FEPC: "The FEPC isn't any South
ern issue, or sectional issue. It
goes back to the very heart of our
American system. Now I do not
believe that the free enterprise
system can possibly exist if we are
to have a horde of federal agents
running all over the country, peer
ing over mems shoulders and un-
dertaking to read their minds. Of
course, after all, it is a matter of
thought police, what is in the mans
mind when he hired this individual
rather than the other, or even a
group rather than another group.
I think it will eventually result in
the naturalization of all business
and industry in this country if we
pass a compulsory Jail sentence un-
der FEPC putting man in prison
because he employs one individual
instead of another"

fewer FARMS, MORE MONEY
PICTURE IN RURAL SOUTH

Fewer farms, more farm in
come, higher farm costs and more
Getty" conveniences mark the broad
changes in Southern rural life pic
tured report by the Census Bu-
reau.
The report shows that the states
of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mis-
sissippi, Tennessee and the two
Carolinas lost $4,000 farms between
1910 and 1850.
In that same decade there was
: a decline of $4,000 farm opera
tors living on farms and a re-
duction of 1900 not living on
farms.
The region showed a 209 per
cent rise in the value Of all farm
products sold. In 1910, the total
was 788,8O0,OO0. By 1850, it had
reached $2,400,O0O,O00.
At the same time, costs sky
rocketed. The cost Of farm labor
went from $91, 100000 to 1884,
100000. Feed costs went up 438
per cent, to total of 1928, 100, 900.

MISSISSIPPI NEGRO VOTERS lin
COMING PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
NEGLIGIBLE IN COMPARISON WITH
NEGRO POPULATION OF STATE
Forrest County Circuit Clerk Seen As
Setting Example For Others To Follow
Most Negro State Voters Seen AS
Favoring The Democratic Party

JACKSON, Miss, Oct. 6.-(DS
N-The number of Negro citizens
of Mississippi who will be eligible
to vote in the election for President
and Vice President of the United
States, comes November 4th this
year will be negligible in compai-
son with the Negro population of
the state.
With total Negro population
of nearly one million giving the
state potential of some 350,000
Negro voters, according to the best
estimates not more than $4,000
Negroes in the state will be quail
fled to cast their ballot in the No
vember presidential election.
Negro citizens have been allowed
to pay their poll tax and register,
and thus become qualified to vote
in only few counties in the state.
Even in the few counties where
Negroes have been allowed to quail
ify to vote in fairly large numbers,
the Negro voters have been con-
fined to the large towns and cities
leaving an exceedingly dim picture
Of Negro voting in the rural areas
of the state. AS a matter of fact
the true picture is still one of total
disfranchisement of the Negro cit
liens in the rural areas of the
state.
A look at the voting situation as
it affects the Negro citizens of
Mississippi will reveal that the
poll-tax is very much the lessor
of the stumbling blocks put up to
keep the Negroes of the state from
voting. The fact is that Negro
citizens of the state are now ready,
