jim CROW LAW BILL.
1t Will be Presented To-day-A Meet
ing This Morning.


A delegation of negroes, among them
Dr. Smith, called on Hon John E. Epps.
at his Office in the City Hall last night,
for the purpose Of bringing to bear upon
him the importance of having ALLEGED
harsh restrictions stricken out Of his
street car bill.
The delegation will go before the Com
mttee Roads, which meets on the
ground floor of the Capitol building this
morning.
Mr.. Epps' bill provides that "any of the
railroads of this State, either in part or
whole, either in their own name or that
of others, are hereby required to furnish
separate coaches or cars, for the travel
or transportation of the white and cocred
passengers on their respective lires of
railroad. Each impairment of coach
divided by a good and substantial parti-
ton, with 4 door therein, shall oe deemed
a separate coach. within The n1ea i,g of
this act, and each separate coach and
compartment shall bear i'll some consl! c-
uous place appropriate words i'll ] lain
letters indicating the race for which it
is set apart
Giles &. Jackson, the well-known col
ored lawyer. was seen last night and
asked what he thought about the bill.
He said. in part:
Il don -thini; the bill ought TO become
law for several reasons
First. it puts the railroads to addi-
tiona! expense and makes IL very jpcon-
Tenient in the citieS that have street cars.
For instance, gentleman Is in q hurry
and wants to take a car. to make a, given
point at 4 certain time. The first car
coming along might be a Jim Crow
coach He would necessarily have TO
wait for another car for white people. lie
might thereby miss his engagement or
miss a train. which he might have caught
if he had been allowed TO ride on the
first car coming along. which happened
to be the Jim Crow car. And after being
put to these inconvenience he goes home
and finds himself surrounded by his col
ored servants among them his old col
ored mamma nursing his children and
doing the necessary domestic work around
his home. and yet he~has just missed an
important engagement because lie was
not allowed to ride on u car that has
heretofore been used for both white and
colored. These are simply few of the
Inconvenience from which the white peo-
pe will have to suffer if the bill is passed.
Other reasons are that the coored people
are generally submissive and are easily
stance, one white man can guard and con-
troll one hundred colored convicts, while
it would take twenty-five colored men to
control that many whites: and. as a gen
erai thing. colored people are not insulting
to white people, anyway, for my expert
ence as i. criminal lawyer has taught me
that out of every two hundred coiored
men convicted for assault a hundred and
nnety-nine Of them are for assaults upon
pie as the records OF the Hastings Court
and Police Court will bear me out. And
now. why be scared of a negro this late
day.
