The bless- :r.gs. of which much is heard, rtVtaUs fispccially is Ibis true in the general] assembly, there should be a number, of candidates from which to make aj choice of three. We need men who; do not ignore the wishes- of the peo- I pie back home and who will put! more business into government. In Jhe legislature, as in congress, we ™eed mon who will fight inflation, high taxes, deficit spending and the rapid drift of this country toward socialism. We need to go back to the Ameri can tried and proven system of pri,- 1 : vatc initiative and individual enter prise, to less state aVid federal med dling and interference—not by more taxes piled upon the people but by loss government spending and wast ing. We are facing a city election also, with candidates in the respective ( wards to be voted upon on a city wide basft by all qualified electors and taxpayers. This means that suc cessful business men should-.be en- i couraged to offer their services in ; | helping finance and conduct the I city’s affairs on a sound, conserva- ! tive basis. The call all along the line is for good men in public office. We have; many of that kind, for .which we! should be grateful. We have many others in office that should be cleaned out. . by Santee-Cooper have blessed the Senator financially, more than any offyer citizen in the state. It would be astounding to see the total f.mount he has been paid for legal .services at the beginning of the pro- Kct with salary since then as gen eral counsel and general manager.

They have followed what many other towns have done with federal funds, which means government in compe tition with private property owners who are heavily taxed, while these goverruqent projects go untaxed. This federal housing program is akiu^f) many other socialized pro grams, all socialistic. Deficit spend ing and Socialism are twins — they The most appropriate place to start revival and general cleaning-up! at we know is Washington, a large rt of which is the federal govern- destroy free enterprise. Good Men Needed Uhder the new state election law Tfie ttfne~~for entry of candidates, county and state, expires next Mon day, April 21. The closing date un der the statute is uniform through out. the state. We have never seen any plausible reason or need for pushing up the entry period. Able, successful business men and farmers should be encouraged to of fer for office, county, city and state. press themselves in a referendum as to whether they approve such spend ing, which is unfair to property owners,—No small group favoring -o-nt.

No Time For 'DeoT Senator Russell of Georgia, now' :-eeking the Democratic presidential nomination, has many qualifications for the office. He has stood for our cherished Southern traditions and :ought for their preservation, includ ing segregation, the civil rights pro gram, and fair labor laws. Fpr this ,-tand this newspaper comrfiends him. A national columnist in a syndi- c-.teci article says there are indica tions that Senator Russell has chang ed his mind on Truman’s civil rights program at least in part. Whether true or untrue we do not know. But the report is made that now a presi dential candidate, Russell might be willing to compromise somewhat, while millions have been thinking he would never accept a compulsory FEPC. Minority groups are being sound- ed out, the report says, about a com promise if such can be worked ou satisfactorily both to Negro leaders and moderate Southern leaders. This is no time for compromise or horse-trading behind the scenes. We had better watch closely for a “deal” by candidates and vote with our eyes wide open. fioseboll Days Again Throughout the land the cry again is “batter up” which carries a thrill to millions of people. It means that spring is here^ and that the popular American pastime now' takes the sports page. From the big league right on down to the vacant town lots the game will be played. In this community there is renew ed interest in the revival of the Cen tral Carolina league, which folded up last year. This interest is due to the fact that the Clinton Mills and Joanna Mills hold berths in this fast four-team loop. Baseball is still the great Ameri can 1 game enshrined for all time with the public. It will never be side tracked by any other sport. It makes its appeal to all classes from the professional down to the youngster large enough to swing a bat and throw a ball. Many a boy had rather develope into a Babe Ruth or Ty Cobb than to be a President Truman or United States senator or congress man.
