Letters
Santa Monica, Calf.
October 10, 1857

Dear P. D.
First, let me point out that
your campaign to eliminate Miss
issippi from competition with her
Southern sisters for 48th place
in the Union is decidedly prema-
ture. To begin with, Arkansas
has obviously issued an undis-
guised challenge to match her
for feet-dragging, challenge no
true son of the Magnolia can
lightly ignore.
Furthermore, and I'm sure this
Isl only an oversight on your
part, chances are that before an
other decade passes Hawaii or
Alaska or both will become States
and surely you don't seriously
consider abandoning the oppor
tunity to distinguish Mississippi
as 10th or even Ito glorious to
contemplate 50th! Besides you
can look at everything vice versa:
FIRST in low pay for teachers;
MOST retarded in indignation -
etc.
Second, if you insist on elevat-
ing Mississippi to 47th, how about
using your position to press for
Legislation requiring all residents
of that territory to wear full
length white cotton sheets when
ever exposed to public view?
This statute would serve the
following main purposes:
/. The Mississippi cotton in
dustry would be bolstered there
by improving the State economy
as whole
2. The whiteness Of the sheets
would reflect more effectively
the summer heat, keeping the
hotheads cool,
3. Membership in the Khan
would fall off, the sheets no
longer being any distinction,
4. The integration problem
would evaporate since there
would be no visible difference
between races, thereby allowing
5. The diversion of more dyn-
amite to roadbuilding, public and
private construction, and the
general welfare.
Az an alternative similar hem
efits could be derived although
all Mississippi inhabitants to
more slowly from laws requiring
traverse the public domain stark
naked. The deep tan ultimately
sported by the white citizens
would erase the principal racial
distinction and everyone would
be healthier besides.
Truly Yours,
E. w. Greenstadt

When I growing up in the woods here in Mis-
sssppi my parents sent to church every Sunday At
those sessions heard real Devilfrghtening pray
ers. Often left the church house convinced that the
Devil no closer than the next county, But never did
hear prayer compare with those which spoken
in Little Rock last Friday night by the Baptist preachers
who called God to get rid of the nine Negro kids in
Central High Faubus having failed, suppose was nat
ural to mention the matter to God
Anyway, am Of the opinion that God must have
fun than anybody Indeed He must be splitting His
Sides Too He must have especially soft spot in His
heart for Baptist preachers like those in Little Rock OF
which there seems to be than there are Christians
I'm just sorry to have missed prayer meeting in Little
Rock last week

Anchorage, have now started work cn the design.
 Poland reported to council mem bers on his meeting with the An chorag.es firm and told them that there was now $50, ,0OO in the Inner Facilities fund.
 He outlined a plan to at first build a short dock out to deep water and then temporarily carry out the dock with 200 foot long floats until more money is avail able to construct the whole dock permanently. The floats could be used later as arms sitting at right angles to the main dock. The full length of the dock would ultimate 1y be 800 feet, said Poland.
 The question of retaining wall and the diversion of fresh water stream now emptying into the har- bor area were discussed.
 It was decided to hold construc- ton of the wall and tho diversion of the stream until they could "see how things go."

WE WONDER WHAT WILL HAPPEN
TO THE TOLL BRIDGE IDEA?

The thought has occurred that the scheme to pass
law to make of the people of North Carolina pay
tolls on roads and bridges while others do not have to
such tolls, should be stlborn, and believe there is
possibility that competent legal authority would rule this
effort unconstitutional
We do wish the Attorney General of North Carolina
would render opinion it. We getting old
member everything readily but it to that the
people of North Carolina of late date have been having
hold elections and give approval before bonds be sold
whereby the peoples credit is pledged
If a few people in North Carolina can go ahead and
get the Legislature to authorize road and bridge bonds why
it that both Governors Scott and Umstead deemed it
necessary to ask the Legislature to authorize elections for
large bond issues during their respective administrations?
We do not profess to know much of these
folks who to the Legislature, and do know have
lot less than of these folks claim who hatch
schemes that of legislators fall for And in this
instance yours truly fool enough to believe that this toll
bridge scheme wouldn't hold up under court at
tack
There might be sort of toll bridge scheme which
would bear the test of the courts but they have
completely audcated to the complete satisfaction of those
who might buy bonds lend the money otherwise make
the investments requisite to actual construction
If ton-roads and bridges back to North Carolina
the east may not be long before folks the Legis
ature begin that the folks the west are i'm
posed in similar Retaliation, right wrong is
an inherent characteristic in human nature.

STAYS IMPRESSED ALWAYS
BY COASTLAND WONDERS

To The Editor:
When I read your column re-
Gently in Coastland Newspapers,
which l always enjoy, 1.-THE ones you
write) it expressed my feelings
exactly. 1 was born on the Hyde
County mainland at Middletown,
moved on the north side of Mat
tamuskeet Lake when / was three
years old, which is six miles below
the village of Fairfield. l lived
there for sixteen years, when l
was married and came to Ocracoke
to live. Not boasting at all but I've
travelled in nearly every state in
the union, I've visited many inter-
esting cities and made many dear
friends but my mind every year is
mainland bound and l long for my
childhood friends.
Pm just back from a visit over
there; l visited with relatives and
friends at Swan Quarter, Fairfield
and down in the community where
1 spent my childhood days. l also
had the pleasure of attending Sun
day school in Fairfield Methodist
church which was both enjoyable
and sad. Just a few left of the
ones who attended when my broth
ers and l attended. AS l looked
around and could count rapidly
fifty or more gone that used to
carry on when l attended, my heart
swelled bigger and bigger and to
be more sentimental they chose
hymn, "The Little Church in the
Wildwood" and as the words rang
out show dear to my childhood
memories, l felt like weeping
aloud.
This trip, (Which may sound
foolish to many meant more to
me than the one to Boston or New
York. When 1 read your piece l
said "those are my very thoughts
