Laurens To Have
New $100,000
Textile ftant
Laurens, April 1—A new $100,-
000 textile plant will be added to
the Laurens industrial picture in
the near future officials of Palmet
to Worsted Mill revealed yesterday.
The plant, to be located on S.
Harper street extension, will utilize
on a lease basis, a building owned
by Hymen Lurey of this city, and
occupied by Hallmark Mfg. Co., un
til about two years ago.
An addition to the building, on
the side next to the armory, is con
templated by the firm. The addi
tion will almost double the space of
the existing structure, making a
total of 7.000 square feet in which
to begin operations.
W. Fred Davis, president and
treasurer of Palmetto Spinning Cor
poration on Sullivan street, will be
vice-president of the new concern.
Mr Davis said that Palmetto
Wonted Mill will be a separate cor
poration engaged the spinning of
machine knitting fine-count wonted
yarn. Palmetto Spinning Corpora
tion manufactures course - count
yarn.
The company expects to employ
a total of 30 persons in two shifts,
with a weekly payroll of approxi
mately $1,500. Defense needs, how
ever, might warrant around the
clock employment of 14 more work
ers, Mr. Davis stated. He indi
cated that much of the firm’s work
is expected to arise from govern
ment defense contracts.
Negotiations have been completed
for the existing building and are
nearing completion for the addition
to be built by Mr. Lurey and leased
by the corporation if present plans
are carried out, according to Mr.
Davis.
Once construction is started, the
addition is expected to be ready for
occupancy within 60 days, he addfed.
A. I. Mason, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, and W. T.
Bolt, secretary, expressed their
gratification at the founding of the
new plant, pointing out the boost
it will give the city industrially
and economically, and added that
the Chamber of Commerce has been
working for some time to bring the
new enterprise to Laurens.
The Senate Is Not Holy
A furore was created in the Sen
ate over the suggestion that an in
quiry into ethics in government
might include members of the sen-
I ate itself.
The majority leader, Senator Mc
Farland, took the floor and was
obviously speaking for most of the
minority as well as the majority
when he said, “I regret that a state-
i ment of this kind should be made
on the floor of the senate.”
It has always been that way.
The senate has very strict rules,
which are more strictly enforced
than any other rules of the Senate,
which forbid any member from re
flecting upon any other Senator or
< the Senate as a body, whether the
reflection be direct or indirect, by
inference or exploit.
But despite its rule, the Senate
is not a private club nor are its
members so noble that they should
be regarded as sacrosanct, either
by themselves or by anyone else.
The worst part of the whole busi
ness is that Senators are immune
from any kind of investigation
except by the Senate itself. Not
only that, they are immune from
the libel laws which serve as a re
straint upon the utterances of other
pfficials as well as those of private
Thursday, April 5, 195T
citizens.
The Senate has the duty of in
vestigating itself and placing re
straints upon its members. That
duty will never be performed until
the Senate loses the atmosphere of
a private club and its members
think of themselves as being res
ponsible not only for the good name
of the Senate but the conduct of
individual Senators.
Senators are not holy. They ren
tier the country a disservice when
they wrap a cloak of sancimony
around themselves.
