the Union OF South Africa, where
they viii supervise the work of
the AME church in Capetown for
the coming two years.

cause the Jodrans were not per-
mitted 10 enter the Union.
In January, 1854, they were

mittance for two years came as a

much needed and helpful message
of these days taken from the 18th
chapter of Hebrew, 9Th verse, sub
iect, Prayer and the Power OF

strength TO the struggling soul

curb Negro rights. Two southern
states voted TO keep Negroes out
Of white schools and a third voted
to curtail Negro voting.
The big issue in Georgia was a
constitutional amendment permit
ting the legislature TO abolish the
public school system rather than
end segregation. The issue passed
by a sizeable margin. Louisiana
voted almost to for an amend
ment permitting the state TO In
woke police powers TO maintain
segregation in public schools.
The police power amendment is
expected TO provoke a legal fight
since the 14th amendment to the
u. s. Constitution guarantees
equal protection Of the law. The
Supreme court has ruled against
using the police power in a coming
case, but has never applied it In
relation TO schools.
Mississippians approved over
whelmingly lat least 1910 a con
stitutional amendment setting up
new voter qualifications.
When the amendment was de
bated" in the general assembly, IL
was frankly labeled as move to
curb Negro voting. Out of 100000
Negroes in the state. only $1,000
are registered voters.
The voter amendment requires
applicants apply in writing and
10 be able 10 read. write and inter
pref the state constitution TO the
satisfaction OF the registrar.
in broad sense, II might be
said that the Negro vote failed TO
deliver for the Republicans. With
the Democrats firmly In power In
the house and In apparent control
OF the senate. II looks as though
Republican efforts to capture the
Negro vote has failed,
However, as some observers
point out. Republicans might have
Jared worse than they did had II
not been for the Negro vote. But
in the large cities. Negroes con-
tinued to vote as soiidly Demo
cratic as ever.
The underlying irony OF the sit
uation. AS political experts point
out. is that Southerners will con.
troll all major committees In con
gress as result Of the seniority
rule, That Is the standard proceed
ure whenever Democrats get In
the saddle. Southerners are In line
TO take over the top spot OF of
the senate's 10 committees and Is
