speaking on a resolution. 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. .

Senator financially, more than any

be astounding to see the total
f.mount he has been paid for legal

eral counsel and general manager.

It is the responsibility of every

every voter must possess a registra

The law now also guarantees a

by going to the ballot box and mak

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.
