Tn<* rvcent snow certainly slowed
all activity to a crawl, and in most
cases to a dead, stop It is hard to
realize that so much is in motion
until f(*rcr brings everything to a |
1 tlunk we've all had enough.
Farmers are in bad need of sun
shine and dry weather Then have
plenty to do now before planting.
All small gram must be U>pdressed
with nitrogen and should be sprayed
with 2-4 D.'This must take place be
fore 1 any plowing Furthermore, it's
gardening timer Farmers should
take* advantage of the weather and
get every piece of machinery m
top shape and ready to go. Unless
this is done a lot of valuable time
will be wasted

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.

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.

find these versatile advantages in any
other wagon near Chevy’s size and price!
■ Widest seating, front and rear—up to
a full 3.1 inches wider in front, up to 4.2
inrhesin the rear. ■ Widest cargo nren—the
load platform's a whopping 5H feet wide,
designed for a wider variety of cargo.
■ Widest area between wheel housings—
allows mare roam for bulky loads. ■ Widest
choice of engines and transmissions—24
combinations in all, to give you peak per
formance with any kind of load. ■ Full Coil
springs that ride right loaded or light-
no other wagon near Chevy's price and size
gentles the bumps with coil springs at all four
wheels. ■ More road and ramp clearance
—you ran take full loads over bumps and
grades without scraping bumpers. ■ Truly
practical 9-passengcr model—u«xA roomy

THV CHURCH FOR ALL . . .
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.

It’s a good idea to have a check up every
so often. 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?
