On motion of Mr.. Bowman, House bill
No. 7 was again taken up and discussed.
After some debate the bill passed its
several readings-tWo dissenting voices,
namely S,ceat, negro. and Norris, negro.
Leary. Hays and Price, and some other
darkies would not vote at ali.
Sweat, negro, from Cumberland, op-
posed the resolutions of the gentleman
from Mitchell. Gentlemen would have to
come down to facts as they were. The
they were about when they opposed, in the
last campaign, the ratification Of the Con-
stitution by the people. They knew that
separate schools could not be had, under
the present Constitution, and he would de-
fly any gentleman on the floor of the House
to say so. Gentlemen, who had colored
constituencies, dare not go back to them
and acknowledge that they voted for sep
arate schools. Gentlemen might as we'll in
sist on separate apartments in the Capitol
to legislate in, as demand separate schools
for their children under the Constitution.
Conservatives were right-they could have
no separate schools, though for himself he
was in favor of them.
Harris, negro. of Wake, would like to
know to what race the negro from Cum
berland belonged. He and his friend from
Craven, did not appear to him Harris to
belong to any in particular, and they were
as undecided in regard to their politics.
He went among the hites of the State and
pledged himself to give both races separ-
ate schools. He understood better than
the "gentleman from Cumberland, or
the ''gentleman" from Craven either, what
the Constitution meant. For himself, he
would say that he was in favor of a COM
plete separtion of the races-colored
Churches, colored schools and colored
teachers.
Mr.. Bowman said that he was astonished
to hear such sentiments fall from the lips
of the "gentleman from Cumberland
With the gentleman" from Wake, he was
at loss where 70 class him whether with
the whites or colored, and at greater loss
where to class him politically. He evident
ly was keeping company with Conservatives
where he must have imbibed Conservative
heresies He was sent to this body by
white men, who expected him to secure
equal political and civil equality to the ne
gro race. The term negro, having very re-
Gently become offensive, he would change
it, and call them colored. His constitu
ents expected of him to secure them separ
ate schools and a separate militia.
