Lester Bates
Reiterates
Call For Study
Lester L. Bates, candidate for
governor, commenting last night
on the Supreme Court’s ruling
that school segregation is uncon
stitutional, reiterated his .pro
posal that a widely-representa-
tive committee study the "grave
problem” posed by the decision
prior to any legislative action.
Expressing his conviction that
South Carolina must find a way
to educate her children “without
submitting them to non-segre-
gated schools,” Mr. Bates said he
was not a "last-minute cottvert
to a course of action which must
. . . recommend iteelf to all . . .
right-thinking people,” but had
expressed himself last October in
Charleston and still held "pre
cisely” the same convictions.
“This day, Monday the ITth of
May, 1954, will long be remem
bered in South Carolina. Today
the Supreme Court of the United
States struck down our way of
life as we have known it for the
past 80 years.
“We now face a grave pro
blem that problem being the ed
ucation of our children without
submitting them to non-segre
gated schools.
“This we must do.
“My convictions today are
precisely thosp I expressed pub
licly in Charleston on October
16, 1953. I am not a last-minute
convert to a course of action
which must sooner or later re
commend itself to all patriotic
and right-thinking people.
“In Charleston 1 said in the
event the Supreme Court should
order a change in our present
educational system, I propose
that a special committee, widely
representative of our ablest
citizens, be established to make
studies and recommendations
prior to any legislative action.
“This is not a problem to be
solved in haste or by emotion,
the very foundations of our
Southern way of life is at stake.
It is a grave problem to which
extremists on either side cannot
contribute anything substantial.
Its solution calls for wisdom and
not demagoguery, for courage
and straight thinking.
*“17118 is too big a problem to
be solved by the mind of any one
man. In this hour in which my
disappointment is great I could
make many rash and unwarrant
ed political statements and con
clusions.
“I could say that as a candi
date I had a plan that would
absolutely solve the situation.
Should I make such a statement,
however, it would be false and
only calculated to mislead. There
is no ready plan or solution to
this tremendous problem. This is
no time for the presentment of
hastily devised schemes. This is
no time to take advantage for
political gain of the numbed
minds of our people while in a
state of shock over the court’s
decision. I will make no such
rash statements.
“Neither is this the time for
panic or hysteria. It is not the
time for demagoguery and poli
tical optimism. It is instead a
time for sanity, cool-headedness
and the exercise of reason and
intelligence.
“Education is the first duty of
democracy and must remain the
paramount concern of our state.
We must make certain that no
child in the state shall be rob
bed of its constitutional end
God-given right to achieve an
education. Our problem is in
capable of overnight solution. It
is one that cannot be decided by
any one man and I would be
distrustful of any man who con
siders himself as all-powerful
enough to solve it From the be
ginning, I have advocated that
the best niinds of South Caro
lina address themeeivet collect
ively to the problem.
\ ‘The Supreme Court proposes
to let the attorneys general of
the states aftected study the
matter until October and then
recommend the course to be pur
sued. The recommendations of
the attorneys general will natur
ally reflect the judgements and
desires of the citizens of each
state. This is an indirect way of
accomplishing what I propose
should be accomplished directly.
I myself have no immediate so
lution. 1 have no monopoly on wis
dom. I propose that the’ people
decide in the last analysis. Their
judgement is good. All equitable
and lasting decisions are those
that have been arrived at
through the collective minds and
consciences of the people them
selves.
“I propose that all South Caro
linians, even those of us candi
dates for office subordinate our
personal ambitions to the wel
fare of our beloved state and
that together we arrive at a solu
tion that will be considered
equitable, constructive and pat
riotic.”
SEGREGATION
-
AT A OUNCE
MX
The Supreme Court by unani
mous vote declares it unconstitu
tional for a state to have laws
requiring white and Negro pub
lic school pupils to be placed in
900
separate classrooms.
Enforcement of the ruling is
held up indefir^itely because of
complexities in the laws of the
states which now require or per-
mit segregation. .

CASH INCOME- CROPS 8 LIVESTOCK
SOUTH CAROLINA, 1925-1953
NEW SUBSCRIBERS
The court decides to invite the
U S. attorney general and the
chief law enforcement officers of
all states involved to appear for
re-argument in the fall to decide
when and how to make the de
cision effective. The deadline for
the filing of briefs is set for Oct.
1, but this is merely a prelmi-
nary to the oral arguments later.
• • •
Many southern white leaders
express disappointment at the
decision. Sen. Russell (D-Ga.)
says the court did not have au
thority to declare segregation
unconstitutional.
• • •
The court bases its decision on
the “equal rights” provision of
the 14th amendment in the cases
of four states — Virginia, South
Carolina, Kansas and Delaware
—in which Negro residents had
appealed to the high tribunal
• • •
The court also throws out the
District of Columbia segregation
law on the ground that it vio
lates the “due process" provis
ion of the 5th amendment.
* • •
The effect in both instances is
to upset the “separate but equal”
doctrine originally issued by the
Supreme Court in 1896, insofar
as it would apply to public
school education.

Spinal Trouble
Corrected At
HART Clinic
Most people have, at one
time or another, had a jar,
jolt, fall, or strain. It may
have been a fall on ice, down
steps or a strain from lifting
some object. These jars or
strains often cause the small
bones of the spine to be twist
ed out of place. Dr. C. J. Hart,
whose clinic is located at 205
Church street in Laurens, says
that a crooked spine or one out
of alignment causes pressure
on nerves as they pass from
the spinal cord to the body or
gans - . . This nerve pressure
can cause diseases such as high
blood pressure, asthma, arth
ritis, headaches, backaches, in
digestion and many others.
Dr. Hart is a spine specialist
and can locate the misalign
ment causing such trouble.
With his skill and training he
can restore the disaligned bone
to its proper place and nor
mal health will return to the
body . . . After every accident
have your spine checked at the
Hart Clinic for the slightest
misalignment and you can
prevent ill health from getting
a foothold in your body. Call
22501, Laurens, for an appoint
ment. Adv.
ARTHRITIS?
I have been wonderfully bless
ed in being restored to active life
after being crippled in nearly
every joint in my body and with
muscular soreness from head to
foot. I had Rheumatoid Arth
ritis and other forms of Rheuma
tism, hands deformed and my
ankles were set
Limited space prohibits telkng

The tots) cash income of South Carolina farmers In 1953 was
11/4 times more than the average for the 6-year period 1935-39.
ft TIB cash income from livestock and livestock products was 6 1/3
times greater. In 1953, livestock and livestock products accounted for
tt S/t percent of the cash Income.
All the Increase in cash Income has not been “gravy" to farmers.
Farming costs and family living expenses have increased steadily.
The present high costs for farming and for family living make the
farmers more vulnerable to lower prices for their products. Since
reaching an all-time' high peak in April 1951. the Index of average
prices received by South Carolina farmers on March 15, 1954. has
declined 22 percent. On ttfe other hand, the index of all farming
costs on this date was the same as on April 15, 1951.
Despite the relatively higher total farm incomes, the cost-price
squeeze continues tight. The reduction in the 1954 cotton acreage
will accentuate this situation In t iler t.-> r -t this problem, farmers
should consider adapted altern. -.ie i...,, t. i.ve-lccl: enterprises for
commercial purposes and lor h .e er possibilities for meet
ing the problem are off farm < o: irr.'Ic rnent on other
