NEGRO GRAND JIRORS ne
Monday last, .history was maih v"
in. Richland county?certainly in T
.T ' 'sefaif- as the lust 45 or f>0 years '
are concerned. On that day, tin
County Jury Commission placet
on the Grand Jury panel two co]_ .J
oied men. This may. liet be some
thing new under the sun, but i
certainly is new to any and al
^.'itizend 50 years or less in age & i
Such citizens just have no inein t l
ory of such a thing as Colorei *
citizens being u member of t. T
T^ti^nd Jury. This action. n? a
.... ; -doubt, w as taken to conform wit-} $
the law laiit down last year
the L^_JS. Supreme. Court in tlu
"Scottsboro cases" wherein.it wa
held that an indictment of a N"e
gro charged with a' crime by : n'Grand
Jury from which N'Cgroe x
have consistantly been barred i- 'll
not legal. The Jur? commissioi l*
should be commended lV^t, because
its action does not show tha , 11
it was simply determined to giveonly
a grudging obedience to tin
law as laid down by the Puprenu c V
Court; that decision could havt
been complied with by appoint
ing just one matt, instead tlu
commission named two, and sec- '.'J
ond, becauseo of the character ot 1
the two men placed on the Grant
Jury. The caliber of no Gran> in
Jury could sulTer with Piof. C n!|

Commenting on the news of the
year, Mr. Calvin says: "My choice
i,s based on the way the news was
regarded in the realm of its especial
interest For instance, in
international alTairs. nothing was
mere sickening to American Negroes
than to see the vacillating
policy of the League of Nations
slowly but surely spell Ethiopia's
