outgrowths of the old W. C.

j .smoke of battle has rolled away
and the tears of both joy and sor

now see what, everyone has been
j trying to guess for the past ninety
days; namely, who would win the
election primary, which is tanta
mount to final election in Tar
heelia which is strictly a Demo
cratic Party state except for a
few districts or counties,
We had wagered that two of
the three congressmen who fail, i
to ?,ign the infamous “Southern
Manifesto” would be re-riecteo.
We only got one of them—Harold
D Cooley from the 4th district.
All of which goes to show that

said all along -is little different
from other rabid Southern states
which are hell-bent on keeping
the Negro forever under foot by
denying him every vest.ee of first
class cithtenship they possibly cnn.
