Republicans Offer A Sound Alternative

Fulton County Republicans in this capital city ran true to
Republican form in its meeting at the courthouse on Saturday.
In its declarations for the principles of representative government 
and the maintenance of our public school system, it served
the whole people.
The committee passed a resolution in favor of continued
public education in conformance with the United States Constitution 
and asked that the legislators repeal laws which would
prevent this continuance in conformance with the Supreme Court
decision outlawing racial segregation in the public schools.
In times like these, with a wide difference of opinion raging 
on several political fronts heretofore unknown to the tranquility 
of a one-party regime and its rigid alternative, a county
unit, it is indeed a healthy situation which provokes rational
thinking among thinking people who see the only way out as
a working two-party system.
Many arguments have been advanced in the past in favor
of a two-party system, only to find explanations or rebuffs in
the "sleeping sickness" of an order willing to succumb to almost 
any condition which hinted of the security in a certain
way of life.
Now, it has come to pass, that there have been projected
many visible arguments as well as vital issues which spell out
to those who are realizng that the present time is one demanding 
a check and balance system if the needs of the people are
to be met.
The delegates named to the State and District conventions
represent a cross section of leaders from many walks of life.
There are men and women of character and courage who will
Stand frim by the principles of Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and
President Eisenhower.
Into such an unsettled condition as we find our state and
the argument over Civil Rights, and the insistence of a hangover 
of an outmoded county unit system, there are no reasons
why the Republicans should not find sound basis upon which
to renew the activities of the GOP which has always come
along when the state famished for the freshness of life and
the vigor of courage and initiative.
The Republicans in Georgia, like those elsewhere, are
squarely facing the biggest issue since 1860 and they offer the
people a sound alternative.

A MESSAGE FROM
"THE MISSION"
"THE MISSION" By Hugh B.
Cave. Doubleday and Company of
New York City. $1.50.

Those who lack courage of their
convictions there who lack
faith in the unforseeable future
those who lack consideration for
their fellowman, could well take
a lesson Hugh B. Cave's chief
character, six-year-old Yolande St.
Juste, in "The Mission."
From the time one looks at the
jacket of the book, bearing a portrait 
of what Cave's mind conjured 
up to symbolize "Yolande"
and until one has competed the
31-pages of the 'Little Clasic," the
Prayer of Saint Francis of A
For Peace, really takes on a deeper
meaning.
Like in the "Prayer For Peace",
Yolande, sews love where there is
hate; pardon, where there is injury; 
faith, where there is doubt;
hope, where there is despair; light,
where there is darkness; and joy
where there is despair; light, Where
there is darkness; and joy where
there is sickness.
This she did as she walked more
than 90 miles to reach Potr-auPrince, 
Haiti to seek her father
after the untimely death of her
mother.
After arriving in Port-au-Prince,
Yolande, a child with physical and
spiritual beauty, learned that she
did not have a famous artist father. 
Who her father was, whether 
he was living, or dead, was the
secret and sin of her dead mother.

Fight Erupts In
Portsmouth Bias
Student Protest
A protest of segregated seating
broke into a chain-swinging street
fight Tuesday between. Negro and
white teen-agers.
One white youth not identified, 
was taken to a nearby hospital
with an arm wound and police
said both Negroes and whites were
blooded.
The youths scattered when police 
arrived and no arrests were
made.
Officers said the fleeing teenagers 
left dog chains and tire tools
behind. An official of Rose's Department 
Store where the battle
broke out said he saw several boys
flash knives.
The fight was provoked when
some 100 Negro teen-agers moved
on the store's lunch counter to
protest segregated seating, a move
that has swept through a number
of Southern states and New York
City's Harlem.
The counter was crowded with
about 50 white patrons, police said
and the Negroes pressed behind
them, preventing them from getting 
up. A waitress sad some Negro 
boys loaned against the backs
of customers.
Witnesses said a Negro youth
banged a white boy's head against
the backs of the counter, touching
off a scuffle which quickly moved
to the street where the teen-agers
employed weapons.
Police said both whiles and 'Negroes 
were armed with chains and
tire' tools The fight involved only
teen-agers, apparently from the
Negro Norcum High School three
blocks away and white Woodrow
Wilson High a half-mile from the
store, officers said.
Deputy Police Chief L. A. Broughton 
said he and Chief L. C. Warren 
visited stores in the Mid-shopping 
Center earlier in the day and
warned them to close their lunch
counters to prevent repetition of
 Negro sitdown protests
with started here Thursday.
Only Rose's declined, Broughton

said, prompting the mass demonstration. 
Small groups have gathered 
at lunch counters in several
stores previously.

Ralph Campbell wan one of the Virginians 
that believed family traditions
and sectional loyalties came first in
either war or peace. His older son,
Macklyn agreed with him and gave
up a commission as colonel in the
U. S. Army to serve the Confederacy.
Ralph's younger son, Colin, the judge
of the district of Denbury was torn
between adherence to his father's
wishes and his feeling of duty to the
Union.
Besides this problem, Colin is having 
trouble with his fiancée. Jeannie
Dare. She is not tolerant of his courtesy 
to two new acquaintances he
made when presiding at a trial. Ling
und Ann Stewart from the backwoods
region of Hobbs Creek. The promise
of diversion from: his problems that
is presented by Ling's invitation to
hunt for game at Hobbs Creek is
extra alluring to Judge Campbell
under the circumstances. However, he
feels duty bound to visit petulant
Jeannie.
CHAPTER 6
WHENEVEH Colin Campbell
had thought of his future
with Jeannie Dare—and he had
thought of it less and less frequently 
in the three months since
her return from school in Baltimore, 
he admitted—he had envisioned 
a life at Quail. Wings.
Now with his brother Macklyn
and his family coming home to
stay, with two like-minded adversaries 
in the house, perhaps he
needed a roof of his own.
But where? Quail Wings was
his home and he loved it, but he
had no particular love for Denbury 
and its society. The two
things that bound him to Denbury 
were his work and Jeannie.
Jeanniel As her image rose before 
his eyes, he realized that he
was sure of nothing. Jeannie, too,
had envisioned life with him at
Quail Wings as mistress of the
finest plantation for miles around.
Colin felt suddenly and strongly
that much of her feeling for him
was bound up in this vision.
After his stallion, Robin, turned
in at the driveway to Dare's
Landing, Colin handed him over
to a stableboy. He hesitated a
moment before climbing the front
steps and lifting the brass knocker 
on the massive door.
"Is Miss Jeannie at home?" he
asked the houseboy who answered
to his knock.
"No, suh. Miss Jeannie gone
callin'."
"Is Mr. Tom at home?"
"Come in, suh." He escorted
Colin down the hall to the study.
Tom Dare, who had been working
at his desk, rose with his hand
extended when Colin came in. He
was a man who would command
a second glance in any crowd. His
face was ugly and yet not unattractive 
in the manner of a
bulldog's. His features were set
into a pugnacious expression, His
eyes were ordinarily expressionless 
and seldom offered the slightest 
hint about his thoughts.
Almost forty years ago, with
two hundred pounds in his money
belt bequeathed by a thrifty mercant 
father. Tom Dare had sailed
from England to make his for
tune 
in America. Now, it was
rumored, his wealth exceeded that
of even the most affluent planters. 

He said, "Jeannie's gone to see
Laura Talmadge. She should return 
soon."
She had known he was coming,
Colin thought, and he tried to
mask his irritation. Tom saw
through the mask.
"During my life, Colin, I've
found the answer to a few riddles
but woman is one riddle I've
never understood."
Colin grinned. "I'll wait if I
may."
"You are very welcome. Have
you read the newspapers since
the election? War seems nearer
with every passing hour."
"You believe that, too, do you?"
Colin asked.
"You mean you think there is
some hope?"
"That depends on the new
president."
"You don't expect anything but
trouble from that gorilla," Tom
Dare growled. "Have you read
any of his speeches?"
"All that have seen printed.
He seems like an eminently sensible 
and reasonable fellow, for a
Republican."
"Sensible? Why, lie talks like
a raying lunatic with all this
business of a nation not being
able to exist half slave and half
free. It's existed perfectly well
up to now. Not, mind you, that
I don't believe all this talk of
secession isn't lunacy, too. But
the states that are seething with
propaganda will leave the Onion
sooner or later, I'm sure ot that.
There are too many tools in responsible 
positions, North and
South. Some idiot will bring
about an outright act of war
and—" Tom Dare shrugged and
moodily continued, "that will be
a black day for the South. She
may fight to the last man, but
she cannot possibly win."
"Why?" Colin could not help
feeling a little angry, although he
held the same opinion.
Tom Dare laughed. "Don't take
mo wrong. Man for man, the
Southerner is more than equal to
the Northerner, though I question 
local opinion that he's five
times as good. Even if he were,
this will not be a war ot men
alone. It will take factories,
money, railways, ships—and in
these the North is way ahead of
us. The South may fight for as
long as two years with the resources 
at her command and those
that ingenuity may create. But
what will happen when everything's 
exhausted?"
"Much as I dislike to admit it,
I agree with you," Colin sighed.
"1 trust I'm interrupting nothing 
too momentous." Jeannie had
come in so silently that neither
man had heard. She stood in the
open doorway, her checks rosy

from the autumn wind. Colin felt
a sudden return of the old warm
feeling and he knew again, as he
had known in the beginning, that
she was one of the most beautiful
women he had ever seen or ever
would see. Her lips were parted
in a half-smile, but her eyes were
teasing. "I'm sorry to be late,
Colin."
He said gallantly, "You are forgiven." 

"My dashing knight! I'll be
down as soon as I've tidied up a
bit. Don't be completely tiresome,
Father."
"I'll try, not to, darling."
As Tom Dare droned on about
a shipment sent to England,
Colin's mind harked back to the
day he had really become aware
of Jeannie Dare.
Riding quietly a trail bordered
by trees beside the Connicon,
Colin had halted his mount at the
edge of a clearing and looked out.
Close by there was a most
beautiful girl. She looked to him
somehow like a moonbeam who
had ventured into broad daylight.
Then he realized who she was
and gasped, "Jeannie Dare!"
She teased him, "I had no wish
to frighten you, Colin."
"You—you've grown up!"
"I'm almost eighteen."
"I haven't seen you for—for—"
"For at least a year," she supplied. 
"Father decided to hide me
away at Miss Darnley's in Baltimore." 

"I must say hiding agrees with"
you," Colin said recklessly, "May
I escort you home?"
All that summer he saw her
often, as often as he possibly
could. Until that time, so intent
had he been on his work, so eager
in those first years out of law
school to learn all there was to
know about the practical ways
in which the law could solve the
tangles people wove for themselves, 
that he had allowed no
woman to disturb him seriously.
That summer, for the first time
he "was powerless, helplessly
drawn to this slim, silver-fair girl.
He, who had hoarded his leisure
for reading or riding, found himself 
present at every ball. M first
he had pretended to himself that
his attendance was mere sociability. 
But the pounding of his
blood' at the sight of Jeannie's
face in a crowded room made a
sham ot his pretense. Jeannie,
more experienced than he for all
her youth, saw through it before
he did.
It was no surprise to her when
one evening as they walked in
the garden at Dare's Landing
he took her in his arms and between 
feverish kisses murmured
brokenly. "I love you, Jeannie
darling—marry me—"
Before she returned to Baltimore 
for her find year at Miss
Darnley's they were engaged.

BETWEEN THE LINES

As this column has intimated
time and again, the time, for the
Negroes' Strict adherence, to certain 
party loyalties is past. In the
nature of things the Negroes are
out to drive a political bargain,
and woe is unto them if they drive
a bad one.
For year and years after Emancipation, 
the Negroes followed the
Republican party line-and even
slavishly. With the coming of the
inimitable Franklin Delano Roosevelt, 
there came a significant
change in the Negro's political
thinking, and he turned to the
Democratic Party and found in it
many political advantages.
As Gunnar Myrdal said in "An
American Dilemma," it was under
Roosevelt's administration that
was made the first serious attempt 
to integrate the Negro into 
American life.
All that went before was so
much political palaver, designed
to catch the Negro's vote, without
letting him in on, the great advantage 
of full citizenship.
Whatever may have been right
or wrong with the Roosevelt regime, 
there was a serious attempt
to have the Negro share in full
the benefits ot our vaunted democracy. 
Negroes accordingly flocked
to the democratic standards andhis 
political aspiration soared.
Iit was even under the democrats
as with the Israelites under the
Pharoahs, there arose in Egypt a
Pharosah who knew not Joseph. So
there arose a leadership in the
Democratic party those who knew
not Franklin Delano Roosevelt;
and politically the Negroes fell upon 
previous times.
The democrats who represented
the Old South name into power
land the democratic party was
soon manipulated after a manner
to perpetuate the Old South's traditions 
in its treatment of the Negro 
race.
It is true that Negroes elected
to Congress were elected' on the
democratic platform, hut this has

not stopped the Old south's representatives 
from hamstringing Congress 
for segregationist ends
When Vice-President Nixon returnd 
from Russia where be had
the courage to stand up to
other American had done, this
Khrushchev and talk back, as no
column declared in one of its re
leases 
that "Nixon Looked Tremendous. 
"Nothing has transpired
within recent months to alter this
observation, and we are again declaring 
that "Richard Nixon Looks
More Tremendous."
In the nature of things, the Negro 
must be a political opportunist. 
He must support the political
party that supports his aspirations
to full equality in this country, The
democratic party is at present in
the full control of the politicians
of the Old South and cannot be
depended upon to advance the
cause of the Negro's fuller freedom.

Political Opportunism For The Negro

or wrong with the Roosevelt regime, 
there was a serious attempt
to have the Negro share in full
the benefits ot our vaunted democracy. 
Negroes accordingly flocked
to the democratic standards andhis 
political aspiration soared.
Iit was even under the democrats
as with the Israelites under the
Pharoahs, there arose in Egypt a
Pharosah who knew not Joseph. So
there arose a leadership in the
Democratic party those who knew
not Franklin Delano Roosevelt;
and politically the Negroes fell upon 
previous times.
The democrats who represented
the Old South name into power
land the democratic party was
soon manipulated after a manner
to perpetuate the Old South's traditions 
in its treatment of the Negro 
race.
It is true that Negroes elected
to Congress were elected' on the
democratic platform, hut this has

not stopped the Old south's representatives 
from hamstringing Congress 
for segregationist ends
When Vice-President Nixon returnd 
from Russia where be had
the courage to stand up to
other American had done, this
Khrushchev and talk back, as no
column declared in one of its re
leases 
that "Nixon Looked Tremendous. 
"Nothing has transpired
within recent months to alter this
observation, and we are again declaring 
that "Richard Nixon Looks
More Tremendous."
In the nature of things, the Negro 
must be a political opportunist. 
He must support the political
party that supports his aspirations
to full equality in this country, The
democratic party is at present in
the full control of the politicians
of the Old South and cannot be
depended upon to advance the
cause of the Negro's fuller freedom.

POLITICAL PALAVER

As this column has intimated
time and again, the time, for the
Negroes' Strict adherence, to certain 
party loyalties is past. In the
nature of things the Negroes are
out to drive a political bargain,
and woe is unto them if they drive
a bad one.
For year and years after Emancipation, 
the Negroes followed the
Republican party line-and even
slavishly. With the coming of the
inimitable Franklin Delano Roosevelt, 
there came a significant
change in the Negro's political
thinking, and he turned to the
Democratic Party and found in it
many political advantages.
As Gunnar Myrdal said in "An
American Dilemma," it was under
Roosevelt's administration that
was made the first serious attempt 
to integrate the Negro into 
American life.
All that went before was so
much political palaver, designed
to catch the Negro's vote, without
letting him in on, the great advantage 
of full citizenship.

ABUNDANT LIFE
by ORAL ROBERTS
Sickness is a terrible thing.
Disease has brought more suffering, 
pain and heartache than
almost anything else. A person
will do almost anything to rid
himself of sickness.
The Bible teaches that God
wants everyone to be healthy.
One of my favorite Scriptures
says, "Beloved, I wish above all
things" that thou mayest prosper
and be in health, even as thy
soul prospereth" (3 John 2).
A person need never feel too
ill or too far from God for Him
to help them. He is no respecter
of persons. He healed the servant, 
of the Roman centurion.
He healed the daughter of the
Syrophenician woman and she
was not one of His followers.
He wanted them to be healthy.
However, through these contacts 
the people became followers 
of God.
Sickness is not placed on anyone 
by a loving and good God.
Sickness does not come from
God—He does not want anybody 
to be sick. He does not
place disease on anyone's body
for any reason. The Book of
Job says that the devil afflicted
Job—that all his ill health came
from Satan. Later that same
book says God changed things,
that Job came out on top. We
can't blame God by insinuating
that He hates us and makes us
ill and weak
We are told that the human
body completely changes every
seven years, which means that
there is constant healing and renewing 
taking place in our
bodies day and night. Healing
comes through the food we eat,
good doctors and medicine, favorable 
climate, love and understanding. 
Right thinking has a
great healing influence upon
our bodies, and the Bible says,
"The prayer of faith shall save
the sick, and the Lord shall raise
him up." Prayer can go to God
and bring His healing touch.
God isn't ten million miles
beyond the sun, moon and stars,
but in our hearts and standing
beside us. And He wants us to
be healthy.
Gail Caton was a little girl
who everyone believed would,
die. In fact, when she became
afflicted with aplastic anemia,
she was automatically marked
for death. Fifteen others had
been fatally stricken with this
malady, and the doctor gave
her only four months to live.
This five year old was born
too soon for medical science to
help her—even the specialists
could do, nothing.
But God wanted her to live.
He wanted her to Be healthy.
Today, Gail is strong and
well. God is a good God and
He brings abundant life, which
includes health for our bodies.

Increase In Infectious
Diseases In U.S. Noted
More slates and
cities reported increases in early
infectious syphilis in fiscal 1959
than for any previous year since
1953; yet not even one sixth of the
early infectious syphilis or onequarter 
of the gonorrhea estimated
to occur each year is being found
and treated.
This data is contained in the
ANNUAL JOINT STATEMENT
ON TODAY'S VENEREAL DISEASE 
CONTROL PROBLEM
which was released Tuesday by The
American Social Health Association. 

The statement is sponsored by
The American Social Health Association, 
The Association of State
and Territorial Health Officers
and The American Venereal Disease 
Association, and was developed
from information provided by the
health department of all 50 states,
3 counties, 91 cite with population's 
over 100,000, and the District
of Columbia
The number of early infectious
syphilis cases increased, from 6,661
in 1958 to 8.178 in 1959 or 22.8 percent. 
Gonorrhea rose from 220,191
in 1958 to 237,318 in 1959 or 7.8 per
cent.
There is every evidence that
these trends will continue. First
quarter reports for fiscal 1960
show 42 per cent more cases of
early infectious syphilis than for
the same period last year.
Data received from the British
Isles also indicate a sign ficant
rise in venereal disease. The British 
Co-operative Clinical Group
report increases in all ages for
males through 59, and in all ages
except 35-49 for females.
During the past year, VD continued 
to increase in the teenage
population. It is up 14.3 per cent
in the, 10-14 age, group over 1958
and 11.4 per cent inthelS-19 group
"Startling as these rates are,"
said Conrad Van Hyning, American
Social Health Association executive
director, "they do not begin to
show the complete picture. Over
half the VD caseloads in public
clinics are teenagers and young
adults, but there are indications
that only one out of four teenage
VD cases are brought to diagnosis."
The Statement also points out
the greatest concentration of repored 
VD in all age groups is in
cities having populations over 100,
000.
In New York City, for example,
early infectious syphilis is up 59.6
per cent in the 1014 "age group and
78.3 per cent in the 15-19 group.
Los Angeles county and San
Francisco cite rises in all stages of
syphilis and gonorrhea as do Philadelphia, 
Pittsburgh, Atlanta, and
Chicago.
The Statement indicates 3 major
blocks to VD control. They are:
Lack of private physician partici
pation in casefinding and reporting; 
lack of knowledge about VD
coupled with a reluctance among
parents, teachers, school admin'strators 
and health workers to support 
and participate in educational 
efforts; and insufficient funds.
Over 23 million people in the U.
S., live in areas which have inadequate 
facilities and personnel for
VD control.
