Franklin's paper the statesman., 1910-05-28
BY N. BARNETT DODsON.

BY N. BARNETT DODSON.
History records no greater achieve
ments than those which have grown
out Of individual effort. The triumphs
of war, the successful reign of peace,
great reformations and commercial
expansions have all resulted from in
dividual effort. The abolition of hui
man slavery in the United States is
due to individual effort. No great
achievement, either in nation, church
or state, has come about of itself.
, Among the many great men of the
Negro race through whose individual
efforts the race has been helped for
ward is j. K. Clifford, the venerable
editor Of the Martinsburg (W. vaJ
Pioneer Press. Mr.. Clifford, who is
now more than sixty years Of age, was
the first man of our race to be admit
ted to the practice of law In the state
Of West Virginia
He has owned and edited the Pio-
neer Press for more than twenty-eight
years. 1t is perhaps the oldest Negro
newspaper in the United States. Both
In law and in politics Mr. Clifford is
hard contestant to defeat. His knowl-
edge Of the law and his experience as
a politician have more than once been
brought to bear with telling effect in
behalf of our people.
1t was through Mr.. Clifford's eff.
forts that General w. II. II. Flick was
defeated for congress in 1886. Gen
eral Flick ran against William L. Will
son. Mr.. Cliffords antagonism TO
Flick was due, 1t is said, to the fact
that he was the cause of Clifford not
being elected as delegate to the ma
tional Republican convention which
nominated James G. Blaine.
The credit of impaneling the first
Negro jury in West Virginia belongs
to Mr.. Clifford. 1t was in 1897. For
this brave act he was knocked down
three times in court of justice. The
blood from wounds caused by the sue
cessive falls filled his shoes, and he
was removed from the courtroom amid
great confusion
In the campaign of 1898 he can.
vassed Berkeley county against U. S.
Pitzer, who was defeated by 1900
votes. All through the campaign he
carried a piece Of his bloody shirt as
a souvenir of his late court tragedy.
The day before the election in Novem-
Der, 1898, he spoke to thousands Of
voters in the public square at Mar
t!nsburg with the bloody shirt in hand.
On Jan. "a Of this year he was ar
rested and put in Jail for defending a
client In court. During the hour and
:wenty-nine minutes of his Jail SEN
tenc0 his client was tried and sent to
jail. AS soon as Mr.. Clifford was re-
leased from Jail he secured the release
Of his client.
He then preferred charges against
