It ha^ TTOt- hcen the ptrticjr of
this writer to put too much of ihis
l* personal opinion in this column,
s but we feel that in this oase it
d is necessary. Many of you do not
0 know that We live in Columbia.
<5 Woll, we do. And now let us re6
late to you a little story about ^
Columbia: .
On that eofd SatuFdayTbefore
^ the holidays we were shopping.
8 We walked out of McCrorey's
ir Dime Store and were just, about to "\
e go into- Silver's when a pitiable '
sight met our gaze. In the Main
n Street entrance to the store an old
1 woman was seen groveling in the
k dust as if her last _ breath was
leaving her body. Around her was
e a group of colored and white peo"
pie, all looking curiously on, but
none anxious or wining tn l id the
? old woman. We walked up and
s asked what w?s wrong and we
found that she had fallen from a
,v heat stroke, which she had got
'? when she walked into the crowded
^ Dime Store. We, ?vith the ass is
tar.ce of l.-nother young man car?
r iedj her arounth the1 corner to the ~
" cab stand and? put her in a taxi.,
We asked the ^flriv<jr to wait for
? a few lninutes su wPt'ould hnd her
daughter, who, she said, was in
'' the store. In the meantime, we
tried to get hor a drink of water
V from a Drug Store, but the white ?
". elerks in the pice had no time to
.'wait upon colored citizens. We
rushed down to anotlier dru,g store
and bought some aromatic spirits
k of ammonia and came back to the
taxi. We found the driver in a
rage, because, he said, we were
l" j keeping him from making money.
He charged us fifty cents, but dar
" i l'ied the old lady to her destination
jaft:r we could not find her daugh
Iter.

We are not looking for personal
y glory in this narrative, but we are ^
trying to show how greed, selfish'
ness, and avarice are eating up
I oitr dear old city. Can't we do
I something i.'.bout it?
