Indeed, he will never seem nearer contact optometrists for appoint- than when we are in the midst of our enemies—if we pray. Read Lube 9:18-25 Now it happened that as He was praying alone the dis ciples were with him. (Luke 9:18. RSV.) The late Henry W. Grady be lieved that we in the South would come into the “fullness of our day” when Southerners had mastered their environment and gained a position of relative in dependence, economically speak ing. Grady constantly lamented the insufficiency of manufacturing. On one occasion, he traced the physical needs of a native Geor gian from the cradle to the grave — enumerating along the way the various articles of “for eign” manufacturing needed to sustain, clothe, and even to bury him. He had ideas about agriculture which were essentially sound, especially for his time. Speaking in 1888 he said: “When every farmer in the South shall eat bread from his own fields and meat from his own pastures and disturbed by no creditors, and enslaved by no debt, shall sit amid his teeming gardens, and orchards, and vine yards and dairies, and barn yards, pitching his crops in his own wisdom and growing them in independence, making cotton his clear surplus, and selling ti in his own time, and in his chos en market, and not at a master’s bidding—getting his pay in cash and not in a receipted mortage that discharges his debt, but does restore his freedom—then shall be breaking the fullness of our day.” Since Grady’s speech 76 years ago, the South has made prog ress in manufacturing, and alt- though no state south of the Mason-Dixon Line would admit it is where it wants to be ulti mately, progress has been made and the trends point to increased industrialization. - In agriculture, however, the trends have been away from the family type, subsistence farm which Grady envisioned. One the other hand, the diversification of enterprises — suggested in his statement—is becoming more of a reality. Some recent South Carolina trends bear this out! In Grady's day there were practically no commercial vine yards in South Carolina. In 1963, the number of bearing vines were was estimated at 900,000 by the Crop Reporting Service. And to further fulfill a prophecy of Grady’s, the Palmetto Grape Marketing Association is manu- facutring its own Juice at a plant in Spartanburg. Like Grady’s Georgia, South Carolina has also become • great peach state whose or chards included 3,900,000 trees last year. Planting of apples and pears is increasing, and prog ress is being made in “manufac turing” these truits in canneries located within or near the state. In dairying. South Carolina is steadily closing the gap in effic iency of production with the old er dairying regions. The income from dairying (at farm level} of 24 million dollars annually could be compared with Grady’s era when few commercial dairies existed. In “barnyards”—which might symbolize growing of beef cattle —South Carolina is making headway in spite of an unfavor able market. The 1968 calf crop ments. Mrs. T. H.

It has been said, with the same lack of truth, that he has no concern for poor people. This massive scare cam paign did not work very well. The “liberals” were talking to themselves. Their tactics were tactics of desperation. The American people are well able to size up the character of a man seeking a party’s presiden tial nomination. One of the handicaps faced by the conservatives is the propa ganda use of the word “mod erate.” This word has, unhapply, found its way into regular prac tice in news reports. The spokes men for “me too” thinking were automatically described a s “moderates,” whereas the ad vocates of a strong new policy of ^national resolution were characterized as “extremists” or “radical rightists.” This is a vicious use of the word “mod erate,” for it is a partisan use designed to serve one political faction. Obviously, if the “me too” group is moderate, then, by the dictionary definition, their opponents must be immod erate. This piece of trickery has been accepted by many readers and viewers of the news, sad to say. The truth is that the “me too” crowd is anything but mnderwte in an accurate sense. Is it genu ine moderation to accept a do- nothing policy about Communist Cuba at our national doorstep? Is one moderate if one allows the union tyranny to disrupt the normal operations of free enter prise? Is moderation to be de fined as acceptance of uncon stitutional force hilix that pro vide for coerced association? The answer to these questions is a resounding “No.” Moderation, if the word is to mitaa anything, must mean total respect for the Constitution, for the right to work, the right to operate one’s business without federal dicta tion, to exercise states rights, to enjoy freedom of association, rad to have the United States conduct its foreign policy di rectly without interference or subordination to the United No tions. By this definition, and it is only one that can be logically Justified, the real moderate to the Republican party is Barry Goldwater. The radicals are those who want to pay no atten tion to the written text of the Constitution, and who want o give it a new interpretation ac cording to their own desirsa. The radicals are those who want business to submit to tight bu reaucratic controls and leave the big decisions to Big Brother to Washington. The radicals are those who urge U.

Huey, heard each Sunday morning at 8 o’clock over station WPCC, observed its second anniversary on July 19. Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Wooten (right) to photo with Mr. Huey, led a song service for the occasion. The weekly service consists ef religious music and a spiritual message everywhere in the world—from Viet Nam to Cuba. The American people have had a big dose of this radicalism over a long period of yean. The radicals are now terribly afraid that they will lose hold of the reins of power in the United States. They are afraid that they soon may be pushed out of Washington, the State Depart ment and the National Labor Re lations Board. They are resort ing to the Big Lie Technique in the hope of clinging to their power over the American people, a power that in its exercise has cost the American people free dom at home rad security abroad.
