SPRING FLOWERS AT PEAK
Tour The National Forest
Winter has left the Carolinas
and one of the most beautiful
seasons of the year, Spring, has
arrived. This is the time of the
year when the pine forest be
comes laced with the blos
soms of the flowering dogwood.
A way to combine sightseen-
ing and a better understanding of
the National Forest has been
suggested by Bob Williams, Dis
trict Ranger for the U. S. For
est Service in Newberry. This
self guided auto tour was plan
ned with a family outing in mind.
Just be sure to check your mile
age before you begin as all mile
age is figured from the start
ing point which is the junction of
1-26 and 72 near Clinton.
From the starting point travel
East on Highway 72 towards
Whitmire 5.2 miles and on the
right will be Tip Top Fire Tow
er used by the U. S. Forest
Service to detect forest fires.
The area around the tower has
both water and toilet facilities
for your use. For the more ad
venturesome, a climb up the fire
tower may be in order.
From the tower and 8.2 miles
from start, turn right on Forest
Development Road No. 366 which
is Garlington Road. Nine miles

from the starting point as you
travel on Garlington Road you
will cross; Seaboard Railroad
near the site of the old Gar
lington Railroad Station. One hun
dred yards ahead in South Fork of
Duncan Creek.
As you drive along Garling
ton Road notice the interpretive
signs on your right. Continue
driving and at the 11.2 mark of
the tour is Stomp Springs Road,
No. 276. Stomp Springs is off to
your right about 1/4 mile. Turn
left on 276 from Garlington Road
to continue the tour.
One mile from the turn you
will cross Ned Wesson Branch.
The end of Stomp Springs Road
comes at the 14,4 mile mark of
the tour. Directly in front of you
will be Forest Development Road
356, the next road to be used on
your tour. Just to the right is
the entrance to Brick House Hunt
Camp. If you desire, the Hunt
Camp has water, toilet and pic
nic facilities for your use. Dog
wood blooms are very beautiful
on the road to the Hunt Camp at
this time of year. For those who-
enjoy nature walks, a one-mile
walk to the north along a For
est Service-constructed Bun
combe Trail is suggested. The
Trail, easily distinguished by
white-marked trees, will lead the
hikers to Cromer RoadNo. 356
where they can be picked up.
Continuing on the auto tour
from the end of Stomp Springs
Road 276-S travel along Cromer
Road No. 356. Two-tenths of
a mile on Cromer Road the Bun
combe Trail meets the road on
the right from the Brick House
Hunt Camp and this is the place
where you may pick up any hikers
walking from the hunt camp area.
As you travel along Cromer Road
notice the white-marked trees
designating the Buncombe Trail.
The entire trail is 30 miles long.
Cromer Road intersects State
Road 36-32 at 17.8 miles from
the starting point. Turn right on
State Road 36-32 to continue your
tour. Seven-tenths of a mile down
the road turn right on Bonds
Road No. 361. You will pass over
two creeks on this road; a small
branch and Headleys Creek. Stay
on the road to the left at this
point until you come to State
Road 36-63 where you turn left.
You will once again cross two
creeks - Indian Creek and Long
Branch, as you travel along. The
Carolina Natural Gas Company
Pipeline is seen 23.7 miles a-
long the tour. Notice the seeded
areas on the pipeline used to
control erosion and to provide
food for wildlife. Just beyond
the pipeline and to your left is
a hollow which has some beau
tiful flowering dogwoods in it.
Turn right on State Road 36-
32 at the 24.6 mile mark of the
tour. Travel on State Road 36-
32 until you reach Jalapa and
Highway 76 where the tour ends.

Oppose Winthrop
Co-Ed Legislation
BY JIMMY BOYLSTON
Rep. Paul Culbertson joined
Rep. David Taylor last week in
opposing a House bill which
would make winthrop College a
coeducational institution.
“I am in favor of leaving the
status of Winthrop as it is,” said
Culbertson.
Under consideration in the
House and the Senate was the re
commendation of a special study
committee that degrees be a-
warded to men at Winthrop pro
vided they live offthe campus and
are full-time residents of the
state.
The House adopted late last
week a compromise version of
the bill which would allow males
to attend Winthrop through 1973.

SENATOR STROM
1 THURMOND
jH REPORTS TO THE
PEOPLE
THE CARSWELL NOMINATION
The defeat of Judge G. Har-
rold Carswell is another set
back in President Nixon’s pro
gram for the reform of the
Supreme Court. In rejecting
Judge Carswell, the so-called
liberal element in the Senate is
in reaction against the trend of
the times. The crying need of
the present generation is to
avert the destructive role which
the Supreme Court has taken in
recent years.
The essence of justice lies in
the unvarying interpretation of
laws according to the intentions
of the framers. Without such a
strict construction, the law-
abiding citizen is left with con
fusion. He is in the position of
a game player, who discovers
that the rules have been changed
in the middle of the game.
EROSION OF LAW
For four decades, the Supreme
Court has been busy changing
the rules, without regard to
precedent or sound judicial con
struction. One Supreme Court
Justice after another vied to
demonstrate that he could scale
the heights of nonsense in writ
ing opinions that had little re
lation to legal scholarship.
The scaling of such vain peaks
inevitably met with lavish praise
from the self-appointed chorus
of opinion-makers in the news
media. In order to be called “bril
liant”, a Supreme Court Justice
had only to demonstrate agility
in achieving a pre-conceived re
sult with the smallest scrap of
law.
Meanwhile, we have been reap
ing the bitter harvest of the
erosion of law. Respect for the
foundations of order has broken
down. When the Supreme Court
has little regard for the basic
stability of Constitutional in
terpretation, it is little wonder
that political radicals and com
mon criminals turn to anarchy.
NIXON’S COURT REFORM
For these reasons, President
Nixon has made the reconstruc
tion of the Supreme Court one
of the prime aims of his Ad
ministration. President Nixon
has sent the names of three dis
tinguished conservative judges
in succession to the Senate. No
President in modern history has
chosen better men.
Yet it is now clear, after the
defeat of two nominations, that
the opponents of reform are
bitterly set against reversing
the course of the High Court.
Judge Carswell, like Judge
Haynsworth before him, is a
sound thinker, a competent
lawyer, and an objective Judge.
The charges raised against him
were trivial gestures designed
to conceal the critics’ basic
antipathy toward court reform.
His opponents were able to as
semble sizeable lists of lawyers
and professors against him; but
upon examination these liste
were discovered to contain
mainly names of people who
never voted for Richard Nixon
and never would.
The critics also pointed out
that many of Judge Carswell’s
opinions have been reversed in
higher courts. Such criticism
covered up a fear that Judge
Carswell, if confirmed for the
High Court, would vote to re
verse the opinions of so-called
liberal judges brought before
him. Judge Carswell was nomi
nated precisely because the
President was seeking a Judge
whose views ran contrary to the
wave of havoc that has been
coursing through our judicial
system.
HOUR IS LATE
We must assume, then, that it
is not the Judge’s character or
ability that was really called
into question. The liberal faction
in the Senate has served notice
that it will seek to destroy any
man, regardless of qualifications,
who measures up to the stand
ards needed to rebuild the Court.
It must be remembered that
only one-third of the Senate
faces the voters during our na
tional elections. The Senate is
thus slower to reflect the mood
of the country. Many of those
Senators who voted against
Court reform will feel the re
sentment of the people next
November. It is noteworthy that
69 percent of the Republican
Senators voted for Judge Cars
well. as against only 31 percent
of the Democrats.
The forces arrayed against
the Carswell nomination demon
strate the lateness of the hour
for constructive change. But the
preservation of our Constitu
tional system demands that
President Nixon again nominate
a sound conservative.
Handicapped workers prove
that ability counts. Department of
Labor findings show that they
compare favorably with able-
bodied co-workers in production,
efficiency, safety, and attend
ance. Their turnover rate in Jobs
is also much lower than that of
able-bodied workers.
