BREED IN I am one of the unprotected crowd. We are in the over whelming majority, but we are unorganized, every man by him self and running to cover at ('very sipn of danger 1 repeat that all ot us have nyhts. even thouyh our rights are bemy trampled on since we yo all out to protect every yroup ot ' lawbreakers" which call for help from all branches of the federal < iovernment. Someone has asked what I think should be done in this sit uation. so I'll tell you I have had some experience with mobs and mob psycholoyy 1 think the Governor of the State should use the full power of the State to clear all the area around the South Carolina Medical College Hospital. The condition now existing is a disgrace to the State and in sult to the dignity of all the citizens of the State. There are timid souls who tear that stern measures would provoke trouble but we have the trouble now and have had it for three months. We note that men and organ izations ot Northern States have sent moiKw to support the riot. II <uir Northern Iriends wish to clean up the bad situation wh\ don't they concentrate on New York City and even the city of Washington. D. C.? As I indi cated before it is possible that all this help is a violation of our interstate relations. I come next to the Mayor of Charleston: he should exhaust a full police power of the city, even though the Hospital is a State Institution. I have observed that there is one man who seems to engi neer the whole rebellion. All the authorities know that this man is from out of State and I think he should be arrested and de ported. I know, of course, that there would be a loud yell for Federal Government interven tion. but 1 would act first. Then I suggest that a Magis trate and the Solicitor of that Circuit order an arrest of that man. This whole affair in Charles ton is a flagrant defiance of the whole State of South Carolina. I know I am stirring up the ashes of a great past, but 1 recall that our grandfathers and great-grandfathers a 1 w a y s a greatgrandfathers always acted like men; and they followed Wade Hampton in 1876 and re deemed our State. 1 am not proud of the weak ness of our State on this oc casion. To boil it down: there is one person known as the in stigator and we should handle him at once. A long time ago we thought of America as the land built on 1 .QP We're headquarters for the insurance on your boat, motor, trailer and accessories. 1418 Main Street Phone 276-1422 the Bible and under the special protection of Jehovah. From common reports of Universities and other gatherings there seems to be a so-called practi cal life that rules Jehovah out. Our churches seem crowded but there may be a waning of spirit uality. We still have the Bible, whether it is read or not. And we still have that appealing hymnology of the Churches. I quote two of the hymns: “How firm a foundation, Ye Saints of the Lord, is laid for your faith in His excellent Word. What more can He say than to you He hath said, You who to Jesus for refuge have fled.” And this: “0 God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home.” The supreme law of the Unit ed States is not an \ct of Con gress or an order of Court supreme: the supreme law is the Constitution of the United States, though frequently disre garded by the Congress, t h e President and the Courts. Now we have the Supreme Court in amazing violation of the Constitution. The House of Representatives expelled a member, a colored Baptist preacher, Adam Clayton Powell, and now the S u p r e me Court declares the House has no authority to expell Powell, but here is what the Constitution says: “Each House shall be the judge of the elections, returns, and qualifications of its own members”. (Section V). So now, where are we 9 Mrs. Bowler heads district auxiliary Mrs. S. F.
