I have found it i to be one of the best Negro paper? ' that has ever been published in The SoutlL I like this paper because in jt we do not find only the "lowdowns" of our race. In most papers if a crime is | ally printed on the front page in large red prints so that it might atttact wo?ld-wide attention. But not sd with the "Leader". In the ? "Leader" Is found only cTean and sporty news throughout..We should be proud of our paper, and should purchase one each week. I put aside five (5) c( nts each week for this paper. The "Leadv er" is indeed a great paper. There should not be a Negro m ISotrth Carolina who should regret paying $2.00 per year for a good, clean paper of his race.
