NATIONAL BUTE OF GOLDSBORO SAYS THE SOUTH IS FRIEND OF HEGRO Th President's Object Is To Know His Needs and Help the Loiorea Man, He Says. Washington, Dec. 15. Outlining bis attitude toward the negro, resiaeni Wilson today told the University com mission on Southern Race Questions made up of representatives of eleven smith am cnlleees. that "our oDjeci to know the needs of the negro and ArmTinthAticallv helD him in every way that is possible for his good and Dr. C. H. Brough, of the University of Arkansas, chairman of the" commis sion, told the President the commis sion was organized to make an' impar tial study of the race question I from the standpoint of the negroes econom ic, hveienic. civil and moral (better ment. He said a deep investigation of the subject was being made with tne good of the negro always in mind. "I am very glad to express my sin cere interest in this work and sym pathy with it," said the President in reply to Dr. Brough. . I I ! "I think that men like yourselves can be trusted to see this great question at every angle. There isn't any ques tion, it seems to me, into which more candor needs to be put, or more thor ough human good feeling than this.; I know myself as a Southern man how sincerely the heart of the South de sires the good of the negro and the advancement of his race on all 'Sound and sensible lines, and everything that can be done in that direction is of the highest value. It is a matter of com mon understanding. J . i "There is a charming story told about Charles Lamb. The conversation in his little circle turned upon some men who were not present, and Lamb, who you know, stuttered, said,! 'I hate that fellow. His friend said, 'Charles, I didn't know you knew him.) Lamb said, I don't; I I can't hate a fellow I know. ' :-:V-; t "!" "I think that is a very profound hu man fact. You cannot hate a man you know. And our object is to know the needs of the negro and sympathetically help him in every way that is possible for his good and for our good. I can only bid you God speed in what is a very necessary and great undretak ing." ! ': President S. C. Mitchell, of Delaware Colege, told the opening session of the commission's conference that the Eu ropean war emphasized there must be something more than radical and na tional sentiment-in solving the ques tions of humanity. : T r "Inclusion and not exclusion : must be the policy pursued on all race ques tions," he said. 'I - Dr. Jas. H. Dillard, of the University of Virginia, said he was satisfied there was a growing sentiment among the white and negro leaders in the South in favor of the education of the negro race. . In his annual report Dr. Brough re viewed the problems of the race in the South. Under the Anna P. J Jeames Foundation, he reported 118 counties in twelve States last year improved their negro rural schools, while all the universities represented on the com mission were offering courses! on the race questions. Dr. Brough referred to segregation as "a mooted question" which forced the only cloudf on the horizon. "Time, wisdom and patience will solve the question," he said, "and so cial solidarity is inexorable. Segre gation in the departments of public service, railway and street cars, and even in cities may be exceedingly just, but the idea of farm segregations as a means of giving the white man a bet ter chance in agricultural and Indus trial competition with the negro seems a travesty upon Anglo-Saxon superior Ity and an injustice to the negro." The constructive work before ; the commission he declared to be: "The socializing and rationalizng of the impulses of an inferior race by im posing upon them the importance of preserving the racial Integrity of both races, securing industrial education and attaining the goal of economic equality of opportunity." I ' Dr. Brough believed there jwas too much zeal among negroes for the ex ternals of education and a growing dislike for domestic service. He plead ed for higher standards among teach ers and preachers of the negro race.

FOR EMPTY STOCKINGS Goldsboro, dear readers, has grown into a rear city, whether you realize it or not, and within her borders are hundreds of little children, whose par ents. though industrious, are poor and have a hard struggle to provide rai ment, food and fuel for their house holds: and to these Christmas brings more of anguish than of joy, in that they have not the wherewithal to fill the empty stockings of their j little ones dear to them as yours are to you and who cannot understand why the good old Santa Claus should pass over their humble homes, and not stop to fill their stockings. It is to bring Christmas to this class of childhood that the Empty Stocking fund of the Argus Is devoted. I The fund as we go to press stands as follows: Paul V.

The Eclair company has made "The Girl Sth-ge Driver", which will be shown at the popular Acme today, a veritable masterpiece of the plains. The story is a bewildering succes sion of scenic beauty. The wonderful Arizona sceneiry Is a spectacle of which one can never tire it is na ture's own f airland. I Mis8 Edna Payne as "The Girl ' Stage Driver" is a picture worth going: miles to see. She is one of the best riders and one of the very cleverest beauties of the screen and in this picture has more than out-done herself. This pic ture will appeal to both young and old; it is full of human interest; grip ping scenes and fine acting and clever handling of the cow ponies, in the management of which this company of players are experts. ' In connection with the above picture a two part drama "In , the Cow Coun try", another interesting drama of the West will be shown; also an extreme ly funny comedy that will please you and force you to laugh, "The! Wise Guys", with Earnest Shields and Betty Schade. THIS COUNTRY'S WHEAT CROP. The United States has approximate ly 300,000,000 bushels of wheat on hand this year for export and practically all of it will probably be sold I io the warring countries of Europe. Accord ing to a report issued today by the United States Department of Agricul ture the wheat production of the Uni ted States this year will be around 892,000,000 bushels and onJy 601,000,- 000 bushels will be needed for food consumption and seed putproses at home. i BOYS' CORN CLUB. The Wayne County Boys' Corn Club will meet Saturday, Dec. 19, at 10 o'clock in the new Court House at Goldsboro. The county prizes for this year will be awarded to the winners. There are 72 boys . in ; the Wayne County Club, and 17 of them have sent in reports. ! f i The publ'o is invited to attend this meeting. s Mr. A. K.

PRESIDENT DECIDES TO DISPATCH WARSHIPS If Canal Zone Is Being Used as a Base of Supplies the Governor Is Autho rized to Enforce the Law With Forces at His Command. Washington, Dec. 15. President Wilson and his cabinet decided today to send American warships to the canal zone to guard against neutrality violations by belligerent ships. Just how many ships will be dispatched will be determined after a full report has been received from Governor Goe thals, of the canal zone, and Captain Rodman, naval officer at the canal. Both Secretary Garrison and Secre tary Daniels made it clear today that the S delay in acting on Colonel Goe thals' request for destroyers was due to a lack of information. Mr. Garrison explained that the colonel had asked for j destroyers without specifying the purpose of their use. In reply to a message of inquiryColonel Goethals explained that wireless regulations were being violated in canal waters, and referred to the misuse of the can al zone as a base of supplies. The war department again asked for spe cific instances of what had occurred, but! tonight no further information had been received. If the canal zone is being used as a base of supplies, Colonel Goethals will be instructed to use his land forces. Should it develop that the wireless Is being used within the terrtorial wat ers 1 the ! navy department wll demand an explanation from its naval officers, as the question of wireless regulations is Up to the navy department. The probability is that some of the cruisers now on , tne Mexican west coast will be- sent to the zone instead of destroyers. At the British embassy it was sug gested that the British colliers which are! alleged to have been using their wreless within the terrtorial waters may not have receved word of the canal regulations on this point, as these only reached London yesterday. PRESIDENT MUST VETO ' OB APPROVE THE BILL. Immigration Bill-Containing the Liter acy Test Will be Sent to Mr. Wfl I son Without Amendment. Washington, Dec. 15. Although President Wilson announced today he did notl favor the literacy test in the pending immigraton bll.ndcatons Ren, pending immigration bill, ndications tonight jwere that the measure would be sent to hm for approval or veto with the literacy provision unchanged. No ' disposition to amend that section has been apparent n the senate, where the bill! is under consideration. It was the literacy test which prompted President Taft to veto the bill just before the close of his ad ministration. The measure, substan tially unchanged, was repassed by the house. President Wilson said today he jhad not decided what action he would take should it be passed also by the senate with the literacy test in cluded, t Consideration of committee amend ments virtually was completed today in the senate. The only important change was the elimination of the provison for medical inspectors on immigrant ships, which was stricken out 33 to 5. Seven for eign powers had protested against the sectionJ The senate substitute virtu ally reenacts the present inspection law. ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE. North Carolina, Wayne County.

Washington, Dec. 15. Of the 200 or more Democrats in Washington today 196 said they were strong for Claude Kitchin for majority leader and chair man of the way and means committee to succeed Oscar Underwood. It takes 116 to elect. There are about a dozen Democrats in the present Consress who were defeated for the nomination by other Democrats. A majority of these new members It is said, will vote for Kitchin. Finis Garrett, the man whom Kitch- in's opponents have put up against him, is sending out a letter in which brethren in his ' election as majority he asks the support of his Democratic leader. He does not want to be chair man of the ways and . means commit tee, he says. Kltchin's friends say Garrett will withdraw from the race as soon as he gets to Washington and finds out that Kitchin has the inside track. j ' ! But there Is going to be & good scrap over the job. Representative Henry, of Texas, now chairman of the rules committee, may be deposed as the head of this great committee. This would make Representative Pou, of North Carolina, chairman of the rules com mittee. Those who oppose Kitchin say that it would never do to make Kitchin leader and Pou chairman of the rules committee. They point to the fact that North Carolina already has practically all : of the best chair manships. :.' j , The second district congressman is considered the best rough and tumble orator in Congress. He never loses his head but Is ever ready to answer each and every question put to him by his Republican opponents. He comes nearer being an Oscar Underwood than any other man in Congress.

Lurana Sheldon says: Because I have enough to eat, drink and wear; because the laws that be are adequate for my little purpose; because I am growing old and may not be here long; because I have no children to suffer or be benefited, shall I calmly sit down and twirl my thumbs and assert no responsibility in the work of human progression? I can assure you that if I did so sit, I would first betake myself to a cy clone cellar. I would not wish any one to see me in my disgusting sel fishness, and, further, I should expect that nothing short of a typhoon gale would strike me a typhoon caused by the indignant thought waves of an army of intelligent women.

From the first crude picture shows, given in vacant storerooms, with lit tle attempt made to provide for venti lation, safety or comfort, much less a Pleasing environment, to the gorge ous "moving picture palaces" of to day, which are often too gorgeous, seems like a far step. Yet, it was made in a comparatively brief time. The enromous and rapid develop ment of the moving picture business has been remarkable, to say the least. There is probably no city or town in the United States with a population large enough to justify such a venture that does not have at least one mov ing picture show. In the larger cities they are found in great numbers. Some blocks contain as many as eight or ten picture theatres, when the lo-' cality is one frequented by women shoppers, while the suburban picture show has sprung up everywhere to fill what had become a genuine want In the evening suburbanities, and even families in the residence distrcts of larger cities, no longer have to visit the business part of town to find amusement. The chances are that there is a flourishing moving picture thea tre in a block or two of where they live. Mother and the children issue! gaily forth, "just as they are," with-! out the fussy task of "dressing up," ! and are treated to the latest moving picture offerings for the modest sum of 5 or 10 cents. That the profits derived ' from this business are tremendous has already been known, but it seems almost in credible that a moving picture con cern could make a profit of 1600 per cent in one year, as was brought out in a government suit against the al leged moving picture trust in Phila delphia No wonder the leading theatrical producers of the country have turned their attention to the "movies!" The United States Department of Agriculture has just completed figur ing the board bill of the American horse and finds that he consumes $16.67 worth of corn, $7.77 of oats, 65 cents of barley and $14.33 worth of hay annually. He eats 23 bushels of corn, : .21 of oats, one bushel of barley md one and one-fifth tons of hay each year. There are about 25,000,000 horses and mules on the farms of the United States and their annual feed bill is $984,684,000. The total amount of corn fed per year is 731,000,000 bushels, 525,000,000 bushels of oats, 27,000,000 bushels of barley and 29, 797,000 tons of hay.
