soUrn cARoLrNA's PLEA.

The strictly legal aspect OF the decision
of the United States circuit court upon
the .onstftutionaiity of the registration
law Of South Carolina has already been
presentsst. There is another phase which
A. of no less interest, but Is much more
unnleasant. II involves the status Of the
negro voter in the South: and tie stric-
lures of Judge Goff upon The conditions al

In tho complaint" said Judge Goff. ARE
appalling. and the result close on the Dor
der that divides outrage from crime"
This IL a very grave judgment to be
nnonmsuced from the bench. II seems to
confirm the stories published at the time
Of the last election in the Palmetto state
of the determined means taken to prevent
the colored people voting, and to nuliify
tho votes of those whose right 10 cast
ballot could not be successfully contested.
There has never been any question Of
the intent of the trainers of the registra-
ton law. which WAS aimed at the illiterate
and migratory negroes who moved from
place to place as the succeeding seasons
shifted the centers Of industry. Indeed.
counsel for the state. in the recent trial,
frankly admitted that the object OF the
law was TO disfranchise as many negroes
as possible when Gov. Evans was In
formed OF the courts decision. he made
public the declaration: "The time has

carolinian can fail TO uphold. But they
may rest assured that white supremacy
IN South Carolina Will be maintained"
Massachusetts has imposed an educa-
tlonal qualification and Michigan Is about
TO submit 20 the people a constitutional
amendment whose effect will be TO dis
franchise illiteracy. II that policy be COM
mendabie IN states populated by whites, it
