Mississippi's loss is Flori-
da's gain.
Dean Robert J.. Farley, who
retires September / as head
of the Ole Miss Law School,
will join the faculty of the
University of Florida.
The 64-year-old Farley,
who will reach the mandatory
retirement age of IS in De-
cember, could have remained
a while longer at Oxford -
and should have. Had the
board granted an extension,
as it normally does to top
officials. he would have re-
manned.
Certainly Dean Farley
should have been persuaded
to stay at least through next
year until the man chosen as
his successor gets out of
school. Joshua Morse III of
Poplarville has been named
to the post and he is COM
pleting work at Yale Univer-
sity.)
But DR.. Farley himself told
his friends on the board not
to make a fight for an extern
sion. Il don't think there is
anything to be gained by it
for the University" he said.
The welfare of Ole Miss was
always his first concern, not
himself.
81 am not bitter toward
anyone. l appreciate the SYM
pathetic understanding of the
bar of the state and the facul-
ty," Dean Farley told the
Mississippi Bar convention in
Jackson last week at a lunch
con honoring him.
Dean Farley felt the venom
of 'the White Muslin branch
of the Citizens Council, as.
he called them in his remarks
before the law school alumni
group. But he remained at
Ole Miss in spite of this hate
group.
His crime?
Dean Farlry taught that
the decisions Of the u. S. SUI.
preme Court are binding as
the law. of the land.
Because Dean Farley recog-
nized what Mississippi faced
and conscientiously taught
what the law is, he was cru
Gifted by the racists in the
Citizens Council, including
some from our own county.
Now when Dean Farley is
gone do you suppose the Ole
Miss Law School will begin
to teach the Supreme Court

Following is a copy of a registered letter mailed June "a to
Mr.. James Il. Sleeves, editor and publisher of The Meridian
Star. which is self-explanatory:
Mr.. James B. Sleeves, Editor and Publisher
THE MERIDIAN STAR, Meridian, Mississippi
Dear Jimmy:
L was shocked and appalled, to zee a false and lbelous circular which
Council around Lexington and other towns in Holmes County. l am en-
closing a photcopy of this circular which gives the appearance of being
taken from your newspaper, The Meridian Star. In addition to local
distribution of this circular, it has been mailed by the national head
quarters office of the state Citizens Council at lis Howard Street,
Greenwood, Mississippi, to an undetermined number of persons through
out the state. You yourself have received a copy of it mailed from the
Citizens Council office.
The obvious purpose of this actionable circular is a continued effort
by the Citizens Council and certain supporters of the organization in
Lexington (who also just happen to be supporters of the Holmes County
Herald in lexington to destroy nj and my business.
This attempted smear Of me, containing wholly false and malicious
implications, is a vicious conspiracy of Paul Tardy, editor of the Holmes
County Herald, and certain members of the Citizens Council.
While l understand you ae a state official of the Citizens. Council
jimmy, | believe you are too fair-minded to permit anyone to be injured
unfairly by your newspaper O. a member of your staff. s
And Smitty, my husband, and 1 have both been injured by this cir
cular, the full extent of which remains to be determined. area
People who saw the picture on the circular thought it had been print
ed in the Meridian Star. Both the picture and the outlines under it gave
q competey raise and misleading impression. You know, and l know, the
picture did NOT appear in the Star, but that tit was taken by one of your
staff members and later sold by Frank Long, your then state editor, to
Paul Iardy, editor of the Holmes County Herald for $500, and paid for
by q check which was cashed in your office. The outlines under the pic
lure presumably were added by Tardy or some of his associates and1cr
conspirators:
All Of the items printed ont this vicious circular were taken complete
~ ~ OF context from four separate issues of the Meridian Star and
shrewdly combined to give a totally false and erroneous impression Of me,
q clever Ratchet job
The only item on the circular which mentioned my name was not
only taken out Of context from the story appearing in thu, Star, but CON-
tanned errors such as the one about our being .ushered' to seats which
you personally know to be untrue, since you we're present at the mass
meeting and know that smitty stood up for the entire meeting the same
as you did, alongside the same wall, in fact. sA sf
The entire circular is a great dissersice to the Meridian Star. -

porters, and many others
were also-present. Mrs. Smith
was the only news person to
be singled out for a picture.)
Desperate Attempt
Mrs. Smith, who has serv-
ed the people of Holmes
County for 26 years through
her two newspapers, The
Lexington Advertiser and The
Durant News, said the Citi-
zens' Council-distributed cir
cular represents "a desperate
attempt by Tardy and his
associates to deceive the
people of Holmes County and
Mississippi.
"They want to ALLEVIATE my
friends and supporters
throughout the state and de-
stroy me and my news
papers, she said, thereby
hoping to gain enough sup
port for their own tagging
Holmes County Herald to
survive"
The Herald was founded
four and one-half years ago
by a stock company organized
by Citizens Council leaders
in Lexington. 1t has had
three editors to date with
1'ardy taking over last De-
cember.
Opposes &C
Mrs. Smith has opposed the
Citizens Councils since their
organization in July Of 1854
as a threat to the personal
freedom of all Mississippians.
She has been outspoken in
her criticism Of the gestapo-
like methods of the Councils
totalitarian in concept and
which rob the people of their
freedom the same as the
Communists.
Ghe has also predicted the
Citizens Council will event
ually wind up on the govern
ment list of subversive orga-
nizations in the United
States.
