What Segregation Means
Rev Quincy Ewing Southern Caucasian Born and Reared in
Mississippi Shows the Policy of the South is to Keep
the Afro American in Inferior Status

Why is it that in every Southern
city no Negro is allowed to witness
dramatic performance, or a baseball
game, from a frst-class seat? In
every large city, there are hundreds of
Negroes who would gladly pay for
first-class seats at the theatre and the
baseball game, were they permitted to.
It can hardly be that permission is
withheld because theatres and base
ball games are 80 well attended by
half the population that tirst-class
seats could not be furnished for the
other half. AS matter of fact, thea
tre-auditoriums and baseball grand
stands are seldom crowded.; the rule
is, not all first.class seats occupied,
but many vacant Surely as simple as
moving from seat to seat a makeshift
screen in a street-car, would it be to
set apart certain number of seats
in the dress.circle of every theatre.
and in the grandstand Of every base.
ball park, for Negro patrons. The rea-
son why this is not done, is perfectly
obvious; it would be intolerable to the
sit through the hours of a theatrical
performance or a baseball game on
terms of equal accommodation with
Negroes, even with a screen between
Negroes would look out of place, out
Of status, in the dress circle or the
grandstand; their place, signifying
their status, is the peanut-gallery, or
the bleachers.
Consider further that, while no Ne
gro, no matter what his occupation, or
personal refinement, or intellectual
culture, or moral character, is allowed
to trave in pullman car. between
state lines, or to enter as guest no.
tel patronized by white people, the
blacklist of Negro nurses and Wallets
are given food and shelter in all first
class hotels, and occasion neither dis
gust nor surprise in the Pullman cars.
Here again the heart of the race prob
lem is laid bare. The black nurse with
a white baby in her arms, the black
valet looking after the comfort of
white invalid, have the label Of their
inferiority. conspicuously upon them;
they understand themselves, and
everybody understand them, to be SER
wants, enjoying certain privileges for
the sake Of the person served. Almost
anything the Negro may do in the
South, and anywhere he may go, pro.
vided the manner Of his doing and his
going is that Of an inferior. Such is
the premium put upon his inferiority;
such his inducement to MAINTAIN it.

A CORNER IN ANCESTORS
The Montgomery Family
BY FRANCES COwLEs.

There is nothing overmodest about the
They say that when the son of Japhet
named Conner left the scene of the Old
Testament narrative to settle Gaul he
dwelt upon = mountain in Normandy.
That mountain was naturally called Mont
GOmery in honor of its distinguished
resident. The successors of Conner who
dwelt upon Mont Conner or Mont Gomeris
were very naturally dubbed Montgomerie.
or Montgomery. A simpler explanation
could hardly be imagined, and the ad-
vantage of IL to be genealoEist is that
it connects the distinguished line of
Montgomery so easily with the biblical
line of Adam. To be sure the fact that
the name was sometimes spelled MumdC-
grumbie and some times Montgomerc
might shake the validity of this explana-
ton.
Be the derivation of the name as it
may the family OF Montgomery still has
claim to great antiquity. for in the ninth
century there was a family of the name
of Montgomerie. In Sl2 there was count
of Montgomerie named Roger. The next
century we find that there was a descen-
dant of his of the same name who ac-
companied his kinsman, William the Nor
man ConQueror to England. As re-
ward for valor. the story goes, Roger de
was created Earl of Arun-
del and Shrewsbury and had extensive
grants of land from the King. The town
Of Montgomery. in Wales, was named for
this noble. In the time Of King William
Rufus, Pembroke Castle was built by
ATnulph de Montgomerie. Walter Mont
gomerie. high steward Of the house of
Steuart, was the first Earl OF Eglington,
and it is from the Montgomery family
OF Eglington that a branch of the Ameri-
can family is descended
The founder of the American Mont
gOmery family from Eglington was Will

and came to this country about 1I02.
His father was Hugh Montgomery. Of
and there is a lineage on rec
ord that traces this Hugh Montgomery
straight back to the days of the Nor
man Roger de Montgomerie. Such pedi-
grees as this have always to be taken
with due allowance for the enthusiasm
Of the genealogists who compiled them.

FOR ARMY AT ONCE
Secretary Garrison's Request Indicates
Cavalry and Artillery Will Be
Sent to Mexico.

That the government plans to use
large bodies of artillery and cavalry
in Mexico was indicated by an amend
ment incorporated in the conference
report on the military appropriation
bill in the House yesterday. The
amendment was offered by Representa-
tive Hay, of Virginia, chairman Of the
Committee on Military Affairs. at the
request of tire Secretary Of War. IT
provides that, OF the total amount car
ried by the military bin. the sum Of
$500, 900 be made Immediately avail
able for expenditure by Secretary
Garrison. The sum is to be allotted in
this way:
For the purchase of artillery ammu-
milton, $4,000. 600: for the purchase OF
field artillery guns, S2.1OO.O00: for the
purchase of horses for the cavalry.
5000. 200.
The military bill agreed to carried
an appropriation of S10O,OOO.OO0. As
the measure originally passed the
House il authorized an expenditure of
ss2. 100000. The Senate increased the
amount to a round 100000. ZOO. The
bill already had been adopted in the
Senate. 1t now goes to the President
for approval
