the second week in February.
Eighty-one Negro leaders from
all parts of the state took part in
the workshops that were held at
the Pratt's Memorial Church. Five
of the thirty-two people scheduled
to conduct the panels sent tele-
grams and letters expressing their
wishes for the success of the meet.
ing. The others were on hand.
It was pointed out in the work
shops, that with every privilege
goes a corresponding responsible
ity. 1t is the responsibility Of
Negro leadership to inspire all
Negroes to accept tht responsible
ity. Politics enters our every day
living and we must understand and
work in the processes of it. "How
to get every eligible Negro regis
tered" received most of the atten-
ton. The following resolution
committee that was appointed at
Pratt's made its report at the mass
meeting at the college park audi
forum. Mr.. B. L. Robinson, Stark
vile. chairman; Mr.. James A.
White, Jackson, secretary; DR.. T.

Resolution
Whereas, there is grave concern
among the Negro citizens of the
state of Mississippi over the con-
stitutional amendment passed in
the November election of 1854, to
make it more difficult or impossible
for citizens to register, and where
as we believe that this amendment
IS aimed at preventing Negro cit
liens from registering, and we
further believe that this amend
ment is in direct conflict with the
18th amendment of the United
States of America; now be it re-
solved that the Mississippi Pro-
gressive Voters League spearhead
a movement among the Negroes of
the state of Mississippi to raise
fund Of S100,OOO.OO to take this
constitutional amendment into the
courts Of the nation and test its
legality.
Whereas, we recognize need
for a finance committee to work
out details of raising this fund
Of S1OO,OOO.O0 we recommend that
the heads of all Negro organiza-
tons in the state of Mississippi be
invited to become a part Of this
committee.
Whereas, we recognize that the
greatest organized force among us
IS tne cnurch, we recommend that
the ministers of the gospel and the
church officials be asked to COOP
crate with US in this movement.
and we, further recommend that
the month Of March be declared
Freedom Month" for all Negroes
IN the state of Mississippi, and
that each church in the state give
one service during the month to
raising money to be donated to this
$100,0O0.0O fund.
The magnificent address deliv
cred by DR.. T. R. M. Howard was
a fitting climax to the conference.
He discussed the efforts of state
officials to have Negroes accept
voluntary segregation. "When
that failed an extra session of the
legislature was called to propose
an amendment to abolish public
schools. At the same time the
citizens committees were organized
to intimidate Negroes who advo-

but this years high of SO degrees
tied a record for March which was
set back in 1904, according to

the stage and the mercury dropped
to a low of SO degrees the same
night. This was accompanied by
thunder and hail.
The heavy rainfall which reached
2.22 inches last Friday not only
swelled streams to overflowing and
flooded many Easements in the COM

recorded since October 8, 1850. On
that date 3.31 inches of rain was re-
