l DEMOCRACY LESSON
NORFOLK, Va. (ANP) A group of Negro school children
went to the City Council meeting here July 29 to ge.! first hand
information cn how democracy works in the yJvernmenl and got
I it, They listened to a bitter denunciation of the laxity as the ju
ve-nile and domestic relations deurf in permitting the mingling
of the races at court session.
The complaint, ’he second one made in recent months, was
made to members of the city council by W. L, Devariy Jr., white
lawyer. He said the arrangements in the court on race separa
tion are "entirely against the very spirit of our segregation laws."
"It's not my id**a if whfa's right in Virginia, 1 ' Devany con
tinued, declaring that there should be separate rooms for
the fwo races and that occupying separate seats was not enough.
Council members took no action on the issue and expressed
some doubt aas to their authority over the courts. City Manager
C. A, Harrell was requested to obtain a ruling on the question,
from City AtUrney Jonathan W. Old Jr.
During consideration of race mixing in the court of juvenile
and domestic relations City Manager Harrell presented a letter
from Judge H G. Cochran irj which he said cases involving
adults and juvenile were heard on different days. Colored per
sons sit cn one side of the detention room, he said, and whites
en the other.

THE CAROLINIAN
NEGRO FIREMAN
WENT WITH CASEY
ON HIS LAST RIDE
The dramatic story of "Casev”
■Jones which lias made railroad
history, and has remained fur de
cades as one of the industry's
j'it standing sagas, is t ami liar tr
; most Americans.
What is not generally known
is th fact that "Casey”, an Ii
; linois Central engineer, had a Ne
: gro fireman, Sim Webb, who ac
: companied him on his fateiful
journey that memorable evening
j of April 29. 1900, which was do <
lined to immortalize the impetu
1 ous Mr. Jones,
Although Casey pulled out aa
: hour and thirty five minutes
Mate from Poplar Street station!
| at Memphis, by the time be got
;to Grenada, Mississippi, he was
| only thirty-five minutes behind
schedule. The train was travel
; mg at better than a mile a min
: ute when Sim first glimpsed the
! tail-light, of a train ahead which
I was pulling into a siding so that
! 302 could get by.
In the dull light of the cab
Sim saw Casey kick his seat out
■'from under him, and in the in
stant the emergency brakes
' grabbed every wheel on the train
; and the wistle shrieked out a
I warning. But Sim heard no morn
He plunged into the darkness
from the gangway, struck a
elumn of buses at the far side
I of a little ditch and hurtled head
i over-heels for twenty feet besot e
\ he stopped.
Even as he slid along the rough
ground the brakes back through
and the dim outlines of baggage
the whole train were screaming,
| and mail cars and the faintly
j lighted windows of the coaches
I shot past him. As the last car
j passed with sparks flying around
i its wheels, there was a deafen
|mg crash of splintering wo o d
; and hissing steam from up ahead
Then silence and utter dark
; ness again , as if a great fiery
door, thrown open for an instant
I against the night sky, had been
| slammed shut again with a
| mightv crash.
Sim staggered to his set, dazed
! 'and badly skinned and bruised,
; hut not seriously hurt, and stum-
I hied ahead through the shadows
: beside the coaches. Those were
! J till on the rails, and passengers
and trainmen begarv»pouring out
on the ground and shouting
: bedlam of orders an d anxious
; questions.
| ! Up aheaci Sim saw the di m
| shape of a baggage car, off the
! rails and oartlv across the track.
! The mail car. next ahead, lay
: half on its side in the ditch,
j while the fender and overturned
locomotive was surrounded by a
| mass of splintered wood that had
i been a freight train caboose and
j h freight ear. Sim tripped and
fell to his knees in a sea of ?mx
J grave] which proved in the* dull
1 light of a lantern, to be corn -

walls of his cal) lay Casey Jones,
not badly mangled, but quite
dead, with the broken end oft!
whistle-cord still clutched in his i
hand.
His onginc had split through
the caboose of No. 83 and a box
es) of baled hay. smashed open
a boxcar of bulk corn and seri '
ously shaken a flatcar loaded
with lumber, which lay in heaps
in the shallow cut, almost filling
il to die brim. Mon were running
about with lantyrns and shouting
to one another and checking up
on Ihe crew and passengers.
j Three of the crow of No. 1 be
sides Sim. as well as two pas
sengers. it evelnually developed
were bruised or otherwise slight
ly injured, and a half dozen oth
ers had been badly jostled. The
freight trainmen of No. 83. for
tunately, had .just enough warn- j
to leap to safety. No one else was
killed—just Cascv.
This episode might have been i
puss. another train wreck, had it
not been for a Negro cinderp.t
man, Wallace Saunders, of the 11- •
linois Central, who, with his ;
helper, Ike Wentworth, impro- j
vised a chant in memory of Ca
sey Jones. By 1903 it was one |
of the ten best sellers in the coun- j
try. although Saunders never re*
i reived any royalties.
Sim Webb is still hale and'
hearty, and can recall every do
tail of that night and of his oarii- ;
: er association with Casey and cv
erything he says about it checks
perfectly with the established
facts. Incidentally, Webb’s father
before him was an Illinois Cen
tral man
