Biographical / Historical

Erle Ennis Johnston, Jr., was born on October 10, 1917, in Garyville, Louisiana, to Erle E. Johnston, Sr., and Grace Buchanan Johnston. Erle Johnston, Sr., worked in the lumber business and moved his wife and two sons, Erle and Bert, to Toledo, Ohio, and Jackson, Mississippi, before settling in Grenada, Mississippi, in 1928.

During his years at Grenada High School, Johnston played on the baseball team and was a member of the band. He also started the school's first newspaper and reported part-time for the Grenada Daily-Star. Economic difficulties denied Johnston the opportunity to attend college, so he went immediately to work after his high school graduation in 1935.

Johnston started out working simultaneously as a correspondent for the Jackson Daily News, the Jackson Clarion-Ledger, and the Memphis Commercial Appeal. In 1937, he secured a full-time job with the Clarion-Ledger. One of only eight staff members, Johnston served the newspaper first as state news editor, then as political reporter and oil and gas editor before becoming the first staff photographer for a daily Mississippi newspaper. In 1941, Johnston became part owner of the weekly Scott County Times of Forest, Mississippi. A year later, he bought out his partner's half and became the sole owner of the Times at the age of twenty-four. Johnston worked hard and successfully turned the fledgling paper into a profitable enterprise. The Scott County Times repeatedly received awards of excellence from the Mississippi Press Association, and in 1949, Johnston was elected the MPA's youngest president to date. He was also the only journalist inducted into Sigma Delta Chi, the national journalism fraternity, who had never attended college.

During World War II, Johnston found it difficult to make ends meet. To supplement his income, he assumed the position of State Director of the Office of War Information in 1943. Two years later, he was called to serve in the U.S. Army. After more than a year of service, Johnston returned to Forest and the Scott County Times. The entire time Johnston was away, his wife, Fay Martin Johnston, ran the newspaper.

Because of his reputation as a well-known and well-respected journalist and political reporter, Johnston became involved with public relations in a number of Mississippi political campaigns. His first assignment was with James O. Eastland's senatorial campaign in 1942. He then went on to work in the gubernatorial campaigns of Mike Sennett Conner in 1943 and Fielding Wright in 1947, John C. Stennis' 1947 senatorial race, Oscar Wolfe's congressional campaign in 1950, Hugh White's gubernatorial race in 1951, and Eastland's 1954 reelection campaign. Johnston served as publicity director for Ross Barnett's 1955 and 1959 campaigns for governor, as well as for his Unpledged Elector campaign in the 1960 presidential election. He also helped write and produce the telecasts of the inaugural ceremonies of Governors Ross Barnett, Paul B. Johnson, Jr., John Bell Williams, and William Waller.

Johnston's tenure with the Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission began in 1960, when he was appointed Director of Public Relations by Governor Barnett. The Sovereignty Commission, designed as the state's "segregation watch-dog agency," was created in 1956 in an effort to combat the threat of integration. The Sovereignty Commission came under attack by many civil rights activists, and it was Johnston's assignment to develop a publicity program that would counter such attacks and defend the commission. In 1963, Johnston became Executive Director of the Sovereignty Commission, a position he held until his resignation in 1968.

Johnston's next political endeavor was as Mayor of Forest from 1981 to 1985. During his term, Johnston focused on the advancement and development of the city's industry. Companies such as Hughes Aircraft and Sara Lee Bakeries found homes in Forest, which brought thousands of jobs to the area. In honor of his efforts to build up industry, a street in Forest's industrial park was named Erle Johnston Drive. Also during his service as mayor, the Johnston family sold the Scott County Times.

In 1979, Johnston's son, Erle "Bubby" Johnston, III, became the editor of the Scott County Times, and Johnston began a new career as an author of Mississippi politics. I Rolled With Ross: A Political Portrait, published in 1980, details the political life of Ross Barnett. Mississippi's Defiant Years: 1953-1973, published in 1990, is Johnston's personal account of the Civil Rights Movement in Mississippi. Politics: Mississippi Style, published in 1993, is a collection of political anecdotes from 1911 to 1979. At the time of his death, Johnston was working on a fourth book, tentatively titled "The Thunder of Elephants in Mississippi: From Bayonets to Ballots", about the history of the Republican party in the state.

Johnston was involved in a number of civic, religious, and community activities. He was an active member of the Forest Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary Club, the Retail Merchants Association, and the Country Club. He was a deacon and Sunday School teacher at the Forest Presbyterian Church, and worked with Little League baseball and the Boy Scouts.

In 1992, Johnston served as Co-Chairman of Tougaloo College's Committee on the Preservation of Civil Rights Activities. In 1994, he received what he considered to be his highest honor--induction into the Mississippi Press Association Hall of Fame. He was also responsible for organizing the fortieth anniversary reunion of the players in the 1955 Junior Rose Bowl between Jones County Junior College and Compton Community College of California, which marked the first time a football team from Mississippi played against a racially integrated team.

Johnston died on September 27, 1995, after suffering a heart attack. He had three children, Carol Johnston Lindley, Lynn Johnston Catalina, Bubby Johnston, and five grandchildren.
