YOU may consider that you know the FORD CAR. You may have been a Ford
owner for years and think you are familiar with the splendid satisfaction which
the FORD CAR gives, and yet unless you have made it a point toj examine the
FORD CAR as it is BUILT TODAY—to drive it and note its improved engine
performance—relax in it over rough roads, and experience the increased com-
fort which it affords, and to learn of the many recent improvements, you do not
know the FORD CAR a it is built today.
Many of the new FORD CAR features are obvious—balloon
tire equipment—wire wheel—pyroxlin finish—a choice of col-
ors—improved upholstery,etc., but the big satisfaction to you
as the owner of TODAY'S FORD CAR is to be found in the way ,
in which it will fulfill your expectations of what a modern mo-
tor car should be. You will be amazed at the increased power
resulting from the new Ford Vaporizer, the smoother engine
operation, the increased gasoline mileage, the improved riding
qualities, and, above all, in the way in which the car handles
and performs in traffic and on the open road.
In short, you must drive TODAY'S FORD CAR to be a fair
judge of present day motor car values.
Here are the prices on Ford Cars delivered to your
door in Alto filled with oil and ready to go:
Roadster $437.75 Coupe $571.93

NEGROES MAY VOTE IN
DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES
Washington, March 7.—The
constitutional guarantee giving
negroes the right to vote ap-,
plies to primaries as well as
general Sections, in the opinion
of the Supreme Court. j
Overthrowing a Texas stat-
ute under which negroes are
prohibited from voting in dem-
ocratic primaries, the court
found today that even though j
the primary is not mentioned in
the federal constitution, fed-;
eral jurisdiction' is sufficient to,
bar the states from making
primary laws out of harmony
with the constitutional guaran-
tee of equal rights for the
races.
"States may do a good deal
of classifying that it is difficult
to believe rational," said the
court in a unanimous opinion,
"but there are limits, and it is
too clear for extended argu-
ment that color can not be
made the basis of a statutory
classification affecting the
right set up in this case."
The court said it was not even
necessary to take into account
the fifteenth amendment,
which gives negroes the right
to vote, because the injustice of
the Texas statute was suf-
ficiently apparent when con-
sidered merely in the light of
the fourteenth amendment,
which prohibited the states
from making any law to
abridge the rights of citizens
on account of race or color.
The decision was handed
down in the case of L. A. Nix-
on, an E? Paso negro, who

sought unsucfcessfully , in the
lower courts to recover dam-
ages against election judges
who refused to permit him to
vote at a democratic primary
election.
Moorfield Storey of Boston,
his counsel, told the Supreme
Court that 370,000 negro voters
in Texas had been excluded as
ineligible to participate in dem-
ocratic primaries. Nixon him-
self represented that he had
voted the? democratic ticket for
years prior to passage of the
law.
"That private damage may
be caused by such political ac-
tion and may be recorded *for in
a suit at law hardly has been
doubted and has been recog-
nized. by this court," said the
opinion. "If the defendant's
conduct was a wrong to the j
plaintiff, the same reasons:
that allow a recovery for deny- i
ing the plaintiff a vote at a fi-j
nal election allow it for deny-i
ing a vote/ at the primary elec-
tion that may determine the
final result. The important
question is whether the statute
can be sustained.
"But although we state it as
a question, the answer does not
seem to us open to a doubt."
In his opinion, Justice
Holmes quoted from a former
case in which he said:
"That amendment (the four-
teenth) not only gave citizen-
ship and the privileges of citi-
zenship to persons of color, but
it denied to any state the power
to withhold from them the
equal protection of the laws.
What is this but declaring that
the law in the states shall be
the same for the black as for
the white; that all persona
whether colored or white, shall
stand equal before the laws of
the states, and in regard to the
colored race, for whose protec-
tion the amendment was pri-
marily designed, that no dis-
crimination shall be made
against them by law, because of
their color."

for rural school trustees, as '
well as, independent schools, | -—
will be held on the first Satur-
day in April. And this is a
matter that should concern
and interest every patron and
citizen of the school com-
munity, more especially, if he
believes in better schools, and
broad minded men and women
to serve as trustees.
I feel like the school com-
munities should have the right
to say who their candidates
should be for trustees, and in
taking this view of the matter,
1 will not place the names of
any candidates on the ballots,
except where the communities
make the demand and file such
application as required by law.
This printing the names of can-
didates upon the ballots is ex-
pensive and the county should
not be a ked to incur such an
additional expense. Let's come
together like men and women
and write the name of our
choice on the ballot, then be
willing to join hands with the
successful candidate and work
together for the success of the
school.
Under separate cover I am
mailing to you all supplies for
holding said election. Please
follow the instructions set out.
The local board must appoint
three managers for holding
each election.
The voters are to elect two
County Trustees at this elec-
tion, one in Commissioners Pre-
cinct No. 1, Rusk, and one in
Commissioners' Precinct No. 3,
Jacksonville. Mr. Ed Single-
tary is now1 County trustee for
Precinct No. 1, and Mr. R. L.
Pearman is County Trustee for
Jacksonville Precinct, and I
must say they are wide awake
and always on their job as
County Trustees.
Yours very truly,
