There Are
Hundreds Left

Hundreds Left
When the ministers preach the
funeral of these boys who went
to trial without a lawyer, except
the ones furnished by the state,
they are bound to think of the
hundreds of other boys in this
town which provides few guide
post for Negro youths, but which
exacts a heavy penalty of those
who err.
It's a "knock on any door, pro-
position in Martinsville. These
boys committed their first sin
when they selected this town to
be born in. This week and next,
they will pay for their folly. But
somehow as we take a last look at
the hollow of the fringe of town
where these boys lived and where
they will be buried, we can't help
saying to ourselves, "Gosh, it
might have been you"

Youngsters Recreation

SAA0A
Youngsters Recreation
The youngsters have their re-
creation in the Baldwin Block,
seeing western movies and drink
ing wine and beer. Mothers of the
Martinsville boys have no qualms
about telling you that their 49,
'year-old sons had been drinking
on the night of the alleged rape.
Drinking is part of the recreation
like the loose living which results
in the town having more than its
share of illegitimate children.
The town will turn out for the
funeral. And most of the people
will be genuinely sad. They don't
want the boys to die. Atty. Will
liam T. Alexander told the Capt.
tai Press club committee that both
white and colored people of Mar
tinsville were opposed to the
death sentence. 1t makes every
body feel guilty in a community
where sex is taken for granted
|outside of wedlock.
But the preachers will do their
job. They will tell their listeners
about James and Howard Hair
ston, brothers who were convert
ed in prison. They will tell about
Frank Hairston, no relation to
the brothers, who helped his
father keep their little cottage
painted and prim. Franks 104-
year-old grandmother will strain
Ito hear what the preacher says.
Then there's Booker T. Millner,
who tried to enlist in the army
three months before the night of
Jan. 8, but was turned down. IT.
onically, he took a job sketching
Fname designs on tombstones for a
monument company. Soon, he will
have a tombstone over his 2O-year
old body.
A skirt of woods and a brook
away, lived John Taylor with his
Widowed mother. His father died
when he was seven and a few
years later, he took a job in a
tobacco warehouse to help keep
thinks going. Altogether he has
six brothers and sisters.
Then there are Joe Hampton
and Francis Grayson, the latter
isn't a boy. He is the father of
five children.

Seven Brings Hon
Sins of Omission
By Alice A. Dunnigan, Sherman
Briscoe and Oscar Haynes
MARTINSVILLE, Va. (ANP)
The biggest and saddest funeral
this town has ever seen will be
held on the first Sunday in Aug
ust from five different churches
when the last rites of the seven
Martinsville boys will be conduct
ed.
Of course, the boys are not
dead yet, but four Of them will
walk to the electric chair in the
Virginia State Prison next Fri
day and the other three will fol-
low a week later unless Gov. John
Battle commutes their sentences.
They r dying for the alleged
rape Of Mrs. Ruby Floyd, a 32-
year-eld white woman, on the
evening Of Jan. 8, 1919.
Funeral services for these boys
will be no ordinary rites; they will
be more than that more like OBJ
sequies for the whole town for
whose sins Of commission these
boys r dying.
Town Of Martinsville
What kind Of town is Martins
vile anyway? FITS a town of TO-
900, situated SO miles south of
Roanoke with it's shoulder pressed
against the knee Of the Blue Ridge
mountains. IT'S a textile mill and
furniture factory town; It's a one
block town the Baldwin :
where its 5000 Negro inhabitants
seem to gather every Saturday
night to make love and even
scores.
DR.. D. O. Baldwin, who owns
the block, spends most Of his
nights sewing. Sewing up wounds
that heal the outside. But there
are wounds that his suture can
not reach = wounds of spirit. The
mill workers, who are last hired,
first fired, and never promoted,
try to sooth these wounds with
whiskey and beer in a dry county.
MartinsviHe is half-white, and
every other colored person you
meet is named Haifston : named
for Watt Hairston and his clan
who ruled this town when it was
a mere commissary for his slaves.
Yes, the town is half-white,
Makes you think that, well there's
been a lot Of raping going on
here.
You say, what about the schools
and recreational facilities for Ne
gro boys and girls? Well, since
the old school burned down over
a year age, the high school young
sters have been having class in
halls and defunct mite clubs. How
ever, the new school promises to

Additional Safety
Measures Proposed

Citing several recent safety inn
provemeuts at the Grantsville Coal
Company's Shaw mine near Grants
vile, Federal reinspection report
issued by the Bureau Of Mines pro
poses additional safety measures.
When reeXamined in January by In
spector Harry jones, the mine en-
ployed 20 men and averaged As tons
Of coal daily.
Safety measures instituted since
the last inspection, Jones said, in
Guided erecting fire doors at effective
points in the mine openings, carrying
explosives in suitable containers,
making weekly air measurements, re-
cording OF weekly examinations for
hazards, and using enclosed trip
lights.
While noting that enough air was
being circulated in the active places,
the inspector proposed provision Of
mechanical means of ventilation to
assure a steady supply Of air under
ground, as wen as making preshift
examinations for explosive gas and
other hazards.
Among other recommendation
were closer attention to loose haul
ageway roof, storing explosives more
safely in several places, removing
materials obstructing clearance space
along one haulageway, providing
suitable tire-fghting facilities under
ground, and eliminating such fire
and ignition hazards as using open
flame lights and smoking in the mine.

Christion Church
BY Rev. Marshall L. Shepard
For the NNPA News Service

Many of us have been disturbed
by wars and rumorS of wars that
hang like a dark threatening cloud
over our international horizon.
Men in high places tell us that
our whole way of life is involved
in what few men do with our for
eign policy in. this immediate fu-
ture. Others freely predict that an
other world war would mean the
end of our civilization.
Two years ago a former diplo-
mat and Governor of Pennsylvania
predicted that this end of our civil
ization was only five years away.
What a dismal picture!
Let us remember that the Bible
says Righteousness exalteth Ma
tion."
Now, if we could get enough of
the ethical preached and expressed
in our society, then our civilization
need not break up, whatever the
Opposition.
In the times of the Old Testa-
ment prophets and the early
church of the New Testament,
Gods people witnessed the rise and
fall of civilization, but they did
not go to pieces, because their
saints hel onto that which was
eternal.
There are some things in our
civilization, and even in our Or
ganized church life that are abom-
Unable in Gods sight and ought to
go. But there are some basic as
sumptions of our civilization that
shall never pass away-come what
may.
I shall never give my loyalty to
any order of society that exalts the
state above God or denies the
Fatherhood of God and the broth
erhood of man, or the sacredness
of the individual personally, or the
supremacy of love as exemplified
in Jesus Christ.
These seem to be of eternal val
ue and are worth standing for
amid all the clash of systems on
this planet called earth.
Our little systems have their day;
They have their day and cease to
be.
But Thou, o God, are more than
they.

legalized gambling would retard
