SPECTATOR
Jasper County was named for the
illustrious Sergeant Jasper, that in
trepid spirit of the Revolutionary
war who jumped over the walls of
the fort and recovered the American
flag which the English had shot
down. “Don’t, let us fight without a
flag”, said the redoubtable sergeant.
And the County of Jasper lives up to
that noble tradition. The Sergeant
risked his life to recover the flag,
•and Jasper county is willing to risk
something to recover this nation from
the Communists, Socialists, Hillman-
ites, Negroes, Pie-Eaters and Pot
tage-seekers who. join hands to make
up the great New Deal Party which
calls itself the Democratic party. Of
course it isn’t Democratic at all; it
is a lot of strange bedfellows, some
good men," but misguided.
Jasper is fortunate in both leader
ship and fellowship. It has great
leaders and it has great followers; it
is the Spiritual leader of South Caro
lina in present-day politics.
I attended the Anti-New Deal
meeting in Ridgeland and sat on the
side-lines enjoying the inspiration of
the occasion. It was inspiring. Good
fortune led me to the sam^estaurant
where Mr. Klug Purdy “s having
his supper. He is a remarkable man, > - ,, - .
and Mrs. Carter, the secretary, is a! 1943, appealed to the leaders of -he
remarkable woman. I learned about | Democratic party to lead us out of
the preliminaries, but greater to me 411 intolerable situation, and, where-
-- - • as, the intolerable situation was that
phasis about our having to pay trib
ute to Sidney Hillman before sup
plies can go to your boy in the ser
vice. He said that he would not vote
a Republican ticket; that he was a
Democrat; was not leaving the Demo
cratic Party, but that the Democratic
Party, under Mr. Roosevelt, had left
■os. Mr. Purdy said that he would
vote the Southern Democratic ticket
as a protest against Roosevelt. He
vailed for a pledge from those pre
sent to be loyal to the Democratic
principles of their forefathers and to
ask the aid of the Almighty in carry
ing it out. This was done by a stand
ing vote.
Mr. Purdy said that when Hillman
ruled out Jimmie Byrnes ,he insulted
the South; and since Mr. Byrnes
didn’t have the nerve to resist it, Mr.
Purdy called on Jasper county to do
so. He begged, the people to think of
the value of ONE vote, re, inding
them that the \oldier on guard duty
was just one man; and that we civi
lians should be like the soldier, with
stamina to fight on the home front
for the good of the nation as our
boys fight in battle.
Among the other speakers of the
evening were Mr. Nelson Perry, who
gave a brief account of his own
doubts in 1336 and after: “I am a
Democrat,” he said L “and I’ll vote the
ticket headed by MR. COKER."
Mr. S. S. Horton spoke briefly of
his father who was a Red Shirt, and
told that FDR had got on the Demo
cratic wagon as a shrewu politician.
Mr. Horton has two (2) sons in the
service and he wants to register his
protest against the Roosevelt admin
istration by voting the Southern
Democratic ticket. Mr. L. S. McCor
mick, judge of probate, endorsed the
resolution.
Mr. W. C. Weatherbee, an earnest
and vigorous young lawyer, spoke
with great dramatic fervor and was
loudly applauded.
The resolution adopted by the
meeting was the following:
“Whereas, Jasper county in July,
BONDS
than any preliminary was the tonic
effect on me of the deep sincerity, the'
passionate devotion to an idea of
Klugh Purdy and his associates.
The meeting itself was held in the
school field-house, and was attended
by a truly large and representative
•body of citizens, men and women.
The Mayor of Ridgeland, Mr. R. E.
Carter, presided and introduced the
general topic of opposition to the
New Deal. He sounded the note of
American freedom, of a people who
are determined to live without foreign
influenlce, and anxious to have this
country a free country for their
children, and not a country under
government of negroes, Communists
and labor agitators. He made the
point that under Mr Roosevelt labor
strikes have sometimes prevented
the flow of supplies to our men at i
the front; and he quoted Lt. Gov.
Ransome Williams as saying that if
we did not support Roosevelt we
would not get any Federal money
Mayor Carter spoke with deep feel
ing about the degradation of a coun
try which has to swallow a dictator
ship for public pap.
Mr. H. Klugh Purdy, the Demo
cratic county chairman; Mrs. Lucy
S. Carter, the secretary, are not to
be frightened by the threats of re
prisals, nor can they be cajoled by
favors and money.
Mr. Purdy delivered the principal
address. It was not a political de
nunciation of the old style, but a
carefully prepared indictment of
Mr. Roosevelt, an indictment by a
man who once supported Roosevelt
with enthusiasm, but who loves his
country more than a party label.
Mr. Purdy read excerpts of letters
from Mr. J. H. Hammond, who is
raising money for the Roosevelt
campaign, and his reply to Mr. Ham
mond, in which he said that Jaspe r
county would raise some moneyj but
not FOR Mr. Roosevelt; rather, it
would raise money to organize Jas
per county AGAINST him, for it
would be a calamity to keep in pow
er Roosevelt, Hillman and Walter
White.
Mr. Purdy remarked that the Dem
ocratic Primary WAS at one time a
white man’s organization, but that
was before the New Deal Supreme
Court took charge.
Mr. Purdy called attention that
from 1876 to 1932, with few small
exceptions, the Republicans did not
molest the South, but that from 1932
until this time, Mr. Roosevelt, using
the Democratic machinery, has stir
red up the negro question.
Mr. Purdy suggested that the
South must meet this threat legally;
and, if necessary for the upholding
of white control, it may have to re
vive the convention plan of nominat
ing officials.
Mr. Purdy explained at length the
requirements governing the general
election and explained the matter of
the poll tax, calling attention that if
is a very small contribution for the
schools. Mr. Purdy urged that the
ticket of the Southern Democratic
Party be supported and he urged
every one to be sure to vote this
ticket for Presidential electors, which
begins with the name, COKER.
Mr. Purdy pointed out in his ar
raignment of Mr. Roosevelt that Mr.
Roosevelt had not kept his promise
about anything except to bring liquor
buck; and he remarked that no one
can rely on the word of Mr. Roose
velt.
Mr. Purdy told about the mingling
of whites and negroes in the army
hospitals and asked if that was nec
essary to help win the war. He then
asked the audience if they wished to
vote for a Commander-in-Chief like
that. He said that Mr. Roosevelt
had remarked that he could not talk
out of both sides of his mouth. Tliat,
said Mr. Purdy is exactly what he
does. He talks to Hillman and
Browder out of one side of his mouth,
and to you and me out of the other.
(I think this last sentence was Mr.
Weatherbee’s.)
Mr. Purdy spoke with great em-
Signal
Out of a transport, into the early
»rey dawn and down behind the
-■nemy lines in France goes this
oaratrooper. An American boy, will-
;ng to give his all that freedom may
remain ours. Support him and his
buddies by doing all you can at
tome—by buying War Bonds regu
larly. U. S. Treasury Department
the leaders of the Democratic Party
had allowed it to be taken over by
the C I. O., the Communists, the So
cialists, and the Walter Whites; and
whereas, no heed was given to our
appeal, and since that time the noope
has been placed more firmly around
our necks; therefore, be it resolved
that we now appeal £o the people of
this state and the true Democrats of
the nation to oin with us in the de
feat and overthrow of the present
Democratic administration which has
betrayed us and restore the party to
its true supporters. Resolved, .fur
ther, that we fledge ourselves to do
all in our power to bring the defeat
of Franklin D. Roosevelt.”
We are about to lose the Solid
South. It has been the Solid South
because of the seals of Reconstruc
tion; but where do we stand; to what
refuge shall we go, when a political
combination of Communists, Social
ists and Negroes controls the Party
which our fathers cherished as the
Party of White Men?
If the New Dealers and the Re
publicans scorn us, or betray us, why
submit to it? Why not prove that
manhood still lives and asserts its
rights? If we are such a peculiar
people, we White Southerners, why
not stand together as White South
erners?
Just as the Scriptures tell us
Ephraim was joined to bis idols and
preferred them to Jehovah, so we
have people who betray the tradi
tions ef the South for jobs or influ
ence or political power. They play
with fire ,and are adopting the atti
tude of Lious XV “After us, the
deluge”!
the Court. It was difficult to be
lieve that those nine men could do
anything so common as to eat ham
and eggs. Perhaps, they could not,
because men of that great age were
more likely to thrive on milk and
crackers. But after all is said and
done “a man’s a man for all that.”
So one of the young lawyers with
rapt attention observed one of the
eminent justices lean over to speak
to another justice. In the mind of
the young lawyer this must have
been a consultation about some pro
found, abstruse, or even recondite
point of law. The truth is that the
eminent justice whispered to his as
sociate, “Can you give me a chew of
tobacco ?”
All this came to mind because I
rode with a Sergeant in a bus some
time ago. He had been in very tech
nical service; he had not seen his
family for months; he had a three-
days’ leave—which would allow him
one day at home; and what was on

FREEDOM HAS MANY
BLESSINGS
The United Nations are fighting
for freedom for many different rea
sons. One of the most unique rea
sons was brought out by one of our
smaller allies, the Nagas of Assam
and North Burma. Known as head
hunters, it took something concrete
to sway them to our side.
With these .people hostile to us,
our efforts in Burma would have
been less effective. The American
medical profession played a great
part in helping win the confidence of
the Nagas by just doing its job of
caring for the sick and wounded.
The Nagas were afflicted with
sores which ate to the bone and were
considered incurable by these tough
little people. The American doctors
went about treating this common
sore with sulfa drugs and in short
time the sores disappeared miraicul-
ously. Their King Peter was ' cured
of blindness through the removal of
cataracts in both eyes.
It didn’t take any more to convince
this ally that our cause was for then-
good. The Nagas played an impor
tant part in helping push the Ledo
Road through to completion.
This is another victory for the
American doctor who works and
achieves under a free enterprise sys
tem y which is the backbone of a free
nation.
If the Nagas people knew about
the plans in this country to socialize
medicine and destroy our free Ameri
can doctor they would think we were
very stupid indeed.
WHICH IS MOST DANGEROUS?
What arc the great issues of the
world today? What are people think
ing about? Do you suppose that the
average intellectual man spends most
of his time in deep thought? I am
reminded of a story told of our U.
S. Supreme Court. Years ago when
the Justices of that august Tribunal
seemed to remote from the rest of
us that we stood in awe of them,
two young lawyers sat in the Court
observing the proceedings. The very
air was heavy with the austerity of

The little steel formula has been
broken. The punch drunk experts
are muttering, “Here we go again,”
while the OPA has announced an all-
embracing price control program to
go into effect after Germany falls,
when reconversion commences.
Out of this comic opera of men
against nature, the ordinary citizen,
whose activities are, already slowed
to a crawl in a tangle of regulation,
is faced with the appalling prospect
of having to make the readjustment
to peace under the handicap of even
more regulation. Instead of getting
simpler as the war crisis subsides, the
rules are getting increasingly com
plicated. The OPA admits that price
ceilings in regard to products which
reappear in the market as the re
sult of gradual reconversion, will
have to vary from industry to in
dustry, in some oases from company
to company. There may be 100 dif
ferent ceiling prices for the same
item produced by 100 different firms,
ccording to OPA, the nightmare of
regulation is to be continued until
“there is no longer any danger of in
flationary price increases.” •
With wages on the verge of an-
ether upward spiral, thus again put
ting the squeeze on farm producers,
manufacturers and retail distributors,
it will probably be a long time before
the “danger” of inflation is over.
Eventually the people may have to
choose between the danger of infla
tion and the danger of too much gov
ernment control.

LAW DIES
his mind? The war? The problems
of peace? No! He eased up 1® me
and said, “What you think of the
chances of the St. Louis Browns?”
Well, the profound question has been
answered. Without an earthquake;
without any upheaval of nature,
‘hough with great tumult and shout
ing, the St. Louis Browns have won
a pennant! That ought to be one of
the most inspiring efforts in all the
history of mankind; for if the St.
Louis Browns can win a pennant, it
proves that hope should never die.
My hat is off to the St. Louis Browns
for they have been trying since the
time when the memory of man run
neth not to the contrary and now
they sit in the seats of the mighty.
