Service Battalion, APO No. 782, AUS, Italy, lectors office this week. Tax Collector Hill has run up some sort of record in getting back taxes since he took charge of the office. On hand and turned over to his custody during the past two years was $336,881.60. Of this amount he has collected and turned into the county treasurer $246,836.78. The difference of some 90 thousand dollars includes the 1945 delinquents just recently turned into the office and upon which the collector has not yet put the steam. Some small amounts of taxes dating back to 1936 still re main in the office but Mr. Hill is gradually wearing them down and hopes to be current with all taxes before so very long. The office has done such a splendid job that the • delegation thought one of the deputy collec tors could be dispensed with, con sequently John Peterson was drop ped from the office the first of this month. T. C. Chalmers I - mains with the office as his phase of the work is yet unfinished. The only other assistance Mr. Hill has is a young lady doing clerical work Auditors from the Comptroller General’s office made a check of Mir. Hill’s books this week to see if things were in order. They were. The citizens committee has sug gested to town council that the half million dollais needed for wa ter and sewage-disposal extension and modernization be liquidated by a boost of 25 per cent in light rates and 50 per cent in water rates. Town council is agreeable to the suggestion but first wants to sam ple public opinion. In order to find out how citizens at large feel about the proposed expenditure of $500,000 for the above purposes town council will place a box with proper tickets at each city polling precinct where the August 13th primary voters will ballot. Furth er information will be forthcoming as to the details of the plan to get public reaction. It was pointed out at meeting “Editor Florence Morning News: “I wish to express myself on a subject that is fraught with dan ger and misunderstanding. I hope I will not be misunderstood, as I am doing this with the best intent. I am addressing myself to the col ored people, as one who has been here 42 years doing business with a great many of you in a most satisfactory and cordial manner. “I am the son of an ex-slave. For 400 years my forbears slaved in Egypt, felt the scourge of the whip and lash of the taskmaster. We had no courts to protect us nor property rights. Therefore, I can feel with you and for you, and to this day I am still the tar get of persecution, discrimination, and abuse from the recorder’s court to the higher-ups. I suffer with a silent resigned disdain and fortitude, knowing that which is a lifetime to the individual is but the blink of an eye to the eternal God . above. “We have some white people who suffer from a phobia of ego tism and superiority complex, who can see no good in anyone with a Semitic name. On the other hand^ we have very many good people who are just and fair, and upon their justice I rely. The great is sue confronting us now is, ‘Should the negro vote?’ You must come to full realization that this is the white man’s country. A s hard as it may seem, it is true. The white man explored, pioneered, fought the ravages of disease, wild beasts and the Indian. He conquered, and to the conquer go the spoils. The white man is sovereign ruler of this country. That, in justice to himself, he cannot surrender. “The negro never came here as an immigrant, for under the im migration laws, negroes and Asiat- CIVIL SERVICE RECRUITING The Atlanta office of the Civil Service Commission is now accept ing applications for Clerk-Steno graphers in the Grades CAF-2, $1,- 954 a year and CAF-3, $2,168.28 per year to fill vacancies in the central office of the Commission at Washington, D.

Sadie Bowers, Local Secty. recently held that Newberry had far outgrown its water and sewer systems, particularly the sewage disposal plant. Opinion seemed to be strong that sewers should be installed in the Negro sections of the city and also made available to potential residential sections. The rate increase was favored by the citizens committee over a tax levy on realty as the more just means of distributing the cost of the improvements. To the average householder the increase would be negligible. On a $3 light bill and a $1 water bill the increase would be $1.25, or a total of $5.25 against $4. Such a rate ;would, it is believed, still be much under rates of surrounding cities. ics are excluded from entering this country. He was brought in as a chattel, sold and traded in until President Lincoln signed the eman cipation act setting him free. He was treated liberally by not being deported and permitted to remain without being naturalized and com plying with all the laws governing same. He became a problem of the white man in the south, for with his numbers, if permitted to vote, in office. The negro enjoys every liberty possible, such as owning land or any other property. He has his churches, ministers, doctors, lawyers and engages in many in dustrial pursuits—nothing is in his way but the voting problem. This he should not expect. The north has only 6 percent negro popula tion, so the white man there has no fear of replacement. In some western states many people have never seen a negro. In McCoock, Nebraska, colored troops traveling thorugh were denied the privilege of buying cigarettes and drinks at train stops. Some of your leaders claim you do not want social equality, but wtih political equal ity, you will abolish Jim Crow laws which bring about fraterniza tion-—that the white man cannot af ford to risk. Why want to sit be side white people in a bus or in a train? Are the colored people not good enough for you to sit? Were had as many negroes as the south you would find the same Jim Crow laws there. Even as it is, the whites there use many devices in keeping colored from amongst them. . “Some of your leaders here asked Mr. Barnwell, ‘If you buy our tobacco, our cotton, and have our boys fight, why can’t we vote in your primaries?’ That’s the an swer—when he is in the army, he Continued On Back Page Charter Given New Lumber Concern Charters were granted Tuesday by W.
