VERDICT FOR AFRo-AMER!cAN.

VERDICT FOR AFRo-AMER!cAN.
Mrs. Agnes Carver Brent, an Afro
American woman, has been, awarded
a verdict for $3.50 damages against the
Great Falls & Old Dominion Railway
Company for alleged false arrest, by
a jury in the Circuit Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia
The plaintiff was passenger in
August, 1906, on a car from George
town to Livingston Heights, in Vir-
ginia; she was seated in the third seat
from the rear of the car, and when
Virginia was reached the conductor,
acting under the Jim crow car law Of
Virginia, directed her to move to the
second seat from the rear. When
she declined he caused another en-
ploe Of the road, known as a special
officer for Fairfax county, but not for
Alexandria county, to place her under
arrest. She was taken to Great Fails,
it was testified, then to Rosslyn, and
to the Alexandria county Jail, from
which place she was released about
midnight.
1t was great outrage and Mrs.
Brent ought to have gotten the $780,
0GO she sued for. It is, however. re-
markable that she was awarded $3.50,
as the usual award in jim crow cases
in the District is one cent and costs.

CAUCASIAN DEPRAVITY,

NAOSASiAN OEFHAvIIY.
On the topic of depravity of the
Afro-American population, much has
been said by the Caucasian press
That depravity has been made the ex-
cuse for lynchings and all other out
RACES perpetrated upon the pro-
scribed race.
All these have been exploited as
means to preserve the purity of the
white race. Yet it may fairly be
doubted whether or not the purity of
the white race is, in all instances, so
immaculate as to justify such extreme
measures. ..." ....=-
For instance, the Chicago Record
Herald gives the following account of
how New Years was celebrated in the
heightened cafes Of the city.

Colonel Joe Wooddell of the Penns-

Democratic brethren who wrote the
resolutions for the convention held
in this county. Hear him:
1--WE have noticed that some of the
candidates for the legislature assert
that the present game law Is oppres-
sive to the farmer. and promise to
amend 10 If elected. We are from
Missouri and have to be shown We
think it is one Of the best laws that
our Republican friends ever gave us.
It is the only one that really does
protect the farmer without a cent of
pay He can hunt all that he wishes
TO on his own adjoining neighbours
land, by reciprocity, and It costs him
nothing. At the same time the law
protects his land, by keeping out all
persons who have no license or
permit from him. Where is the CD
preston to the farmer? Rats!"
