Black Mayor of Fayette, Miss, isStrictly a "Law and Order" Man

FAYETTE, Miss. As thefirst black mayor in 100 years

of Fayette, Mississippi - a town

70 per cent black - CharlesEvers claims he's a "law andorder man" on the ABC News

"Now" series program, "Black

Mayor in a recent braodcast.As mayor of Fayette, Evers

is also town judge, so he is in

excellent position to deal withthe law, and law-breakers.

"I'm a law and order man,"he says. "White people, as I'vesaid before, just can't stand a

sassy Negro, or a sassy coloredman, or a sassy black man.

They want that head-scratch-ing, that foot-shuffling black.That's all they've ever been

used to."

Lest he be accused of favor-ing blacks over whites, MayorEvers has cracked down hardon black law-breaking, much ofwhich, he* J

been overlooked by previousall-white administrations.

"You know before," claimsEvers, "they didn't care what

happened to a black man. Ablack man could kill anotherblack man, or kill a woman or

beat a woman, and nothing wasdone about it ? just anothernigger being beaten or killed,

withWith me, I don't allow that.

I just don't allow that. If you

slap a woman or beat a woman

in this town, I give them the

maximum, which is $250 or

$300."So white people say he'sharrassing them, Evers charges,when he "looks them in the

eye ans says no, you're wrong,if you break the law you're

going to pay."

One result of his law-and or

der efforts? Evers says: "I un-

derstand that the whites are

telling the blacks, 'You see, Itold you he's going to be

rougher on you than we

were'."But Evers is committed to

his self-avowed law and orderstance, ans says he'll continueit even though, "Its hurts when

you hear your own people say,'Well, I wouldn't vote for him

no more. He's too strict.

"I tell white folks like I tellblack folks, don't break the

law. I won't harass you, but ifyou break the law, I don't care

who you are. You can be themayor, the ex-mayor, even my

own wife - if she breaks the law
