Hollings Warns Of 'Riot' By Voters Other survivors include a sis ter, Rosanne Baker of the home; two brothers, Chevis Eugene and Kenny Ray Baker of the home; grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. V. W. Taylor of Kinards and Mr. and Mrs. Weldon C. Baker Sr. of Whitmire; and great-grand mother, Mrs. Mary Bledsoe of Kinards, Mrs. Margaret Taylor of Clinton and Mrs. Lillian Brock of Columbia. “There’s going to be a riot of sorts on Nov. 5 in the United States. That’s when the voters are going to go to the polls and turn out all these politicians,who have not been doing their jobs,” U.S. Sen Ernest F. Hollings told the annual meeting of the Lau rens County civic clubs last Thursday night. Hollings said, “We have too many politicians who refuse to accept the responsibility of sup porting law enforcement. They have been bowing to the dissen ters, the hippies, the draft dod gers. . .They’ve got to realize that in this country you can think as you please and say what you please but you can not do as you please.” The junior senator from South Carolina said, “The issue on Nov. 5 on the local level is this: who can best represent South Carolina in the U. S. Senate for the next six years. I am run ning on my own platform and that platform is based on the ‘for gotten man’, the ‘silentmajority’ and that’s the group I want to represent.” Hollings said the “forgotten man” is the man who “supports his wife and family, pays his taxes, works six days a week and when he gets his two-week vacation, he shouldn’t have to call his senator to ask if it’s safe to visit Washington.” REAL ISSUE He said, “The real issue in South Carolina is in the textile import quota legislation, the pro tection of jobs. When you con sider that seven out of 10 in dustrial workers in the state are involved in either textiles or textile-related industries, you’re talking about the economic heart of our state.” He urged legisla tive pressure to restrict foreign textile imports “threatening our domestic textile industry.” Hollings said Sen. Richard Russell (D-Ga.) introduced a most significant amendment re cently concerning the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Hollings said HEW “has given us some misgivings.” He said that some people in Washington said that the HEW initials could stand for “Help Elect Wallace.” He said Russell’s amendment would spread HEW agents over the country instead of concen trating them in the South. He said, “There are inequi ties all over the country but there are no HEW agents anywhere but in the South.” However, on the day that Holl ings spoke, the House of Repre sentatives voted against Rus sell’s amendment. Hollings said, “You will not find the word ‘education’ any where in the Constitution. It is a state matter so long as we don’t deny anyone the opportunity of the best possible education. However, it should not be placed on a socail manipulation basis.” CHAIN LINK FENCE PRICED RIGHT TO SAVE YOU MONEY ALL HEIGHTS — QUALITY MATERIAL CALL FOR YOUR FREE ESTIMATE — BANK FINANCING — DIXIE FENCE, Inc RESIDENTIAL or COMMERCIAL BOX 434 PHONE 833-2M8 LAW ENFORCEMENT The senaLr also lashed out at “decisions which have shackled our police officers.” Hesaid“le- gal technicalities have upset law enforcement all over the coun try.” Speaking of his term as gover nor of South Carolina, he said he was faced with “sit-ins, lie- downs, wade-ins” but he felt his duty was basic---" protect life and property.” He said, “In Orangeburg, we had 831 young people who were going to take over the town. There were five armed merchants who said they were going to blast the first person who tried to break into their stores. “We put up a police line and the line was broken and we had to use the water hose. Then came the TV cameras and ttiat’s all they saw---the water hose. They didn’t show what led up to the sit uation. And there were cries of ‘police brutality’ but we protect- Local Farmers Top $8 Million Despite the yearly ups and downs connected with agricul ture, farming continues to tie big business in Laurens County. Most local farmers held their own last year and a numtier of them made out better than tie- fore, even though income in many parts of the country fell considerably behind 1966. In the face of setbacks in the form of lower prices for crops in general and higher costs for the things that had to lie bought, local farms stood up well in com parison. The findings are based upon a national survey made by the Stan dard Rate and Data Service and upon reports issued by the De partment of Agriculture and others. The figures for Laurens Coun ty show that local farmers had a gross income in the past year of $8,365,000, a gain over the previous year’s $7,311,000.

An estimated 43 percent of the income from farm marketings came from the sale of crops and 57 percent from sales of live stock, poultry and dairy pro ducts. For the farm population of Lau rens County, the gross receipts were at the rate of $1,673 per person. This topped the average found in the local area in 1966, $1,380 per person. While the average American farmer has been able to boost TELEPHONE M3-0541 OFFICE SUPPLIES THE CHRONICLE his production through more in tensive fertilization and the in creased use of tractors and other mechanized equipment, he has not succeeded in turning this gain into added net income. The cost-price squeeze has t>een against him. Inflation has driven up the cost of virtually everything he has to buy, but ttie prices he obtains for his pro ducts have not been keeping pace. In the past year, as a matter of fact, with some exceptions for livestock, there has been a gen eral decline in that direction. The year’s huge crop production forced prices lower than before.
