Present Conditions, it It Declared, "(live the Negro a Flagrantly Un? fair Advantage for Driving White People Off the Farms and Taking the Rural South for Himself." Raleigh, N\ C, July 10.?Chairman Clarence Poe announces that the Program Committee of the National Farmers' . Union has asked Local' Unions at their next meetings to dis? cuss the problem of segregating the races In the Smith's rural districts as Is already the policy In the towns. It If asserted that thousands of white farmers are being driven from their homes by,the growing number of negro farmers around them and the COnetQUtnt lack of adequate white social life. The hope is to develop a public sentiment which will require negroes to buy land in communities to themselves Instead of breaking up white communities by Indiscrimi? nately sandwiching white ami negro fanners together. In discussing the matter further, Mr. Poe said: "For the good of both racet, the negroes should buy land and settle as) largely at possible in neighborhoods of their own. For example, fifty ne? gro families and fifty white families together In t district can have only half as good schools for either race as they could have if ull the hundred families were of one race; and with regard to churches, libraries, co-oper? ative societies, social meetings, und nearly ull other agencies id" vital civilization the same thing is true. To have half the community com? posed of a separate race cuts in half all the social power for progress. "The big fact we have to face is that in thousands and thousands of communities in the South, the negro farmers are not only subjecting the white farmer to more or less disas? trous economic competition by their lower standards of living, but in many sections the growing number of negroes is driving the white peo? ple to the towns for social reasons. When the white population In t com? munity becomes too small or too scat? tered, when the white farmer's wife and children find more negro neigh? bors than white neighbors around them, a tremendous motive Is given for moving away?and If the farmer moves some negro will probably buy his land at a sacrifice because other white farmers have the same feeling and do not care to buy land in a pre? dominate negro community, Such Is the negro's flagrantly unfair ad? vantage for driving white people off the latins and taking the rural South tor himself, Public sentlmonl must find uw a remedy."

Young White Mnn Was Bruised end Severely Shocked by Blow on Heed. Columbia, July 12.?Unconscious, an unknown young white man was found on the top <>f a box car of an outgoing Seaboard Air Lino freight about 1" o'clock yesterday morning. He was taken to the Columbia hos? pital, ami an examination proved that he was bruised about the lace and was suffering from a lick on the hi od. When the outgoing freight was In the vicinity of Fl m wood avenue, one of the trainmen found the man. The train was stopped and he was taken off. In passing tinder one of the bridges In the Columbia yards it is supposed that he struck his head on a beam, and this blow rendered him unconscious. The evidences of the blow on the lace bear out this the? ory. Attempts were made yesterday to ascertain the young man's name, and whence he came, or where he was going. At one time he said his name was Smith, but again, he said it was Chambers. Hi gave his address as Jacksonville. IK was suffering from the shock, which made him delirious. If no internal injuries arise, and none are now apparent, he will be all right in several days. REDUCE PRISON SENTENCE. President Wilson Grants Clemency to Former Ncwbcrry Banker. Washington, July 11.?President Wilson today commuted to one year and a day the five-year sentence of Milton Carlisle, convicted at Green? ville, S. C, October 26, UJ10, of mis? application of the funds of the Na? tional Bank of Newherry, S. C, of which he was formerly president. Carlisle, who is 73 years old, has not yet served any of his term and the president commuted the sentence with the privilege of reconsideration at any time it appeared that continued imprisonment would dangerously impair the prisoners' health. Carlisle was indicted on 162 counts and acquitted on all except live. An investigation by the department of Justice indicated, It is said, that of the live counts he was probably guilty on only two, ivolvlng less than $200.

Tobacco Market Opened Thursday for 1U1J Season. Manning, July 10.?The tobacco season opened auspiciously here today so far as prices are concerned, though the offerings were rather light.

I believe that the information contained In this letter will be of interest to many of us who have not yet decided as to whether or not we wish to again en? gage in the liquor traffic. Yours very truly, T. B. Jenkins. Sumter, S. C. June 27, 1913. Attorney General, Topeka, Kan. Dear Sir: 1 remember as S boy in the early eighties that the minstrel show comedians sang a song about your State which ran something like this: Potatoes grow small in Kansas Potatoes hardly grow at all In Kan? sas, Potatoes grow small They dig 'em In the fall, And eat 'em skin unvl all In Kansas. Xatunlly I always thought of you out there as small potatoes, but no? ticed last year a report In one of the automobile trade journals regarding the almost unbelievable number of motor cars you had bought, and as it is not likely that people who use au? tomobiles to any great extent are living altogether on a diet of the skin and all of small potatoes, I am about ready to regard you In a different light. I notice that your State has been prohibition since 18S0, anil I am just wondering if that fact has any con? nection with your exodus out of the small Potato period and into the gas? oline era. We are to have an election there soon to determine if we wish to abolish our four year trial of prohi? bition, and if you will answer the fol? lowing questions for me, 1 am sure that our people will all be glad to know if thirty-three years of prohibit? ion In your State seem to have had something to do with separating you from the small potato. Please do not hesitate to gather any of the Information from outside sources if necessary, and expense me with all cost incurred. What per cent of illiteracy did you show in 1880? What per cent of illiteracy di.J you show in your last census? What per cent of your population were inmates of insane asylums in 1880? What per cent of your population are inmsites of insane asylums to? day? Has crime increased or decreased since 1880, and by what indications? What were your bank savings de? posits in 1880? What are your bank savings de? posits today? What is your average wealth per capita? What is the average wealth per '?ap;ta in any neighboring State? What is your death rate?
