IN. o.. replied to speeches of Messrs.
Morgan, McEnery and Money or the
proposed amendment tn me Oonetitu
rion of North Carolina. He maintained
that the proposed amendment was
clearly unconstitutional.
In conclusion be sald:
"The section attempting to instruct
the court no to coDstrue the amend
ment will not fool the voters of the
State into supporting such a DANGER
Gus scheme. The voters of North Gar
DINA are intelligent enough to know
that there is not only grave, if not Ger
tain danger, to sixty thousand white
voters in this amendment, but they
also know that if this amendment were
adopted and section five eliminated. no
power under heaven could restore to
those voters their ballot except by
again amending the Constitution.
Thete 60 600 illiterate white voters are
intelligent enough to know that when
once disfranchised they would have
no vote to he p change the amendment
and help WlDe out the wrong. They
know that the average politician onIy
fears the people go long a. they have
a vote.
This whole sc he ne is not only fraugh
with Danger but it is unnecessary Il
puts the South in a false and unenvi
aole position to attemot to deal with
suffrage in this uncRndid manner"

for several more to join SOON. We
feel the need of organization. We
need to be organized to fight any enc
my that may present itself. We need
to be organized now to fight the Ruano

am of the opini IN that it would be bet

lied in n body 80 we Gas l stated
above) would be ready for anything
that may present itself to us.
I thought I would ask some ques.
tions about the Jordan plan, but will
not at present But it seems to me
there ought TO be a full understanding
about the Jordan plan. 1t will be hard
to orgeDIZs the farmers in a tobacco
association until they thor oughly IN
derstRnd the plan. / think it would
be we'll to give it's workings in full
give the details Rs much as possible
from beginning to end.
/ think to commence the tobacco
fzht we should, in the first place, re,
duce the acreage at least 26 per cent.
Then I am inclined to think the Jor-
dan plan would be best / have heard
some other plans suggested: Some Say
build factories; some say boycott. I
will confess l don't know which is
best. but I. for one, am ready for the
fight When some good plan is settled on.
In making a hgnt, let's % sure we
are right. Then we can ask God to
be with US; and il God is with US, the
victory is ours.
I want to impress upon the farmers
the advantage we would have If we
were organized, Think how eas lily we
doWned the bagging trust. / think we
could as easily down the guaro trust.
SO let US organize. Farmer, your in
