Carteret County News-Times A Merger Of The Beaufort News (est. 1912) * The Twin City Times (est. 1936) FRIDAY, SEH\ 1, 1??# The Ku Klux Howards John Daniel Johnston, a Conway, S. C? policeman was shot and killed Saturday night at Myrtle Beach. S. C., while on a raid with the Ku Klux Klan. Beneath his white robe was his police man's uniform. Johnston had been elected magistrate in July s South Carolina democratic primary and was to have taken office in March. In the light of these facts, it would have been interesting to see what kind of "justici " Negro defendants would have received at the hands of Magistrate Johnston. While the Klansmen were parading around the object of their raid, a Negro night club, members of the U. S. 24th regiment, col ored, were maintaining the American-United Nations line on "Bat tle Mountain" in South Korea. This is the same regiment that received glory, well-deserved, in the early phases of the Korean war. the regiment that has fought without relief or surcease ever since Red Korea invaded the Republic. We recommend that every Klansman be used as a replacement for members of the 24th Negro regiment wounded and killed in Korea! We wonder, though, if the Klansmen have guts to fight any thing or anybody without masquerading behind a mask and a sheet? There are "niggers" among Negroes, and white trash among whites, but incidents such as Saturday night's indicate that the per centage f white trash in the white population is proportionately higher than the per centage of niggers among Negroes. Yellow-livered Klansmen should be handed over to the Com munists or any other force that functions without free and dem ocratic law such as ours which allows degrading, vicious, and in sidious organizations like the KKK to exist. . The Negroes and white men the Klan fights because of their sympathy for the Negro, stand their ground unmasked. Ku Klux Kowards haven't got the intestinal fortitude to fight their so called battles as men. The very purpose of their being is founded in fear, their actions are a desperate move to cast out that fear within themselves. Johnston was shot in the back . . . undoubtedly by one of his fellow Klansmen, for Klansmen are of the ilk that shoot a man when his back is turned. Raleigh oundup By Tom Outlaw BECKONING . . . On Thursday September 5, trustees of all Bap tist colleges will meet in Kaleigh to hear reports from several com mittees making studies on what the future holds for denominational schools. One important item up for discussion: Will these schools ac cept Federal funds in the future and thus behead with one swing of the hatchet the old foundation stone of separation of Church and State? Can they continue to com pete with other schools now re ceiving State and Federal funds if they do not crawl into the same ditch? Can they survive without further consolidation in the event inflation becomes further inflation ary? There is, of course, a definite place for the denominational school. However, institutions sup ported by the church feel that hard days are ahead. They must depend upon donations. They can not look to Uncle Sam. As every thing becomes more Governmenta lized, church schools are likely to suffer while appropriations pour into State - supported colleges and universities. This meeting to be held here on September 5 fill be extremely im portant for schools like Campbell, Mars Hill. Chowan, Wingate, Mere dith and Wake Forest. OBECTIONS . . . John Gold, new director of prisons, accepted this arduous task over the objections of some of his friends who did not want to see him vacate an $8,500 place relatively free of politics for a $9,000 position with the State. As Winston-Salem Chief of Po lice, he was deeply respected by his subordinates for the fine way he plowed straight ahead 'for law enforcement, letting the big chips and the little ones fall together and defending his men against all comers if he thought they were right. It is understood that he made it clear with his new super iors to take the job that he would be the boss. May this be so. Hal eigh, for some reason, holds a pe culiar enchantment (or men who have made good in their local com munities. MADE GOOD At Wake For est Id 1934, Gold (or some unknown reason was known as "Milky" and starred on both gridiron and dia mond. On the (ootball team with him was David Holton o( Winston Salem, who now operates a large hardware store and other business in Kdenton; Zeno Wall of Shel by, son of the recently retired sup erintendent of Thomasville Or phanage and for a time associated with Knka and more recently in radio work; Howard (Skinny) Kothrock of Winston Salem, now operator of Kothrock Motors in Enfield; and Walton Kitchen, youngest son of Wake Forest's pres ident and now a physician. This gives the lie again to that old piece of tomfoolery that "football play ers don't make good." They were all classmates of Wal do Cheek of Asheboro, who did not play football but is now Insurance Commissioner of North Carolina. LAW . . . One of Chief Gold's bet ter policemen in Winston-Salem signed warrants and tickets left on cars simply ' Law". The defend ant knew immediately what he was in the hands of and often grumbled saying he knew the law had him and what was the necessity of put ting "Law"' where initials of tho arresting policeman should be. This always gol a laugh from the force, for the arresting officer was Leroy A. Wood, Brooks Cross | Roads product of Yadkin County, who is still with the department and still scribbles "Law" when making an arrest. MENTAL DOORSTEP ... the N. C. Health Department sent an offic ial to Chicago around July for five weeks of special instructions on combatting atomic burns. He returned a few days ago and has !>een accompanying Civilian De fense E. Z. Jones on some of his appearances. If you want a speaker for your local civic club or any other or ganization, get Jones. He can place the atomic bomb and the Communist threat right on your mental doorstep. Jones will complete next week for each North Carolina City of more than 2,000 population, a map showing what an atomic bomb will do to the city and outlying areas. These maps are not guesswork, but are based on studies made by the Atomic Energy Commission. IRRIGATION FARM? ... The N. C. Agriculture Department now has test farms in all sections of the State at Waynesville, Plymouth, Oxford, Wallace, Raleigh, in Ashe County and other areas. The soils are studied. Various crops are grown in widely varying experiments.

There is some demand for a farm to study irrigation problems. This would reduce to some extent the gamble which now exists in farming opera tions. Agriculture Commissioner L. Y. Ballentine isn't saying much about it but he is thought to be toying with the idea of establish ing a farm where experiments in irrigation would be the principal project. SEED TIME . . . Farmers do not know too much about irrigation, but they plant from year to year hoping the season will be favorable. : John Charles McNeill, the Scot land County singer, is noted for his poems. He also wrote some wonderful fables whicn are scarce ly known at all. One concerns the faith and optimism of the farmer, j It seems that a quail met anoth ! er quail under a brush pile. Said j he, "How come you back here this! spring? The year before last the early rains drowned the most part i of your brood and last year the j drought parched your food supply I of grass and made your life lean."! "True," said the other quail; "but it is about time for a good year to fall, and I who have suffer ed untoward seasons am fain to enjoy a bountiful one." Moral: The farmer finds fault from harvest to harvest, but at seed time he sows again. HEARING ... The State Utilities commission has announced inform ally that it does not plan to con duct a further public hearing on attempts by Bell Telephone Com pany to increase rates until about the middle of October. It prom ises to be a dilly, for a number of cities are protesting. Special experts on utilities rates are making a thhorough study of the situation and their reports will play an important role in the deliberations of the Utilities body. The last Legislature, realizing that Chairman Stanley Winborne and his assistants in the stately offices of the old Supreme Court building did not have enough staff to go into the technical deails of utili ties matters, provided funds to broaden its personnel. So, you may be sure that the appeals of Carolina Telephone. Com pany and Bell will be gone over Smile Awhile A Marine officer driving* to Cher ry Point on route 101 one night not so long ago came upon a bat- | tered, mud-spattered pick up truck just ahead of him. The truck was chugging along, just barely makin' it. so the Marine, driving a brand j now Hudson, tooted his horn pre liminary to passing. Just as he did so. the pick up i started to make a left turn. The right side of the Hudson was scrap- j ed and to avoid a more serious crash, the Marine headed for the ditch on the left side of the road. He crawled out of his car. slightly purple with rage and advanced j back across the road to where the ( farmer was standing beside his truck which was gurgling comfort ably as its motor idled. The Marine, gallantly attempting with the proverbial "fine-toothed comb" before the hearing. A case apart, however, seems to be that of Tidewater Light and Power in Wilmington whose ef forts to step up its rates is meet ing with serious objection throught its entire area. NOTES . . . Charlie Justice can make $18,000 during the next 12 months if he will play a little foot hall each weekend during the win ter months with the Richmond pro fessional club . . . This team has offered him $10,000 and has fixed it so that it will not interfere with with his regular duties with the Medical Care Commission and its cohort the Medical Foundation. . . . The N. C.

"Nope," replied the farmer, calm ly chewing his wad of tobacco. The Marine, mustering his last ounce of patience, inquired softly, "Well, don't you put out your hand when you're going to turn into this side road?" The farmer calmly surevyed his interrogator, spit decisively in di rection of the beditched Hudson and declared solemnly. "Everybody knows I live here."

Your guess is as good as ours ? or any other automobile dealer's. But definitely, we do not believe in t lightening customers into shortage buying or inflated prices. If you need a new au tomobile, or a good used car, don't rush into the market and buy just anything with four wheels, or pay just any price asked either. You don't have to! We suggest that you buy calmly, deliverately, wisely ? in sisting on full value for your money; because you can get it! Don't pay war scare scarcity prices. Shop the town and compare prices and values. Get the facts and figures ? and get them in writing. Of one thing we are certain ? that we still have a fine se lection of good cars, with more coming in; new Chrysler and Ply mouth cars which are being built at record production figures ? and that you can still get a good deal here.
