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.

Mrs. Hawkins
is speaker at
UDC meeting
The Calvin Crozier Chapter
of the U.D.C. met at 8 p.m.
Tuesday, June 6 in the home of
Mrs. A. T. Neely, Sr. Associate
hostesses were Mrs. James
Smith, Sr., Mrs. Thompson
Price, Mrs. Ben Anderson, Miss
Dorothy Buzhardt, Mrs. J. F.
Haw’kins and Mrs. George
Davenport. 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.
