News has j US t reached this

that the news is so meagre and
the anticipation is so great good

its elucidation be withheld for
few weeks. Their friends and
relatives in Williamson, Key

SOMETHING AMUSING BUT
SHAMEFUL
People Thought Voters Going to
Jail

To the hundreds of visitors in
WEIGH Tuesday of this week and
to spectators who beheld the in
coming Of the many automobiles
filled with voters composed of
the Republican colored women
and men in charge of deputy
sheriffs. When approaching the
court house yard, being apparent
ly under the care of an officer
caused many of the spectators
standing by to make the remark
who are all of those people {?
Are they arrested? Where are
they taking them? Are they go
ing to carry them to Jail? Won
der if the officers raided some
place" There the deputy sheriff
in his beautiful uniform, with
a display of his beautiful badge
and his long gun naturally &C
counted for these questions. The
answer as to the Jail part of the
question resolved itself in the
fact that they were taking these
voters to the County Court house
where they were turned over to
the County Commissioners w h o
officialized these voters after
having them to change their re-
gistration from Republican to
that of Democrat. The innocent
but helpless colored men and wo-
men submitted to advice to
change thei registration with
the registrars, the hope now is
tat they have been appraised that
they did not know what they
want when they registered and
that they will be good hereafter.
The whole thing has the ap-
pearance of Negro slavery oper-
ated under the auspices of Negro
operators. Ha, ha, ha. Never
before in life has it ever been
known or seen that Negro de-
putty sheriffs could be found
securing every nook and corner
for Republican Negro men and
women who had already regis
tered before lawfully selected
registrars to be taken to the
County Court, the last lap of
authority for the express pur-
pose to change their registra-
ton. No white Republican wo-
man or white Republican man
was seen on their way to the
Transfer Station" Each of the

 T didn't mean you. You're okay. Good refiexes and rhythm-if you'd been a man you'd make a swell pi- lot, Jackie"

 Sorry. But it's the truth. You can't change the world too quick ly. Maybe some day women will be the leaders in aviation - look at the way they run affairs in their homes now! I know darn well you'll boss the guy you marry ."
 But I'm not going to marry anyone unless Mother manages to make me, as she gives every evidence of doing the way things are stacking up. Roger, you said you had another idea. Something to do with what you've just told me. I don't see how your strato- sphere flight can make things any easier" She remembered that she was still hanging on, as though she were clinging vine, to Rogers arm. She pulled away, cau- tiously, hoping he would not notice And was she glad now that the lights were out so that he could not see that her face was flushed!
 Well tell your mother we can't make any definite plans until I've made my flight" Roger explained Maybe if he became a hero, Jackie might even be willing to marry him afterwards. She did not know it - and the good Lord would have to help him if she found it out!-but Roger was on Evelyn's side in this marriage business.
 Jackie considered. That ought to hold her off a While, she agreed. But after the flight?"

 IL ington was altogether fitting to follow that of Franklin on the irst American postage stamps, hat of Thomas Jefferson was no ess well chosen.
 For by 1851, when the first ,ull series of U. s. postage was is- sued, history had already placed Thomas Jefferson in imperish- ,ble perspective. He had drafted he Declaration of Independence, served in the Continental Con- ,ress, revised the statutes of Vir- ginia, served as minister to France, secretary of state under Washington, was twice elected President, founded the University ,f Virginia, and had negotiated the louisiana Purchase.
 When he died July 4, 1926, 50lh anniversary of the Declaration of independence, he went secure n his stature as the most con- ;picuous of American apostles of democracy and one of the great ,st liberals of modern times. Aside from Washington, he was the only President on the 1851 series. The fve-cent stamp, brown, show ng Jefferson after a painting by Stuart, is reproduced below, one and one-half times actual size.

 Well, was only trying to be helpful" She must like him a little bit, the way she had reacted to that.
 You ought to be ashamed to say such thingsw She looked as though she would like to slap him again. Then as suddenly her eyes turned starry, her lips tremulous, she was all tender femininity and yielding sweetness, as unthink- ingly she caught his arm, pressing close to him again, You didn't mean itl It's not that risky!" She was seized with that uneXplain- able panic once again, that sicken- ing emptiness.
 T was kidding" he said lightly. But he put his two hands on her shoulders and pushed her gently from him.
 Whew! He'd rather do any number of test-diyes, climb to any stratospheric heights, than have Jackie looking like that, so un- bearably close, yet so unattainably far from him.
 She sank back, releasing an- other big sigh Relief flooded through her, as though she had been made whole again. Who is this wonderful Santa Claue?" she murmured. You didn't tell me his name, Roger. Or anything about him.
