoth
er judge be appointed under the
Carlin act to relieve him of the in
creasing work. Judge Boyd will
now be virtually retired on full
pay.
North Carolina subscribed
to $138,095,400 worth of liberty
bends in the five loans with an
overpayment of $9,327,400, ac
cording to figures made public by
the Federal Reserve Bank at
Richmond. In addition to the
liberty bonds, the State subscrib
ed to $24,449,000 of treasury cer
tificates. All the fools in this country
are not dead yet. The idea of a
man paying $11,000 for a hog!
That is the price paid for one at
Hannibal, Mo., the other day.
This mammoth hog weighs 1100
pounds, is 44 inches tall and 84
inches in length.
Mr. P. LaDuke, Farmer, Says: 'You
Bet Rats Can Bite Through Metal."
"I had feed bins lined with zinc last
year, rats got through pretty soon. Was
out $18. A $1 pkg. of RAT-SNAP kill
ed so many rats, that i ve never Deen
without it since. Our collie dog never
touched RAT-SNAP." You try it.
