Is it be lievable that he is ignorant that people of other races receive their '"e reward for their labor and that his is withheld from him? What -9 the promptings of human na ture in other races when they feel at they are not receiving a fair re turn for their work? He does not; take example from other races; hej ves not destroy what his labor has ; created or resort even to peacable strikes. He may shirk his work : or may even striks himself until ! "nger forces him to return to I "ork for the same employer" or ' mr.e other for the same wasre. I Ti'ere never has been a time in history of the world when un willing woTVers were classed as ""cient; and every man who fee's that he is ill paid for his labor is 'n unwilling worker. I .TIM CROW CAR AND SEGREGA TION LAWS. Among the most irritating almost unendurable condition 'eh Negroes are subjected ''ic.Iim Crow Car, Residential and of i are j Pe- gregation and Labor Segregation laws of variocs Southern states Negroes pay the same railroad fares s other passangers but are forced ! o ride in second hand, filthy un 1 50 sanitary, combination coach and 1 2ii 1 higgage car jammed next or near j to the locomotive, tender; if the 00 j Negro coach becomes crowded, winch is more frequent than other wise, they are compelled to stand "nd" ride thus to their destination, although they have paid for a seat Residential segregation agitation now rife, seeks to force Negroes into certain blocks or districts in towns and cities and certain town ships or districts in the rural dis tricts: these laws, v.'hen applied will simply mean that whatever por- j tion of any city is most undesirable! will he open to Negroes for residen-j Hal purposes, he will not be permit- 221 (10 ; ted to exercise his choice as a free man in buying a home nor will the party who may like to sell him the line he may desire he allowed exercise his choice in selluing prop erty owned hy him to the person willing to pay his price. The same Is true of rural segregation; the Negro will be pushed into the swamps and worn out sand hills when rural segregation laws are passed. The vlciousness and in iustice of law of this character readilv reveal themselves when ex aminded. 'ti the textile mills of South Cpr Mbited from working In the same olint Necroes end whites are pro- room at the same time. If Negroes and whites can be nrohibited from working together in the sahne room the prohibition can be extended to prevent them from working to gether in or on the same building; in banks as porters or messengers; In stores as porters or drivers of delivery wagons or as window wash ers in anv building where there are white workers, in hotels, or on rail way trains; and when politicans be gin to see the beauty of new schemes, brand new issues afford ing opportunity to pose as cham pions of the poor 'White working man and upon which he can appeal to the white voter In the primary, demand will be made that statutes be passed to prohibit Negroes from "'o'-king together In any occupation where white men will want the jobs. LACK OF SCHOOL FACILITIES. The most flagrant disregard of the Necro's welfare and rights as a taxraying citizen is the refusal to provide, reasonably adequate facili ties for the education of Neero youth. The public schools in South Carolina, except In some towns and cities, are a pretense and a farce. There is absolutely no supervision except in some towns and cities, and in most of these supervision is merely perfunctory. The Negro rural school teacher is the poorest naid and any class of workers except female domestics. Their schools average about three months in lencrth of term at an average salary of about $18.00 per month for each teacher. This condition is driving the most competent teacher out of the sohool room into other occupa tions and leaving the work to be done by young ' and Inexperienced female teachers and others for the most part lncompeatent Spl&ndid edifices, beautiful and complete in design and equipment are built for white children, who are conceyed to and from school at the public expense; night schools are estab lished for white and public li braries are maintained out of the taxes paid by all, while Negro schools are still conducted in shacks without equipment, a majority of them subjecting teacher and ehll- Quick and Comfortable "DIXIE FLYER" Between Jacksonville and Chicago, St Louis, NORTH AND WEST All Steel Equipment.

LIMIT OP ENDURANCE REACHED. ALMOST That the Negro has endurel all the harsh and galling conditions imposed upon him and remained in the South, contributing with appar ent cheerfulness and with marvel ous willingness, his due share of toil and labor, and more than his share of sacrifice in the upbuilding of this great Southern country, was because there 'was no market for his labor, no haven of refuge where opportunity, a man's chance, and real freedom beckoned him to come. And now, after fifty years of hopir,T against hope, the gates of the labor market have opened to him In every section of our com mon country, and thecall, the en ticing lure is not alone high wages, but opportunity, a man's chance ajid real freedom. In my opinion, the South is the place where the Negro can best reach his heighest development, if living can be made tolerable and like all other citizens ne can be brought under the protection of-the laws of the states in which he re sides and he Is granted the right of sharing the benefits proceeding from the laws. But if the Southern white people remain blind to the fact or refuse to concede that the Negro Is a hu man with human aspirations and ambitions the same as humans of other races and continue to with hold from him justice and a square deal there ds no alternative but for him to leave the South that he loves so well. The wealth and permanent prog ress of a commonwealth rest upon the foundation built by a laboring class that is contented, and who by their thrift and industry can be come prosperous and happy. And there is no room for nursing the hope of (prosperity where civil and political rights are denied in a government where the Iballot is the only weapon of defense; where pro tection under the laws is denied: where education - is denied: where the wages of the toil are insufficient to buy the necessities of life, and where Jim Crow Car and Segrega tion laws aTe instruments of op persslon and humiliation. The Negro does not ask for spe cial privileges or special legislation In his behalf. He does not ask to be measured by any standard less than the white man's standard, but he insists that the same test s.hall apply to all men of all races. H refuses to accept the declarations of men, who claim to be the earthly agents and representatives of the Imlghty, tho Interpreters of His plans and purposes of His will and laws, and who solemnly asserts that i The DIXIE FLYER Route SOUTHBOUNO UXhicago.
