chas. Darden
Oldest Negro
Dies

Death, as it must to all, came
last Friday at the general hospital
to retired attorney Charles Darden,
first Negro to practice law in the
state of California.
Resident of Los Angeles since
1905, Mr.. Darden started his law
practice here a year later, and al
though he seldom practiced in re-
cent years, still held the title of
the oldest practicing attorney in
the state.
Alone in the world except for a
brother, c. L. Darden, leading NOR
tician of Wilson, N. c., Mr.. Darden
was stricken with his last illness
IN rented room he occupied over
Driver Bros. Pharmacy at 25th and
Hooper.
Friends of the elderly lawyer,
Mrs. Viola Headen, and Mrs. Mauri
Parkinson, of 400 w. 55th St., were
called and they contacted his per-
sonal physician, DR.. H. H. Towles.
who rushed him to the hospital
where he died three days later.
Exact age of the late attorney
is not known, but friends have
estimated it at IA. He was born in
Wilson and took his law degree at
Howard University. He had never
married, and it is believed that he
died almost penniless, except for a
major interest in the Lake Elsinore
corporation, developers of the
lakeside resort.

that of seeking cooperation with
the White Democrats of the State
looking forward to the day when
Negro Democrats take part in the
regular Democrat precinct, county
and state convention.
Noting the let down in interest
in the organization, local as well
as state during the past year the
President and Executive secretary
said that the organization had
passed through two stages. First
he said there was the stage when
most of the so-called big" Neg
roes of the state were afraid to
open III cir mouths about the
plight of the Negro and his right
to vote in local, county and state
elections, and sat around predicting
and waiting for the word that he,
Percy Greene had been either kill
ed are run out of the state for
advocating such things.
Then, he said, the second period
came when he, Percy Green start
ed receiving national recognition
and some of the highest honors
for his leadership. Since the sec
ond period came about and over
looking the affects of the Eisen-
hover election he warned, that
many of the so-called Big Neg
roes" of the state, unwilling to
give honor where honor is due,
have become envious, jealous, and
falt finding, and were now will
ing to do anything to defeat the
purpose and breakup the organi-
cation in an effort to become presi-
dent of something where they can
get the future honors now that
they have nothing much to fear.
He noted how in Jackson, a
white-man, Buford Posey, a form
er spokesman for the young COM
munist league, the communist hop
ing to destroy his leadership
because of his re fusal to es-
pouse the cause of the communist
party among Negroes, had used
Jackson Negro businessman, an I'M
suspecting dupe, to spread the re-
port that the campaign managers
for Governor White had paid him
large sum of money to urge that
Negroes of the state vote for Paul
B. Johnson in order to bring about

the election of Governor White,
the theory being that all White
people vote against any candidate
endorsed by Negro leader.
The result of this vicious lie, he
said, is that there is nothing being
done by Negro organizations in
Jackson because spurred on by jeal-
ousy and envy there are many
would be "Big Negroes" who have
lost no opportunity to spread this
vicious lie, thus further robbing
the Negro masses of their conf
dence in any Negro leadership.
In concluding he warned that
qualified Negro voters in the state
be alerted in order that they might
not be denied their vote in the
coming democrat primary in the
state on the charge of being re-
publicans. The best way to do this
he said is to join the association
and organize a club in each COM
munity.
The meeting voted to set new
date for the annual jefferson Jack
son Day Dinner which was set for
Friday night following the meet
ing. Saturday night, May goth, is
the new date set for the dinner.
The President was also author
lied to appoint a state committee
composed of two members from
each county in the state. He said
that he would make the appoint
ments as soon as he heard from
two persons in a county interested
in the purpose Of the organization.
The association voted to hold the
next state meeting in McComb
City.

believed the segregation law was

During the war, prior to the
passage of the anti-segregation
measure, southbound trains were
crowded beyond capacity and in
nearly every instance, white pas
sengers stood in the aisles while
colored passengers rode in COM
