I wish to appeal to you notdo over

Of voting for the amendment to the
constitution providing qualifications
for voters.
The legislature by a two-thirds
vote has submitted this question to
you.
If the constitutional amendment is
not now adopted you may never have
another opportunity to vote fer it.
I had hoped to give all of Septem-
Der to bringing the Importance of this
amendment to your attention at pub
lie meetings. but my official duties
have rendered this impossible.
According to the last census there
are 223,073 negroes in the state who
could vote were their taxes paid. We
know that a large majority of the ne
groes are ignorant and purchasable
If money was now being used to
control the negro vote an intolerable
condition would exist in our state.
We must support all the democratic
nominees, but we cannot hope that
our political differences win always
end with a primary.
Mississippi Louisiana. South Care
lima, North Carolina, Alabama and
Virginia have adopted similar legisla-
lation The good accomplished in
each of these states is shown by the
fact that even those who opposed its
passage would now oppose its repeal.
Senator Lamar. of Mississippi. SEN

man of South Carolina, Governor Ay-
cock of North Carolina, Senator Dan

has borne testimony for the legisla-
tion.
Will not the press urge the voters
Of the state to throw themselves with
zeal into the support of this measure?
VIII not those who are listless see the
necessity for organization and action
before it is too late?
This is matter of such oyershad-
owing influence upon our future that
I cannot place it too strongly upon
your minds and hearts.

siderably more than As degrees. Here
me tell you, dip in the Indian ocean
is most soul-satisfying experience.
The water is not only warm; in some
places it is actually hot. But, oh, my!
to lie and float dreamily in that bluest
of waters, with dazzling greenery of
palms to the right, and a panorama of
skyline, flecked with snowy cloud
fleece to the left. and to breathe the
gentle lullaby air till you don't care
whether you float off to the equator
or sink to the bottom-yes, sharks or
no sharks.
I was always a little "dopy' about
the Indian ocean. l once knew a
young fellow-he was a French creole,
born in the Isle Bourbon, now down
on the maps as the Island of Reunion.
1t is right in the heart of the Indian
ocean, and not far from Madagascar;
and the way that fellow could reel off
yarns in creole French and broken
English about his natal isle would
have made George w. Cable, late Of
New Orleans, turn green with envy.
He was handsome chap and sang
divinely, and l first met him in Paris,
where he was singing small parts at
the Grand opera. Then 1 ran across
him in Cairo, where he was singing in
a production-if am not mistaken
of Aida" Afterward he came to
New York with a company that pro-
duced "Girafie-Girafia" at the Four
teenth street theater, and very good
company it was. But, in whatever
cline 1 met him, his theme was the
same-his beautiful isle and its beau
tiful ocean. He would talk for hours
of the purple fingers of the dawn,
stealing up the rose-vermillion sky"
and the huge, snow-capped mountain
that rose in the center of the island
and overtopped the city of Port
Philip, which l think was the name of
the seaport town where he was
born.
Some of his habits were truly ORR,
entail. For instance, he always per.
formed his ablutions kneeling on the
floor with a basin of water before
him, and he was always up to see the
sun rise, no matter how late he may
have gone to bed the night before.
He told many pretty stories of his
home and of his parents, whose only
child he was-the Benjamin of their
old age, long hoped and prayed for.
So they named him, when he did
come, Desiree' Qonged for). Ho had
a string of other names beside, but
I've forgotten them. His desire was
to see America and the Mississippi,
of which he had read wonderful
things by Chateaubriand, his favorite
author. Fortunately the opera troupe
