C. Continued from Page 1 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primary set¬ up like South Carolina’s. The state laws affecting the primaries which were designat¬ ed as “white” were repealed after the United States Su- oreme court decision in a Tex¬ as case that held that Negroes could not be denied participa¬ tion in southern Democratic primaries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 Elks To Celebrate Anniversary _ Continued from Page 1 will be headed by the famous B joker T.

West Broad Street YMCA is expanding its work in various fields. Wilton C Scott, who is temporarily on leave from the War Department, has been appointed as the acting secretary of boys work and pro¬ gram director. Mr. Scott has just passed his final examina- t on in personnel management end labor relations from the University of Colorado- Program leadership Council community agencies in combat- A group of young profession¬ men and women j realistic issues. “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. ms w mas SOAR-Sm AMR TORH IM MRy RROP IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE IN THE TRIBUNE iAVAJOTAH TRIBT7NB Modern ’Gators Lack Vigor WILLIAM BARTRAM Compared to its great-great-great grandfather, the modern alligatoi is a sissy. According naturalist to William oi Bartam, the famous the Travels eighteenth recently century been repub¬ whose lias lished by DoverPublicatioiis($3.75), the alligator of early Florida was not _______ only more aggressive, __ but ac¬ j tually spouted water and smoke al ^“AsTpasscd reported by in Battle his Lagoon,” book, ”1 | Bartram 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. the South have long found tin Travels to be a thoroughly accu¬ rate and fascinating account of that ; -nod. into a program lead- council and made exten- plans to sponsor and en¬ courage cultural, as well as recreational ties for the youth of Chatham county.
