To acquaint its readers with the participation of Neg roes In the North Carolina Leg islature and U. S. Congress, the CAROLINIAN will publish a series of articles dealing with this subject. The fourth of these featured stories appears in this issue. Nearly sixty years ago three Ne groes were elected to the North Carolina Senate during the period of Fusion polities. They were W. Lee from the Fifth Seantorial District of Edgecombe County, 1897-1899. W. B. Henderson from the Eleventh Senatorial Dis trict of Warren and Vance County, 3897-1899, and Thomas O. Fuller from Warren and Vance County, 1899-1901. W. LEE PERSON W. Lee Person began his term in the North Carolina Senate in 1897, and because of the similiarity of his Senate bills and Young’s House bills it is apparent that they worked together to achieve the same purpose. This legislator introduced bills designed ia increase the • efficiency of the public school teachers and their salary. In crease pablic school appropria tions, Mid prevont dincrimins tl«n In making jury lists. e«- Hat and maintain an insurance department, and the employ ment of two snore physicians for the schools for the blind and deM. In cooperation with his associ ates, he achieved the incorporation of certain Negro lodges, banking institutions in Edgecombe County, and the Ptcki'o-rd Sanitarium for the treatment of Nagro TB patients. Person mode a strong bid to bring about tha enactment cd. an anti-lynching law which did not pas* the Skmata Not only this, but his racial awareness lad him to pro pose a bill to prevent discrimina tion in passenger accomodations. The bill, of course, was not enact ed into law Senator Person was definitely 3- ware of labor problems at the time, j Therefore, he introduced measures designed to deal with higher wages and restrictions on hiring convict i labor in competition with free la - bor AU the measures were defeat ed, hi« effort* in their behalf dem onstrated that hts mind v/as attun- j ed to the real problems of labor, W B. HENDERSON Henderson served in the North Carolina Senate from 1997-1899 but he showed little intiatlve in intro ducing bills. However, he served on committees of Penal Institutions, Public Roads, Insane Asylum, and Claims. Other legislators who Intro duced bills designed to improve education in the state could depend upon the support of Henderson. What few bills he did propose dealt with fences, livestock, register of deeds, and a dispensary for Fance County. Governor Russell appointed Hen derson chief fertilizer inspector of (he state to succeed James Young who had been appoined a colonel in the Spnnish-Americnn War. THOMAS O. FULLER Thomas O, Fuller was the las! Negro to serve in the North Carol ina' Senate when he was elected in I Delia R.

Davis, delivered a wonderful sermon. He used as his text: “First Hand Religion.” 1809. At the time. Fuller was principal of the Shiloh Institute in Warren ton. N. C Somehow the man was drafted into politics against his wishes, but' he received all. the votes cast for senator in his dis trict except forty-two which were distributed among three white can didates. Fuller entered the Senate on Jan uary 4, 1898. and by shewd manip ulation his name was called last so that he would “kiss the Bible” up on taking oaths after the whites. Extreme Democratic sentiment resulted in the failure of his ap pointment to any committees. The Caucus of the Democrats simply ig nored the Negro senator. In order to clear the jails of pris oner* every three months and speed up the judicial process, Full er introduced a bill which would give the superior court concurrent jurisdiction in all criminal cases. Tlie bill became a law, and Full er's hometown apreeiatod the mea sure as one of economy. According to the Warren tow n Record, March IS, 1899, the citizens thanked him for introducing the bill. Fuller also introduced a reso lution urging the. legislature requesting all congressmen to vote for the ratification of the treaty oi’ peace, which conclud ed teh Spanish-American War. The measure died in the com mittee meeting. Born in Franklinton, N. C, on October 25. 1887, Fuller attended a private school at five, entered the Nonrial School at Franklinton at fifteen, and graduated from Shaw University at the age of twenty two.
