Adams VETERINARIAN €14 Musgrove Street if ^ Phones: Office 958 Residence 991-W Clinton, S. C. The failure of Santee-Cooper to, provide power according to its con- j tract with the Pittsburg Metalurg- , ical Co. of Charleston is not a po- licital matter; it is the direct re-1 suit of very low water. A traveler • can see islands covered with grass in the lakes supplying Santee- Cooper. Neither Mr. Jefferies nor j anyone else is responsible for the low water. It may be noted that in | the Pacific region the w'ater has been very low. with shortage of power, either actual shortage or feared shortage. There is something that we might learn from this: the necessity for • harmonious, even friendly, rela-1 tions among all our power compan- j ies. There would be no shortage, anywhere if those having power ( could work agreeably with those, having a shortage. It is said that Santee-Cooper does not want to ac-1 cept power from the private power companies. That must be a mis take. for I am told that Santee's ( Co-ops are being served by private power companies, probably under ( an exchange arrangement, ' by ; which Santee-Cooper will “pay back’' in power whatever it draws from private power companies to-; day. Santee-Cooper may regard low water as a valid reason for a fail ure to fulfill a contract. Whether I am correct in this or , not is not important; what impress es me is this if Santee-Cooper had high water it would have fqr spe cial sale what is called secondary power This would be over and above its contract for what is called secondary power This would be over and above its contract for what h called firm power, Why shouldn't there be a working agree ment on a peasant helpful beats* Why should there be a program of Santee •Coper to do bailie with priv ate companies* The Santee Cooper la a great power plant it belongs te Use] Stele why. then. *r> «-^ d the State the state itself, try te cut the throet of private pmmnr sntsrpriani whtrh pas null«■**» of Sottan ad taxes* W* liPV **,* V • #1 #>|l UMffi f ft Uoasalty and get the deal eel «f IMftf eyes end the Sag asst ad «mr hrame Ler * thmh it oeS together Whet is SaeSee Cooper* It is a great an ganeeraag orrwmplashanont by which iKe tl f higher eSeeatsoa ed the Monte* Sever ever the Cooger river m ened And berk ed the • the nasgMp mnaans oheh the SnhMae pmwe ado the Allenlar Oraon A1 though engineers moy have 4e ■grud el (Met m new den MeSery Today we Move me greet p>ont it a pun in thr prosperity of all the State and all its enterprises; but because he is the fount of justice, to see that all interests, all enterprises, all citizens, are equal before the law. Greater than that, the Gov ernor, as the Senator whose labors brought him National and World wide acclaim, and whose services named this tribute of recognition | from President Roosevelt, he has a double right to see that the scales of justice are evenly balanced. What is being taught the boys and girls in high schools and what is taught the young men and young women in the Colleges? Much has been said of late about subversive stuff being taught. Do we know what is being taught in South Car olina? Frankly, I don’t know, though I should now. We bring in teachers and professors with no knowledge of them except that they have such and such degrees. We do not emphasize sufficiently abil ity to teach and the stimulating quality that arouses the pupil to think and investigate. But we find teachers — some times—who try to appear intellec tual by casting doubt on the cus toms and traditions we may cher ish. And a lot of subversive stuff is found in some text books. Recently a young lady, told a friend of mine quite a story about a well known and respected insti- j tution of learning. The man came | to me and told me the story. I wrote to the President of that in stitution and he denied the whole account that I had heard. I think! he was entirely honest, but how can he know all that the instruc tors tell the students? I do not for get that 166 students sent a tele gram to Senaor Olin D. Johnston urging him to vote for the F.E.P.C. Most of us thought the students were young men and women from northern states, but that wasn’t so. Several of us checked the names they were South Carolinians, sons and daughters of established fsm- dies One young man from Lex mg- ton asked that his name be stricken out because ha signed under a my trust as Executor. Any person indebted to said estate payment on or before that date; and all persons having claims against said estate will present them on or is notified and required to make!before said date, duly proven, or be forever barred.

It pays virtually no taxes and is not subject to regula tion and control by the Public Serv ice Commission. It can borrow money of its own motion—as it did recently; it can make almost any sort of contract—as it did recently; it may fix its own rates—as it does. Frankly, it is an unsound arrange ment, but it is the sort of thing the Federal government has encour aged. This is no ground for an at tack on Santee-Cooper; and much less is it a reason for remarks against the management. The Act creating Santee-Cooper should be amended. It was an Act of the Gen eral Assembly of South Carolina and should be amended, so as to make Santee-Cooper as fully amen able to the Public Service Commis sion as are the tax-paying private companies. Before leaving the subject I say again; Santee-Cooper now is a big asset and should be used as an as set, not as a menace. Since Presi dent Roosevelt virtually gave thir ty-five million dollars because of his appreciation of Senator Byrnes, the State has seemed to regard San tee-Cooper as a private club. It is a great property of the State and the Legislature should take an in terest in it. I commend it also to my friend, the Governor, for the State owes the fulfillment of the dream jf T. C. Williams to James F. Byrnes, for he made it a reality by getting the money. So the Governor can speak not only as Governor of the State, one • II wbs ~ki quits Uksly thst Ml tbs Ursslitss hsd oil ever Egypt and hsd pros CsrtMtkjr the* had ao mul tiplied that Ptmraoh fsared thorn as • mstiars Is ths safety of Egypt Ik Urns of war tbry might units with a samng nation and destroy Egypt It appsan that ths Pharaoh who began ths oppression of ths Israel ites waa Rameees III, one of ths greatest of ths Egyptian rulers.

But there God remembered his people, and he spoke to Moses out of the light of the flame of tbe burning bush and commissioned him to go into Egypt to deliver his people. And God took knowledge of his people and remembered his cov enant to make them a great nation. And what Moses had failed to do in his own strength he was able to do with God’s help.

Down along the coast of South Carolina ,, brotus n is that extra handful one gets for good measure. . The News and Courier in the best tradition of the Low- country gives its readers “brotus” every day. It sends its roving correspondent, Bill Workman, or staff men from Charleston to a]l parts of the state to add that extra portion to the news each day. In this manner it is often first to dig up many stories of vital importance to South Carolinians. Give The News and Courier another first place for editorial daring. Day by day it drives home its claim to being "South Carolina’s Most Outspoken Newspaper”.
