The Ghost Around Montgomery, Alabama
It is hardly probable that history will repeat itself when
the city of Montgomery, Alabama, comes to its bi-centennial
in the celebration of when she became the Cradle of the Confederacy, 
because of the progress being made on those fronts
which occasioned such a place in history for that Alabama city.
One hundred years ago, a raven, much resembling the
bird immortalized in the lines of Edgar Allan Poe, "perched upon 
that bust" of another "Pallas," of mythology and song. It
was the dork raven of divided states and a wounded Union.
Of that raven, Poe said:
The Confederate government was housed in Montgomery
where Jefferson Davis strutted his unfortunate hour upon the
stage. The rebellion and all of its attendant bitterness centered
around that ancient capital.
Montgomery has a long and colorful history stemming from
the conflict between the states. She slept on into unhallowed and
unmolested tranquility, principally resting upon the laurels of
having been at one time the capital seat of an ill-fated nation.
Montgomery was again to fix the eyes of the nation about
the red shoals of her Alabama river when a seamstress, a Mrs.
Rosa Park, insisted upon^ holding down a seat for which she
held franchise. That franchise was contested upon the same
grounds upon which Montgomery became the seat of the Confederate 
government.
Somewhat of a Moses, not so fortunate as to have been
reared in Pharoah's house, was born into a crusade in which
not even Lot's wife looked back.
The name of Martin Luther King, Jr., made its way to
"Who Is Who" and otherwise to "earth's remotest bounds." It
was his sentiments and his philosophies on segregation which
again brought to life some other lines in Poe's Raven:
But the ghosts still picked at the sheets of Montgomery.
In the contagion of the student sit-down strikes, it was
left for Montgomery to make the greatest emphasis.
Incident upon the expulsion of the nine young men, blamed
for much of the uproar, possibly through the insistence of the
Alabama State Department of Education, and the 1,000 students 
marched in protest; staging demonstrations in song and
prayer on the steps of the Alabama capitol—shouting to the
effect, if you close Alabama State, we go Auburn (meaning
Alabama's State Polytechnic University).

New Era Is A

work he could earn himself a fortune. All he needed was a
little capital and know-how, plenty of initiative and perseverance, 
and Africa was his oyster. Labor was no problem—there
were thousands willing to work for a few shillings a month.
Today the situation is frighteningly complicated, with new
sets of values replacing the old.
Some people have made up their minds already. In the
Belgian Congo, one of the most expensive countries in Africa,
one thing is cheap—property. You can take your pick of suburban 
mansion or country villa.
However, fo revery white settler who sells up and leaves,
two will stay behind. Many of those who do go will belong to
the quasi-settler group—the government officials and big company 
employees who have their homes and families in Africa
but who regard themselves essentially as temporary sojourners.
Throughout middle Africa there are special cases.
In the Belgian Congo there are nearly 30,000 foreigners
whose constant grumble is that they are unfairly discriminated
against by the Belgian authorities. Far from leaving the country, 
many of them would welcome a black Congolese government. 

Even the white farmers, who form an important element
in Kenya, Northern Rhodesia and the Congo, are unlikely to
pack up in a body and leave.
The darling of the Kenya African nationalists, Tom Mboya,
speaks publicly of land reform on the Cuban model—of expropriating 
untilled white estates and handing them over to
the black peasants. But privately Mboya admits that if the
while settlers staged a mass walkout it would be a tragedy for
the county.
The extremist who denies multi-racialism as a solution of
middle Africa's problems, may be forced by sheer economic
necessity to revise his ideas when he comes to power. The white
settler may find the leap from colonialism to independence very
much less drastic than he feared.

Urge Negro Farmers Get
Out "One Crop Rut"
Livestock shows and sales across
the South this month and next
highlight the continued efforts of
Negro agricultural Extension workers 
to encourage farmers to get out
of the rut of one-crop cotton or tobacc 
production.
In Tennessee, W. H. Williamson
and his Extension agents have a
4-H pig show and sale scheduled
for Nashville on March 10. A month
later, a similar event will be held
in Memphis.
Florida's District Extension Agent
J. A. Greham has a two-county cattle 
show and sale set for March 15
and 16 in Quincy.
In South Carolina livestock judging 
contests and shows and sales
ere scheduled for March 23, 31, and
April 1 in Florence and Orangeburg,
announces State Extension Supervisor 
E. N. Williams.
North Carolina has a feeder pig
show set for March 23 in Monroe
and a swine show and sale scheduled 
for the 28th in Windsor, according 
to State Extension Agent R. E.
Janes.
Louisiana's livestock and poultry
show will be held at Southern University, 
Baton Rouge, March 26-31,
says Assistant Sate Agent R. J.
Courtney.
In Mississippi, the livestock show
is scheduled for March 23-25 at
Greenwood, according to State
Leader W. E. Ammons.
Georgia will hold county ham and
egg shows throughout the month,
with the big event at Fort Valley
State College on the 10th, State Supervisor 
Augustus Hill has announced. 

In Texas, swine shows are get for
April 7 in Bryan and April 8 in
Tyler, says State Leader M. V.
Brown.
There There were 214,900 fewer
farms in the united States last year
than there were in 1957, the U. S.
Department of Argiculture estimates.
The estimated number of farms
as of last year was 4,640,900. In 1957
the number stood at 4,855,800. The
annual decline was at the rate of
two percent, about the same as over
the past several years.
Largest shifts took place in the
South, where farms are smaller and
more numerous. In that region the
number of farms dropped from 2,
342,600 to 2,234,800—a decline of
107,800.
Among the States, Mississippi had
the largest decline—17,000; Wisconsin 
came next with a decrease of
11,000. Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, 
Tennessee, and Texas each
lost about 10,000.
While some farmers moved to
town or took urban jobs and quit
farming, others enlarged their holdings, 
increasing slightly the average 
size of farms. Also some farmers 
put their land in the Conservation 
Reserve, or sold it for suburban
development and other nonfarm
uses.
Cotton farmers can save from $5
to $20 per acre by scouting for insects 
and applying poison only when
needed, says The bi-monthly official 
organ of the Arkansas Agricultural 
Extension Service.
Many farmers in that State band
together and hire professional
scouts— including Negro graduates
of Arkansas State College—to check
their cotton at regular intervals for
insect infestation.
Savings achieved throuogh careful
scouting were shown last year in
Mississippi County where recorls
were kept on 6,547 acres. Scouting
showed last that 32 percent of the
acres needed no noisoning, making
possible a saving of from $4,000 to
(16,000, depending on the number of
applications that otherwise might

have been made.
Needy persons here and abroad
received 1,378 millions pounds of surplus 
foods from July to December
last year, the U. S. Department of
Agriculture reports.
About 455 million pounds wents to
3,627,091 needy persons in family
units, and 14 million school children. 
Foreign distribution totaled 923
million pounds.
The domestic distribution was six
per cent less than a year ago mainly 
because of a reduction in the
availability of surplus dairy products 
and a continuing reduction in
the number of needy persons in the
United States.
The largest number of needy persons 
receiving the donated foods
were in Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico,
Mississippi, Michigan, west Virginia,
and Kentucky.
The surpose foods are acquired by
the Department under price support
and surplus removal programs.

THE LAND IS BRIGHT

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
C. S. Army to serve the Confederacy.
Ralph's younger son. Colin, judge of
the district of Denbury was swayed
between adherence to his 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 recaptivated
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 buying it
and living there with Jeannie. At
Ling's cabin Colin is agreed by Ann.
her two small boys and her father.
Enos Pollard, who is in n state of
mental shock.
"PLEASE come into the house,"
Ann Stewart invited Colin
Campbell. "Ling will be delighted 
to see you."
She stood aside and Colin entered 
a large room that was obviously 
the center of the house.
One outer wall was given entirely
to a huge atone fireplace. A long
table flanked by wooden chairs
dominated the center of the room,
and against the far wall stood a
spacious couch covered with
tanned deerskins. At one end of
the couch Colin was amazed to
see shelves crammed from floor
to ceiling with books. On the opposite 
end was a gun rack holding 
four rifles, with an empty
space for a fifth.
Colin lingered in front of the
bookshelves. Plato's Republic was
wedged between Gibbon's Decline
and Fall ot the Roman Empire
and Macaulay's History of England. 
He tried to keep surprise
from his voice as he said, "You
have a fine library here."
"It is my father's library," Ann
answered. "But I am the only
one to read it now."
Colin was filled with curiosity.
What were this beautiful young
woman and her father doing
here? What had happened to the
mind that once studied Gibbon
and Macaulay? How did she
come to be married to an amiable 
woodsman who could neither
read nor write? He would like to
know the answers to all these
but her tone of voice precluded
questions.
"I'm sorry Ling isn't here
Judge Campbell."
"Please call me Colin."
"All right, Colin." She spoke
without a trace of self-consciousness. 
"I'm Ann."
"A proud and lovely name and
most befitting."
"Thank you!" she laughed
"Ling's gone hunting, as usual.
But he should be here soon."
As though her words possessed

some magic which was able to
reach out to her wandering husband 
and bring him to her side,
a moment later Ling entered the
house.
"Why, hello. Jedget Mighty
glad to see you here"
"Hello, Ling!" Colin's greeting
was equally warm 'I thought
I'd accept your invitation to do
a little hunting at Hobbs Creek."
"Sure nough tickled you did!
Them your hounds my kids is
playin' with?"
"Yes, they are."
"Any good?"
"As good as any deer hounds
I know."
"We'll try 'em," Ling promised.
In one hand he carried the
rifle that was missing from the
rack and down his back dangled
a turkey with its head shot off.
Blood still oozed from the mangled 
neck. When Ling laid his
turkey on the table. Colin was
watching Ann. He saw on her
face revulsion and disgust, but be
also saw resignation. Probably
she had long since ceased trying
to explain that turkeys with
bloody heads had no place in the
house, least of all on the dining
table. But just then her father
and little Lingo came in and all
she said was, "Take the turkey
outside and dress it, Dad, will
you?"
Enos caught up the turkey and
Lingo remained at his side as
they left. Ling replaced the rifle
in the rack and turned to Colin.
"Tell you what, Jedge. It's a bit
late in the day to go out huntin'
now. Spend the night here and
we'll go out at dawn in the
mornin'. Meantime, you and I can
go visit some of the folks on
Hobbs Creek before dinner."
"That sounds fine, Ling but
I don't want to put you people
to all that trouble. I brought my
camping gear with me, and a
night out under the stars would
be a real pleasure to me."
But Ling wouldn't hear of it,
and his invitation was cordially
seconded by Ann. Soon the two
men had started up the valley
and into the woods on their way
to the neighbors', the free-striding 
Ling shortening his step to
suit Colin's. At half a mile's distance, 
they emerged into another
clearing.
"Darnley Hamlin's place," Ling
explained as they walked toward
the log house. "Bedloe an' Tracey,
his brothers, lives with him and
his passel of young 'uns."
As they approached the house
a young man of about twenty
came out to meet them. He was
as tall as Ling but more Heavily
built. His hair was red and, like
Ling, he was cleanshaven. He
moved with the same easy woodsman's 
grace, and his grin was
contagious.
"Hi!" Ling called, and when
they were near enough he said
proudly, "Tracey Hamlin, I want
you to meet Jedge Campbell."
"Right glad to know you
Jedge." Tracey's handshake was
warm and his eyes spoke their
own welcome. "Come say howdy
to the rest."
Colin met Darnley and Bedloe,
Tracey's older brothers. He was
introduced to Charity. Darnley's
competent wife. He warmed to
the six children who stared at
him, ran into another room,
peered around the door jamb and
giggled. He accepted with pleasure 
a mug of hard elder.
To his surprise, the talk soon
turned to politics. He would have
thought these men as isolated in
their thinking as they were in
their domain, but they were
aware of all but the very latest
developments in the increasingly
bitter struggle between the North
and the South. About most recent 
events, they questioned him
keenly, phrasing their questions
so as to elicit from him an idea
of his own opinions. Once they
felt sure that he did not share
the views of the planter aristocracy, 
they declared their own
views outspokenly.
"Do you keep slaves?" Darnley
Hamlin had asked him.
"My father has over a hundred
at Quail Wings, our plantation.
On my twenty-first birthday he
gave me two as my personal
slaves, two of the best he had.
The next day I gave them their
freedom and asked them if they
would care to work for me. They
gladly agreed and they are with
me still."
"What did your father say to
that?" Bedloe had put it bluntly.
"He thought I'd lost my mind,
and we've been arguing about it
ever since."
They were not only against
the idea of slavery, believing a
man should "do for hisself," Colin
discovered; they also had a regional 
pride which had been atfronted 
by slave-owning lowlanders. 
"Nobody goin' to ketch us
fightin' so them easterners can
live like kings with all their
slaves waltin' on 'em." Darnley
said. Them easterners has been
bossin' the whole state ot Virginny 
long enough, grabbin' all
the money there is fer schools and
roads and," slyly. "courthouses.
We got to go dear to Wetherly
to find a school and clear to the
next county when one of us gits
into a little ruckus with the law."
He winked at Ling.
Later Colin asked them, "Putting 
aside all your differences
with the east, what would you do
if worst came to worst and federal 
troops entered the state?"
"I reckon we'd fight right
enough," Darnley answered, "or
first thing you know they'd be
takin' over Hobbs Creek."
As he left with Ling, it seemed
to Colin that the opinions of the
brothers Hamlin were more reasonable 
than those of his own
father and brother.

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
C. S. Army to serve the Confederacy.
Ralph's younger son. Colin, judge of
the district of Denbury was swayed
between adherence to his 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 recaptivated
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 buying it
and living there with Jeannie. At
Ling's cabin Colin is agreed by Ann.
her two small boys and her father.
Enos Pollard, who is in n state of
mental shock.
"PLEASE come into the house,"
Ann Stewart invited Colin
Campbell. "Ling will be delighted 
to see you."
She stood aside and Colin entered 
a large room that was obviously 
the center of the house.
One outer wall was given entirely
to a huge atone fireplace. A long
table flanked by wooden chairs
dominated the center of the room,
and against the far wall stood a
spacious couch covered with
tanned deerskins. At one end of
the couch Colin was amazed to
see shelves crammed from floor
to ceiling with books. On the opposite 
end was a gun rack holding 
four rifles, with an empty
space for a fifth.
Colin lingered in front of the
bookshelves. Plato's Republic was
wedged between Gibbon's Decline
and Fall ot the Roman Empire
and Macaulay's History of England. 
He tried to keep surprise
from his voice as he said, "You
have a fine library here."
"It is my father's library," Ann
answered. "But I am the only
one to read it now."
Colin was filled with curiosity.
What were this beautiful young
woman and her father doing
here? What had happened to the
mind that once studied Gibbon
and Macaulay? How did she
come to be married to an amiable 
woodsman who could neither
read nor write? He would like to
know the answers to all these
but her tone of voice precluded
questions.
"I'm sorry Ling isn't here
Judge Campbell."
"Please call me Colin."
"All right, Colin." She spoke
without a trace of self-consciousness. 
"I'm Ann."
"A proud and lovely name and
most befitting."
"Thank you!" she laughed
"Ling's gone hunting, as usual.
But he should be here soon."
As though her words possessed

some magic which was able to
reach out to her wandering husband 
and bring him to her side,
a moment later Ling entered the
house.
"Why, hello. Jedget Mighty
glad to see you here"
"Hello, Ling!" Colin's greeting
was equally warm 'I thought

that "we lag in our moral and
spiritual values wherein lies the
great danger of America today. Nationhood 
will be lost if we do not
start concentration on brotherhood." 
He went on with "power and
strife alone will not hold a nation
together. Christianity is the only
force that can hold a nation together. 
Moral and spiritual values
which motivate love can hold a
nation. Hate which generates centrifical 
force will tear a whole
country asunder.
Spaulding explained further: "I
do not mean to discredit military
force and preparedness. They are
needed. But they cannot do the job
alone. If we refuse to make demo
cracy 
real in America then autocracy 
will grasp for the theat of
democracy an clutch its life out."
The insurance executive concluded 
"let the profile of America be a
beautiful one, reflecting democracy
in fact as well as in theory."
He was presented by Maceo A.
Sloan, CLU, associate agency director 
from the company's Durham, N.
C. office. Host to the luncheon, as
well as master of ceremonies was
L. C. Walker, manager of the insurance 
company's Memphis office.
Other persons speaking briefly on
the program were:
A. Maceo Walker, president of Universal 
Life Insurance company;
George W. Lee, manager of the
Memphis office of Atlanta Life Insurance 
Company, Rev. S. A. Owen,
pastor of Metropolitan Baptist
church; and Rev. C. J. Gaston, pastor 
of St. Peter's Baptist church.

DEMOCRACY

tribe of anger; Warsaw sees it as
a place from which food is sent
Indonesia sees America as a country 
where Negroes are beaten,
where homes, churches, and schools
are bombed Russia sees America as
a land of endless strikes, calamities, 
poverty and slums.
He continued "The question of
Civil Rights is no longer a Negro
problem but it is an American problem. 
The whole world needs to place
more emphasis on human values
because, what will it profit a man
to gain the world and lose his soul."

"And the tog shall answer and
say unto them, verily I say unto
you, inasmuch as ye have done it
unto one of the least of these my
brethen, ye have done it unto me."
St. Mattew 25, chapter, 40 verse.
The law of averages operates in
all your sales activities. To be conscious 
of this law is to increase your
sales with speed and certainty. The
law of averages is a definite law
that eliminates luck, discards
chance, fulfills every requirement,
and affords you a means to reap
the rich and full reward of its application. 

"Ignorance of the law excuseth
no man" is an old legal maxim applying 
to the law of the land. To
commit a crime with the plea of
ignorance of these laws in no way
intereferes with their operation.
The laws are here for us to use and
not using them is certainly no fault
of the law. The law of averages is
a fundamental law of creation. To
apply it is to enjoy its rewards.
The law of averages is expressed
no less than three times in the
Bible: in the 13th chapter of Matthew, 
the fourth chapter of mark,
and the eighth chapter of Luke. In
each of these chapters is found the
"Parable of the Sower." which
plainly states that the sower must
sow his seed before he can expect
to reap a crop. Some seed will fall
by the wayside, some will fall among
thorns, some will fall among the
rocks.
But some will fall upon good
ground and bring fourth fruit a
hundred fold. The secret of the sower 
is the kind of seed that he sows.
The seed must be of good quality
in order to take root when it falls
on the right soil, That which he
reaps will be of the same nature as
that which he sows. If he sows wind,
he will reap a whirlwind. If he sows
sawdust he will reap sawdust Every
thing increases after its own kind.
As the seed contains all the elements 
essential to the plant, so
must ideas contain all the elements
essential to success. You must give
before you can get. So when you
sow and when you give, do it freely
with on strings to it. As Jesus puts
it, accept a kernel of wheat fall into
the ground and die it abideth alone.
But if it die, it bearth much fruit."
You do your part and the seed will
do its part.
The power of creative selling.

Over 1,000 Students

actually were served at one Columbia 
variety store lunch stand. But
the management swiftly closed the
place as soon as the situation was
discovered.
The Rev. James Lawson. Jr., a
32-year-old Negro divinity student
at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, 
Tenn., was expelled following
discovery that he was instructing
Nashville Negroes in passive resistance 
techniques.
Lawson was offered the chance to
resign from Vanderbilt but rejected
it.
University Chancellor Harvie
Branscomb said the issue was not
whether Lawson Was interested in
desegregation but "whether or not
the uuniversity can be identified
with a continuing campaign of
mass disobedience of law as a
means of protest."
A total of 144 sitdown demonstrators, 
five of them white, have
been arrested in Nashville. Sixtyone 
have gone to jail rather than
post bonds.
Nashville city attorneys asked
conviction of six Negroes on charges
of conspiracy to disrupt trade.
Conviction on the charge carries a
maximum $5,000 fine and almost a
year in jail.
The Rev. E. H. Hardge, president
of the Winston-Salem, N. C., chapter 
of the NAACP, said convictions
of 12 Negroes there for counter
demonstrations would be appealed
all the way into federal courts if
necessary. The only penalty they
received was a lecture.
Hardge said the cases would be
"used as tests" in an effort to win
southwide lunch counter desegregation. 

Negroes braved an eight-inch
snowfall in Richmond, Va., Thursday 
to picket the city's largest department 
store Thalhimer's for the
10th straight day in a protest of
segregated lunch counters.
Florida Gov. Leroy Collins called
the sitdowns illegal and urged that
they be halted to prevent disorder
and danger. The state has a law
declaring public restaurants to be
"private enterprise" and owners
have the right under it to refuse
service to anyone.

What Is Considered
"Income" With VA
What is considered "income" in
applying the VA pension under the
new law which goes into effect
July 1.1960?
The Veterans Administration gave
the following guide today since the
amount of annual income determines 
the size of the pension paymet 
or whether there will be any
pension payment at all.
All wages, salaries, profits, interest, 
dividends are considered income. 
So are retirement pensions,
annuities and Social Security payments, 
Harry G. Phillips, Officerin-Charge 
of the VA Office at Memvhis, 
said recently.
In fact, all money received must
be counted as income except these
eight classifications:
1. The compensation or pension
payments received from the VA.
2. Donations from private or public 
relief or welfare sources.
3. Government life insurance
payments and payments of servicemen's 
indemnity.
4. Payments by the Armed Forces
of the six months' death gratuity.
5. Social Security lump sum
death payments.
6. Payments from public or private 
retirement, annuity or ennowment 
plans up to the amount equal
to the money contributed or paid
in by the veteran or dependent in
order to become eligible for the
plan. After contributions have been
recovered all of the pension or annuity 
is counted as income.
7. Proceeds of fire insurance, policies. 

There is an additional exception
for the widow or children of a deceased 
veteran:
8. The money expended for the
burial of the veteran as well as any
money expended to pay off his just
debts may be deducted from income
reports.
Under the new pension system,
which goes into effect July 1, 1960,
veterans or dependents cannot waive
any part or all of a pension, annuity 
or endowment in order to
qualify for VA pension payments
under the income limitations, "Phillips 
said.
Full information on any phase of
the pension program may be obtained 
at the VA Office in Memphis.

Field.

These two cub reporters had the audacity

their most ridiculous statement of

the show in which every

Maybe Mr. Rodgers Lewis and Mr.
