Negro Lawyers
by
r. Jess Brown

There are considerable number
of old timers in Mississippi who are
familiar with the names Of many
of the Negro lawyers who pio-
neered in this state in the defense
Of the rights of her citizens. Others,
however, may not be so well in
formed.
Negro lawyers in Mississippi, like
any other group, are not new. The
record dates all the way back to
the early seventies. The first group
Of Negro lawyers. according to an
article appearing in January, 1880
issue of the Journal of Negro His
tory, cover a period ranging from
1873 to 1900. Among this group
were A. w. Shadd, who was adj
mitted in the early seventies; John
F. Harris, who bcame member of
the bar at about the same time:
and John Werles, 1878; Other Ne
groes admitted to the Mississippi
Bar during that period included J.
D. Ferrire, 1874; William Small
wood, 1874; L. K. Atwood, 1877;
j. D. Webster, in the latter sew
entities; William E. Mollison, 1881:
Willford H. Smith, early eighties;
Samuel A. Beadle, 1884; A. B.
Grimes, 1885; Dave Temple, 1886;
John R. Lynch, 1894; and w. M.
Riley, 1898. The lawyers in this
group were faced with the period
Immediately following the close of
the Civil War and had some advan-
tageS over those who were to APP
pear among the second group that
came later.
The second group was confronted
with a considerable tougher propo-
sition. upon deciding to. join the
honorable profession. This was due
largely to the fact that the tables
had turned relative to the political
situation of the state and the road
had become harder to travel.
Among this group came John c.
Hill, 1900; Newton Handy, 1908; c.
j. Burns, 1904 or 5; P. F. Williams,
about the same time; Nathan S.
Taylor, 1906; Meriman M. Howard,
1906; Perry w. Howard, 1906; S. D.
Redmond, 1909; A. Carruthers, 1910;

years on the opposite side of the world
has helped me appreciate the fine

In the field of irrigated agriculture I
was able to observe one of the earth's
oldest and still most primitive civil
cations which has practiced irrigation
and agriculture far before any recorded
history of man in that country. The
thing which impressed me. most was
the ability of the soil to produce good
crops after all those years.

SEATTLE, May 15.-A jarring

day. There were no immediate
reports of damage or injuries.
The shock. which started with
a rolling motion at 500 and

hit this area since the big quake

said the quake centered within

He said it was of an intensity

PARIS. May 15-A new policy
for Indo-C China, both military
and political. was being ham
mered out today in Paris and in
Washington with one quick i'm
mediate prospect - there likely
will be two Pusan-like defense
areas established in Indo- China
to fortify the Western hold
there.
The French National Defense
Council met yesterday and again
today to determine among other
things. how far it could go in
reinforcing Indo- o-China without
inviting rebellious factions in
the Assembly to throw out the
present government.
Further, evidently with Amer
ican consultation, France was
looking into a vast regrouping
OF it's badly scattered forces in
Indo- China with a view to hold
ing the two most vital points.
These are the Red River delta
and the equally rich section
around Saigon.
The Council decided to send
Gen. Paul Ely, chief of the gen.
eral staff, and Gen. Raoul Salan,
to Indo-China to examine the
situation. Gen. Salan is a former
commander in Indo-China.

Officially, the French and

present French government is
not considering Indo-China a
lost cause because of the defeat

ating with the expectation it will
have solid American support.
There were two major areas Of

at the following:
