Dear Editor:
Tonight my heart is heavy
laden. It is heavy laden for
a grea< people here in our
Southland, the Mississippians.
1 am a relatively young man
but inside me and inside of many
young Southerners today are
traditions and principles that
we hold close to our hearts
with the ultimate of serious
ness. These traditions have
been instilled in us since the
early days of boyhood. These
feelings inside of us cannot be
described, touched, or singled
out. These feelings are just
there and they will never be
removed regardless of how long
we live. Hundreds of ordres
can come from the courts but
still our feelings will remain
as they are. The judges
can knock out our state laws and
constitutions, federalize our
state militia, and even threaten
to put our state officials be
hind bars. They can
tell what to say, where to
go, what prayers to use in our
classrooms, who to associate
with, and force us to do many
things we detest. But there’s
one thing theycannotdo.They
cannot tell us how to think. •
God gave us minds of our own.
He gave us consciences to live
with and to guide us. And we
can formulate our own ideas
and feelings toward things and
we have the abilitytodetermine
what we think is right.
In Mississippi this morning-
two people are dead and seventy
five are wounded. This is, in
deed, a tragic thing. Is it
right for Mr. James Me
redith to cause all this? Is
it worth it? The University of
Georgia is intergrated. Why
couldn’t Mr. Meredith attend
school here. The officials here,
much to my sorrow, gladly
accept all qualified Negroes.
I his campus has some eleven
now. But Mr. Meredith couldn’t
come to Georgia, Florida, North
Carolina or any other integrat
ed schools in the South. He
was determined to cause strife,
sorrow, bloodshed, and
the greatest of all, death.
This is not to mention the
taxpayers cost of the troops
and supplies being sent there.
Is Mr. Meredith sencere about
getting an education? Agroup
of his own race in Virginia
have offered to pay his way
to another school. Why didn’t
he take that offer? These are
questions that are not supposed
to be asked or answered.
Tonight I sit here along be
side my radio listening to re
ports of this troubled state.
And as I sit here I have com
passion for the students of the
University of Mississippi. 1 was
here in Athens when they in-
te grated the University
of Georgia. 1 voiced my feel
ings, and they kicked me out
of school. I have been in the
same shoes that these students
are wearing now. I know what
it is to have something crammed
down your throat — to express
it in rather blunt terms. I know
what it is to want to do some
thing to stop this dreadful thing.
Tonight three thousand students
stood up for something that they
know to be right, their beliefs.
Why? Because they were taught
to do so. They have heard
their fathers, grand-fathers,
and possibly their great-grand
fathers voice their strong opin
ions on segregation. They’ve
heard their mothers, aunts, un
cles. They've heard state po
litical leaders — from the
governor down to the local peace
officers. And they have heard
about their forefathers in the
historic period one hundred
years ago—when arms were
taken and lives were given in
the fight for principles and
rights. Could all these people
be wrong? Could all the
mothers, fathers , grand
parents of these southern
students be wrong? Could
they have been teaching us
wrong all this time? 1 say—
definitely notl Times change-
but principles don’t.
The students there know that
they are right in standing up
for what they believe in. And
Mr. Meredith should have reali
zed the nature of this before he
invaded the University of
Mississippi and caused this
death and bloodshed. Instead,
Mr. Meredith doesn't seem to
care. Mr. Meredith merely
commented, "This is a sad
day for everyone." This could
be possibly the understatement
of 19621
And my sympathy is extended
to the tall, elderly, gray-haired
stalwart Governor of the State
of Mississippi, Mr. Ross Bar
nett. He loves his state, He
loves his people. He loves
the traditions of his people
He has fought a hard fight
for what he believes. In the eyes
of the nation he has lost. But
in the eyes of Mississippians
he has not. He did voice his
opinion. He promised his people
his word. The people of Mis
sissippi will remember it too.
So many politicains today are
without courage. This is a
pathetic situation when a man
will not stand up for what he
knows to be right and knows
that he has made promises to
his people to do so. Certain
ly Mr. Barnett will never be
forgotten by his people as a man
who wasn’t afraid to stand up
for principles and Mississippi
during difficult and trying times
regardless of his personal
costs.
I ask not for violence, blood,
or death as Mr. James Meredith
indirectly asked. I simply ask
that the young citizens of our
great Southland stand firm in
our beliefs for conservative
government and not let these
communistic forces nowevident
change our way of thinking.
Some of us are married. Some
have children and others will
before long. We must bring our
children up in a way that they
will not shame us. It is up to the
parents now to teach their child
ren the right approach to this
serious question.
We, in Taylor County, should
be thankful of the colored people
that reside in our county. 1 feel
that these people want to go
forward on an equal but separate
basis. These are our friends.

Robert McDougald was our
friend. I talked with him at
length before he died about this
grave question. He convinced
me that he was not for this
dreadful thing that is being
forced upon us. He was a good
man. I always respected his
opinion. He was reasonable
enough to realize that in order
to provide a harmonious atmos
phere and move forward, a sep
aration of the races had to be
maintained. The Negro citizens
miss him. The White citizens
miss him. 1 feel sure that all
the colored citizens of Taylor
County will follow his example
in making our community and
county a peaceful place to live.
1 his is not the first time
that Southerners have fought
a somewhat losing battle. Per
haps we know we’re going to
lose all along. But we, as South
erners, have pride—rare pride,
that will cause us to fight for
our rights and firm beliefs of
constitutional government
hoping that by some chance we
might possible win one fight.
And when the fight is over—
we have lost—as usual. Maybe
it is the pride that we have
afterward that compensates the
losing itself. This happens
many times’ in otir United States
Senate, in national conventions,
and other functionson a national
level. The South always loses.
But we lose with pride—and we
never regret a munite of it.
And tonight - - some 4,000
troops have invaded the State
of Mississippi with more on the
way. The flag of this great
state will be flown at half mast
tomorrow. And we are worried
and troubled once more over
this trampling of our rights. At
the same time, we must not let
our feelings change. Soldiers,
marshals, tear gas, bayonets,
blood, and even death—but we
still think the way we do.
They'll never force us how
to think- - or what to think.
May Cod have mercy on their
souls for trying.
Respectfully yours,
'Tom Cochran II

If all roads were superhighways,
Chevrolet’s remarkably smooth and

luxury. But as .most town and
country roads will demonstrate, this
is one Chevrolet advantage that’s
mighty easy to get excited about.
(The way those four deep-coil
springs put the kibosh on bumps,
you’d almost think Chevrolet was
working for the highway com
mission.) The ’63 Bel Airs, Biscaynes
