Jim Grow Cars Boycotted

Ever since the "Iim Grow" car law
went into effect, the colored travel
on railroads and steamer lines mas
been very light, the railroads, especial
ly, being boycotted by the colored
people. Train after train make their
trip with car for colored people in
cluded in the equipment and not a
passenger or more than one or two in
them. 1t is said to be due to concert
ed action upon the part of the colored
people and that meetings have been
held in various towns in this section
of the state, the law condemned and
resolutions adopted. declaring that
they (the colored people) will not
travel unless absolutely necessary so
long as the law remains in force.
Whether the report of concerted action
is true or not--and it is reported from
numerous sources-there have been
very few colored passengers carried.
The light travel by colored people
works hardship on the railroads, as
they haul car after car on their trains
that are empty.
