Sidelights On Elections Here BY JAMES A SHEPARD WE DID WIN Since the primary election of last Saturday, many persons haw asked us. ' why didn't we w'in las; Saturday?” The overall answer is WE DID WIN. No, Grady D. Dav is did not receive sufficient votes sembly but we won a vote victo ry that has never been equaled to put him into the general as in Wake County. It has been conservately es- Itmated that at least 70 percent of the Negroes who were on the books voted last Saturday. That was a victory unparrel Da* is Inspires Heavy Vole (AN EDITORIAL) The greatest surge of inspired political participation in de cades was manifested in Ralegh last Saturday by Negroes. Lines at Precincts 20 and 26 formed when these polling places opened and for 12 hours there was no let up. In fact there was sufficient confusion at Precinct 26 to call the elections board chairman in by precinct officials to take over and put things in order. and install ballot boxes to ease the pressure on the two voting ma chines Some people remained into the night to vote. There were unpleasantries. Some people left in disgust. Much of the confusion came because of the overflow crowd, the long list of candidates and the newness of the voting machines to many. However, the magic of Grady D. Davis compelled the crowd to stubbornly wait so that they could be sure to give | their beloved candidate all the support possible. fCONTINUED ON PAGE 2) j led in this county when it is remembered that never before , have so many Negroes bother ed themselves to go to vote and never before have they patiently stood in line tor 2 or 3 hours, waiting to vote, who will say that we did not win!

SHEPARD ________ i “For by grace are you saved | through faith.” •THE PRICE OF SEGREGATION IS HIGH” The above classic statement bv an illustrious kinsman of ours j comes to mind after reading the | revealing editorial “Pie In The Sky, j Poverty On The Plate” in one of ! our daily papers which thoroughly debunked the shallow pretense of North .Carolina’s prosperity. This ; pretense has reached its height during the long vociferous admin- j istration of Gov. Hodges. The article, which prompts us to action, minces no words in point- j ing to the folly contained in the loud mouth propaganda of trying i to picture North Carolina as a for- 1 ward state showing that during the decade just ended, 39 counties in j this state lost twice as many of its j citizens than during the decade j 1940-50 arid that the percentage 1 of growth in this state during the j past decade was the lowest since J 1870, the question is raised, how | can any slate boast of progress J when figures and facts provde oth- j erwige?

The jury deliberated for three hours and 45 minutes. I “The verdict strengthens my | faith in the possibility of people in the South solving their problems and dealing justly and honestly." i Dr King delivered a sermon en titled “Autobiography of Suffer- j ing" Sunday in which he deserib- I ed his earlier experiences with the law in Alabama and expressed hope for the current, wave of Ne gro segregation protest sweeping the South. He said that on the occasion of | one arrest in Montgomery “they twisted my arms and kicked me ! 1 into a cell." "I have been taupht the creative i value of suffering and I could not respond with hate," Kmg said ; Bui attempts on his life and conviction in earlier rases were not as hard to bear as the tax oharges. King said, because “I was being attacked on my honesty.” He was charged with “falsely, wilfully and corruptly" listing his j taxable income m 195fi as $9,150 !
