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

This crowded court room was snapped as candidates for state of

able downstairs, but a number of empty seats can be seen in the bal

county to county speaking schedule. (Sunphoto by Frank Armfield.)

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.”
