one danger in such a law wouli
be th difficulty of colored aut<
owners in obtaining such insur

- * 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

know hut that he is a better risk
than his white brother, but regardless
of facts, junes, say such
companies, always return verdicts

lose. Of course, men who
allow prejudice instead of fairness
to determine such thisgs have

CONGRESSMAN MITCHELL'S

the only colored man .n America
who has a voice in the making of
national lhus> has introduced two
bills which certainly ought become

One is an anti-lynching bill, the
other, a b<h to abolish the rise o)
photographs hi connection with

would seem that by this time
there ought be God enough in
America to put an end to the burr

We attended a funeral, one day
i last week and to our disgust in |
j came all the male kin folka with
i heads covered^ with hats and caps
J and to cap the whole business most
of the hats looked greasy enough t
! to have made lye soap out of. 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.
But Uespitc "that "it pays to save".'

Well on our way to town early \'
Monday morning a friend drove up
J picked us up and brought us in.,
? As he was headed for "Sterling" j
| we decided to go on over and cov'
er the annex which was put on.
[ We got there all O. K.?pretty
muddy though were, the streets
leading up to the school. Wei
, went n, found the Brineipal, Prof.
ILickson in his office, smiling he
grasped our hand and invited us
to come and look over what had
been done. The annex gives
"Sterling" a very large and mod-1
ern building with some 14 or more:
] classrooms; an auditorium that i
has seats down to rest over 600;
. well lighted and ventilated and
nice rest rooms for boys on one
L floor and for girls on the other;
a spacious office well fittd out for
j the principal; a lon? wide hallway
from end to end of the building.
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? '
m ????! ^ui^uoca. If nil LilU spttC- I
j iqus trade building only a few i
I feet away and the main building 1
with its improvements, "Sterling"!
is now looking up. and will soon
1 have a plant second to none which
' will be in keeping with the prom- J
ise of the City S^jpen ntendent, |
Dr. Mann, male to the writer some!
' years ago, when we as chairman
" of the citizen committee transfer- i
red the property to the city for j
J hig-h school use. Its take time,'
did plant as it stands today. May
J the superintendent and those that
' work with him live on to do
^ greater things for humanity.
