J. $. FALLS LOOMS AS
GASTONIA'S NEXT RACE
COUNCILMAN
GASTONIA - Barring possible
providential hinderance, this tex
til capital of the South—popula
tion 35.000 —will have a new col
ored city councilman without los
ing the Ward Number Four post
gained by incumbent Nathaniel
Barber in 1853.
A last-minute guessing game of ,
political action on the part of the
race leaders here resulted in
James Q. Falls, insurance man
ager and IBPOEW (Elks) official, j
filing for the Ward Four council- j
manic post just ten minutes be- j
fore the 5 P.M. deadline April 6. !
This apparently caught the
w’hlte politics ofi guard since it
was reportedly generally expected
that incumbent Barber was going
to stand for a fourth 2-year term.
Barber had been elected in 1953,
1965 and 1957. In 1953 he was
chosen as city treasurer by his
white fellow-oounciimen and held
the city’s purse-strings for two
yews,
In private life Barber is secre
tary-treasurer of the Excelsior
Credit Union which is reputedly
worth nearly a haif-miilion dol -
lars. Fails is president of the fin
ancial institution which has been
a, bulwark in the economic life of
(his community for some 15 years.
Barber issued a statement
thanking the citizens-for a.U past
supgx»rt sukl stated as his reason
for withdrawing from the race (he
would have been automatically
reelected since no person had fil
ed against him* the condition of
hie health and the prompting of
his physician, along with the urg
ing of hi# family to reduce his
work load.
It to said here that during the
185 S contest one of Barber's white
opponents died suddenly and an
other became afflicted and Bar
ger was elected. In 1855 and 1957
Barber had no serious opposition.
Falls is said to have been the per
sonal choice of Barber.
CHARLOTTE - Colored citl
sens ctf the Biddlevilie community
mar J. C. Smith University, ralli
ed last week to raise a reward to
assist In the capture of a brutal
murder-robber who murdered a
friendly white merchant of the
community. They raised SSO in a
few hours and added more later.
This was said to be a ‘first’ on the
part of race citizens hereabouts.
84-ye»r-old C. D. Campbell was
found dead in his store by twm
small boys in mid-morning April j
6th, He had been stabbed 27 times !
and hit on the head 13 blow's, po

; nor a carton of cigarettes, it only
takes a little time and effort a
bout twice a year. Now that local
elections are being held all over
Tarheelia now. Why not get out
committee working to register our
people so our voice can be heard?
No where else can we be felt as
huch as we can be in the ballot
dox. Let our so-called leaders
come forth and teach our people
to register and vote, and W'hafc to
vote for.
We congratulate the Rev. Isaac
i Horton of Whiteville for his good
fight on the local scene as he ran
for office. Many Negroes will say
that a Negro should not run until
he is sure of having enough votes
to elect him. This you can never
be sui-e of. Therefore, one must
try and try, ‘again and again’ (as
FDR used to say), And Negroes
must learn to support their race
candidates. Political apathy Is our
curse and greatest hinderance to
our progress. Preachers and tea
chers can do much to alleviate
this condition.
We have observed that, per
centage-wise, Raleigh is no bet
ter off in fighting for civil rights
and political action than Rocky
Mount, where its almost nil. And
Durham, considering its great Ne
gro-millions and college potential,
is not far ahead of all others, ev
en tho we are proud of her. Too
many Caddies and the like and
not. enough business expansion by
those who are fairly well-heeled
to assist our underdogs. Think it
over. Then register yourself; and
teach and urge others to do like
wise.
