NEGROES were AMONG THE
EARLY SETTLERS OF THE
STATE OF MISSISSIPPI

that he could not accompany
them. He complained that the
location of the capital was too
low and sickly, and closed by
q hope that some mines of prec-
ious metals would be discovered.
This vain hope Of the governor
had exerted a hurtful influence
on the colonists; for, instead of
providing food for themselves
by cultivating the soil, they re-
lied upon the French colony of
San Domingo for supplies until
their numbers were greatly de-
creased by famine and disease.
Negroes brought to the Ter
ritory at this time served as
indentured servants. After serv-
ing their masters a few years
they were freed, as in the case
of the first twenty slaves
brought to jamestown in 1919.
At very early date records
show that there were some more
than three hundred and fifty
five free people of color in the
Territory of Mississippi. These
persons, however, were not
welcomed, as the matters be-
lieved that they would cause
dissatisfaction among the slaves.
In spite of this attitude, howev-
er, free Negroes prospered & ac-
quired land. One factor with
regard to the Negroes which is
frequently overlooked, while
their function in America was
that of plantation workers, in
their own country of origin,
they may have belonged to one
of many social strata. The slave
raiding parties made no distinc-
tion between farm hand and ar
tisans, laborers and leaders.
1t is know that among the
Negroes of Africa, particularly
West Africa, from which most
of the slaves came, there were
accomplished M hematicians
and Metal-workers.
In the Territorial days the
duties of the slaves were to help
cut trees to build the crude cab
ins and homes for their masters
family. Most or all of the work
centered around the home. Out
side trade had not developed to
the extent that very many
slaves were needed. Food and
clothes for immediate consump-
ton were the chief items of pro-
duction.
Jackson advocate., 1963-11-09

Negroes are mentioned among
the very earliest settlers Of the
State Of Mississippi.
Stories have been told of Ne
groes living with the Indians in
the territory of Mississippi long
before DeSoto lead the first
white mans expedition into the
new world in 15S9-4O. Stories
Of a Negro who was ruler of
an Indian tribe are believed to
have some basis. Many Negroes
today are able to trace their
ancestry to the various Indian
Tribes Of the Territory of Mis-
sissippi. Some are acknowledg-
edged heirs by the state and
are waiting their share of the
money which is to be paid them
for land purchased from their
Indian ancestors.
History records as fact that
Negroes were a part Of DeSoto's
expedition in 1539-4O and that
the second settler in Alabama,
then part of the Territory
of Mississippi, was said to have
been a Negro member of the
DeSoto expedition. He liked the
country and settled among the
Indians.
In February, 1899, Iberville
OF France led an expedition into
Mississippi and made a very
definite attempt to colonize the
Territory. He established a fort
at the present site of Biloxi,
then departed, leaving Sauvole
in command and Bienville, his
young brother, as Kings lieu
tenant.
After Iberville planted the
first settlement at Biloxi, he
made several trips to France
in its interest. When he re-
turned to the colony he always
never failed to bring supplies
found a hearty welcome, for he
and reinforcements. He insist
ed that the mother country give
some assistance, declaring that
the weakness Of French colonies
lay in sending out the poor and
giving them no start.
The care OF this little colony
weighed too heavily upon its
first commandant to permit him
to engage in the numerous ex-
plOring expeditions with Iber-
vile and Bienville. While they
were on the Mississippi he
wrote, expressing his regrets

Congress. The Republican mo-
ton would also delegate COM

Would Boost Revenue
Mr.. Kennedy said tax cuts
would increase family incomes
and business profits, thus boost
ing Federal tax revenues even
with lower rates. Meanwhile, he
said, the administration will
keep IAN ever tighter rein on
Federal expenditures"
Recurrent budget deficits, he
said, have been caused largely
by high tax rates, which retard
the economy and so hold tax
revenues down.

Text Of Kennedy Tolk. PasO A
asked the Nation to support
his $11 billion tax-cut bill to
stimulate the economy, create
jobs, prevent a recession and
increase profits.
Republican Chairman Will
liam E. Miller Immediately
asked the networks for equal
time on the air to answer the
Presidents speech.
If the time is granted, the
likely @. o. P. spokesman will
be Representative Byrnes OF
Wisconsin, chairman Of the
House Republican Policy Com
mittee and top-ranking Repub-
lican strategist on taxes.
Fights Restrictions
Mr.. Kennedy emphatically
opposed restrictive amendments
to the tax bill, such as Mr.
Byrnes' plan to cancel the rate
reductions If spending esti-
mates exceed specified levels.
The President also insisted
that Congress must complete
action on tax cuts this year
in time for the reductions to
take effect next January l. He
appealed for speed against the
background of a tight time
table in the Senate.
Nowhere in the speech did
the President mention the tax
boosting reforms" In the leg
islation. The reforms are more
controversial than the rate
cuts, even though the Ways and
Means Committee rejected
many of the Presidents orig
lnal reform proposals.
House debate on the tax
bill is scheduled for next Tues
day and Wednesday. The leg
islation was cleared yesterday
by the House Rules Committee.
Wants Action Now
Mr.. Kennedy, in a Commute
speech from his office, said
the tax reduction and reform
bill must not be diluted by
amendments or conditions
(and) must not be put off until
next year" He continued:
This Nation needs a tax
cut now-not a tax cut if and
'when'-but a tax cut now and
for the future"
Mr.. Byrnes yesterday un-
yelled his formula for spending
control, which he plans to pro-
pose as an amendment to the
Evening star., 1963-09-19

tax bill through a recommittal
motion next Wednesday.
Under this formula, the tax
cuts scheduled for January /,
1864, and January /, 1865,
would be cancelled II the Presi-
dents budget estimates Federal
spending above $97 billion for
fiscal 1854 or above S98 billion
for fiscal 1865.
Federal spending now is esti-
mated at about $98 billion for
fiscal 1864, the year ending
next June 80, and the admin
istration expects an increase of
SO billion to $4 billion for fiscal
1865.
The tax cuts would take ef-
feet If the President held his
estimates next December or
January down to $97 billion
and $98 billion, Mr.. Byrnes
said, even if the forecasts
proved to be faulty and spend
ing actually exceeded those
levels.
Democratic strategists said
they are confident Of defeating
the ByrneS plan on a close vote,
but Mr.. Byrnes maintained he
has a good chance. A caucus Of
House Republicans yesterday
Endorsed his amendment.
While opposing such manda-
tory formulas, the President
last night promised to do his
best to hold spending down.
mo wasteful, inefficient or
unnecessary Government ac-
tivity will be tolerated" he said,
adding: I'VE are pledged to a
course of true fiscal response
bility, leading to a balanced
budget in a balanced full-em-
ployment economy"
Backs Mills Stand
He indorsed declarations by
Chairman Mills Of the House
Ways and Means Committee
that the Government must rely
on tax cuts rather than In
creased Federal spending to
stimulate the economy.
Mr.. Mills, an Arkansas Demo-
crat, told the Rules Committee
he is confident the administra-
ton and Congress will hold
spending down If taxes are
cut. He opposed mandatory
spending restrictions in the tax
bill.
But Mr.. Byrnes said such ex-
pressionS of hope are uncon-
vincing in the face Of admin
istration plans to increase
spending. 1t would be fiscal
insanity" he said. to cut taxes
and increase spending when
the Federal budget already has
a large deficit.

balance our budget"

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept.
ia white boycott If inte-
grated schools in Birmingham
is falling off in the wake Of
Sundays bombing which took
the lives of four Negro girls.
Attendance at the three
schools where five Negro stu
dents entered last week has
been climbing since white stu
dents and adult segregationists
halted their protest demonstra-
tions. The demonstrations were
called off at the request of
city officials who feared they
might incite further violence.
School officials said yester-
day that attendance at the
schools is returning to near
normal. They said more than
go per cent were in class yes

At West End High, the CEN

attendance was listed at 1908
Of a student body of 1872.
When the school was inte-
grated last week only a hand
full of white students attended,
while most of the others par
ticipated in noisy demonstra-
tions.
A group of parents said, how
ever, they are going ahead with
plans to establish a private
high school.
A recently organized COM
munity affairs committee,
headed by a minister, issued a
statement yesterday pleading
with parents to "insist that
their children attend their

The committee also asked
"all good law-abiding citizens"
to speak out against the vio-

Representative Andrews,
Democrat Of Alabama, urged
the President and the Attor-
ney General yesterday to stop
a proposed march on Mont
gomery, Ala.
Plans for the march were
approved by 1900 Negroes in
Birmingham earlier this week
as a protest against racial vio-

telegram to President Ken

Robert F. Kennedy after re-
ceiving a wire from William
F. Thetford, Montgomery So
licitor; Sheriff M. s. Butler Of
Montgomery County, and w,
Tom Jones, chairman Of the
board Of revenue.
Telegram Made Public
In his telegram, which Mr..
Andrews made public, he said:
There is no racial problem
in MONTGOMERY now. I strongly
urge you to use your office to
thwart Martin Luther King
and his associates from hav-
ing this demonstration.
mo good can come Of 1t, but
much harm could. Let me urge
you to give this your imme-
diate attention"
Mr.. Andrews also enclosed
the telegram he received from
the three Montgomery officials
which said in part:
". If it (the march) takes
place 1t can serve no useful
purpose, but is calculated to
create strife and turmoil and
will endanger lives and prop
erty in this community. :"
Fund Cutoff Suggested
Another Alabama Congress-
man described as irresponsible
q Negro leaders suggestion that
no more Federal money go to
Alabama.
The suggestion to cut off
Federal funds to Alabama was
made by Roy wilkins, executive
secretary of the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement Of
Colored People, who said the
President should begin by
closing down Maxwell Air Force
Base at Montgomery.
In reply, Representative Hud-
dleston Of Birmingham issued
a statement, saying:
"The irresponsible suggestion
of wilkins serves only to fur
ther aggravate an already
highly explosive situation. Re-
sponsible leaders Of the Negro
and white races should recog-
nize that this is no time to be
further inflaming our people

AS the last three bombing
victims were buried yesterday.
a reward fund for the arrest
and conviction of the bombers
passed $4,000. The city coun-
Gil, which started the fund, had
set a goal of $4,000. 1t is
expected the fund will reach
100000 within a few days.
Federal, city and county po-
lice are pressing their hunt for
the bombers. County Sheriff
Mel Bailey said law enforce
ment officers are infiltrating
organizations which have been
active on both sides of the civil
rights movement in an attempt
to gain information that might
lead to the bombers.
