As!Be from the great moral wrong created
by one race setting itself up as superior to an
other race, the sheer waste involved in segre
gation is colossal beyond imagination, One of
the worst aspects of segregation is that the
mental disorder that produces this dread dis
ease is so deeply rooted in prejudice and color
blindness that its advocates are not only con
tent to go on with it but try their utmost to
defy any attempt to change it.
It is hard to believe that there are rnen any
where who fail to realize the impossible burden
of trying to maintain the fiction of segregation.
Can it be possible that the responsible leaders
in North Carolina and elsewhere in the South
have never really come to grips with the cort
of this terrible affliction and realized the folly
of it? And it is all fiction, pure and simple
fiction as they must admit when whomever
they turn the results of racial intermingling is
increasingly evident Are we to conclude that
the basic reason on the part of the white man
for his insistence upon maintaining the farce
of segregation is his brutal desire to continue
to satisfy his heathenish lust upon the bodies
of unprotected Negro women during the night
while he shows his maniacal hyprocracy dur
ing the day by standing up in legislative halls
and bellow like a bull for racial purity and the
protection of the white race against mongrels*
ration?
It is time for the Negroes in this state and
elsewhere in the South to take the lead and
demand an end to the waste involved in the
near century old tradition of satisfying the
white man's lust at the expense of the Negro’s
pocketbook and the sanctity of his woman
kind. For all the attempts to belittle the taxer
paid by Negroes to support the schools and
other public functions in this state, the truth
remains that percentage wise, the Negro pays
as much in taxes as the white man. Propo
tinately, he pays more for the maintenance of
the sales tax supported public school system
because a larger percent of his earnings are
used for the purchase of items bearing tins
type of tax.
It is doubtful if such a strange condition
exists anywhere else in the world, a condition
where citizens of states are taxed to help sup
port the denial of their rights. To support a
state government as in North Carolina, where
part of their money was used to pay for a
special session of the legislature calied ex
pressly to enact laws designed to evade a
mandate of the U. S. Supreme Court which
said that segregation in the public schools
must end. Even though Negroes were taxed
The Good Old Summertime
The glorious summertime as we know and
live it today, with drive-in movies and grills,
short week-end trips to nearby beaches of
family jaunts in the car to far away places,
public maintained swimming pools and r< -
creation fields etc, are all a far cry frow the
amusements and diversions that supplied the
thrills for the summertime of yester years.
Those were the days of the swimming hole,
a darned off spot in a nearby creek where
the youth, along with some not so young, cool
ed their sun baked .exteriors, while keeping a
wary eye open for the all too frequent intrus
ion of water snakes. Those were this days
when the boys and girls would gather together
on the wide-side porches in the evening and
laugh §nd joke while eating home baked cook
ies and drinking lemonade and sasperaila tea
and heightened on Sunday evenings by that
oow almost forgotten treat of treats, home
made ice cream, which the younger members of
the household had been bribed into furnishing
the power for turning the freezer ''rank by the
promise of being given the dasher, dripping
the frozen goodness of this tasty delicacy.
The ranks of those evening get-to-gethers
were most apt to be thinned as the evening
wore on by the slipping away of couples bent
on a stroll down some nearby lovers lane in
the moonlight. The young swains who were
to rtunate enough to poses a rig or could bor
row their, parents or relatives, would treat
their lady loves to an exciting ride behind old
Dobbin.
Although those horse and buggy rides never
extended beyond an area of twenty-five miles
with a top speed of ten miles per hour, with no
stops for hot dogs and beer, they provided a*
many thrills, if not more, than 100 plus miles
high speed spins enjoyed by our modern-day
youth.
Then there were the railway excursions.
There bumpy hot rides to Norfolk in fragile
wooden coaches, with open windows that al*
lowed you to inhale all the coal dust from the
belching and puffing steam locomotives. You
got up early in the morning, the excursion
trains usually left the Union station about 5 or
6 a.m. and loaded down with provisions that
had taken the women folk practically all of
tht previous day to prepare. You were already
for the six or seven hour ride to Virginia,
There wasn't very much you could do after

liveable,
In the main, Negroes have proven them
selves to be loyal, conscientious, law abiding
citizens. They have no objection to paying
their just amount of taxes to be used for the
orderly and fair administration of government
but it is a revolting thought to contemplate
the payment of taxes to help support a gov
ernment headed by a governor who on several
occasion has had the effontery to tell the Ne
groes of tliis state that unless they volunteered
to be second-class citizens by accepting pub
lic school segregation dire consequences might
result. It is revolting to remember that al
though you are paying your assessed share of
taxes that with the exception of public school
teachers, among the thousands of state em
ployes, the only Negroes employed are a hand
full of janitors, messengers and laborers and
that now a systematic plan for replacing these
Negro workers with prison labor is daily be
ing carried out.
It is no secret that the real reason why the
half hearted attempt to establish a 75c per
hour minimum wage law m this state failed
was because the majority of the workers this
proposed law would have benefited are Ne
groes, another reason why the Negro taxpayer
has a just cause to be dissatisfied with what is
being done with, his tax'dollars.
Ibis state has paid and will continue to pay
a staggering sum of wasted dollars just as Jong
a? th s stupid segregation is allowed to con
tinue. But it is the Negro who is the real vic
tim of this injustice. He must pay for the de
bauchry of his women, the denials of jus
tice, the intimidation and stigma of second
eiur; citizenship and the robbery of his means
to help support these illegal practices, It is
no more conceivable that God* Almighty will
continue to allow this wanton abuse to con
tinue than to believe that He did not have a
hand m the ending of physical slavery in this
country.
Our task is to show our resentment in every
loyal way, to challenge every attempt mads
by the segregationists to evade or defy the law,
to, always conduct ourselves in a manner that
will show our Christianity and then let our
faun and trust in God’s goodness and just
await the demonstration of His power and
presence. This waste must and will be stopped.

Although the swimming hole, the evening
gathering on the side porch, the surry rides
and the excursions are now largely only mem
oiies of the past, the old fashion picnics some
what modernized of course, still pops up now
and then. These present day versions of the
sweetly remembered picnics of by gone years
will never compare in quantity and variety of
food that sent many small boy to bed with
bellyaches the night following the picnic.
The best way you could prepare for one of
those events was to stop eating several days
before picnic day and then never try to eat all
that was offered you, although there was bread
of every kind on hand. One very often dis
dained anything as commonplace as bread
and ate only cake with his hand full of golden
brown fried chicken and thick slices of boiled
ham. The tin bubs and wooden barrels of
lemonade might have been lacking in sanitary
safe-guards but they were not lacking in re
freshing goodness, in fact no one went to a
picnic in those days trying to be sanitary.
Usually there was a baseball game but the
players had all eaten far too much to run
bases and you might see the umpire standing
behind the plate with a harnhock in his hand.
The smaller fry enjoyed themselves with hop
skip and hide and seek, while the women folk
spent what little time left after serving the
huge dinner and clearing things away, talking
over old times. Oh yes, the lovers always
found a spot where they could get in a little
bit of wooing.
Perhaps, fifty years from now when auto
mobiles will have wings and distance will have
been totally eliminated, the people of that day
will look back upon the summertime practices
of this period and say “oh, how quaint and

Ruining A Reputation
In my early boyhood I knew
a man who faithfully attended
Sunday school to "argue" the
scriptures. He argued on every
point where argument, could
catch a toe-hold. There a»-
people like that who specialize
in asking hard and knotty ejue •-
tlons.
Very often they are habitu s
of barber shops and lake pride
in asking "wise" questions to
puzzle those they think are ed
ucated and should know. And
it is easy to ask even an tv ■
ucated person to question ie
doe? not know! Recently ont >t'
these a-rgurers bumped i o
the writer with old hncknc
quest ion as to whether a n »
could have his candy and eat
it too
Much to his surprise I an
swered in the affirmative to
the effect that a man could eat
his candy and have it too; be
cause when be eats it he has
it where it belongs and will do
the most good. Instead of lust
having some candy to loci at
and think about, when he eats
it. it is put to its highest i. ility
and builds strength and energy
and of course his are the
strength and the energy t. jre
fore he has his candy after he
has eaten it.
But. while it is possible to
eat, one’s candy and have it
too. it is not possible to destroy
one's reputation and have it
too. It is well that this b borne

long history of treating might
as right in its dealings with
Negroe< is too well known to be
conducive to full confidence.
Negroes had t.o resort to law
to gain moat of their- civil
rights and prerogatives they
currently enjoy and now the
Negroyhobes would intimidate
the laws by prescribing them
if ter Mich iashion that their
prejudices rather than the ends
or justice may be served.
The very fact that the trial

down shows that the Congress
of the United Stales lacks con -

wards its Negro citizens.
There is a lack of reputation
for the South just as there is
luck of reputation of this na
tion abroad. Patently there are
many nations which lack cor.
f idenec- in our democracy just,
as this nation lacks confidence
in the South's protestation of
justice and fairness.
Then, tno, the only hope
that the South's way of life
will not admit of a change that
will moan full citizenship for
the Negro is in the proposed
