NEGROES SHOULD BUY LAND IN COMMUNITIES TO THEMSELVES it is Declared. “Give th^Nemre a Flagruatly Ua- fair Advaatage far Drtvipi White Raleigh. N. C.. Jaly 15.—Chair man Clarence Poe announce* thet tbe Program Committee of tke Na tional Farmers’ Union has asked Local Unions at their next meetings to discuss the problem of segregat ing the races in the South’s rural districts as is already the poRcy In the towns. It is asserted that thou* ands of white farmers are being driven from their homes by the grow ing cumber of negro farmers around them and the consequent lack of ade quate white social life. The hope is to de.elcp a public sentiment which will require negroes to buv land In fommuuiticB to themselves instead of breaking up white coumunfti*** bv !ndi8~riminatcly sandwiching white r.nd negro farmers together. In die- cuasing the matter further, Mr. Poe said: "For th«* reed of both races, the negroes sfcouid buy land and settle as largely as possible in neighbor- hoede of their own. For example fifty negro families and fifty whit® families together in a district can have only half a* good schools for either race as they could have if all the hundred families were of one race; and with regard to churches, libraries, co-operative societies, social meetings, and nearll| all other agen cies of v’tal civilization tbe same thing .s true. To have half the com munity composed of a separate race cuts in half all the social power for progress. "The big fact »e have to face ie tbat in thousand* and thousands o’ communities »n tbe South, the negro farmers are not only subjecting the •*bite farmers to mo-e or loss disas trous economic competition by tbeir lower standards of living, but la many sections the growing number cf negroes is driving the white weople to tbe towns for social reasons. When the white population ’n a commu nity becomes too small or too sc-r*. * tered. when tbe white fariheUc wife and children find more negro neigh bors than white neighbors around them, a trefnendbus motive i« given for moving away—and if the farmer soiae negro evil! probably buv hia land at a sacrifice because other white farmer* have the same feeling and do not care to buy land in a pre dominantly negro community. Such is the negro’s flagrantly unfair ad vantage for driving white'people off > terms mad taking the rural South for himself. Public sentiment mas* find us a. remedy.” Abbevi lie fieemee’e-race-course day to see tbe running of tko eveat* which carry with them tke title of supremacy in South Carolina.

Lewis.’an old Confederate soldier, was murdered at bis home, three miles west of Cornwell, in this county, on tbe night of April 24 last, tbe motive evidently being robbery, as a watch aad pistol beloagiBg to the deceased were missing. On the following day the murder was dis covered by James Dove, a farm band, when he went to the bouse to per form morning chores, and the alarm was spread hurriedly through the neighborhood. It was at first thought that it might have keen a ease of suicide, hut the finding of two wounds, one in the side aad the other in the back, disco ad ted this theory end the coro ner’s Jury brought ' to n verdict of death at the hands of soase unknown party. • . ► : Mr Lewis lived alotie^nr lance from the nenraaf end as he was n men of so it was svidaat that ha was mur dered for asoney that ha was sup- possd to have an the prom joes.
