ROBERT H. O'NEAL, II, one of
Manteo's most beloved men, died
at 5:15 am. Friday morning, after
a short illness. Most of his life
had been spent in Hyde County,
but he removed to Manteo from
his home in Fairfield about 25
years ago, and with his faithful
team-mate, Mary, established their
home and have led a successful
and happy life. 1t is doubtful that
any citizens have been held in
higher esteem in this community.
On Sunday, when the last rites
were held at the Manteo Methodist
Church by Rev. Louis Aitkin, the
building was packed, and numer-
GUS friends came from the old
home to pay honor to his memory.
Many attended from Norfolk,
Ocracoke Island, and other distant
places.
Mr.. O'Neal's wife is his only sur
viving close relative. She is the
former Mary Burrus, and a prod
duct of Dare County. The couple
have long been affectionately
known as "Uncle Bob" and "Aunt
Mary" His parents were the late
Stanley and Matte Jones O'Neal.
There are many fine things that
can be said about Bob O'Neal and
his good wife Mary. When the 2e-
preston struck the agriculture of
Hyde County where they had long
enjoyed thriving business, and
their losses were heavy, they never
whimpered or asked for aid. They
came to Manteo and buckled down
to- the hard work of running a
dairy farm for someone else. Mrs.
O'Neal with others got established
in the operation of a tea room
down town, and as the first tour
lists began to move in, her venture
met with fine success. The bust
ness grew until the press Of so
much hard work forced her to give
it up. Later, with his brother-in-
law, the late Roscoe Burrus, Mr..
O'Neal established the towns first
super-market which is the remark
ably successful grocery business
now operated by Archie Burrus.
Mr.. and Mrs. O'Neal have con-
tinued to operate their tourist
home in Manteo, "the Wigwam, /"
through the years. 1t has had great
success, and is popular with all
tourist, year after year, old guests
return.
1t was a great tribute to good
man when so many of his old
neighbors came to pay the last re-
spects Sunday. 1t was great trib-
ute that the church was packed in
the community which became his
adopted home. Bob O'Neal was a
good man, fine citizen, a splendid
neighbor. He was all these and the
better able to be these because with
the aid of good wife who COM
plemented his life, he was happy
and loved his fellowman. Thew
were the perfect working pair.
They spared no time nor energy
in discharging their obligations
and in carrying their full respon-
sibilities together in this life. They
made better by their presence and
their efforts. each community in

RECKLESS DRIVING CHARGE

AS a result of passing one car
while meeting another, Donald Eu-
gene Bruce, 49,, while driving a
1851 Kaiser 4-door car, going
south, is charged with careless and
reckless driving, for appearance in
Recorders Court April 2, in Man
teo. The car belonged to Granvil
Edsel Howard of the radar station
at Mays Head. He is charged with
driving at 30 to 60 miles per hour.

If this were all the expense, then
there would be a profit of $4,000
if current is sold at present high
rates, and $4,000 if sold at the rates
now promised under other opera
ton.
We began to check on these esti-
mates, and we find one glaring
omission. Nothing has been put in
for the labor involved in servicing
this operation. If one man is used,
as has been suggested, he would
cost not less than $4,000 a year.

doing business with the State Sow
ereignty Commission, had by the
same token indicted, and held up
as examples the lost self respect
every Negro school teacher, col
lege president, principal, county
and home demonstration agent, and
every other Negro employed and
paid by the state of Mississippi,
or any of its subdivisions, each
of which is as much opposed to
Indignation as is the State Sow
ereignty Commission.
Editor Greene added that by
moving in on the Ministers organ
ization of which he is secretary
Evers admits the truth of what
Roy Wilkins, National Executive
Secretary, said here almost two
years ago now, "the NAACP is
mud in Mississippi" by which Ev-
ers knows Wilkins meant that the
NAACP had lost its usefulness in
bringing about any changes for
the better for Negroes in the state.
Editor Greene said further that
Eyers' best attempt to- see the
newly created Ministers organiza-
ton as a Front" has already de-
stroyed any usefulness that: the
organization might have had be-
fore it got started.
In his reply to the attack made

Thursday, Editor Green said:

by the Ministers organization in
its meeting in Hattiesburg last
Thursday, Editor Green said:
"The resolution adopted by the
group of Negro ministers meeting
in Hattiesburg Thursday attack
ing Rev. H. H. Hume, Ozelle Ma
son, and myself is just another sad
and tragic example of Negro
preachers deserving their ancient
and holy commission to Preach
Christ and Him Crucified,' to seek
the public spotlight, and the ap-
plause of the less informed Negro
masses thereby abusing the trust
and confidence iIposed -by their
ancient and holy calling, to enter
the field of political leadership
which Christ himself so carefully
avoided, and in so doing spreading
dissension, division, hatred, sus',
picion, and i'll will, instead of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ, and the
Holy Writ.
"In their having deserted the
ancient and holy commission as
preachers, TO Preach Christ and
Him Crucified,' they are only sue
ceeding in widening the gap be-
tween responsible Negro and white
people, increasing their hatred and
i'll will, and adding to the frustra-
ton and bewilderment of the Ne
gro masses.
GAS to the great zeal of certain
Negro preachers, since the Supreme
Court decision in 1854 to form new
organizations and collect money
for the purpose of abolishing seq
regation on the buses, in the
schools, and everywhere, we ask
the thinking Negro in Mississippi,
as well as in the rest of the South
to ask themselves why certain Ne
gro preachers are so anxious to
form new organizations and collect
money to abolish segregation ev-
erywhere else but in their demon

A Question on Suffrage

Yet sharp words poured in So
norous, short bursts from the
smaller, more voluble younger man.
The whites, he said, hold the
wealth and power in Southern
Rhodesia and they are determined
to keep control out of African
hands.
Why can his father not vote, he
asked, when the old man is wise
in the ways of politics even though
he cannot read or write?
The son expressed the belief
that the Europeans would never
grant universal suffrage.
We must take strong measures, ("
he said, but did not elaborate.
The urbane. taller man spoke
more calmly and smiled often.
Africans in Southern Rhodesia
are not anti-white, he said, nor
would they deny anyone equal OPP
pOrtun1Cy.
He thought white politicians
could be convinced to further At
rican interests, perhaps by politi-
cal pressure. Beyond that, he
limited, there is always the pos
sibility of passive resistance and
boycotts.
Then the tall one laughed and
the short one giggled as they told
how an official, fearing trouble
had pleaded with them to call off
what had been planned as a peace
full demonstration. They had COM
piled.
The older men did not laugh.
1t was a conversation similar to
talk heard in Nairobi, Kenya; Oar
es-Salaam, Tanganyika, or Johan-
nesburg and Captown, South AT
RIGA. Sometimes the words were
more violent, sometimes milder
Usually it was the younger men
who did the talking.

The Rev. c. K. Storey, president
elect of the Methodist Church in
South Africa, said:
1.-The churches of South Africa
have tried anxiously to avoid a
head-on clash with the State but
the series of aparthied laws has
made the present clash inevitable. "
The Baptist Union has adopted a
resolution deploring social and
economic injustice and the break
ing of solemn pledges given to non
whites.
The Congregational Union of
South Africa has recorded its "sin-
cere conviction that the Govern

volved in the dispute, which threat
ents to blow up in nationwide
controversy.
Anglican Bishops have taken
their stand with the following dec
laration:
I'VE believe it's morally wrong
to follow policy which, has as its
object the keeping of any particu-
lar racial group in a permanent
position of inferiority and we be-
lieve that racial Discrimination
practiced in this country is directed
to this end"

They were the Negroes who are
