Senator Hawkins backs Federal Court ruling on poll tax
Etowah senator George Hawkins says the Federal Court decision abolishing the poll tax will improve Alabama government. He criticizes state inaction since 1951 and notes bills to end the poll tax passed the Senate in 1965 but were killed in the House. He calls the tax repugnant and discriminatory against poor people, white and Black, and foresees continued voting eligibility confusion ahead of May primaries.

Fear and love of God in harmony explained
The answer says fear of God and love coexist like a child fearing disobedience and loving parents. Fear means awe and reverence, not dread. A reverent dread prevents displeasing God, and true love requires a respectful, healthy fear of the Lord.
