tell. When such a proposal was
made here a few years ago we ex
pressed opposition to the idea as
unsound and unnecessary, and will
continue to do so if the proposal is
revived again. The whole story
doubtless never will be told or
known about government financ
ing of hundreds of big expensive
projects and home building for in
dividuals. If the truth could be
known, it would be among the big
gest scandals of a scandalous age in
our opinion. Whenever individ
uals or groups get access to public
money (taxpayers) there is bound
to be a big question mark, and
sometimes stealing or questionable
actions. There has been shoddy
workmanship and materials tft ex
orbitant cost to home-owners. Po
litical pull is often responsible for
the pouring out *of multiplied mil
lions of dollars all over the country
for government financed projects.
More and more taxpayers will be
left to hold the bag.
Marriage Licenses
Drop For Year
, According to figures released
from the office of Probate Judge
J. Hewlette Wasson, the year 1952
showed a decrease in the number
of marriage licenses issued from!
his office.
In the year just closed, it was
reported, the number of licenses is-|
sued was 482 as compared with 522
the year before. This was a falling
off during the Leap Year period of
forty. One license was issued to|

i he Dagger Ahead
Now that we are about to change
the national Administration which
ras done' much harm, let us hope
that a better day lies ahead with
the exit of Truman.
We have’ had a world war to the
cetriment of everyone except the
Red leaders.' We have through
.-tupidity—or worse Assisted in the
\ nslavement of hundreds of mil
lions of once free human beings.
We have placed a financial burden
of over two hundred thousand mil-
1’ons of dollars debt upon our-
.-elves and our descendants for long!
years to some. We could have re
built a free and happy world—ex
cept for Russia—but now a dark
and dangerous cloud hangs over
it and there is no real joy in the
heart of anyone who is intelligent ^charges Johnston makes are true,
and we presume they are—there is v
no one to blame but Congress it
self. It is encouraging at least,
that a belated discovery has been

The senator has made a late dis
covery. What he now charges was
pointed out in the Hoover Com
mission report back in 1949 report
ing 200,000 employees in 96 coun
tries, working under 44 agencies}
controlled in turn by 30 congres-j
sional committees. A bi-partisan,
study of foreign affairs was then
strongly recommended to uncover;
slipshod personnel policies, dubious
pay scales for clerks and stenog-;
raphers, and duplicating functions!
at unnecessary expense to taxpay-1
ers. Now at this late day the sena-'
tor makes a blanket indictment.!
Where has he been the past three!
years? Why didn’t he and his col-;
leagues become aroused and do
something about the Hoover Com
mission recommendations. If the

Warning Is Given
To Presbyterians
Columbia, Jan. 12.—South Caro
lina Presbyterian ministers were
warned today against building
their church on racial, cultural or
nationalistic, lines.
The warning came from Dr. Jul
ian P. Love, of Louisville, (Ky.),
Presbyterian Theological Seminary
who opened the annual state Pres-
b yt e r i a n ministers convocation
here.
“We cannot change history over
night,” Dr. Love said, “but as long
as we have a cleavage church, built
on racial, cultural or nationalistic
lines, we fall short of the inter
racial system set up by the early
church.”
Approximately 150 ministers
were attending the meeting.
FINAL SETTLEMENT
Take notice that on the 16th day
of February, 1953, I will render a
final account of my acts and doings j
as Executrix and as Testamentary'
Guardian under terms of will of
the estate of Fannie Copeland Bail
ey in the office of the Judge of
Probate of Laurens County, at 10
o’clock a. m., and on the same day
will apply for a final discharge
from my trust as Executrix and
Testamentary Guardian.

tate is notified and required to
make payment on or before that
date; and all persons having claims

eight senators have introduced civ

cf Sen. Humphrey of Minnesot?, a
rabid Democrat.
Humphrey was one of the lead
ing forces at the Democratic con
vention last year when insult upon
insult was thrust upon the South.
He had a big part in insulting this
state's delegation, and of fighting
to deny its members from being
seated the convention, a fight in
which his crowd almost won. They
did win in refusing to allow our
representatives to vote upon the
adopted platform.

A mortgage amounting to $420,-

It is interesting to
note that the originial mortgage
was held by one of the large banks
of Atlanta. In September, 1951,
the mortgage was assigned to a
large New York City bank. It was
then insured, the report states, by
the FHA, to which the New York
bank reasigned the mortgage when
