Fed. Judge Takes
sc. Vote Case
Under Amusement

Columbia, S. C - Federal judi
ge J. Waring took under advise
ment last Wednesday the cult to
declare void the ''South Carolina"
plan designed to keep colOred peo-
pie from voting in Democratic
primaries.
George Elmore, of Columbia,
brought the suit after he had been
refused the right to vote in the
1916 primary. Colored people in
South Carolina are permitted to
vote only in the general election,
which is simply ratification OF
the results of the primary.
The 1914 legislature rescinded
all laws relating to primaries in
order that the State Democratic
party be reorganized as a private
club in order to circumvent the
decision of the United States Court
in the Texas primary case, holding
that colored people cannot be leg
ally excluded from participating in
primary elections.
Herold Boulware, attorney Tor
Elmore, argued that South Caro-
lina's Democratic primary arrange
ment 'is a scheme to prevent Neg
groes from voting He said the
only opportunity the elector has
to cast a meaning ballot in South
Carolina is in the primary.
Attorneys for the Date Demo
cratic party moved to dismiss the
case but had to wait their turn
to argue the point.
They insisted there ere no feder-
al questions involved, and that no
court had jurisdiction as. the par
ty as a private club unregulated
by law since 1914.

Industrial Life
Insurance Go.
Changes Name

Industrial Life & Heolth Insur-
ance Company ofAtlanta Georgia,
which carries insurance for more
than $418,900,000 on many thous-
ands of persons in II southern
and is one of the top-ranking In
dustrial insurance componies in
the nation, has chaged it's name to
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF
GEORGIA.
J. N. McEachern, President,
said in an announcement Saturday
that the change was part of the
company's program for widening
it's scope to provide life insurance
contracts in large amounts on an
annual permium basis, in addison
to the traditional weekly payment
(Industriay' insurance which it has
provided for millions of perosns
since the company was organized
in Georgia in 1891.
Mr.. McEachern asserted the
company plans to increase its ag-
ency force, now more than 5000
and extend it's operations into all
parts of the country. 1t now has
125 district offices in Georgia,
Florida, Alabama, South Caroline,
Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee,
North Carolint, Virginia, Kentuc-
ky, and Louisiana.
Management and agency forces
remain the same and all policies
bearing the Industrial Life and
Health Insurance Company name
remain completely Wild, Mr.. Nc
Eachern emphasized. The change
is merely to remove the restrict
i've implications of the former
name in view of the fact that the
company has broadened it's cover
age to provide many other types
of policies than the Industrial Life
and Health insurance which it
issued exclusively for more than
half a century.
Because of it's reputation for fin

Negro Homes
Bombed In
Residential Fight

Atlanta, Ga - Two white men
planted a bomb between 1913 and
339 Ashby street S. W., and it's
shattering explosion blew out from
20 to "a windows of the residences
and did minor damage to a front
porch of one. 1t was a continu-
alton of the Sells-Ashby housing
fight which had been going on
several months.
Miss Lucille Harris, who lives
at 339 Ashby with her sister, Will
lie and others, reported that a
rumor had been circulated in the
neighbOrhood for two or three
days before the bombing that per-
sons were planning to bomb the
house at 352 Ashby by Thursday
night. This threat was thwarted,
she believed, because of the heavy
police protection placed in the
neiglborhood during the time.
A few moments before the ex-
plosiOn a dog was heard to bark.
A woman yho lives in one of the
houses attracted by the braking,
saw two white men plant the bomb
she reported. She said she saw
them run back of the houses and
lose themselves in the tall prass
after planting the bomb.
MEN OVERLOOKED
Police who investigated the ex-
plosiOn shortly afterwards are
reported to have gone back of
the houses to the location where
the men lost themselves but could
fine no trace of them.
Immediately after the police left,
the two men were seen to emerge
from their hideout and are re-
ported to have fired a volley of
shots. An inhabitant of one of
the dwellings, saw the two men
running and returned their fire. 1t
is believed that none of the shots
took effect.
Saturday morning detectives ex
amined the spot where the men
were said to have hidden and TO-
und that the grass showed eviden-
ce that someone had either tramp
led it or lain upon it.
LOUDEST OF SERIES
In habitants of both houses re-
marked that the explosion was the
loudest of the series that have
harassed the neighborhood during
the past nine months.
HOUSES TWICE BOMBED
The residence at 1852 Ashby St.
! owned by Rev. A. C. Epps, has
been bombed twice during the
past few months. An occupant OF
the house said in reference to
the recent bombing he saw tyo
white men in black Of his house
who appeared to be planting a
bomb there. They fled when thep
noticed that he had spotted them,
said the occupant.

Joe Louis Not Even
Bent, Says One
Time Manager

Detroit, Mich - Joe Louis will
live comfortably eff he never pulls
on another glove" according to
John Roxborough his one time
manager. Even if he does not
have title fight this year, his
income tax on his earning and
investments will total about $751;
900. "And we plan to make that
with another South American tour.
Bill Edgar, Detroit newspaper
man who was in charge of the
Golden Glove tournament in Chic
ago when Joe got his start, and
who has been close to Joe and his
managers since, put the question
of Louis financial condition up
to Roxborough after rumors
started flying that the champion
was broke.
In order that the rumOrs might
be dispelled once and for all, Rox-
borough listed the Brown Bomber's
real estate holdings, annuities,
trust funds, connection With an
insurance company and returns
from the Joe Louis punch.
Louis towns two nice apartment
buildings in Chicago" pointed out
Roxborough, zone of them an eight
family building and the other ac-
comodates % families. Aside from
that, he owns a home in Wayne,
|, Mich, now occupied by his bro
Their. The income from them alone
enable a fellow of means to live
in comfort.
"He's got two paid-up annuties
in fact, they were to start paying
off last year when Joe was 80
but we had them changed to pay
off when he is 40 years old: If
he was broke and needed money
badly, would he have held up the
return from his annuities !? And
when they do start to pay, Joe
will receive 5000 month for the
rest of his life.
He also has set up a trust fund
for his mother. Out of that she
gets 5000 a month for her life. He
also set up trust fund for his
daughter, Jacqueline, to take care
of her education and other needs.
''He is an officer of the Super
ior Life Insurance Company, and,
after he retires from the ring, Joe
can have an office there. He pos
sibly will head one of the depart
ments at a nice salary.
@Then there is the Joe Louis
punch, the new sole drink just on
the market. We already have some
60 outlets and expects to boost
this number to at least 5000 by
the end of the year. Joe's return
from that is such that he alreadp
has been offered $4,000 a year for
his share. He didn' sell however.
And his book recently published,
| is bringing in a nice return. So,
add those things up - and you will
see that Joe is pretty well set -
if he never pulls on another
gloce-.

City Of GreenviIIe May Be Named In
S500,000 Lynch Case; Lynchers
Facing Federal Action

New York, N. Y Law suits total
ing 100000 may be filed soon by
Mrs. Tessie Earl against the city
of Greenvinne, S. c., and the %
self confessed lynchers of her son,
% year old Willie Earle, accord
ingto Herbert c. Cooke, national
executive chairan of the National
Negro Day Committee.
Cook revealed Mrs. Earle's plan
on the ground it neglected to safe
guard her son from the lynchers
while he was in jail, and the$25O,
600 damage suit against the % de-
fendents acquitted of the rhine a
fortnight ago, during Madison
Square program, sponsored by the
committee, at which the lynch vic
TINS mother was INTRODUCED to an
audiene of more than 10000 per-
sons.
Both Cook anr Arhibald Palmer,
attorney for the committee said
the organization woul raise funds
for the court actions and that any
money recovered would be turned
over to Negro educational socie-
ties in the south. Earle was lynch
ed after being arrested ror the
fatal stabbing Of white taxicab
driver.
The lynchers appeared to be
faced with further trouble when it
was authoritatively reported in
Westinghouse week that Attor-
ney General Tom Clark, had de-
cided to bring the lynchers to trial
in the United States Court.
While the lynhers could not be
tried again for the lynch murder
of Earle it was pointed out that
they could be tried in the United
States Court for violation of the
Gill rigts of their victim nder Sec
ton 51-52 of the United States
Civil Rights Code.
The department of justice was
expted to order the arrest Of the
Iynchers within the next ten days
in preparation or the trial, accord
ing to Washington reports.
Observers here sadi that while
the penalty under the federal sta
tute would be right there was a
good chance Of a conviction be-
cause of the higher type of Jurors
and the procedure of the federol
court.

freed by an all white jury in the
trial which followed the crime.
