The ignorance Of both the back
woods Negro and poor white Ia ap-
palling and should call for q Con-
gressional investigation into the
graft and corruption that keep q
segment Of the population almost
a century behind the times.
The common people are slow to
move; although agitation some
times stirs them into unreasoning
mob anger in which assassinations,
murders, lOOting and pillaging Is
the net result.
The reason nothing has been done
Is that these people don't know that
