primary, are illiterates will-.be a sur
prising fact to many people. It is the
more' surprising'; because Columbus,
which is one of the larger oltles of tlie
state; raises-a; fund by local taxation
for Its public sohool system, In addi
tion to the money received from’the
state. The public sohool system of
Columbus Is one of the best not only
In Georgia, but In. the south. The
county schools of Muscogee are kept
up'i to a high standard.: and compare
favorably with those of any county In
the state.
“No negroes, whom Smith and Wat
son propose to disfranchise, registered
or offered to register for the primary.
“If we haven’t done so, It will be
Just aB well to look this Smlth-Watsou
dlBfranchlsoment demagoglsm square
ly In the face,"
We are surprised, Indeed, to., learn
that the illiteracy among the white
Democrats of Muscogee county Is so
large as the Enquirer-Sun states It to
ho. We doubt if there Is another
county In the southern part of the
state with an Illiteracy of anything
like 10 per cent, among the white
population. Such a percentage of 11
literacy may be found In some
of tho counties of the moun
tain regions In the northern part of
the state where there are, compara
tively speaking, few negroes, but we
had no Idea that any such widespread
Illiteracy existed among the white peo
ple in any part of Southern or South
west Georgia as the registration of
white Democratic voters in Muscogee
discloses In that county. Here In
Dougherty county, for Instance, the
percentage Is less than l per cent,
Columbus Is a ‘ factory town,’’ and
the large percentage of Illiteracy there
is no doubt confined largely, if not en
tirely, to the factory people. This Is
the only explanation of the unusual,
not to say extraordinary, conditions
revealed by the registration list of
Muscogee county that seems to sug
gest itself.
