CHAPTER TWELVE
The Monster Of the Deep

The sunken ship. tilted on
It's side. lay on the ocean floor,
half covered by q hundred
years Of drifting sands. Three
broken masts rose from the
deck like blue phantoms in q
silent blue world.
Michael scraped at the barn
acles and sea moss encrusted
on the bow. Slowly the letters
ARADOON appeared.
With o quick thrust Of his
flippers he shot up to the
surface and swan back to the
cliff. He had gone q long way
under water and It was some
time before he was close enough
to shout, "It's the ship! I've
found her!" He waved his arms
and thrashed the waves to
attract attention. But there
was no sign Of Costenbricker
high on the cliff. Michael
grasped the rope that dangled
in the water and tied it around
his waist.
Pull me up" he shouted.
But there was no answer from
above. He yanked impatiently
at the rope. Suddenly 1t
tightened and slowly pulled
him out Of the water and UP the
side Of the cliff. When he
reached the top he grasped the
edge and pulled himself over.
TITS the ARADOON!" he
cried, pushing back his face
mask and untieing the rope
from his waist. "Her names
still on the bow-plain as can
be and she's big-big as thisl"
He dropped the rope and
turned to show with his hands
how big the ship was. Instantly
the words fed from his head
and his mouth fell open in
surprise for, sitting before him
on an old sea chest, was not
CoStenbricker. but q red
whiskered man with q 8.
fingered hand.

won by a fraction of a per cent
of the popular vote. But actually
he wins with q minority of the
popular vote. That is because the
votes for Southern free electors
were counted for him without
right.
Editor Mills. of the Birming-
ham Post-Herald, seems right to
me when he thinks Alabama S six
free electors should honor their
pledge to the people of Alabama
and refuse to vote for Mr.. Ken
needy in the electoral college. 1t
is a matter Of integrity, as he
sees it, and also of not seeming
to "grOvel at the feet of the
national party bosses" who will
repay with deeper contempt
and further insult" In great adj
dition. l think, it is a matter of
standing in living proof that Mr..
Kennedy did not win in the South.
For battles to come it is impor-
tant to know that States Rights
Democrats and Republicans ~ in
other words, the Coalition - are
in majority and propose to con
tinue. In one manner or another
seven Southern states were anti
Kennedy last Tuesday-Virginia
Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Alabama, Georgia and Missis-
sippi.
EVEN AS THE GRAVITY
FOUNDATION continues to Wres-
tie with the problem. Shreve-
ports William E. Nesom would
have me note that Southerners
can drop up with perfect ease,
no matter what my New York
1 prother-in-law says when prom
ised a visit on his 26th-floor office
by my South Carolina brother-in-
law. Mr.. Nesom cites Webster
that the verb drop" in its in
| transitive form means, among
other things, to come uneXpect-
edly or casually usually in
or into. - From this he con-
cludes that lit would be syntacti-
cally permissible for your South
Carolina brother-in-laW to drop
up to see your New York broth
er-in-law on his 26th-floor, and
the law of gravity be damned

Ohio Reader Finds
Virginia's Vote
A real Puzzler

Editor The Farmville Herald
Well, it's time to renew my

working man could vote for any
one else. There are so many I'M

Double Check

There seemd to be going on
in state and Nation a very gen.
eral shake down of some most
important departments in the flu
ture of our good government agen-
cieS. We may be coming to a
sort of awakening of our selves,
a reconstruction period. We Just
got to do something to keep our
democratic form of government
afloat and it is appearing in all
directions may 1t be good.
There never is a time when we
can rest on our oars. There is
always work to be done.
There are some Would-be Gov
errors who seem to be aware of
that. Already the slate is filling
up. That's one office you don't
need a plank to run on. you can
run bare footed in the sand. Vir-
GINA having gone COP three
times in a row should be good
fodder for a Republican this time.
Mr.. Shelton tells me that there
are more Of his faith than ever
before, so trot the candidates
out at least they got a
Byrdie to start the hatch. What
stand the editors will take on this
remains to be seen but the point
is 4. it is coming home to you.
This we just got to live with
SO long as we are happy that
way who cares.
Now for happy hunting sea-
son. as you read this you no
doubt are preparing your big
hunt.
Thanks for reading.
Yours.

With Faith, Keep Reaching

Keep reaching for the stars above,
Keep reaching for the things you love;
For they are there beyond the blue
And in q way belong to you;
But you must seek them, you alone
Must brave the heights to claim your own.
Keep wishing for the things you want
And hoping for the things thot haunt
Your waking thoughts from day to doy;
Have foth and you will find way
BY work and foith sincere and true,
The gifts Of life will come to you.
Keep ever looking Up and up,
With foth drink from ife's trimming cup
The wine Of foith and hope and song,
For these we know will make you strong
10 brave great odds against you thrown
And give you strength to walk alone
Keep watching for the light thot gIows,
For you and only your heart knows
The dreams you cherish deep inside
For the unknown and the untried:
For seeking hearts may break unless
They can find peace and happiness.
Keep watching for the highest stor,
Not satisfied with things that are,
And faith in you will play part

For steodfost faith and work You do
Will help to make your dreams come true

The Congo News

trying to foresee the future in the Congo
and predict what the boys over there
are going to do adds up to so much
wasted effort. All the analysis in the
world from the do-gooders will not
give the slightest clue as to whom will
be arrested next, ousted next, sieze con-
troll next or even be given the knife next.
That is because no one knows. The
happy brothers who are running things
in the Congo move from day to day
and most of them know very little
about the democratic world and what
democracy is all about Give them credit
for doing their best and that is still I'M

Franco-Prussian war of 1870, which the
Germans won, the First World War,
which they lost. and in the 1910 cam

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER IS. 1860
At The Same Old Stand

VICE president-elect Lyndon Johnson
may be at the same old stand when
Congress convenes in January. He will
remain senator until inaugurated
January 20, 1861 and as such the
maj GRITTY leader. That he will try to set
the stage for the liberal platform of
the Democratic administration is indi-
Gated in the interview published Nov
ember l. in the New York Times with
Peter Braestrup, the Times political
writer. We quote
He is also sure that some of the Southern

their strength in the long war in
Algeria. The British have less than
four divisions in Germany. The Unit
ed States maintains less than six. SO it
is the Germany Army today which forms
the bulwark Of our front against the
communists from the East.
Is there a chance that the Germans
may someday turn against us and deal
with the Russians? Are we taking a
great risk in rearnling Germany? I'm
doubtedly there is some risk involved.
But since the only formidable power in
Europe is West Germany. obviously we
must ally ourselves with this power -
which is democratic as opposed to COM
munlst.
Will the German democracy last, or
will another dictator size control? 1t
appears that the West German democ-
racy is solidly entrenched. But then
there is always chance that anything
could happen. And it is a significant
turn in the history of Europe and the
United States.

who plan to take to the fields and woods
in search of game:

If Rep. Dawson is the best qualified
Democrat in the United States for the
position of Postmaster General then he
should have it. If Rep. Dawson's activi-
ty among the Negro voters of Chicago,
which went Democratic, is the only
qualification then some other Democrat
should be appointed. From what we
have learned Of Rep. Dawson from the
Negro press, which is quite biased pro-
Negro, it would appear to us that he
is not the best qualified member of the
Democratic party for the position.
