llage. N was on a cold November
day while sitting by the fire in the
rear OF store that overheard
conversation between the two
clerks who had leisure by reason
OF the rainy weather. While the
two clerks were gossiping, Negro
passed the store front. One OF The
clerks expressed how he disliked
the eaid Negro and wanted nothing
10 do with him otherwise he might
crack his head He held that the
Negro was contemplate etc. lie
further said that II he met the Ne
gro on the street the Negro would
have 10 step aside aud let him pass
otherwise he would pounce upon
him.
The other clerk Mr.. McSwain
spoke up in defense OF the Negro
and said he saw no reason why a
Negro should give white man all
the street. On the other hand he
said that all he wanted OF the Ne
gro was half OF the street for the
other half belonged 10 the Negro.
The clerks argued heatedly with
the first clerk saying that he liked
good niggers' but hated the bad
ones.
Finally Mr.. McSwain spoke up
and said. Il don't want you 10 mis-
understand me. Tom. | don't care
as much for niggers as care for
dogs. but | will treat them right.
That conversation has followed me
down through the years and the
ripper my experience the more | am
convinced that those two clerks
represent two schools OF thought as
they obtain among the whites OF
the world One school for senti-
mental reasons will select certain
Negroes to treat right while utter
" hostile TO all the others Another
school tries 10 ne just and fair in a
mechanical way.
These two schools are represent
ed in Germany and England today
In Germany the Negro is outlawed

man: in England ever so much Is
said about equality" etc, but the
treatment OF the Negro is far from
ideal.
l am convinced that the center
OF this racialism that proscribes
the Negro Is in England. History
shows that England is the only one
OF the colonizing nations that re-
ligiously forbids its colonists from
intermarrying with the natives.

between colonists and natives and
breeds hatreds that spread through
