‘Power’ Said
Self Defeating
ATLANTA (DPI) — A Negro
sociology professor says the
Black Power movement is self
defeating because it is merely
a Negro version of White
supremist groups like the Ku
Klux Klan which are "contrary
to the basic notions of
Democracy.”
Tilman Cothran, a professor
at Atlanta University, warned
that America is "close to racial
war” now that Black Power ad
vocates have accepted "what
White segregationists have been
perpetuating for a long time.”
He said the danger is in
creased because most White
Americans do not recognize the
recent "tremendous change in
'Negroes and their unwilling
ness to accept segregation."

Two Farms Produce Over
Half Os Spalding's Cotton
More than half of the cotton
produced In Spalding County
in 1967 was produced on two
farms in the Rehoboth Commu
nity east of Orchard Hill.
Cotton seeded on the Alton Al
exander and Phil Ogletree, Sr.
and Phil Ogletree, Jr., farms
amounted to 213.5 acres. More
than half of the 409.9 acres pro
ducing cotton in Spalding this
year.
The Ogletrees operate their
farm as a father-son partner
ship.
The Spalding County Agricul
tural Stabilization and Conser
vation Service reported a low
of 477.3 acres planted in the spr
ing. Os the acreage planted, 67.4
acres failed, leaving 409.9 pro
ducing acres.
Alexander is harvesting about
500 pounds of lint cotton per
acre this year. In 1966, he pro
duced 610 pounds per acre.
He said the shortage is due to
the late planting season and the
early freeze this fall. He said the
freeze cut his production one
fourth bale per acre.
Alexander said farmers can
make a profit from cotton over
a period of several years pro
vided they use the most modern
cultural practices and plant a
sizable acreage.
Alexander and the Ogletrees
are planning to plant larger ac
reages in 1968. They are plan-
Anti-War, Draft
Marches Fizzle
By United Press International
The planned week of antiwar,
antidraft demonstrations ran
into an unyielding wall of police
and no nonsense university offi
cials Wednesday. A massive
New York City effort fizzled.
An estimated 2,000 protesters
tried to shut down the Armed
Forces Induction Center in
New York but were thwarted by
4,000 police. There was little
violence. Police made 39
arrests.
Across the nation, at induc
tion centers and on college and
university campuses, demon
strators spent the third day of
“stop the draft week” picketing
and being heckled and chastized
by increasingly more vocal
antidemonstrators.
More than 200 students
marched in front of the home of
University of lowa President
Howard R. Bowen. The head of
the 8,659-pupil Big Ten school
surprised the anti-war demon
strators by inviting them in for
coffee and fruitcake.
Bowen and his wife shook
hands with the students as they
entered and asked each his or

foot of a staircase to four
rooms packed with students,
Bowen said “When our students
do not obey the laws, then it is
necessary to enforce them,” a
reference to police action
against demonstrators Tuesday.
Philadelphia police seized 74
of about 500 demonstrators who
jammed Broad Street outside a
selective service and military
recruiting center Wednesday.
Counter pickets, many of them
members of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars, met the antiwar
demonstrators at Philadelphia.
Three Dow Chemical Co.

flee the recruiting center at

group of 350 student demonstra

The president of California
State College, John A. Greenlee,
said, “All identified students
(involved in the demonstration)
will be immediately subject to
campus discipline. Warrants for
arrest will be issued.”
