Jesse Jackson Visits Kinston The Reverend Jesse Jackson came to Lenoir Community College in Kinston, N.C. on Thursday evening at 7:30 p.m. There were over 2000 citizens waiting in long lines under cloudy skies and a few drops of rain. They were eagerly awaiting the presidential candidate and listening to the message Rev. Jackson had prepared. He was received with standing applause and was welcomed by several officials of Kinston, N.C. and also businessmen as well as members of the Lambda, PA Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. The Omega’s were instrumental in setting up the program for Rev. Jackson’s visit to Kinston. After Rev. Jackson accepted the friendly and cordial welcome from city leaders, he began his message by saying—“Up above my head I hear music in the air,” and there is a spirit in this meeting and everyone can hear a voice.” He stated that. There’s something going on-1 can’t see it, nor explain it, but there’s something going on.” He injected a Greek ward (ciras) which means “the fullness of God’s Time.” He said, that the time has come for us to come to the corner stone of a “New Altar” and work for the people who are in need. Jackson said that there are 8 million more people in poverty now than there were when President Reagan took office. "These poverty stricken people are mostly blacks, women, children of one parent families, poor and aged. His message stressed many points on how factories were closed, training for the unskilled ceased, farms were foreclosed, social security cut and so on down the line. These poor people were given less and less opportunities to rise above the poverty level. He further stated that it seems to be “a Robin Hood in Reverse,” taking from poor to supply the rich.” This he said must be changed because it is wrong. Jackson said that his mission is to argue the case of the poor and to assist people in all walks of life. Jackson believes that too much money is being spent in the arms race and too little is being done to develop a democratic society that is healthy and well. He stated that dope addicts and vandals often commit crimes because they cannot find jobs, housing, and even the bare necessities of a decent life. He believes that he could develop training programs, create jobs and stimulate programs for farming, housing, and the elderly that would make our society a better place to live in. He stated that his campaign has made the Democratic party more real because “the fulness of time is upon us.” Then “joy will come where there is despair.” “I am not a perfect servant, but I am a public servant.” “Give me a chance to be President,” he said, “We need a new direction as well as new president. So give me a chance.” Let us use the money to educate, to build bridges, roads, hospitals, and to train doctors, masons, carpenters, architects, etc. Jackson emphazied the fact that we need a new way out from the bottom, we need peace and education. We need to live in a society where everybody is somebody. His final remarks were, if we need and want somebody for a new direction—“Here am I-send me.” Ft. Barnwell attendants were Mr. and Mrs. Joe L. Harris, Mrs. B.H. Mitchell, Ms. Debbie Bryant, and Mr. Stewart Greene. ♦ * ♦ « There will be a community watch meeting at the Fort Barnwell Volunteer Fire Department on Friday night, April 27, 1984 at 7 p.m. All people in Fort Barnwell are asked to please attend. % % 9|c ♦ Mr. Fonville Speed of Fuquay-Varina accompanied his son Graham Speed to Ft.

Jones Continued from page 1 estimated that a local firmgjk Barbour Boat Works, in onBr two-year period lost bidding opportunities on over ^16 million worth of work simply because the jobs involved vessels too large to pass through the bridge span,” said Chairman Jones.
