Jackie Robinson In 1947, Branch Rickey did the un heard of—he put a Negro on the roster by the name of Jackie Robinson, a Ca’- ro, Ga., native who had made a good record for a young man already—four- sport man at UCLA and army lieuten ant. Mr. Rickey was inviting trouble, not only from other club owners, but from his own Brooklyn Dodgers, with several prominent stars from the Southland on his team, among them Shortstop and Captain PeeWee Reese and Outfieldei Dixie Walker. \ The Short Rows one. In North Carolina Here the contest is between a mod erate Congressman with a three-term record and a recent and veteran radio commentator who is conservative to the core — and proud of it as recently as Tuesday, according to press reports. Another interesting race is between Mecklenburg’s Jim Beatty, Democratic state legislator, and Jim Martin, county commissioner. Both being proven vote- getters at home and considering Meck lenburg’s predominant vote in that dis trict which includes Iredell and Lincoln counties, the battleground appears to be at home, in the contest to succeed Lin coln’s Republican Charles R. Jonas, who is reirlng after 20 years in Washington. Representative Jim Broyhill is ap- parentily a shoo-in to return to Congres and theother two GOP representatives, FeH Ruth and Wilmer Mizell, are favor ed to return. Otherwise the state looks Demo cratic for {rtate-wWe offices and in the other Congressional districts. As of today, .. __ There was even another trouble spot. Red Barber, the Dodgers’ radio an nouncer of that day, said on the CBS special Tuesday night, “I’m from South ern Mississippi and I started to quit. ’ He and Robinson became good friends. The mutual courage of Rickey and Robinson and Robinson’s quickly proved playing ability won the ballgame. Today, it wys said on the special, the 24 major leigue teams number 280 Negroes. _ jf test bPliving remains perform ance. The election is only 12 days distant. The polls of assorted varieties show President Richard M. Nixon ’way ahead of Senator George McGovern, with none observed here giving Representative John Schmitz chance of carrvmcT a sm- f le state and with a blank forthcoming . a his electoral vote column. The campaign has been an unusual Senator McGovern stampeded the Democratic convention, withal wound ing some feelings. President Nixon remains the favor ite, in spite of heavy criticism on sev eral incidents; the Watergate matter, the ITT 'business, the questionable wheat deal with Russia and its overtones of quick and cheap profits by insiders, and questions concerning the re-election campaign fund-raising. That’s ordinarily enough to beat a candidate. However, Senator McGovern’s meth ods of winning the convention did not endear him to his ordinarily own Dem ocrats and his pledge of ending the Viet nam business in 90 days poses the simple question of: How? He has toned down some of earlier conversation of share- the-wealth. There are some interesting races here at home in North Carolina, but the most interesting state-wide race is that between Representative Nick Galifia- nakis and his Republican challenger Jesse Helms. .1.3 a Wray Alexander Williams as he was interesting “Mr. Wray” Williams, fantiliarly known, was an and flavorsome person. As one friend remarked, “He was always smiling.” He was always jesting and teasing, too. Longtime servant and deacon emeri tus of First Baptist church, someone asked if he’d made a contribution on a projected trip of his pastor to the Orient. “Oh, yes,” Mr. Williams was quoted. “I gave it to him personally. I told him it was worth that much to be shed of him for awhile.” Mr. Williams for many years has been known as “Mr. Republican” in an area predominantly Democratic. He worked in his first election in 1896 at the age of 15, a year (and the last) the state elected a Republican governor. Mr. Williams was an able fanner and respected businessman. Many sought his advice and what they got was sound. He was probably as knowledgeable of area real estate values as any in the area. Ca.se in point was his sale o'f a tract to Kings Mountain Public Housing Authority, vvihich explained a ree’stered appraisal was required and that tHSs 'WAS the price that could be paid. Mr. Will iams value and the professional apprais al were $50 apart. It was after the 1960 campaign, when the Herald supported President Kennedy editorially, that Mr. Williams and Kelly Dixon paid call to state appre ciation for fair news coverage. Compliments like that don’t conje everyday. Roads And Streets Ever increasing traffic of autos and trucks continues to pose headaches. It may be a little busier with week end mountain traffic, but traffic was backed up on King street on recent Sun days bumper to bumper. 'The U. S. 74 thoroughfare, or by pass, has reached the surveying and presumably the drawing board stage. When completed there will remain right- of-way acquisition, contract letting and actual construction, hardly an over night series of chore.s. The Gold street widening and under pass (or overpass) is another locally needed project of which the Highway commission officials are well aware. Yet another area project long need ing attention is the Cherryville - Kings Mountain road, which, with heavy truck traffic, poses the same problems as did the York Road before its improvement. No Cuts, No Raises Skipper Bowles, candidate for gov ernor, reiterated here Tuesday what he was saying during th.e primary cam paigns, “No tax cuts, but no raises. I know sufficient money will be there to fulfill that pledge.” There have been times when oppon- nents and their supporters pooh-poohed the “no raise” pledge. Governor Dan Moore had campaign ed in 1964 on the same pledge. He kept it. Kings Mountain United Flfnd is halfway home in its current campaign. Halfway remains half enough. THE KINSS MOUNTAIN HERALD.
