' ~ J id- ?:Tt*e?ether-day?while in cohversa? tinn With One of the Tending poWpH citizens, a man that has "dough,"'the ? question*-was fired into us ^Why is it- that in these enlightened days, in = -these days' when-the Negro is. paying taxes and more taxes, these days ,r when the colored man is making such JO--a-marked improvement in his lumluit, so much so, that the papers every now and then have to admit that there are d on some of the chain gangs and in is. some of the jails of the State more e, wnue convicts than colored; that you never see a colored man sitting or standing as a federal jurnian? Well e wait a. minute. But wait a minute, C- I mean, he says, not in the Piedmont _ section. Then we began to scratch I_ our heads and Work our brains for a reasonable answer to give him. We * thought first of who sat on the throne l_ at Washington, well we remembered d of 8 years since the democrats tipped their hats and bid adeau. Th,en we ^-thought ^again.: has a colored .man J ever been drawn in yearo gone by? |_ We remembered very readily that >s they had, so we were lost for answer. q That would hold with any Negro that was thinking. We simply said, we could not understand why. We were ~ ashamed to admit that the reason, the r real reason was the colored men have in that, like in so many other things, just simply been playing the cat and monkey act, that's all. Qf course like ^ the cat, very many of us, while the pan is smitten from the burn, sware and bedamngd that no more, never no more are we going to cut the fool, and burn ourselves; simply' to be * cursed at by the other fellows if we even whine while the pleasant odor flows forth from the chestnuts as ^ they eat and smiie. But that soon is ^ forgotten and history repeats itself. ^ I have be.en informed that the names ^ - -i * . " " " " parties just where they get the names ^ from, do not know, or who makes the selection, liut it is l'ceiingly strange ^ to me, out- of the many colored men or "means and standing , iir thirr~titiF ?-tricts, somebody is shrewd enough to ^ hand pick a list And by careful inspection and investigation, no colored man's name ever is "dropped" in and j no colored man's name eve'r will be put in as long as the game is played as it is.?The rule seems -to?be-mrsr j'When you ask for nothing you get " less." It would not hurt a bit to [* draw a colored man every now and ,e then on our petit juries. It Would l" muke the feeling of the colored jeiti*N zen more at ease. It would help to e do away with that gneral unrest lhat is most everywhere in the State. But then may be that is too far in the dis tant. But I kpo.w something could be done along federal lines. Don't be deA ceived. If colored men 15 and 20 years...agor* could be drawn as juries, , they can be today; if nGrt, why not'.' y, ColoretTmen of the State \eed to bee gin to think. There are otfler things k that are alarming, but juries is what we are contending for now. "* r "The Fool." r ?^Greenville Locals ~ t ? " Mr. Robert W. Bagnall, an execu?~TTv~e of th(TTT. A. A. C.
