Rcwpectfully, 44 CLARKSON RHAME FOR ALDERMAN—WARD FOUR To The Voters of Ward Four: I announce myself a candidate to The present controversial measure whereby the Senate seeks to make the so-called Pair Employment Com mission (FEPC) a permanent agency of the federal government has arous ed .nation-wide interest and discus sion. < Expressed briefly, this agency is to be set up {o'see that the negro and the white man work side by side in the factories and offices of the na tion. Theoretically it provides that no worker (hall be discriminated against because'"of race, creed or color. Here in Mme the measure has its supporters, ^t they are few in com parison with the number of citizens who are heart and soul with the va liant fighting senators from the southern statgs who are determined that the measure shall not become a permanent affair. The contrdversy was started by the (northern element in the Senate when Senator Chaves of ^ew Mexico brougHt his resolution Kfore the chamber. This Immediately precipi tated a filibuster by the gentlemen from the southern states who an nounced that they would die in their tracks before the measure was per mitted to pass the Senate. The war between the north and the south, now being waged in the sen- ate chamber has resulted in many columns being written in the press and in much comment hy radio com mentators. But some of the real cream of the exchange of repartee and sarcasm between the belligerent senators is not given to the avid readers and listeners. But it appears in the Congressional Record. For instance, this is what happen ed when Senftor Olin D. Johnston of South Caroliim started to spar with Senator Chaves. Johnston had gained the floor when t^avez yielded for a question. I^ereupon Johnston inquired “How many persons does the Sena tor (Chavez) employ in his office? Chavez replied that he employed the full limit Johnston then inquired: “Does the Senator employ colored help in his office?” Senator (Thavez: “I do not happen to have any colored employees." Senator Johnston: “Does not the Senator believe that if he empIo)(ed colored help it would result in the creation of trouble in his office?" Senator Chaves: “1 do not know whether it would or not. However, 1 may say that I employ Mexicans, Italians, Greeks, and also Jews." Senator Johnston: ‘Tf employers the office of Alderman, subject to the rules of the Democratic Primary. After serving in Council for the past eight (S) years. I am aware of the problems that will arise from the post war problems. With seven teen years experience with my own business in the city of Camden, I know I am qualified to ask you for your support. Your support .will he highly appreciated. 41—c Respectfully, C. V.

Senator Qeorpe ia Heard There is also mneh leterest the Record has to quote regarding Senator Waltec F. George of Georgia, one of the,ablest men in the Upper House, as saying; “My party”, said George, “can take whatever course it will but there are men on ttis side of the Senate who «‘e free 'men. They will not follow the party will. I wish to serve -that notice right now. If the President of the United States has nothing more impm-tant to submit to the American people, in a time of industrial crisis, when the very life of the nation is at stake, then I must say to the FTes- ident of the United States that I fhall follow the beet coarse my Judgement leads me to follow; “If that la all that Harry Truman has to offer. God help the Democratic party in 1946 and 1948. ^ At a time when the'^ very life of the nation is at stake we are called upon to conqidw ( bill to comu^ people in the field of hniban relatlw ships to do what their Judgment (tf- rects them not to do. “We are called upon to go. ‘Nazi’. We are called upon to go tolltarian." PMAl^tBRUARYLIM Outlook As ‘ Indicated For Crops And livestock Convejrance Records Conveyance records filed this week at the office of clerk of court here are as follows: Annie A.>Rhame to Bennie F.

Stewart to Harry D. Kirkovef; C. -L Shealy to James C. Stewart, 1.42 acres; and Elisabeth-J. Savagp to James C. StewarL 8.18 acres. Below is given some statistical in formation which indicates possible Mend of prloes for certain crops and. iiveatock aa given the Camden Grammar School auditorium on Wed nesday, Jsnoary 23rd. 1946. It is an- derstood, of course, that unforseen factors could develop which would change present outlook. Cotton—Ontlook fairly good for next three years dne to government gnarantees. The present carry-over is about 11,600,000 bales, domestic consumption was about 8,000,000 bales in 1945 and should be equally as great or ..greater in 1946. 'Foreign countries need and want cotton and export shonid be np in 1946. The for eign carry-over of cotton at present is about 14,000,000 bales and the pres ent world price is approximately 15 cents per pound. With government guarantees for tbe next two or tbiwe years, the American cotton outlook is favorable. The guaranty of 921-2 per cent of parity makes a guaran teed price of a^ut 20 cents per pound. With the foreign carry-over and the world price at about-15 crats, it can be seen, however, that Amerl- cotton faces much competition on a world market as a crop in the years to come. 1 Tql>acc.o—Production of flue-cured tobaoco ia expected to total 1,174 mil lion, pounds in 1945, the largest crop ever produced. The expected Increase in the 1945 crop is more than enough to offset the reduction in stocks; con'- sequently,. the estimated supply is slightly above that of a year ago. I.<ast year, disappearanoe exceeded one billion pounds for the first time in history. The increase in disappear ance over 1943-44 la attributed to in creases in domestic consumption and exports. Disappearance daring 1945-46 season is expected to be slightly leM than tbe 1945 production. The average farm price is expected to be about the same for the 1945 crop as for the J944''crop. Outlook for flue-cured dur- Ing the next two or three years is ex^ deptionally favorable, in view of the prMpective continued high rate of domestic consumption and the low level of stocks in this country and in Importing countries. In relation . to preeent and proaphettve legilreBieBM stocks are tbe lowest in anany yean, fPeanuts—During the war yeart fanners responded to govenunent re quest for increued acreage for oil purposes. There will be very little of the 1946 crop processed tar oil. Ho man consumption will largely he de pended upon aa an outlet. PriceAiWill drop. However, a guaranty h made at 90 percmit of parity present this will amount to approx imately $152.00 PM* ton for No. 1 grade peanut#. Where labor is avail able, peanuts will be a good crop in 1946. Beef Cattle—Unit returns from sales of good grade slaughter steers during the first ten months of 1945, including subsidy payments to cattle producers beginning May, 1945, wme^ slightly higher than a year earlier. Prices of the better grade of slaugh ter cattle probably will continue near 1945 levels in the first half of 1946, reflecting a high level of consumer purchasing iwwer and a strong de mand for the better grades of beef. However, if subsidy payments to cat tle slaughterers <authorlsed to mid- 1946) are withdrawn, prices of the better grades of cattle are likely to average lower in the second half of the 1946 year than in the second half of 1945. Poultry—Prices received by fartn- ers in 1946 for poultry products are expected to decline from the near- record levels achieved in 1945, be cause of increased meat supplies, smaller non-civilian takings of poul try products, and reduced consumer purchasing power. Price declines probably will be material for eggs, but moderate for chickens and turkeys. W.
