Where are the trains? How often I have ridden from Sum ter to Columbia on the Coast Line; and from Sumter to Augusta! Where is the train from Char leston to Augusta 0 It was the offshoot of the oldest railroad in South Carolina: it ran from Charleston t Hamburg, this side of the Savannah River Irom Augusta, Georgia. It ran at first from Charleston to Branchville, then later had a train from Branchville to Augusta and the big train from Charleston to Columbia and then on to Cincinnati, the Carolina Special 1 ! Alas, no more! All over the nation the trains are being taken oil. Well, let’s get to something right here at home. We used to have cotton everywhere. Before that we had rice m our state. Now we must watch our step; we must ad just ourselves to changed con ditions. For mills making the switch for part of their out put — and some insist they aren’t — the poorer grades of yarn mean more difficulties in weaving, a broad spectrum of textile products I he long- staple cottons, as tin' a.rig 1 !' varities arc known are less likely to b:\ak on die loom, according to industry special ists. More important to the ulti mate consumer, any fabrics made from shorter-staple cottons arc more apt to tear than textiles made from the longer, premium lengths, says Konald K. Evans, a vice president of Riegel Textile Corp. J. B. Goldberg, a textile industry consultant, noted al so that the ‘results aren’t quite as attractive’ because materials made from shorter fibers lack the smoothness, evenness and luster of long- staple goods. Help, though, is on the way. The Department of Agriculture has slated incen tives for this year’s crop to boost output of the wanted long - staple varieties. Some industry officials predict the tight stipplv situation may he ea-i'd by year-end That shortage began de veloping about two years ago. It was then that Federal farm planners, fretting about the raw cotton carryover that hit a record 17 million hales ol 5(1 n pounds each in Government and private hands nn Aug. 1. 1966, rejig- gered the crop diversion pro- gram to restrict output. The results exceeded ex pectations. Production slump ed in 1966 to 9.5 million hales from 149 million the year before. Last year, with a major assist from the wea ther and the boll weevil, out put slumped still further to a scant 7.6 billion bales, the lowest since 1895. For both years, the U. S. was using and exporting more cotton than it produced. As a result, that ‘worrisome’ carryover shrank from the Au gust 1966 record of 17 million hales to 12 2 million hales in August 1967. By next August, according to Government forecast, it will be cut in half to about 6.7 million bales, less than U. S. mills consume in nine months’ time. The shriveling of the sur plus has been ever more dra matic at Commodity Credit Corp., the Government’s board-keeper. From an Au gust 1966 high of 12.2 million bales, the supply owned by the agency slimmed to 5.7 million bales last August and only some one million bales by early February. . . ” Pre-Schoolers To Be Immunized On Monday, March 11, 1968 the Clinton Health Center will be open from 9:30 to 11:30 a m. and 1:30 to 4:00 p.mj especially to immunize chil dren who will begin school in the fall, 1968.

S ( . 292M5 StNAYOR STRO HURMOND Reports E PEOPLE THE GOLD ALARM The news has been tilled with [ a'-counts ol the serious deple tion ot our gold reserves. By law, every dollar bill issued by th:* Federal Reserve system ma-t he hacked by 25 cent- in gald Foreign Ranking systems | e ui trade in the dollars th(\\ b.obl loi gold. hu‘ since 1934 r.S. eituens cannot. For the jn-t three years, and more,! many loreign banks have been j r;sistcutl> demanding gold fori Hie dollars they hold. A- long as the international ma irta-v system is in good j shape, gold is not necessary lot w *i.’ld t ra le. except lot the con venier.ee of transfers of inter- 1 national payments In ordinary! limes, the nations demanding go I I would he putting them- j selves at a disadvantage. Dot- i la is en be invested, and bring ^ in a return; whereas gold can not he invested, and costs i monev to transfer and store. SPEC ELATION I’ll" explanation of the dc- j m md foi gold is speculation— | hut not speculation of the ordi- ; nary kind. These nations are | laying a grim wager. They are betting that the United States I will mismanage its economic : affairs, bringing about the ulti- 1 mate decline of the dollar. Clearly, if they win, we lose These speculators Hncl much to encourage them In their deadly game. The United States is headed for trouble, with few of those responsible for our economic health paying atten tlon to our course. The Ad ministration’s request to re move the gold cover is a ease In point. Removing the gold cover is only a short-term answer to a pressing problem. By law, the Fcdkra) Reserve must maintain a 2fyv^ercent gold reserve. We have always had enough gold on hand so that this restriction never came into effect The margin of free gold available to meet foreign demand is to day only $1.3 billion—but even half of that will be used up by domestic needs and cur rency expansion. At the current rate of demand, this narrow margin could be used up in a few months. THE DILEMMA Those who have argued for the removal of the gold cover have said that we are on the horns of an uncomfortable di lemma. If we were to [lend gold payments, 11k v a world-wide monetary <- would ensue. (hi the other hat the machinery ol the Fodt i Reserve Act provides b,r ,i tinning payments to in et na eign demands, even below lb gold covei minimum, hut w an emergency tax upon lb Federal Reserve system. Th effect of the emergency el .u would ho to raise the diseoui i ate tor loans, and dopi o- t!, domes t ic economy. Removal of the gold co\» also means the removal i emergency mechanism. Like sick patient anesthetized again- pain, vve will not be aware < the true state of our econom; Unless stringent measures ar taker to reverse the outflow « gold, removal of the gold cov< is a dangerous action. rhree years ago, Congre removed the requirement f< a gold cover on Federal Ha serve deposits, wit It ut takin steps to cure the gold demani Three years and $5 billion d" lars in gold Inlet, vve are om more faced w ith the - ai issue. 1963 ACTION Partial removal ot the gn! cover in 1965 did not enrour;.) foreign nations to stop e di 'i in their dollars Instead, tl 1965 action was eorrcetly i terpreted as a sign of wi . Ime and some nations, partleitla, I France, moved in lor the kb The repetition of the -. policy in 1968 can only be n terpreted abroad as a sign . fiscal irresponsibility. It wi whet their appetite Our money supply today i'Ui ststs not only of currency an coins, but also of deposits in tl familiar cheeking accounts ; banks. Currency amounts h only 19 percent of the moor supply. The gold cover is mil 25 percent of the currency Is obvious that gold functim In a more complex manner Ilia many people realize. The most important funetic of the gold cove; is to sen as a Congressional statemet of policy on the soundness ( our fiscal affairs. It serves ; an automatic warning that tl economy is being mism mu c To remove the alarm when t! ringing gets too loud is n. the safest policy. 3&M-rtA*v^Y I < >SS\l DM) + fly I ( (, nr ,l 0n 10 ^8 ^ 1 S ; b £ u ii r>N £ tv a* BP * i ; I ^ n , Synod Meeting Opens Friday On PC Camp us ! v ’"i .md ehurrii mi 11mu i Im Sv nod- oi Sou’ u i uiii!
