CHICAGO - The richest
family in quiet little White
hall, a resort town near
Grand Rapids and Muske-
gon, is the only Negro fam
lily living in the city of
1000.
The fabulous story of
Tom Brightwell in achiev-
ing the prosperous rank it
holds in Whitehall is gra-
phically told in the current
issue of Ebony, Negro pic
ture magazine.
The Brightwell family to-
day owns real estate valued
at $4,000; a filling station,
the only taxi service in the
town; trucking equipment
valued at $4,000; an $780,
900 frozen food storage
locker plan; a grocery store
and a 4-year government
mail route contract which
crosses them over $4,000
for the four years. Altogeth-
err, the properties owned by
the family are valued at
more than $4,000.
When the Brightwells
first came to Whitehall 35
years ago, they were broke.
eve may have had a penny
or two saved up in a piggy
bank" Tom Brightwell, the
75-year-old head of the
family is quoted in Ebony
as saying. "But, we, couldn't
find the piggy bank"
Tom Brightwell's first
Job in Whitehall was a care
taker, but soon he was en-
gagged in raising poultry.
and in doing odd trucking
jobs with a Model T Ford.
Gradually, he expanded by
buying real estate and soon
he was on his way to the
title of richest family in
town."
Key to the Brightwell
success is the determination
by all that if the whole fam
lily worked hard enough,
life would become more Sc
cure. Today, five of Bright

Negro, White Republicans In
Miss. Take Fight To Court

jackson, Miss. - (ANP)
- Open fighting between
Negro and White so-called
Republicans of Mississippi
hit the courts last week
when the Negro group filed
suit against the Whites in
Kinds. Circuit court.
Plaintiffs in the suit led
by Perry Howard are seek
ing by court action to re-
gain their name, the Missis-
sippi Republican party
from the White, formerly
the Independent Republi-
can party. a~oo p"
The Negro faction is pop
ularly called the 'sBlack
and Tan" group, and the
the Whites are termed the
Lilly Whites" T., -
Although the Black and
Tans legally have registered
i'm Mississippi as the Missis-
sippi Republican since 1872,
they lost their name this
year because of a new act
passed by the state legisla-
ture.
This act prohibits any po-
litical group from officially
registering under a name or
any part of a name of a
previously registered party.
This year the Lily Whites
registered with Secretary of
State Heber Ladner under
the name previously used by
Towards group.
BY registering first the
Whites have made it impos-
sible under the states new
law for the Black and Tans
to ever register as Republi-
cans. The plaintiffs also are
seeking to have this law de-
clared unconstitutional.
For years, according to
the plaintiffs, from 1923 UNI
It'll now, the Lily Whites con-
stantly have sought to get
the name, Mississippi Re-
publican party, through
courts and the National Re-
publican party, but have
failed this registration trick.
The Lily Whites claim
their new name from a
regular convention as
sembled, effective from and
after the presidential cleo
ton of Nov. 2, 1948.", Ap-
parently the Whites chang
ed their party's name in
their own convention a n d
then registered under the
new title.

who know Mr.. Clancy; and every
body should; will agree that he
has made not a bad sheriff. lie
made few promises during his
campaign for the office he now
holds; but he has lived up to and
beyond the expectations of those
who voted for him four years ago.
He has appointed Negroes to off
ice and has explained to no one
why he did it. He has simply play
ed ball with all who played the
game with him when he campaign
ed. He has conducted the office Of
sheriff with little or no complaint
and has done a good job for the
county. Il stands to reason that
he will make a good treasurer II
he is elected. There is quiet in

seek. 1t can be recalled that when
he ran four years ago in the last
