A Timely Warning
Representative L. Mendel Rivers of the
first Souflh Carolina congressional district,
who dpes not trim his saij to every po
litical wind, has issued ar-very solemn
warning to the people of South Carolina
that they had better^e /m their guard
when the Democratic clubs of the state
meet this week-end lest the Truman forces
capture them.
The first district Congressman called on
all loyal defenders of States Rights to
block an attempt which he says is an un
dercover attempt to 'seize control of the
state Democratic party. He called those
who would seize control of party “Tru-
mancrats'’—and warned regular party
leaders that they were in for a Pearl Har
bor if they didn’t work actively against
pro-Truman men in South Carolina.
"If you stay at home on the 25th you
W/ll never again have the right to com-
plnin about the actions of the national
Democratic party or the administration,"
said Mr, Rivers. "The national committee
has plenty of money to spend and is spend
ing it in South Carolina in the hope that
our leader* will be caught asleep on March
25 so that the Trumancrats can stage a
political Pearl Harbor against those who
had the courage two years ago to stand
up for States Rights."
Mr. Rivers pointed out/that if the pro-
Truman men capture the offices in club
meetings t&yy, could win the county con
vention offices and tfieh fake pyerlbe
state convention—from the regular anti-
Truman State party. • <;
The warning sounded by Congressman
Rivers should be heeded „all over South
Carolina. The Trumancrats are busy as
bees and if the States Righters fall asleep
this week-end they may lose control of the
party machinery.
Kershaw county was one of the bul
warks of the States Righters two years ago
and it is to be hoped that every States
Rightei in the county will turn out for his
club meeting this week and see that States
ighters are elected delegates to the coun
ty convention and on thr county executive
committee. ^ ^ \

Reports from Washington.indicste that
Federal aid to education is dead at this
seAiion of Congress. ^ • /
It’s just as well that it is because there
is ifo\measure before the Congress fraught
with kore danger to the country th^n that
As a final effort to save the measure
President Truman assured the House com
mittee that he would not interfere with
State control of funds so appropriated.
The Hartsville Messenger very correctly
says that this very stetement by the Wiuffga
dent "is an admission that interference by
any administration is a clear possibility."
"It is an admission/’ says The Messeng
er,/‘that-once federal aid is given, federal
control can easily follow. „ Such matters
should not be left to the ‘whims’ of any
administrator or any particular political
p?.rty. It is too obviously a tool for po
litical manipulations. ’ : A _
"Again the very fact that one Congress
can appropriate funds for federal aid
without ‘strings’ does not bind a succeed
ing Congress. Any later Congress could
abolish any existing aid or could continue
<it with federal restrictions.
"The President’s statement clarifies the
isiue. Past denials of potential interfer
ence by proponents of the bill are rendered
valueless. Wherdver Federal disburse
ments have been made, federal control has
followed.
"It is also to be remembered that the
menace of a centralized ‘welfare state’ is
economically unsound. Federal adminis
trative costs of collection, handling, dis
bursements and the like take out too much.
The proportionate amount levies and col
lected at the local level will return more
on the dollar than after its federal shrink
age." * /
Our Hartsville contemporary has stated
the case iwell. The Camden Chronicle has
fought federal aid to schools from the
very beginning because it has felt that
inevitably it would lead to federal control.
It is good to note that there is a very
general awakening now as to the dangers
along that line.

Billy Fallaw Talks
On Traffic Safety
The emphasis was on traffic
safety at the regular meeting of
the Camden Civitans held Monday
night at Emerson’s Drive-In. Guest
speaker of the evening was Sgt.
Billy Fallow from the Safety Edu
cation division of the State High
way Department.
Sgt Fallow, introduced by C.
L. ‘ ? Bud” Boley, spoke to the
group on the Highway Depart
ment’s current safety program in
the state, and suggested precau
tions and steps that might be
taken to make the highways safer.

For Safer Driving
Says an editorial in Grit magazine:
‘‘Teen-agers have established a rec
ord for being the most dangerous
drivers on the highways.
"Inexperience and the normal reck- __
lessness of youth are undoubtedly two
of the basic reasons for this lament
able record. j-
"Youthful drivers need some dis
cipline. They need it from their
parents and in the form of law* and —
regulations to forbid driving privi
leges to youths unable properly to
qualify for them. The hot-rodders
who endanger life and limb should
x be chased off the roads and kept off
until they learn to respect the rights
and satety of others.
"Hot-rodders are fortunately a
minor phase of the menace. Inex
perience. rather than callous .reck
lessness, is the chief factor to be met.
nd studies prove it is possible to do
High school courses in driver edu-
ation and training have in some in-
nces cut teen-age accident tolls in
If. Such instruction, plus the com-
oined efforts of parents and highway
police to curb irresponsibility on the
part of youthful drivers, should go a
long way toward solving this prob
lem." • .
There’g a * tor y around in Cam-
don to the effect that some local teen
agers came back fTom a trip the other
night during which they had climbed to
a speed of 100 miles per hour. Nobody
can drive safely at that speed. Any one
who does so is endangering the lives not
only of every one in that car but of every
one else on the highway.
Parents who let their children have
their cars should take some steps to see
that they drive within the bounds of rea-

When it became known that Paul Robe
son, tke hegrij 'Cb^hiiani^t kBg^cr, waa
scheduled to appear on Mrs. FrahUhi D.
Roosevelt’s television program last Sun*
night tha National Broadcasting Com
pany was flooded with protests from every
section. The protests were so vehement
that son Elliott Roosevelt and Marvin
Jones, co-producers of the show, decided
to eliminate Robeson from the program.
Within 24 hours after the announcement
that Robeson would appear on the pro
gram, the National Broadcasting Company 4
said that it was swamped with more than
200 telephone calls protesting the progr&ip.
The negro communist was due to take
part in a discussion of **The Position of
the Negro in American Political Life."
Robeson has been a consistent critic of
American democracy and loud in his praise
of Russia. %
The Roosevelts are beginning to learn
now that the people will just stand for
so much.

There Stands Mississippi
There is no weakening on the part of
tthe people of Mississippi in their fight for
States Rights.
- The lower house of the Mississippi Gen
eral Assembly by a vote of 118 to 1 has
passed a bill which would bar all Truman-
ites or Trumancrats, whichever you prefer
to call them, from using the Democratic
party name in that state.
States Rights Democrats insist that they
are the legal Democratic party in Missis
sippi.
South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana
and Alabama were the four states that
stood* Fhoulder to shoulder in the fight for
States Rights two years ago and we be
lieve this year will find them again fight
ing together.
Certainly there can be no doubt as to
where Mississippi stands.
Not Room For Both

The American Legion has a fighting
national 'commander in Geerge N. Craig.
He isn’t afraid to take a bold stand on
vital issues and he isn’t afraid to fight
the radicals in this country.
In Columbia last Tuesday he told the
South Carolina Department of the Legion
at its Spring rally:
"I say to you now there isn’t room in
the United States for the Communist
party and the American Legion and the
