...Dignity. Last week there was no bloodshed. South Carolina's Negroes voted quietly. Their votes did not change the result-all the favorites, including blue-blooded, well-heeled U.S. Senator Burnet R. Maybank of Charleston, won handily. Whatever South Carolina thought last week, history might remember crusty, umbrageous Judge J. Waties Waring as a man of cool courage...
