SEGREGATION.

One of the most perplexing things in
munfcipal government is segregation,
which stands for compelling lewd houses
to vacate and prevents negro residents
from owning or renting houses in white
residential sections
In today's paper we see that an At
lanta judge Of city court has imposed
a fine OF 81 900 on a woman who claims
TO keen a boarding house. but who was
indicted by the grand jury and con-
victed by a city court jury Of keeping
a house of ill-fame. The judge in pro-
nouncinE his verdict, said she had been
requested to leave the popular street
and secure a boarding house elsewhere,
etc. but she refused to do so. Various
persons came into court and testified
against her and dweIt particularly on
the fact that auto. were seen standing
in front ut unseemly hours OF the
night. and. the people who went In ana
out were considered as very immoral
The proof must have convinced the jury
and the judge imposed heavy fine
Segregation OF negro families is not
only agitated in the southern states. but
also in the north. The price OF resi-
Dental property is greatly affected by
the people who live in such localities

framed that only white persons can pur-

would pat me lightly on the shoulder
