the negress to get up from the seat In front of the white lady, and on her re- fusal to do so, he went out on the front end and came back with the motorman's S long, iron switch -bar, and as he drew it back to strike the negress over the head negro nan seized it and thus prevented him frcn striking. He showed no inclination to fight, but simply to protect one of his female members from violence, which, l suppose, he felt to be his duty. And so, not being able to wrest the bar from the negro he let it go and went out on the front end of the car, coming to stop, he got off and the car remained standing until he returned, ac- companied by policeman. At this point the rear door was opened and as the negro man was taken into custody by the policeman. some of the white men pas sengers who had come around to the rear end of the car began stabbing the negro while he was being held by the officer and he died right there at the car steps.
 No one was arrested for this murder as it was not known who did it. (as far as I was able to learn.) The negress was arrested and lodged in jail as causing the trouble by taking a seat in front of this white lady: but to my mind (and I believe it is the opinion of every other fair-mind-

Now, dis regarding this regulation, white people often come in and take seat away back near the door when there are lots or vacant seats ahead and since it is not allowed that colored person go ahead of them to take seat they often have to stand while there are plenty of va cant seats if the white passengers would only move forward as seats ahead be- come empty to take the farthest seats on entering the car
 Now, the way this difficulty occurred of which I wish to relate: one morning colored woman boarded street car and as there was no place for her to be seated unless a white lady moved up to a vacant seat just ahead of her she whis- pered to her to please take the seat, and on her refusal to do so the colored wo- man, feeling the brunt of the injustice, stepped forward and took the seat in front of the white lady At this point a white man passenger nearby ordered

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Races on Street Cars

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 I was very much interested in reading the article in your paper of the 16th inst, Qast Monday, entitled: "selfishness Shown by Trolley Car Patrons; and l would like to be granted space to add 8 few thoughts, or more particularly to re- late an incident, which is the inevitable climax of selfishness of white patrons.
 Before left Memphis, Tenn. last year to come here to work for the government at Muscle Shoals, a tragedy occurred on one of the street cars on this wise: At the front of each car Is placard which reads: White People Seat From the Front

ed white person., this white lady was the main source of the trouble in not obey ing the rules of the street car company even when requested by this negress. In asking her to move forward the ne- gross showed that she did not wish to violate the regulations as to color re- strictions.
 Now, 1 am a southern man and in gem eral I don't suppose I am different from "southerners," but I do believe in com mon justice for any and all raees-Sthe negro included There is nothing gained in the long run by violating the Gold en Rule. We have lamented the short age of negro labor in the south on ac- count of the exodus to tho north. Now, it is in our power to change this-not only to stop the exodus, but to cause the return of thousands-by simply giving up some of the notions we have concerning the negro's rights as an inferior race
