Laurens Central
PTA Advocates 20%
Teacher Pay Raise
A resolution was passed by the
Laurens Central Parent-Teachef
Association at its meeting on Feb. j
11 advocating a 20 per cent sal
ary increase for South Carolina
teachers. Supporting funds to
pay for the increase would come
from a “tax increase," according
t* the resolution.
Following is the resolution:
“Laurens Central PTA approves
20 r fr salary increase for teach
ers and a tax increase to cover
same.”
The I^aurens county senator
and members of the House dele
gation in the General Assembly
were informed by telegram of the
passage of the resolution.
The message ,was signed by
Robert M Clayton, president of
the association, who urged the
delegation to give careful con
sideration to the “expressed wish
of voters in your vote on this
measure now before you.”
Copies of the message were also
sent to newspapers of the county.
The Wildlife Resources Depart
ment is looking for little rockfish,
provided they come from Lake
Greenwood.
^ Back in January, 1955, the de
partment stocked Lake Green
wood with 297 adult rockfish
from the tail race canal below
Santee-Cooper, hoping the fish
would become established in
Lake Greenwood. The stocking
had a two-fold purpose: to pro
vide an excellent game fish for
the lake and to aid in reducing
the over-population of gizzard
shad
There were no evidences of re
production in the spring of 1955
or 1956, but recently the depart
ment has received several reports
of small rockfish being caught.
These fish were returned to the
water, since when the fish were
stocked a law Was passed to re
quire that all caught were t6 Be

released. However, the depart^
meht says to forget about the law
as far as fish under 12 inches are
concerned, since it is important to
learn whether the adult fish are
reproducing. If the presence of
the young fish is established, the
ban will be replaced.
Therefore, if you catch a rock
fish less than 12 inches long,
please preserve it by plaving it in
an ice box or freezer. Then con
tact one of the following persons
and notify them of your catch:
Senator Alex Woodle, Green-
wood; Senator Robert C. Wasson,
Rt. 3, Laurens; or the following
game wardens: S. A. Lee, Lau

the South Carolina Electric and
Gas company. The company al
ways is engaged in some kind of
expansion in serving its custom
ers. Sbmebody totaled up the
budget for the next three years
and found it exceeds $75 million.
This money includes more than
$16 million for steam generating
facilities.
Not an acre of precious soil will
be flooded for steam plants. Hy
droelectric power is old-fashion
ed. SC&EG is doing business on
a sound and modem basis. In
hoping to make a profit, the <5om-
pany will contribute to the well
being of the state. It will PAY
taxes, not eat them."
Seventy-fiVe million dollars!
That is just ahead; a hundred
million dollars has been spent by
that great company from Janu
ary, 1947, to January of this year.
It really is a hundred and fifty
millions!!
I had read quite a bit about
the South Carolina Electric and
Gas company’s investment, but l
consulted Executive Vice-Presi
dent J. M. Costello so as to be ac
curate. He told me in substance,
what .1 have cited—more than
$100,000,000 in nine years!!! $50,-
000,000 more!!
Mr. Sam Wiemer, the alert and
capable publicity representative
tells me that the company paid
about $8,000,000 in taxes for 1956.
-This great company was famous
once for its massive dam and hy
droelectric plant. But today it
generates 75% by steam, so as to
assure steady, dependable and
abundant power twelve months
in a year, every week, every day
and every night. Modem indus
try can’t afford to shut down un
til it rains in the mountams.

President Eisenhower has al
lowed himself to go off halt-
cocked on -several issues, very
notably his. very earnest espousal
of a wild idea of maintaining
peace with millions of American
dollars.
I must be prepared, of course,
for the charge that I am attack
ing and forsaking the man I vot-
ed-for. I still admire and respect
Mr. Eisenhower and would sup
port him again if conditions were
as they were in the summer of
1956. But he is today almost out-

dping Mr. Truman.
President Eisenhower has done
much to improve the atttiude of
the Government in some respects,
but he has dived overboard in
other matters. I am glad Senator
Olin Johnston has made a strong
attack on the foolishness, waste
fulness, and hopelessness of this
latest phase of the Marshall Plan.
Let us look at the facts; are we
willing or able to uplift all the
world? What have we accom
plished to this time with fifty bil
lion dollars squandered all over
the world? On the other hand
we ourselves are burdened with
taxes and more or less hamstrung
in competing with a resurgent
world, largley able to fight us
with the money paid by American
taxpayers.
We must forget our personal
loyalty or political loyalty to Mr.
Eisenhower, when we think him
Tn, error, and boldly fight for the
best interests of this nation. Feed
ing, uplifting, rehabilitating, and
arming the world against Russia
is not our business. We are just
scattering our resourtes all over
the world.
We lived with Czars, Kaisers,
Emperors, Sultans, Kings, and
Despots many generations; we
can’t reform the world today. .
Make America strong and ju£t;
and let us attend to our own
business.

Suppose Mr. Robert M. Cooper,
Director of the State Develop
ment Board, should say that a
million dollar enterprise wanted
to find a location? So far as the
state is concerned, that might not
excite Mr. Cooper since he has
grown accustomed to new enter
prises, as well as expanded enter
prises. But Lee county, Claren
don county, Williamsburg coun
ty, and Berkley county would be
so aroused that'every official and
businessman would be on his toes
Our piedmont counties wouldn’t
become excited bec'ause they al
ready have many millions invest
ed and every year many millions
rrore are expended in expansion.
Even opulent Richland and stur
dy Fairfield would-be alert at the
prospect of a new million dollar
investment. However, here is an
item I copy from The State:
"A construction budget in ex
cess of $75 million'has been fore !
cast for the South Carolina Elec
tric and Gas company’s system
during the next three years, it
was revealed here yesterday. Thjs
figure is the largest in the com
pany’s history.
"The company’s board of direc
tors approved more than $29 mil
lion for construction in 1957 Qt a
meeting held in Columbia on
Wednesday. The forecast for
1958 comes to a record of $32
million, and presently forecast for
’959 is another $14 million.”
And here follows an editorial
from The News and Courier, of
Charleston:
“If Congress had appropriated
$75 million of ’taxpayers’ mon
ey to be spent on new construc
tion in South Carolina, streamer
headlines would have heralded
the news in the press. Politicians
would have fallen over each other
claiming Credit for ‘bringing these
blessings to Palmetto soil.’ Glow
ing statements would have prais
ed the foresight of our govern
ment.
"Yesterday a relatively modest
dispatch was published in The
News and Courier and other
newspapers reporting a $75 mil
lion construction program. It <*an

news. Not a dime of this money
will come from the taxpayers.
Indeed, the money will create
new taxable property. Unlike

T. H. Copeland was assisted
last week in the survey of a stock
watering pond on his beef cattle
farm near Joanna. The site is
very desirably located for the
purpose of livestock water The
survey showed that the water im
pounded will furnish water for
four different pastures which are
used in a rotational System of
grazing. Mr. Copeland said, "the
droughts of the past few years
have made us realize more than
ever the importance of having
•i good supply of water for our
livestock. Thai branch dried up
last year for the first time—to
my knowledge.’’
Mr. Copeland is using cost
sharing payments through the
iocal ASC office to help pay the
cost of constructing the dam This
payment has been increased from
last year. It was ten cents a cubic
yard, it is now twelve cents a
cubic yard. Total payment is
limited to the soil biulding al
lowance for the farm. Appli
cations must be made to the local
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation office before start
ing the practice.
An additional 50,00 loblolly
pine seedlings were received this
week by the district fi^im the
South Carolina State Commission
of Forestry for the following
landowners: L. G Bagwell, J T.
Culbertson, L. T. Culbretson, Dr.
L. L. Long, R. D. Godfrey. R H.
Jacques and Mrs. W C. Knight.
This is the third and last deliv
ery of seedlings made this sea-
{ -on and makes a total of 237,000
j delivered by the district this sea
son. Applications are now being
taken for seedlings to be plant
ed next year.
Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Knight, qt
the Princeton section, have re
quested assistance from the dis
trict in land selection and plant-
pines next season. They plan to
ing of approximately 110 acres of
use the district’s tree planting
t service for setting out the seed
lings.
E. H. Shumate, of Rt 2, Foun
tain Inn, has made a request- to
the district for assistance in
planting approximately five acres
pf coastal bermuda grass this
spring. This, is being done as a
part of a complete soil and water
conservation! plan on the farm
which the SCS technicians helped
him prepare in 1956. The district’s
automatic bermuda planter will
l>e used in setting out the grass
stolons.
Farmers who are to plant coast
al bermuda are urged^to make
their plans early, as tflebest time
to plant iti is in the early spring
while there is plenty of moistqro
in the ground and rain is plenti
ful.
