McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, MAY 23, 1946 ■cCORMICK MESSENGER I VaMIshed Every ThnrMay ibllshed June f. 1M1 OND J. MeCRACKEN, Editor and Owner at the Post Offlee at Me* OarmSck, S. CL, as nuOl Matter of second clam. $1.00 .75 i PRESCRIPTION One Tear PM Months _ Three Months \StX ^ Inch JSprmon , t REV. ROBERT H. HARPER f f finding a :\**o S"n*e of allies. Lesson for May 26: Ijikm 12:19, 20: lM:2t-30: 19:1-10. . Memory Selectionf Ronurr-s 14:1 7 . In the lesson are found c*,v_ «ral types of men, each of which Koed for self alone. There :*3 first among them the foclish fiumer who prepared to pull ’down his old barns and build ; greater that he might have room { •■to store all his wondrous crop, hot first that he might indulge ? himself to the limit. { Second is the rich man who uses all his wealth for himself, never realizing that a heavy ob ligation goes with the possession wealth. Worse than a moth- j eaten garment is a moth-eaten jiteart — a heart devoured by I moths of greed. Because he jdoes not seek first the kingdom |effGod, it is hard for a rich man :t» enter the kingdom. And the | Master indicates that condemna- 'tion should also fall upon the man who, like Peter, shows a bargaining spirit in entering Christ’s service—the man fails not to bring to atten- that he has left all to fol low Jesus. Zacchaeus, the publican, had evidently been guilty of extor- 'tmn as he collected the taxes imposed by Rome in the Jericho district, for he said he would re store fourfold anything he had taken from any man by “false accusation.” In contrast with these types think of the philosophy of Jesus concerning materinl things, as he bids men seek first the kingdom of God and prom ises that they shall lose no tiling in so doing—will receive mam- jfold more in world to come. — , ■ STREET TAX DUE MAY 1ST J. Strom Thurmond Announces Candidacy For Governor Of South Carolina After having talked with people from every section of the State, I have decided to offer for the Democratic nomination as Gover nor in the forthcoming primary- I feel that my twenty-three years of public service as a school teacher, county superintendent oi education, state senator, circuit judge and soldier qualify me for the varied responsibilities of this office. We need a change in South Carolina, a big change. The peo ple are demanding it. Under our system of government, it is vital that the j? vernor furnish effect ive leadership and not allow the functions of that office to be u- surped or controlled by others. As governor, I shall see that the office is conducted on the high plane on which it should stand. It would be too much in one statement to attempt to discuss all of the fundamental issues All male persons between the which the State must face, but I would like to mention a few of the most outstanding. I wish to express myself first of all on the liquor question. The people of South Carolina should decide this issue for themselves. I am a dry, but the governor can not in good conscience promise a solution of this question because he does not make the laws. The people of each county will have an opportunity this summer to elect to the General Assembly leg islators who will express their wishes in the form of legislation. If the duly elected representa tives of the peopie shall enact a prohibition law, I shall sign that law. If the duly elected repre sentatives of the people shall en act county option, I shall sign that law. If the duly elected rep resentatives of the people shall enact any other law that will help control the liquor situation, I PGR SALE—One good work shall sign that measure. In any mule. J. P.

I will not use the power of execu tive clemency to undo their judg ments. I am strongly against the state police system. I believe that law j enforcement should be close to j the people, and that law enforce ment in general should be left to the counties and municipalities, j Tne State Highway Patrol has ’ done a wonderful job through the years in its specialized work. From | my observation as a Judges I feel ! that the peopie of the various ! counties and communities in this state can be depended upon to select Sheriffs, county police, and municipal police who will see that the law is enforced. No one knows better than I do the great debt which ihe people of the state and nation owe to the young men and women who entered the service of our country in the war. A veteran of three and a half years of army service myself, a large' part of -which was spent in both the European and Pacific Theaters, I saw with my own eyes their sacrifices and hard ships. I will champion every worthwhile activity in their be half. They should be given every opportunity to catch up on their education, and the state shomd do its full part, in cooperation with the Federal Government, to help them make up for what they lost while at war. So much for the past and pres ent. The moot vital problem fac ing us in the next four years is the future of our state. We stand on the threshhold of an oppor tunity which we shall never see again in our lifetime. The post war world offers unlimited possi bilities to develop and exploit our natural resources; to encourage industrial and business establish ment and location within our borders; to plan and perfect transportation facilities and mar keting methods to increase the in come of our farmers; r.nd, in gen eral, through trade and commerce with the rest of the nation and in world markets, to strive to raise the economic level of our state and of our people, and capitalize on our finest crop, our young peo ple as they come of age, so that they can stay here and contribute to the future prosperity and wel fare of South Carolina, and will not ^be forced to go elsewhere to find the opportunities in life to which they are justly entitled. If we do this, we can quickly 1 modernize and expand our public school and college facilities; guar antee to our teachers the compen sation which they deserve and j the future which their profession should enjoy; bring about the in crease in the wages of our work ing people and in the farm in come of our state, without which we shall never be a great state; broaden and expand our programs of public health, public welfare, and assistance to the aged, the blind, and our dependent chil dren; and furnish to business, in dustry, and agriculture the con ditions under which our system of free enterprise can best work and prosper. We dare not, we must not, fail to meet the challenge of the fu ture.

A parade of the buses used by Greyhound in serving this city and state for nearly two decades clearly reveals one thing: progress has been amazingly rapid—coaches have become pro gressively more comfortable, service faster and more frequent, station facilities continuously improved. The war halted this advance only temporarily. Now progress picks up where the war stopped it, and you can be sure it will move more rapidly than ever before, as fine new equipment is engineered, more convenient service is planned, modern high way travel facilities are designed and built. v Through these eventful years Greyhound has become an im portant part of community life here. The people who keep Greyhound rolling are your neighbors — they work and play ' and spend their money here. As good neighbors, they are in- ^ terested in you ... determined to give you better highway trans portation than ycu have ever known. r/ZT.[>M’S CUT-RA'rv STORE I’Ncn: 9' McCormick. S. C.
