HEADED AGAIN I'OU THE U. S. SUPREME COURT Judge \\ . Cjllihan ly U>re whom the Scott..hero hoys have been tilde has refused a new trial for the .'1 hoys upon, whom hi j,j, nouncod "varied 'sentence.-; though convicted of the same -alleged crime. Of course, no -one with good sense expected anything else. One, out el' charity,, might find some little?excuse for the jut its v iade of the material tliev were and under all of theeircum-tances, for their", verdicts, but for Judge Callihan, nothing can -be said other than he is not fit for the high pw?*itloivof a judge. Tie pu.'secution confessed in turning lou-e 4 of khose hoys that the prosec.iting woman \*as not telling tlv truth. In fact, that what she said was not worthy of belief. That judge knows all of that. He ha< heard the.same old tal" for almost a dozen different times. And yet, devoid of fairness, justice and decency, he would see J of these hoys upending the rest of their lives in prison and caio electrocuted. Appeals will again be made to the - ' U.U. S. Supreme Court. Of course, before going there, there will have to be an appeal first to the Alabama" Supieme Court, but that wil mean only a delay in getting to a real Supreme Court. The Alabama Supreme Court sees eye to rye with Judge Callrhan. It has through all these 'years. Its just too bad that time and money have but there is no other way. "S'cottsbo-o" is but an example of what does, can and will happen anywln re where the decent element iv not in the ascendency. :-o ?? < \ Kampbellgrams : X Stephen C.

Owing to tho fact that Monday ; is our pen-pushing day and tha \\v found ourselves too busy t< snatch time enough from othei pressing duties, we had to pas; up the ' [ '( h<,os" la-t week. Am i-hc thing ..almost happened agaii <i(|?ty. but wo find a few nnRut'-: though it lie late in the afternoon [ We had the pleasure of attend ' i: g th<> opening session of th< Training School Toe-, Christiai woi ker>. . If the first everitftg ses ' sion was an index as tr; the week': 1 service-then indeed it mast havi ! been a great meeting and one tha ' made a good impression upoi those that are willing to be spen j in carrying forward the cause o I tho Maker among men. Thos< "'I' - . . _ T | that graced the program in extend'i ing welcome were Mrs. Nelliei Jatges, Rev. E. C. Wright, J as. A. Tolbert, Dr. A. E. A. lluggins all playaed their part to the sat! isfactixm of the large crowd of , delegates and friends present. , TnC good bishop of the church responded in a .way that was entertaining and instructive. He carried out the program. He said Greenville was alright?and it is. We thank our good C. M. E. coworkers for such a school. . Despite that Sunday was 'Temperance Sunday and a splendid scripture selected from which to | learn of the evils of strong drink . yet many were they that sat at the Wheel of the auto who had bibed freely. Just above our home a fearful wreck took place, smash; ing up 2 cars and sending 4 to the ' hospital. At this writing they are al alive, but with badly bruised bodies. I ' * <*. l We heard a prominent preacher say Tot so long ago, that he was m.' thoroughly disgusted with men wearing, hats at funerals whrle in church that the next time it hupp* ns, at .hi^ church, e means to stop, give a short but polite talk on the subject of honoring i the dead. Then in\;rte all to uncover. If perchance there be a "billy" present with more nWan |..v.c- iituu ^uuu bviiay, \\(iu reiusj os t?; take his old flop-down, out uf .style, greasy and dirty hat or I ? ap oil', then and there he will exj plain that, the rulc's of hi? church a:e niili tu wear hat's "off" while i church, funeral or what not. And unless everybody comply, the ei vice stops, and the benediction will bo pronounced. Good! That's what "should be done. I But we throw this out: we j would advise no 211 divine to try it. Only real .preachers had best j tackle such problems. We won] dor how many can: qualvfv. r. ???' ' I \Yc have about decided that a' large number of eoloved folks are made out of mighty poor stuff. In fact take them up one side and down the Other and when its over j you generally have a big bag of wind, that amounts to only noise. ; Then we arc so inconsistent. A j few years ago just a row, one preshW.t >ilamod a judge from .North Carolina to fill a vacancy on the Supreme Court bench. Negroes all over the country sent up a protest. In fact they turned i 1 hoav< n and hell upside down, so to speak, yelling against his conf.cmaU'oii and finally the nomina ii>m wa. withdrawn: And the big | -hots- along-all lines, newspapers land all ?let tlv world know that I thev had save<i the race. The ot her. day a man was named for I that hiirh s^'at?to'Vtart with who hailed from the wrong state?. ILe_ :riid wtts?very popular in his home iate. Rut i;f my memory irvos me rightly, that state has [a-mighty, black record when it .M.nifs U ilea liny out justice to . oii.Yed citizens. Now we knpw that coiiip u isons smell like oveh | ttjrv eggs, but we must say if we aic-ito choose between two evils, i thousand times give us a judge hiu n and raised i? the old North -tale in preference to a son c;f .
