lies, in which the registered negro
voters oiitniimhei the registered
white voters, in order to ascertain
how these comities have maintain
ed white supremacy for forty years.
Such a course is entirely unnec
essary. I he News knows, as the
(iraphie does, that these counties
have shotgun supremacy.
The News did not ask for infor
mation as to how white supremacy
has been maintained in the past in
counties. Its question was

As the Cruphie seems to lie pre
pared to answer questions “right

This brings the counties of the
State face to face with the question
(Iraphie advises » s to whether or not the county
primaries shall be held on the date
named for the State primary.
Throughout the State the impres
sion seems to prevail that a July
primary is well enough for the
State but is too late for the coun
ties. In all counties that have
acted to date, an early primary (in
April or May) has been called.
Tin* question of an early or late
primary is one that will have to
be settled by the Executive Com
mittee in Coweta county, also. The
News has not conferred with any
member of our Executive Commit
tee in reference to this matter and
knows nothing whatever about any
requests committeeman's views; but the
News favors an early primary for
