J., Telegram, a weekly Negro newspaper, recently returned from a trip in the South, and had the follow ing to say regarding his experience: "I have just returned from an in tensive tour of the South. In addi tion to meeting and talking with our agents and distributors who get our newspapers out to the more than 500,000 readers in the South, I met both Negroes and whites in the urban and rural centers. "Because of these personal observa tions, studies and contacts, I feel that I can speak with some degree of au thority. I am certainly in a better position to voice an opinion than the Negro leader who occupies a suite in downtown New York and bases his opinions on the South from the dis torted stories he reads in the Negro Press and Daily Worker. "The racial lines in the South are so clearly drawn and defined there can be no confusion. When I am in Virginia or South Carolina I don't wonder if I will be served if I walk into a white restaurant. I know the score. However, I have walked into several right here in New Jersey where we have a civil rights law, and have been refused service. "The whites in the South stay with their own and the Negroes do like wise. This one fact has been the eco nomic salvation of the Negro in the South. Atlanta, Georgia, compares favorably with Newark in size and population. Negroes there own and control millions of dollars worth of business. All the Negro business in New Jersey will not amount to South. The Safe Bus Company in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, owns and operates over a hundred. If a Negro in New Jersey or New York had the money and attempted to ob tain a franchise to operate a line, he would not only be turned down, but he would be lucky if he didn't get a bullet in the back. "Negroes and whites get along much better together in the South than Northern agitators would have you believe. Of course, I know that there are some sore spots down there, and we have them up here also. But it is not as bad as it is painted. The trouble in the Jsoutn stems irom dumb, ignorant whites and Negroes, not from the intelligent, Detter ciass element of the two races. "The attitude of the Southerners toward our race is a natural psy chological reaction and altermatn 01 the War Between the States. Ne groes were the properties of. these DeoDle. Uvernignt tne siaves ucwij full-fledged American citizens enjoy ing the same rights as their former owners. "Certainly you couldn't expect the South to forget this in 75 or even 150 years. That reeling itas passeu from one generation to another, but it is not one of hatred for tne mgro. No section of the country has made more progress in finding a workable solution to the Negro problem than the South. Naturally, souinerners are resentful when the North attempts to ram a civil rights program down their throats. "I have pointed out in dozens of editorials that the white people oi equal of any man; and when we shall have done this the entire world, In cluding the South, will accept us on our terms. Our present program of threats and agitation makes enemies out of our friends. Sunday School Lesson. (Continued from Pag Seven) to be able to drop back from leader ship into the ranks, and to recognize with cheerfulness the - justice of .the change. While Barnabas was an apostle, in his own right and became known and respected all the church over, ' he gracefully and unselfishly relinquished his place of prominence to one whom he recognized as called particularly of God for a special mis sion to the Gentiles. ' His greatness as an apostle was the true greatness which forgets self and selfish aims in a deep devotion to a great cause the Kingdom of God. He was as happy to serve m the ranks as he was to serve as one in command, for "he was a good man, full of faith and of the Holy Spirit." Government Loans Cotton OftenHbove Market Prices much as our race has invone city in jthis country are not only our friends, Georgia. This is also true in South Carolina and Virginia. "New Jersey today boasts of more civil rights legislation than any other State in the Union, and the State government itself practices more dis crimination than Virginia, North, Ca rolina, South Carolina or Georgia. New Jersey employs one Negro in the Motor Vehicle Department. All of the States above mentioned employ plenty. "No matter what a Negro wants to do, he can do it in the South. In Spartanburg, South Carolina, Ernest Collins, a young Negro, operates a large funeral home, a taxicab busi ness, a filling station, grocery store, has several buses, and runs a large farm and a night club. "Collins couldn't do all that in New Jersey or New York. The only bus lines operated by Negroes are in the but they want to see us get ahead as a race. As a matter of fact, we are more prejudiced than those whom we accuse of being prejudiced. "The entire race problem in Amer ica ia wronsr. Our approach is wrong.

Let ' us demonstrate to the world by our nV ing standards, our conduct, our abil ity and intelligence that we are the Cotton farmers in Robson, Scot land, Harnett, Cumberland and Hoke Counties, are losing hundreds of Jol- lars by selling their cotton below the government support price, says Dan F. Holler, Extension Marketing spec ialist at State College. Mr. Holler, upon a recent tour of these counties, found farmers selling their cotton to independent buyers for 31.50 to 32 cents per pound when the loan value on the same qualities ranged from 32.57 to 36.12 cents per pound. Such a practice is expensive to farmers, Mr. Holler said, adding that farmers should take advantage of the free classing service and place their cotton under government loan when the loan value is above the mar ket price. A cotton producer can procure a loan by placing his cotton in any of the approved bonded warehouses. If the cotton has been sampled at the gin, the producer can get his money after the class card is returned and the loan papers filled out. In case the bales have not been sampled at the gin, the warehouseman can send a sample for classification and a loan can be obtained in this manner, Mr. Holler said.

Oakey, Jr., accompanied by his daughters, Dorothy and JttoHie, were enroute to Edenton when they spied a big rattle snake slithering across the' road. Mr. Oakey drove over the snake, then stopped to see if it had been killed by the impact of the car, but discovered the snake was uninjured. He then found a large stake and killed the rattler which, ac cording to Mr. Oakey's estimate, was about six feet long, and as big around as a man's arm. The snake had seven rattlers on its tail tip, but it appeared thai a number of the buttons had broken off. A second rattler, about the same size, was found dead near the scene.

Specialist Suggests Ways To Store Corn Feed hogs out to full weight; in clude more corn in broiler mashes; finish beef animals earlier this fall; and convert tobacco barns, empty tenant houses, potato and peach-grad ing sheds and unused tobacco ware houses as emergency storage facil ities. These were a few of the sugges tions offered this week by State Col lege Extension Service specialists for handling the biggest corn crop , in the history ot North Carolina. The suggestions were made at a meeting called by David S. Weaver, assistant director of the extension Service. Mr. Weaver outlined the problem by citing the latest crop forecasts. "North Carolina is expect ed to have a 74-million bushel corn DO YOU LOOK AT THE WORLD THROUGH TAINTED' GLASSES?

The sample will be sent to Raleigh where it is classed and a card returned to the producer show ing grade, staple and loan value of each bale sampled. Only qualified ginners in counties where an appli cation has been made for this ser vice may take these samples, the specialist said. A ginner not quali fied for taking samples should pro cure a cotton sample bond irom ins county agent. Loans this year are made on a gross weight basis. When loans were formerly used to any extent, in South Carolina they were made on a net weight basis. When a loan is procured, the far mer has until July 31, 1949 to re deem it in case there is an advance in the market, Mr. Holler said.

Counting a six-million, bushel carryover, we will have 80 million bushels to store or sell." In response to : Mr. Weaver's re quest for suggestions,- Jack Kelley, extension swine specialist, said that obviously it's time to. start feeding pigs out to full weight again. '.'North Carolina farmers have often market" ed their hogs at weights tinder 180 pounds," he said, "Feed shortages in past years have encouraged this trend.' With a normal feedJlivestock price relationship, farmers will, now get their greatest return by market ing hogs at or near 240 pounds.'1 John W. Weaver, agricultural en gineer for the Experiment Station, suggests that farmers convert any empty building they have into a tem porary storage bin. "The main thing is to get a roof over it .and a floor under it," he said. The specialists agreed that, the big gest opportunity for conserving the crop lies in the hands of the small farmer who usually' sells his corn in the Ml and then has to buy expen-j sive feed during the winter.
