By DAVIS LEE . “Writers from throughout the world Jiave visited the South dur ing the last 12 months to get a close-up glimpse of the so-called ratfFNssue. The large publications in Vir) country have sent their best stajf importers into the various uthHoi states, but not one writer has gone to the core of this issue and presented a truthful, factual and intelligent analysis. “Practically every article has dealt with the social aspect, t h e feelings and reactions of Negro and white people of the region cov ered. The mixing of races or re sistance to it, has been the domi nant theme. *' “There is more to the Negro and white relationship in the South than Jim Crowism, than political and so cial equality or the mixing of Ne gro and white kids in the same classroom.. Nothing has been said about the economic opportunities that Negroes enjoy, or the business-, es which they own, the security which, they enjoy, the desire on the part of most Southerners to help worthy and enterprising Negroes to get ahead. “No one seems to be concerned about the best in the South, but’ only with the worst. Not one writ er has come up with the fact that a Negro is a clerk in a white drug store in Rosedale, Mississippi, and that two Negrp sharecroppers have $10,000 each on deposit at the Val ley Bank in Rosedale. “None have pointed out that Ne gro mechanics work at the Ford “For instance, in Warrcnton. N. C., John Graham, the white high school principal, gets $5,500 a year. John Hawkins, the Negro high school principal, gets $7,085 a year. In the county are 66 white teachers who draw an average of $351.43 per month. There are 149 Negro teach ers who draw an average of $352.25 per month "The Negro in North Carolina eats better, dresses better, lives better an enjoys more individual respect from white people than does his Northern. Eastern. «nd j Western counterpart. “kuch is being written at present about civil rights legislation and opposition to its passage by South erners in the House and Senate. Those not familiar with the facts will get the impression that the Southern bloc is against the Negro. Nothing is farther from the truth. These Southerners have done more, and will do more for the Negro than will those from other sections. “For instance, Congressman Boy kin, of Alabama, sent a Negro to law school, so has Congressman L. Mendel Rivers, of South Carolina. Congressman Pilcher, of Georgia, spent over $6,000 in cash to de fend Lt. Saunders, a Negro youth from his home town. Senator Tal- madge has Negroes running his farm and so has Senator Eastland. “There is not one Southerner in Congress who was not either nyrsed by a Negro or who has Negro ser vants back home. The so-called civil rights advocates cannot lay claim to the above facts. And all of them combined have not done ffs much for the Negro as has anyone mentioned here.” Clinton Soldier Completes Course At~German Center Second Lt. Robert H. Little, son of Robert P. Little.
