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-

Musgrove's Mill
Battle Site
In Revolution
One of the stories of the Revolu
tionary War is woven around the site i
of a skirmish and a small waterfall
located between Clinton and Cross |
Anchor.
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

CITATION FOR LETTERS OF
ADMINISTRATION
The State of South Carolina,
County of Laurens. . -, u '
By J. H. Wasson, Probate Judge.
WHEREAS, C. C. Adair mada
suit to me to grant him Letters of

the look of a mud turtle on a log,
the quick beat of a kingfisher’s
wings, the flash of a dragon fly.
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.
