John Moore Has A $500
Note That's Legal, But . . .
John M. Moore has a note for
$500, but he's going to have to
wait a while to collect It.
There's nothing wrong with the
way the note is made out ? it's
in due form, and printed, signed,
etc.
The only trouble Is it's payable
"two years after the ratification '
of a treaty of peace "between the
Confederate States and the United
States."
The Confederate note is dated
February 17, 1864.
Mr. Moore also has a $5 Con
federate bill bearing the same
date, and one dollar bill issued
by the State of South Carolina.
The latter is dated "Sep. 6 A. D.
1861."
Mr. Moore, whose home Is on
White Oak Street, does not re
member details of how he came
into possession of the currency, <
which has been worthless for
nearly a century.

Unusual Family
Reunion Held
'Over The River'
- 1
A remarkable family reunion
was held "over the ilver" ihe j
week-end of August 12.
It wasn't at all unusual for j
the number present. But it was
extraordinary for other rea
sons:
First of all, it was the first
time in 10 years Mrs. J. S. Sloan
had all of her children at home
at one time. Second, Mrs. Sloan
bore eight children ? and they
are all living. Finally, Mrs.
Sloan herself is remarkable;
though she Is 90, she took the
inevitably crowded and confus
ing week-end in her stride,
looking after the comfort of
each son, daughter, and in-law i
as though he or she were an
honored' guest.
Children and in-laws here for
the week-end reunion were:
Mrs. Reby Sloan Tessier and
W. N. Sloan, both of Franklin;
Mr. and Mrs. J. R. (Dick)
Sloan, of Milledgeville, Ga.; Mr.
and Mrs. Harold T. Sloan, of
Franklin and Miami, Fla.,
Misses Timoxena and Eleanor
Sloan, of Miami; Mr. and Mrs.
Carter S. Sloan, of San Saba,
Tex., and Mr. and Mrs. I. L. I
(Carolyn Sloan) Easton, of Le
noir City, Tenn.

WOULD PLAN
HASTEN
INTEGRATION?
local school units make max
imum use ol the authority
granted by the assignment act.
The committee has advised lo
cal boards of education to "de
clare that initial assignment to
schools will be made in accor
dance with what the assigning
unit (or officer i considers to be
for the best interest of the
child assigned, including in its
consideration, residence, school
attended during the preceding
year, availability of facilities,
and all other local conditions
bearing upon the welfare of the
child and the prospective ef
fectiveness of his school." This
advice of the Pearsall Commit
tee ought to be followed in
good faith.
Many All-Negro Schools
No assignment of pupils could
be based upon color, but that
does not mean that every school
would have to be a mixed
school. Assignments could be
based on place of residence.
The practical effect of such as
signment in many areas of the
state would be the maintenance |
of ail-Negro schools. Negro pu- [
pils living in residential dis
tricts inhabited exclusively by
Negroes would attend schools
provided in those districts.
It is reasonable to expect that
the parents of many Negro pu
pils living outside of strictly
Negro residential areas would
choose to send their children
to schools with 100 per cent
Negro enrollment. Thus what
Governor Hodges calls "volun
tary segregation" would come
into play to relieve much of
the tension accompanying the
educational transition. And in
the absence of a threat such
as would be dangling over the
head of the Negro In the form
of the Pearsall Plan's "escape"
provisions, there would be rea
son to expect a more extensive
practice of voluntary segrega
tion than if the state were pur
suing what the Negro regard
ed as a policy of evasion or
"compulsory voluntary segrega
tion."
Moreover, county and city
boards of education, acting in
good faith without evading the
law against color discrimina
tion, could make assignments
of pupils on the basis of fac
tors other than residence or
parent preference, as suggested
by the Pearsall Committee, and
such assignments further would
reduce the mixing of the races
and the tension.
The strong probability is that
the integration occurring under
such a course as we have out
lined would be relatively light,
tions on whether to retain
Tension would not be ?reat.
Adjustment could be made
without disruption of either ed
ucational or community life.
The 'Safety Valve'
And the course we have out
lined would not be without its
"safety valve." The safety valve
would be an appeal to the
courts for relief from real hard
ship or any demonstrated in
tolerable situation. The Su
preme Court has called for good
faith in "compliance with the
segregation ruling, and it has
called for a prompt and rea
sonable start toward compli
ance. But it has recognized that
in some areas compliance might
encounter serious difficulty and
could not be rushed. In its fol
low-up decision of May 31, 1955,
the Supreme Court declared
that once a prompt and reason
able start has been made to
ward freeing a school system
from racial discrimination "the
courts may find that additional
time is necessary" for carrylnf
out the segregation decision
but "the burden rests upon the
defendants to establish that
such time is necessary in the
public interest and is consis
tent with good faith compli
ance at the earliest practicable
date."
From that decision, it may be
judged that the basis of a re
quest for relief In cases involv
ing hardship or Intolerable con
dition would be good faith. A
major weakness of the Pear
sail Plan is that the Supreme
Court likely would not interpret
a plan providing for resistance
of Integration by abolishing
schools as a plan conceived in
good faith.
The course we have outlined
avoids that weakness. Accep
tance of the Supreme Court de
cision against segregation,
movement toward compliance
with the law of the land, hon
est use of the Pupil Assign
ment Law, and rejection at
evasive procedures like tuition
grants and local option elec
schools would constitute a plan
likely to pass the Supreme
Court's good-faith t?ak.
But above all, it is a plan
that avoids opening the door to
destruction of the public school
system and also is a law-abid
ing plan under which there
would be no flood of integra
tion. The first step in adopting
such a plan would be to kill the
Pearsall amendments at the
polls on September 8.
