pie to appoint young cOlOred men
and women. This is an impudent
request when we come to consider
the great number of colOred peo-
pie In this city who need not ask
the white people any favOrs. We
are kicking and We don't know
what We are kicking about. The
argument advanced is that the
cOlOred people must not patrOnize
those white establishments that
discriminate against our people.
This is right and for that reason
we should patrOnize similar places
kept by our own people.
The next reason is that, unless
the white people appoint some of
our cOlored boys and girls we urge
our people not to patronize them.
The white peoples don't care and
DO doubt wO Id be pleased to get
rid Of them.
Some few months ago few
enterprising yOurg men, started
ten cent store, which was an evil
dence of progress. They started
something whlc our mOneyed col
Ored men would not touch nor
would they encourage the enter
prise. These young men demon
stated their race pride by appoint,
ing young colored ladies, WHO can
not obtain employment in estab-
lishments conducted by white peO-
pie.
The question is what encourage
ment have these young men had? ?
three fourth of their patrons have
been white people, just think of it.
A population of of 10000 colored
peOpls and their refusal to sup
port stores of their own. Such has
been the encouragement that they
have received frOm the colOred
people that they have been COM
PEELED to discharge their cOlOred
clerks and appoint all young white
ladies. 1t Is a shame on our
bOasted city. No, | hope the white
people will never appoint Negro
boy or girl so long as the cOlOred
people remain so inactive. The
fault is in ourselves that we are
placed in this humilating position.

for them to go to wOrk, and sup
port each other.
