Drawing tho Color Line.

The Commonwealth has said
over and over again that the ne
grves themselves take initiative
in drawing the color line. Every
election year shows it 80 conclu-
sively that any one with the
slightest observation can see 1t.
The following taken from Hon.
G. B. Aycock's words in Green
vile illustrates it most forcibly.
81 was recently going from one
to wn to another and a young ne
gro man was driving for me. |
asked if he could tell me why he
voted t he Republican ticket?
cause dats my COLOR" was his
reply. Then l asked him what
he thought a white man ought
to do? The negro stammered
that seems to me, sab, be ortel
vote de democratic ticket, cause
dats his color There you have
J the situation exactly. No ont
draws the color line so closely al
the negro himself. Let a negro
vote the democratic ticket ant
his race cuts his acquaintanc'
and has nothing to do with him
The negroes are going to stan'
together and vote the same way
Can white men afford to do less
