A South Carolinian
By Brent Breedin
GOLDWATEB WORRIES
THURMOND
Senator Strom Thurmond and
other strongly conservative
members of the South Carolina
Congressional delegation are eye
ing Barry Goldwater’s announ
ced candidacy for the Republican
Presidential nomination with
mixed emotions.
In the case of Thurmond, his
heart may go out to his Senate
colleague and co-leader of the
nation’s conservative forces, but
his political intuition warns him
that a Goldwater nomination in
’64 could lead to a Thurmond
disaster in ’66. ,
A November defeat for Gold-
water in South Carolina in spite
of Thurmond’s open or quiet
backing would set the stage for
Governor Donald Russell to chal
lenge and unseat the Senator in
1966.
Prior to President John Ken
nedy’s death, a Goldwater nomi
nation appeared hopeful to South
Carolina Republicans and con-
servaUves. It was considered
likely that Goldwater could de
feat Kennedy in the state, there
by strengthening Thurmond’s
position among the voters.
JOHNSON LOOKS
UNBEATABLE
Today, there is no such likeli
hood that even a Goldwater
Thurmond coalition can over
come Southerner Lyndon John
son . with his combined support
of the state Democratic Party,
i Negro leaders, and organized
labor.
Goldwater is certain to look
good to the conservative South
Carolinian with deep-rooted prin
ciples, but President Johnson
looks equally good to the rank-
and-file state voters not quite so
ings Goldwater’s announcement
that- he will actively seek* the
Republican Presidential nomina
tion in July.
POLITICS, PRINCIPLES,
HERITAGE
Politics and principles and
heritage are interwoven through
this real life drama. Politically
Strom Thurmond has never
openly assisted the Republican
Party. On the other hand, he
has done little to assist the exist
ing leadership of the Democratic
Party. For all practical purpos
es, Thurmond is an independent
politician who wears the Demo
cratic label while finding him
self more often than not in
sympathy with the Republicans.
This is not an unusual situa
tion among South Carolina’s
present representatives to Con
gress, Senator Olin Johnson and
Representative Robert Hemphill
excluded However, Thurmond
has been particularly vocal in
opposing Democratic Party plat
forms and in assuming a large
portiori of the national conserva
tive leadership — generally re
served to Republican Barry
Goldwater and his followers.
UNWILLING TO COMPROMISE
Thurmond and Goldwater have
been called “opportunists” by
many of their enemies, but the
fact remains that their support
has come largely from people
who consider them men of strong
principles, men unwilling to
compormise their beliefs for the
sake of personal gain.
This refusal to compromise,
particularly in the area of na
tional party platforms, has been
a thorn in the side of professional
party chiefs. As a result, the
Goldwater support nationally and
the Thurmond support in South
Carolina is built largely on a
pose a friendly Democrat such a^
President Johnson appears to be..
Thurmond, who supported
Johnson for the Democratic Pres
identialnomination—in—1960,
would like to give him full sup
port in 1964. He is hoping that
coming events will provide the
conservative element of the party
with a strong role within a John
son-run administration. Such an
occurrence might take place but
is highly improbable.
More likely. President Johnson
will compromise Thurmond-Gold-
water principles to such a degree
that Thurmond will find himself
unable in good conscience to sup
port the President over Goldwa
ter.
For this reason, the South Car
olina Senator must be secretly
hoping that he will not be called
upon to make such a choice later
this year.

ciples.
Unquestionably Johnson is
more appealing to a vast major
ity of South Carolina’s voters
(including Strom Thurmond)
than any of the other avowed or
rumored Republican Presidential
hopefuls.
It’s this latter fact, this feel
ing that he can actively support
Johnson in 1964 over the liberal
or middle-of-the-road RepublF
cans, that is giving' Thurmond
cause to ponder with mixed feel-
When this group is not inspir
ed, candidates dependent on their
support will fall before organiza
tions. Three such organizations
presently opposed to Strom Thur
mond while favoring Donald
Russell are the state ancl nation
al Democratic Party, organized
labor, and varied Negro groups.
HOPING TO AVOID CHOICE
South Carolina’s
identification with the Democrat
ic Party, makes it difficult to op-

Birds bring life and beauty to
our gardens.
They are ornamental, animat
ed and vocal in addition to giv
ing great service in ridding our
gardens of harmful insects. ,
Birds may be divided into five
classifications.
First, the resident birds which
live all year around in Clinton.
Among these may be seen the
Carolina wren — our state bird;
jaybird, dove, song sparrow, field
sparrow, -flicker, mocking bird
and Toehee.
Second, birds that live here
only in the summer which total
about thirty-five species and in
clude the house wren, wood
thrush, brown thrasher, summer
red bird, cardinal, indoor bunt
ing. grosbeak, grass sparrow,
etc. The robin comes in between
these two classifications because
he stays until the extreme cold
days drive him away. Then he
comes back in the spring. Third,
the winter residents who come
from the cold zones, such as the
junco and purple finch. Fourth
the migratory birds who are only
in transit covering territories as
great as from South America to
Alaska. Such birds are the gros
beak, scarlet tanager, Baltimore
oriole, warbler, red start and the
hooded warbler. Arctic birds
spend 90 per cent of their lives in
travel from one artic region tb
the other once a year. Larger
birds travel by day, and smaller
birds by night for seif preserva
tion., Their maneuvers are by in
stinct.
Fifth, the casuals which are
birds that are AWOL. For
example a snowy owl was shot in
Spartanburg County. The owl
was 2,000 miles from his usual
locale, because of a shortage of
his favorite food, the lemming,
which is a type of rodent that
flourishes in colder sections of
Europe and Siberia. v
Birds excel man in eyesight and
hearing. In most all species
among birds the male is the
most brilliant in color and the
female is drab—another of na
ture’s protective measures. There
are 331 species registered in
South Carolina.
Love our birds. Feed them.
Robins love chopped apple. Pea
nut butter diluted with beef fat
is bird caviar. Cracked corn,
cracked Wheat, sunflower seed,
millet, heitip, chick feed are good
for all birds. A doughnut tied to
your feeder will become a trap
eze. Set out a shallow basin of
water with a drop or two of gly
cerin to prevent freezing, and a
mirror in the bottom to reflect
the sun. Sand or ashes are nec
essary in winter when the ground
is frozen. Birds often die because
of their inability to scratch up
the grit which is their substitute
for teeth.
Yours for more birds.
