"NEGROES AS .URORS" Under the above caption, th< Greenville News treats most sen sibly the jury .question insofar a. Negroes are concerned. Says tlv News: "Jury duty is a civil ser vice and, so far as we can see has no social bearing. The pros pect of having Negroes - servim occasionally on juries is not a matter of any gnat excitement.*' And why should there bo any "ex , citemont?*'. Certainly, t h o r should be norte on the ground' that colored men are n#t infelli , gent enough or are lacking ii K sound judgement Qiul common BCnse. Are not Negroes doing.an; ; nnd everything in which the qual . ities are and must be shown? Ne groes have ever done well what ever civic duties he ha? been call ed upon to perform, in war o: peace. One thing is sure, th more Negroes there he, the les prejudice and" unfairne?^ ther would be in the jury" box. Besides, colored people, with some of them called for jury service, would have more confidence in the courts. Unfortunately they have but little as it is. And who can blame them? How can there > be much confidence in any institution in which the law is violated, even though it sets itself up * i as the dispenser of justice, according to the law. With the exccpiitu of Kichland county, there lias not been a Negro on a petty jury of any court of the state aiuiiti liie past Zo years; not excepting Kichland county, there has nor been a N\gio.on a Grand Jury hi * tins generation. Was this oroughi about in accordance witt. the law or in violation of it? It it be said that the law was not clearly defined and it was not delui.ite.y understood that the barring j of .Nigtoes from jury service was j .11 vm.aUon of the latv'what can i-in1 is;.ill iir siii,-h a practise since j .ne C .
