ORANGEBURG, S.C.- Mute
evidence of how brutality can
take something out of the spirit
of people, no matter what their
station in life might be, was
evident here Monday when the
funeral o! 17-year-old Delano
Middleton, one of the victims
who was mowed down, by the .
gun fire of state patrolman
Thursday night.
The funeral was held at a
church, on the outskirts of the
city, and bore all the earmarks
of a wrong, perpetrated on a
defenseless high school boy,
whose only reason for being
dead, was that he joined a crowd,
that was tired of the insults
and injustices that are heaped
upon people, because of their
color.
The second funeral, that of
Henry Smith, 18-yr-old college
student of Marion, was set for
Tuesday, in Marion. It was
expected that the same somber
atmosphere would attend the
youth’s funeral and the only con
solation that the family and
friends would have was the fact
that he paid the supreme price,
in an effort to set others free,
lrom the ravages of men who
had become so obsessed with
hate that they would blow them
down, in cold blood.
Final rites for Samuel Ham
mond, 18, Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
were set for his hometown
Wednesday. His interment Will
be the last for the three youths,
but it is believed that the echoes
of the minister’s farewell words
will echo thru the streets of
this South Carolina town for
a number of years.
All of the travail of the birth
of a new day, in this city,
whose population is about even
ly divided between the two
races, is not over. The pains
and groans of the 37 injured
in the wholesale thrust of ter
ror to life and limb, are still
being heard, as townspeople re -
live the horrible night. City

Lewis Williams, 508 Bragg
St., father of three children,
ior whom he has to provide
and a wife, related to the CAR
OLINIAN how he was the vic
tim of a shotgun blast, at the
hands of James Edward Bak
er, 500 Smith field St., for no
cause whatever.
Williams, almost unable to sit
down and tugging at the front of
his pants, so as to not irri
tate the wound the shots made,
told how Baker was recklessly
handling a shotgun, near the
Chicken-n-Box, located across
the street from his home, on
Nov. 5, 1967. His story reveal
ed that Baker was allegedly
aiming at Albert Lucas, but he
(Williams) wks in the line of
fire and the load entered the
lower part of his stomach and
the region of his vital organs.
Williams was taken to the
hospital and remainedthei e un
til about a month ago. He ap
parently was doing well, but it
has developed that his organs
have become seriously impair
ed, causinghim serious pain and
discomfort. He has to visit
the doctor intermittently.

Struggle
Taking A
Big Toll
Dr. J. E, Cheek, president
of Shaw University, without any
apology for the statements at
tributed to him as to the pre
carious conditions that exist not
only in Raleigh but the nation,
as it relates to predominantly
Negro colleges in the urban cri
sis, for which persons were
called to his campus to try to
work out ways and means
whereby further trouble could
be averted, is firm in his con
viction Wednesday.
The Shaw prexy began by say
ing the Negro college students
had sacrificed too much in em
barrassment, privation, im
prisonment and even death, in a
struggle to gain human dignity
for his fellows, to not be care
fully considered by all factions,
from the blood thirsty law en
forcement officer, the agencies
that have no regard for law
and order, the agitator, the
non-violent advocate and even
the hoodlum.
Dr. Cheek pointed to the fact
that Negro campuses have been
the target of many of the out
bursts, due to the fact that
the Negro student has carried
the brunt of the struggle. He
alluded to Fisk University, Tex
as Southern and now South Car
olina State and Claflin Univer
sity. He said that the leaders
who gathered here were well
aware of the need to come up
with a solution of the prob
lem and in order to properly
approach the matter, they had
to know the facts.
He was only relating what he
had found as the result of ex
tensive travel, research and
actual contact, with not only his
students, but those who attend
other colleges. He said it was
rather ironical that even though
demonstrations on white college
campuses had been far greater,
there had been no blood shed
and billet-swinging cops had not
come in for a knockdown, kill
out confrontation,

description. The kidnapping
took place near the scene where
police found the bodies of two

believe there is a connection

Mayor M. C. Benton termed
Monday perhaps the most suc
cessful day in the history of
the city when more than 200
persons were either hired on the
spot or will bo hired later this
week His estimate was that
about $16,000 would be tunneled
into Winston-Salem's poverty
area.
As originally planned, .lob
Day was to bring employers
and unemployed people together
for instant hiring. However,
many of the 60 employers who
participated in Job Day were
unable to do that, said Charles
B. Wade Jr., chairman of the
mayor’s Employ men t Re
sources Committee.
Wade said most of the em
ployers had to schedule private
interviews for later this week.
New personnel must complete
application blanks and take phy
sical examinations, Wade ex
plained. So many employers
could not make final decisions
during Job Day, he said.
The number of people who
were scheduled for- later in
terviews and employment may
be known today, Wade said.,
Invitations to job Day had
been sent to 630 unemployed
people. But twice that number
came to the coliseum. Most of
them were walk-ins with no
previous Job Day orientation
and prevocational training,
