COLOR DISCRIMINATION At
ITS HEIGHT IN THE SOUTH
Nsslksrn papsr Calls Attention to In
justice on Public cenvsyaness.

Under the caption Breaking the
Jimcrow Law" the New York Times
says editorially:
There has been a good deal of com
plant in Tennessee lately about the
way In which the jimcrow car rule
is evaded. Persons who have found
themselves affronted and inconven.
fenced by the intrusion Of members
of the other race have written letters
to the newspapers about it and e1-
pressed their discomfort In other ways.
Despite the law which ordains that
members of the white race shall ride
the colOred race in the other, there are
bumptious and aggressive persons who
insist on invading the territory set
apart for the race to which they do
not belong Naturally the feeling
aroused Is one of just irritation. and
there Is demand that the rule be en-
forced
The curious thing about 1t Is that
it is the white race against which the
complaint is leveled. Negroes resent
the Intrusion of inconsiderate white
men into the space reserved for them,
and demand that the intruders be
fcrced to stay where they belong. The
Chattanooga Times justly and severe
ly remarks that these white men seem
to hold the doctrine. enormously as
cribed to Chief Justice Tancr. that the
back man has nc rights the white man
is bound to respect. Certainly one OF
the black mans rights is the right
to keep the whites out of his section
of q Jimcrow car. and Tennessee is
siugularly lax in according this right
to him. In many parts of Virginia. for
Instance. all negro has to do IL he
finds a white man sitting in the "col'
ored section" is TO step up and order
him to surrender his seat, and the
white man either stands up or Is put
out. It makes no difference that there
are no seats In the white section,
and that he will have to stand; he
stands. We hope that little five foot
Irish conductor Is sill working on the
Falls Church trolley who once, wheu
two six-foot white men insisted on sit
ting in the 'colored section" tackled
them single handed with both fists and
threw them out on the road in wood
four miles from the nearest village
and made them tramp home with
bruised noses at midnight. He was
little and scrawny and would never
have been accepted for military serv
icr. but resisting his edicts did moi
come under the head Of 'amusements.'
Chattanooga should send to Fairfax
county. Va. or to Newport News and
import few OF these impartial and
indOmitable conductors. The protest
Of the Tennessee negroes is just. They
have some rights that the white man
is bound TO respect. and one Of them
is the right to choose their company
and We would add among all races and
individuals with whom they may con
serve their best interest In every IT.

results which were not changed from

The race between Mcdowell and

result, it has been impossible to get
returns from all of the 20 counties in

SUMRALL SCHOOL
SCRAP IS SETTLED

Once more the dove of peace, not
only futters, but is roosting out in
Sumrall, where for the past several
weeks, differences between the mayor
and board of aldermen of the Mill
City and the board of trustees of the
City Schools, have stirred up the en-
tire community.
The differences have been settled.
When the schools open the middle of
the coming month, teachers acceptable
TO both factions will be in charge; the
Ratchet, handle and all, has been
buried deep, and the feelings engen-
dered during the discussions are now
nearly forgotten memories.
The peace treaty was prepared and
signed at an informal meeting of the
mayor and aldermen, and the trustees,
along with w. J. Haynen, general man
ager of the J. J. Newman Lumber
Company, held at the Hotel Hatties-
burg last night. Both factions were
by their attorneys. Mr..
Haynen had taken an interest in the
fight because of his interest in the
town of Sumrall, where one of the big
Newman mills is located.
Sullivan and Conner, and Cook and
C+o,onc IIo+t;ocb,,ro Jour frnc ronra-
scented the contesting parties. A COM
promise was effected, pleasing to both
factions. 1t is understood that some
of the teachers, recently dismissed,
will be re-instated.
Mr. Haynen this afternoon declined
to discuss his part in Strengthening out
the affairs of the officials and the
trustees. The attorneys, neither,
would talk.
The trouble started when the town
council wrote the various teachers Of
the school asking certain questions,
which, if answered, would throw Cd
ium on the trustees and superintend-
ent of the school, it is said. These
questions and answers were intended
to be kept a secret, but in some way
both fell into the hands of the trus-
tees. Certain charges we're made
against Supt. Williams in the replies
to those letters following which GER
tain teachers were suspended but Civ
en- permission to appear before the
board of trustees to show cause why
they should not be retained another
year. They failed to show up on the
day named, but let it be known that
they intended to sue the town of
Sumrall for their salaries for the next
session on the ground that they were
duly elected and were discharged with
out cause. The mayor and board of
aldermen sustained the teachers in
this position and demaned the resig-
nation of the entire board
