THE SOUTH S DEBT TO THE SI PREME COURT The speech of Senator Bailey is generally credited with hav ing been a major factor in the defeat of the President’s Su preme Court packing bill. It wa& an inspired and inspiring add ress which should be read by all citizens of North Carolina. It is a masterpiece of logic. The j Pilot wishes that it had space i to print the speech in full, but j it is probably available from the j Superintendent of Documents,! U. S. Senate, Washington, with-1 out charge, or from Senator | Bailey’s office. ‘ That the South owes its stat- j us of today to the Constitution and the Supreme Court is one point in the Senator’s able pre sentation. Said he: “After that Civil War, when men's minds were inflamed, and hate rath er than reason ruled, a Civil Rights Act was passe'^, aimed at the States of Senators who sit all about me. The verdict of history now is that that Civil Rights Act would have de stroyed the South, that Sherman’s army sind his march to the sea would have been a summer breeze compared with the overturning of our civiliza tion, the destruction of all its stand ards and traditions, the social equal ity of the Negro and his dominance in a thousand counties. We were helpless. The bayoneted soldiers of the Federal Government were there to put the Negroes in power, and give them their so-called rights under that Civil Rights Act. "There was despair in the South. We did not dream of giving up at Gettysburg. We could retreat like men. We did not despair at Appo mattox. We could rebuild a civili zation, and we did. But when we saw the Federal Government, in spired, as we now think, by hate ami prejudice and ignorance, undertake to impose upon us that humiliation, that disgrace, that ruin, that woe, our despair was overwhelming. But here was the Court; here was the Constitution. We were back in the Union, and the Court said that the Constitution was ours, and that the Congress had no power to determine the Civil Rights of our citizens, that that was a power in the States. And that ended the night. Today the South is what it is because of the Constitution and an independent court “Suppose Congress had had chargo of the courts then; suppose they had succeeded in adding six Justices or three Justices to determine that their acts were valid I am saying to the ' Senate the Sosth would have been a | land of the abomination of desolation , to this day. Thank God there was a ( Supreme Court. Thank God it was j free. Thank God there was a Con- | stitution. Thank God the truth of it I could be declared." j MumY CARO-GRAPHICS by JonbsJr DO YOU KNOW YOUR STATE?

Newspapering is lots of fun, but it has its trials and tribula tions. There are so many country papers these days that there is barely enough advertising to keep them all afloat. To make up the difference between black ink and red, the small town pub lisher must count on a certain amount of job printing busi ness. John Brown comes in the of fice one day and asks the editor to put a nice long story in his next issue about some affair to be held next w'eek. Mrs. Jones brings in another, the little Smith girl something else. The editor is glad to give the neces sary publicity to make these af fairs successful, even though there is no advertising in con nection therewith. Now, occasionally he attends one of these gatherings. He finds a program printed some- w'here other than in his shop. Frequently, not even printed in the home town. He notices that his shop didn’t print the tickets. Checking further, he finds that Mr. Brown, Mrs. Jones and the Smiths get their not<^ paper printed elsewhere. Mr. Editor has done his part, but have they? Is it quite fair to ask him to devote free space in his paper (and space is all a newspaper has to sell), then to walk out of his office and give their printing orders to the fellow' around the corner? New'spapers strive to build up a community. But they have a right to expect the cooperation of the citizens. EDITORIAL RAMBLINGS With the return of the boys from Myrtle Beach last week the local baseball season be comes history. The launching here of a team of youngsters to compete in the American Le gion’s Junior Baseball League, national in scope, was an experi ment, and it seems to The Pilot that it was a successful one. We had a creditable team for the first year; in fact but narrowly missed an opportunity to com pete in the play-off games for this division’s champion. We had a well behaved team, and a well managed one. Much credit is due those re sponsible for launching Junior Legion baseball in Moore Coun ty, the Sandhill Post of the Le gion, Postmaster Frank Buchan. Treasurer E. Levis Prizer and others. The games created much in terest throughout the Sandhills, Southern Pines has taken a deep interest in the federal de velopment at Hoffman from its inception. Many of those in charge of various phases of the work resided here during the progress of the work, and their neighbors and friends have fol lowed th^ir labors closely. The manager of the project, Frank Eatman, was among these. An other was Leon M. Wells, land scape architect, who drew the plans for Indian Camp Park and w'as for a time in charge of the nursery. Then, too, J. R. Page of Aberdeen was among those actively in charge of the work. Many others were employed. Naturally, therefore, there was a big turnout from here for the dedication exercises last Friday. The folks wanted to see what had been accomplished, they wanted to hear Governor Hoey, Congressman Cooley and the other speakers. And, pos sibly they wanted that barbe cue lunch. Anyway, it was an enjoyable day. And we all be came acquainted with a new Sandhills asset. There is no keener rivalry in this neck of the woods than that between two business women of Aberdeen. Mrs. Farrell operates Lloyd Hall and Mrs. Bryant The Lantana, two tourist homes on the main highway. When Mrs. Farrell does something to make her place more attractive, Mrs. Bryant springs something else the next day, and vice versa. Now each has a uniformed colored boy out front to lure the russing motorist, furnish infor mation and assist with luggage. With the spirit of competi tion so rife we cannot help but wonder what Mrs. Bryant or Mrs. Farrell has to say to her boy when she sees the other fel low toting bags into the rival domain. It’s been a little difficult try ing to explain to our five-yeai’- old son just what his daddy’s job is. Apparently he has fin ally mastered the idea. When we arrived home the other day he greeted us with this; “I coasted up hill this morn- ' ing. Daddy. That’s news, isn’t I it ?” I We allowed as how that was i news whereupon he insisted it j should go in the paper. I Here it is, boy. ei^AINS cr SAND Frederick H. Burke of New York and Southern Pines had breakfast Monday morning in Washington, lunched here, and had dinner that night in Baltimore. He flew down to inspect the work on the new Stony Brook Stables on Youngs Road whicn he and Will J. Stratton are putting up. board agent in his town, but spends j his spare time working at his hob- I bies, gardening and poultry raisini,. ! This summer he has a watermelon j patch and believe it or not, tiiis week he placed on the market a watermel- i on weighing 43 pounds. Can any other ^ mayor in the county beat that? Talk about carrying coals to New castle! A truck loan of cantaloupes passed through here early this week bound from Virginia to South Caro lina. A couple of Sundays ago Nat Hurd and Howard Phillips were tour ing Pinehurst’s No. 3 golf course when Nat laced out a terrific tee shot. Then, chatting happily with his partner anent the perfection of the shot, he sauntered down the fairway to a white pellet nestlin gon the green turf, unlimbered his brassie and took a terrific cut—at a toad-stool. Mayor H. A. Borst of Vass is Sea- I There is a little local historical touch in the present discussion in , Washington over the possibility of the President’s making a recess appoint ment to the Supreme Court to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Justice Van Deventer's resignation. Such appoint ments have been made but only ir. two instances have the appointee3 taken their seats with the court be fore confirmation by the Senate. Sev- j eral named when the Senate was no*; in session did not join the court un- ; til they had been confirmed, j One of these latter w£is Alfred Moore of North Carolina, for whom Moore county is named. Justice Moore was appointed by President John Adams in 1799, awaited Senate con firmation before assuming his duties.
