LIBRARY FOR NKGKOKS
The dilectohs^of the Ui hlatv.
County Public Library has dotu a
rather unprecedented thing. Recently
it purchased a biick- building
for the use of a lilvrary for
colored citizens. Kyuientlyf- the
directors believe that the colored
people, like others, can, will and"
do react" to educational advantages
as may be provided l'or them. The
fact that the directors *are composed
of high class men and wo
niuii is liiijjfjruuijt uul, inat (iocs
not spell the whole story. There
must have been behind their action
a community sentiment which
enabled-them to take such a step,
otherwise as liberal as they might i
bo, such a step would hardly .have
been taken, especially when it is!
remembered that, so far, the
whites themselves have not such
a building, renting instead.
Things of this kind are heart V.,
ening and appreciated by the
thoughtful colored citizens. So
o much has been said about the meager
provisions made by the South
for the educational improvements
of its colored citizens that acts of
this kind should receive more than
passing notice. It is an indication
that more and more the whites of
the South are growing in liberalism
and are determined to be fair>
and just in dealing with them?*
that is the thoughtful ones.

\ By "CAP JIM- \ ; ,
"A pleasant hour". On the 1st 1
of October the Superintendent of
the W. B. Hospital handed in her
resignation to go into affect the
10th of November. This was a
shock to the board and an act
which brought real regret. For
the reason that for the pass five
year's the hospital under the efficient
and congenial management of
Mrs. E. C. Dudley and by the way
the changing that name from Miss
Horry t0 Mrs. Dudley caused all
the trouble. Mr, Dudley being an
instructor in one of the leading
-ehools of?North Carolina desired
lo have his better half near him.
Well that's about the jway of all
mankind?at least at the beginning?.So
she like a good wife,
decided ^o leave the Institution,
>\ in i e sue nau made sucn a splendid
record as manager and go in.o
the field of home building. So
in, honor of her work at the hospital
quite a few of her friends
and friends of the hospital wert
invited to be present Monday ev'eitingj
7:30 at the W. B. Temple to
join in a program of commendaion
and regret. The occasion was
.ighly enjoyed by those present,
i'he many roses thrown to her by
the different speakers proved tha.
mankind still appreciate quality
and worth. All of the doctors were
present and each lavishly poUreu
>ut praise for efficient service rendered
at her post of duty. Then
.he civic side in which she played
ner part so well came in foi
praise by thos^ thaf had-beenbenefited
by her service, especially b>
listening to that sweet solo voice
?f hers. The program was brought
.o a happy ending with the introduction
of the now superintenden.
in the person of Miss O. T. Nelams,
.who hag been for the pass b
years the head nurse in the hospital.
The' board followed a mighty
.me rule, promoting one that has
.proved herself wot thy.
Another nurse'"who conies to be
aie el the statf was alsoo intro
.uced. From the program all
..vended their way into the next

setiTis that the gods of fate have
ordained that colored enterprises
spring up, glow and flourish about
mid-day; at evening wither

Quite a few of the educators of

but praise for those' that render- New
ed service?save one?and it seems n'?ht
like regardless of how far in ad- sent
vance in inter-racial understand
ing there is one thing that a few ^
of our white friends can't understand:
When addressing any kind jyjr
of a colored group, teachers or famj]
what not, that to call them 'Nig- Have
gers' or 'Darkies' just turns their are j
stomachs upside down. No man ter.
or woman impresses a colored au- Su
dience as being much of a friend into
that comes with that "Nogger' or M. I
'Darky" stuq. And when one is this
invited to make a talk to colored uual
teachers, it seems to us that he netts
or she ought be happy to address manj
them in a term that common senst Gr
and human feeling would dictate, obsei
Not to be obnoxious. We say" Sund
frankly that any one that has Pro?
stood so far away from, and know 'on ^

people appreciate as to use, the
words 'Nigger' and 'Darky" ought 1

we know that common courtesy d*. j0|in

the address is over. But I tel. ^
you its bad enough when one is or.
