Kerr Scott was among the first to take a stand, this week on the Supreme Court's controversial decision which declared segregation in schools un constitutional. He said he was opposed to negro and 'white children attending the same schools and promised to work in the Senate and to stand with Governor William B. Umstead to "'preserve the things that are dear to all the, , people Nof North Caro lina. Scott said the segration issue must ot become a controversy in the present Senatorial campaign. ' "I feel certain that no candidates would favor the end of segregation, and I am sure they will join me In hope and prayer that we can avoid stirring' up fear and bad feeling between races in North Carolina. Such fear and strife should be avoided, and we can avoid it if we will, "he said. 'Scott said he "had hoped that the Supreme Court would reaffirm its own historic decisions approv ing equal but separate school faci lities and services for members of the; white and negro races." He said, "I have always been Op posed, and am still opposed, ' to negro and white children going to school together."

The home of Mrs. Floyd Strickland, especially deco rated in keeping with the theme of the service, provided an effective setting for the occasion. Miss Mollie Hart, of the Kinston B and P W Club and candidate for state recording secretary, was the guest speaker and director of the ceremony. "God's Flower Garden" was her chosen subject and she presented "God as the Master Gar dener and the Club as His garden." The membership were the flowers of the garden to be cultivated, de veloped, and used in keeping with the Gardener's plans. Miss Hart emphasized that the Gardener had control upon his plants: some were appointed to bloom at certain sea sons and others to serve as foliage background - each vital to its own place in the total landscape of the garden. Without an appropriate background or foundation (the club membership) the flowers in full bloom (officers) could not fulfill their purpose as effectively.

(Bob) Grady What is a government without a people and what is a people without an opinion? Can ' the opinion of "nine old men", the Supreme Qouft of r the United States, change the habits, customs and , traditions of the people of Duplin. County, North' Carolina and the entire South by merely writing a document and signing their names thereto? I say no. .-i: -f i I am not opposed to the Constitution of the' United States. I believe in our Constitution and the. principles of the executive, judicial and legislative form of government. But when a Supreme Court interprets an amendment to the Constitution and in so doing admit they do not know the meanirig and intent of the writer or writers of that amendment when it was written then iteems to me $hey are taking an arbitrary interpretation' of the amend- ment. I do not believe the founders of our country intended that a Supreme Court should use their powers and functions to tell the people how they ' must live from day to day with their neighbors, how they shall or shall not educate their children (Continued On Back) Ifs ABOUT P. M. A, . ; by J. R. (Bob) Grady Somebody is lying in fact and lying by infer ence and those somebodies know to whom I am. referring. I learned a few days ago that stories are going around that Bob Grady refuses, has said he flatly refuses, to publish the 1954 tobacco allotment quotas. This is a lie, pure and simple, calculated to. damage the character of Bob Grady and calculated to cost him votes for the State Senate on May 29th, THE FACTS: Several weeks ago when the ASC (Former P.M. A.) again came into the limelight I made every ; investigation I possibly could, based on facts and! not hearsay or some individual's charges. I heard a , number of charges made against the P.M.A. ancE, ! some of its officers. I asked the person making the charge to-provide the facts and he refused;: I asked 7 " him to let me quote what he was'saying and he re-i fused. (I am using this in the singular f or purpose of explanation. It occurred a number of times). I met with the State Committee in the Agricultural i Building here and we discussed the matter. They told me they were here for the purpose of straight ening out some irregularities. They did not tell me what they were.. I told them I had written Raleigh i and had secured permission to publish the 1954 allotments and they told me they would be made available when completed. I was told by the local office that as soon as they were available I could : get them. Three times in recent weeks Mrs. Mar garet Tucker of the Times staff has been to the office to see if the list was ready and she was ad- ' vised that as soon as it was ready they, would let us know. To date the Secretary has not so advised. : Last week two citizens of Kenansville town ship met me and told me the list was ready. I did not consider that as coming from the secretary. I i told the two men that in as much as we were in the ; midst of a Primary I did not think it wise to pub- v lish the list, if it were ready, until after the Primary because I thought there was already enough stink ! about the P.M.A. and there was certainly no need ' to stir it anymore during a political campaign.-1 ' told them that just as soon as the Primary was over I would publish the list. I continue to state i that when the Primary is over and the list is made available it will be published in The Duplin Times - 1 and let it fall where it may. I know that those going around making such false statements are not vitally interested in the welfare of the P.M.A. at this time,, judging from their lack of discretion. They are primarily interested in seeing certain candidates defeated and are trying to use me and The Duplin. Times in their efforts to discount some candidates. ' To me this is rotten to the core, just as rotten, if not more so in principle, than their charges against any P.M.A. Officer. I am not defending theP.M.A. nor I anyone else, I am merely charging that this is hit- : ting a pretty low level by some who would lead his j fellowman to believe he is interested An the welfare of the P.M. A. and his county first - I think it is time that the Northern and South- i ern ends of the county get together and quit fight- ing and squabbling over the P.M. A. There are irre gularities, no doubt, and have always been and -there will always be in a thing as large as this and -1 the only way to keep them at a minimum js for the farmers to quit throwing charges against each other ' ' and get together as decent men should and work out the differences. Also I think it is high time 6ome , of those who are continually making charges to quit charging with their tongues and go to charging with work and efforts. If you believe those in charere of the P.M.A. are crooked and corrupt get busy and ; : do something about it and quit calling on someone 1 else to fight your battles. Either put up or shut up " and if you have to tell stories tell them straight and i be honest about it ' ' , " " VKlCfv'rtsN CENTS tnnrnrnl A lie "v:t?J'.1'' ' !
