"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
