STITCHING TIME By NELLE NOALL A few days ago I picked up a copy of The Vagabond, a little magazine published in Mass achusetts, and oddly enough turned to the exact page that carried an interesting story in which thread played an import ant part. There was a beautiful princess in the story, but she was also an unhappy princess. Her royal father had issued a proclamation advising all eligible male sub jects that he would never con sent to his daughter’s marriage until the prospective suitor prov ed his worth in open competition to the satisfaction of the king.

As time pass ed the princess became increas ingly alarmed, since she had no intentions of being an old maid. And, to further complicate mat ters, the princess secretly fell in love.

At last the great day arrived and the two young men present ed themselves at the castle. They were shown to the throne room where the king and his court a waited. Then the king sent for the princess. A hush fell over the vast room when the young wo man escorted to her father who sat on the throne. Everybody was curious about the terms of the contest.

Then the shrewd young prin cess proceeded to put short thread in the needles she handed the man she loved and long thread in the needles for his ri val.

Negro Worker's Eye Gouged Out By Cop In South Carolina {oil Cheraw, South Carolina — Cartha Johnson, Negro furni ture worker, had one eye goug ed out, and may lose the sight of the other as the result of a pis tol-whipping in the local jail here. Johnson was taken to the jail after the white watchman at the furniture factory where he works had ordered him from the place because he had come to work an hour early. Johnson objected to slander ous remarks made by the watch man, who then called a cop. The cop manhandled Johnson. Johnson objected again. The cop then threatened, “Who are you talking to, n_r? I’ll fix you when I bring you in.” He then forced Johnson into the police car and took him to jail, where he beat him with either a gun or a night-stick. Johnson lost consciousness. The brutal beating took plaee a short distance from Aiken, S. C. where police gouged out the eyes of Isaac Woodward, a Ne gro veteran, in 1946. In reporting the Johnson in cident, the Civil Rights Congress declared that “The growing ter ror and brutality against Negro citizens, in the North and the South, is part of an official pol icy of U. S. government, federal and state, and including all branches.” WILLIAM A. BURDEN, Pri vate Detective, 421 Catherine Street, Ahoskie, N.
