7 4- A * \ v / Thursday, June 11, 1953 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Paire Sev*n U. S. SUPREME COURT ORDERS NEW HEARING OCTOBER 12 IN SCHOOL SEGREGATION SUIT Washington—The Supreme Court i Monday put off until next fall—at' the earliest—any decision on the le gality of rficial segregation in pub lic schools. Unable to reach a decision in the five cases before it, the high tr- bunal called for re-argument next October 12 of whether to re-affairm or overturn the separate-but-equal doctrine it laid down 57 years ago. The new arguments will begin on the second day of the court’s fall term. The court meets for the first time on Oct. 5, then recesses to Oct. 12. The five cases were first argued last Dec. 3, 10 and 11. They in volve separate schools for white and Negro pupils in South Caro lina, Virginia, Kansas, 'Delaware, and the District of Columbia. Lawyers have said any general ruling on the segregation issue would affect 12 other states which require complete or partly sep arate school systems plus three oth er states which permit segregation. Thus the decision, when it comes, will be momentous. The court’s call for re-argument was issued in a formal order. It listed a series of questions the jus tices discussed by lawyers in full. They include: “1. What evidence is there that the Congress which submitted and the state legislatures and conven tions which ratified the 14th Amend contemplated or did* not contemplate, undented or did not understand, that it would abolish segregation in public schools? “2. If neither the Congress in submitting nor the states in rati fying the 14th Amendment under stood that compliance with it would require the immediate abolition of segregation in public schools, was it nevertheless the understanding of the framers of the amendment. “A. That future Congresses might, in the exercise of their pow er under Section 5 of the amend ment, abolish segregation, or “B. That it vfould be wihtin the judicial power in light of future considerations, to construe the amendment as abolishing such seg regation of its own force? do not dispose of,the issue, is it “3. One the assumption that the answers to questions 2-A and B within the judicial power, in con struing the amendment, to abol ish segregation in public schools? “4. Assuming it is decided that segregation in public schools vio lates the 14th Amendment, “A. Would a decree necessar- WAKE UP! To fhe Joys of Home Ownership We. can help turn dreams into reality.

The skirmish—Known as the Bat tle of Musgrove’s Mill—was fought August 19, 1730, when a group of Georgians and Carolinans under Col onels Shelby, Clarke and Williams defeated a British garrison and made away with 70 prisoners. A battle and a monument to Col. Samuel Inman identify the battle site. Better known, however, is the story of Sgt. Galbraith “Horseshoe” Rob inson. Sgt. Robinson was a blacks smith by trade, hence his nick-name. He and Maj. Arthur Butler were cap tured by the British and carried to Musgrove’s Mill for trial. Robinson escaped and hid beneath a small wat erfall near the mill. He communicat ed with Maj. Butler through the miller’s daughter, Mary, and was fed by her for several days. Finally, with Mary’s help, Sgt. Robinson effected Maj. Butler’s escape from the British. The story is well known through out John Kennedy’s book, “Horse-1 shoe Robinson”. The waterfall now 1 is called Horseshoe Falls In honor of the hero. The Quiet Fishermen There are all kinds of fishermen, as well as persons who do not fish at all. Probably the most baffling of the cult are the still-fishermen, those who spend hours in a small boat or on the bank with a bam boo pole or a bait rod, apparently sitting in the sun with no pressing purpose, no worries, no energy. Non-fishermen shake their heads in bafflement. Fly fishermen smile and shake their heads. But the still-fishermen go right on fishing, for perch and big sunfish, and bull-, heads, and even the lowly rock bass. Pan-fishing, some call it; they fish not only to catch fish, but to eat them. And they usually fish with worms for bait. Still-fishermen are generally | quiet, folk with a touch of poetry * in their souls. They seldom talk about it, but there is something i soothing and reassuring in a river | bank or pond, at dawn, at dusk, or i even at midday when the fish sel- 1 | dom bite. They know the quiet i waters, those still-fishermen, and ihMiiMkJ I <v, , «Ti * by >' m 5 ■ i iw # \ Jm* •»,v * * • ■ art f$rr, •A J 11 The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass., from across the park maintained by the denomination.

Adair mada suit to me to grant him Letters of Administration of the Estate of P. Dillard Adair. These are, therefore, to cite and admonish all and singular the Kin dred and Creditors of the said P. Dillard Adair, deceased, that they be and appear before me, in the Court of Probate, to be held at Laurens Court House, Laurens, S. C., on June 23, next, after publi cation hereof, at 10 o’clock in the forenoon, to show cause, if any they have, why the said Administration should not be granted.

They know the sunrise and sunset. They know the hidden coves, the peaceful places. They know where a man can have an hour’s medita tion between bites as well as where he can be kept so busy he has no time for thought or worry. Fishing is not all catching fish, by any means; but it is well to come home with your supper. And what better supper for any fisherman than a couple of yellow perch? Some may argue the point, but few of the dissenters will be still-fish ermen; for most of them agree that any man’s choice is his own catch. Worm-fishing breeds individualism and tolerance in about equal pro portions. No bait rod was ever used to pound an opinion into a dis senter’s head. — The New York Times.
