THE QUESTION OF SEGREGATION

Editor John Q. Adams endorses tho
action Of Editor William Monroe
Trotter Of Boston i'll opposing tho
erection Of Y. M. G. a. for the col.
ored people. IT is termed n jim Grow
y NJ. G. A. Logically and under tho
sunlight OF divine Justice, both Mr..
Adams and Mr.. Trotter are right.
There is not the shadow of an excuse
for a separate building i'll Il locality
like Boston, Mass. where all citizens
are presumed TO enjoy and are ac
corded their civil and political rights
The same might apply to the church
cS.
Both gentlemen, though have over
looked tho fact that these conditions
have boon brought about by the mi.
grafton North OF the jim Crow Ne.
gro. These. peoples leading asset Is
commenting upon "niggers" and
Negroes, Jus .n,,,,o many Of the Negro
hating white folks. They engage in
practices that they acquired in tho
alleys of the cities and in other re
sorts that have been disgrace to
this sunny cline. These white folks
made them what they are and then
proceeded to abuse them for what
they made them.
Many colored people Of refine
ment and who showed by their good
breeding that they came from among
! the best people in the land were swal
lowed up so to speak by this army Of
people, who have done and are do
, ing so much to lower the standing Of
i, our people in the estimation of tho
white people. Then came too that
class Of educated coloref men, who
had been trained III southern schools
and who see in this kind OF
work an; opportunity to Sc
cure profitable positions and
to handle many hundreds Of thous.
ands of dollars contributed by char,.
tahly inclined white folks.
This gave them a double reason
for the establishment OF a "Jim Crow
NJ. G. A. Our position has been to
accept these kind OF ARRANGEMENTS
only because we are obliged to nc
ccpt separate cars,--under protest.
When the pressure is lifted, like a
spring. we hope to come back to Gus
normal position. The three great
leaders now standing forth i'm this
attitude and maintaining this posi-
ton are William Monroe Trotter of
Boston, John @. Adams of St. Paul,
Mlnn.. and Hon. II. c.. Smith, OF
Cleveland, Ohio. We cannot say othc,
wise that under the American flag
with the full glare of American citi
Zenship shining in their faces, they
occupy high ground and 1t will DO
tie future and not the present that
VIII justify them and accord to them
TIC full recognition that they de.
serve.

Mrs. Sarah Bagley Wins
With Name of
'Thronateeska'

At Cobb yesterday afternoon about
sixty residents of the community
assembled to celebrate the opening
of the new municipal playground
park, recently presented to the town
by Messrs. Hill and Thomas, of that
place. J. H. Statham, who acted as
master of ceremonies, acting for the
others interested in the movement
had previously invited a number of
Americas people to attend the gath
ering, and these came out in cars,
arriving about o'clock.
Mrs. DIN Williams, county home
economics agent, had offered a prize
of $500 to the person suggesting the
most suitable name for tn play
ground-park, and this Was awarded
Mrs. Sarah W. Bagley. "Throna-
teeska," the Greek Indian name for
Flint river, was suggested by Mrs,
Bagley, and a committee composed
of George o. Marshall, Gordon How
ell, R. C. Moran and Mrs. E. G.
Bond, selected this as the most ap-
propriate among the hundred or more
titles considered. The decision of the
committee, being announced, met
the unanimous approval of the as
sembled community, and henceforth
the playground at Cobb will be called
Thronateeska Park.
A short but interesting program
had been arranged for the celebra
ton, and was carried out with en-
thusiasm. Gordon Howell, who led
