LITERACY VOTE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) VMorney Herman Taylor dcG-ircd that ihc literacy test violates both the Due Process Clausi of the 17th Amendment and parts of the 14th Amend ment of the Constitution of the United States. ; Taylor, Janies R. Walker. Jr, of STdesGlk’ and Samuel S Mitchell, j Raleigh. The v. mien all testified that they I were denied registration at Sea board Precinct in Northampton ; County because they mispronoun : eed a few words. Attorneys for the defense, led by Attorney General Geor ge B. Patton, maintained that the literacy test fell under the jurisdiction of the North Caro lina legislature. It was pointed oit? by the defense . that 17 spates, including New York ! and Massachusetts, have laws re , mi;ring that voters be able to read and write. No decision was made in the ease, hut attorneys were given several days to file briefs for another hearing. The throe judges, John J. Parker ■if Charlotte. Wilson Warlick of i Newton and Don Gilliam of Tar i boro, granted Sawyers 20 days in which to file briefs on their argu \ merits and an additional 10 days in which to answer. Mrs. Louise Lassiter, the origin -lal plaintiff, said that she was ■ given a section of the State Consti tution to read when she tried to | register. The registrar, Mrs. Helen j H. Taylor, told her she mispro . nounced several words, Mrs. Las ! siter said. On the stand. Mrs. Lassiter was i asked to read a part of the State ■ Constitution. She did so somewhat haltingly. Asked to spell “charter,” | she answered, “I can't spell it.” She also said that she could net spell “corporation" or “re- i formatory,” She spelled “charity” as “charty." Mrs Mary Ellen Edwards, an other plaintiff, said Mrs. Taylor rejected her six times for registra tion for “misprouncing words” and not being able to explain them. READS SECTION Mrs. Edwards read a section of the Constitution in a slow, deliber ate manner when asked to do so. Northampton Attorney Riddle asked, "How old were you when you stopped going to school?" “Eighteen," she replied. “How far did you go?" he asked. “To the Eighth Grade,'’ Mrs Ed wards answered. Mrs. Sarah Harris, the third plaintiff, said that she tried twice and failed to get on the books. She explained that the police chief was “walking around” in Mrs. Tay lor's store and she grew nervous on one occasion. “I'm kinda scared of the chief." she testified On the stand, she said that she ! was asked to be a witness and didn’t know that, she had become a plaintiff in the lawsuit. Asked what her purpose was in the suit, she answered, "My pur pose is that I went to the registrar and passed, but I didn’t got on the j books." She said that Mrs. Lassiter urg 'd j j her to “come up here." i v Alexander Faison, student at ! North Carolina College in Dur ham told the court that he. too, 1 was turned down for mispron- | mincing words when he tried to register. He said that his brother got on the hooks the same day and his father had been registered for several years at Seaboard. SOME ON BOOKS Mrs. Taylor, the slout. smiling j registrar, said that, she had put ! 49 Negroes on the books since 1952. j The precinct has about 600 names j on the books, she said. Riddle asked her how many j Negroes had applied for reg-stra- I fion. ! "I put 21 on in ’66 ar.d 20 were ■ rejected,” Mrs, Taylor said. Mrs. Taylor said that on orders * from the late It V. Beale, who was then chairman of the Elections Board for Northampton County, she gave dictation writing tests by reading sections of the State Constitution and having voting ap plicants copy it down. Mrs. Harris, she said, didn't ' even attempt to write the first 1 sentence, “Mrs. Taylor, you know I can't spell those words,'” the : ’ registrar quoted Mrs. Harris as • saying. "She argued with me to • register her since I put her sister 5 on the books.” Mrs. Taylor said. Riddle asked. “Do you give 1 everyone white, black and Tn -1 dian the literacy test?” “Yes 3ir,” replied Mrs Taylor She said she turned down a “white veteran” in 1952 because ! he could not read the State Con- B stitution. t : Goodman’s We Have Cut Prices On AH !

ODDS & ENDS (CONTINUED FROM RAGE 1) only be a formality There: arc 17 candidates on the City Council ballot, including four who are now members of tha council. It. Is our honest belief that the best thing that ran happen to Raleigh is an all new City council. The four who are ask ing for re-election arc mem bers of a council that has made history, as an uriharmonious, confused and burglary group. Neither of these four has act ed as if lie knew that Raleigh had any Negro citizens. With the exception of one all of i them have served before as eouwilmen. It is most eviriur;! that now is the j time for a change, a complete over ; hauling, Wo ardently believe in i good covf; nmcriv. in clean honest j J elections We believe that the clcc j torate you the voters, should oxer- j j vise your right to pick your can- 1 didates without dictation, fear or j promise of special tTvors. How- ! ! ever much wo believe in these ! I principals we see no need for our j Negro voters to go to the polls j ! Saturday and vole for fourteen candidates j We do not me why they should jor would vote sot four or own This is !h< fifth time that the ! cithers of Raleigh have been ask-- I ed to reject a City Council On i each of those occasions there has been a Negro candidate. On each of those occasions the Negro can didate has lost because s he white votes refused to support him in any appreciable manner. On each of those orrasxions the Negro candidate received a sizeable number of votes in the top heavy Negro prieiriets but his sunport in the all white precincts was scanty. AH of this means just one thing if we are going to nut a Vetro on the Raleigh City Council we will have lo do it by voting for the Negro Candidate only. In the nrirnarv ror-ilng un Sat urday there will he two Ne groes on the ballot. We can ! vote for these two and only ! j these iv o. The other candidates do not need | our votes, those who are going to | win can and will win without our 1 votes Each vote we cast for them is adding to the heavy vote they THE CAROLINIAN will get in the all white precincts where our candidates will receive a very few if any votes. There is no apparent reason why we can not nominate and elect both of the Negro candidate!!. We can if we do not divide our votes with the other candidates. Lots all vote Saturday and lets vote right DOES HE MEAN IT: Gov Hod ges has talked mu ' and long about raising the per • ita income of North Cut o’ ’ -<’. would say that her rigid: were rudely nod shoe! ng!> • lifted but we have never practiced law, served as a justice of the State’s Supreme Court or elected lo represent the people as a U. S j Senator, so. not having been any of I those things, it may be that we j just don't know what a civil right; I violation is. So now, Senator, you j tell us what you would call that j Montgomery bus incident. SOME OTHER QUESTION - ' SHOULD RE ASKED: The Raleigh ’ unit of the Iwaague of Women i ■ Voters has published a list of ten ' questions they want the 17 candi ■ dates for the Raleigh City Council • ‘o answer. An opportunity to ans ■ wer these and other questions will ! be given these candidates at b pub lic session to be held next Friday evening in the Wake County Court I House There does not seem to be • anything particularly wrong with ‘ the questions to be asked They ; don't seem to have too much bear -5 ing on the duties and responsibt • lities of a City Councilman, nor • do they appear to offer any upper s (unity for the public to deternvno j a the fitness of these candidates to ! I serve on Raleigh s policy-making | body. However, there are some i questions the League could have 1 moulded in its list. Obedience lo law should not only v* a burning desire of all candi t ■ tm public office it should be n plank in their platforms, nr ''ds reason, the 17 candidates " ';•! b iked point blank if 'lu ; sub l ib • to this American t* nt - : e further more, if elected.
