OAK GROVE PLANTATION
is DIVERSIFIED
FARMING EXAMPLE

Oak Grove Plantation is
400 acres of land located on
Honey Island, outside the
shoe formed by Horseshoe
Lake. It is a storied land,
once roamed by the ChoctaW
Indians. when the land was
a hiding place for wild game,
the lake a fishing paradise,
and five miles to the West
was the Yazoo River, a main
artery of communication,
linking Choctaws with dis
tant tribes and places. The
plantation is part of the land
granted to the United States
by the Choctaws under the
Treaty of Dancing Rabbit
Creek in September, 1880.
For 1913 years now, under
successive ownerships, it has
reflected the changes in Sou
thern agriculture, through the
days of the ante-bellum
South, the cotton era, to the
present mechanical, diversi-
fled farming operation of a

scientific farmer. The turn
ing point on Oak Grove came
in 1882, when Crawford Lo-
gan ST., began to reduce cot
ton acreage, to mechanic and
diversity. Fifteen years be-
fore, his father, the late J..
w. Logan, planted 900 acre
of cultivatable land in cotton.
Sixty tenant families and 70
miles were used in cultivation
The boil Weevil came IN the
2O's, panic, four cent cotton,
then the death of Mr.. Logan.
In 1923 his son, Crawford
took over and set his sights
on a diversified operation
with machinery. A visit to
Oak Grove Plantation today
shows the results. Instead OF
900 acres planted in cotton,
there are 800 cotton, 22O IN
oats, 20 in corn, and $40 ac-
res of beans. Instead OF 6O
tenant families, there are now

rigs and two self propelled

It is entirely conceivable that
Beckwith will never be brought to
trial, or if brought to trial he may be
found mot guilty"
If this view is shocking to readers
who believe in the basic democratic
foundation of our American system,
equal justice for all under the law,
we must remember other murders in
Mississippi that have gone unpublished
in only recent years the Emmett
Till case in Tallahatchie County, and
another murder in the same county
shortly thereafter /. the Staying of
the Rev. George Lee in Belzoni
the killings at Brookhaven on the
courthouse lawn with many witnesses
around, but not n to testify.
1t would be we'll today for the
white people Of Mississippi to remem-
Der these murders and examine our
society that not only permitted, but
demanded they go unpublished. We may
rest assured the Negro community
throughout the state has not forgotten
them.
A crisis Of great dimension por-
tends in the Beckwith case, the out
come of which will vitality affect flu
ture race relations in Mississippi, and
only to a somewhat less extent, the
entire nation.
The Reporter prays Mississippi
is equal to the task - and justice will
prevail.

BeckwitheC Case
q s..s,-
Mississippi Justice Is On Trial

As Byron de la Beckwith, out
spoken and vrabid supporter of the
white Citizens Council, goes on trial
in Kinds County Circuit Court for the
ambush murder of Medgar Evers, state
NAACP field secretary, the eyes of
the world win again be riveted on the
type ofajustice to be obtained in Mis-
sissippi courts. .@'E' t@' -
Throughout this nation and all
around the world people of all nations
will be watching to see what one r.
man trial jury of Mississippi citizens
will do, citizens who will be acting for
all Mississippians. In this sense the
state of Mississippi and our entire
social order are now on trial.
District Attorney Bill Waller has
announced he will. ask the death penal
ty for Beckwith, if he is indicted by
the Kinds County Grand Jury, regard
ed now as almost a certainty. The
arrest of the white Delta citizen would
never have been made had not over
whelming evidence been obtained a
gainst him by investigating authori-
ties.
However, there are already re-
ports that Beckwith will be committed
to the state insane HOSPITAL at Whit
field for Several months examina-
tion," if he should be indicted for the
crime. Results of the examination pre-
sumably would determine whether or
or not he is sane and should stand
trial.

It is increasingly clear that the
American people are entering a new
phase of the relations between Negroes
and whites. The timetable is quicken
ing. New techniques Of protest are de-
veloping. Court actions and law en-
forcement are more taut on both sides.
But more than these, the desire for
change is increasingly becoming a de-
mand for change and leadership is
passing from few to many and is
taking on the character of mass pro-
test.
1t Is useful to stand aside for a
moment to observe the trend as fact
uallv as possible. in order to seek a
guide for conflicting policies and emo
tons.
The American scene II now be-
coming consciously a part of the world
racial program. Progress largely In the
form of evolution within the United
States has been confronted with the
roIlback of colonial control by white
countries over countries of other races
at something like revolutionary speed.
The plight of the American Negro who
has usually preferred orderly protest is
svmbolized by what happened when
African students came to American
Negro colleges and communities and
said. 1--WE have won our freedom. What
are you DOING about yours?"

stand what is happening in u world
today, then our efforts have not been
in vain.
God knows understanding is need
ed, as never before, and it is a basic
requirement before we can ever face,
much less solve the problems which
must be solved if the races are to con-
tinue living together in peace and har-
mony here in Mississippi.
1t would help a great deal if read
ers could make up their minds that
editors are not disciples of the devil,
but Woodworking, concerned men and
women who hold the welfare of this
state and its people uppermost in mind
and heart at all times.
So try to have a little understand
ing, dear reader. In all fairness, do
not take your Illustration over the
situation out on your poor editor who
can do little about it. He is serving
your best interest when he publishes
all of the information he can obtain
for your own edification.
What kind of situation would you
be in if your editor and newspaper did
not give you all of the news and in
formation, good and bad?
All editors have opinions of their
own. Most of us express them one way
or another. We also frequently express
the opinions of others, sometimes to
bolster our own, some time to mere
1y present another viewpoint which
may or may not agree with our own.
Most of us like to challenge the think
ing processes of our readers. This is
in the best traditions of a free press
and a free people.
Free, honest and open discussion
is the bulwark of a people who want
to remain free. Only ideas and prin-
ciples which can stand up under such
intensive examination deserve to sur
vive. This is something we should give
serious thought to in these days when
there are pressure groups which seek
to literally destroy all those who do not
agree with them.
The man or group which seeks to
destroy my freedom today. or that of
a free press, tomorrow may seek to
rob you of yours.
In this wear of 1868 we need a
new affirmation of faith in freedom
and independence for all Americans
a document that would today in fact
be as revolutionary as our original
Declaration of Independence in 1776.
We need further to lose our fears
of our fellowman and put our faith and
trust in God.
The Lexington advertiser. [volume] (Lexington, Miss.) 1904-1985, 1963-06-27

At the same time there is a shift
in what might be called the negotiating
terms. American Negroes are drawing
on t%echniques of protest that have been
effective abroad and are adapting
them to American circumstances and
contributing their own ingenuity and
character. The force of Ghandian phi
losophy and tactics, the power OF
economic action, mass movements, all
begin to apply on communities which
discover that they cannot absorb more
than a certain amount of popular pres
sure when peoples become aroused
II il n of the finest characteris-
tics of the American scene that when
civil disagreement reaches q certain
spread and intensity, the good ems
of people on all sides goes to work
urgently to adjust il. This Il happen
ing now under conditions that try the
character of men on both sides of this
epic problem.
The purpose of this analy-
sis is to encourage that good
sense for the struggle that is gather
ing ahead. A relapse into naked power
struggle, into chain reactions OF
hatred, would be disastrous. Every
ounce of cohesion in American society,
every individual or Joint decision FOR
tolerance and affection, win be needed
for the emergence of America into the
sunshine on the other side.

NldIly# ~ Willie 4llSSlooipPloIbo Va
Christian character and good will, per-
SOM who pride themselves as honest
and fair-minded in all things -
especially in their relations with their
fellow human beings, are genuinely
concerned and fearful of the turn taken
in race relations between whites and
Negroes in Mississippi today.
Long accustomed to thinking in
terms of ''our good Negroes are salts
fled and the remainder don't matter"
it is extremely difficult for many
people to adjust themselves to the
idea Of not being in complete control,
as additionally. The fact of change
that is sweeping over not only Missis-
sippi and the South, but the entire
nation, is hard to grasp or understand,
Especially among u political leaders,
who always seem to lag behind the
people.
In a way we are at war with
freedom for all as the price of peace.
AS Editor Curtis Mullen said in
the Madison County Herald: "We may
be a~pprehensive, and we may be re-
s%entful, yet we cannot ignore what is
happening before our eyes the
changes are coming so quickly and in
such wide variance that it is almost
impossible to keep up with them. What
NAV have been the basis for evaluation
of the scene six months ago no longer
exists. Even yesterdays realities will
undergo stress and strain before to-
morrow takes over. What may be the
situation six months from now is any,
body's guess"
Editor Mullen is one of the editors
of a state NEWSPAPER that attempts
to effect some kind of understanding
their readers as to the realities
in this day and age. including the con-
troversial racial situation.
Some editors and newspapers, who
seek resnonsiblv to do their jobs. have
been called integrationist, scalawag,
niger lovers. pinkos. communist, and
a wide variety of less printable epi-
thets. We have been called some of
them ourselves. But saying it doesn't
make it so.
Most of us, including this editor,
will continue to write and print what
we believe will add to the general
knowledge and understanding of u
readers, thereby serving the general
welfare of our communities and state.
IF what we print. either in the way
of news or editorial comment. helps
