Newspaper Page TextVOL 22 Gan Democrats of Wilkin- < son Endorse the Dyer , Bill by Voting for < Hoover? , . That Herbert Hoover, RepUbli- < can nominee for president, will blow the “solid south” to pieces i in the November election is con fidently asserted by Congress- i man L C. Dyer of the 12th Missouri district, author of the famous Dyer anti-lynching bill, which has been passed by the Republican house of representa tives and defeated by a Democratic filibuster in the United States senate. “My anti-lynching bill intend ed to enforce the 14th amend ment was passed by the Republicans of the house of representatives by a vote of two to-one. In the senate it had the support of the Republican members, but southern Democa tic senators took advantage of the despotic senate rules to stage a filibuster that prevented its coming to a vote. Had these rules been changed as advocated by Vice President Dawes, the Dyer anti-lynching bill would now be a law. I “Tne passage of my bill would have been followed by the pass age of still another law designed to enforce the 15th amendment also, and thus the negro in the south would have come into the full rights guaranteed him by the 14th and 15th amendments. “On November 6 that great The Industrial South Sixty-three years. Only a fourth of the South’s age. And yet in that fourth it has labored and built and regained more than half the power that it held at the end ot the first three fourths; until, in 1927, with an estimated population of only 40,175,000, it produced 176,6 per cent more cotton products value, 81.8 per cent more mineral products value and made 681.8 per cent more highway expendi tures than did the entire United States, with 75,994,000 popula tion and practically all the country’s wealth in 1900. It is an amzing, amazing, Aladdinlike narrative, this story of the New South. It is almost incomprehensible that a people could surge upward from' the very pits of despair and ruin and, in one lifetime, center the' attention of a nation on them selves; make such gigantic strides in manufacturing and other development as to attract the interest and capital of a nation to whom big business is an open book; and still’ stand forth in the security of the knowledge that the resources of the New South are but partially explored, little known, fractionally developed - -a people and a land with all the charm of tradition and blood and breeding of the old, now fresh and vibrant with the vigor and courage of the new. U. D. C. Plans The John Ball Chapter U. D. C. met Oct- 12 at the home of Mrs Levi Cason, Br. at Toomsboro with Miss Addiegene Cason and MrsA. C- Todd as hostesses. Mrs C. G. Kitchens succeeded Mrs Carlton G. Chapman, regent^ who has moved to Jacksonville, Fla. THE BULLETIN engineer-politician, Hoover, with the votes of the prohibi tionists and those swayed be cause of the religious question in the south, will drive such a thick wedge through the heart of the “solid south” and their ‘White supremacy’ slogan that it will blow up their whole un constitional program. After the solid south has been blown to pieces by Engineer Hoover, our next president, that will be the finish of the nullificationists of the south who have for 60 years violated and prevented the enforcement of the 14th and 15th amendment. Then congress will enact enforcement laws that will give nil lions of negroes their constitution rights as citizens, and place them on an equality with all other races.” W ilhams-Herndon Rev. and Mrs. Marvin Williams announce the engagement of their daughter, Florimel, to Elisha Merriman Herndon, of Social Circle, the marriage to be solemnized October 29.
