has come for the Negro to exercise
the right to vote. He said that
neither education, wealth nor any.
thing else means as much to the
Negro as the right to vote. Civil

the very essence of civil rights in
the ballot.

Another Georgia
Disgrace
(From the New York Herald
Tribune)

Georgia is again in disgrace. The
fragrant incident at Irwinton,
where a Negro was taken out OF
jail and shot to death is only too
familiar in detail. TIL eface that
the crime of lynching is almost at
the point of disappearance makes
the Georgia occurrence all the moro
shocking. Last year there were,
by Tuskegee Institutes statistics,
only two lynchings in the entire
country. Both, significantly enough
were in Georgia, where white su-
premacy is a deliberate rallying
cry for political advancement. This
is the state where a ragtail Yer
sion of the Ku Klux Khan has
again come to life, ney and more
subtle Talmadge is Governor, and
disturbing pattern of racial viol
ence is developing. tt is state
of violent contrasts. The prejud.
ices of the forks of the creek &C.
count for lynchings, although at
lanta refused to be upset by the
professional appearance of Jack
lie Robinson and more recently for
babe parades by masked Night.
shirts. But the recent monopoly
on lynchings is the focal point.
The Talmadge brand of progress,
for all it's intelligent Efforts to make
Georgia a better state, is devot-
ed to white supremacy. Governor
Herman Talmadg was elected on
that platform, and he has moved
fast and shrepdly toward establish
ing political dynasty on this re-
prehensible basis. Elsewhere the
Negro is gaining the vote, and max.
ing himself heard The whitepri.
mary has been abolished, thanks
to the courts; the poll tax is gen.
orally fading; Negroes are being
elected to city councils, boards OF
education and SO on. But in Geor.
gia the right to the ballot is being
constrated, not expanded. By ELI
minating the voters lists and re.
quiring all to register anew, most
of the 10000 Negro voters will
be dropped somewhere along the
line. The prospective voter is be.

ly to a statutory list of effectively
discourages the Negro, and the
Talmadge organization makes no
bones about it.
The affair in the Irwinton jail
was unspeakably crude by compar-
ison, but equally callous. Both are
the denial of effect is the same.
One encourages the other; the coin
cidence is inevitable. Georgia has
gone backward.

Miss. Negro Family
Rises From
Sharecroppers To
Farm Owners In
Nine Years

Monticello, Miss. Starting
from scratch as sharecroppers in
1910, Mr.. and Mrs. Jack Davis
are now owners of an 111-acre
farm which they purchased with
a forty-year loan from the Farm
ers Home Administration, &C.
cording to James H. Carr, Coun-
ty Supervisor.
1t includes a new home and
outbuildings at cost of $4,000.
At the same time the family used
additional loan funds to purchase
eight milk cows, pressure cook
er and 100 baby chicks. With
the assistance of Farmers House
personnel a complete farm and
home plan was developed to guide
the Davis family in carrying out
their farm and home operations.
INCREASED MILK
PRODUCTION.
An Immediate supplementary
income was realized fro mthe sale
of milk and eggs. Prior to this
time they had never received farm
income from any source other
than cotton. By utilizing good
farming practices and soil saving
measures they increased milk pro-
duction and cotton yields to the
point where they were able to
pay off the entire operating loan
in 1914 and their farm owner
strip in 1913.
Since receiving their initial op
Grating loan they have been able
to carry on their enterprises
themselves without further assis-
lance from any lending agency.
Mrs. Davis has canned an avn
erage of 400 quarts of food an
nually since the family obtained
the farm. They point with pride
to the well balanced live-at-home
program which they have adopted.
They have also established a good
orchard.
LEADERS IN COMMUNITY
In addition to becoming good
farmers Mr.. and Mrs. Davis par
ticipate in many community and
civic activities. Their two chill
dren have finished high school
and plans are being made to
send them to college next fall
By use of artificial dissemination
Jack Davis is developing one of
the finest dairy herds in his area.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Davis feel
that without the assistance of the
loans and guidance made avail
able by the Farmers Home Ad-
ministration they would not have
been able to achieve this success.

GOD GETS NO GLORY
OUT OF SIN

Where is the God that is in this
Land,
Since sin has taken the day,
There are only few hearts here
and there,
That God has not taken away.
The Lord said this World would
be destroyed,
By fire he said the next time
Sin has taken apart in Gods
House,
And claiming Gods House is
mine.
The old Christian are sleeping in
the grave,
Once lifted Christ up before
men,
They did not take the world in
Gods House
And fill it up with sin.
They knew their God in departing
of their sins,
When he heard their humble cry,
Lord give us Eternal rest some
day.
Around the thorn of Heaven on
high.
Some young people claim they
are not,
1t seems like the young are the
one,
Trying to add and take away
from Gods word,
And yet his will is not done.
watch every race as I go on,
We have too many teachers I'll
say all along
That are misleading the people,
And don't know right from
wrong.
! Good common sense,
Is the thing we all need,
Education without common sense,
Your hearts are going to bleed.
Jesus program gave his life to
redeem,
A world was lost full of sin
you see,
He shed his bloc don the cross
1t was for you and for me.
Will the people believe Jesus
today,
Obey his program in every way,
And help to keep our young race,
From going astray-Amen.

VOTERS OF GEORGIA
TURN DOWN DREAM
PLAN FOR SCHOOLS

ATLANTA, April 6-IR- Georgia
voters yesterday sharply defeated
o SAC, o0o,OOo dream plan to i'm
prove schools. hospitals and other
state services.
With all the big precints counted,
the margin in the unusual refer
cndum stood today at 1924
against the expansion plan and
6l,399 for it.
The question was whether to ask
the legislature to enact new taxes
for long-talked reforms - more
teachers, letter teacher salaries,
new school buildings, improved
mental and tuberculosis hospitals,
Better rural roads, and expanded
welfare rolls.
BY the resounding mo- vote,
Georgia remained approximately
fourth from the bottom among the
states in school funds per child.
The program set aside s23o0o,c0o
for education, SO percent increase.
1t would have hiksd the overall.
tax bill 40 percent.
