The federal district court order granting
Princ* EdwaMl CoiMrty of Virginia a seve*-
year delay in com|}lying with a faderal court
dss^gicflBtiM attdK- is a deliberaie auraendv
to the force* nf lawlessness in Virginia an4
the South. If the order meant that at the
terralnatioa of the seven-year period tiM
white people of Prince Edward Coaaty
would be in tbe laast juore coastrajLoed to
accept integratian, we Hwuld ke willing to
await that hoar. Mi^oas ia iJae Soutli have
waited nearly 100 years for full citizenship
and seven more years would ordinarily be of
little consequence.
The end of the sevoB-ycar period will see
the same organized resistaaoe, the same de
fiance of the highest court of the land and
the same determination on the part of scgre-
fhflntgtr to ka^p 4rmmmrf awl the |niniifcnii

the end of respect for all higher courts of the

decision is a surrender to the Ku Klux Klaa,

Spiritual Insight
“COME DOWN”
By REVEREND HAROLD ROLAND
Pastor, Mount Gilead Baptist Church
‘'As he }ouriie]red...Sttddenly a
light from heaven flashed
about him...” Acts 9:3.
With a heavenly flash, a man
was signalled by God al
mighty to come down in his
wild, violent career. Time
runs out on us In our wild ca-/‘
reers. The wheel of tiny
the wrong connection of his
gifts. His great passionate
genius was being used nega
tively and destructively. God
confronts him in his wild ca
reer. He was out to hinder
God’s plan of redemption. The
' '•> of heavenly light was
^ignal and call for him
catches up with us. The clov^'^flS^T ^down. If you are
of time strikes our bot^r. The wOTkit\Vy itr^od there is
trail is ended; we must come a flash. It 'ng—a call
down. It happened to the to come dowrt^ ^ ■
dashing, passionate young Our struggles against God's
iSdUl of 'I'^stis:'' thej^t- i signal-tire ia ^lovyftg
'JO— .*iti irian, had fought ags^inst the
signal for a long time. There
was an intense inner struggle
in his soul against the divine
signal or call. His resistance
was weakening all the time.
The blinding flash of spiritual
light brought him down short
of ills evil, ungodly destina-
t^m still prevain. In God's
etemal plans we must come :
down...“Suddenly a light from
heaven flashed about him” it
was God’s signal for the young
man to come down.
When God’s signal flashes,
we must come down. Yes,
strangely and mysteriously we
ar& Jjrnught down in tiie exe
cution of our ideas which are
against the wUI of God. The
young man of Tarsus was
abusing and misusing his great
God-given gifts. He had made
lion. God iias a way of irus-
trating our evil plans. The
Clash came and he had to come
down short of his destination.
Think, ponder in your wild
^reer and come down and
give yourself to God and his
blessed plans. Why fight and
struggle any longer 'against
the voice of conscience? Why
continue the vain, futile fight
against those nobler impulses
within? They are God’s signals
for you to come down.
What you receive wheh you
come down, it Ite more blessed
than what you gave up. Christ
gives salvation to the spiritu
ally enslaved. He gives rich,
full and beautiful life. He
gives peace fer :inner CoAXZiet^
He gives light for darkness.
He gives healng for sickncss.
He gives righteousness to the
sinful. He gives hope for de
spair. He gives love for hatred
and bitterness. And above all
he gives the hope of life abun
dant and eternal.
God’s signal still flashes in
the highways and bywaya that
men travel. For the righteous
it says full spead ahead. But
for the sinful it is a signal to
come down,| give your self to
God in Holy surrender.
McCarthyism Is Revived In Georgia
loyal American citizens.
Beneath the names of these
persons are listed what the book
let calls “incidents”—organiza
tions they have belonged to, ar
ticles they have written and so
forth, during the past 30 years.
There is no evidence whatever
that the organizations or articles
had anything to do with Com
munism. They are simply cited,
like a criminal record, and
would be meaningless, in them
selves, to the great majority of
persons who might read the
booklet.
The booklet is lull of the type
of smear that was used against
Dr. Graham in the Smith-Gra
ham Senatorial primary cam
paign of 1950, to the everlasting
disgrace of North Carolina. One
of the 37 “incidents” listed undert
Dr. Graham’s name in “Com
munism and the NAACP” is, for
instance, the fact that in 1938 he
signed a letter for the Commit
tee of Boycott Against the Japa
nese Aggression—certainly a
thoroughly patriotic act—but
Ihe letter happened to appear in
the ConHnunist newspaper, “The
Dally Worker.” Dr, Graham la
or was a member of the
NAACP’s “Committee of 100” as
were or are many line AmericMi
citizens^ut the fact that he
signed a Jetter that was publish
ed in The Daily Worker in 1938

One of the most extraordinary
•documents that has comc to our
dealt in a long time is a booklet
titled, “Communism and the
NAACP” which arrived with a
covering letter on the stationery
of the Georgia Commission on
Education (complete with a re
production of the seal of the
State of Georgia thereon).
The letter states flatly that in
the booklet — the second such
one that has been sent out — is
listed “the Conwnunist affili
ations of the national leadership
of the NAACP.” This material isi
said to have come from the,
fSorida Legislation Investigation
Ckiinmittee. The letter concludes,
somewhat mysteriously, “Thesel
;materials ^ould further contri-
hute to your understanding of
nic^l. problems.”
In the 101-page booklet, with
out a single word of explanation
or documentation other than the
brief citing of various letter
heads, magazine articles and
other such itwns, are listed mone
than 50 persons, most of them
white, who have some, con
nection with the N.^-CPi
largefy •members of the organl'
such a project as this which
Georgia has undertaken does to
genuine racial understanding
and to the South! One expwjcts to
find ignoranc^ and bigotry at
the KKK level, but not, of all
places, in the office of a State
Commission on Education.
The letter accompanying this
k>ooklet bears the names of the
Governor of Georgia, the Attor
ney General, the Chairman of
the State Board of Eductition
the State Superintendent, the
Chancellor of the University
System, 10 Congressional Dis
trict representatives on the Com
mission on Education and other

I believe the worth of a per

what the Negro lacks is self'
confidence. There never was a

original force was so much in
demand as now. The namby-
pamby nerveless man has Uttla

We need a leader in the mcQM-

that leadership carries with it a

TO THE EDITOR:
The CAROLINA TIMES
The Negro is at the cross
roads, but why stand there gaz
ing at the sky. How can he ever
expect to get up there If he
never trieanow. This HieUever:-
that it’sNtime he entered into the
field of \manufaciurlng. I read
about -the Ptegi>e and -the -extent
of his progre^in i^ny fields...
The country, world, is
offering a chaUenge to the Ne
gro to enter the field of manu
facturing. Will he take up this
challenge or will he stay at the
crossroad? The Negro’s salva
tion lies in the above-mentioned
field—he must become a pro
ducer. The one with the know
how and ambition and a strong
desire. I believe there are many
Negroes standing ,willing and
ready to cast their lot in this
direction with time and -money.
I believe the Negro has in the
race, men of ability and clah*-'
voyance to tackfe this problem.
