Negro Educator Tells Pro
fessional Men That Blacks
Should be Optimistic.
Amicable relations between white and
negro races was the theme of an ad
dress by Prof. N. C. Newbold, super
intendent of negro education in North
Carolina, at the opening of the annuai
convention of the North Carolina Med
ical, Pharmaceutical and Dental Asso
ciation in this city Tuesday night. The
association will have a three-day ses
sion. A message of optimism to the negro
professional men on plans for improv
ing negro educational conditions in the
State was one of the outstanding fea
tures of Mr. Newbold's address at the
Ebenezer Baptist church.
"Conditions have not been exactfy
what they should," said Mr. Newbold,
"but Governor Morrison has promised
support of improved educational condi
tions and at present a program is be
ing outlined for the expenditure of $13,
000,000 on negro schools. The future
of the negro race in this State looks
good."
Prof. G. B. Davis, formerly of Biddie
University, delivered the address of
welcome to the visiting delegates, and
the response was made by Dr. A. M
Rider, of Greensboro.
About 100 delegates have arrived for
the convention. A business session was
held Wednesday morning at $ o'clock
and 1 o'clock at Grace A. M. E. Zioi
church, and another public meeting
will be held Wednesday night at Little
Rock A. M. E. Zion church.
Among the attractions for the conven
tion will be a ball game between the
Monroe Red Sox and the Gastonla
Giants at Biddle University Wednes
day afternoon at 4 o'clock. Another
will be played Thursday afternoon at
the same hour.

FISHERMEN HIDE
BAIT TO SAVE IT
Finny Tribd of Bridgewater
Gets Reputation for keep
ing Anglers on Defense.
The fish in the big lake at Bridge
water are so eager to be caught that
fishermen have to hide behind a tree in
order to bait their hooks. Otherwise
the fish would jump out of the water
into a boat or out on the short and
take they "bait out of the hand of a fish
erman. So say veracious fishermen of Char
lotte who have just returned from
there.
In a party that has come from
Bridgewater and related these and oth
er incidents were Reuben .A. Graham,
division passenger agent of the South
ern Railway here; H. D. Luckett, S.
M. Howard, R. A. Jenkins and others.
Mr. Luckett was so hard pressed by
one of the eager bass at Bridgewater
that he had to take to the shore and
climb a tree to escape. .He had a bit
of bait in his pocket, it was discovered
afterward, and the fish found this out.
One of the party made this statement
and the others gravely assented to it,
removing all doubt as to its veracity.
Mr. Howard broke all sprinting rec
ords last. Saturday afternoon at the
lake, the fishermen say, when he was
navigating about the lake in a small
boat, accoutered only in negligee a
chew of tobacco, a coat of sunburn and
an air of contentment. He had not
noticed a threatening cloud, bank in
the west, so lost was he in the pleas
ures of the lake, until a sudden, strong,
rush of wind swept down out of the
surrounding hills, jerked his boat about
and called his attention to the fact that
a small storm was almost upon him.
Hastily pulling for the shore, ho reach
ed it just before the storm broke and
raced it for the shack where the fisher
men maintained headquarters.
'Charlie Paddock, the world's great
est sprinter, would have lagged behind
Howard like he was tied to a post,"
said Mr. Jenkins, relating the incident.
"He made a quarter of a mile in noth
ing fiat."
Mr. Howard exhibited a few, punc
tures and scratches on his shins, where
he came in contact with vegetation as
he disregarded all obstacles in racing
with the storm.
The fishermen brought back a heal
thy coat of tan, scratches on the arms,
lefs, back and everywhere: a lot of
fishing tackle, several active imagina
tions in good working order and a de
termination to go back again at the
first opportunity tha tpresents itself.
They didn't display their fish.
Cam Allen, chief clerk of the of
fice of the general manager of the
Southern Railway, lines east, was at
the Southern station to meet the fisher
men when they came in, constituting
himself a committee of one. He ap
preciates imaginative literature and
other fine arts and gave the returning
fishermen a few minutes of his val
uable time while they spun great tales
about Bridgewater.

A DRESSER WAS HE!
His trousers were short that she might see his silken socks unpaid for.
The shirt of silk adorned his manly breast and his three dollar tie pro
claimed his artistic taste and his utter disregard of mere matters of money
or credit. She said "just speak to Papa" and to papa he strode with those
same socks of silk,, that r same shirt th at spurned the cotton field, and with
that rainbow tie.
AND PAPA SAID
"How many shares do you carry with Keesler and the Mutual?" None. I
don't like ta bother with little things, like that. That's for working people.
"Is your suit paid for, and what did it cost." It cost $75.00 and I'm
paying for it monthly, that is I'm going to start on it next month.
"How about your socks and handsome tie and lovely shirt?" ' Oh, I
have an. account and don't have to pay cash.
"Do you belong to the clubs? Oh, yes, I'm a member of all the best
ciuds ana entertain m approvea style,
, "How about the church, and do you help your parents in their strug-"
gles?" I'm a member, but don't go in for sissy stuff very strong. Don't
have the time. As for the old folks, they don't bother me, and I have my
own affairs to look after.
"Ho much have you saved during the last 5 years?" Well, I haven't
saved anything yet, but I'm going to start when I'm married. " ,
PAPA TOOK HIM SOFTLY "
to the door and: said "I've worked hard for what I have, and I'm wilUn to'
support Susan as long as she lives, but if she even wanted to marry a feller
of your stripe I'd be tempted to disown her. You're just a simple, ordinary
fool, and hunting, for a support. Gojearn something of real life and some'
day you may be able to marry a self-respecting girl. That's what our mat
