burg
In connection with the
Wrighten case. Judge Waring
pointed out one other alterna¬
tive and that would be for “the
state to furnish no law school
education to any person of ei¬
ther wh te or Negro races."
The decision in the white
primary case has long been
awaited in South Carolina and
other southern states, especial¬
ly Georgia, which early this
year patterned its primary set¬
up like South Carolina’s.
The state laws affecting the
primaries which were designat¬
ed as “white” were repealed
after the United States Su-
oreme court decision in a Tex¬
as case that held that Negroes
could not be denied participa¬
tion in southern Democratic
primaries because these were
part of the general election
machinery
In answer to the contention
cif Democratic party of facials
that their organization was a
private association outside the
realm of state or federal reg¬
ulation, Waring said in Ills rul¬
ing that “I am of the opinion
that the present Democratic
party in South Carolina is act
ing for and on behalf of the
people of South Carolina; and
that the primary held by it is
the only practical place where
one can express a choice in se¬
lecting federal and other offi¬
cials.
'Racial distinctions cannot
“xist in the machinery that se¬
lects the officers and lawmak
?rs of the United States; and
all citizens of the state and
country are entitled to cast a
free and untrammeled ballot in
our elections, and if the only
material and realistic elections
are clothed with the name
primary,’ they are equally en-
titled to vote there.”
He added that “it is time
South Carolina to rejoin the
Union. It is time to fall in
with the other states and adopt
the American way of
mg elections.”
It has been stated, and I
believe it is a fact,” Waring
u rote, “that South Carolina is
the only state in the Union!
which now conducts a
mary election smely for whites
Negroes are voting in Texas,
and even in Georgia^ I can-
not see where the skies will fall
if South Carolina is put in the
same class with these and oth¬
er states.”
He held that the state Demo¬
cratic party organization con¬
sisted of “the same member¬
ship” both before and after re¬
peal of the primary election
laws. "The same method of or¬
ganization of club meetings, of)
delegates to county conventions,
delegates to state conventions,
arranging for enrollment, prep-
aation of ballots, and all the
orther details incident to a
primary election” still existed,
said.
“For too many years.” War¬
ing said, “the people of this
country, and perhaps particu¬
larly of this state, have evaded

YMCA is expanding its work in

who is temporarily on leave

“In these days when this
nation and the nations of the
world are forced to face facts
in a real stic manner, and
when this country is taking the
lead in maintainng the dem-
ocatic process and attempting
to show to the world that the
American government and the
American way of life is the
fairest and the best way that
has ,yet been suggested, it is
time for us to take stock of
our internal affairs.”
When the case was argued
in Columbia, June 3-4, Negro
attorneys maintained that the
Democratic primary was “the
only meaningful election in
South Carolina’’ because the 1
general election served only to
ratify the primary results and
was nothing but a formality.
In the other suit. Wrighten,
a graduate of the state Negro
college, cla med that his civji
riglits were infringed when his
application for admission to
the University Law School was
refused because of, he main-
ained, his color.
Wrighten contended he was
■ntitled to the same opportuni-
ies for a law education provid-
ed for white students at the
adversity Because no other
aw school supported by the
tate was available to him, he
;ns sted it was his right that
ae should be admitted to the
university.
University officials and trus¬
tees, defendants in the action,
set up one defense that the
state constitution prohibited
the admission of Negroes to the
institution They claimed also
that a law school was pi'ovided
or the Negro college and that
Wfighten could receive "equal”
law training there,
Negro leaders, however, were
Quick to react. At Coumbla,
John H. McCrary, head of the
Progressive (Negro) Democratic
party, called a special conven-
tion to meet in Columbia Wed¬
nesday to plan its future course,
J. M. Hinton, also of Colum-
president of the state
Association of the South Caro- i
Negro Citizens Committee,
prepared a demand upon party
officials that they make “pro- :
visions imrnediately to include
all qualified Negro voters" on
the party s rolls.
Negroes have not voted in,
South Carotna Democratic^
except in the most
Isolated cases, since the death
of the last one who sided with
the Democrats in 1876 and vot-
ed against the Negroes and car-;
petbaggers who controlled the
state government at that time.

WILLIAM BARTRAM
Compared to its great-great-great
grandfather, the modern alligatoi
is a sissy. According naturalist to William oi

began to tremble and keep a good
lookout; when suddenly a reeds, huge al¬
ligator rushed out of the and
with a tremendous roar came up,
and darted swift as an arrow under
my boat, emerging upright on my
lee quarter, with open jaws, and
belching water and smoke tliat fell
upon me like rain in a hurricane.”
Bartram spent many months
studying Florida, Georgia and the of
Carolinas in 1790, when most
the territory was inhabited only by
wild animals and Indians. In his
Travels he recorded bis encounters
with Seminole chieftains, Creek
murderers and Muscogulge bride¬
grooms.
Weddings took place among some
of the tribes with a good deal less
fuss and bother than they do today.
“When a young man has fixed his
attentions,” Bartram wrote, “and is
determined to marry, he takes a
cane or reed and repairs to the
habitation of his beloved. In the
presence of his wedding guests, he
sticks the reed after down his upright in the
ground. Soon sweetheart
comes forth with another reed
which she sticks down by the side
of his, when they are married. Then
•they exchange reeds, which are laid
aside as evidences or certificates of
the marriage.”
The Travels of William Bartram
;is filled with first-hand observa¬
tions of the early Southland — the
rivers, swamplands, tropical fish,
tortoises, water-hens, wolves, cranes
and great hawks. Barbour and oth¬
er modern naturalists, historians
and general readers interested ir.

Travels to be a thoroughly accu¬
