Infuriated white nien burned a negro church and drove 100 negro residents of Carterc't out of the town a day or two ag". as a result of an altercation be ween two white men and someiiegroes on a street in the town. The in cident afforded an example ol tbe contrast between the North and the South’s attitude toward thj fiey:ro. Had this altercation oc corred iri a Southern communi ty, the negroes not involved in the affray with the white men would not have been disturbed. The South has had its mobs, but almost invariably, those mobs have confined their attacks to individuals believed to be guilty of heinous offenses. Rarely have the innocent negroes been mo lested, when these outbreaks have occurred. The opposite is true in the North, in very many instances. The tendency there is to visit the wrath of the thob upon the race, and not discrimi nate between the innocent and the guilty. The affair at Carteret should be a revelation to the ne groes in the South who have been led to believe that the North is a utopia for them. 4' .z ^ Oats will be short in more ways than one if it doesn’t rain.

That's often thi case. A number of citizens of county have asked me to cifr' is visiting myself aa a "candidate for Prt>^e- h and vicinitv.’of the Recor u V,. oourt of this (bounty. I " hive reluctantly yielded to the wishes of my friends and I will therefore offer myself as acandi , date for the office of Prosecuting Attorney of the Recorder’s court subject to the action of the Dem- ocraric Primary to be held in June. ■ I believe that the Recorder’s’ court as it has been run has cost ttie tax pavers of Hoke county and those who have been tried therein, too much money. Tho Recorder's court being an infe rior court to the Superior court ought not cost as much as the Superior court although there has been and is now’ but very little difference between the costs of each. I am quite sure that when the General Assembly of North Carolina created recor der’s court in this state, it did not anticipate that there would be as much expense attached to the Reorder’s courts as there wouli^i^;in the Superior courts. TherlTs but little difference un less tbe Recorder’s court in this county cost more than it does in the Superior court I think that the solicitor can eliminate quite a bit of this "cost and I pledge ^ the voters tfcat if I am elected Prose necessdry expense and save the taxpayers this useless expense. T further pledge the voters that if l am elected to that office- I will prosecute every case without fear or favor and that no par tiality will be shown anvbody. H. W. B.
