He said Buie left the Pei

shotgun from his front porch.
The blast caught Buie in the
throat.
At Lenoir, Lorenzo Props'., 22,
has been bound over to Superior
Court on a charge of first degree
murder in the death of his half
brother, Richard Scott, 29 on June
6.
Propst was quoted by officers
as saying that he shot Scott fol
lowing an argument over room

say now that we have had re

enthusiasts for many miles
outside of St. Louis.
The affable owner, who also

j the Midland Hotel, 2935 Lawton

j ca 'out here in the midwest.”
Opening at Peacock Alley on Ju

known trumpet player. A gala
homecoming is being planned for
Miles, in that he hails from East
I St. Louis, just across the Mississip-
I pi River from St. Louis.

half ye ars ago via an amateur show
in Detroit. Michigan. His plaintive
style of blues quickly- caught the
| fancy of Detroit fans, and Willie
j worked pretty consistently arounu
i the Motor City area. His impres

| Duke Ellington and Count Basie,
! and he on many occasions sang
1 with their bands while they tra
veled in the Midwest. LITTLE
*i WILLIE JOHN finally joined Paul
I Williams and went on the road for
; an extensive tour of one-nighters
| ans club engagements all over the
I country. ‘
Several record companies were
interested in Willie, and several
sides were released. However, few
were su’d and those only to avid
collectors who recognized the lit
tle fellow's true value. Finally, he
signed with King Records, and his
first release for them, “AH Around
The World”, was a tremendous
success—but only in the New York
area. The tune had all but died in
New York when it began to ap
pear in scattered sections of the
country on the record popularity
prJls. “All Around The World” was
j what the trade calls a “sleeper“
j and sure enough. Little Willie
| John’s recording snowballed into
a smash hit. King Records wasted
no time in releasing "Need Your
Love So Bad". The public wasted
no time in going out to buy it, and
Litiie Willie John had another tre
mendous hit on his hands.
Today LITTLE WILLIE JOHN
has another hit recording “Fever”
which is among the first three of
the top ten throughout the nation.
“Fever” is number one in the Ra
j lcigh-Durham area. It is being
| played more than any other tune
| on the jukeboxes.

Shaw Gets
Check For
$60,000
RALEIGH Dr. William R
Strassner, President of Shaw Uni
versity has announced that the
University has received $60,000
which represents one-half of the
Ford Foundation Grant. The in
come from this sum will be used
for the increase of teacher salaries.
Dr. Strassner stated that the Ford
Foundation grant, points up a great
need of private colleges for funds
to aid in paying better salaries to
teachers.
It is hoped that other business
organizations and philanthropic
concerns will become aware of the
urgency of financially supporting
the cause of Christian Education,
and that, the Ford grant will serve
as a stimulus for other donations.

Colored And White Presbyterian
Synods Said On Brink Os ‘Mixing’
ASHEVILLE, N. C. (ANP)
Members of Mid-South (white) sy
nod and the Blue Ridge (Negros
synod are on the brink of consoli
dating into one organization. Both
are members of the Presbyterian
Church, U. S. A.
The Rev. C. A. Edington of Ashe
ville, member of a joint study com
mittee, said last week that the mer
ger has been recommended to the
two synods.
“We are now on the verge of fi
nal merger with the full approval
of the synods expected to put the
union into effect by 1957.” he add
ed,
' Later, he said, the merger would
probably mean some realignment
of presbyteries to eliminate over
lapping of white and Negro pres
byteries.
Mid-South, synod includes Ala
bama, Mississippi. Tennessee and
Western North Carolina. The Blue
Ridge synod covers much of the
same territory.
