I f The Taylor County (Ga.) News, Friday, October 12, 1962 ft* Legal Notice The Taylor County News Butler, Georgia 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.

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.
