' Last Monday the Supreme Court set aside the practice of segregation , in the Souths I say South because it was aimed directly, at the SouthThe "nine old men" say in effect there is no such thing as races anymore in the Southl They say that the habits and customs you people have built up over , the past three hundred and more years are now no longer in effect The gains the Negroes have made in the South and particularly in Duplin Coun- ty and Worth Carolina have flown out the window. , You must go back at least fifty years or more and start all over again. All the thinking andplanning ' on the part of the White .people and Negroes to improve the lot of both have been wasted You must now do as we say, not as your conscience, reason and custom directs. you. H' m - ' v " i- . Do "nine old men' in WashingtpouCity have v' such a power over people? If so then'we might as ' well scrap our constitution and call the whole thing off. They say it is a good world policy for us; they , say it is the Christian thing to do. Would Christ have acted in such a manner? When he came to earth to save all people he lived among and associat V ed with all -races and classes. He, did not question the social customs and functions of the day as such. He said "Render untovCaesar .that which is Cae- . sarV. He delighted in " seeing a people improve their lot and go forward. Here in Duplin County, since the Civil War, we have had no trouble between the Whites and Negroes. I'll challenge anyone to show me a finer, prouder and more determined race of people than the Negroes in Duplin County. They are proud of their race and want to go forward under their own power. They are not opposed to segregation in our schools and in our social customs. They don't want to see the great gains they have made in the educa tion of their race in our county thrown to the winds. They want to continue to improve their education and show to the world that the Negroes of Duplin, County are proud of their race and of iheir progress. Our White people demand segregation in schools and I don't believe either race in Duplin is going to stand for such nonsense. I - Duplin, White and Colored, let's take up the banner of self-rights and fight this ;demon from Washington with everything we have. Let's make our plans to open our schools next fall as usual and go along just as we have been doing. Let's not let some outsiders tell us what to do. I believe if we proceed in this manner, with no disturbances, with reason and toleration for our fellowman and our government but, with a firm determination to do the right as we see it, we will win out. No we do not want our races mixed in our schools and let's not allow it. Our money is paying the bill and we want to run our schools as we see fit. We want our Negroes in Duplin to continue to have a voice in their schools. We want them to con tinue to go forward in every phase of life under their own banner and judgment. Duplin let's fight this thing. If you elect me to the State Senate in the Primary on May 29th. you may rest assured I will go to Raleigh and fight with all I have to kill this monster from Washington City who tells us we must live, breathe and act just as it dictates.

With his passing, the matter of a success; r was laid once again to the choice of Governor Umstead. Only. once, before in modern United States political 'history has the situation been duplicated. In 1938 Governor Dave Sholtz of Flor ida was forced by deaths to fill two Senate vacancies within a matter of weeks, . .'. . . ., Had Senator Hoey died before the filing deadline of the May 29 Democratic primaries, the door would have been thrown open to candidates seeking their party's nomination. But since his death came after that deadline, North Carolina statutes confer upon Gov ernor Umstead the right of appoint ing a successor to serve until the general elections of next November. The statutes also confer upon the State Democratic Executive Com mittee the right to nominate the party's candidate for the ' Senate in those general elections. Pre sumably, but not necessarily, the committee will bestow its blessings upon the man whom the Governor appoints and who will already be serving. There was no indication yesterday as to when the Governor would make the appointment. Theoretical ly, he could wait and let the Dem ocratic Executive Committee meet and nominate a candidate for the November elections, then send that man to Washington as his appointee. However, it is considered likely that the Governor will make the hi JJmC)iie:: initial choice and "that committee defeated by Willis Smith of Ral- who are not provided this special blessing through their own" church. Through the Vacation Bible School the Baptist Church seeks to have a part in God's work of making "promising youth from un promising homes and situations." Baptists do not judge the worthiness of any individual; they seek to ful fill the command of Christ and leave the results with God. No local reward, recognition nor praise is expected. "Well done, your mission accomplished" is the aim of every Baptist adult worker who ministers in the name of Christ through either of the church organizational activities.

Since the pre sent committee and the incoming committee probably will : be equally sympatheticXo the Umstead administration,, the change is like' ly to have little effect upon the endorsement of the Umstead 'ap pointee. Governor ' Umstead, probably, is under considerable, ' pressure to make his appointment without de lay., Since Senator .Lennon, now the state's senior senator, is cam paigning in North Carolina and will be able to devote little atten tion to his senatorial duties until the May 20 primary, the death of Senator Hoey leaves North Carolina virtually without representation in that body. Democratic senators themselves may urge that the gov ernor act immediately in vier of the delicate balance , of power in the Senate at this time. The Dem ocrats had g razor-thin majority, with 8 Democrats, 47 Republicans and. one independent ' Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon and Hoey's death cut the number of Demo crats to 47. Hoey's unexpected death was the third for North Carolina Senators since the veteran Josiah William Bailey's death at his home in Ral eigh on December 15, 1948. With Bailey's death after serving since 1930, then Governor R. Gregg Cher, ry turned to the present Governor Umstead to fill the vacancy, ' Umstead went to Washington to be defeated in 1948 by popular, former Governor J. Melville Brovj ghton.
