Week's School
For Baptists
Opens Monday
A training institute for Bap
tist church workers will open
for five days at Mt. Gilead Bap
tist church next week.
Announcement of the insti
tute, to run from Monday, Nov.
10, through Friday, Nov. 14, was
made this week by the Rev.
William Fuller, president of the
New Hope Missionary Assoct
tion, sponsor of the institute.
The institute sessions, to be
held for two hours each night
from 7:30 to 9:30, will be divided
into two 45 minute class periods

bieen cast.
Barnes received 2,282 votes in
Du|*ham County. His opponents,
winnefs CUrrie and Hancock, got
8,!$18 and 8,282 respectively.
•Rie Coimty Negro vote is esti
mated at approximately 15,000.
According to the trend estab
lished at the four largely-Negro
precincts in the county, less than
17 percent of the estimated num
ber ofNegro voters took part in
the election.
(This was in keeping with the
city-wide trend which indicated
only a 28 percent participation
by the total electorate)
In addition to ihe fact that
this was not a presidential elec-
tio«Q. the lU*»t vote ,aHM^ Ne-
grb^'was attributed to'..tfe fact
that the Durham Committee on
Negro Affairs did not endorse
any candidate and took a stand
only on two issues, both of which
failed to attract much attention.
The Committee recommended
that the proposed merger of city
and county schools and a propo
sal to extend jurisdiction of Jus-
tirps nf the Peace be defeated.
Bames said failure of Negroes
to take part in substantial num
bers’ in the election was an indi-
the county and state are.victims
of the' one-party system more
than anyone else.”
Describing the defeat of pro
posed schools consolidation as
an indicative of the fact that
“the people do not want power
concentrated in one place,” he
declared that the people “ought
to ponder the fact that the politi
cal strength of the county is con
centrated in the Democratic
party.”
“Durham County and North
Carolina will continue to throb
in the abysmal pool of poUtical
ineptness as long as the one
party system prevails,” he said.
Barnes said despite the fact
that schools have turned out
trained Negro engineers, secre
taries, clerks and lawyers, none
have been hired by tlte State
Democratic administratJuxi.
He called upon “so-caUad Me-
jcrp' Demoapntic leader? to go
after some valuable jolis and
positions for Negroes” and to
not” stop their pressure as soon
as election say is over.”
This was Bames’ second at
tempt for the State Senate.
