Around Our TOWN
Shelby SIDELIGHTS
By RENN DRUM
SHELBY JUST seems to be one of those places where
public speakers of ability are produced. There isn’t any
necessity of running over a list of the town’s outstanding
orators, yet since Emancipation Day, on January 1, for the
colored folks any number of people about town have com
mented upon the fact that Shelby has some able colored
speakers as wel) as white ones.
THIS COMMENT centers to quite
an extent about the speech of Rev.
John A. Hunter, one of the town’s
best known colored men.
“Clyde Hoey, Max Gardner or any
of the others would have had a task
excelling the oratory of John that
day,” Mr. W. B. Nix says. "And
John was pretty clever at tying in
Illustrations and Jokes with the
trend of his speech,” he added.
The speaker, he said, laid parti
cular emphasis on the fact that the
negro cannot get anywhere unless
the white man. stands by him. To
illustrate his point the speaker re
lated the following episode: Some
years back a colored man who lived
near a flag stop on a main line
railroad wanted to catch the train
at that point. Journeying- there he
t was informed that the train wouid
stop only when flagged and would
, not stop then except to pick up
white passengers. In a nearby field
the colored man noticed a white
man working. He walked over and
asked the white man to come stand
by him near the tracks until the
train came along.
*1 don’t want to catch the train,”
the white man remonstrated.
"That’s all right, boss.” the negro
said as he heard the traih whistle,
“Just come stand by me a minute,
please.'' » . »
The white man walked over and
stood by the negro at the tracks,
and the negro waved frantically to
catch the engineer's eye. As the
train reached them the brakes
screeched and it came to a dead
stop. The negro crawled on, the
white man went back to his work,
and the train pounded on down the
rails. Down the aisle came the con
ductor.
“Where’s that white man who got
on with you?” he asked the negro.
“Boss, he w«n’t go in’ nowhere
and he didn’t get on; he were Just
standing by me.”
“That’s about the only way,” de
clared the Rev. Mr. Hunter that
“us colored folks can expect to pro
gress—with the white man stand
ing by use.”
WHILE THE topic centers about
the colored people it is recalled that
a building and loan official of Shel
by recently made the statement that
he has had it proven to him that
colored people, for the moet part,
prefer to pay rent rather than to
own their homes because of the
worry connected with home owner
ship.
According to the Bit man an
assistant of his pui nased the
homes qf three colored families be
cause they could not keep up their
payments. He then turned around
and rented the fames to the same
famiies, and to date they have not
missed a single payment—and the
rent Is only live cents less per week
than the building and loan pay
ments, which within a lew years
would have given them their homes
clear of debt.
