Senator from Sooth Carolina CIVIL RIGHTS’ FRAUD Many of those pushing for so-call ed civil rights legislation maintain that the issue before the Senate is merely one of protecting the “right to vote.” They adroitly refer to the pending Dirksen bill as. a “voting rights” bill. The idea is to convey the impression that we Southern Senators are against protecting the “right to vote.” As a matter of fact, the “voting rights” provisions of the pending bill constitute only two of the seven sections of the Dirksen package. One of the two wo&k! require State and local election officials to pre serve voting records for three years and make them available to the U. S. Justice Department for inspection upon demand. We have no voting deprivations to hide in South Caro lina. State Attorney General Dan McLeod says we have had but one complaint in 10 years, and this one was remedied at the State level. Under no circumstances should we be forced to sumbit to outside inter ference and inspection of election records by Washington. The other “voting rights” section sets up the procedure for court ^ap pointed referees to oversee regis tration, voting and vote counting, not only in national elections, but in State and local elections as well. Under the Constitution, the States have primary responsibility for the conducr, and control of elections, particularly of the few remaining vestiges of State sovereignty. It would also open the door to such widespread election frauds as oc curred in the North before a similar Reconstruction law was repealed in 1894 1 Here briefly are the other provis ions of this “voting rights” bill: (l) provides a fine of $10,000 or im prisonment for two years for what a judge might determine to be an attempt to obstruct a de segregation order by talking or writing a letter or edtorial; (2) creates a “federal” crime for fleeing to avoid prosecu tion for bombing of a religious or CREDITORS’ NOTICE All persons having claims against the estate of C. N. Mauney, deceas ed, are hereby notified to file the same, duly verified, with the under signed, and those indebted to said estate will please make payment likewise. ODETTA MAUNEY, Executrix Feb. 26, 1960 3C-M-17 NOTICE Notice is hereby given that a meeting of the stockholders of the Laurens County Broadcasting Com pany will be held on March 21, 1900, at the office of the corporation, Lau- ■ens, S. C., for the purpose of consid ering change of name of the corpora tion. C. W. HOGAN. President 4C-M-17 FINAL SETTLEMENT Take notice that on the 22nd day of March, 1960, I will render a final acount of my acts and doings as Executrix of the estate of Robert E. Wysor, Jr., deceased, in the office of the Judge of Probate of Laurens County, at 10 o’clock a. m. and on the same day will apply for a final discharge from my trust as Executrix. Any person indebted to said estate is notified and required to make payment on or before that date; and all persons having claims against said estate will present them on or before said date .duly proven, or be forever barred. SARAH JAMES WYSOR, Executrix, 112 East Maple Street, Clinton, South Carolina. Feb. 19, 1960 4C-M-17 educational building (State laws al ready cover bombings); (3) indors es the Supreme Court’s iniquitous segregation decision, obligating State and local governments to “take steps toward the elimination of segregation in their public schools" and authorizing "federal” bribes to complying school dis tricts; (4) authorizes reclaiming of “federally" aided schools for use of children of servicemen m areas where public schools are closed to avoid integration; and (5) sets up an FEPC to control employment policies of government contractors and to set the groundwork for doing likewise in private industries not executing government contracts. It is thus easy to see the “voting rights” fraud that the “civil right- ers" are trying to pull on the Ameri can eople and ram through our band of 18 Southern Senators Even the two sections on voting are not necessary, wise, nor in the best interest of preserving the dir vision of powers between the Na tional and State governments. There are already more than ample laws and court decisions to protect the privilege of voting-*-and it is a privilege rather than a right be cause in order to vote one must be qualified, else we would have imbe ciles. lunatics, criminals, illiter- atee, non-residents, etc., determin ing the outcome in some elections. Our Founding Fathers, in their in finite wisdom, realized that quahfi^k cations would have to be establish ed for voting, and they left to the States, in an effort to vet* this re sponsibility as close to the people as possible, the right to set voter qualifications Regardless of what compromise may be advanced in the “civil rights” extended debate—and they will com**—the only complete vic tory I can count for the South, and ultimately the nation, is no hill it all. Toward this end I pledge my ut most efforts. OBEDIENT! SMITH MOTOR COMPANY 229 E. Main St. Laurens, S.
