OPTOMETRIST Phone 7*4 of registered Guernsey cattle at the Newberry county fair grounds on ,Tue.Miay, March 22 This is another opportunity to strengthen your herd Side time is 12:30 p m Every person in Laurens County should be interested in preserving the cotton acreage to the county. Of ten you hear a farmer say that he cannot make cotton pay. This may be true for some farmers. On the other hand you may say that cotton is the only thing they can make pay The truth is that cotton has had a tremendous influence on almost everyone in the county. A large ma jority of us were raised and edu cated on cotton alone. It is true that times have changed, but when the going really gets rough, then every one wants to plant cotton. Each in dividual farmer must take care of his farm allotment If your allot ment is gone, then it is most prob ably gone forever Cotton acreage can be preserved for 1961 by either planting at least 75 per cent of your allotment or by turning it in to the County ASC Committee, or by turn ing in and planting at least 75 per cent of the acreage * . * Farmers who plan to gpray small grain or pastures with 2-4-D should read labels on the containers. Small grain and pastures must receive one-half pound of acid equivalent per acre. The one pint per acre rec ommendation is for the four pounds per gallon. Thurmond Reports By STROM THURMOND. U. S. Senator from South Carolina EXTENDED DEBATE The Senate’s round-the-clock ses sions of the extended debate over the issue of so-called civil rights has been much in the news lately, as has the move to limit debate on the issue by invoking cloture. I re gret that the Senate, has had to waste so much valuable time over what is simply a gigantic political farce being pushed by both major parties in an effort to win minority bloc votes in large metropolitan areas outside the South. There are many more vital and pressing mat. ters, such as defense, space explora tion. reduction of the national debt —to mention a few—which merit the attention of the Senate. We 18 South ern Senators di# not ask for the marathon sessions, but since they were farced Upon us the only alter native we had were either to sur render to the innumerable obnoxious proposals, or talk. In the Senate, which is known as the greatest deliberative body in the world, a Senator has the right to talk for as long as.he can physical ly or vocally bold the floor in repre senting his State until 16 of his col. leagues file a cloture petition and two-thirds of those present and voting (67 if all 100 are present) vote to invoke cloture (close debate). If the necessary two-thirds major ity vote is obtained, under Senate Rule 22 no Senator is permitted to speak "in all more than one hour" on any motion, amendment, or any type business pertaining to the pending matter. On March 10 an effort was made by the most ardent "civil righters" , to gag our group from further de bate on the "civil rights" proposals. Fortunately, however, they were un able to muster the necessary two- thirds vote, the vote being 53-42 against cloture Among those vot ing with us against cloture were Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson and Minority Leader Everett Dirk- ' sen. This vote illustrates the great re luctance on the part of many mem bers of the Senate to close off de bate by their colleagues because of the basic respect which many Sena tors have for the principle qf free debate, a Senate tradition which has served our country well on numer ous occasions. The mere existence of this tradition—doture has only £een invoked four times—has ac complished two great things for the country: First, by discuoraging ex treme legislation in any direction and preventing violent swings from left to right, it promotes stability in government. Second, by giving mi norities a defensive shield against tyranny, it discourages the arising of tensions and situations which could, and probably would, lead to various and frequent forms of civil strife, perhaps actual civil war. This tradition is further proof of the infinite wisdom which our Founding Fathers demonstrated in setting up cur structure of govern ment. They had only recently freed themselves from tyranny and op pression, and they realized tyranny in any form—whether it be by one man or an unrestrained majority— ;ts ruthless and harsh. That is why they wrote into the Constitution in numerous places the requirment for a twx>-thirds—or three-fourths in some cases—rather than a simple majority vote before some types of proposed actions could become bind ing on all the people. In setting up its rules of proce dure, the Senate followed Thomas Jefferson's advice to protect the minority against the tyranny of the unrestrained majority. For many years there was no limitation at all on debate. In 1917, however, Presi dent Wilson, once an advocate of free debate, had his will thwarted on his armed neutrality ship bill by a vocal minority. .Following this de bate, Rule 22 was approved. Since a determined effort m being made to apply the political w4d|daul> against the South and oar are few in the Senate, we every means aft our eonunpnd to protect the interest of our people— and uhimalely the interest of the na tion. This is why we elected to talk rather than to surrender to tyranny. Our decision is beginning to pay dividends, and I hope we will ulti- j miately prevail.

ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church it the greatest factor on earth for the building of character and good citiienahtp. It is a More house of spiritual values. Without m strong Church, neither democraev nor civilisa tion can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should at tend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (I) For his own sale. (2) For his children's sake. (J) Foe the Mite of his coeamonity and nation. (4) Foe the sake of the Church itself, which Plan to go to church regularly and read Bible daily. Day Moaday Ttnaday Book Chapter Vmm I Coriathiana S 12 l i?

And the idea ought to be extended to our spiritual as well as our physfeal health. For instance, how much are we thinking about the truths our churches teach us? Do we understand God . . . His love for men . . . the sacrifice of Christ for our sins . . . the way of Christian living? And how much are we doing for God and our own souls? Are we worshipping every Sun day . . . rearing our children in the Faith . . . serving the Church and fellowmen according to our talents and physical strength? And how much are we giving for God to use? Do we promise Him a fair proportion of our income . . . do we set it aside regularly as a sum that belongs to God and to those who need our help ... do we have the courage and faith to strengthen our Church by more generous support?
