twenty years and have built up an
enormous business without ever once
appealing to or using the colored

and was surprised to learn that su.ch
a field existed and promised to con
sider entering the colored field If
they do I shall give full publicity to
their pans through this column and
would then suggest that each adver

wide reputation in the white field un

since then the widow has conducted
the business alone She is now pre

VIRGINIA DAILY RACKS NE
GROES ON GRAND JURIES
IN STATE
RICHMOND,. Va ;—Declaring that
Judge Lowell, in his famous decision
iiv the .George Crawford case, “point,
ed to; a sore:spot in the Vriginia sys
tem of justice,” the Richmond Times
Dispatch, editorially praises Judge
Frederick W Coleman, who fined a
white citizen $10 for refusing to sit
on a grand jury with a Negro.
Speaking of the Crawford case,
which attracted national attention
when carried through Massachusetts
courts by NAACP attorneys, and isj
now before the U S supreme court,
the Times Dispatch says: “The dan
ger of a system which does not re
cognize Negroes in its deliberations
has been sharply emphasized in the
case of George Crawford—Judge
Lowell’s decision was based on the
fact that Negroes are not called for
jury service in Loudoun county and j
therefore the case against Crawford,
may have been prejudiced — Judge
Coleman is right There is no better
time than the present to cure a sore
spot which has brought to Virginia
much unfavorable publicity.”
