pushed out unfairly. Jacobs will
not be among those. Mike "died"
in boxing the way he lived. He
pushed others out and when his
usefulness was outlived he was
given the treatment he gave SO
often to others.
AS a business man Jacobs was
ruthless and cruel. There are

With +hic thinking.
But one thing we must say Tor

South Carolina
Democrats Win
Another Round

Richmond Va. May % - South
Carolina Democrats lost another
round in their battle to keep Ne
groes out fo the party last Tues
day, when the Fourth Circuit
Court of Appeals at Richmond, Va.
upheld unanimously the perma-
nent injunction issued by u. S.
District Court Judge J. Warning
last November, in the case of
Davis Brown of Beaufort, who had
sued all state party officials fol-
lowing purging of his name from
enrolment books at Beaufort last
summer.
The Circuit Court Judge had
heard arguments for and against
the Brown ruling several weeks
ago as party leaders acted to
move the case to the u. S. Su'
preme Court, which had refused
to reverse the Elmore ruling last
year.
Party spokesman said that an
attempt at appeal will again be
made, in accordance with orders
of officials some time ago.
FULL PARTY RIGHTS
Judge Waring made permanent
in November his last summer tenn
porary order, forbidding officials
from allowing Whites privileges
of enrolling and membership not
available to Negroes.
Bitter opposition arose to the
jurist's firm position in the case
and his tough handling of party
leaders, who had striven to get
around his ruling in the Elmore
case. There was a short live move
to impeach him.
Attorney Harold R. Boulware of
Columbia and Thurgood Marshall
of the NAACP New York office,
represented Mr.. Brown in the act
ion.

African Chief
Abandons Throne
Rather Than Part
With English Wife
TRIBE BITTERLY OPPOSES
ATTEMPT OF ROYAL HEIR
MARRYING WITHOUT
CONSENT

Capetown, South Africa = Ser
else Khama, chief-designate of
the Bamangwate tribe of the Be-
chuanaland, broke off relations
with his uncle, the Regent Chief
Tshekedi and the tribes council
here last Thursday The regent
chief and council had been try
ing to persuade Khama to give
up his white wife, the former
Miss Ruth Williams of London.
Khama is said to be in touch
with a minority group of the
tribe that is hostile to the pre-
sent regime, in an effort to gain
their support to being his wife
back to Bechunanaland.
The bullabaloo over Khama's
marriage is that he took a wife
without consent of his people.
According to Chief Tshekedi, 1T
is not a question of color bar"
"Had Seretse not been chief
designate he could have married
anyone he wished and brought
her to live among us. Had he
married one of our own people
without the consent of the tribe,
the position would have been
similar"
Just as you white people
have certain constitutional laws
and traditions regarding your
royal family, so have we. A
chief designate can only marry
with the consent of the people,
a bride of their acceptance.
This is not so much because
she becomes a chiefs wife as
because she is the Mother of the
future chief"
Tskekedi said Khama was sent
to Britain because the tribe
thought he would learn something
there that would "help him guide
our progress.
Zone thing is certain, our peo-
pie will not have his wife, and
they have said so finally and
emphatically. If Seretse forces
her into the country, he will
split the people, retard their pro-
gress, and probably cause much
bloodshed."

Nichols Pleads Not
Guilty Of the Muir
der of J.E. Comic
On Arrangement
Last Monday

Lonnie James Nichols entered
the plea of not guilty when ar
ranged before Judge Hugh Gill
espie in the Kinds County Cir
cult Court here Monday, following
a grand jury indictment for the
murder of J. E. Comic, pioneer
Jackson citizen and business man
and nationally known prominent
lay leader of the Christ Holiness
Church.
Judge Gillespie after listening
to Nichols plea of not guilty set
the trial for next Tuesday. Fol
lowing his pleas of not guilty
Veteran Court observers pointed
out if found guilty Nichols now
face almost certain death in the
states portable electric chair.
These observers pointed out that
Nichols best chance of escaping
the chair was to have enter
plea of guilty thereby putting
himself on the mercy of the
court.
In stating that Nichols now
faced almost certain death in the
states portable electric chair it
was also pointed out that if
found guilty he will be guilty
of bottle the crime o fmurder
and robbery with firearms, both
crimes carrying the penalty of
death in the state.
While there was no indication
on the part of lawyers for Nichols
of the basis for the not guilty
plea these facts stand out in
the states case.
The body of Mr.. Comic was
found in West Lynch Street
mill pond more than week
after he became missing. When
the body was found it showed
five bullet wounds in the breast.
His pockets were riffled and all
the money and valuable papers
which he carried were gone. The
car he was driving was missing.
Later the car was found in
Chicago which lead to the arrest
of Nichols in Chicago a few days
later. When arrested Nichols
still had the pistol said to have
been the one used in the crime.
When arrested in Chicago, Mich
OILS admitted the crime, admitted
he drove the car to Chicago and
waived extradiction so. he could
