JACKSON, Miss, Sept. -
(DSN) - A statewide check of
centers of Negro voting revealed
no intimidation of, nor violences
towards Negro voters anywhere in
the state during the second pri-
mary voting on August 28th, de-
spite the fact that the "Negro Is

of the hottest contests in the poll,
teal history Of the state.
AS a result of the voting former
Governor Hugh White, of Column
bia won the state Governorship
over his youthful opponent, Paul
B. Johnson, of Hattiesburg, the son
of a former Governor of the state.
In an official counting of the
votes a subcommittee of the State
Democratic Executive Committee
fixed the Hugh White majority as
slightly more than 5000 votes.

The saddest and most pathetic
aspect of the situation as pointed

which is the worst in the world
today, as part of the Government

backed by the Dutch Reformed
Church.
Last week, according to the
story, all Dutch Reformed Church

Africa's $4,000 policemen who's
main job is that of keeping the
native Africans under a rigid and

Sweet Revenge
BY William Henry Huff for AMP

Cuba can produce no sugar
That is sweet as sweet revenge
Nor can honey bees make honey
That can equal it in tinge
When someone without just reason
Steps upon your corny toes,
Then you meet him in due season
And return the stinging blows.
All, what joy comes to your bosom
When you see him duck and cringe
From the punches you are landing
There is sweetness in revenge!

profound that, in all the years he
was with the school, only seven
students were able to understand his
lectures! That professor wasn't
brilliant-he was incredibly stupid.
He should have been kicked out on
the seat of his academic gown, and
his mortar board cap tossed after
him.
Now the moral to today's column
is borrowed from the words of a
very wise man-St. Augustinus-
"It were better to be reproved by
the pedants than not to be under
stood by the people"
And that, in a nutshell, Is the
secret of good writing. And I recon-
mend it to English students, jour-
nalistic students, professors, writers
of dictionaries and school text
books, businessmen, clubwomen, oc-
cupants of the White House,
.denizens of the State Department,
to lawyers and lawmakers, bureau
Gratis and Congressman.

French writer, summed it all up in

ing: First, clarity. Second, clarity.

Evening star., 1951-02-21
A Little Lesson on Good Writing.

The first requirement for good
writing is clarity. Good writing
does not consist Of lot of six
cylinder words strung together in
high-sounding phrases. Good writ
ing is having something to say, and
saying it so simply that ones
readers will understand.
One seldom sees good writing in
lawyers announcements, in Gov
ernment bulletins, in political
speeches, in the wording of laws,
ordinances, and other legal docu-
ments, in business letters, in die
tionary definitions.
The newspaper man and the ad-
vertising man come closer to turn
ing out good writing than any
other group of craftsmen. The re-
porter is trained in factual re-
porting-to tell a story so clearly
that it can be understood by the
great masses of newspaper readers
He uses simple, colloquial words;
his sentences are short and to the
point; his figures of speech are
familiar; he writes to inform, not
to impress, his readers.
The advertising man must have
not only the reporters skill, his
writing must also be persuasive
his writings must arouse interest,
create desire, and move the reader
to action.
Neither the reporter nor the ad-
vertising man can afford to engage
in the academic profundities of the
professors, the learned obscurities
Of the textbooks, the scholarly
composites of the dictionaries, nor
the gobbledygook of the lawyer, the
statesman and the bureaucrat.
OF course, not all reporting and
advertising is good writing; but the
average is very high, comparatively
speaking, for there is very little
future in the newspaper and ad-I
vertising businesses for the writer
who is slipshod, uninteresting or
bombastic.
