TARHEEL LA GOES BACKWARD
ROCKY MOUNT 'Backward,
Oil Backward! Turn Time in Th.v
Fligrit; Make me a Boy again ,iust
for Tonight” These were the
words cT a sad old man who, when
he iOPked upon the feminine
beauty of an age he no longer
cOulii master —yearned for the ca
pacity of indulgence of yesteryears.
Perhaps the theme wish of those
who so devoutly espoused—with
out compunction the so-called
Pearsall Plan (to give local com
munities the right to vote to close
them schools if even one Negro
dared to enter! would be: "Make
Me a Slave Master again, just for
a Night.”
If their wish come? ‘rue. it 1
•hocking to think what WOULD
happen
We do not see that the officials
of the Stat* have anything to be
proud of, even though 1 they did
succeed in stirring the emotion?
of otherwise peaceful citizens to
the extent that they voted over
whelmingly for a measure which
many of thfm will live to regret
as * result o? not realizing the
great potential ni walking bnett
wardness in the arnmendment.
vv '•'iif it I? true that Charier
Brantley Ayeock, known as the
“educat’-'inni governor,” was not
an integrationist: he plead for jus
tice in a!! the people and sought
obedience to the law.

administration will never rise

sung, led by the pastor, Rev, W.
D. • i son
Thi. pastoral prayer and choral
response was given by the chon
Scripture le,<son was read by the
j pastor from St. Matthews 16:21-26.
j The soul-stirring prayer was led
j. by the Rev Mr. Womack, a form

text. Matt. 16:24. "Then sad dost,.,
unto his disciples if arty man will
: come after roe let him deny him
j self and take up his cross and foi
j low me.”
) The minister asked how many of
