PAGE 8—Ihe Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, June 15, 1967 BY THE WAY (Continued from pr.ge 1) action on cue. It puts them on notice that they are expected to riot. Where are the reason and judgment in this type of leadership? In the past, law enforcement, with rare exceptions, has met its responsibilities during riots and disorders in an exemplary manner. Some police officers have been killed and many have been assaulted, abused, and maligned for no greater sin than enforcing the law. However, I am sure that the public, every man, woman, and child regardless of his station in life, can rely upon respon sible law enforcement to dis charge its duties of protecting the lives, liberty, and property of all citizens. Local, county, and city auth orities should speak out and let everyone know that law and order will prevail. They must support the enforcement of law and make it abundant ly clear that mobs, riots, and senseless destruction will not be tolerated. And too, Ameri cans must remember that un der our system of government there can be no true liberty for one unless there is liberty for all. - Lincoln once said, “There is ject of redress by mob law.” This is an ageless maxim. The lawful way is the only way to secure equal rights, liberty, and justice for all citizens. Mr. and Mrs. Gerald B. Long are now residing at 1138 Sum mer street.

Upon arrival, the members enjoyed a brief social period, during which delicious refreshments were served by the hostesses. The meeting was opened with prayer by the president, Mrs. C. S. Owens. Miss Dorothy Buzhardt, chaplain, led the opening rituals. Mrs. B. F. Hawkins, program leader for June, presented a most interesting and informat ive talk on “Jefferson Davis, the Man America Needs Today. ” She began her remarks by stating that not only Souther ners, but all true and loyal Americans should be proud of Jefferson Davis, for he was one of the the most famous states men, a bold and fearless mili tary leader, and a peerless up holder of two things that America needs today, constitut ional government and States Rights. Jefferson Davis was born June 5, 1808 in Fairview Coun ty, Kentucky. He was the youngest of ten children. Like the beloved General Lee, he carefully prepared himself for his great service to the country. He was graduated from West Point in 1828, having been ap pointed by John C. Calhoun, w-ho was then Secretary of War. In 1831 young Davis was promoted to First Lieutenant of Dragoons, for gallantry in action, and was later engaged in operations against Pawnees, Comanches and other tribes of Indians. He later resigned his commission to retire to a cotton plantation in Mississippi. He was saddened by the pT • ing of his first wife, daughter of Gen. Zachary Taylor, who died of malaria fever only three months after marriage. Ten years later he was married to a daughter of William B. Howell, son of the Governor of New Jersey. With this courage ous and faithful Christian gentlewoman, he shared all the glory and sorrow of his public life. So great was her devotion she even voluntarily shared his unjust and shameful imprison ment at Fort Monroe after the war. Later she untiringly ass isted him as he wrote his re markable work, “The Decline and Fall of the Confederate Government.” Jefferson Davis in 1845 was elected to Congress but resign ed because of having been elect ed Colonel of First Mississippi Volunteer Regiment of rifles and he served in the Mexican War. Later he was appointed by President Polk to brigadier general of Volunteers, but de clined the higher appointment because he said that such an appointment had been reserved to the states and that the President’s appointment was a violation of the Constitution and of States Rights. In 1847 he was chosen to fill a vacancy in the U. S. Senate and was re-elected for a full term. In 1853, he was appointed Secretary of War by President Pierce, and was again elected to the U. S. Senate in 1857. While serving in the Senate, he was among the most outspoken and determined of all Southern leaders who wanted to uphold the constitution and to maintain the rights of the States under it. The Confederates fought to de fend their freedom and in dependence. Davis was the great statesman and patriot who willingly sacrificed him self in this noble cause which, like “Old Soldier”, will “never die” for, as long as there are true Americans, they will never cease their struggle for this freedom and independence. Mrs. Hawkins concluded with these words: “Let us pray that God will preserve America and give us Christian, fearless leaders like Jefferson Davis, who with the help of all true loyal Americans, will preserve and defend the Constitution of our beloved country, our free dom and our independence. May we all be alert to our present dangers.” After the reading of the minutes, reports from committ- ess were heard and other matt ers of business attended to.
