South Carolinian In Washington by Brent Breedin Mr. and Mrs. John Johnson in Oglethorpe County to 1838 when Jesse fathered the President’s grandfather, Sam Ealy Johnson in Alabama. Jesse and family reached Tekas in 1846. South Carolina historical groups in the upcountry might be interested in trying to find re cords on John Johnson at the time of the Revolution. He was probably in South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia or Penn sylvania at the time, according to movements of people into Geor gia after the Revolution. WATSON FEELS PULSE Rep. Albert Watson of Colum bia doesn’t use the mails to pro pagandise with, he insists; how ever, he does believe strongly in polling the voters in his district regarding the major issues of the day. Perhaps the tipoff on this be lief are the percentages com piled last year to the final two questions asked voters in his district: (1) Sixty-one per cent indicat ed they were independents as far as party identification is con cerned, (2) Ninety-six per cent said they thought that the question naire idea was a good one. ic Records MARRIAGE LICENSES ISSUED Robert Gregg McBee and Gladys Pearl Gregory of Gaff ney.

The CHRONICLE Stationery Shop JOHNSTON TO HAVE SAY Senator Olin D. Johnston may not get to “bottle up” the badly named “civil rights” bill in spite of his position as ranking mem ber of the Senate Judiciary Com mittee; however, as chairman of the Post Office and Civil Service Committee, he will have the big say in another major bill before Congress this week—federal pay raises. If passed in its present condi tion, this pay bill would enable the President and his key assist ants to control (directly or in directly) 100,000 or more jobs in the salary range of $15,000 to $35,000 annually. That’s real power! WHO WANT’S A CHOICE? It’s interesting the sniping at Barry Goldwater by liberal mem bers of the press who less than a year ago were hoping the Ari zona Senator would get the Re publican Presidential nomination —or so they said. Walter Lippman on national television very smugly called for the Goldwater nomination as a “healthy thing.” stating that his running against a~ very popular 1 J. F. Kennedy would prove once and for all that conservatism is dead. As the Goldwater movement caught on prior to Mr. Kennedy s assassination, Lippman a n d ^ others began to think twice about giving the American people any such choice. This has carried over to the present and can be read into their writings on Pres idential politics almost daily. They now want the old “heads I win, tails you lose” situation. THURMOND IS RIDICULED Is Strom Thurmond holding in compatible offices as both a U. S. Senator and a major general in the Army reserve? Cartoonists and columnists saw fit last week to ridicule and criti cize the South Carolina Senator for holding both jobs though it has been a common practice for years to maintain a strong re serve, drawing on Congressmen, textile workers, doctors, lawyers, farmers, etc. Even Harry Tru man, Richard Nixon, and Lyn don Johnson—while serving as vice presidents—maintained their reserve commissions. We can see citidzing some on Capital Hill who were “given” their commissions through politics; however, to make light of Thurmond’s contributions to the, military in war and peace is more ridiculous than the ridicule they would hope to use effective ly against the Senator. POLLS CONFUSE RIVERS Rep. L. Mendel Rivers of Charleston studies his ratings as a conservative and liberal as conscientiously as any good poli tician, but in the end he has to confess that he’s confused as to the various yardsticks used by ACA, ADA, COPE, Dan Smoot, etc. “It seems to me that I’m usu-> ally being rated on the way I vote when Republican amend ments are offered to Demoer bills. This doesn’t, seem right,” he figpres. “I consider myself a conserva- tive,” Rivers says, “but I’m go ing to vote for programs which I think we need in South Carolina whether some people or groups rate them liberal or conserva tive.” LBJ’S ANCESTORS An Atlanta Journal-Constitu tion Sunday Magazine article on President Lyndon Johnson’s Georgia ancestors was placed in the Congressional Record last week by Senator Herman Tal- madge. President Johnson’s mother ap parently did a fine job in tracing her husband’s ancestors all over Georgia between the years 1795 when Jesse Johnson was born to From menus to mailings We print everything right Cards to catalogs, bills to broadsides . . . what ever your printing needs, you can count on us for quality workmanship, dependable service, reasonable cost.
