Jupge Greneker Speaks
On Segregation Issue
By "way of the Saluda Standard
we have a summary of remarks
made by Judge T. B. Greneker
(a native of Newberry) who last
week presided at court in Saluda.
The judge was speaking to the
grand jury, and was outspoken
on his position with respect to
the segregation decision of the
United States supreme court.
Judge Greneker was quoted by
the Standard as saying: “I have
been greatly impressed by the way
the people of South Carolina, both
white and colored, have been af
fected iby the decision of the U. S.
Supreme court on segregation.
The colored people don’t wan’t
anything and the white people
don’t want anything that will
break up the happy relationship
that has existed between the races
so long here in the South. He
asserted his firm conviction that
neither the white people nor the
colored people of South Carolina
want or will tolerate mixed schools
which will destroy the happiness
and the pleasant relationship that
has prevailed between the races
in the S^ate for so many decades.
Judge Greneker said earnestly,
solemnly and emphatically, says
The Standard, “So long as I am
serving as judge, I will never sign
a paper that contravenes the
constitution of South Carolina. I
will resign my seat upon the
bench before I will do that. I
have prayed and will continue to
pray that no act will be committ
ed .to break up the happy rela
tionships that have prevailed be
tween white people and colored
people in this part of the country
for so long. As a judge upon the
bench I 'have always leaned over
backwards to protect the rights
of the colored people in court.”
He concluded “No court has a
right to make law. The courts are
for the purpose of clearing up
and preserving the law. I ask you
to join in and ‘ help in this.”
Judge Greneker leaves no doubt
as to where he stands, and we
commend him for his outspoken
ness. In setting ourselves to be
calm about the matter, perhaps we
have leaned too far in that direc
tion and have given the impress
ion that we are resigned to accep
ting the abolition of segregation
as inevitable. The Saturday Even-
ilg Post has even gone so far as
to publish an article under the
title “Southerners Will LIKE
Integration.”
We don’t believe for a minute
that is the attitude of the vast
majority of Southerners. Not only
do we believe they will NOT like
integration, we believe they will
oppose it bitterly.
Georgia’s attorney general has
made the flat-footed statement
that integration of the races would
not be permitted in Georgia
schools.
Perhaps we should take an at
titude more like that, and state
our position and feelings and be
liefs on this vital matter in such
certain terms. Andi f that’s de
fiance of the Supreme Court, can
the Court make indictments a-
gainst 40 million people and 17
States?—(Above taken from The

Sports Afield
(By TED KESTING)
The smallmouth bass is not an
easy fish to understand. Like
the trout, he’s exasperating and
has a complicated personality.
He’s moody, super-selective, erat-
ic wholly unlike his big-mouthed
kin. In fact, it’s unfortunate that
both were named BLACK b&ss.
And it is really astonishing bow
many experts who should know
better talk about “black bass” as
if they were one. (
The smallmouth’s environment
is specialized. It is a stark, sev
ere, uncluttered, especially as
compared to the lush pasture of
the largemoufth. In an article in
Sports Afield, Byron Dalrymple
pictures the smallmouth as pois
ed, shy, conservative; while the
largemouth is the crude, lippy
roustabout with a few 4 manners
and less judgment.
The smallmouth may be con
sidered predominantly northern.
The majority of its waters are In
southeastern Canada, New Eng
land and the Great Lakes region.
The reverse is true of the large-
mouth, lover of lily pads, weed-
beds, and warm w r ater, even tho
its actual range extends into Can
ada.
Typical smallmouth water -is
a stream of moderate size, with
many deep holes, large rocks in
it and along its banks; swift,
clear and cold; gravel or rock
bottom. This sounds like a trout
stream, but it isn’t. The small
mouth is seldom found in the
same stream as trout. They’re al
so found in some lakes—^moderate
size and depth, cold, clear, almost
lacking in vegetation.
Here are a few simple rules
for finding smallmouths: 1) Pish
mki-depths first and most (five
in sight. 2) Don’t hesitate to try
deep water (down to 30 or more
feet); for this use a fast-sinking
lure. 3) Figure on smallmouths be
ing in the shallows, mainly in mid
spring and midfall. But fish the
shallows also at night and in mid
summer. 4) In streams, in addi
tion to spots behind boulders and
along rock walls and deep ledges
where currents sweep, fish thd
runs below riffles, and also look
closely for gravel bars that He
deep, ten feet or more. 5) Where
stream waters flow wild and
swift, never overlook the choppy
edge just outside the hard push
of the current, nor the" “island”
of slick water in a riffle.
From the Claremont News,
Claremont, Minnesota: We read of
the preparations .'. . for one of the
greatist fights . . . between labor
and industry. The auto workers
have built a 25-million dollar fund
to battle for the yearly wage sys
tem and Ford and General Motors
are the targets. If they give in
all of industry will be included.
Three big companies have al
ready established their workers
on that principle, a shoe company,
a meat company and a soap com
pany. But they can store their
product over a slack season and
have no new models to contend
with requiring lay-offs for re
tooling.
We have carefully considered
the arguments presented by both
sides and consider the principle
correct and an advantage to the
majority of the public if carried
out completely.
Naturally a worker with a yearly
wage assured him will tend to
slow down and not be as atten
tive to his work. However, he can
budget his living expenses and
carefully plan his investments.
Whether his company profited
from his work or not, he wins. He
is not being paid wages but actu
ally would live on a pension during
his working years.
We think this idea should be
extended to all including farmers.
Think how fine it would be not
having to depend on the weather,
the fertilizer, insect pests, or the
many other aggravations of farm
ing. The average auto worker is
now receiving $90 a week and we
think the government should guar
antee the farmer at least that
amount considering the number of
hours he must put in. Of course,
in that case the government would
have to take over ownership of the
farms but as long as we are
adopting the Russian system for
the auto workers, it might just as
well be extended to farmers. In
Russia, the government sets a
certain “norm” or the amount of
work each worker must accom
plish “or else”. The secret police
sees to that and automobile fac
tories would have to adopt some
thing similar or the companies
would go broke.
We are getting a little tired of
some of these “new deal” plans
forced upon us, in this case,
favoring eventually the 3-million
organized labor workers which
penalizes the 57-million not so
organized. In the last 20 years we
have adopted many of these Com
munist plans and are drifting
closer and closer to that dictator
ship which recognizes but two
classes—the - intrenched govern
ment leaders and the workers who
are held to a strict subsistence
basis.
MING STATUE HOLfeUP
By D. L. Alexander
T HERE was no one in the curio
shop but Wade Tompkins, the
proprietor. Mrs. Horace Wilson
made sure of that before she en
tered it. Tompkins came forward
to meet her. “Good morning, Mrs.
Wilson,” he greeted. “Can I serve
you in any way?”
“I’m just looking around to see
what I can see.” She smiled at
him coquettishly.
“Very well, Mrs. Wilson,” he re
turned, with a slight bow. “Just
look around, and if there is any
thing you want, just let me know.”
“Thank you,” she answered.
He moved away from her.
One side of the shop was equipped
with long shelves containing mis
cellaneous pieces of statuary. Three
were exactly alike, and Mrs. Wil
son loitered near them.
The telephone in the back room
rang, and Tompkins went to answer
it. Mrs. Wilson seized the moment
to transpose the right and left stat
ues, and was examining a foreign
made bowl when he returned. Then
she apparently noticed the statues
for the first time.
“Oh, how cute,” she cried.
“Yes,” he agreed. “They are
very lovely; Chinese relics.”
“Indeed. So odd, too.”
"I managed to pick up those
three. Their history dates back to
Ming.”
j “Is that so? I’ve heard you speak
I of Mr. Ming.”
| Tompkins sputtered. “The Mings
was a family of rulers in China
several centuries ago,” he ex
plained. “In those days a great
deal of pottery was made. It is
very valuable today because of its
antiquity.”
“I see.” She picked up one to
examine it. It was a replica of
Buddha, the Chinese god, seated
on a throne covered with flowers.
“How wonderful. I must have it.”
“It is,a very rare piece, I assure
you, Mrs. Wilson. I must ask
twenty-five dollars for it.”
She moved as if to replace it.
“But I haven’t that much money,”
she said sadly.
After brief haggling Tompkins
capitulated for twenty dollars.
“Come again, Mrs. Wilson,” he
called after her as she started down
the street.
"Many thanks, Mr. Tompkins,”
she replied, and under her breath
added: “I think you’ll be the first
one to do the calling unless I’m
mistaken.”
Mrs. Wilson maintained a cheer
ful one-sided conversation at din
ner, and when the doorbell rang
she got up hastily to answer it. Mr.
Horace Wilson followed her, wiping
his mouth on a napkin.
Mr. Tompkins barged in excited
ly. “Mrs. Wilson,” he cried. “There
has been a dreadful mistake. The
statue I sold you th<« morning be
longs to another party. I’ve brought
one of tike others to trade you
for It.”
“But I don’t care to trade, Mr.
Tompkins,” she said.
“Why? This one is exactly like
tiie one I sold you.” He unwrapped
it
The next fifteen minutes passed
in forious* bargaining, at the end of
which time Mr. Tompkins left the
establishment and two hundred dol
lars behind.
“I just don't get it.” Mr. Wilson’s
mind was very much confused.
“It so happened,” Mrs. Wilson
explained, “that I was standing out
side Mr. Tompkins’ shop window
and saw him place a wad of money
inside Buddha’s throne. I switched
Buddhas on him when he went
the bade room and bought the
wealthy one when he came out. I
opened the throne while you were
grouching in the garden, and
counted the money. There was only
ten thousand dollars in it.”
‘‘You robber, you. You she-mafe
bandit.”
“Oh no, I’m not. Mr. Tompkins
got his money back, didn’t he?”
She gave him a radiant smile.
“Yes. But I can’t see any differ
ence between a thief and a hold-up
artist.”

Y OU may have missed seeing it
in print, but of late some re
vealing deductions of a medical
college professor were given lim
ited exposure to public knowledge
. . . said revelations debunking a
familiar rhyme which has long |
told us that the chemical compo
sition of little girls is in the nature
of “sugar and spice and every
thing nipe.”
Not at all, says the professor.
Little girls are made of, to wit:
“Enough chlorine to disinfect five
swimming pools; 1,400 cubic feet
of oxygen; 10 gallons of water; 5
pounds of lime; 31 pounds of
carbon; enough glycerine to ex
plode a heavy navy shell; enough
glutin to make 5 pounds of glue.”
And, so on and on.
Here, at last, has come forth a
champion for the long-belittled
males. For generations awkward,
stumbling young men have been
forced to bear up under the idea
of relation to “snails and puppy-
dog tails”; a situation which no
doubt has caused many com
plexes, Brought about much in
difference, and often a miserable
period of dislike for the opposite
sex. It Is doubtful, had man been
the weaker sex, that such a handi
cap could have been overcome.
But now science and a modem
champion have unleashed the
binding shackles and our new gen
erations will rise in the light of
truth. Perhaps this new generation
will go down forever in history as
enlightened warriors who with
courage and skill returned this
suffering planet to the glory and
grandeur it knew of old—when it
was “a man’s world.”
