ANOTHER THEORY "BusTED."

I
ANOTHER THEORY "BUsTEn."
r. The theorists lsnao their name I,
legion, who would solve the problem
OF the races by segregating the Ne
groes, must have experienced a SHOCK
when they heard THAT another effort
will be made In the Alabama legis,
lature to abolish the autonomy OF
Hobson. City. town Of about nine
hundred souls established by and for
Negroes. -
The history of the fight by the
little towns says, the Philadelphia
North American, which was named
for. the hero of the Merrimac, is as
interesting as 1t is unique. Hobson
City is just outside of Admission. 1t
was founded by Negro with view
Of making 1t an exclusively Negro
city. The experiment proved a sue
cess, so far as growth and prosper
ity were eoneerHed. and the little
village soon grew into q town Of
some pretentiOns, with business
houses, all operated by Negroes, to-
gether with an Independent govern
ment. The population increased
steadily until it reached about 900.
Students of sociological conditions
watched with interest the efforts at
self government to take away it's
autonomy through opposition on
part of the whites in that community
not because of any disorder, but ap-
parently from a. more or less race
feeling.
At the last session of the legisla-
ture measure was passed which
destroyed the individuality of the
town, annexing IT. to. Oxford by the
extention of the city limits Of the lat
ter place. The Negroes resisted the
destruction of their own rights and
employed able lawyers to fight the
measure, and the law annexing the
town OF Oxford was declared by the
Supreme Court. to- be unconstitutional
On account of fay in the title of
the &cr 49, ~ ~
Immediately after the law was de-
feated the people Of Hobson City
held an election for the various mu-
nicipal Offices and the town resumed
it's autonomy.
There are. great many people in
this state who have noted the prog
ress Of the Negro town and would be
glad to see its political independence
but at the coming session
OF the Legislature, which will assem-
BILE on July 9th the fight will be re-
newed and a bill looking to the abo-
lition Of HObson City's independence
will be introduced and pushed. The
leading citizens Of the town are pre-
pairing to resist this movement, but
there is reason to believe that the bill
will be passed again. Whether it
will stand the test of the courts on
constitutional grounds remains to be
seen.
In view Of the cOmmendable be-
havior OF the people Of the Negro
town and Of their progress in bust
ness way, the only apparent reason
for this fight against it's political in
dependence is based upon race pref
udice, but the citizens Of Hobson City
are determined to see 1t through to
a finish.

steam engine.
Mr.. McMullen spoke of the advantage
