And there is another South Carolina
negro who attained a national reputa-
ton. Alonzo ]. Ransier He was born In
Charleston in 1894. He was self-educate1
and was employed as a shipping clerk III
1879 by leading merchant. His employer
was tried for violating the law in hiring
a colored clerk. and was fined cent, with
costs. Ransier was a member of the
constitutional convention, and afterward
became chairman OF the Republican State
central committee. He was also Pres
idential elector on the Grant and Colfax
ticket, and was elected 10 the Forty-third
Congress. He was an apt representative
of the changed conditions in Charleston.
and can hardly be said 10 have compared
favOrably with the ehivalric Representa-
tives from that city before the war.
a Representative who will never be for
gotten was the well-known Jere HARRISON,
Of Alabama. He was as black as coal, a
genuine plantation negro, the forerunner
OF rag-time and the Mobile buck Jere
was born in Muscogee County, Georgia.
After the death of his master he was sold
on the auction block in Columbus. TIE
negro became the property of J. HARRISON,
of Selma, and remained there until Presi-
dent LinCCln's emancipation prOclama-
ton. He acquired some education after
ward, became a member Of the State legis-
lature in 1870. and was elected to the
Forty-fourth Congress. He claimed a re-
