C., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24 1953 Pennant Winners The stage is now set for the big world series. The lineup as was pre dicted will be the Yankees versus the Brooklyn Dodgers, and several hundred thousand fans will witness the series. It is the fifth straight time that Manager Casey Stengel has trium phed with his Yankees, and the sec ond consecutive season for Dodgers victory under Manager Dressen, which means that these two smart baseball generals have walked away with the pennants in their respective leagues, American and National. It is pretty generally true that the baseball championship of the world is held by teams of Greater New York and this happens so often it doubtless dampens the hopes of lesser baseball centers. With their strong financial backing the New York and Brooklyn teanjs have earned their preeminence in the national baseball world. There would be an increased interest with the rise of a stronger competition by other big league team&. Folks just don’t like to see one team win all the time. We don’t. The Stage Is Set Ex-President Truman, would-be- president Stevenson, aided by other prominent New Dealers have begun their campaign to win next year’s congressional elections and priming for the 1956 campaign when the term of President Eisenhower ex pires. What they are interested in now^far more than anything else, is winning the elections and getting back into power. Party is put above principle as expected of this group of prominent politicians who never had it so good until the voters made a housecleaning. The Democrats had a big two-day • bidding conference for what they termed as “harmony”. Mr. Truman’s hand-picked man gave a report on his recent world tour. This was a political balloon while the main idea of course was the focusing of state chairmen and congressmen on the ’54 elections spotlighted by a $100- a-plate dinner. The former presi dent as would be expected, attacked the policies of President Eisenhower and charged that the country “had gone to the dogs” since he left of fice, and that he regarded Steven son as the party leader, calling him the “number one Democrat in the United States”. The big threat to harmony, a challenge on the “loy alty pledge” which almost wrecked last year’s convention is still on the convention book. The issue was side-tracked for expediency, but may be expected to be revised at the next convention by its bosses who would rule the South and break down Southern traditions and prin ciples. Mr. Stevenson did not push him self too fast at the conference but left it to former president Truman to swing the partisan meat-ax— which of course he did with gusto. He is a genus politician from tip to toe. Mr. Stevenson let it be known clearly that he is an under-study of the Missourian. Stevenson and Tru man ran the show as efforts of Southerners to kill the loyalty! pledge requirements were pushed aside. The stage is carefully set for a repetition of 1952 in 1956. in an effort to get Eisenhower to run for president as a Democrat, and was loud in singing his praises. Speaking of “alibi,” Johnston him self is a past master. It will be re called he did not go to the polls on election day in Spartanburg county. His “excuse” was—bad weather. It‘s refreshing to find a public official who honestly faces facts and tells the truth. Such a man is Rep resentative McMillan. While most of our leaders are trying to blame the Eisenhower administration even for the severe drought this summer, Mr. McMillan doesn’t play ball that way. He said in an address at Flor ence a lew days ago: A great hue and cry has gone up over the big decline in the price of cattle, and of course the “Democrats” are blaming it on politics. He doesn’t, but points out the real cause. Francis B. Taylor, News and Cou rier rowing reporter, had this story in the Charleston paper last Friday, sent from Florence: “The currently depressed cattle prices are largely due to drought and scarcity of pastures,” Rep. John L. McMillan (D-SC) believes. Poli tics cannot be blamed, he thinks. “Interviewed here on the eve of his departure for a nation-wide tour for Congressional farm hearings, Rep. McMillan said he believes farm prices generally are.‘not too bad.’ ‘As a member of the House Agri culture Committee, Rep. McMillan has been assigned to a sub-commit tee which will conduct hearings all over the country on a tour that will last nearly two months. From the hearings and from observations of the members, the committee will draft a farm bill for introduction at the next session of Congress. “From testimony and comment by livestock raisers over the nation, Rep. McMillan believes that “only fly-by-nights’ want federal controls of livestock production.’ “He said the drought and price slump is squeezing most of them out. When distress movement of low grade animals had ended, most agriculture experts look for a mod erate rise in farm prices for beef. Nobody seems to expect the price to go back to the peaks of a few years ago. Rep. McMillan hopes for a boost that will permit profitable production and a narrow enough spread to leave the meat within reach of most consumers.” A Truman or a Lehman, or a Mitchell, or a Roosevelt would never have made any such statement as this. They would have put the blame for depressed cattle prices on the Republican administration. But Mr. McMillan is not that kind of a politician. The rank and file of cattlmen are not blaming the administration. Those who do are unfair. All of us know that the cattlemen In the big livestock areas have been making a “killing” in prices and have been producing an over-supply with the hope that there would be no decline in prices. We know that the drought in Texas caused them to unload their cattle on the market and this naturally depressed the price. Po litical parties, either Democrat or Republican, cannot control the sea sons of weather. God still rules the uqiverse. In the meanwhile housewives are rejoicing that the exorbitant prices of meats in recent years have de clined. for cuts and bruises. Investigating officers were Deputy Floyd Allison of the sheriff’s office and the coun-i ty police. Coroner Nichois said that no in quest will be held. Born in Dillon, Rev.

A cold in the head can make you feel just plain miserable. 1 Without proper care, it can even endanger your health. That’s why Howard’s Rexall Drug Store suggests that you treat a head cold with the se riousness it deserves. The first thing to do, of course, is to check with your family phy sician. While your cold is still in the early stages, he can ad vise you on the proper pre cautionary measures and can prescribe the medicines he feels will be most helpful to you in checking and relieving the discomforts brought on by the cold. Remember, health is your most precious possession. Don’t take chances with it. See your doctor when you’re not feeling well... see him when ever it’s time for a physical check-up. Should he give you a prescription, take it to HOW ARD’S, your friendly Rexall Drug Store, on the Square in Clinton. Duke's Mayonnaise pts. 29c What Is the Truth? Former President Truman is charging the Eisenhower adminis tration with the falling prices of farm products in an effort to arouse dissatisfaction among this large and important grAup. It is a deceptive charge for as a matter of fact the fall in farm prices started way back in the Truman administration be fore Eisenhower had even been nominated for the presidency. Representative John L. McMillan of the 6th South Carolina congres sional district is a different kind of politician from the average one of “Democratic” species. A news item says Senators Johnston and May- bank have turned against the new administration and are out to pick flaws. Johnston says the farmer is being cut in income since the exit Of the Truman crowd which he endorsed and apparently still does He has named the president “Alibi Ike,” which is a partisan po litical sobriquet. Johnston, it will be_re< tiled, was one of the leaders FINAL SETTLEMENT Take notice that on the 3rd day of November, 1953,1 will render a final account of rry acts and doings as Guardian of the estate of Richard Albert Thomas in the office of the Judge of Probate of Laurens Coun ty, at 10 o’clock a.m., and on the same day will apply for a final dis charge from my trust as Guardian.
