SATURDAY, JULY Ii, 194s


Efforts are being made by prom,
inent Rome city officials and busi-
nessmen to have the whole matter
hushed up. The check given by the
famous singer for bond, was mystic
riously returned uncancelled.
When the case came up for trial
Monday, no one appeared for the
prosecution and it was indefinitely
postponed. Many in Rome are Civ
ing odds that it will never come to
trial. The charges, it was later dis
covered, were the usual blanket dis
orderly conduct.
Meanwhile neither, Mr.. HAYES.
nor his wife were available for a
statement. Just what steps he will
take to secure redress for his hui
initiating experience have not been
announced. The proprietor of the
shoe store, the clerk, and the DO
licemen, it is said, are fearful that
damage suit might be instituted.
Negro citizens expressed the opin-
ion that it was the most dis
turbing thing that had ever hap
pened to the delicately balanced
racial relations in this North Geor-
gia community.

The proprietor, then returned to

His silken wings into the soaring beat
The noon suns leaking gold along the wheat
His little heart the paths of flowers knows
Alike he shuttles the bramble hedge and rose
Carrying fragrant tidings sweet upon his toes.
Fair summers bliss is always his delight,
No sultry day can mar his anxious flight
No lull him in it's restful sleepy bright.
Till autumn's blight he holds the fortress firm
And when her blade hooks out for herb and germ
He crucifes himself to rise worm!
