14 TIE CAROLINIAN RALEIGH. N. C.. SATURDAY. JULY 12, 1369 j News And Views BY J, B, HARREN JACKSON, Miss. - The NA ACP convention week here in Jackson, Miss., has been in teresting in many ways. The convention has certainly been -guarded by the police depart ment since the vanguard of dele gates arrived Sunday. Three white policemen (sometimes five! and two colored patrol men have quitely, but dili gently, watched over the largest band of civil rightersevertohit this towq since the marches for freedom led by Martin Luther King, Jr. The white policemen on duty at Masonic Temple on Lynch Street had a holiday before July 4t'r. rolled around, slice they only had to watch over the traffic and would sometimes walk into the lobby of the crowd ed building to survey the crowd. In the afternoons the Negro policemen (two) would be out side directing traffic while the ‘whiteys’ relaxed in chairs in the'shade on the opposite side of the street. Early in the week we walked over and asked the deputy chief ‘how many Negroes he had on his force.’ He replied: "You’ll have to ask the chief. He’s the one that gives out the in formation.” We didn’t ask any one of them anything else ex cept for directions to a place. Downtown, two to three or more policemen were on duty ia and at the entrance of all hotels and motels where Ne groes were lodged in the largest numbers ever for an NAACP convention. They were 24-hour duty, it appeared. Really tight security. We are sure they learned a lot about Negroes bv watching them last week in Jackson, and we don’t think they saw a single drunk or dis orderly one among us. Charles Evers chided the re mark of a delegate who said she shook hands with a police man here and she could nor do that back home in New Jersey. Evers told her to wait and see if she could shake hands with that policeman on Sunday. Evers was critical of the delegates who went sight-seeing and fail ed to tour the poverty ridden areas occupied by Negroes; and who failed to put on some type of public demonstration or pick eting protest against same, much after the fashion of Father Groppi, the Wisconsin Catholic Priest who led a group on the city council and created a scene. Groppi tried to make the mayor (Thompson) say if he was a "separatist” and tell what he had done for Negroes Zebulon BY MRS.

The mayor did not answer except to say that he had tried to be fair to all people and was sorry if he had failed; that he believed all people “mould be treated fairly “whether they deserved it or not.” Alex Waties, an area Negro leader, told the mayor he was glad his administration was going out. When the word broke Thurs day that the Nixon administra tion had relaxed the school de segregation guidelines, the spirit of rejoicing went over white Dixie and Nixon lost all hope he had left among his Ne gro constituents almost every where. Roy Wilkins and other Negroes who have continued to preach caution to Blacks were angered and disillusioned-- foresaw the high probability of racial disorders. As Capt.

JOHNSTON CENTRAL IS CLOSED During the 19th century, a few of the black preachers, deacons and laymen of the Johnston County Baptist As sociation and the Johnston County Sunday School conven tion started discussion on the need for higher and better ed ucation for the Negro youth of the County. They were Rev. William Jones, Rev. William Ellerbe, Prof. John W. Byrd, Deacon Henry E. Goodson, Sis ter Roberta Bunn and others. These devoted persons had hopes for the .future growth and development of the young peo ple of the black race. After a few years of careful planning, the Idea finally mater ialized and money was raised by church groups for the pur pose of building a hign school to be located on land owned by the Johnston Baptist Asso ciation located in Belmont, Smithfield. This humble beginning at liamson of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Mrs. Liz Rich of Clinton; three brothers, Mr. John Al len of Fort Wayne, Indiana, Mr. Gettie Peterson, Ingold, and Mr. Felton Peterson, Ingold. Also, her mother-in-law, Mrs. Rosetta Matthis, New Haven, Conn, and two grandsons. Many out-of-town relatives and friends were on hand to attend the funeral. tracted the attention of all Ne gro citizens not only in Smith field and community, but of the county as well, and it was a grand and noble beginning of a future for the Negro youth of the county. However, a build ing alone does not make a school, regardless of its size, attractiveness, location or cost. Therefore, the need for better facilities of the Township School being apparent, preparation was made by the local Board of Ed ucation of the Smithfield Town ship Schools for the transfer of its activities for the Association Building. After the close of the 1011- ’l2 session of the Smithfield School, the principal, being e lected for the next session, in the person of Charles 1,. Smith, was elected by the county Board of Education to assume the posi tion of Supervisor of the Negro schools of Johnston Count: be ginning September 1,1912, which lie resigned to accept. Knowing the situation and needs of the Smithfield School Community and County, the su pervisor while attending one of the special conferences of the Negro supervisors of schools in the states of Virginia and North Carolina, at Hampton Institute, Hampton, Va. In the fall of 1913, arranged a conference with the president of the Anna T. Jeanes Fund and the John F. Slater Fund. KINDNESS IN LIFE I would rather love one little rose ’’ From the garden of a friend Than to have the choicest flowers. When my stay on earth must end 1 would rather love one plea sant word in kindness said to me Than flattery when my heart is still and life has ceased to be. Bring me all your flowers today, Whether pink or white or red I’d rather have one blossom now Than a truck load when I am dead. Middlesex News BY MRS.
