An offer made for these prop-;

it. We understand that since that!
time another appraisal has been
made and another offer “slightly

some properties on St. Mary’3 St.
j have been accepted by the city.!
i Why anyone should feel that land |

pretty hard to understand.
It is true that white people live

the big difference in the amounts (

ORCHIDS TO LIGON HIGH
SCHOOL—Two recent events
cause us to present this or
chid to the I. W. Ligon High
School. For the second year in
a row, the Ligon publication,
“The Tatter,” ha* won a high
honor in competition with
school journals from ail over
th* country. Then a couple of
weeks ago, a group of Ligon
boys and girls won the praise
i and admiration of hundreds
(maybe thousand*) o* view
; era by the very fine manner in
which they conducted them
selves during a TV dance con
test. These two happenings
are wholly unrelated, but th w
prove that our boys and girls
can turn in outstanding per
fnrtnanees whenever called
upon,
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE KKK—The operation* of the
Ku Klux Klan lift' been dealt
a stunning blow in this state re
cently. Prison sentences meted eu;
in Maxton and Ci rlotte have
been prompt and severe. We do
not believe, howevei, that tho.-e
trials and sentences will of them
selves curb the activities of the
Klan.
Lawless and other extremist
groups who either openly take Un
law into their hands or seek to
prevent the orderly functioning
: of all laws that do not meet the
approval arc usually the results
. of the political atmosphere pre
' vailing in the area of their op
, (-ration. It is futile hypocrisy for
state officials to decry the. lawless
activities of tiie.se groups, when
these same officers have sov n
I and continue to sow seeds of law
defiance and law evasion.
It is simply a case of “Monkev
see, monkey do”. Sure, it's a nice
i thing to have the Klan told that
i it* lawlessness will not be to! -
| crated in this state. On the other
; hand, wouldn’t it be nicer if those
; who are doing inis talking to stop
| encouraging the Klan to do the
| things it is told it must nor. do.

c>«l advancements demanded h
higher type of teacher who lias
standing in his profession as a
distinguished person.
Morrow led with a stinging
M statement, emphasizing that it
i will be difficult for those who ]
i have been getting by on a glib j
i tongue and poor scholarship to!
j accept the fact that there is no!
longer a place f>, them in tne;
(highly competitive system of;
i modern educatipn.”
Most shocking was Viis advice ]
; I that “now is a good time fori
poorly prepared teachers to set *
out the scfcoool.*”
After calling attention to the;
i impact of the Supreme Court tie-j
| cision of May 17. 1954, the speak-:
I ei stated it Is almost frightening
j and coincidental that the renais- !
j S3.nce in education should follow j
so close upon the crusade for:
integration in every phase of
American life.
“This.” he said, “will impose
a heavy burden on both Negro j
teachers and students.”
AS A CHALLENGE to the i
NCTA, Morrow suggested that j
(he single measurement of
achievement demanded that
meet that standard or
fail. It will not bp enough to
> be a qualified Negro gradu
ate but will be a qualified col
lege graduate period.”
Perhaps the highlight of Ids]
’ ; speech at this point was the ad-;
■ vice that teachers demand from;
1 1 their students the mastery of then !
'! moihei tongue, the English lang-!
1 ! uage.
i| "Not. only must we speak es
• fectively, but with measure of ar-;
t tistry,' added Mr. Morrow.

History Os Negroes in HC
Legislature, OS Congress
EDITOR'S NOTE: Recent \
newspaper stories carried the
announcement that Dr. Nelson
Harris of Shaw University, Ka
ieigh, will campaign in Wake
County for a seat in the state
legislature. To acquaint its '
readers with the participation
nf Negroes in the North Car
olina Legislature and V. 8.
Congress, the CAROLINIAN
will publish a series of articles
dealing with this subject. The
second of these fi'atured stories
appears in this issue,
j In 1804 when Populists and Re- |
i publicans merged, two Negroes j
| had their names listed on the coun- j
■ ty tickets f or the state legislature, j
They were James’Hunter Young. j
| of Wake County, and William H !
1 Crews, of Granville County, who i
j were elected to the N, C. General I
; Assembly as representatives in
JLS9S.
Wake County’s .Tames H. Young,
the outstanding Negro in the Gen
eral Assembly, at once became the
target of the daily press. But in j
spite of the widespread jo. rnul- i
istic criticism, James Yeung's high 1
p.-oition in the party was recogniz
ed by Speaker Zebulon Vance Wal
ter of the House of Representatives.
YOUNG WAS appointed to
the following committees: Elec
tion. Finance, Institutions .for
the Blind. Education, Judiciary.
Printing, Colonial Records,, and
chairman of the committee
which filled vacancies on the
heard of trustees of the state
suported Negro A and T f'ni-
Jege, Greensboro.
According to the noted historian.
Helen Edmonds, Young’s “position j
on such committees as election lav.
county government, finance, and ;
judiciary was noteworthy because •
around the results of these four j
committees hangs the crux of Fu- j
sion Polity's."
Political ■enemies could hardly i
call Young ignorant, because the (
persuasive manner in which he ac- >
accomplished things was testimony j
of his intellectual competence. We j
may attribute bis entrance into po- j
lilies, in a large way. to the ncu- j
men he exhibited in editing and i
publishing his newspaper. The Ga- j
tie.
