ATLANTA, Ga. - (SNS)

ATLANTA, Ga. - (SNS)
Registrars Of Georgia closed their
books Friday, reporting total
9l3,515 citizens qualified to parti-
cipate in the important July 18th
Primary election. Of this number,
1887 were Negro registrants,
most of whom have registered
within the first six months of the
year, following the action of
federal District Judge III ruling
Georgia's Democratic White Pri-
mary unconstitutional and violative
of the 18th, 14th and 18th Amend
ments to the U. S. Constitution.
Heaviest registrations were re-
ported in Fulton, DeKalb, Bibb,
Chatham, Floyd, Richmond, Troup
and all of which carrying six unit
votes. The total registration OF
Negroes in these counties is set at
6O,347. There are l59 counties for
the state with a total OF 4l0 coun-
ty votes.
COMPLAINTS POUR IN
Meanwhile, Negro leaders through
out the state continue to report
subterfuges and threats in newly
registered Negroes. A. T. Walden,
head of the State Association of
Citizens Democratic Clubs, stated
that a number of lawyers are now
working overtime TO stem this tide
of rank discrimination against the
Negro voters. In one county alone,
declared Mr.. Walden, one man, re-
garded as a Talmadge henchman,
is reported to have signed 700
challenges the entire Negro regis
tration for the county, in an effort
to keep Negroes from the polls.
One response to this legal SER
vice being provided member clubs
of the State Association, was that
the names of TOO Negroes, were re-
stored to good standing in Ware
County, where three members on
the Board of Registrars quit III
protest to the bias and rank dis
elimination in purgirg the names
of Negroes and skipping over those
of whites.
PROSECUTION sem
In Atlanta Saturday, Henry
Troutman, prominent Atlanta law
yer predicted that the Federal
Government will prosecute these
county registrars fop arbitrarily
purging the names of Negroes from
their lists. County Registrars who
are striking off Negroes without
also purging white voters are f1irt-
ing with terms in the federal peni-
Tertiary, Troutman said in an in
terview. Others who have voiced
extreme disapproval of the rank
discrimination, threats and oubter-
fuges against Negro registrants in
clude Austin Dean, editor at
Gainesville, who condemns the
"Talmadge Purge of Negro voters
in Hall County, where over COO
have been stricken from the list.
Active purging of Negroes only is
reporting also in Sumter, Houston,
Early and in Randolph Counties.
"If this purge story is right, Mr..
Troutman said in MS interview, it
is a part of the plan of such chal-
lenges to frighten the Negro voters
from appearir.a. and defending thei:
rights to vote, those who partici-
pate in such a conspiracy would be

ACTION ON EIGHT MONTHS
TERM DEFERRED

Recommendation for the disburS-
ement of the $3,000,000 Negro
school fund was discussed in a
meeting of County Superinten-
diets of Education here last week.
The meeting was called by A. F.
McGeehee, of Pascagoula, president
of the County SuperintendentS'
Association.
The 100000 fund, for the i'm
provement of Negro Education in
the state was appropriated by the.
1916 session of the state Legislature.
The group revised a resolution
presented by 238 Negro teachers
attending the North Delta Sum
mer School and Health Workshop
at Clarkdale. AS revised, the re-
solution agreed to adopt common
policies on training, regrouping OF
schools, transportation, length Of
term and pay.
The superintendent also voted
to ask the accrediting commission
to evaluate four years high schools
and colleges in order to raise edu-
cational requirements for Negro

lowed to vote. But all their votes
were challenged. Il is doubted that
the challenged votes were counted.
According to newspaper reports
adams County, of which Natchez
is the principal town, had the
largest number of qualified Negroes
OF any county in the state.
All of the Negro voters in Boil
var County were also challenged.
Bolivar County is in the heart of
the Mississippi delta and also had
a large number of Negro citizens
qualified in the election.
Thus is the general terror of a
rapidly increasing number of post
election day reports from large
and small towns and communities
from all sections of the state with
a great many still unreported be-
cause of the blanket of fear that
still hangs pall-like over the Ne
gro citizens.
In Louisville, in northeast Wins
ton County, Negroes were stopped
at the polls by two men who told
them If they insisted on voting
they would see that they were
taken out and properly taken care
of.
In the meantime reports say an
increasing number of letters from
Negroes especially World War II
veterans who were qualified and
denied the right to vote and
threatened and inundated and
beaten are being secretly sent to
