WASSON Made During the Campaign That We Like “I practice Christian principles in my personal life, in my business life and in my political life. “I considered it an honor to represent Laurens County in the House of Representatives for seven terms and I represented you in an honorable way. “As your Senator I will not direct any county official to use his office or his authority for my advantage or for my political security or for my personal gain. “Lets keep in mind this fact: Any money appropriated and spent by direction of your Senator and other members of the delegation comes from one source and one source alone, from you the taxpayers. “If any money is wasted, if there is any faulty construction or any county property is improperly used it is a loss to you the taxpayers. “In South Carolina the office of State Senator is a very important one. This office should be held in high esteem and should be conducted in a manner that would merit honor and trust. “I am not only politically dry, I am personally dry. “I firmly believe in and stand for separate schools for the White and Colored. .. r “Don’t force me by Law, by Statute, by Supreme Court Decision, by any way they can think of, don’t force me to cross over .these color lines. “Let me have my church, my school, my home, my family, my friends. Let me build my life and what you let me have, let every man in South Carolina have and let’s keep it like our glorious forefathers made it — The land of the free and the home of the brave. ( T am offering for the office of Senator with the sincere belief that I can be of greater service to Laurens County and the State of South Caro lina. “You have a great privilege. The right to vote for whom you please. You shall choose those who are to direct the affairs of county and state. With this privilege comes a great responsibility. Choose a man for your Senator who stands up for what is right and one who looks to God for guidance. This being an election year, Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Benson finds many ready to tell him about birds and bees. . t * * * Perhaps not birds, bnt assured ly bees, because honey, stored In M gsUon drums, Is one of the farm commodities held by the government to * the tune of almost M bil lion. Storage, costs alone run aronnd $800,-] MO per day. * • * Indeed. Sec-, retary Benson) has large prob lems. For ex-1 _ ample, he has c. W. Hsrdsr about $2 billion worth of wheat he would gladly give away to foreign nations, with U. S. pay ing all transportation costs. * * * There la also over 8 million bales of government owned sur plus cotton. An sttempt is now being msde to sbuck off s mil lion or so bales to foreign na tions at a price between 6 and 8 cents pee pound under prevail ing market. as* This does not make foreign cotton producing nations happy. Neither does it gladden Ameri can textile manufacturers fight ing for life against flood of cheap textile imports made by labor paid as little as 14 cents per hour. They just can’t see the justice of subsidizing these for eign competitors «at U. S. tax payers’ expense by giving them cheaper cotton. • *.o Actually, price of quality cot ton is held to be too low. But market is glutted with short staple cotton . . . less than one inch. This junk cotton is what the government Is getting. So U. S. taxpayers are gettin* the short end of the cotton, too. K .terati- » «.f .tu nivt liiuinw By C. WILSON HARDER There could perhaps bo soma justification if billions were help ing family sized, independent farms. But figures prove other wise. For example, In 1954, aver age loan by government on cot ton price support was $289. • o * Bnt huge British owned Delta A Pine Land Co. In Mississippi received from government for unsold cotton $1.1192,742. • * * J The Delta and’Pine Land inci dent it just one of many causing embarassment in Washington. • *o. So Benson proposes setting np plan to change land from surplua crop production acreage to soil building acreage. Thus, wheat and corn land would be taken ont of production* planted to trees and grass. • * * Plan envisions farmer being paid for cost of planting and also reimbursed for an annual return from these diverted acres. * * • Bnt to avoid any more million dollar pins government pay ments to huge corporation farms. Secretary Benson proposes to limit payments to any one farm er to $5000 per year. * # This viewpoint is not going to influence people and win friends for Benson in some quarters. * * 1 It will be interesting to son what happens to his proposals. Many observers feel Secretary Benson in past three years would have made great strides with farm situation If there had not been so many throwing banana peels in his path. *00 Unfortunately, when agricul tural secretaries retire, they do not write their memoirs. • o • Because Secretary Benaan could undoubtedly writ* n most engrossing book, even perhaps selecting as a title “Boobytraps I Found Along the Potomac.” with each office and asked to have their continued support The program, “Our Communty in the WoWd,” was presented by Mrs. C.
