WANT ADS mmm A n INFLUENTIAL national mag azine recently came up with a “Rate Your Towm’’ survey-ques- tionnaire which received wide spread publicity and use through out the country. The idea was a good one. By an swering “yes’’ or “no” to various questions about industry, recrea tional facilities,, service organiza tions, etc., most any hamlet could pretty well decide how it stacked up as a good, solid community. However, I can think of one very pertinent question that should have been included, a simple one, like: “Does your towm have a ‘Coffee Club.’ ” This may sound to some like an irrelevant question. But it is really an important one. Every town should have a Coffee Club— or it could just as well be tea, root beer, or what have you. I have seen such clubs in many towns And in each they represent the same—an example of Democ racy at its best. About the hour of nine-thirty in the morning is the most popular meeting time. The Dentist ambles into the town restaurant from his office across the street and joins the city judge. Next come a depart ment store manager, a real estate salesman, photographer, a news re porter, maybe a truck driver. The order of business is always. a concentrated discussion of what ever is making news on the local or national scene. Philosophy, business, even religion, are sub jects for discussion. My only complaint about such or ganizations is that, according to custom the member who loses out in a guessing game or a game of chance picks u f tr’ f or the membership ’ SPINET PIANO!

Re-Elect YOUR EXPERIENCED REPRESENTATIVE “WORKING FOR A GROWING, GREATER NEWBERRY COUNTY!” NAACP DENOUNCES BATES NAACP Publicly Denounced Bates for Position On Seg regation After Speech in Charleston, October 16, 1953. In Charleston, Bates said—“We mast guarantee separate schools to both white children and Negro children in South Carolina for the peace, happiness and contentment of both.” 1 •. Following this statement, the NAACP immediately condemned Bates for his stand, as shown by the following article which appeared in the October 18, 1953 issue of The State newspaper: HINTON BATES A leader of the National Association for the advancement of % Colored People took issue yesterday with a statement by Lester L. Bates of Columbia, who declared in a talk at Charleston that continua tion of segregated schools is “essential'’ to the “peace and happiness’ 9 of the people of South Carolina. James M. Hinton, president of the S. C. State Conference of NAACP Branches, said in a letter to Bates that “Negroes are shocked beyond expression” by the address. . “As a good professing Christian can you justify your stand on racial segregation?” Hinton challenged Bates. Lester Bates says:— “For the Best Interest of the White Race and the Negro Race, We Must Maintain Separate Schools in South Carolina. “That was my position before the campaign began, that is my position now and win be my position as Governor.” "I SHALL NEVER RECOMMEND OB APPROVE MIXER SCHOOLS* 9 Political Adv.
