Tin one danger in such a law wouli be th difficulty of colored aut< owners in obtaining such insur ance. Many companies writing - * this?kind, of?insurance refuse te- cover cars of Negroes. Any law therefore enacted should provide against discrimination of this kind, otherwise colored owners oJ automobiles would practically b< prohibited from using their cars. Such companies refusing insurance to colored owners base their refusal on the known unfairness of juries considering cases of injury, of automobiles wherein Negrocare involved. Of himself the Negro 1s-nnt~a bad risk. -We do not know hut that he is a better risk than his white brother, but regardless of facts, junes, say such companies, always return verdicts - agarnst them and hence, the companies lose. Of course, men who allow prejudice instead of fairness to determine such thisgs have not the ability to see that such a course penalizes themselves, They do not know that the premiums they themselves_ have to pay is decided by the amount of money a c%mpany has To pajT oTTt"by~WTr5 of damages.

In \ the name ofj high heaven why j '. will our folks~faIT for such. It ! seems to me that our intelligent! pastors would take time, at some iicur when there was no funeral I booked within 10 miles of the j place and give the congregation a; ~ sound and sober talk on the sub?i j ject. i ?? i Now ye are not butting into . other folks business, but believe .. it or not, we read the saying of L all the writers for the "Leader" j . and nofe carefully what each has ? to say. Now we thing if there is j . any one thing that our leaders i should teach, by precept and ex. ample that one thing is econol my. Regardless as to what you , are doing for the folks at no time , can we spend or cause to be spent unnecessary money. We read where it was reported that 150' . people from all over that state gathered in Columbia one day to , map out a program for the state . convention. Now any time that T 150 people from all over the state' go- to Columbia, some expense' money is put out. If the averU (TO />nct W'UC C1 Ihl tUnxo L#\t?/v v vvuv n mo yx?w iitcic J vu iii)> c $150.0Q; if the average was $2.00 . there you have $300.00 spent. To get a job done that could have i l/een as.well done for $50.00 or less. Why under the sun, should . it take 150 people to. get out any kind of a program for any kind t of a religious body. Don't tell mo.. I know that great church with its membership out doing the number that "John saw" with two real colleges within its boundary sending out trained workers by ike score, could have placed conmfidence with in 7 ^or 0 well in-1 formed persons and they have plenty of them, and let them be, a committee to draft up a pro'gram for the approval and as a guide for the ' ronvention. We, feel sure 140 of that 150 coulu nave stayed home and the cause nor the convention would have suf. J^red one bit. But why woijry \ colored folks will be colored folks.

As a whole we feel that' Greer. ville has n?w as nice a high school i building as you will find in most ^ any other city for colored?iudging from appearances?it seems that those in authority lost- sight of the color business and remern- j bered only that they were build-' ing an edifice for modern educa- ! ft nnol TMirr*AervA ' \XT I * l?
