Doug Meador in Th Mat&dor
Tribune; When the complexities
of modern life are weighed and
evaluated to include the rapidly
changing behavior of society, the
question of a criterion is appar-
ent The hallucination may have
developed into reality and that
once measured Ibis reality- may
have become a hallucination.

From the Floydada Hesperian:
JahmesH. )£&rd, ia> a busy
man but he finds time not only
to enjoy life but to serve his fel-
low man in a number of ways.
One thing he enjoys when he
can tear himself away from
every day chores and other ac-
tivities is the gathering of arti-
facts and the catalogueing of
these findings.
His pet place for digging and
searching for this historical lore
is at Floydada Country Club and
from this location alone Word
has an interesting collection of
items that tell of civilizations
reaching back into time more
than 3,000 years ago. Word says
the club grounds around Coch-
ran's Peak have been a favorite
camping spot for inhabitants of
West Texas since the dawn of
time.
Up until about 1945 the stream
in Blanco Canyon was fed by
springs and furnished water for
man and animal. Lowering of the
water table since that time has
dried up the stream except at
flood time following big rains.
Early Civilization
One of his findings is a Clovis
point that is believed to be from
3,000 to 9,000 years old. It is
the work of a people believed to
have lived here many years ago.
At least some of these people
were not the nomads found here
by early settlers but liked the
permanent home.

through the years and there are
even iron arrow heads of about
civil war days and an ocarina
that was made in Vienna, Aus-
tria, In 1918.
This musical instrument bears
a marking that can be identified
with magnifying glass. It was
found along with other Indian
articles and speculation is that
it was left by early Spanish ex-
plorers or brought to the loca-
tion by Indian raiding parties
and lost there probably before
the time of Colonel Mckenzie
and his pussuit of Quanah Park-
er and his roving bands.
Among the beads and orna-
ments found at the club location
are a number mostly from the
later yearsliWnWrwire been i-
dentified as made from sea
shells from the Gulf Coast and
from the Pacific.
'Word did not tell the Hesper-
ian how many finds he had
made at the club grounds but
the number has been great Slm«
the recent leveling of creek
banks there he has added some
150 items to the collection.
The interesting hobby was
brought to the attention of the
reporter when Word called to
have pictures made of the oca-
rina and a fleshing tool and
some awls that he was forward-
ing to University of Texas to be
studied shown and listed there.
Do You Hare Artifacts?
Word is interested in obtain-
ing, tracing and listing any arti
facts that may have been found
at the country club as he would
like to have these catalogued in
the study of this popular spot in
the country's history. If you have
found pottery, arrow heads,
beads, points or any tools of an
earlied civilization then give
him a call some time and pass
along this information.

its peo
pie, there wells a'wlsti withiius
that Miseissippians—before it is
too late—pause and ponder ser-
iously an undeniable truth so
aptly phrased by Judge Learned
Hand:
"That community is already in
the process of dissolution where
each man begins to eye his
neighbor as a possible enemy,
where nonconformity with the
accepted creed, political as well
as religious, is a mark of disaf-
fection; where denunciation,
without specification or backing,
takes the place of evidence;
where orthodoxy chokes freedom
of dissent; where faith in the
eventual supremacy of reason
has become so . timid that we
dare not enter our convictions in
the open lists, to win or lose."
It takes no prophet to foretell
an approaching dissolution of
moral and material Mississippi.
It's close enough on the horizon
for even those blinded by bigo-
try to see its awesome reality.
And it is a dissolution being
brought upon us by the very a-
gency entrusted to prevent it: a
state administration that has i
been brough totally under the
bigotry bralded-whip of Citizen
Council professionals.
We never thought to see the
day when Mississippians — a
breed of people almost to .our-
selves, prizing individual free-
dom of action above all else—
would silently condone through
lack of vigorous protest those ap-
palling practices currently paint-
ing a police-state portrait of our
beloved state. Yet, in the recent
past our people have been in-
sulted with the spectacle of the
state administration actually
paying $3,800 from the people's
taxes to an insidious individual
for the purpose of slandering
with half-truths and innuendoes
two of our own citizens.
Have we so forsaken all basic
human decency and integrity
that our state government can
lower Itself to the level of under-
writing and unleashing upon our
own people the malignant in-
fluence of a purveyor of smear
and suspicion who profits per-
sonally only in accordance with
the number of characters he can
publicly castigate? Apparently
so.
It would seem that the can.
cerous growth of hate-peddling
and Intimidation by smear has
become infectuous. It becomes
obvious that it has spread in all
its ugliness into the character of
the state administration itself.
Such a fact is manifested by the
recent action of the Director of
the State Sovereignty Commis-
sion, apparently at the personal
direction of Governor Ross Bar-
nett.
Like an ofhinous portent of
travesties yet to come, the Com-
mission has employed the "big
smear" against a young Ole Miss
student who is campus candidate
for editor of the University pa-
per. A letter over the signature
of the director has been circulat-
ed on the campus. The student,
young Billy Barton of Pontotoc,
is viciously labeled in the letter
as being "a member of the NAA
CP" and charged with having
been involved personally in sit-
in demonstrations in Atlanta.
Young Barton indignantly de-
nies such accusations. Barnett
and the Commission offer no
proof of their charges, other than
to say they were told it was so
by an informant. There has been
no "day in court" for Barton. Not
even an opportunity for him to
deny the charges to his accusers.
It shocks us to find such evi-
dence of Castroism rampant in
our Mississippi.
It avails us little, however, to
lambast Barnett at this late date.
He is more to be pitied. Having
turned the keys of the mansion
over to the porfessional scav-
engers In the raw flesh of human
emotions and fears, the Governor
is now naught but a haunted
captive creature of the franken
stein he created.
Ouj state's only salvation lies
in the. hands of its people. We
can only pray that they will act
and speak out while time still re-
mains. Time enough to stimu-
late an active awareness of the
truth in the words of Teddy
Roosevelt:
"No man is Justified in doing
evil on the ground of expedi
ency."
Next time it could happen to
you.
