Thanks Voters
TO the voters of
BRANTLEY COUNTY;
Please accept this as my hum
ble and sincere appreciation for
your vote and support in the
; primary held April 18.
As you know there were six
candidates for the office of she
riff, four of them being eliminat
ed, leaving me as high man and
Mr. Crews as runner-up. The
run-over election will be held
May 2, as set by the committee.
I am still asking for your vote
and influence, especially those of
you who supported me in the
first race and those of you who
supported the losing candidates.
Also I will be very gratified if
the ones who voted for Mr. Crews
see fit to vote for me this time.
During the first race there
were rumors spread concerning
my health, not being allowed to j
carry a gun, not being under I
surety bond and many other in- i
significant rumors.
So far as I know my health is
good, for which I am very thank
ful.
As to carrying a gun, I am glad
we live among good people who
db not require their officers go
ing about equipped with six
shooters hanging from their sides.
However, in case we have some
roughneck foreigner pass through
the county who might need more
than hands to conquer, I do car
ry my gun in the car where it
is available at all times.
Now as to the bond, you can
find a surety bond for $5,000 on
file in the office of the Ordinary
of Brantley County. This bond
was issued by H. H. Burnet &
Company of Waycross, a reput
able bonding company, as requir
ed by law. e
I will deeply appreciate your
support and influence in the
coming run-off election.
Yours sincerely,
T. E. RAULERSON.

Board
Childs
The Pierce County Board of Education has failed to
reelect Coach Wallace (Country) Childs to his Blackshear
High School coaching position for the 1956-57 term.
Action on Coach Childs was
taken at a special call meeting
of the Board held Saturday morn
ing. The basketball coach was
the second member of the Black
shear High School faculty not to
be reelected, the Board having
voted at its March meeting to
replace Principal Albert P. Ross.
At Saturday’s meeting, Coach
Childs failed to be reelected when
County School Superintendent T.
H. Strickland did not recommend
him and a required three-fourths
majority of the Board did not
vote for a motion to reelect.
The matter of Childs’ reelec
tion was held as the final order
of business after other teachers
and a principal for Blackshear
High School and for two colored
schools had been named.
After the superintendent said
that he did not recommend
Coach Childs, a motion was
made by Board Member O. R.
Peacock that the coach be reelect
ed. The motion was seconded by
J. Elmer Dixon.
Chairman E. P. Smiley called
for a vote and Peacock and
Dixon voted “aye” while Board
Members Rufus Smith and Fos
ter O’Quinn voted “no.” Chair
man Smiley voted for the mo
tion and declared the vote three
to two.
The motion failed, however,
under a recently passed Georgia
law that failure to recommend by
a school superintendent can be
overridden only by a three
fourths majority of the board of
education.
Coach Childs came to Black
shear in 1951 and under his tu
torship local basketball teams
have gone to the finals of state
tournaments three times, winning
one state championship.
He began his record in Irwin
ville where his teams won 145
games in 155 starts and at one
time Childs coached his team to
76 consecutive victories. His 10-
year record in high school bas
ketball includes 296 victories and
only 27 losses, an all-time re
cord for a coach in Georgia.
In five years at Blackshear, his
teams have amassed a total of 151
victories with 17 defeats.
Coach Childs has stated that
his plans for next year are de
finite, but has not yet announced
the name of his new school.

■**•**•«■ the “Declara
tion of Constitutional Principles”
signed by nearly 100 members
of Congress from the Southern
states.
Explaining that he had en
joyed friendly relations in the
Senate with Senator Lehman,
although they had differed on
economic and social problems,
Robertson said it was without
rancor or bitterness that he pro
posed to point out "how incon
sistent it is for a distinguished
member of this body to make a
strong and determined fight on
one phase of States’ rights and
attempt to deny a similar priv
ilege to others who invoke the
same doctrine but on a different
issue.”
The declaration signed by
Southern members of Congress,
Robertson said, condemned the
Supreme Court decision as un
warranted under the division of
powers provided by the Consti
tution and unwise not only be
cause of the effect it would have
on public schools but also be
cause of the damage it would do
to our constitutional form of
government The declaration ad- !
vocated only "lawful” means to '
bring about a reversal of the
Court’s decision. Robertson re- '
called that after the Eighteenth
(prohibition) Amendment and 1
the enforcement act adopted by 1
Congress had been approved by 1
the Supreme Court in a test <
case, Senator Lehman’s state !
had refused to cooperate in en- '
forcement of the law. He quoted 1
the U. S. District Attorney for •
the Southern District of New 1
York as saying repeal of the 1
New York enforcement act was 1
the hardest blow the enforce
ment of the Eighteenth Amend- ]
ment had received.”
What New York Did
Robertson also quoted state
ments of New York officials as
to the thousands of speakeasies i
which operated in that state
during the prohibition period
and recalled that former Mayor
LaGuardia of New York City f
had said it would take 250 000 f
policemen and an additional
force of 200,000 “to police the
the police to enforce prohibi- t
tion in New York. j
Recalling that Senator Leh- t
man had been Lieutenant Gov- t
ernor of New York during this t
was Governor when
the Eighteenth Amendment was t
repealed, Robertson quoted e
Lehman as saying that repeal v
marked “the end, so far asthis s
state is concerned, of a fifteen- o
year long struggle carried on by >
thousands of devoted and patri- s
otic men and women against h
sumptuary legislation which at u
no tune represented the uncon- a
trolled sentiment of a majority s
of the people of this country*
He said former Governor Alfred h
E. Smith of New York had ad- a
mitted, however, that those who c
fought against prohibition had c
been called nullificationists and tl
enemies of the Constitution.
Robertson asked if Lehman o
would not recognize “that the n

Compared to Prohibition
Senator Robertson says it is now the South’* turn to
appeal to public opinion.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The present reaction of Southerners to
the Supreme Court decision of 1954 prohibiting racially segre
gated schools has been compared by Senator A. Willis Robertson
of Virginia to the reaction of Northern states to the prohibition
amendment between 1919 when it was ratified and 1933 when it
■ was repealed?

DAIRY PRODUCTS FIGURES
While Georgia’s dairy cow po
pulation gets smaller, the quan
tity and quality of milk is in

States to operate mixed schools
instead of requiring separate but
equal schools for the races is in
our eyes ‘sumptuary’.”
The Virginia Senator said
that in 1859 the State of Wis
consin had opposed a Supreme
Court decision requiring return
of fugitive slaves and the legis
lature of that state had passed
a resolution denouncing the
Court and saying that its order
was “without authority, void
and of no force.”
Lincoln Quoted
Robertson said it was with
reference to this Wisconsin ac
tion that Abraham Lincoln in
1861 had said: “If the policy of
the government upon vital ques
tions affecting the whole people
is to be irrevocably fixed by a
decision of the Supreme Court
the instant they are made, in or
dinary litigation between parties
m personal actions, the people
will have ceased to be their own
rulers, having to that extent
practically resigned the govern
ment into the hands of that emi
nent tribunal.”
The Senator also quoted Elihu
Root as saying at Hie New York
convention to ratify repeal of
the prohibition amendment that
the American people had
learned two vital lessons. “One
is that our Constitutional gov
ernment zests upon two bases,
national strength and local self
government, and that both are
essential to the continuance of
our free democracy. . . , The
other lesson is of higher and
broader importance, that human
progress, that advance along the
road of civilization from brutish
animalism to the conceptions of
justice and charity . .. has been
made not by compulsion, but
by the development of higher
standards of conduct and nobler
emotions among the people; a
lesson that advance in all that is
noble and good comes not from
without, but from within.”
Robertson said Franklin D.
Roosevelt in a presidential cam
saign speech said prohibition
had failed because “we have de
pended too largely upon the
?ower of governmental action
instead of recognizing that the
authority of the home and that
of the churches in these matters
is a fundamental force on which
we must build. . , . The experi
ence of nearly one hundred and
ifty years under the Constitution
has shown us that the proper
means of regulation is through
with control by the
f ederal Government limited to
tnat which is necessary to pro
tect the States in the exercise of
their legitimate powers.”
“The principles declared in
those utterances,” Senator Rob
ertson said, "are the same ones
which are advocated by the
Miners of the 1956 Declaration
of Constitutional Principles.

hailed the repeal of prohibition
