At a meeting of the committee on build ings of the University's board of . trustees, it has been decided to let the Episcopalians have for their new church a plot of University land ad joining the church property on the east. This plot, 65 feet wide and stretching through from Franklin street to the cimpui, it part of what b been known in recent yean as the Alexander place. The late Eben Alexander lived there for about thir ty years. The , executive committee of the trustees decided two or three weeks ago to let the church have the land, but made its decision conditional up on the approval of the committee on buildings. This latter committee de cided the transfer would not inter fere with the expansion of the insti tution. The price will be agreed upon later. This action of the trustees is in line with similar action last year, when they agreed to part with enough land, farther west along Franklin street, to make room for the new Methodist church. A gift of f50,000 from W. A. Er win of Durham for thereetion of a iiew Episcopal church here was an nounced last spring. The parish has bought land from Mrs. Barbee on the west, but it was found that because of the lew elevation of this plot, and tbe character of the soil, it would be iiiuch better to put the new edifice on the east. A. request to sell was then made to the Universtiy trustees. At the same meeting at which it approved this plan, the committee on buildings made an inspection of the improvements on the campus. It then found that since its last previous meeting the history building had been completed and that the concrete structure of the languages building had been carried up three stories. The work is going ahead according to schedule. There has been little or no delay as a result of the railway shopmen's strike. C. D.

I-" 20.73 20.7 A few days ago Mr. Vinton Foun tain heard an address made by Mr. C. D. Matthews of the horticultural department on the raising and mar keting of sweet potatoes and sa much impressed was he with it, particularly the marketing part, that he askekd Mr. Matthews to come to Tarboro last night and tell it to the directors of the local association. Mr. Matthews thoroughly under stands the sweet potato as he has been making an intensified study of it for the last eight years. The main thougTTt in his address last night was this: The raising and selling potatoes is purely and simply a big business pro position and must be so handled. To the directors he stated that one of the first things they must do was to adopt a firm, steady policy and stick) to it, and too stand behind their local manager. He also said that in many of these potato associations the direc tors had made the very serious mis take of rot giving proper attention to the management, but leaving it en tirely to the local managers, which had always brought trouble. The potato industry was'a big af fair and like the raising of other veg etables it had become to be a special ized industry of the highest type. Our state can easily produce good pota toes, and no state in the union has any better advantages than North Carolina. To make the potato- industry, he said that in the first place there must be volume, and by that he meant that there must be a sufficient quantity raised. The product must be a high quality and the handling of the po tato must be of a uniform size and the crop must be distributed proper ly not enly as to time but as to ter ritory. He related how the California ap ples had been shipped to Asheville and sold there at a big profit when no country in the world can raise finer apples than Western North Car olina and this was due to the fact that the California apple was of a high quality and properly handled. . He stated to the directors that in a few days there would be in Golds- boro a school opened for the benefit of giving special personal instruction to the local managers throughout the state and at this school the direc tors and the growers themselves were invited. Here the managers will be taught how to handle the crop in the house, how to sell the crop and how to har vest it also. There will be many lec tures that will be intended to cover every phase of the sweet potato that may be of service to the directors, the managers and the growers also. Mr. Vinton Fountain stated that the board of directors had purchased 8000 crates at a cost of 14 1-4 cents each. Mr. Mann stated to the directors that the warehouse was now in course of construction and it would be com pleted in plenty of time to receive I the year's crap. In speaking of the conditions that will be brought about by the coming of the boll weevil, Mr. Mann said that if our people sat down and al lowed this pest to come on top of them and threw them into a panic the first yaar after a warning had been given for twenty years, and especial ly with the natural advantages that Edgecombe county possessed, it was nobody's fault but that of the people themselves. And he spoie, thejtruthj The. sales agents of the Standard Oil Company of Eastern Carolina held their regular annual meeting here yesterday in Hotel Farrar. The purpose of this meeting was to elect a delegate to the annual asso ciation that meets sometime during next month at a place to be desig nated by the committee.

F ST BOARD ELON TOMORROW BIG DAVIDSON GAM PAfGM 15 ASSURED CHARLOTTE, Sept. 22. Ten church 's in the Concord Presbytery, where the first part of the North Car olina cmpaign for a $600,000 en dowment and expansion fund for Davidson College is being conducted, have gene over the top and many more have nearly completed their quotas. This announcement is made by R. M. Miller, Jr., of Charlotte, chairman of the campaign in North Carolina. Five of the churches over the top are located in Iredell county, ' of, which F. A. Sherrill of Statesville is chairman. These churches include lit tle Joe's Church of Barium Springs, Harmony of Harmony, Bethesda of Statesville, Statesville First Presby terian, and Fifth Creek of Cleveland. The Betl.esda church oversubscribed its quota one hundred percent, the first church, in the state to report an oversubscription so high, while Little Joe's Church was the first to raise its quota. Other churches among the ten in clude the Concord First Presbyterian in Cabarrus county, which according to J. A. Cannon, has not only raised I its quota but is still at it for more, the Cooleemee and the Mockaville churches in Davie county, the SaHs- bury Second Presbyterian in Rowan county, and the Yadkinville church in Yadkin county. "On the basis of these reports and reports from churches that have al most raised their quotas, it -seems that the success of the Davidson campaign is more than assured," de clared Mr. Miller in making the an nouncement. "I feel confident that the Concord Presbyterian will have completely raised its quota by the end of the present Week, and that other Presbyteries will follow in sim ilar successful succession." CHICAGO, Sept. -22. (By Asso ciated Press.) Mutual understand ing, sympathy and patience between the white and negro races, a remedy that necessarily is slow and which can come completely only after the dis appearance of prejudice, are recom mended in the report of the commis sion on racial relations, appointed by former Gov. Frank O. Lowden soon after the Chicago race riot in July, 1919. Chose.i to study means of prevent ing future clashes between the two races mere than three years ago and : to promote a means of better under standing, the commission made fifty nine recommendations, among them the fol'owing: "That police and militia work out a detailed plan for joint action in the control of race riots; that police and deputy sheriffs and militia be so dis tributed as adequate! yto protect both races in white and negro neighbor hoods. "Negroes are more commonly ar rested, subject to police identifica tion, and convicted than white of fenders. On similar evidence they generally are held and convicted on more serious charges and given long er sentences. We point out that these practices and tendencies are not only unfair to negroes but weaken the machinery of justice and' produce misleading statistics of negro crime. "We recommend that police pay particular attention to the so-called "athletic clubs" on the South Side which we have found to be a fruit ful source of race conflict and that when race conflict arises or is immi nent the members and meeting places of such clubs be searched for arms and that, if deemed necessary, such clubs be closed." The commission de clared such clubs were a contribut ing factor to the race riot of July. Special to The' Southerner. DAVIDSON, Sept. 22. -When the Klon iind Davidson snails clash on ,t Sprunt Field tomorrow the lid of the 1922 football season will be offic ially pried off'nnd the Wildcats will have started on a schedule of more than Usual interest. Manager Hugh Smith has arranged a representative schedule calling for games with one Virginia team, one Georgia team, three teams from the Palrpetto and five from the Old North State. Klon fell before the Presbyterians last year to the tune of -17-0, but Dame Rumor has it that the Chris tians have been preparing a surprise for. the Wildcats and Sprunt Field should l.e the scene of an interesting grid battle Saturday. Next week the Wildcats invade South Carolina t play P. C Of the three games played between the two institutions each has won one by the scant margin of 7-0 and the third ended in a scoreless tie. Though bro thers in doctrine all friendship ceases at Clinton on the 29th when the Red and Black warriors start out to at tempt to repeat their victory of last year.

"There must be niore and better housing to accommodate the great in crease in negro population which was at the rr.te of 148 percent from 1910 to 1920. This situation will be made worse by methods tending toward forcible segregation of exclusion of negroes." The commission in its report de clared the members were convinced "that the moral responsibility for race rioting does not rest upon the hoodlums alone, but also upon all cit izens, white or negro, who sanction force or violence in inter-racial rela ting or who do not condemn and com bat the spirit of racial hatred thus expressed."
