BY THE
WAY...
By DORIS ARMFIELD
Washington, Nov. 6. — The
President has made bis trium
phant return to Washington,
and according to information
media, it was the largest wel
come. the largest turnout, ever
given to any person; even larg
er than any crowd ever gather
ed to see the late President
Roosevelt ride down Pennsyl
vania Avenue.
I didn’t expect to see the
parade, because I am alleigic
to mobs of any kind. It hap
pened, though, that the pro
cession passed up 15th Street
on its way to the White House,
and from the sixth floor win
dows of the Albee Building,
where the Stenotype Institute
is located, we had a perfect
view of the procession.
No matter what anyone says
about Harry Truman, it is im
possible not to admire “the
little man,’’ as the radio com
mentators have dubbed him
since his victorius fight. I don’t
believe I have ever seen any
one lo'.'k happier than he did
in that paiade Friday; h e was
v earirg a grey suit, looked in
tne be>t of health despue' his
grueling iunery of the past
few month, and woie a con
stant smile. It was not an af
fecte 1 smile—it • was a sm ; of
genuine gratitude to the people
who gave him such a tremen-
Qr)vs cvation.
I l.siened to all the news re
ports ti at I could get the day
and night after the election, to
see wl at explanations tne com-
rnentatois would give for lie
biggest political upset the 'oun-
try has seen in many years
There were excuses of every
kind; but most of them,it seem
ed to me. could have be n fore
seen. making a Demociatr: vic
tory possible. The one I liked
best was the commentator who
said ‘Americans have always
loved a fighting man, and
Harry Truman is a fighting
man.” My theory is that voters
are tired of being told by poli
tical machines, and by a power
ful politically controlled press,
just how they should vote, and
as a gesture of stubborness or
revolt, voted the way they
wanted to vote rather than the
way they were told.
A New Chance for the South
This is tbe story of the man
who cut off his nose to spite
his face. . , ,
South Carolina irrevocably
declared that it was done with
Harry Truman and the Demo
cratic Party. South Carolina
exercised the right of voting
for its collective choice. That
choice was the standard-bearer
of so-called States’ Rights.
South Carolina captured Fort
Sumter, but she lost the war.
Some of the die-hards are de
manding that the rebels con
tinue the war from under
ground, but the smart ones
can see the handwriting on the
wall in gigantic letters. The
States Rights crowd took a
thumping licking, and should
•have sense enough to know that
if the Dixiecrats couldn’t carry
the South in 1948, they will
never carry it. It was the ges
ture of small boys thumbing
their nose at the cop who was
being kicked off the force—
only Harry Truman wasn’t
kicked off. His 303 electoral
votes—and perhaps more—in
cluded Virginia. North Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Arkansas,
Texas, Oklahoma and Tennes
see. Now if those states didn’t
believe enough in “States
Rights” why should the r e st
of the South follow the example
of Louisiana, Mississippi. South
Carolina and Alabama?
So South Carolina isn’t go
ing to have the “North” teUing
it what it can do. througn the
Federal Government!
Now, it is nice to talk about
States Rights—independence of
the State from the Feoerai
Government, but in South Caro
lina. 96,493 of the pupils :n
secondary scnools attended
courses for which OUR federal
government supplied the mon
ey. These courses are mainly
vocational, agricultural, etc. and
without federal funds, there
would be at best a pale imi
tation of tne present program
It is one thing to la-k indepen
dence and another thing to
really be independent.
Four states against President
Truman — Alabama. Louisiana,
Mississippi and South Carolina.
Now don’t buiUl up any hopes
abouth “The South” being able
to hold the balance of power
ia the Senat i or in the House,
for that matter. It woild seem
possible tnat these f iur staves
could swing the balance on a
tight issue—until ynu look at
the record. Olin Johnston was
more or 1ms against Mr. Tru
man on major issues, but when
the going got rough, went out
of his way to vote for him. He
most likely will stand by the
President now, and will be m
a good posit’on' in the Admin
istration. No need to say what
Burnet Maybank will do--he’ll
be fo T ' the President.
Mississippi is usually consi
dered about last in everything
in the United States, but don’t
believe that Senators Stennis or
Eastland are foolish. They’ll
go along with Mr. Truman—
they aren’t foolish enough to
fight windmills. Hill and
Sparkman of Alabama, on their
records, are Democrats and nev
er anything else. As for Louis
iana—if you can imagine Allen
J. Ellender forgetting how he
NO POWDER was ever invented that; could make as
loud an explosion as that found on a man’s coat lapel.

Youngsters Seek
Club Quarters
At a recen meeting of the
executive committee of the
Youth Service Club further
plans were discussed for the
building of a permanent home
for the teen-agers of Newberry.
It is hoped that in a short time
a suitable place for the Youth
Center can be obtained and
work can be started early in
1949. After the large attend
ance of over fifty teen-agers
last weekend at the Scout Ca
bin, it is very evident that a!
larger place is needed.
The membership pledge cards
which have been in the hands
of the boys and girls since No
vember 1st can now be ex
changed for the new member
ship cards upon payment of
the dues. Every member must
present a membership card to

PURCELLS TO ATTEND
A.F.C. IN CHICAGO (
E. B. Purcell and son, Keitt
Purcell will leave Monday for
Chicago, 111., where they will
attend the American Finance
Conference, • which will be held
Tuesday and Wednesday.
They will make the trip by
plane from Columbia.
ITEMS OF PERSONAL NOTE
The friends of H. L. Boul-
ware will be glad to learn thal
he is now able to be up and
about after having been con
fined to his home in the Hart
ford community for the past
several weeks.
Mrs. W. B. Goggans and
daughter, Joan, spent Monday
in Columbia on business.
Mir. and Mrs. R. N. Lom-
inick and son, Bobby, of
got into office—and it wasn’t
States Righters who put him
there—you are wrong. He’ll ba
for Truman. Russell Long is
another story—nobody knows
what the son of the Kingfish
of unlamented past will do—
but you can bet it won’t be
anything too drastic his first
term.
It is time that some of our
wrong-thinking die-hards who
are physically living in 1948,
but in spirit are living in 1848,
should give up the mental
ghost. It is time for South Car
olina to realize that there isn’t
just “a new day coming”—it is
here now, and unless we catch
up, the parade of progress will
have gone by.
Since the above article was
written. Senator Olin D. John
ston, who left a vacant place
at the Jackson Day dinner in
protest of the President’s civil
rights program, has definitely
shown where his affections lie.
He was about thp first to board
the Presidentiar train when it
reached Union Station in Wash
ington Friday morning. I am
sure the press in South Capa-
hna has duly notified all citi
zens of the state of his activi
ties. And Johnston is by no
means the only one who has
changed his mind about thd
President. On every newscast
and in almost every issue of the
daily papers are stories about
"lectors pledged to the States
Rights Party changing to the
Democratic Party. From this
ooint, it would seem as though
Governor Thurmond will short
ly be a man without a party.
Greensboro. N. C., spent the

Lominick’s mother, Mrs. J. F.

to her home on Caldwell street
last Friday after spending two
months in Cleveland, Ohio, with
