ALMOST A SERIOUS ACCIDENT

Friday morning, about nine o'clock
while Seth Whitman who brings milk
and cream to this city from the town
of Rudolph in his automobile met
with an accident when opposite the
Young farm now the property of Fl. G.
Wipperman. He was driving back of
Mrs Frank Hamm who was driving {
single horse attached to a top buggy
going in the same direction. When
in close proximity to her he gave the
alarm and tried to put on the emer
gency brake but for some reason it
would not work and he overlook the
horse and buggy and ran into them.
When they came in contact the horse
was frightened, broke loose from the
buggy and pulling Mrs, Frank Hamm
out of the buggy, Fortunately she
landed on the ground with no injuri-
es, but being badly shaken up. The
buggy wheels were crowded off from
the rear of the buggy and it was 9th
erwise damaged. The outcome was
very fortunate.

SEGREGATION.

The motives which inspire the
white people of the country to seq
regate the Afro-American population
in every possible way, from residence
districts, theatres, schools and even
churches, all have their origin in an
intense and unreasoning race-preju-
dice, more intense than exists in any
other part of the world. That pref
udice has virtually eliminated al
most every vestige of true religious
sentiment from the American mind
and sophisticated it's reasoning power
to marvellous degree. Hence those
motives, one and all are earthly, SEN
sual and devilish. But it by no
means follows that the effects of the
idiotic rage of the white brethren
are, or will be such as they antici-
pate, so far as the AfrO-AmericanS
are concerned. In fact, in our opin-
ion, it can be clearly shown that in
many instances the results have been
of great benefit to the oppressed
race.
In this, as in many other instances
mentioned in history, the result
of great struggle has been just the
exact opposite of what the origina-
