Washington, Dtp. lit.—‘A violent epidemic of annual reports has been raging in Washington for the last week or two. / There always is such an outbreak just before and after thq December gathering of Congress, but this year it lias been rather worse than usual, ■ probably because there's more govern ment. Besides the president (who calls his report a message) and all the cabinet members, subordinate officials toe numerous to mention (as well as too numerous for any good use) have stories to tel] concprniijg their vari ous departmental activities. « * • You can prove anything by these reports—absolutely .anything. You can prove that, for quantity and quality, nothing ever equaled the prosperity that this country literally ,is walllowing in. Or you can prove that it’s a fictitious prosperity, which covers the country only spottily, at that. Yon can prove by Secretary Jar dine's report that the farmers are better off than they'been since 11)20. You can establish conclusively, by census statistics, that the number Os American farms is dwindling rapidly, due mainly to hard. luck with the boll weevil, drought (Did Unsatisfactory economic conditions. f * * * You can prove that takes are and are not being reduced. You can prove that lightening the tax load on the rich benefits the poor Mid you can prove that it just makes -the poor’s load that much heavier. You can prove that Americans are making more money than they ever •made before hud you can prove that what they make won’t buy as much as their former and smaller incomes. THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE You can make out a case for and ! against the tariff. It’s demonstrable that President' Coolidge steadily is catting down the governmental personnel; also that [therg are more names on the govern ment payroll now than when he start ed. NEGRO COLLEGES ARE HAVING FINE GROWTH Many Teachers Are Colored People Whereas Formerly They Were All White. x Chicago, 111., Dec. 15.—" The growth and euccess of education in colleges rend schools of the negro in the States is remarkable,” says Dr. L Garland 'Penn. Cincinnati. Ohio, one of- the secretaries in charge of negro work for the Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church, whose headquarters ft at Chicago, 111. Dr. Penn reecounted the wonderful growth of the schools and colleges for tlie Negro of the Methodist Episcopal Church saying that 3(4 years ago there was not a Negro filling the presidency of one of theSe schools; now there are eleven presidents. Thirty years 'ago most of the teachers were white mis sionaries, now out of 450 teachers ful ly four hundred are Negroes. The University of- the system at Atlanta, On., is headed by a Negro while the institution hiving the largest college, enrollment has a Negro president. This, he said, showed what the invest ment of white missionaries and means, meant in race development and as sumption of responsibility. I)r. Penn said, however, that the race is not overstocked i with college graduates for leadership p for in sixty years there have been graduated only ten thousand and this number hns been depleted from time to time by denth. “More Negroes are seeking college education today than ever,” declared Dr. Penn. “In 1010 there were not more than 100 college students in the Negro Methodist Episcopal schools while in 1924 there were 600.” Dr. ■ Penn dwelt at length upon religious as well as intellectual training ay solvents' for the problems. He said that the problems are man-made 6iiy\vny. The prevention of problems as well as their solution/followed as men were able to know‘and practice the truth of God. In conclusion Dr. Penh stressed the importance upon she white ministers and visitors of the need of an endow ment to make permanent the institu tio he represented at a time when their future was threatened because of the high cost of education and ever-in creasing standards. Two Hekrews met on a train and the topic of their conversation was their son>) "Meester Isaacs.” inquired the first, “how did your /on Ikey get through his graduation examination?” “Splendid. Rsplendid," exclaimed tile second, clapping his hand with - de light. “He failed/in everything.” BEWARE-THE COUGH OR COLD MI HANGS Persistent coughs attd colds lead to serious trouble.

JfonYoe Journal. Ex-Scuntor John I> McLanrin of Bennettsvilie, S. C., contributed ten dollars to the city government of Mon roe iaet night. But the Senator was a good loser. All he said when the boys pulled him for smashing the speed law through town was, "Well, make it as light as you can, I was making forty miles an hour ever since I left Charlotte. I just can’t help it on your good roads, and it’s worth the money.” Her. was allowed to put up a teu dollar cash bond and proceed on his way to Uennettsville. But at about the same time the evening before, that is about, dark, another Uennettsville car was held up here for violating the laws and the occupants did not take it so good imtnredy. There four ladies in the car which was being driven by a colored boy. The car went through town at 38 miles an hour and when Copper- Wiggs overhauled it-at Five Points and requested that it eome back to see the officers the lady in Charge showed a good deal oi bad temper-. She said that, she should not have boon stopped at all, for being . from South Carolina she was not supposed to know anything about the North Carolina laws. At the police station Chief Spoon presented the matter in his blandest manner, being a South Carolinian himself, but the lady was angry and refused to make any concessions about bond or anything else. “I’ve heard about this dinky little old -town of Monroe before," she said, K “I expect you have, lady,” said the Chief, "for they have us down on the Uiap." “Well, I’ll never come through it agkiti, ind I have no money to put up a cash bond, so what will you -do about it?" she asked the officer. ‘’Weil in that case,” said th» Chief, "I guess we. will have to take thin, pigger and put him in jail and then rsend him to the roads for . speeding." # Thai did not suit the lady at all for she said she had bn go home and she could not drive. Then she de manded to see the mayor or the judge. So while the Chief held on to the colored boy, some one drove the lady over to the home of Judge J>m mond. where’ the indignant one said some more things. “Joti see." slip told tjje judge, "I am yfrnin South Carolina and don’t know anything about your old laws.” "Os course, now,” remarked his Hoqpr. "any one from South Caro lina would not be exported to know any bnv.” •if oil need not be so smart about it,” Said tile lady. The upshot of it was. that the lady paid .$7.25 and went away in a much disgusted frame of mind. She remarked tha’t out < Chief might have come t-rom South Carolina as she was informed, butt she would not claim him ever agaib And now the Chief is having boards and signs put up to show r oqy jSoultKCarolina friends what fhe' law is ipuD. where the dinky little old town limits begin.
