Mr. T. Hoddie Ward, an official who

In one of the worst of la.st week’s bijfh-
wxty ti’apedies t.ie driver crashed head-
lonjf Into the rear of a .standitijf truck.
Why? Well, it is pn-tty clearly indicated
that the driver of the }i alh car couldn’t
atop soon enough. OI«J car'.’ Faulty brakes?
Whatever ttie answers t» those and other
questions, it is ceilain ti»at he was Koijij/
too fast under the set of circum.stanees
which prevailed. It is worth while notitiii
also that there \vci»‘ three full-si/.ed per

The speed of which the modern car is

THE MERIT RATING ISSUE
There is nothiiiv^ fumlannmtallv wrong
with the idea of vaiying the pay of public

The trouble would come in the matter of

One of lhe.se occasions was the receid.
imrticipnlion of Negroes in large nunihers
in a special coiigre.ssional election in the
district vvliieh includes Atlanta, or at
least part of it. Not only did Negroes vote;
their ballots were the deciding factor in
a cln.se election. The margin of the sue-
ce.s.sful candidate, a wnmaii, l»y (ht* way,
was .so clo.se dial tin re was no doubt that
.she could not liave won without her Ne
gro supporters. The .same is a very ini-
poilant fact. Office seekers and office
holders cannot laugh of a gmup to whic;.
they owe or may owe tlieir election.
At least as epoch-making as the large
scale voting of Negroes in certain Atlanta
precincts was the fact that Negro election
officials conducted the lialloting. Doidil-
less it has been many .veai-s since .sue ’, a
thing happi-ned in Georgia, if it has ever
happened laTore.
For a good while now the CAKOLIN-
lAN has been claiming that the Trend of
affairs Indicated by the .Atlanta event is in
evitable. With the Texas primary case as
till* hulwalk of their claims, and with in
.'^i.stent liut intclligoiil action to olitaiii (heir
indisputable rigliLs, Negroes will more and
more win the indispen.sable right to suf-
jrage. In Atlanta and other places lead-
• rs have taken it upon themselves to train
potential voters in their rights and dutii’S,
and for an intc]!igo>nt exercise of tlie bal
lot, at the same they were using every
l(-gilimate and proper means for opening
ll>e polls. Such pruc(’dur(’ i.s bound to win.
Victory will come fii'st in t h e cities,

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON By Rev. M. W. Williams
How can a man live without a
head?
How can I livi when you are dea;"*
I dunt' see how I'll get along.
Unices inv v/ill power is very strong.
Seems like you were put here to
stay;
But some divine power is Inking
you away.
I will certainly die from grief and
regret;
Unless some divine power helps m3
forget.
Darling. I can see as you lie cn
your bed.
And I rub my hand over your
head;
Thai vou have suffered very much
pain.
And lost much strength that you
will never regain.
As vou slowly close your lovely
eyes.
I can feel your soul going up in
the skys —
Why couldn't you slay on this earth
to be —
Happy persons just you and me.
If only that could be (rue.
If only you could hear me speak
to you;
Bk' maybe its better that you are
at re.st,
Because the good Lord knows
what’s best.
