Jim CROW CAR.
A coLoRED EDITOR NOW SEES A
REAL NECESSITY FOR THE
SEPARATE COACH LAW AND
SPEAKS OUT PLAINLY
ON THE SUBJECT.


w. T.. Young, a colored man who
publishes the True Reformer. at Lit
Teton. in the interest of the colored
race. had the following leading edi-
torial in mis- paper dated November
9TH:
On the, 3Oth and 31st of October. dur
Ing the Weldon Fair, was the first time
we ever witnessed a real necessity for
n Jim Grow car. We feel 1t QUIZ duty
to speak out in condemnation of such
conduct and actions as were carried
on by certain class of colored passen-
gers on the train going to and from
the fair. Were we to remain silent on
this subject we would feel that our eff
forts in publishing newspaper are not
Tor the best interests of the colored
race. 1t is always our pleasure to give
the bright side of all questions per-
tanning TO our people, especially when
.here are ten to one who give nothing
put the dark side of the life of the race
daily, but when it becomes necessary
we VIII fearlesSly show up the evil and
dark side with our dsapproyal. When
ever men and women have so little re-
sPect Tor themselves and all decent
people around them that they will in
uuise IN deafening squalls and whoops
Walk all through the coaches falling
upon others with bottles of whiskey,
pouring 1t down their throats right in
the presence of ladies and other re-
spectacle people. they have fallen far
pelow the pail of decency. This was
not all, we saw both old and young
men who could neither sit down or
stand up. staggering through the cars
puiliug tobacco smoke in the face of
ladies and gentlemen, and seem to re-
gard everybody around them as beasts
except themselves. We think freight
car too good for such people to ride in
we honestly believe there never would
nave been such n thing as n law scpa-
rating the two races on the cars had
IL not been for this class of people.
You may say what you will about
solving the race problem and the kind
OF obstacles that are doing the most
TO retard the progress of the colored
people. it is still our candid opinion
that liquor and the drink habit is tho
neSro's worst enemy. 1t is hard in
deed that decent and good citizens
have to suffer for the deeds of these
devilish sinners.

This is over 5000 majority more than

Ii is noticeable that on all four of the

The most noticeable fact brought out
by the vote Is the weakness of the Pop

There was an unusual amount of
