Mrs. Ida H. Duncan, Vice-
President, North Carolina Teach-
era Aaaociation, JVaritington
High School, Reidsvllle, N. C.,
I will deliver the keynote address
for the morning aeaaion. Her aub-
I Reporta of heavy voting by
Negroes in North and Sooth Car
olina coming into the eg
the CAROLINA TIMES by tde-
phone and telesram revealed
here Wednesday noon that the
two states had (mbably been re
tained in the Democratic column
in the national election for presi
dent, held Tuesday, almost soWy
on tile strong support given Gov
ernor Stevenson by Negroes.
Although it is known that
many Negroes voted the Re
publican ticket close' obaervers
and those in the know state that
at least 85 per cent of the Negro
vote in the two Carolinas went
to th^ Illinois governor in his
race for the presidency. In North
Carolina where the Negro vote
is now conservatively estimated
to be over 125,000. Stevenson
trailed General Elaanhower, the
successful candidate, by 100,437
votes. The total vote for Etoen-
hower in the OM North State
waa 60S.347 while Stevenson
poUed 501,437.
In South Carolina where the
^voting WM murii cloaer the sup-
)^ort givA the Dlinoia Governor
by Negro voters was definitely
known to have held the state in
the Democratic column. In that
state Stevenson led Eisenhower
by only a little over 10,000 votes.
While definite figures were not
available on the total Negro
registration in that state it ia
known to be well over 25JMH).
According to Kelly Alexander,
president of the North Carolina
Conference of the National Aa-
sociation -for the Advancement
of Colored People the total num
ber of Negroes registered in thi«
State, prior to the opening of the
books in November, was about
97,500. Alexander told a repre
sentative of the CAROLINA
TIMES that the Negro registra
tion in Charlotte had passed the
10,000 mark which practically
doubled the number who were
on the books prior to the No
vember 4 election.
It was in Charlotte where the
incumbent Democratic Con
gressman, Hamilton Jones was
defeated by a Republican Chaa.
Jonas for his seat in the United
States House of Representatives.
While a majority of Negroes in
Charlotte are known to have
voted for Governor Stevenaon
for president, on the matter of
voting for Congressman of their
district they split their vote in
favor of the Republican candi-
prove the quality of learning and
living. A panel discussion by
several high school boys and
girls from participating schools
throughout the State will be
presented.
The topic for the Resource-
Use Ekiucation' Symposium is:
“The Rola Of Students In Cm-
servlng Wisely Commanlty Be-
sonrces For Better Learning And
Living.” Several high school
choirs and bands will present se
lections for the morning session.
Twenty-one resource-use em
