A blind man, cane in hand, was standing on a bjisy corner waiting for
the traffic light to change. A young lady came up ; in a hurry. In a mo
ment there was a lull in the traffic, and he heard her go across the'StriH't.
The blind man, hearing no vehicles in motion, thought the light had
changed, .hist as he stepped out in the street the flow of traffic reached
the corner once more Though frightened, he manged to reach the op-
posite corner The young lady never realized she had endangered the life
of one who had relied on her for guidance. ■ \
People all about us. in our community and throughout the world, are
looking to us Christians to sho\v them the way. Often we are not aware
of their great need or of our influence upon them Only as we become
sensitive to their need, as .lesus was sensitive to the women who touch
ed the hem ot His garment, can we know the great joy of serving.
PRAYER
Heavenlv Father, as we look out across the world, we see
m, much need that our hearts cry hut. Send us forth with love
and compassion to minister to the needy and bring the love
of Christ to all. Id His name. Amen.

Forty-four Laurens Soil Conser
vation District Cooperators this
week received 11,00(J bass for stoek-
ing their farm ponds. All farmers
were given help through the district
and the Soil Conservation Service
tcchniliaps in *irveying. of the
ponds and t securing the fish. In
many case* the farmers received
cost-sharing help in constructing
the ponds through the local ASC of
fice The fish were furnislfed to the
district through the Federal Fish
a n d Wildlife Service and were
grown in the hatchery at Orange
burg
When ponds are properly stocked,
fertilized and managed they pro
duce good fishing in addition to
supplying w a t e r for irrigation,
stock watering and recreation.
•'The yield Of catchabJe fish from
an unfertilized pond will probably
be about 15 pounds per acre as
compared to 150 or more pounds
per acre from a fertilized pond.”
said W W Neely. CS Wildlife bi
ologist for South Carolina.
Mr.. Neely said that. “It's easy to
have a good fish pond but just as
easy to have a sorry one ’ Some of
the important points to consider
for a good pond are: (1) Pick the
right kind of location. (2) Clear the
basin of all trees and shrubs. (3)
Get rid of all wild fish. (4(Stock
only with bass and bluegills. (5)
Don't fish the pond until the bass

The University of South Carolina,
through its president, Dr Robert
L. Sumwalt, recognizes the pre
eminent public service of B. M Ed
wards, a man of so* many great
qualities and of such transcendent
service to humanity that the Uni
versity really honors itself in the
tribute to Mr. Edwards.
The occasion was the awarding
of the Algernon Sidney Sullivan
tribute to two students and “one
person not on the campus.” Miss
Margaret Elizabeth Caughman of
Lexington, and Mr. Percy A. Wha
ley of/ Columbia, were recognized
and honored for “outstanding cha
racter, high ideals, influence for
good and spiritual endowment,” to
quote freely from the newspaper ac-
cpunty. And 1 quote The State’s ref
erence to Dr. B M Edwards:
"The Sullivan Foundation has al
so provided that the University
j‘has the privilege of honoring’ a
person not on the campus This per
son's life and influence in the larger
community also must reflect these
same characteristics of selfless ser
vice and dedication to the welfare
of his fellow man that has just been
recognized in members of the se
nior class.
I "Each year, therefore, the Uni
versity takes great pride in select
ing some outstanding citizen whose
influence for high ideals and whose
public service is preeminent. This
year we select a man whose career
as a banker, as a national govern
ment official, and as an industrial
statesman is one Ur be proud of.
However, today we ignore those ac
complishments Instead, we think of
a fellow citizen, of a man who has
retired from a successful business
■ career to devote himself whole
heartedly to community enter
prises Among these is the raising
of substantial sums for the assist
ance of private colleges to enable
them to carry on this great work of

Did our government sacrifice
men and money needlessly in 1945?
Were the Japanese ready and
eager to surrender months before
the actual surrender’’
The National Review of May 10,
says in parf:
“Two days before President
Roosevelt left for the Yalta Con
ference, he had received from Gen
eral Douglas MacArthur valid
Japanese peace overtures virtually
identical with those which were ac
cepted in August as the basis for
the Japanese surrender. They were
made up of some five separate pro
posals, two of which came through
American channels and three
through British. These Japanese
peace ‘feelers’ were not irrespon
sible, anonymous, ■fly-by-night’ pro
posals, but ‘came from responsible
Japanese acting for Emperor Hiro-
hito.' General MacArthur urged
President Roosevelt to start imme
diate negotiations with the Japa
nese on the basis of these overtures,
and warned against inviting or
urging the Russians to enter the
war in the Far East
Roosevelt rejected MacArthur*
advice and. figuratively, threw
MacArthur's vitally important m-
formatioa and suggestions into the
waste basket, with Hie remark that

to the ridiculous and alarming ten
dency for our Government to pile on
excessive taxes on private enter
prises. virtually bleeding thi'm
white while investing our tax money
in competing enterprises which pay
virtually no taxes and operate for
the special benefit of preferred cit
izens. . '
I have before me a radio script
which has so astonished me that
I have asked permision to use it.
Ponder this:
“Last year the South Carolina
Electric and Gas Company estab
lish^ several new high records, in
cluding taxes provided for local,
state and national governments and

wages and salaries paid to its em
ployees..
The company’s share of the mo
ney which goes for the support of
the counties and cities in which it
operates, and to the state and fed
eral governments, was the largest
in the history« of South Carolina
Elec-trie and Gas. It reached a total
of over ten million dollars, an in
crease of 8 3% over the previous
•year. During 1957. the 1.915 em
ployees of the company were paid
$8 g million. The stockholders, the
owners, were paid $4,938.92. In ad
dition South Carolina Electric and
Gas invested 24.9 million dollars in
improvements and new construction
of facilities to serve the growing
demands in the 23 county area in
which it operates.” Let me mention i
that the wages paid are high; no
skimping there.
Socialism already here!! 8.8 mil
lions for employees; 104 millions
for taxes!! And $4.938 92 for the *
owners'!
To sum it up: The owners, those
who put up the money; who bear
all the risks, received $4,938.92; the
workers received $8,800,000; and
for taxes $10,600,000.
How can we hope to persuade
men and women to invest their sav
ings in business enterprises when
the investor takes all the risks and
hazards of busines and receives
four per cent on his money? And
that subject .to individual income
taxes.
Without any risk at all the in
vestor can put his money in sav
ings for 34 to 4 per cent. *
We are killing the] goose that lays
the golden egg. Do'you remember
that?

. Vote to Re-Elect
Bennie B. Blakely
Laurens County Supervisor
WHY? He has (he experience to do the job. HOW? He went away from
home and worked with road construction companies for over three years,
learning the road building and maintenance business. This was prior to being
your County Commissioner. This has paid off, during his two terms as Com
missioner, as well as in his two terms as Supervisor. This learning and ex
perience has saved Laurens County thousands of dollars during his service
as Commissioner and Supervisor. Nothing but actual experience will prepare
a man for the big job of being Supervisor.
Mr. Blakely Has Worked His Internship. He is Now Ready to Serve
The County From a Background of Actual Experience.
• He is a man of stature, intelligence and understanding. • Has a big heart, tries desperately to please and
help everyone, • He gives a courteous audience to all who have a request, from the humblest to the most digni
fied. • Has a pleasing personality, is a man easy to deal with. • He has the confidence of his neighbors; his
integrity and sobriety are not questioned; he is a good man to know.
Vote for a Man to be Your Next Supervisor Who Has the Actual
Experience to Carry Out the Functions of the Office of Supervisor!

PHARMACY
in
He is in close touch with the people.
He has the experience and qualifica
tions to make this state a great gover
nor, and the PEOPLE are going to
elect him.
He will oppose any increase in taxes,
including the talked of increase in the
sales tax. He says the trend to add
more and more taxes to the backs of
the salaried people and wage earners
must be stopped.
Reared on the farm, he knows first
hand the problems that confront our
farm population. He believes our farm
ers deserve more than a bare living.
As a merchant himself, he is solidly
against new laws that hamper and
throttle our merchants, and he vigorous
ly favors changes in the unfair floor
tax now imposed on merchants’ stocks
Hs is in full sympathy with aO

automobile, says Bill Johnston, “is the
most over-taxed piece ef property in
South Carolina.”
He is in close touch with the people
in every nook and corner of the state.
He advocates cooperation for the indus
tries we already have in South Caro
lina, and will help secure new indus
tries for every one of our 46 counties
of the state.
He favors maintenance of the 12th
grade in our public schools and in
creased pay for our public school
teachers.
And of course. Bill Jebnston is a
PTOOCRAT.
