White Faction Names Two Negroes - HaaibriKht Republicarw Break Over Color Line.—Resolution on Ne groes la Adopted. The 50-called “lily white” Ham- bright Republican party in South Carolina is not so “lily white" after all, for last Tuesday when it held its State convention in Columbia two ne gro delegates and two alternate negro delegate* were eelecte<L|to attend the National Republican ronvention in Chicago in June. The delegates are J. M. Maxwell, negro merchant of Orangeburg, and S. D. Brown, negro doctor of Spar tanburg. The alternates, both ne groes, are J. A. Brier, of Greenville, and W. M. Rosemond of Pickens. O When it wa*. learned that these delegates were negroes, elected at a convention at which every delegate was a white map or woman, news paper men who attended the coventtor. began puzzling how it was they missed the fact that the four were negroes, and how they failed to hear th e reso lution read which pledged the Ham- bright wing to give negroes represen tation. The names of the delegates were neatly mimeographed and the copies to whieh new-paper men had acres* had nothing on them to indicate that nor does it actively participate in, the leadership of the affairs of the State qrganization, it ) s the sense of this convention that the race should vol untarily be given a voice jn the se lection of a candidate for president of the United States in the national convention to be held In Chicago, therefore “Be it resolved, That this conven tion do elect from the colored race two of the delegates-at-large and their alternates to the national con vention."—The State, April 29.

Hambright, former State chairman of the party and now national ' committeeman, said the renolotion relative to negroes in this party was read and adopted The action was interpreted in some quarters in Columbia yesterday as moaning that the Hambright faction was making a < hew bid to supplant the faction led by Joseph-W. (Tieless Joe) Tolbert of Ninety Six. Both groups are expected to have representatives in Chicago. The Tol bert group hag never drawn racial line*. The resolution adopted at the con vention follows: “Whereas, the Republican party of South Carolin, waa duly organized October 2h, 1930. and under iU lead- •rmhip since that time has grown steadily until today its membership eaasets of many thousands of South Carolina’* best citizens, and “Whereas, the negro race in South Carolina generally haa approved and I’ncle Joe Kzplaina It All.

Uncle J:e is level- beaded, but it lo^ts like he’s a little bit off in his present views. He thinks everybody ought to deed and convey evrrythiryc they have to the government and then let the gov ernment feed and clothe everybody. H P saya this would not matter much—aa the government will own everything we’ve got a nyhow within pportrd the aims and purposes of ,6 years. He says it takes 20 percent the organization and has not by any action endeavored to binder or retard the piogres* and growth of the party but has permitted it to function ac cording to the ideas idea's of ita present leadership, und “Whereas, the negro race, consist ing a large proportion of the popula tion of our State, has not s< ught tot of a man’s land each year to pay his taxes, that is, at the present land values, and it will therefore be gone in 6 years at the Jjest. ..^Uncle Joe did not quite under stand how the Lew Fold would fetch prosperity hack to anybody except Henry Ford, but intimated that he could be Wrong—as he was wrong in his politics when he voted for Hooyer at the laat election, but did not recall having ever 'been wrong beforp.

He gives 1 dollar to his prea cher, and he gives his wife the other dollar he makes farming. He told me about hU son, Willie, trying to get in the navy last week, but was turned down on account of a bone in his head. I suggested that he make him run for congress or the legisla ture on the economy platform—this summer. He would be elected. The rest of his conversation had reference to Mr. Roosevelt, our next, president. He thought it was Teddy Roosevelt that is running till I told him that I though Teddy was dead. He had not heard that, as he takes only a democratic paper. He felt ' • Hke fedeial expenses could be cut a.* soon as more demotrat s got in of fice and began to discharge a few millions of leaches now sucking us to death. He thinkg the democrats will hire about 1 man to take the jobs of 4 republicans. I agreed with him there and I hope I’ll get a few of the said jobs.
