Ripley Quiet
Continued From Page IL

GERS have started an investigation
at the bottom.
The Major was asked if the names
of the wounded soldiers and me
others mixed up in the shooting
would be released. He said, NO
He stated that testimony is being
taken from the soldiers involved
from Negro and white civilian wit
nesses and from the two white men
involved.
He was asked whether or not
there are adequate recreational
focilitieS for the accommodation OF
the colored soldiers stationed at the
Dyersburg Army Air Field. His reply
was to point out that there is SER
vice club where dances and other
forms of recreation are offered reg
ularly along with movies and other
entertainment. He said the soldiers
went to the place in Ripley just
like any other soldiers out on pass
es who like to visit adjacent towns
and centers.
The Major stated that there had
! been no previous disturbances be-
tween the colored soldiers stationed
at the base and white citizens of
Ripley. However, since the shooting,
Ripley has been declared out-of-
bounds to the Negro soldiers. He
said the restriction would continue
until the investigation was COM
| pleted
One question whichhas not been
answered by any persons contacted
is an account of how the soldiers
could obtain liquor in Ripley. or
anywhere else in Lauderdale County
when the area is legally dry.
Only few days ago, however, 1t
is remembered, several peace Off
GERS were arrested in tthe Ripley
area, charged with transporting l;q-
uOr.
Several reports were to the effect
that in some instances some peace
officers themselves in small West
Tennessee towns own the joints end
night spots frequented by colored
people. This was not established as
a fact, and hasnot been mentioned
in connection with the Ripley Incl
dent.
Three of the soldiers involved in
the fight were arrested after the
shooting and confined overnight In
the Ripley jail, but were turned over
to military authorities next day.

Interesting, Nonetheless

In the December II issue of .Yank," official Army
publication the editor gives Illuminating to the
question of white soldiers in reference to the position
of the Negro after the war.
Negroes, said the joint letter Of the two soldiers
will think that they equal to whites because they have
fought in this war; and white people will feel the
same way about 1t is opinion that they should not
be given equality should be rewarded perhaps by

that all men were created equal No should talk about

Ross stated in his argument be-
fore the Supreme Court Tuesday
that he had been flunked seven
times in successive years, and that
the last time he took the test was
December 16, 1912. He explained
how through politics, trickery and
technicalities he had been pushed
aside, mainly because whites in
Augusta do not want Negro law

had been advised by the bar board
to do as he pleased when he ques-
toned the board about TIE grading
of his papers and the methods used.
He further stated that he had been
given the wrong information as to
securing a hearing further in the
matter He named several promi-
nent white residents of Augusta who
were certain of his qualification,
and presented affidavits affirming
their stands, and establishing their
claims.
The Supreme Court listened with
much interest, questioned Ross and
then reserved their decision, which
will be made known later Ross is
contending that he be certified by
this court or ordered through the
bar board to take further exams.
Ross told WORLD reporter that
of the findings by the Ga. high
court are not favorable to his being
certified or ruling made for the

fair and impartial examination, he
will carry the case to the Supreme
Court of the United States. He stat
