Philadelphia CLINTON, S. C., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1954 The Garrisons Leave The removal of Rev. E. K. Garrison and Mrs. Garrison to another city to continue their pastoral work is a source of regret to many in the city and community, not only in the membership of his church, but with friends of other denominations. Included in the group is The Chronicle and the pub lisher’s family which has held the Garri sons in high esteem for a number of years and appreciate their friendship. Mr. Garrison is a kind, sympathetic and faithful pastor, with a cordiality and personality that makes friends. A man of ripe experience, fine judgment, sanity, fairness, courage, and common sense, he stands firm in his convictions as a Christian gentleman. And what goes for the min ister applies to his helpmate. Mrs. Garri son has been an invaluable worker in her church and by her affable disposition, understanding, personality and con sideration always for others, has won a warm place in the hearts of the church membership. We hate to seem them go. They will be missed. We wish for them God’s blessings in their new work. Thurmond Our Choice Eight years ago The Chronicle sup ported Strom Thurmond for governor and was happy in his election. At the conclus ion of his term we expressed the opinion that he had made one of the ablest chief executives of the state over a long period of years. His clean record and conduct in office support that belief. In the approaching 'important election for the United States Senate he has the courage to stand up against ring rule, to fight for a principle over against deceptive party loyalty as a qualification for office. We heartily endorse Strom Thurmond as a worthy successor to the late Mr. Maybank, and in recognition of his long record of service to his state and country. His rec ord as governor for four years is outstand ing and one of solid accomplishment and progress. The great industrial develop ment that brought so many new jobs and so much new income to our people was sponsored by his administration, and con tinued through the Byrnes administration. In 1948 he dared to champion the cause of the South against FEPC and other puni tive measures conceived by the Truman Democrats (so-called). Thurmond has always placed principle above party as an independent Democrat. He is not a symbol of political rings in this state. And it should not be forgotten that while his opponent Senator Brown has been a powerful politician in his county of Barnwell for forty years—he has never won a state-wide election, although twice he ran for the U. S. Senate and was defeat ed. the second time taking “cold feet” and* withdrawing from the race. His only bat tle cry is “loyalty”, loyalty to himself, loy alty to his political friends, loyalty to the National Democratic party which is now contributing funds to his campaign. Thurmond knows and loves his state and the people of the South. He will re flect credit upon our state. This newspa per knowing the man personally, is en thusiastic for his election as Maybank’s successor, and heartily endorses him to our readers. ‘ , pper Room NASMVK.il TINNISSil Our Chest Appeal Again The annual Community Chest appeal with a goal of $15,315 got underway Mon day morning with a large number of vol unteer workers taking to the field to make a community-wide canvass. It is hoped by the officers that the campaign will be clos ed by the end of the week. A number of deserving agencies as an nounced are included in the approved bud get. The list, it should be understood, does not include the polio appeal made annual ly through the March of Dimes appeal. The same is true of the Christmas Seals Sale by mail in the fight against tubercu losis. Both of these agencies deserve the support and interest of our people. The idea back of the Community Chest is to pool charitable efforts in one drive to replace the constant canvasses that are made for many worthwhile causes, with the burden falling always upon merchants and business houses of the city. These campaigns, as we all know, require a great amount of work, and likewise place a bur den upon a small group of men and wom en who are repeatedly called upon to make the canvasses. One central agency elimi nates the numerous seperate drives. It is not incumbent upon us to tell any one what he should contribute to the Chest or any other cause. Suffice to say we should all be willing to participate in the effort. To reach the goal there must be a wholehearted, generous and cheerful response. It can only be reached if we all do our fair share. How To Vote The responsibility rests upon the voters of this state to select a United States Sena tor in next Tuesday’s election to succeed the late Burnet R. Maybank. The nomi nee of the 31 executive committeemen is Edgar A. Brown, hand-picked in a high handed manner by the strong influence bf the Barnw’ell Ring. No voter is under obli gation to support this nominee because he has not been nominated in a primary. Fortunately, voters have a strong write-in candidate — Strom Thurmond— with indications pointing to his election in the approaching election by an aroused citizenship of the state. Mr. Thurmond’s courage to stand up for a principle against bossism and empty party loyalty bragging, to allow himself to be a write-in candidate means that the people have a say so in I choosing the successor to Mr. Maybank. Today a diagram appears in the paper showing how a person should mark his ticket if he wishes to vote for the commit tee nominee (Mr. Brown) for the senate or a w'rite-in candidate—Mr. Thurmond. It is very simple to vote as the descriptions show r and all readers of this newspaper should familiarize themselves with the technique before going to the polls. Space is provided for the name of Thurmond as the illustration shows, or you can have the manager do it for you in your presence. Your vote is necessary if we are to [ have government by the majority—not by! a controlled machine group of politicians. The right of freedom is the bulwark of representative government. If through machine politics pressure we allow that freedom to be stolen from us—then only can we blame ourselves. THE WORLDS MOST WIDELY USED DEVOTIONAL GU'DE Sir, giv* m* this water, that I thirst not. (John 4:15.) Read John 4:9.15. One summer moming some people went hunting. The day be came hotter and hotter. Their supply of drinking water was soon used. More was needed but none could be found. Later in the day a family passed that way. They gave of their supply to quench the hunters’ thirst. That day the hunters learned that man cannot sur vive without water. The state of man is tragic without Christ. The soul is dead un less it gains freedom that comes through Him. The soul’s progress comes through Him. Without Christ we are nothing. As the light of the world, Jesus is the source of life, knowledge^ inspiration, and joy. As the door, He is the entrance into salvation and the realm of God. As the good shepherd, He is the constant companion, provider, guide, and defender. As the bread of life, He is strength, growth, and virtue in all good activities. As the true vine, He is the divine supporter of the Church. It is through com munion with Him that we are daily endowed with love, joy, and peace. He is the resurrection and the life. From His fulness we all receive grace. PRAYER Our heavenly Father, we come to Thee because we have faith that w» can obtain from Thee complete sat isfaction for all our needs. Give us spiritual light that we may know Thee. Be Thou the light for our dark ness. In Jesus' name. Amen. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY In Christ we are complete.

DISCUSSES INVESTORS VS SPECULATORS By ROGER W. BABSON Babson Park, Mass., October 28—I have always encouraged the safe investment of money through buying stocks in well known, standard, dividend-paying companies, plus diversification amongst a large number of companies. That is why I have favored the Investment Trusts and Mutual Funds for those with only a little money. These should give safety and security. The nation as a whole, however, may get top- heavy with "safe investments.” Too many people cannot live on the dividends of old-established corporations. Some people must be willing to take some risks by putting money into new enter prises. Who Built American Industries? During the past few weeks I have been study ing the industrial history of New England. Con servative “investors” did not build the cotton fac tories, the paper mills, the woolen plants of New England. These were built by men willing to take ilsks. The sailing ships which set fortlfffom Bos ton, Portsmouth, Gloucester, Salem, and New Bed ford to all parts of the world—without charts or steam—and even before the days of lighthouses— were built by “speculators,” not by “investors.” The Securities and Exchange Commission has done a good thing for conservative investors and the big, established companies; but whether the Commission has done well for the nation as a whole is debatable. America today needs more speculators. Pioneering Encouraged It is said that the Democrats inaugurated most of the new tax law changes to help the sick and aged. The Republicans however, are responsible for the features of the 1954 Tax Law which en courage invention, industry, and young concerns- During the Roosevelt administration, business was treated wih a certairt disdain. The New Deal poli ticians and professors, who had had no experience with business, wrote the laws. Such legislation has helped the unfortunate who were unable to work", but it has discourage 1 the formation of new companies to provide fu ture employment. It has been very difficult for young men to get the capital or to save enough from earnings to start a new business. It has been like trying to run a church without a Sunday School—or have a family without raising children. The new 1954 Tax Law makes it easier for any young man of good character to start a new busi ness. It also encourages older investors to take some risks by starting new enterprises, prospecting for uranium and other rare metals, and providing future employment for the next generation. Whai Utopia Maans To Me Mrs. Babson and I have founded three success ful colleges—Babson Institute for men at Babson Park, Mass., Webber College for women at Babson Park, Fla., and a third college in the center of the United States, at Eureka, Kansas. This third school is intended to help worthy young people with vision do new things which their parents or friends may think impossible. As I meet the men who are doing big things today, I find that—as a rule—they did not come from big cities. Most of them were brought up on farms. Their college was the wood box ami the com field. They were obliged to fight severe heat in summer and cold in winter. They thought that life consisted of taking risks with horses, cattle and storms. Steam heat, air conditioning, and flossy colleges may make good investors, but modem luxuries do not teach men to A greater willingness to risk is the need of America today. One More Thought Young people who are born without luxury or without mon ey and who are struggling for an education should read this: You have as much as anyone in the world. No President, Prime Minister, Professor, or Captain of Industry has more time than you have. I forecast that some day ev ery reader will realize that time is worth more than money. My appeal this week is that you use a fai r proportion of your time in taking risks for the good of the nation. who led his team to victory over the locals last year. Clinton boasts the better won- lost record of the two teams, with a 6 won, 1 lost, 1 tied count. The “Stingers” have been defeated on four occasions and have gained three victories. Coach Ray Strickland is report ed to <be shifting his line-up for the game, the line probably being the same and the backfield also as in previous games.
