A lengthy interview with Louie impressed me. The man who
predominates the Juke Boxes with his original hit tunes was just
the opposite from what one would think of a maestro in his class
to be. Mr. Jordan, the man. was very unassuming and polite to all
of his fans who mobbed him for autographs, and his work of en
tertaining the throng of people who came to hear him seemed to be
a pleasure. His spirit was so wrapped with Savannah doings that
he- made a bid to name the place for Gus Hayes New Cocktail Bar
and Tourist Cabins for the prize of twenty-five dollars in gold.
The picture in this column shows Louie as he wrote the name to be
sent in with Gus Hayes, Hackback and one of Mr. Jordan’s auto
graph seekers looking on, and with the many parties going on that
night there was a crowd because (To Each His Own).
- ODur second journey took us to Coconut Grove where the Alpha
Phi Alpha was in session with the annual debutante ball that pre
sented Miss Jessie Collier, of Georgia State College. Miss Eloise
\ aughn of South Carolina State College, Miss Lois Wilson of Talla
lega College, Miss Dorothy Hardwick. Beach Senior, and Miss Marie
Hing senior at Beach with chaperons Mrs. Countess Cox, Mrs.
’ce Clajer and Mrs. Mary McDew, which made a beautiful setting
the occasion ... It is said that people have more fun than
oody. So the way we saw it fun galore was in the making
Dr. and Mrs. McDew. Mr. and Airs. Walter Scott,_ Jr., Mr. and
s. T. J .Hopkins, Mr. ami Mrs. Leonard Law' Mrs. Edith Vaughn
f S, C. State College; Dr. Whitaker, president of S. C. State Col
lege and this column congratulations to little Eloise Vaughn to
have grown to be such a charming person. Your father and 1 have
talked of this day for you so many times when you were being
taught to walk and I know you have fulfilled every wish. So sorry
time did not permit us to mingle more with the very lovely people
who attended this affair of the year and my general observation gave
out the familiar cry “To Each His Own.”
A hurried taxi trip to Manhattan Casino and there the Mutuals
were at the heights of frivolity with their costume ball with every
one seemingly to have the good old Thanksgiving spirit. There
were so many pretty costumes that one would commit an injustice
to name a single’ one and there I have said it again—“To Each His
* Own” . . . A stampede on foot carried me to the old hunting
grounds of Lincoln Inn where the A. J. really hit the (Jack) pot
with their many affairs gone by whispering words, tinkling glasses
and not a dull moment woul 1 be a complete description for the
A. J.’s dance with their capacity crowd saying to us “To Each His
Own.” Then away I went to cop some shut eye at five a. m. that
thankful morning for my date with Ga. State College for eight a. m.
made me sleed three very short hours to listen to Louis Hayes,
awaken me at seven a. nt. for that sleep ride to Thunderbolt. There
I found the students busily decorating floats, ears and buses for
their football parade. Everything seemed to have been so well
planned that I loked around for the blueprint. Only a short while
my heart went out for the senior class because it seemed there was
no car for their queen to ride in but I suppose that unseen blue
-■4P‘jn.t 3 V ? S consulted and hokus pokus we had a car for the seniors.
The Pep Parade was a colorful affair that I know raiser the
moral of the students one hundred percent at Ga. State College.
Personal mention for presentation to Miss Ga. State. Miss Maggie
Hayes and her attendants Misses Della Mae Walker and Blanche
Brayboy. And to the queen of Trade Mis Catherine Johnson and
her attendants Misses Welhelmipa Boatright and Trudy Mosley . . .
A citiatidn from this column to Professor Orsot for his efforts to
make Thanksgiving Day for the students of Ga. State Sollege one
•which I am sure they will not forget and from short talks with
former students of the student body it has been a long time since
their interests towards the things that make them really enjoy
being a par of that institution. So more power to you Mr. Orsot
for your interest where it helps most.

To The Colored People Of Savannah
Savannah. Ga..
November 29. 1946
To the Colored People of Savannah:
The charge has been made publicly and in the
white and Negro press of Savannah by C. P. L. leaders
and their affiliates that I entered into a deal by which
1 agreed to deliver 15.000 Negro votes to the Bouhar
machine in consideration of their giving the Municipal.
Court Judgeship to my daughter. I brand this state
ment as a ^deliberate fie and falsehood. I have at no
time ever claimed that I controlled the Negro vote orr
any votes and I at no time ever made any deal with
anyone to place my daughter upon the Municipal Court
bench.
Last summer she offered for office before the peo
ple of Savannah and received the almost unanimous
vote of the colored people despite the fact that both
the Administration and the C. P- L- which claims to
have been such a loving, kind friend of the colored
people, fought her at the polls and tried to elect their
own candidate. Mr. Mulling, a blind boy. recently from
Tattnall County.
For years and years I have constantly fought the
battle of the colored people and it was only natural that
this mutual regard, built up over the years, should
frighten the C. P. L. leaders into trying, by false and
fraudulent charges against me. to seek, in the excite
ment of a political campaign, to undermine my strength
and prestige.
Last summer when the Negroes were fighting bit
terly throughout the State of Georgia not only for the
right to register, but also for the right to vote, not a
single white lawyer could be obtained by the Hub or
other Negro leaders to join me in this battle. There
are about fifteen white lawyerleaders in the C. P. L.
and not a single one of them wanted to be identified
After the July 17th primary I continued to fight
the cause of the colored people and .six suits are now
pending in their behalf in counties in Southwest Geor
gia. all brought by me. When taxes were illegally
extorted from the Negro people in Chatham county
last summer, it was I and I alone who obtained back
for the Negroes, several hundred dollars which I re
turned to these people without fee or compensation.
Judge Lewis, Albert L. Cobb. Air. Dunbar Harri
son. Mr. Carroll L. Williams. Mr. Marion Porter, Mr.
Ray Carter and others, all of whom are either promi
nent candidates or C. P. L. leaders, were selected by
Mr. Talmadge as Talmadge delegates; this, in the face
of the promise that the C. P. L. made to the Negroes
in their platform that they would continue to fight to
retain the State Primary Laws which guaranteed to
the Negroes, the right to participate in future elections
of this State. People in Savannah know well enough
that neither Mr. Leo Griffin, head of the Talmadge
organization, now prominent in the C. P. L. ranks, nor
Mr. Herman Talmadge, son of Governor-elect Eugene
Talmadge, would have selected these people as his dele
gates unless he knew that they either had voted for
Talmadge or would support Talmadge in the coming
legislative fight. If Mr. Talmadge so blindly selected
people not his adherents and supporters, then why did
he not select me, A. Pratt Adams, and many other
people in Savannah who were staunch Carmichael sup
porters? -
I am supporting the G. I. People’s Party because I
refuse to be a party to a fraud. The political fate of
either the C. P. L. or the G. I. People’s Party is not of
great importance as far as I am concerned. It is im
portant, however, that I should not stand idly by and
permit a few cheap, petty politicians to attempt to de
stroy, by false and malicious staotements. the pre^dige
and respect which I have built up among the colored
people of Savannah for the past thirty years.
Respect full v.
