Ii It Is to be a clear- cut referendum to decide whether North Carolina is to be completely dry state; or a completely wet one, my answer is yes. QUESTION 2. 1 am positively op posed to this and will stand up and be counted for my convictions. I don't think a member of one branch of the Legislature should go much further than to express an honest opinion about a rule the other has or proposes. , v more to do with selection of teach- QUESTION 3. I will never vote knowingly to abolish the voting privileges of municipalities and minority groups for something they had absolutely nothing to do with so far as I know about. QUESTION 4. I would support a Statewide bill against legalized gambling, but would like to see it submitted to a vote of the people if there were considerable public sentiment expressed for it being put to a vote of the. people. STATEMENT: As to my convic tions as to the best way to handle the liquor problem. Make the man ufacture and sale of liquor legal nation-wide and reduce the tax on it to where it could not be made and sold profitably undercover. The answers and statement made are my own and no one else had anything to do with preparing them.

EXCHANGE '; ' y Warsaw, N. C v J (Continue. From Front) I am happy over my color. A man is a man regardless of his olor. We are all In favor' of better -schools and I think as a whole we all feel the same way. There are my friends. They give me a friendly wave of the hand and I return the gesture. We are all one body in -Christ. As for mixing the races in school -r- No I dont think my people want that , James Sam Miller, Route t,' Box 112, .Warsaw,- farmer who .tends more than 100 acres: "I wish they (Supreme Court) had let . it stay like it was. I'll be glad to help get up a group to do anything to get our schools , separate. I was 'with a group at a sick woman's house last night. . There were about 24. of us discussing it. All but two favored segregation and they were from the North. I've got ten head of cattle and you can see through, the tree there where I'm building.' dairy. White folks helped me do that If I can help turn it around I'll be glad to do it, and the quicker It is done will be the better for everybody. 'Look at the progress we have made in the last 20 years in roads and. schools. The white people are paying the taxes and supporting things. A white friend made arrange -ments for me to buy a home here 20 years ago. They have always looked after me and done me and others a whole lot of good. When ever I need help I know where to look. The quicker we can get this thing back like it was the better it'll be for everybody." . , Othella Brock, Rose Hill 8-A ele mentary school teacher (who came up to Miller's while the editor was there). "The facilities at my school were poor. 12 teachers for 428 children. Only 6 toilets, all outside. and 3 water fountains. We need equal facilities." Henry Martin. Chairman of the Douglas High School Committee, CP&L employee, Warsaw: "We want a chance to live. We don't want to be discriminated against in schools, employment, or anywhere else. We have come a long way since the Dred Scott decision. I do think that we have to call on school patrons for too many things that the county should supply us. We don't have a lunchroom at our school." Mrs. Gaston Branch, northeast corner of Duplin near Outlaw' Bridge, wife of School Committee man: "My husband is not here. I think a petition is all right." She lives just beyond Branch School. William Henry Kenan, near Char ity, Chairman of Deacons, of New Christian Chapel Baptist Church, President of Rose Hill Elementary School PTA, has 250 acre farm, UK) acres cleared, and grows' 8.2 acres tobacco, cattle, hogs: "If we can get equal schools and equal rights it would be better separate. As far as going to church together, no. I do not think any man should be dis criminated against on account of his color." Alex Brown, near Charity, Presi dent of PTA at Charity High School, brick layer and farmer: "When- I say 'equal' I mean really equal, I think that separate schools are bet ter for both races. I trade in Wall ace. I get my clothes at and my fertilizer at I couldn't ask that anybody treat me any better than those two gentle. ers for our children." .,. Johny E. MjOthta, Charity, dea eon in- New Christian Chapel Chur ch, cement finisher and farmer: "My feelings are lust like the others you have contacted. I think we ave gotten along ail right There is room :for Improvement of course,. I be lieve that we can work together for the best" ' ' V . . - Early ; Booty, - prominent - salad grower and truck farmer. Charity: "Look at New York. ' They don,'t have segregation. They don't em ploy very . many Negro .. school teachers up there. I believe we em ploy more here in Duplin County than in that entire state. I was talking to Leslie Boney jusf the other day. His boy graduated from college over a year ago. He hasn't got a job teaching yet They say his degree isnt high enough. He has been working for me. He can't make nearly as much money oing that as he could teaching. What chance will he ever have it this thing goes through? ' ."I started in the salad business in 1938. The first two years were rough. Then in 1942 the louse got Virginia's crop. I was the only one around with any salad. 'Getting back to this thing about segregation, I'll be glad to do any thing to help." All of the comments were taken from conversation with the people during interviews Friday afternoon, Saturday, and Sunday afternoon in various parts of Duplin County. jHllas Herring, chairman of the Duplin County Board of Education, commented when Informed of the petition movement that the Board would meet in June and in line w(th its policy of hearing any citi zens' group on any school matter. The Board would give all groups an opportunity to be heard on the question of compliance with the Supreme Court's ruling. He -called attention to the fact that the county has btf.i providing modern school buildings and equip ment for Negroes as rapidly as the money became available and is at present engaged in building a mod ern high school plant for Negroes at Kenansville. The most adequate school plant in the county is for Negroes at the Charity school, which is situated on a 75 acre tract of land. It is the only school in the county with demonstration farming and forestry Mr. Herring stressed the fact that Duplin County schools have been setting a precedent in North Caro lina educational circles in their program of relating the schools to the community. This has been done through the medium of citizens' committees and the Board expects to continue this relationship in working out all school problems, in cluding the problem of segregation. "We live in a democracy and we believe that the people ought to have a voice in the operation of their schools. There can be no ques tion of violating the law of the land, but there also ought not to be any question of violating the public will if we are to live up to the demo cratic principles 'we profess. I will not serve on any school board or any other board that violates this basic democratic concept, which is the very foundation of this coun try's greatness. "I am confident that the Negroes and the white people of Duplin County can work this problem out together to the satisfaction of every one, so long as we approach the problem in a spirit of understand- men do. I do think we should have ing and cooperation. ' r.... L, i -5 ? MOUNT OUVjI I..;ss Sudie Pierce. 78, died Sunday at 6:15 p.m. at her home In the. Summerlin's Cross Roads community.

I truly feel that we have enough tried and true leaders among both races; whose sense of justice; whose love for all humanity; whose devotion to duty, is sufficient to enable us to meet this new decision of the Supreme Court of the United States of America with out becoming disloyal citizens to our State or Nation. If we will just follow the Golden Rule, of true Christians "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," and use that good old democratic yard stick of "Equal rights to all and special privileges to none," we can live as good neighbors should and march onward and upward, ever enjoying the fruits of our labor and the liberties of a free people, happy, prosperous and unafraid. , " "'"'.
