POLITICAL LIFE
The colored people of Caroline, while using the political
privileges granted them, have not made politics and political
ambitions the important things in life. Two colored men,
William E. Crockett and Philip Pendleton, have made the race
for membership in the House of Delegates, but both were defeated.
Rev. L. A. Goodloe was appointed postmaster of Bowling
176
several years. Isaac Morton, Philip Pendleton and J. H. A. Cyrus
each served as postmaster of Port Royal. M. F. Byrd and Wilson
Young are at present (1924) postmasters respectively at Central
Point and File. In 1923 there were 450 colored voters in Caroline.
