Former Federal Judge Soliciting Funds To Aid Negroes.

Ex-Charlestonian Ostracised Socially, Is Living Now In New York City.

Do you know what has become of Judge Waring, the federal judge in South Carolina who decided the Clarendon County case against the white people of South Carolina.

He's the federal judge who was absolutely ostracized in Charleston, South Carolina and living in South Carolina for him became so unbearable until he retired from the federal bench and moved to New York City.

Now, Judge Waties Waring has organized a bigger fraud than the fraudulent decision which he returned in the federal court.

Judge Waties Waring has organized in New York City what he calls the "National Committee for Rural Schools, Inc."

He's got himself a large bunch of directors and some officers and sponsors and he is sending out letters over the country taking up a collection.

In this letter he states that with funds which he has been able to collect Southern Negroes have been able to work their land for the first time since 1954.

In effect, he says that since 1954 Southern Negroes have not been able to work their lands. Now he says he is able to furnish them with seed, fertilizer and garden implements, etc., as well as food, clothing and household drugs which have been denied them by the Southern whites.

No more bare-faced lie was ever printed and based on this kind of a lie, the judge has set himself up a fraudulent scheme to collect money.

He says that with this money he has established a cooperative store in Clarendon County to sell seed, food, clothing and fertilizer to the Negro people there.

He claims in his letter that the white people of South Carolina have denied the Negro people of Clarendon County "the right to purchase" these bare essentials that are necessary to sustain the life of the Negroes.

And again he says that he is going to establish a credit union with this money to lend the Negroes money for the taxes on their lands and homes and those who have lost jobs in the struggle for freedom.

The judge is in the business of selling these things to the Negroes, he claims.

The judge evidently is trying to keep the Negro in the South and keep him out of the North.

That seems to be the substance of his appeal for money.

His appeal seems to be based on the idea that he anticipates that if this race mixing issue gets hot enough and the time comes when the Negroes will have no jobs and no business in the South that his scheme will keep them out of the North.

It is true that Northerners don't like them. They know that we are sending millions of Negroes North every year and if the race mixing issue gets hotter we are going to send many millions more.

Consequently, the judge is getting into a get-rich-quick money-raising scheme to take up a collection to keep the Negro in the South.

The judge knows that the Northern people don't want them and consequently his fraudulent scheme.

A copy of the letter he is writing soliciting funds is as follows:

Dear Friend:

We assume that you are familiar with conditions which are prevailing at present in the deep south. We would therefore like to interest you in our work in behalf of these economically boycotted people.

With funds we have received from interested Americans, it has enabled us to help the beleaguered Southern Negroes work their land for the first time since 1954 as we were able to supply them with seeds, fertilizer, garden implements, etc. It also helped to provide them with food, clothing, and household drugs--bare essentials they are denied the right to purchase by the would-be new southern rulers -the White Citizens Councils.

Although we know of the struggle in the south, it is difficult to conceive that in our free America little children who are outnumbered by hundreds of threatening fists and foul language attempt to go to school under the protection of armed National Guards with bayonets.

We have already acquired land for a co-operative store to provide food, clothing, seeds, fertilizer for 36,000 people in Clarendon County. A credit union will be set up to lend money for taxes on farms and on the homes for those who have lost jobs in the struggle for freedom.

Co-operative store to provide food, clothing, seeds, fertilizer for 36,000 people in Clarendon County. A credit union will be set up to lend money for taxes on farms and on the homes for those who have lost jobs in the struggle for freedom. This may well be a project you and your friends may wish to aid. May we hope for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

JUDGE J. WATIES WARING
