If the managers of some of our pub
lic institutions had as many spurs as
Waters' rooster and as much grit in
their craws as they ought to have and
use those spurs as they .should be used
there would be a general shaking of the
dry bones of negroes and Republicans
that are holding positions which young
white men should have. Our young
white men are going to have work it
they have to leave North Carolina to
get it, and why not keep them here
If anybody goes let the negro go am
joy go with him. Some people think
thev cannot live without a negro to trot
after them. What benefit is it to young
inon to vote and work for Democratic
success and then let the other parties
get the bone. Now, unless there is a
shaking up, the thing is gone as sure as
another election comes.
