Time To Assert Ourselves
The people hardly know nowadays
what to believe. A high official in
Washington makes a statement, it is
denied by someone as untrue.
The chairman of the credentials

ed that Mrs. Annie Agnew had been

Fruehauf sold 132 million dollars
worth of these huge vehicles, accord
ing to Time Magazine, and one of his
big worries is that the public resents
the size of the trailers on which he
has made so much money, and he
admits the bad road manners of the
drivers of the vehicles .Indeed the
article tells how he passed a long
slow line of cars to bawl out a truck-

We are glad Mrs. Agnew has made

or the majority of South Carolinians
would support President Truman un
der any consideration, though we ex
pect to see him renominated. The
party in most of the state is in con
trol of federal office-holders and if
the President decides to run again
the Washington crowd will pop the
whip over the office-holders and they
will be forced into line to help re
nominate him.
The people of our state should be
gin now to make up their minds as
to what course they will pursue. We
may expect little help from our poli
ticians. They are too firmly entrench
ed in Washington patronage, too
43ger to hold their jobs and gain
more seniority which they all crave,
mast of them substituting party loy
alty for principle. Entrenched bu
reaucracy doesn’t breed statesmen,
but joto-holding politicians and bu
reaucrats. Unless the people become
aroused, or to use a stronger word—
