While no doubt, there has been a large number to leave this section, yet the total \w l hot materially affect conditions in the south. It will have a tendency to stir our people to the realization of- their responsibilities and cause them to take on more of the actual work which has been performed by the negro through a custom which has been handed down to us for these many years. The going of the negro will eventually mean the coming in of substantial and thrifty farmers from.other sections ot the country and the result will be most gratifying and profitable to all section.- so affected. . . Reports show that the negro is not faring so well In hbrthcrn climates and that many of them are_return- iliff to their former homes and employers. They ttre not satisfied with conditions in eastern'and western states and tho people in those states are irot satisfied with the negro. They do not understand the negro and his peculiarities nor does the negro of the-south understand the characteristics of tho white man of the north. These conditions, will soon settle the exodus question and in a few years the negro will be home coming, and glad to get back. That is if there be a place for him at that time. An interesting rcporLof statistics on the negro has 1 recently becii issued by I’rof. Walter F. Wilcox, of Cornell University. He goes into the negro problem Quite freely and his compilations show that the ne- gro if. dying rapidly in the eastern and western states and that tho death rate far exceeds that of the birth rath. Here ere a few figures from Prof. Wilcox s statistics taken from an exchange that will be of in- tercst* “The census figures compiled by Prof. Wilcox show .that in New England there arc 135 deaths among'the negroes to 100 births. In New York six j nenrhes die to every one born; in Pennsylvania there deaths to one birth; in Michigan the rate is 17 to one birth; and in Minnesota 65 negroes.die one is born. At such rates as these, how long c negro population ip tho North, Now SngaHf > it survive!
