Reflections From The Memphis Election The recent election in Memphis, Tennessee would attract more than local attention al this time. Memphis, one of the key strongholds in Negro voter registration, had an, excellent opportunity in making another demonstration of a record turnout in Negro voting. Significant enough, there were Negro candidates in the running which disclosed that in spite of Memphis having an excellent showing in the registration area, there can be some improvement in the turn out of the vote. The top Negro candidate, Russell B. Sugarmon, Jr., received enough votes to win past elections, but this time the mass turnout of whites snowed him under. However, it is commendable that he ran second in the five-man race for Public Works Commissioner He polled 35,268 votes to his winning opponent's 58,964. Another Negro candidate, Atty. L. Hooks had been consider a fair chance to win the race for juvenile court judge. He finished second to his winning opponent. Here is food for thought as well as attendant warning to those who would win in elections where there is mass effort on the part of those whose only option is to defeat Negro candidates. The proportions in which ratios spell out the outturn of voters in contrast to the total registration, must not be over looked. Negro candidates success depends largely, upon having a heavy registration. A heavy registration enhances the opportunity of winning in such elections as we witnessed in these, areas where masses of white voters would turn out just to defeat a Negro candidate. The awakening on the part of white voters would be disclosed in the following notations: A total of 130,276 votes was cast, this time, shattering the previous record of 86,370 counted in the 1955 city election. Of the registered, 57,109 Negroes, an estimated 62 per cent. This is a low percentage of the potential vote. As said before, there must be an increase in voter registration; this yardstick would spell out more handsomely the assurance of the success of Negro candidates who must swamp under a racial bloc-voting turnout of while voters for the mere purpose of defeating Negro candidates. The answer is, first more voters and second, a higher percentage of the potential voters actually going lo the polls. The Right To Vote In Tuskegee The outrageous effort to prevent Negroes in Macon County, Alabama, from voting has taken a new turn. The county had no voter registration board from last December Until a week or two ago. Finally, Gov. Patterson appointed a new board. Its three members first found they were too busy with their private affairs to perform their public duties and then all three decided to resign. Six-sevenths of the citizens of Macon County are Negroes. Tuskegee, the county sect, is the home of the famous college for Negroes founded by Booker Washington. Any educational test for voting, no matter how rigorous, if fairly applied, would probably result in enfranchising more Negroes than whites in the county. That is, of course, the real, though unstated reason for the long series of maneuvers and dodges by which the registration of Negroes, has been prevented. We have called this behavior outrageous, as of course it is to anyone who believes in the equality of men before the law, but there's more to be said about it than that. The incident establishes that the most frequently heard of the socalled constitutional arguments against the decisions of the Supreme Court in the segregation cases is sheer pettifoggery. Hundreds of southern politicians and editors have persistently misled their followers by proclaiming that, for lack of an appropriate act of Congress, the courts had no right to hear the appeal of the Negroes against segregation in the schools. This contention rests upon the last clause of the 14th Amendment which says, "The Congress shall have power to enforce by appropriate legislation the provisions of this article. These, words are taken by the pettifoggers to mean that only Congress has the power to enforce a provision of the 14th Amendment. Anyone who is acquainted with the historical circumstances in which the amendment was adopted will hardly doubt that the actual meaning is that if a state does discriminate against Negro citizens and if the President and the courts fail to protect the Negroes' rights, Congress may do whatever it deems needful by way of correction. At any rate, whether this is what the words were intended to mean or not, there is no doubt at all that in the last three-quarters of a century the courts have invalidated scores of state laws because they violated one or another provision of the 14th Amendment, usually having nothing at all to do with race relations. No acts of Congress were deemed necessary to permit the courts to interpret the 14th Amendment and it was only after the segregation decision that the supposed need for congressional action was discovered. And now, in the news from Tuskegee, we have further evidence of pettifogging. The right of the Negroes of Macon County to qualify as voters is stated in the 15th Amendment. it says that no state may deprive Negroes of the right to vote. it concludes with the phrase, "The Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." The words are all but identical with those in the 14th Amendment end the meaning is indistinguishable. Well, Congress, in this instance, did enact appropriate legislation only last year. It set up a commission to investigate the voting rights of Negroes in the southern states, and one of the place studied by this com mission was Macon. County, Alabama, where, despite the congressional grant of authority, the local authorities made things just as difficult as they knew how for the investigators. Another place studied by the commission was northern Louisiana. Subpenas under authority of Congress were issued for voting records, but the records have not been forthcoming A week or so ago a lawyer acting on behalf of 17 northern Louisiana registrars filed suit in federal court to keep the papers out of the hands of the commission. The point, of course,, is- that it-really doesn't make any difference to those who wish to deprive the Negroes of their rights whether Congress has or has not issued a specific mandate. All that these zealots are intent upon is depriving their Negro fellow citizens of the rights that go with citizenship The rest is just hypocritical rationalizing. Dillard Ousted man's 35248.

"The Committee on Leaders and specialists of the American Counoil of Education has sent to Highlander representatives from such countries, as: "Laos, Ghana, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, West Germany. Belgium, Denmark, France, Japan, and this year, Liberia. Mrs. Florence Eudora Ricks-Bing head teacher, elementary division of She Since Government School of Liberia, is coming on September 14th to observe our methods and techniques in adult education. In addition we will have with us representatives of religious, charitable, and educational organizations." Highlander is part of a world wide movement for education education ... for responsible citizenship in a democracy. In the Unit, ed States alone there are nearly 15,000.000 enrolled in various, adult programs. The primary activity of Highlander, nearly 90 percent of its of forts, consists of residential workshops" such as the one on "The Citizenship School" idea which, will be held on Labor Day weekend. The participants will share the experiences and problems of how best to serve their respective communities. Highlander has no special creed no program of wholesale reform, no political affiliation right or left. Highlander is independent of all political and ideological ties. It is simply all meeting-place for adults of all races on such subjects as education, citizenship, health, social sen ices and community welfare. The procedures are democratic and constitutional; Civil Rights, Civil People And A Civil Society In other days there will come those who will read in old scripts and news papers of the advent of the struggle for civil rights for the sole benefit of a civil society. By that time it may well be established that no one group can rise while the other sinks, and that if any man keeps' another man in the ditch he will have to remain there with him. They will then wonder why a certain segment of lawmakers "representing" millions of unrepresented people always stood lip and boasted as being opposed to civil rights. On the other hand, many of them will discern "from the shores dimly seen," those politicians from other sections, aiding and abetting for a payoff, in casting their support and influence to this wilful group, needing most of all civil rights for these underprivileged and unrepresented subjects they profess to Represent. The news now comes after the trading in of the labor bill, that a threat of a long filibuster would ensue if and when a "tough" civil rights bill was introduced. This threat probably puts an end to [his civil rights legislation for the time being. No community or people can boast of freedom when any segment of its population is restricted in its circulation in o free society; that no place is immune from contagious diseases with one group cut off from the sources of fresh air and medical care. Our civil rights progression seems stalled for this session while other legislation is being passed. Verify, civil rights must obtain for a civil people if ever we are to enjoy a civil society. The Democratic majority in the Congrats will have a lot of explaining between now and election time. NOT BY GUNS ALONE BY E.M. Barker CHAPTER 25 THE BULL circled the little pine tree, eying it warily as if he thought it a live antagonist. Martha's leg's were only inches above his great head, but she was afraid to climb higher for fear the slender pine would break with her weight. For a moment the bull paused to throw up a cloud of black dirt, then Martha saw his shoulder muscles bunch as his head swung heavily at the tree. She tightened her desperate hold and shut her eyes. The bony hardness between the bull's horns struck the tree trunk below her so hard that the pine sapling swayed and swirled. Martha felt rather than heard the slender trunk against her chest creak once as if it were about to break, but she didn't dare lower herself any farther. She wondered how much of this ponderous bumping the tree would stand. She wondered too if Jim Ned would be back in time to save her. Down near the creek she could see her horse now. He had turned and was grazing back closer to the spot where she had left him. Suddenly she saw him throw up his head, then after a moment he nickered. Martha thought she heard an answering nicker from farther up the ridge. Her knees went a little weak from relief. Below her the bull was circling the little pine surlily, almost as if it were another bull he was maneuvering to attack. The girl opened her mouth to yell, but for a moment it was like the paralyzing fear of a bad dream. Her throat muscles tightened but no sound came. She tried again. "Jim Ned!" Her call was faint and husky, but at least it was a noise. The bull stopped to stare up at her. Martha felt encouraged. She called again. "Jim Ned!" This time her voice rang true and clear. From up on the ridge above her a voice answered, and then a moment later a rider came out of the fringe of aspen and pines, his hurried horse half sliding, half joggling down the hill. Instead of Jim Ned it was Slade Considine. The bull turned his great head and watched the man on horseback for a moment, then slowly and purposefully, with a low, steady rumbling in his throat, he started up the hill. The bull is a naturally lordly and arrogant creature, but usually discreet enough not to go out of his way to pick trouble with man either afoot or on horseback. But for untold generations this roan's ancestors had fought both man and horses In the bull ring, and his own recent defeat had made him too mad to fear man or devil. Martha saw the glint of sun on Slade's sixgun as it cleared the holster. The gun cracked, but there was a roaring sound in Martha's ear so that it sounded like the report of a child's toy pistol. The bull staggered, went down to his knees, kicked convulsively with his hind legs, then rolled entirely over, and down the hill a few feet, his huge body finally coming to rest against a small pine. Martha sucked in a long sobbing breath of relief, and started to climb down from the tree, moving slowly, for the muscles of her knees and arms felt weak and strange. Slade Considine caught her as she swung down from the last limb. For that first long moment she leaned against him he was simply a haven of security and comfort. Then, as strength returned to her, there came an awareness of whose shoulder wag cradling her head. She knew now why she had been so disappointed when he didn't come to the dance in Barrancas the other night as he had promised. She knew too why she had turned sick with jealousy when she saw him kissing another girl in the hotel lobby. Down deep in her heart, fight against it as she would, she had known how strong and yet how gentle his arms could be. She had known what heaven it would be to have him how her like this. Yet through the happiness that quickened her heartbeat, there was a bitter core of reason down deep inside her that reminded her she couldn't let herself fall in love with Slade Considine! She raised her head, and at her little pull of withdrawal he dropped his arms instantly. A wave of warm, sweet color flooded the girl's cheeks. "Why didn't you come to the dance?" she asked him softly. She saw the surprise that came Into his eyes at the abrupt change of subject "You missed me?" Such a question was certainly sticking his neck out if she had wanted to punish him. She didn't. "Of course. Yon promised to come. Wynn said you were afraid —but—but I don't believe that." "I wanted to," he told her gravely, "but I have a job to do. It seems to me a mighty important job—trying to make the folks in the Chupaderos respect the Forest Service and every thing it stands for. I had some trouble with some of the natives in Barrancas last Saturday morning. I figured I didn't have any business forcing myself in on their party—and I wouldn't have been welcome you can call it being afraid if you want to." Martha shook her head, "I don't" She turned her eyes away so that he could not read what was in them. Her gaze fell on her grazing horse with the slicker bundle containing the T Anchor branding Iron tied on behind the saddle. Vague, uneasiness stirred in her heart. "I wonder what is keeping Jim Ned so long? He said he would meet me here in an hour, and I'm sure it has been a lot longer than that." Slade's eyes sharpened. "Where did he go?" "Up Escabrosa Creek. To the Valle Media I started with him, then—" She broke off abruptly, wondering just how much a he ought to tell him. "Go on," Slade urged her quietly. She looked at him, trouble in her dark eyes. "Granny would probably say it was giving aid and comfort to the enemy." Slade put his hands on her Shoulders. "Listen. Martha. I'm trying hard not to be anyone's enemy. The Forest Service is not on anybody's side. It is in the middle—and we are doing our darndest to be fair to everyone." Martha nodded soberly. "I know. That is not what I mean. I don't know much about this country yet I haven't been told about ail the old grievances—and debts. Granny pretends she hates you and your uncle. She pretends She thinks you and Frenchy Quebedeaux have been rustling cattle. But she doesn't really think that. I think in her heart she knows who is guilty. But why should She be protecting him? What does she owe him?" There was a funny look on Slade's face. He picked up the girl's left hand and looked at it "You're not wearing Wynn Thomason's ring, Martha." The girl's face flushed. "No" she said sharply. Then she gasped. "Slade you don't think that is the reason? I wonder—no! it couldn't be!" She smiled a little and shook her head. "Granny's not like that She would be more apt to lock me in my room and feed me bread and water until" I came to my senses, but she wouldn't protect a man on my account!"

KNOW YOUR LIBRARY by MAUDDEAN THOMPSON SEWARD "There is that near you which will guide you; O wait for it, and be sure you keep it." "Ostriches never fly; fowls fly, but heavily, low down and seldom but eagles, doves, and swallows fly often, swiftly and on high." Once more Francis de Sales is contrasting the drowsy ones, the goal ones and the devout ones Of all the Practices that serve to arouse this spiritual nimbleness and swiftness and vivacity of devotion, none is so central as the practice of private prayer. In fact, this spiritual practice of private prayer. Of course the practice in itself is an act of devotion. For the great Christian men and women of prayer have always looked upon prayer as a response to the ceaseless outpouring love and concern with which God lays siege to every soul. prayer Air them is a response to the prior love of God. Nearly a thousand, years ago Bernard of Clairvaux gave a matchless word on this in a his to religious brotherhood "Do you awake? Well, He too is awake. If you rise in the nighttime if you anticipate to your utmost your earliest awaking, you will already find Him waking— you will never anticipate. His own ewakeness. In such an intercourse you will always be rash if you at tribute any priority and predominant share to yourself for He loves both mare than you, and before you love at all." The prayer of devotion is a response, a reply, the only appropriate reply that a man or a woman could make who had been made aware of the love at the heart of things, the love that environed them, mat that rallied them, that wearied out evil and indifference by its patient joy . . . Prayer then is simply a form of waking up out of the dull sleep in which our We has been spent in half - intentions, half-resolutions, half-creations, half-loyalties and a becoming actively aware of the real character of that which we are and of that which we are over against ...we should in ourselves learn and perceive who we are, how and what our life is, what God is and is doing in us.... Call by your library and get Prayer and Worship." Steers. The furor of on election campaign behind them, Atty. Russell B. Sugarmon, Jr., defeated in his bid to gain the position of commissioner of public works, and his pretty wife, town Friday with friends for a week's vacation. "We haven't slept in two nights," Mrs. Sugarmon said before leaving. "But it has been a most pleasant experience, and we have met a lot people we never would have bad the opportunity to meet." Atty. Sugarmon, in commenting on his defeat, apparently echoed the feeling of the other members of the "Volunteer Ticket" when he said that if this area is to progress, it must give all of its citizens a chance to develop. Sugarmon was apparently considered most qualified, by Memphis' educated white and Negro citizens, but many, of the white educated group called, for his defeat because of bis race and demanded that the whites vote against him. Most of them did just that, and singleshot voted William W. Farris into office. Atty. Ben Hooks, who tried to become juvenile court judge, said he was happy with the support received and "enthusiasm manifested." "We shall build a foundation for a better tomorrow," Atty. Hooks said. "We must immediately begin a campaign to register more voters and an educational campaign designed to familiarize bur voters on the technique and necessity of voting." Atty. Hooks said he was "grateful" for the effort of his workers. The other candidates also expressed their appreciation to their workers, friends, and supporters. Lt. George W. Lee, Memphis' veteran politician who served as chairman of the Volunteer, Ticket said, the defeat of the Negro candidates' "is Just a lull to the Negroes' undaunted struggle for first class citizenship." Lt. Lee said the Negro in this campaign "has demonstrated his ability to arbitrate between white candidates. Mr. Jimmy Moore owes bis election to the solid support which the Negro community has given him. Commissioner Stanley Dillard can "ascribe his defeat to his ringing cry, "I'm a segregationist." Dillard, under fire from Negro and white leaders because of the "pathetic condition" of some of our hosptals, which come under his department, sad this on his debate: "It looks like Memphis wants integration." Lt. Lee said that Commissioner Dwyer could "certainly ascribe to the Negro population's support the large majority he received over Lewis Taliaferror." "These two distinguished fellow citizens of ours, Mr. Moore and Mr. Dwyer can certainly than the Negro population for looking beyond the frotiers of race and rising to arbitrate between and to determine between to determine the election of white commissioners." There were plenty of Negro "traitors" at the polls, handing out literature of the anti-Negro candidates. They were reportedly paid well, but many loyal Negro citiizens opined, "I don't see how anybody could pay a Negro to turn against his own race." Rev. Henry Bunton candidate for the Board of Education, said he believed the crusade by the "Volunteer Ticket" had its effect for the good, of the city. "I believe the white citizens now realize" that the Negro is determined to have a voice in government, and I believe that they will now try to meet this end," Rev. Bunton said. "As far I am concerned, we should keep up our contention," Rev. Bunton said. "We should maintain the fight to gain our share of public positions so we can render our share of public services. "I am not in favor of the Negro accepting any subordinate role in a position that has merely been created for appeasement," Rev. Bunton continued. Referring to the "Negro scare by the two dally newspapers and the mayor - elect, Henry Loeb," Rev. Bunton said: "They showed their determination to deprive the Negro of his rights just because of his being a Negro, and they got out the white vote to do just that." Said Eliehue Stanback, unsuccessful in his bid to be city tax assessor: 'I'm not going to say I lost until. I go down and check the voting machines, and I intend to do so "this week. I would, however, like to thank the citizens of Memphis for their vote confidence." Rev. Roy Love, who also campaigned for a slot on the Board of Education in 1955 said he thought the crusade a victory because "the Negro in Memphis will never be "complacent again." "This is a great victory instead of a defeat," Rev. Love said. "The Negroes Here in Memphis has not been aroused like this in 100 years in this, town. "It has aroused to the Negro the importance of a sense of cooperation," Dr. Love said. "It shows what can be done and indicate what will be done in the future." "SHALL BUILD FOUNDATION" The furor of on election campaign behind them, Atty. Russell B.

Most of them did just that, and singleshot voted William W. Farris into office. Atty. Ben Hooks, who tried to become juvenile court judge, said he was happy with the support received and "enthusiasm manifested." "We shall build a foundation for a better tomorrow," Atty. Hooks said. "We must immediately begin a campaign to register more voters and an educational campaign designed to familiarize bur voters on the technique and necessity of voting." Atty. Hooks said he was "grateful" for the effort of his workers. The other candidates also expressed their appreciation to their workers, friends, and supporters. Lt. George W. Lee, Memphis' veteran politician who served as chairman of the Volunteer, Ticket said, the defeat of the Negro candidates' "is Just a lull to the Negroes' undaunted struggle for first class citizenship." Lt. Lee said the Negro in this campaign "has demonstrated his ability to arbitrate between white candidates. Mr. Jimmy Moore owes bis election to the solid support which the Negro community has given him. Commissioner Stanley Dillard can "ascribe his defeat to his ringing cry, "I'm a segregationist." Dillard, under fire from Negro and white leaders because of the "pathetic condition" of some of our hosptals, which come under his department, sad this on his debate: "It looks like Memphis wants integration." Lt. Lee said that Commissioner Dwyer could "certainly ascribe to the Negro population's support the large majority he received over Lewis Taliaferror." "These two distinguished fellow citizens of ours, Mr. Moore and Mr. Dwyer can certainly than the Negro population for looking beyond the frotiers of race and rising to arbitrate between and to determine between to determine the election of white commissioners." There were plenty of Negro "traitors" at the polls, handing out literature of the anti-Negro candidates. They were reportedly paid well, but many loyal Negro citiizens opined, "I don't see how anybody could pay a Negro to turn against his own race." Rev. Henry Bunton candidate for the Board of Education, said he believed the crusade by the "Volunteer Ticket" had its effect for the good, of the city. "I believe the white citizens now realize" that the Negro is determined to have a voice in government, and I believe that they will now try to meet this end," Rev. Bunton said. "As far I am concerned, we should keep up our contention," Rev. Bunton said. "We should maintain the fight to gain our share of public positions so we can render our share of public services. "I am not in favor of the Negro accepting any subordinate role in a position that has merely been created for appeasement," Rev. Bunton continued. Referring to the "Negro scare by the two dally newspapers and the mayor - elect, Henry Loeb," Rev. Bunton said: "They showed their determination to deprive the Negro of his rights just because of his being a Negro, and they got out the white vote to do just that." Said Eliehue Stanback, unsuccessful in his bid to be city tax assessor: 'I'm not going to say I lost until. I go down and check the voting machines, and I intend to do so "this week. I would, however, like to thank the citizens of Memphis for their vote confidence." Rev. Roy Love, who also campaigned for a slot on the Board of Education in 1955 said he thought the crusade a victory because "the Negro in Memphis will never be "complacent again." "This is a great victory instead of a defeat," Rev. Love said. "The Negroes Here in Memphis has not been aroused like this in 100 years in this, town. "It has aroused to the Negro the importance of a sense of cooperation," Dr. Love said. "It shows what can be done and indicate what will be done in the future." "JUST A LULL" The furor of on election campaign behind them, Atty. Russell B. Sugarmon, Jr., defeated in his bid to gain the position of commissioner of public works, and his pretty wife, town Friday with friends for a week's vacation. "We haven't slept in two nights," Mrs. Sugarmon said before leaving. "But it has been a most pleasant experience, and we have met a lot people we never would have bad the opportunity to meet." Atty.

HUNT PASTOR MISSISSIPPI BLVD. CHRISTIAN CHURCH Mark 6:31 The summer is upon us Most of us at this time of the year are looking forward to a vacation. . . A period of rest. We need a vacation that we may rest. One of the ministries of summer is "come ye apart, and rest awhile." Jesus the Christ know His disciples needed a vacation, when He walked the earth in flesh He said "come ye yourselves flesh He said rest awhile." Jesus, disciples had flung themselves heart and soul in thair work, they had truly earned a vacation. There are employers who never awake to the fact that employees need rest, a vacation, There are husbands who never seem to notice that their wives would be better for a Vacation a rest from the pots pans, skillets and myriad household duties. Jesus saw that His disciples were exhausted, tired out. Jesus disciples had richly earned a vacation and with Jesus everything must sues til they had it. Whole hearted work deserves a whole hearted Vacation. The rest to which the disciples were invited was a rest in the fellowship or nature. "Come ye apart into a desert place" was not an invitation to a place like the desert Sahara, not to a rocky barren place. It mas a desert because it was deserted of the teeming crowdsof people. No doubt it was a place of beauty, and the sunshine of heaven slept upon hills around them. And over, head were the fleecy clouds, and far off there was the shimmer of the seas. All around they could see God's foot prints. It may not be cure to travel for from home but what about that backyard of yours there too one may fellowship with nature, nature which is but a manifestation of God... foot prints of God. The rest to which Jesus invited His disciples was a rest to which Jesus shared. Jesus did not say ye apart." When the disciples has their vacation, Jesus was their vacation Companion. None thought that he would spoil their vacation. There are people whose one aim upon a vacation is leave Christ behind. They never Waive their fishing rods, check boards, balls, bats and card tables at home but they often leave their religion and Jesus at home. Take Jesus with you when you go on a vacation. Then you'll have the happiest vacation of your life. your vacation with Jesus as your companion will Fit you for further and batter service. The invitation did not read "come ye apart and rest forever"; it read, "come ye apart and rest awhile." God grant to all of us a time of rest that will make us barter When September comes. Rest is a great gift. Said Jesus in Matt, 11:28: "I will give you rest." Weary in brain; weary in body and weary in heart what a blearing to set away from the strain and worry if only for a short season. The rest to which Jesus calls us gives strength for life's burdens It gives quiet in the heart of the storm and peace in a tired life. It brings us into constant fellowship with that heart that was meek and lowly, and there is true rest "Come unto Me and I will give you rest." YOUR SUMMER VACATION By REV. BLAIR T.
