12 larttuoumur WEEK ENDING SATURDAY, MAT !«. IMS MEWS k J.B.HARREN VIEWS WHAT DOE S MAY 17th MEAN TO YOU? ROCKY MOUNT During the past half-century our nation—-and the world—has celebrated Armis tic Day (now Veterans' Day), V.E. Day, Pearl Harbor Day, Korea Day and many others. But five years ago—May 17th, 1954—the U. S, Supreme Court placed a new interpretation on the U. S. Consti tution when that august body de clared that Tom Jefferson and Company really meant colored folks, too, when they wrote that immortal document with their goose-quill pens. Do colored people really be lieve that the Constitution means all <rf tis? Or. have we »o long been conditioned with the slave-com plex «f being satisfied with being half-free and half-slave until we just don’t want to go out of the stable or pasture after the gate ha* been left open for us’ A.e we just willing to die in the wilder ness of second-class citizenship bdoau&e most southern whites have kept from u* the better things of life by forcing immoral conditions upon us so they could say all man ner of evil against us because they have kept us down and stripped us of our manhood and woman hood to the extent that we just feel we are inferior? Well if we feel we can get by wife that kind of life, we should see enough of the changing times to know that our children cannot get by that way. They will have to compete with the best trained people of all races—black, brown, white red and yellow—from a hundred different countries around the globe. Therefore, our youths should at tend and participate in all the or ganizations where they can con tact different nationalities when ever possible In that connection Hopping About TARHEELIA By Jay Bee Aytch BRUTAL MURDER-ROBBERY IN ROCKY MT. ROCKY MOUNT Perhaps the most savage or beastly murder and robbery to occur here for quite a while happened Friday morning. May 1, when Mrs. Lucy Lewis, age reported as ‘‘near eighty years” was brutally bludgeoned to death with a 3-foot pick handle in her home at SIS Shearin Street where she lived alone except for a few roomers she kept. A aommotion was heard in the home by neighbors who went to investigate and called police, who rushed the injured woman to the hospital where she died, according to a reDOri issued by Police Chief J. t. Nichols. Suspicion pointed to one Johnny Jones, a roomer in the home, who ■was apprehended upon the tip of a taxi operator. Following a pro longed questioning, Jones report edly confessed to the attack upon the life of aged Mrs. Lewis and the robbery. Jone* allegedly stated that he had the pick handle to use as a “persuader” to obtain payment of an "unpaid! debt," claiming he “needed money.” Finding the al most helpless old lady alone in the kitchen, he proceeded to carry out his plan by beating her and taking the money, leaving as a neighbor entered. When the neighbor left to call officers. Jones, reportedly told police that he returned to finish the job. evidently realizing that , should the victim remain alive she snifht identify him. Then it was tfcat he discarded the bloody pick handle in the yard as he fled.
