publican who came to North
Caroline and made good, sam
last week "Mixing of the racer,
is not feasible in the South ‘
non ' At the same time, how
ever, the GOP minority leader
in the State Senate, said he \■-
believed “mixing of Negro and 1
white races will eventually ■'
come in Southern schools. “He
did not express an opinion for
or against integration, saying
only that Negroes will remain
second-class citizens until they
have equal opportunity with
whites. Cobb, speaking at a
press conference that preceded
an address, said that he was
very much in favor of the
Civil Rights Bill that passed
the Senate Wednesday.

Odds and Ends it
(CONTINUED FROM PACT 1) I r
recreation, etc. activities that ire t
strenuously carried on by the v
Klan, if seems to us that, those t
memberships were perfectly in or- t
dcr. f
It is quite understandable ! >
why two such highly-placed j
individuals as Senators Scott ; j
and Ervin would not want
tlieir names linked with such i
a vicious and law-breaking i ]
outfit as the Klan. What is *
not understandable, however,
is: why do Mr. Scott and Mr, i *
Ervin and the many others in
high places insist upon op
posing laws designed to give
Negroes equality and justice
and feci that they are above
and separate from organiza
tions like the Klan. whose
sole-stated purpose is the eon
tinuou* subjection of Negroes?
4 would seem that all persons
and particularly public offi- J
cials would realize that by
their opposition to the legiti
mate aspirations of Negro citi
zens they are giving aid and
encouragement to the Klan
and its kindred organizations.
If Senators Scott and Ervin felt
it was alright for them to affix
their signatures to a “Manifesto”
that said the action of the U. S.
Supreme Court in outlawing :
school segregation was “Null and
Void,” why would these two
gentlemen become angry because
an organization that believes the
same Saline, asks Them to become'
life members?
WELCOME ADDITION: The
addition of an assistant to the,
principal at the Ligon Junior-Seni- j
or High School here is a most wel- j
corned one. Although thus should
have born done years ago, that j
fact does not lessen its import-j
ance With an assistant, the new !
principal will be relieved of many j
of the petty details that prevented ■
his predecessors, from giving the
school the. supervision it should
have had. Today’s restless youth,
not only need adequate and
qualified supervision, it must have
it or there is chaos. An assistant
principal will help immeasurably
at Ligon. That, however, fs just
one of the many things needed |
! there. It is up to the parents to j
; determine the other needs and to ;
; press for their fulfillment.
SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED:
The report that several of the
"entertainment" places in and a
i round town are selling whiskey,
wine and beer to teenagers should
be looked into at once. Boys and
! girls have a tremendous job to*
! day trying to defend themselves
j against the onrush of temptations
! now besetting them from every
direction. These adults who .me
unscrupulous enough to throw ad
! ditional stumbling blocks in the
j path of these bewildered young
sters deserve to be dealt with as
! severely as the law will permit, j
: Persons having information about
i these illegal sales, regardless of
I whether or not they have children
! of their own, have a responsibility
| to report, this activity to the pro
-1 per law enforcement officers.
"Watch That Stuff;” . .. . !
"WATCH THAT STUFF:" A
! drunk was stumbling acroess S. j
| Bloodworth St., rear whwe East i
' Cabarrus intersects with Blood- 1
worth, Suddenly a car wheeled j 1
axound the corner right into the :
path of the tottering drunk jam- ’
tning his brakes so hard that the
car literally raised up off the
ground, the driver was miracu
lously able to avoid striking the
staggering man. As soon as the
driver had brought his ca,r to a |
stop, the drunk turned around
and, pointing his finger at the
driver said, "You better wash 'at
stuff, you mus want all the
street.”
BOYCOTT “ILLEGAL”: In or
der to compel Negroes to continue
to accept an inferior brand of
citizenship, ragardiess to what the ‘
law decrees, some Southern states
have passed la%vs making it a
crime for any group to band to
gether and do business with per |
sons partly or wholly responsible
for Inflicting those wrongs. So far,!
none of these "anti-boycott” laws;
have reached the T.T. S. Supreme
Court for a. test, of their consti- j
tutionality. They will, in all prob
ability, be overruled by that court
because, in effect, they say that
persons so afflicted must continue |
to help those who are responsible
for their afflictions to grow and
prosper at the expense of the af
flicted.
North Carolina may or may not
have such a law on its statute
books. Whether it does or does not
is secondary to the fact that. Ne
groes in this state should have
begun long ago to refuse to spend
their money where they can not
obtain employment, where they
are not fairly-treated and where
they arc called by their first
names or maybe "Auntie or
uncle”, if it, is illegal to want, to
work or to require respect from
those you deal with, the sooner i
that law is tried out and appeal
ed the better it will be for all of
us.

New “Negro’’ Schools
Nash County school officials
—like many elsewhere in Tar

fact that at least two new
school plants have been sup

colored pupils this year.

side and while he was there
he heard a commotion outside,
tiiaf he came out and found
Kellie Biggs attacking his wife,
that James Biggs came around
his car. threatening Moore ”
The officer quoted Moore ss
saving that, he (Moore) ran to his
car and shot both of them.

I found Biggs' wife lying at the

four empty shells, two No. sixes, |
and two No. fives. The right door j
of Moore's ear was open, the of-j
ficer stating he found three No. 5 j
shells in the glove compartment
The officer also stated he found I
nine bullets in the Biggs ear.
On cross examination, the offic- J
er said blood was on the shovel j
handle, and that, Moore's car was j
blocked.
Biggs, 33, was an independent
renter on the farm but worked in
the log woods. He had been ask
ed to move, Moore having ex
plained to the sheriff that he
(Moore) was afraid of the man,
that the children had had trouble.
It was said that one of the Biggs
children threw' a rock at one of
the Moore children last Thursday,
and that a fight followed.
While little mention was made
of the rifle, an examination show
ed that several shots from Moores’
gun tore into the stock near the
trigger, that the same shot tore |
away one or more of Biggs’ sing- j
ers.
Given hospital treatment., Mrs.,
Moore was scratched about the

bruise on her head, one report J
stating that she was struck once!
