WASHINGTON AND
"SMALL BUSINESS”
■-*
Here Are Some Statemehts
ROBERT C. 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.

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.

There could perhaps bo soma
justification if billions were help

farms. But figures prove other

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.

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.

Unfortunately, when agricul
tural secretaries retire, they do
not write their memoirs.

IT NEVER WAS NECESSARY TO
“EnjOy” POOR HEALTH.rs
Many people seem to “enjoy**
poor health. They would not
care to be without a cupboard
ful of odd medicines for self-
treatment—some of which may
not be in keeping with compe
tent medical advice.
The better way is to enjoy
health —by careful planning.
Consult your Doctor at regular
intervals, more often if required.
He will prescribe only the
preparations that you need—
preparations of the highest
quality, such as those frbm the
laboratories of Parke, Davis 8c
Company—prescriptions which
we will be pleased to compound
for you. The necessity for medi
cation will pass, and life with
abundant health can become 8
pleasure indeed.
