All of us en counter difficulties, no matter where we are located, nnd it is always better to face problems at home among friends than in strange lauds among strangers. “The race prejudice of the north is far more deadly than any which exists in tlie South, and in . North Carolina our negroes not. only enjoy good schools but are afforded justice in the courts. These two things alone should dis courage migration.” Union Negro Beats an Infant fro Death.
