Resolution by J. G.. Mccullough

The following resolution by Super
indent of Education j. G. Mccullough
and strongly endorsed by MIR. E. c.
Epps, was unanimously passed:
Whereas, Education is the best safe
guard and surest guarantee of Demo-
cratic government and American in
stitLtions; and
Whereas, the rules of the Demo-
cratic party and the law of the State
require the signing of the club roll
by each voter in order to safeguard
and protect the primary; and
Whereas, too large percentage OF
these signatures in 1914, and again
in 1916 were marked with cross,
thereby indicating lack of founda-
ton training among the voters as well
as fundamental weakness and neglect
il our public school system, conditions
which ought not to have existed and
which can and should be remedied;
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the
Democratic convention of the county,
that every voter unable to sign his
own name and read his own ballot
ought to be given an opportunity to
learn how to read and write before
the end of 1920.

A Good Man Has Fallen.

The colored people of Williams
burg county and of KingStrce will
agree with me in saying that great
man has gone to his reward. | have
known Mr.. Hugh McCutchen for about
ten years; have done business with
him, he being president of the Wee
Nee Bank, which brought many col
ord people in touch with him. He
was generous, kind and always ready
to help the struggling race. He has
erected to his own memory an i'm
perishable monument in the hearts
of the colored people. Our deepest
sympathy go out to the bereaved
family.
