WE CONGRATULATE
WARREN NEGROES
The need for some sort of
rest quarters at Warrenton
for members of the colored
race has been increasingly
apparent for the past ten or
twelve years. The negroes
have taken the matter into
their own hands and will
soon begin the erection of a
building to serve as a community
center, library and
rest room for our colored citizens.
They are to be con
gratulated upon their determination
to aid themselves,
their ingenuity and
their fine evidence of good
citizenship, and Warren
county should be proud of
the fact that it has that type
of leadership among its negroes
that is able with limited
resources in money to
carry out a fine piece of
work nevertheless.
For the erection of this
building is more than would
have been the case if it
came about by jmere solicitation
of funds from citizens
or donations from town
and county. Conceived by
the negro parent-teacher as
sociation, whose members
were not daunted by the
magnitude of the task confronting
it, they started to
work in a small way largely
upon faith. Finding that they
had no funds with which to
buy necessary bricks, they
called upon the skill possessed
by certain members of
their race, discovered suitable
clay and erected their
own brick yard. The bricks
have been moulded and
within a few days fires will
be kindled beneath the kilns
and shortly thereafter a
start will be made toward
the actual erection of the
building.
Completed, the building
will he more than a service
able institution for the members
of the negro race; it
will stand as a monument to
the teaching of that great
negro leader, Booker T.
Washington, who preached
always the dignity of labor,
and it will be a marker to
the labor of hands.
Should funds be lacking,
we feel that it is imminently
proper that both the county
and town make a donation
i i
towards its erection ana upkeep,
and we feel that members
of the white race
should be as liberal as possible
with their donations
toward such a worthy cause.
This building is being
erected in the same spirit as
was erected the Warren
County Memorial Library.
We trust that it shall grow
in the hearts and mean as
much to the negro race as
has the library to members
of the white race.
Two thousand acres 01 iarra iana
in Person county has been signed
up in the new terracing program
being advocated by the farm agent.
Hie Brunswick county corn crop
is reported in excellent condition
With all other crops growing well.

I to my mind, it was a noble experiment
notwithstanding the ultimate
results of failure and disrespect
which is freely admitted by many
of its former ardent supporters and
advocates who have become conscious
of the fact that the majority
of a democratic people cannot be
governed by compulsion and unreasonable
restrictions. Unfortunately,
there yet remains those who
have not sufficiently awakened to
realize that the night of fantastic
dreams has been transformed into
a new day of realities and responsibilities
which must be dealt with
in a practical common-sense
method. I do not present the new
* 1 i 1 4-? Wo r\or_ I
legal UU11UU1 legislation iu w ,
feet; however, I am willing to trust
our Democratic citizenship to secure
such correction as they prove themselves
to be worthy of. With its imperfections
I declare unto you that
it cannot be worse than the present
attitude of contempt and disrespect
for what we have. Never
before in the annals of American
history has there been such a wave
of crime and disrespect for law and
order as that which has swept our
country since the adoption of the
Eighteenth Amendment and our
own Turlington Act.
Correct statistics of relative per
capita consumption are impossible,
but when we take into consideration
the enormous stock of legal
liquor at the time of the introduc- j
tion of prohibition and add to this j
the illegally smuggled in and domestically
manufactured alcoholic
drinks, it is easy to determine why
temperance has not advanced. Inso-far
as North Carolina is concerned,
we do know from the most reliable
statistics that crime has increased
at an alarming rate per j
capital, also that in not less than 80
per cent of the cases that illicit
liquor in some form can be traced
as a fundamental factor; that narcotic
and stimulating drugs have a '
per capita consumption far beyond ^
normal; that applications for both
alcoholic and drug disease treatment
have increased more than five
hundred per cent; that there has
hpen an iinnreeedented increase in 0
death and insanity caused by im- ^
pure poisonous bootleg liquor and *
drug concoctions; that thousands of c
human beings have been shot down ?
like ferocious beasts by state and 0
federal enforcement officers vainly c
and foolishly endeavoring1 to en- s
force laws which public sentiment ^
has made unenforceable; that mil- 0
lions of dollars have been expended c
without permanent benefit. We r
might go on and on relating indis- 8
putable facts, but what is the use? 0
Is it possible that those who oppose
legal control and distribution are *
like Ephraim, joined to the idol of )
prohibition? Have they not had "
sufficient proof that it has been
robbed of its virtues? Why stop to
ponder in the face of a crisis the
like of which we have never before
been confronted? Can it be said of
' H - -T TV!
us, tnat use tne orotners ox uives,
"We have had the experience of
our past? and would not be persuaded,
though one might be arisen
from the dead?
Alcoholic edicts are debauching
and destroying themselves. The
youth of our country together with
generations not yet born are dependent
upon our protection through
legal control.
What will you do?surrender your
opportunity to the gods of dissipation
(blind tigers and bootleggers)?
Or will you cast your ballot for
LEGAL CONTROL thereby building
order out of chaos?

Golden Text: 1 Corin. 4:2.
How do we spend the margina
lart of our income not devoted t
lecessities? The answer is a sur
evelation of character. What w
lo with our spare cash is a ver
lear indication of the kind of mei
nd women we are.
A careful estimate shows that 24
>ut of the average American dolla
3 devoted to living costs, 21c t
uxuries, 14c to waste, 13c to mis
elaneous items, 11c to investment*
c to crime, 5c to government, 2c t
ur schools, leaving only lc fo
hurch support. The fact that w
pend twenty-one times as much oi
he various comforts and pleasure
f modern life as we do on ou
hurches is most revealing. It de
nonstrates how dismally we fat
,s a nation, to apply the principle
f Christian stewardship.
How are we to correct this tragi
labit of devoting only a tiny frac
ion of our wealth to education an

[religion? First of all, t'liere must
jbe a spiritual undergirding of our
[church budgets. A parish canvass
1 should never be inaugurated withj
out prayer. Secondly, Christian
folk must be kept thoroughly informed
of the program ot the
churches, both in its local and benevolent
phases. Information is
! t'he mother of interest.
How much each person should
give to church and charity can be
' decided by a careful analysis of
' 'one's income and probable expenditures
Most families could give a
c tenth of their means to the promo?
tion of religion if they managed
5 their finances in accord with a
11 carefully planned budget. The giving
of a tithe has Bible sanction,
c and should be heartily commended
r to all not in straitened circum0
stances.
St. Paul sums up our duty in this
matter in his famous advice to the
0 Corinthians, "Upon the first days of
r the week let every one of you lay
c by him in store, as God hath prosn
pered him."
