Let The Students Help Out On This Front As an effective contender on the front of civil rights, the students over the country, and especially the deep South, have established themselves as live assets to that cause. The students mind is power in the making and wherever they pitch their tents, there should be the sign of aggressive battle. Recently the students in the Atlanta area drew favorable comment from the local press, the mayor of the city of Atlanta as well as some 134 white ministers who joined in a manifesto setting forth some cardinal principles by which men should move in these times of stress and transition. Just now there is a status quo in the United States Congress relative to a civil rights measure with teeth. The question of civil rights is the all absorbing struggle at this time. The students should follow up their appeal with a shower of letters to the Congress of the United States. They should write such men as Senator Lyndon Johnson, and Senators Jacob Javits, Paul Douglas, Everett Dirksen, Rep. Charles Halleck, and Rep. Sam Rayburn. These men are on the forefront of this civil rights issue and are striving to bring it to a vote in spite of the Southerners filibuster efforts to choke off the rights of —even United States Senators voting! It is indeed unfortunate that Senator Frank Lausche of Ohio would inject extraneous matters to help the Southerners in their objections to a civil rights measure making it a federal offense to obstruct school integration. Senator Lausche got through an amendment which would apply the same to labor questions as well, when he knows that the civil rights bill is aimed directly in defense of thousands of Negro citizens denied the right to vote. Surely the Department of Justice and the executive branch of government should have the power to implement their own prodigies. Let the students form the habit of writing their Senators and Congressmen. This is an effective part of representative government. This will make known the students desires to the leaders of this nation. This is a time of student action; the student must be heard and now let him be heard on this political front. Yes, this is something to sit up for. One doesn't necessarily have to sit down all the time to be effective. The Snow Man —L.

He fined the woman's husband, Dr. Jefferson Underwood, $1 and costs for disobeying an officer when he tried to make bond for his wife at city jail. Another group of students at Howard College and Birmingham Southern College said a petition was sent to the governor Friday denouncing the expulsion of nine Alabama State students for leading an integration attempt at the county court house snack shop. The students said the expulsion order by the governor and the state board of education was "unnecessary and an infringement upon academic freedom." However, the governor's office said no such petition had been received. At Tampa, Fla., a Negro youth involved in a fight during a sitdown demonstration at an all white lunch counter drew a considerably stiffer judgment Friday.

Dodd was sentenced to $100 or 50 days, but his sentence was suspended. White and Negro University of Texas students picketed the school's campus Friday in protest of what they called the "school's segregation policies."

C., Negro student leaders called off a "pilgrimage" Saturday to the State capital building in protest against segregation. Gov. Ernest Hollings had warned that such a demonstration would pot be tolerated. THE LAND IS BRIGHT BY JIM KJELGAARD Copyright 1958 by Jim Kjelgaard. Reprinted by permission of the publisher, Dodd, Mead & Co., Inc. Distributed by K. F. S. Ralph Campbell was 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, judge of the district of Denbury, was swayed between adherence to bis father's wishes and his feeling of duty to the Union. Besides this problem, Colin is having trouble with his aristocratic fiancee, Jeannie Dare. She is not tolerant of his acquaintanceship with two "poor whites." Ling and Ann Stewart, of the backwoods region of Hobbs Creek. Under the circumstances, the promise of diversion from his problems that is presented by Ling's invitation to hunt for game at Hobbs Creek is alluring to Judge Campbell. However, he feels duty bound to visit petulant Jeannie, and is reactivated by her beguiling charm before going to hunt with Ling. On his way to the Stewarts' log cabin, Colin is entranced by a lovely vacant house and visualizes living there with Jeannie. He learns from Ann Stewart that the house is for sale and is amazed to hear that it belongs to her father, Enos Pollard, who is a mental case. Word that South Carolina has seceded from the Union plunges Colin into gloom. He dreads the prospect of political talk at his father's home Christmas Eve, and of his having to make a decision. ... LATELY when Colin Campbell was depressed, bis thoughts turned to Hobbs Creek and, more particularly, to the lovely house Enos Pollard had built and abandoned. "Campbell Hill" he had called it when he confidently told Ann Stewart that ho was sure Jeannie would love it as he did. The house had become for him a symbol of all that his own life seemed to lack these days—calm, dignity, serenity. He recalled bitterly the day he had taken Jeannie to see the house. He bad been tense with excitement and eagerness as they approached the clearing surrounding the house. Now, in retrospect, he knew that Jeannie had humored him by coming at all. She had burst into giggles when he had first told her about it. "Colin, you can't be serious about living way up there with only a few hillbillies and wild animals for company!" But when she had seen that he was serious, in her womanly wisdom she had decided to go through the motions of considering it. She had been impressed in spite of herself. "It is lovely," she said in surprise as they entered the Pollard clearing. And then, evidently remembering the woods and the long climb in back of them she fell silent She did not want to encourage Colin in his crazy idea. "We'll have to go to the Stewarts' first and tell Ann we'd like to go into the house. Perhaps she'll want to show us around," Colin had said. "Why doesn't she live in it herself?" Jeannie asked this question with more petulance than curiosity, for if Ann lived in the house Colin would not be taking her on this wild goose chase. "She didn't volunteer the information and I didn't like to ask her. Certainly there's a strange story there. Ann is obviously an educated person and her father must have been a man of both taste and means. I think I told you that he has lost his mind— that may have something to do with their abandoning the house." Jeannie shivered "Spooky!" "There's nothing at all spooky about Ann. If she had been born and raised along the Connicon you'd have bad to look to your laurels. You'll see." "Wasn't she one of the mountaineers you wanted to introduce me to outside the courthouse one day?" Jeannie asked. "I'm afraid I only noticed her rather peculiar costume." The whole morning had been like that First, there was Jeannie's amusement at the Stewarts' log cabin. "How very quaint!" she had exclaimed when they first came upon it. "Colin, I'm surprised you don't want us to build our own little cabin just like this one." Then there was Jeannie's ill-concealed condescension to Ann. She had not seen the fine features and graceful gestures. She had not noticed the books. She had seen only the homespun dress and the workroughened hands. Later as Ann had ushered them into the drawingroom of the Pollard house Jeannie glanced at the crystal chandeliers and the marble fireplace and asked Ann, "How can you bear to live in that—uh—hut when you could live here?" "Bear it? It is not a hardship for me to live in my husband's house." Ann's cheeks were flushed and she held herself very straight. "In any case, I couldn't live here," she added quietly. "Oh! Why not?" Ann turned away as if she had not heard. Colin quickly drew Jeannie away into another room. "How can you behave so?" he asked angrily. "Sorry," Jeannie answered. "I guess I was trespassing on forbidden ground. What a sensitive creature for a little mountain goat!" "Mountain goat! Where are your "eyes?" "Do let up, Colin. I've said I was sorry." And then in an attempt to placate him she added, "You were right about the house. It's charming. Let's look at the rest of it." Colin's eagerness had returned. "Do you like it?" he asked. "I like it but really, Colin, do you seriously think we could live here, so far from everything?" "It's only a short trip to Wetherly. And Robin can make it to Quail Wings in a little over an hour." "Wetherly! That overgrown trading post! And Robin is all right for you, but what about me? I rode here today to please you, but in a carriage it would take hours to get to Denbury." "What is so interesting to Denbury? Silly gossip and tea parties —would you miss those so much? You could visit your father or stay at Quail Wings whenever you hankered for that life." Jeannie reverted to the argument that had never failed her, She threw her arms around his neck and drew his head down to hers. "Darling, please! Let's forget the house and think just of us. We can live with father if there isn't room st Quail wings —just unto we find something that really suits us." Colin had been wooden in her arms. He had felt nothing but dull disappointment and disgust with himself—for having imagined that Jeannie would share his vision of life together in this house, for having imagined that she was more than an exceptionally beautiful butterfly. It was clear to him that his desire to live in this place had roots he himself had been unaware of; it grew out of his uneasy position in a planter society with convictions he did not share and with a leisurely, graceful way of life which only reminded him of the misery that supported it He wanted to live free among other free men. All this, he knew then, was utterly foreign to Jeannie, Not only wouldn't she agree with him; she would not even know what he was talking about if in explained his feelings. And with this knowledge, the love—belated puppy love it now seemed—he once felt for her died forever. He felt only relief that he knew his own feelings at last. The wealth he had inherited from his grandfather, the Campbell name and his position as judge of Denbury court made him a "catch." As such, Jeannie had been delighted with him. But she was becoming uncomfortably aware that there was more to bet prize than she had counted on— prickly opinions and ideas which might alter the course of the agreeable life she envisioned. Gently, quietly, Colin had said to her that day at Enos Pollard's, "I should have known the house wouldn't appeal to you. We'll explain to Ann Stewart and take our leave." But Ann was nowhere to be found. Colin bad gone back to Hobbs Creek a few days later to tell, her that Jeannie felt the house was too far from friends and family. "It was kind of you to come and tell me, Colin, but I knew, of course. She would be very unhappy here in the mountains." Her tone of voice quiet and polite as it was, told Colin that she and Jeannie would never have been friends as he had once imagined. "Yes, I understand her point of view," Colin had forced himself to say. "But my heart is set on that place. I can't help feeling disappointed." He could not tell Ann what he now knew; that he would never marry Jeannie. WHAT HAS HAPPENED BY JIM KJELGAARD Copyright 1958 by Jim Kjelgaard.

LATELY when Colin Campbell was depressed, bis thoughts turned to Hobbs Creek and, more particularly, to the lovely house Enos Pollard had built and abandoned. "Campbell Hill" he had called it when he confidently told Ann Stewart that ho was sure Jeannie would love it as he did. The house had become for him a symbol of all that his own life seemed to lack these days—calm, dignity, serenity. He recalled bitterly the day he had taken Jeannie to see the house. He bad been tense with excitement and eagerness as they approached the clearing surrounding the house. Now, in retrospect, he knew that Jeannie had humored him by coming at all. She had burst into giggles when he had first told her about it. "Colin, you can't be serious about living way up there with only a few hillbillies and wild animals for company!" But when she had seen that he was serious, in her womanly wisdom she had decided to go through the motions of considering it. She had been impressed in spite of herself. "It is lovely," she said in surprise as they entered the Pollard clearing. And then, evidently remembering the woods and the long climb in back of them she fell silent She did not want to encourage Colin in his crazy idea. "We'll have to go to the Stewarts' first and tell Ann we'd like to go into the house. Perhaps she'll want to show us around," Colin had said. "Why doesn't she live in it herself?" Jeannie asked this question with more petulance than curiosity, for if Ann lived in the house Colin would not be taking her on this wild goose chase. "She didn't volunteer the information and I didn't like to ask her. Certainly there's a strange story there. Ann is obviously an educated person and her father must have been a man of both taste and means. I think I told you that he has lost his mind— that may have something to do with their abandoning the house." Jeannie shivered "Spooky!" "There's nothing at all spooky about Ann. If she had been born and raised along the Connicon you'd have bad to look to your laurels. You'll see." "Wasn't she one of the mountaineers you wanted to introduce me to outside the courthouse one day?" Jeannie asked. "I'm afraid I only noticed her rather peculiar costume." The whole morning had been like that First, there was Jeannie's amusement at the Stewarts' log cabin. "How very quaint!" she had exclaimed when they first came upon it. "Colin, I'm surprised you don't want us to build our own little cabin just like this one." Then there was Jeannie's ill-concealed condescension to Ann. She had not seen the fine features and graceful gestures. She had not noticed the books. She had seen only the homespun dress and the workroughened hands. Later as Ann had ushered them into the drawingroom of the Pollard house Jeannie glanced at the crystal chandeliers and the marble fireplace and asked Ann, "How can you bear to live in that—uh—hut when you could live here?" "Bear it? It is not a hardship for me to live in my husband's house." Ann's cheeks were flushed and she held herself very straight. "In any case, I couldn't live here," she added quietly. "Oh! Why not?" Ann turned away as if she had not heard. Colin quickly drew Jeannie away into another room. "How can you behave so?" he asked angrily. "Sorry," Jeannie answered. "I guess I was trespassing on forbidden ground. What a sensitive creature for a little mountain goat!" "Mountain goat! Where are your "eyes?" "Do let up, Colin. I've said I was sorry." And then in an attempt to placate him she added, "You were right about the house. It's charming. Let's look at the rest of it." Colin's eagerness had returned. "Do you like it?" he asked. "I like it but really, Colin, do you seriously think we could live here, so far from everything?" "It's only a short trip to Wetherly. And Robin can make it to Quail Wings in a little over an hour." "Wetherly! That overgrown trading post! And Robin is all right for you, but what about me? I rode here today to please you, but in a carriage it would take hours to get to Denbury." "What is so interesting to Denbury? Silly gossip and tea parties —would you miss those so much? You could visit your father or stay at Quail Wings whenever you hankered for that life." Jeannie reverted to the argument that had never failed her, She threw her arms around his neck and drew his head down to hers. "Darling, please! Let's forget the house and think just of us. We can live with father if there isn't room st Quail wings —just unto we find something that really suits us." Colin had been wooden in her arms. He had felt nothing but dull disappointment and disgust with himself—for having imagined that Jeannie would share his vision of life together in this house, for having imagined that she was more than an exceptionally beautiful butterfly. It was clear to him that his desire to live in this place had roots he himself had been unaware of; it grew out of his uneasy position in a planter society with convictions he did not share and with a leisurely, graceful way of life which only reminded him of the misery that supported it He wanted to live free among other free men. All this, he knew then, was utterly foreign to Jeannie, Not only wouldn't she agree with him; she would not even know what he was talking about if in explained his feelings. And with this knowledge, the love—belated puppy love it now seemed—he once felt for her died forever. He felt only relief that he knew his own feelings at last. The wealth he had inherited from his grandfather, the Campbell name and his position as judge of Denbury court made him a "catch." As such, Jeannie had been delighted with him. But she was becoming uncomfortably aware that there was more to bet prize than she had counted on— prickly opinions and ideas which might alter the course of the agreeable life she envisioned. Gently, quietly, Colin had said to her that day at Enos Pollard's, "I should have known the house wouldn't appeal to you. We'll explain to Ann Stewart and take our leave." But Ann was nowhere to be found. Colin bad gone back to Hobbs Creek a few days later to tell, her that Jeannie felt the house was too far from friends and family. "It was kind of you to come and tell me, Colin, but I knew, of course. She would be very unhappy here in the mountains." Her tone of voice quiet and polite as it was, told Colin that she and Jeannie would never have been friends as he had once imagined. "Yes, I understand her point of view," Colin had forced himself to say. "But my heart is set on that place. I can't help feeling disappointed."

They are land owners in these counties," said the attorney. "The two counties have the largest cotton allotment in Tennessee issued by the Federal Government. If this year's cotton quota is to be met, Negro farmers will need means and equipment to produce it with for the nation's consumation and world trade." More than 50 farmers from the two counties who came, to Memphis last weekend told of the hardships being leveled against them because a few became registered voters on March 2. White voters are registered at the county court house, the first Saturday of every month. Rev. June Dodwy, a 45-year-old minister-farmer said "most of the farmers are now in a bad way. They are even denied the privilege of purchasing food at some grocery stores when they have cash money. Most of them have to come to Memphis, which is about 40 miles away or go into adjoining counties. We cannot even buy gas for pur automobiles. Hardware and auto parts stotres will not sell us anything." John McFerren, 35, chairman of the Fayette County Civic and Welfare League said, "Sharecroppers are being evicted from farms. Several moved to Tipton and Shelby Counties, where Negroes can register and vote. On March 2 when we went to the county court-house in Somerville, Negroes were not permitted to line-up inside of the court house. We had to stand in line outside in the sleet and rain. All of the big white farmers, merchants, and big business men stood on the inside of the court house watching to see who were registering and later they cut off our credit, and loans. Most of them were carrying guns. Sheriff Davis Myers told us that the was placing deputies at each door in the lobby to keep order, but they were getting the names of all Negroes in the court house." Rev. Dowdy, pastor of Morning View and Prospect Baptist churches, said that Negroes are being denied loans at Somerville Bank and Trust Company, which has been lending Negro farmers, money to plant their crops for many years. R. H. Powell, 67, said that the People's Bank at Stanton, denied him a loan to plant his crops. He said he owns 39 acres of land and has lived in Fayette County 30 years and has been obtaining loans from the bank since 1925. "I wanted to borrow $200." He said a teller at the bank told him "it is best for you to keep your hands off that mess (registering)." Powell said, "I registered because I want to vote." Rev. Velvett Lee Smith, pastor of Morrow Grove Chapel and Asbury CME Church, said that most of his congregation is suffering from the denials." He said, "I stood in line for hours but they closed the office before I could register. But I will go back again and again until I am registered. I've lived in that county for 20 years." The farmers said that some of the white business men said that the Negro farmers will stop trying to register if they continue "to put the credit squeeze on them." Negro farmers said that most of the merchants' patronage come from Negroes who constitute about 75 per cent of the population in Fayette and aboutt 65 percent in Heywood county. Rev. Dowdy also pointed out how grocery distributors, soft drink distributors, baking companies and a certain gas distributor has almost forced the McFerrin Grocery, owned and operated by a Negro, to Close its doors because of their boycott against the owner. "The gas company even dug up their storage tanks in front of his store," said Rev. Dowdy. He added, "some dry cleaners won't even clean garments for ns, now." When asked if the farmers had any plans, for organizing themselves into strong political parties once they are registered, Rev. Dowdy replied: "At first we did not plan to organize into political parties. All we wanted was to be able to vote. But now, since so much pressure has been applied, we are being forced into organizing strong political parties for self protection.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — Negro students staged sitdown protests Saturday at segregated lunch counters at five downtown stores which promptly closed the eating facilities. Sixty to 75 Negroes were involved in the demonstrations which have become an almost dally occurence at stores in Newport News, Hampton, Norfolk and Portsmouth, Va. There were no incidents or arreste at five stores, several of the lunch counters reopened after the Negro students left. Negro college students in Columbia, S. C., called off a scheduled mass "pilgrimage" to the state capitol but indicated there will be other anti-segregation deminstrations later. South Carolina Gov. Ernest F. Hollings issued a strong edict to citizens that such demonstrations as the student tharch on the capital would not be tolerated.
