- Dm4??mr-M--C..- June?One of
the most significant gifts to Ne?-??gro
education in many years is ;
that~of .1200,000 given by Beuja-1
mm H. Duke, tobacco magnate, j
to "Kittrell college, about fifty;
r miles from this city. John R. j
i Hawkins, financial 'secretary of
church, was largely?responsible
for the donation which is Unconditional
except that SlOjQ.OOO of
it. stock lp t,hq~Sniir.herri Power
company., be used as an endowment
fund. Hitherto the school's
endowment has been only three^
thousand dollars. It is the ward
of the Second Episcopal district
of the A. M. E. church.

LABOR PRESS DENOUNCES
MOBBISM
A news sheet of the International
Labor Press of America,
forwarded by William English
Walling to the N.. A. A. C. P.,
contains a strong denunciation
of mob law. The comment is
occasioned by the' storming of
the jail in Dallas where-two Negroes
were confined, in the
course of which a number of the
/mobbists were shot.
"If accused men are guilty/'
says the Labor Press sheet, "the
place to determine that fact is
iiythe courts. If they are inno
- cent they surely should have a
chance~To~p?ove"tfrat~iimoceiiee
in the courts'. Few men have
heen ahle to nrove their innomobT
and mob.rfeayfc
lynched many innocent men.
"Mobs are the last word in antithesis
of organised governmenf
Organized government
means order, and mobs mean disorder
and their conduct is just as
unlawful as the conduct of What
ever guilty men they lynch&feherg;
is not one valid excuse fdr mob
