Would Restrict
Negro Vote BY
Amendment

Montgomery, Ala-The State
Democratic organization will put
before the voters in the Novem-
Der 5th election a constitutional
amendment measure, the Bos-
we'll amendment, which would
set up as a qualification for re-
gistration the ability Of the pros
pective voter to read, write and
interpret the Constitution of the
u. S.
This same political trick which
was used to restrict Negro vot-
ing after the Civil War would
invalidate the present voting
qualification of ability to read
and write and own property
valued at $500.
The proposed measure is OPP
posed by Governor-Elect Folsom,
Republicans, PAC and several
local business groups.

The leadership of Otis Samuel
O'Neal, one of the first Negro
county farm agents, brought agri
cultural prosperity to two pow
erty-ridden counties in Georgia.
Hailed as "the South's outstand-
ing Negro citizen today Otis
O'Neal and his achievements are
the subject of an article by O. K
Armstrong in The Readers Di-
gest for November.
The Digest article, condensed
from The Progressive, tells how
ONeal brought himself from pen
niless obscurity to the position he
occupies today. Both his parents
had been born in slavery; O'Neal
himself worked his way through
Tuskegee Institute, where Pro-
fessor George Washington Car
yer became his inspiration. Up
on his appointment as farm agent
for Houston and Peach counties,
O'Neal found everywhere frank
poverty from the one-crop sys-
tenn" with sharecroppers paid a
pittance for their years work in
the cotton fields.
O'Neal taught the farmers to
diversity their crops rather than
depend on cotton alone. He found
idle land which tenant farmers
could buy, and arranged loans
for them. He organized his ter
ritory into communities, with a
"key farmer" as leader Of each.
To-day" the Digest article
says, ''in O'Neals territory you
see painted houses, improved
roads, and high-grade cattle. You
hear boys talking about their
calf clubs, and girls about their
chickens and egg-laying con-
tests Home ownership among
the rural colored families has
climbed from 8 per cent to &C
per cent in the 80 years Of
O'Neal's agricultural guidance.

Bishop Sims Of
New York CITY
Was Not Tried

The time set for the trial of
Bishop Slmms charged by the
church with dishonest handling
of church funds, disobedience to
the law and authority of the
church, failed in its efforts to
have him answer to the charges
as Bishop Simms got out Fed
eral Injunction against those who
went to Cincinnati October % to
try him.
Bishop r. C. Ransom, the vice
senior bishop was in charge of
the trial, and as Bishop Simms
was under charges he could not
legally function in his district
in New York and Bishops Greene
and Wright were placed in charge
of the entire works. 1t is under
stood that this is a temporary
assignment pending the extra ses-
sion of the General Conference in
this city this month.
1t is further alleged that COM
plants came from New York
from ministers and lay-mem-
bers against Bishop Simms to the
Bishops Council at Kansas City
last June, and upon these COM
plants the Council attempted to
adjust the affairs of the district
by placing Bishop Wright OF
Ohio in charge of the New York
Annual Conference.
1t is alleged that Simms re-
fused to relinquish his claim and
authority over said conference,
bring the contention to the civil
courts.

Well-meaning groups often

he says, explaining !:
Take the Negroes. For de-
cades they have fought to abo-
dish lynching, poll taxes, and
discrimination But recently
Negro groups took stand that

many cities, local units of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People
campaigned to ban the showing
of musical version of Uncle
Toms Cabin on the ground that
it portrays the Negro in a dero-
gatory manner. 1t is to the credit
of the national officers of the
NAACP that they quickly saw
that a civil rights issue was in
