accompanied a deputy sheriff for the
purpose of being placed In possession of

A writ to dispossess the Wise fami

tho town of New Merkel, which Is six
miles from Birmingham, was the cause
of the trouble.
When the officers reached the house
Mrs. Wise sent to the field for her sons.

RACE QUESTION
FROM THE INSIDE
"Hit's Jea' such nlgguhs ns you what
am brlngln' de consensus of opinion on
us black folks," said John McHenry
In the recorder's court Saturday, point
ing his Anger at William Cox, whom
he charged with cursing him. •‘Jes’
such niggahs what makes out you pm
Jes' as white as snow an' other nig
gahs am black as Ink, an' what am
tnfloo'sen de white folks to depravity or
de black man.”
McHenry probably would have con
tinued for some time, but the recorder
wanted to know Just what the trouble
had been about. It seems that Cox
mended a table for- McHenry and
Charged him 75 cents, of which he paid
60 cents. Then Cox began to dun him
for the balance.
"He come up to me an’ l.e donn apeak
like a gentleman, but he say. 'Xiggah,
