I The Talmadgo white supremacy pro gram has started rolling again in Geor gia. Son Herman, true disciple of his late father. Gene, has announced plans by which he expects SO per cent of the Ne gro voters whose names are now on the registration books in the. Peach State to hr disqualified. His cohorts in the legis lature have greeted his plans with en thusiasm. and when the legislature meet? laws will be enacted the avowed pur pose of which is to disfranchise as many Negroes as possible. The laws will be aimed not at those Negroes who have not Gem able to qualify for the ballot, but ni those already registered.

Tamadge’s legislative cronies ha-- raid that the ignorance of the Negro voter; wa indicated by (heir voting in bioe. \\ h ho means of course, is that Negroes vole against their avowed enemies running for office, and it must he plain to all that to do otherwise would he the read proof of ignorance. This argument about bloc voting* is as hoi km as a toy balloon. There was never a sender bloc than the Tai madge wool-hats to whom the elder Tal madgo appealed on an out-and-out anti- Negro plat form. Racism is a blight. It places a premium on injustice, duplicity, insincerity low running and hatred veiled thinly h, pseudo-respectability. If. encourages con tempt of the decencies of. honest men It develops a type of hypoc isy that at tributes high motives for base deeds while admitting at the same time the real goals. America is about to he treated to an other spectacle of the kind that has given Georgia its long-standing unenviable re putation, Upright and justice-loving men everywhere will wonder why such zeal and enthusiasm for keeping ihe Negro down could not have been applied, by the officials of Georgia to solving the re cent lynching in that state. They will discount to 4 ho zero point the pro!ests against outside interference a;, they re fleet that a white business man from Ohio is more responsible than all the govern ment of Georgia for starting, the process of bringing the accused lynchers to jus tice, SOME GROUND EUR HOE I V short time our- it wag .observed v> these columns that down in Alabama a new approach to rape cases involving white males and Negro females seemed to be working out as two white men were sentenced to -15-year terms for rape of two Negro women, The sentence, fol lowed a guilty venTd brought in to an all-white jury which had heard an ap peal from the district attorney for real justice instead of the kind of thing that: usually happens in such cases. Since then an nil-white jury in Tampa, Florida, in twenty minutes found a white man guilty of criminal assault on a col ored woman and the judge sentenced the cuprit to 20 years. This sentence is even more, remarkable, since no charge was made, apparently, that rape actually oc curred. The attention of North Carolina is in vited to these two happenings in t ho Deep South. Now from Georgia comes the news, via the Associated Negro Press, i h a i the Court of Appeals of that state has re versed a ten-year sentence of a Negro who shot a man “in defense of himself and his family,” The dark side of this picture is that xwli obviously just verdicts and sentences have been so rare in the past that when they come they are front-page, tooth jarring news. The bright side is that the South may he awakening to a new sense of color-blind justice. Two swallows, or even three, do not make a summer, but. they do give some ground for hope.

One of the higher providences of God's now r and wisdom is exemplified in the lack of satisfactions which accompany material pursuits; in the insufficiencies related to knowledge which stops short of faith in God; it) the decree that nothing is settled until it is settled right; in the hunger and longing for some Promised Land where he spirits of men may be made perfect and where the wicked shall cease from troubling and the weary soul shall be at rest.
