KLANSMAN DON ROMINE (R) SEEKS PA SYSTEM
} Mark Watts (L), Mike Henegar Back Romine
Klan To Return May 13
from front page
of the board and the council.
Mayor Cash read minutes
of the Oct. 11, 1960 council
meeting in which meetings
were set at 7:30 p.m. each se
cond Monday otp the month.
The resolution referred to the
city's charter which said the
council must meet once per
month. The panel can change
its meeting date by giving two
weeks notice, Cash noted.
The mayor then asked the
council to take Strange's re
quest under consideration, to
contact the Chattooga Board
of Education and to seek the
wishes of City of Summerville
residents on the issue.
“I make a motion we deny
the request,” responded Coun
cilman Guinn Hankins.
Strange demanded to know
why Hankins had made his mo
tion. The councilman said he
didn’t have a reason.
LIKE HAYES?
“Just like Donnie Hayes,
you ain’'t got no reason,’”’
Strange replied. *“What we got,
Donnie Hayes and the school
hoard?"” He was referring to a
meeting last week i which
Havyes, county school
superintendent, refused to list
his reasons for not recommen
ding the rehiring of Jack
Catrett as principal of Chat
tooga High Schoof)for 1989-90.
Councilman Phil Cavin of
fered a second to Hankins' mo
tion and it passed unanimous
ly without discussion.
“] have acomment — ‘pro
gressive Summerville,” "’
Strange said.
Hankins pointed out that
Strange isn't a resident of the
cty.
Strange responded that
Summerville is “the county
seat’’ and that the city’s
utilities go throughout the
county.
KLAN
Don Romine, Rossville, who
said he was grand dragon of
the North Georgia Knights of
the Ku Klux Klan, told the
council that the Klan plans to
hold another rally in Summer
ville at 3 p.m. Saturday, May
13, and then travel to Lyerly
for .a ecross lighting that
evening.
The Klan wants a permit
for a public address system, he
said, and is Erepared to go to
court to obtain a permit.
Romine, who was accompanied
by two Klansmen who iden
tified themselves as Mark
Watts and Mike Henegar of
LaFayette, said the Klan
wants the PA system for one
hour. It would reduce the back
and-forth shouting that occur
red at a similar rally in Sum
merville last year, he contend
ed. The council refused to issue

ATTY. NORMAN FLETCHER (STANDING) OUTLINES ACTION NEEDED BY IDA
From Left: Eleam, Mrs. Amos, Jackson, Money, Turner, Hurley
a permit for use of a public ad
dress system at that rally.
The Klan successfully went
to court to force Lawrenceville
to allow it to use a PA system,
Romine told the Council.
SHOUTING
“Let us come in and go
about our business,” asked
Henegar. Interruptions at the
rally last year delayed the pro
gram, he indicated.
Members of the Klan, in
cluding women and children,
became involved in shouting
matches with irate blacks at
the Summerville rally and later
at a rally near Lyerly.
“We're gonna come and
we're gonna use a PA system,”’
Romine told Mayor Cash. He
also promised to bring a con
tingent of *‘skinheads’ to Sum
merville in May.
Cash asked that the city be
given time to review the
Lawrenceville court decision
cited by Romine, promising
that the Klan woul(fbe given
an answer at the city panel’'s
April 10 meeting.
“We'll be back April 10,”
Romine said. If city hall “is
surrounded by blacks, we'll
leave,” he first said but added,
“When we come back, we won't
come back by ourselves.”
Romine said the Klan plans
to make the Summerville rally
an annual affair.
After the three Klansmen
left, the council got down to
more routine matters.
JAIL CONTRACT
After discussing several
problem areas it wanted
cleared up first, the council
authorized Mayor Cash to sign
a contract between the city,
county and Sheriff Gary
McConnell to house city
prisoners at the county jail.
It also agreed to extend a
gas line along Big Texas Valley
Road in Floyg County to
several potential building sites
at an estimated materia?s cost
of slightly more than $5,000.
The council also authorized the
city gas department to install
a gas line along Back Berryton
Road if at least 10 potential
customers out of 14 sign up for
the service. The materials cost
will be slightly more than
$3,800, according to David
Love, city gas department
superintendent.
The city also voted to allow
Ed Hammit, Back Berryton
Road, to install his own water
line and two water meters, and
connect to the city's water
lines.
SIDEWALK
After debating the issue for
several months, the council
also authorized city work crews
to remove part of the sidewalk

Couple Files
Lawsuit In
Federal Court
A Tennessee couple, which
had filed a lawsuit in Chat
tooga County Superior Court
against a reputed Summerville
man, has filed a nearly iden
tifical suit in U.S. gistrict
Court at Rome against the
same individual.
It was filed by Gordon and
Joan Moore, Hamilton County,
Tenn., against Ross White.
Both the federal and
sui))erior court suits involve a
Feb. 4, 1987 traffic accident in
Dalton in which the Moores
say that Mrs. Moore was in
jured. They claimed that
Ross's vehicle ran a red traffic
light.
In his federal court
response, White denies that he
is a resident of Summerville or
that his vehicle ran a red traf
fic signal. His insurance com
pany in federal court said it
would represent White to a cer
tain limit in the case.
