ities permit. To attain these I
foals, however, these two races
must be separate, each living
within its own society. I know
no free, no open-minded
white man who will stand in the
way of the negro seeking to bet
ter himself; rather, he will offer
aid, help and encouragement.
North Carolina’s history and the
educational policies of our State
and counties prove this fact. I
will insist, however, as will every
right-thinking Southerner, as our
great Governor, Charles B. Av
cock, did when he said, “ . . .
that the negro strive and reach
these high ends without social in
termingling.” This method, com
plete segregation, is the only
answer to the so-called race
problem. It is best for the negro
race; it is best for the white
race and it is absolutely essen
tial for the peace and prosperity
of our State as well as of the
-•
entire South.
“It is my belief that these
measures, an anti-lynching law,
FEPC, anti-poll tax, non-segre
gation, and the like are direct
violations of our Constitution.
They are a distinct encroach
ment on the historic rights of
the sovereignty of the individu
al States. Rights for which our
forefathers fought and died and
for which the South gave the
very best of her life's blood.
Their enactment into law will
constitute a travesty upon the
high ideals of a free union of
States, each working together for
the good of all mankind.
"Some of these measures have
long been advocated by the Re
publican party, and the history
of this party has never been
sympathetic in respect to some of
ihe grave problems of the oouth.
The Republican Governor of New
York, and now a candidate for
the Republican nomination, fav
ored the establishment of an F.
H. P. C. in his State. Leading Re
publican members of Congress in
the House and Senate have pub
licly gone on record as favoring
me measure proposed in me
President's recent message to
Congress, and they have virtually
promised their adoption, if their
party is given control of the
country. For the good of the
South as well as the Nation such
control must not be allowed to
pass into their hands. The pro
posed Civil Rights measures have
been planks in the last several
platforms of the Republican
party. I have no reason to doubt
but that they will be stressed
even more in its 1948 platform.
These measures do not belong in
the platform of the Democratic
party. As a Democrat, I shall
strive, within the party, to see
that the South, which has nur
tured. supported and sustained
the Democratic party throughout
Us long and distinguished life, is j
not ignored in these matters ol'
national policy.”

One light hung on rear of cart

Drive carefully to town on mud

Missing Cook

Jackson, getting out of the car
at the post office in North
ampton County seat, saying she
was going to the home of Arthur
Davis, near Jackson.
But Beulah never arrived
there and, since she carried no
extra clothing with her when
she left, and only a small
amount of money, the Parkers
feared she may have met with
foul play.
Adding to their fears was the
fact that Beulah had been sick
since before Christmas and had
been in contact with “conjure"
doctors of her race in various
sections of the state.
Then came Beulah’s letter and
the solution of her "disappear
ance". Some people down in
Woodland were sick "and didn’t
have nobody to cook for ’em’’,
so Beulah went to work.

of 1948 is expected to be small

quarters of 1947. During the first
9 months most of the reduction
will be in beef. In the last quar

will be lower.
