Supreme Court voids Annapolis grandfather clause in voter law
The Supreme Court invalidates the grandfather clause used to bar Black voters, signaling possible access in Southern cities despite other methods like poll taxes.

The paper also highlights a centennial celebration for Washington’s monument corner stone in Baltimore, railway industry growth, paint pigment demand, Dr. Welch’s China medical education plan, Sun fundraising for child milk, health surveys, and seasonal appeals.
