The Morgan City Free Press
(Rep.) is strenuously urging the adop-
ton of a constitutional amendment le-
curing an educational qualification for
voters. In paragraph filling up its
editorial page, it says among other
things: ---'----
The writer is one of many Others
who eeme South for the express pur-
pose Of freeing the negro. We have
advocated all the assistance necessary
to their protection and that assistance
has been carried beyond all reason.
They have had time enough, have
been counseled enough, and financially
assisted enough. 1t would be worse
than folly it would be crime to car.
ry on this policy longer. The colored
people must learn to be self-sustainine
and stand square on their feet and say
I'VE will help ourselves" If there
Is one colored man out of every hum
dred who knows how to read and
wrlte' let the other ninety-nine give
that man dollar piece and 20 to |
school to him. And the same rnle
would apply to the" poor whites,n A
man who lives to be twenty Que wears
old, who cannot read and write, lacks
the progressive spirit necessary to the
building up Of a State. Go and learn
TO read.

The action Of the board Of directors is interpreted
generally as indicative OF determination on the part

Willard and his friends is taken evidence that
the Willard faction have not secured absolute control
OF the stock necessary 10 approve his ind vldual
schemes or confirm him in secure possession OF power

feeling has been aroused by the publication by Mr..

warmth: MIR Willard any st0ckholder in the

that is not tho action OF the board and the pnbllca-
ton OF Mr.. Vlllards plan was totally unauthorized
by the board or the special commit tee'
The official plan adopted yesterday by a
unanimous vote Of the directors. It was explained
that tae reason why the amount set apart FOR the
redemption Of the FIRST, second and thrd morteages
was over &c less than that liked in the Vi lard
circular was that there land notes sufficient to
retire the bonds OF the Pend dOrec division IN about
three years. and that the operation OF tie nk ng
fund and land operations VIII suffice 10 RETRO the
bonds OF tho Nilsson RIVER division In about ten year..
These facts had apparently been overlooked By Mr..
Wizard IN tho connection OF his circular.
The preparation Of the official plan for reiundng
had been entrusted Robert Harris, chairman Of the
board Of directors; Thomas T. Oskes Oh irman Of the
executive committee: Henry Willard chairman OF tho
finance committee; Charles b. VIZ CHIT. cha r:nnu Of

The Willard advertise for proxies, out n'ng a
plan Of reilndng, was signed by only two members
Of the committee assigned 10 H. preparation Of the
Official pan--namely. MessrS Willard and Oalas.
THO Willard plan will lie withdrawn owing TO tho
severe criticism ~ the acton OF Mr. Willard and his
friends. Mr.. Willard agreed 10 this when he voted
10 favor Of the official scheme,
