In Defense Of Freedom

THE State of Georgia has appropriated
n $4,000 to the defense of the IS citizens
Of Tennessee who were summarily arrested
on order of Fedora Court Judge Taylor at
Clinton, Tennessee We are advised that
many private, voluntary contributions have
been made also toward the defense of these
people. Why?
The rights and freedom of every Ameri-
can has been threatened. The right of
trial by jury, the creeping trend toward
government by Federal injunction are two
very good reasons why every citizen Of
whatever geographical area are concerned.
The nature of the defendants is secondary.
They were free Americans before being ar
rested, handcuffed and hustled off to Fed
eral prison. Their offense? They raised
their voice against racial integration of
Clinton schools. They picketed the school.
Some one or two of them fought Baptist
minister, after he had accompanied several
Negro children to the school.

Double Check

Cumberland County, THE Gar
den spot of the World, at least
one of EN-, becomes the guinea
pig of the Eisenhower Admins

find out something bad. Course,
I know that we have had q streak
of bad luck that has just never
ended Every time we ever tried
to get any industry into the coun-
ty we got skinned for everything
we had The bit of one drill struck
oil and nobody believed it, had it
have happened in any other
County in the u S. A. there
wouldn't have been standing
room, but here it was a secret
folks were afraid to tell it.
We got just lot of hidden as
sets here in Cumberland. At one
lime Cumberland made more sas-
safras oil than all the rest com
bined modern chemistry took
It away. About sixty per cent of
our people make their living
somewhere else, outside of the
rounty, and a good part Of the
>ther forty pr cent awishin' they
we're dead You can't hope for
much better.

The history of this type Of legislation is
familiar and fairly consistent. Conceived
by fanatics and claiming moral or relig-
ious basis it is promoted by an organiza-
ton which appeals to reformers and So
called ''do-gooders" and spreads until it
becomes a dangerous pressure group. Then
il adopts the usual pressure tactics =
threats, persuasion, demagogic speeches,
numerous articles in newspapers and ma
gaines and constant agitation for so-caled
rights at the expense of other citizens.
And when the promoting organization
has induced or coerced sufficient number
OF legislators to pass such restrictive laws,
what happens? A long period of legalstic
confusion follows, then period Of revolt
and ridicule, and eventually the law is COM
pletely disregarded and becomes the cheap
Joke of clowns. Vanity of vanities, saith
the preacher all is vanity. And the vainest
of modern vanities is the crack-brained idea
that you can build up one race by tearing
down another.
That is what happened to the witch laws
and other blue laws of New England. to
the hate-encrusted and war-embittered laws
OF the Civil War and Reconstruction per-
iods, and to the prohibition laws of our
more recent ecclesiastical era Vast changes
in human living and human customs are
not achieved by laws. Laws do not change
peoples ideas nor blot out their tastes and
preferences. The current civil rights" bill
will doubtless go down in history as an
Other masterpiece of American judicial and
legislative folly

SPORTS
AFIELD
BY Ted Resting

About four years ago an article
by Henry P Davis, sporting dog
editor of Sports Afield magazine.
discussed the decline of the Irish
setter as a gun and field-trial dog
In that article he advanced the be-
lief that the main trouble with the
Irish setter lies with the breed fan
cierS. In their enthusiasm for the
beauty Of the breed. they paid more
attention to color and conformation
than the field qualities, such as
hunting enthusiasm, intensity and
style
That article caught the imagina-
ton of w E LeGrande, sportsman
industriahst of Douglassville, Pa.
He sought the advice of Davis and
the noted veterinarian-gene DR.,
Leon F. Whitney. After considerable
correspondence LeGrande fashioned
la setter-breeding program
The first and most important
problem was choosing the proper
breeding stock LeGrande is a stick
Ter for performance, with the rare
ability to analyze the work Of his
own dogs with a critical eye He
wanted working dogs. dogs that had
proved their worth afield as good
gun dogs, and dogs who would point
with acceptable style and intensity.
After many disappointments he was
offered a little Irish setter bitch
that points with a high tail" He
bought her sight unseen and hit the
Jackpot
The bitch was Askew's Carolina
Lady, at that time enjoying only
local reputation as pretty good

phshments in field-trial events. not
only against other members Of her
breed but in direct competition with
pointers, English settlers and other
pointing breeds. she is known as the
First Lady of the irish Settlers.
Her main value lies in the fact that
she is highly prepotent brood
bitch, stamping her progeny with
the sparkling style that has made
her famous.
Quickly recognizing that Lady was
the type of dog for which he was
searching. LeGrande set out to To-
cate as much of her blood as posi-

a friendly, liesurely tempo.
We had the pleasure of visiting this home
when DR.. Rutledge first began its restora-
ton and again this spring. Remarkable
progress has been made. A drive through
the tall Southern pines for two miles or
more brings one to Hampton. The road
still unpaved rambes through the wooded
area to the circle of possibly half of
mile circumference. One enters through
hedge of holly trees and leaves through
hedge Of dogwood trees To the side of the
house is the 80 acre garden Of camellia,
azalea, and other native shrubs, protected
by towering pines The visitor ambles
through this garden on pine-tag walkwavs
and enjoys the native beauty of all that
the Creator has made, the flowers, the
trees, the river-ways, the birds, and wild
life.
1t was rare treat to meet Dr. Rutledge
and members Of his family; to hear the
past history Of Hampton; to see the
many items Of interest created in another
day. Around DR.. Rutledge and his "home
by the river revolves what remains of the
liesurely living so enjoyed in another era
when people lived for the JOY of living and
loved for the JOY of loving, close to the
hand Of the Almighty Creator who created
them.
1t is an inspiration to visit Hampton,
open to the public the year round, and
equally interesting to read the book. Home

The Clinton citizens were not before the
Federal Court, they were exercising their
rights as citizens, the same rights that are
often used by labor unions. The fight with
the minister did not occur on the picket
line but several blocks away Who began
the fight is vet to be determined. They We're
subject in this case to local laws for as
sault not Federal Laws for contempt.
The strange part about this entire mat
ter is that the case against these people has
been postponed indefinitely. They are still
under bond, and dare not raise their voices
or express their opinions. These people
have right to trial, a jury trial. with
reasonable dispatch.
The Clinton story is not one of an isolat-
ed community nor of Is American citizens,
its outcome affects every citizen of the
United States, not alone for day, but for
ever. That is why the State of Georgia ap-
propriated $4,000 to the defense of the cit

The Wrongs of Civil Rights

4 5 this is being written, the most drastic
and cynical so-caIed civil rights" bill
in the history OF this country is being de-
bated in Congress- This measure, promul-
gated by the National Association for the
Advancement Of Coored People and back
ed BY the Eisenhower administration as the
price Of Negro support in several key
Northern state, GU d set up a new
bureau in the Department of Justice to
prosecute civil rights cases and special
police force to enforce civil rights" legis-
lation.
If these ridiculous proposals should be-
come law, they would permit the federal
government to send it's newly created ges-
tapo into every community in the land and
every place of business to see if the Negros
rights. are being fully protected, and if
not to haul the offending white persons
off to a federal jail. Like the prohibition
agents Of unhalloWed memory, these fed
eral shoppers would have broad powers of
search and Seizure and the rights of white
people would become a mere Joke
The broad qualifications of such legisla-
ton and the fact that its purpose would be
to destroy the basic rights of white people
who constitute an overwhelming majority
of the nations population, should be so
obvious to even the most muddle-headed
congressman that he would instinctiyelv
shrink from having any part in it. Its dis
astrouS effects upon race relations and all
other phases Of our life-Social. political
economic, religious and politico-religious
are appalling to contemplate.

The Need for Forgiveness
In southern town there lives
man who was in penitentiary
in another state. for 10 years. for
a crime he did not commit. He
was stranger and he had a gun:
so when the local hoodlums all
came up with alibis. this man was
convenient mark. and to the
penitentiary he went And there
he stayed even after the real
criminal confessed Authorities
kept him there, because if the
facts became known, and the man
released, some important reputa-
tons and careers would be ruined
Finally, through the efforts of
sister and a friend, he was re
leased, 10 years not guilty, but
punished all the same. even years
after his innocence was estab-
ished Would you be in a forgiv-
ing mood after that? Not many
people have tremendous, long-last-
ing injustices done to them Of
that sort; yet the story illustrates
one point about forgiveness: it is
not always a matter of forgiving
persons directly. One may suffer
severely, unjustly, without its
being possible to identify the per-
sons VINO are responsible for
things we suffer {such as unfair
laws. or customs which harm
US in some way; but although
we cannot forgive the responsible
persons-who may be many face
to face. it is just as un-Chris-

heart against fate" in general
as it is to feel bitterly about some

God Has More 10 Put Up With

When Peter asked his question
about forgiveness. he was think
ing, it seems, of a kind Of rule.
Forgive man once. twice
to seven times; but the eighth
time is one too much? Jesus re-
ply, if a brother repents 70
times seven times. we are to for
give him just as many times.--is
not a matter Of strict arithmetic
1t is not intended as rule It is
Jesus way of saying: Forgiveness
must be without limit. The rea-
son Jesus suggests. in his parable.
goes to the heart Of things. God
has far more to forgive than we
have. Even an apostle, Jesus
suggests. has sinned against God
more than any man has ever
sinned against him. What we have
TO put up with from others, every
day, are trifles compared with
what God has to put up with from
us. If the reader thinks this is
an ggeration, let him consider
one point; the way we Christians
misrepresent God His reputation
in this world is maintained or
blackened by those who profess
to be his people. We claim to be
his children, and yet we often
act as if we had been sired by the
devil. Few if any human beings
have been SO persistently SLAM
dered as God is by his professed
friends

Forgiving From the Heart

Forgiveness has been called a
fiction, and in a way il is. It is
not the same az ignoring or con-
doning, but it treats the offend
er exactly as if no offense had
been committed. That may be
fiction; but there is no true for
giveness without forgetting Gods
forgiveness is complete: he casts
forgiven sins behind his back 80
ne remembers them no more
Human forgiveness like all things
human is never complete, for in
spite of our best efforts the thing
will keep coming back to mind.
Nevertheless, true Christian for
giveness makes every effort to
forget Forgiving without forget
ting leaves things much as they
were. Only in complete forgive
ness can there be complete new
start, Erasing the whole thing
from mind, living as if it never
had happened; this may be a fic-
ton but it is fiction Of love
