Lint Developing Rapidly; Weevil Danger Seen Clemson, July 14—Reports and observations from throughout the state indicate that cotton is de veloping rapidly and is fruiting at a heavier than normal rate, with blooms at the tops of the stalks in much of the earlier cotton. These reports and observations show, however^ that growers still face a boll weevil threat with heavy weevil Infestation in fields where no poisons have been ap plied and in fields where growers poisoned early and then stopped. Fewer weevils are reported pre sent in fields where the recom mended control schedule has been followed. The average percent of infesta tion for the state in poisoned fields is 6 percent and in un poisoned fields is 26 percent. Heavy infestations of spider mites (red spiders) and aphids are also reported from several counties. Naval Academy and twenty-eight Naval Reserve Officers’ Training Corps Units. The officers and men of the Des Moines will spend the entire cruise passing their professional “know how” on to the future Naval officers.

Hazel's Sister Dies Sunday In Greenwood Mrs. Maggie Timmerman, 63, sister of Alvice and Clarence Hazel of Newberry, died in the Greenwood Hospital Saturday morning after an illness of several months. Mrs. Timmerman was a native of the Bethlehem section of Sa luda county and had been living in Saluda for many years, where she conducted a boarding house until her health failed her several weeks ago. Funeral services were held from St. Paul’s Methodist Church last Sunday afternoon and inter ment followed in the Bethlehem Cemetery. Survivors include three daugh ters, Mrs. Warren Berry Johnson, Mrs. Ansel Couch and Mrs. Virgil BATTLE JOINED GOP, Democrats Are Setting Stage For Free-Swinging Campaigns As the Democrats this week paraded their big-name leaders bef re their lusty national convention in Chicago in a full-blown attempt to match or better the resounding antics of the GOP con clave two weeks ago, the stage was being set for a vigorous, free- swinging election campaign in the interval between now and No vember 4. The party of Roosevelt and Truman, which had clouded up gloomily at the mere mention last month of the name Eisenhower, took new heart and hope for an elec tion victory after the internal war fare that struck the Republicans in their convention. For a good deal of Eisenh. er’s gilt edge had been chipped away in the course of the week-long unttle that resulted in his receiving the DWIGHT EISENHOWER GOP presidential nomination in stead of Sen. Robert A. Taft. The general of the army who led the World War II allies to victory in Germany and who did a magnificent job of organizing W'estern Europe’s military and economic forces to implement the North Atlantic Treaty Organization has been sub merged by the fact that citizen Dwight D. Eisenhower is now a man running for American politi cal office. _ ( Not a Disadvantage Yet, Eisenhower’s descent from the white charger upon which he re- r ’• rnc :1 from Europe last June 1 is not necessarily t disadvantage to the Republicans He, with his running mate. Sen. Richard M. Nixon of California, row is a determined, hard-fighting political reality, and the Demo crats who convened in Chicago's International Amphitheatre this between the Taft and Eisenhower factions that had developed during the spectacular course of the GOP convention, the two sides lost no time in starting to bridge the gap once the show was over and the de cision was made. Senator Taft, still the Mr. Repub lican of the U.S. senate, pledged his complete support to Eisenhower's campaign and promised also to back him in the senate. Eisenhower himself, in his ac ceptance speech, stressed the unity theme. “This is not a job for any one of us or for just a few of us. It will take the best in all of us,” he said. Nixon Selected The selection as vice-presidential nominee of 39-year-old Senator Nixon, although not a compromise move, can be regarded ps another step toward unification of the Re publican party. He is from Califor nia, which gives a cross-continental flavor to the ticket. He has had friendly relations with Senator Taft and other members of the so-called Old Guard section of the party. And, as one of the original investigators of Alger Hiss while a member of the house un-American affairs com mittee, he can play a leading role in the anti-Communist gambit of the Republican campaign strategy. Nevertheless, the convention strife had cut deeply into party harmony. For the Republicans real ly whooped it up in a series of bit ter floor battles and behind-the- scenes maneuvers. It was no “smoke-filled room’’ convention. To be sure, there were promises and counter-promises and deals within deals; but the Eisen hower forces chose the battle ground most favorable to them— the teeming, destiny-struck conven tion floor. First Session Drama Taft’s convention machinery was well-oiled when Guy Gabrielson’s gavel pounded down on the opening session, but from that point on it seemed to get more and more gum med up as the convention moved ahead. The sand got into the Taft gears j as a result of three* ballots on the i WISE REUNION TO BE HELD SUNDAY AT MOLLOHON The decendents of the late Walter M. and Martha Ellen Wise week were aware that they hadl^^ eaiiuri ® * or ^ ie attention of plenty of work cut out for them. ' ’P-^airman Despite the deep-rooted schism Joe Martin so that' they could get their votes officiary changed to Eisenhower. Final tabulation when the roll call closed was Eisenhower 845, Taft 280, Warren 77, MacArthur 4. Move for Unanimity The move for the selection of Eisenhower by acclamation, made by Sen. John Bricker of Ohio, and its approval by*the delegates was a rather week-kneed aftermath to the bone-shaking drama of the ballot itself. Tliere were other great moments in the convention—Mac Arthur’s stirring keynote address, the over whelming demonstration accorded to ex-President Herbert Hoover, Sen. Everett Dirksen’s blistering and vitriolic attack on Dewey— but by that historic Friday after noon, July 11, they all seemed pale in comparison to the first-and-last ballot for the presidential nomina tion. The Democrats this week have had all that to think over, and it is almost certain that the wondrous events at the GOP meeting .will have a strong effect on the ultimate decision the Democratic party makes as to its candidates to op pose the Eisenhower-Nixon ticket. . As you travel on up, Fairfield Forest Pro timber management convention floor. They told the en tire story, and it is the more re markable because there were only four ballots cast from Monday, July 7, to Friday. It was shortly after the opening session had begun that the Eisen hower camp defeated the Taftites on the “Fair Play” amendment by a roll call vote of 658 to 548. The action barred all contested dele gates in the convention from voting on anything until they were finally and officially seated, but it also permitted the seating of those who had been placed on the temporary rolls by a two-thirds vqte of the na tional committee. That automatically narrowed the much-heralded contests down to Texas, Georgia, and part of Louisi ana, and sent the convention’s cre dentials committee Into a rugged 15-hour session which held up the general proceedings a full day. Ike Floor Victory The pattern was set, and the fol lowing day the convention voted 607 to 531 to repudiate the creden tials committee which had recom mended seating the solidly pro- Taft 17-member Georgia delegation. After that the Taft forces moved to seat the pro-Eisdhhower delega tion from Texas in order to avoid another roll call defeat. By that time, Eisenhower and his conhorts—Sen. John Cabot Lodge, Governor Dewey of New York, Paul Hoffman, and Herbert Brownell—were convinced they had the nomination in the big. Ttoat they were right became su premely apparent at the end of the first ballot to nominate a presi dential candidate Friday after noon. Minnesota will be remem bered for a long time as having administered the coup de grace to Taft's hopes with Warren Burger’s climactic announcement from the floor that the state wanted to change its 19 Stassen votes in favor of Eisenhower. That gave the general 614 votes and put him in. Only 604 votes—a simple majority of the 1,206 dele gates—were required for nomina tion. After that the states rushed hys terically to get on the bandwagon, screaming Go out O’Neal street, west, about a mile or two out you will come to the J. T. McCrackin (Hill Place), on to the left just this side of the railroad where a com plete change over from an orch ard to a beef cattle farm is taking place. A little further on come Oliink It Over! Work is man’s great func tion. He is nothing, he can do nothing, he can achieve noth ing, fulfill nothing, without working. Someone has wisely said: “The greatest asset of any na tion is the spirit of its people, and the greatest danger that can menace any nation is the breakdown of that spirit—the will to win and the courage to work.” Today the hope of this coun try and the world is WORK. When we get back into full pro duction, with every shoulder to the wheel, all determined to give our utmost in effort—our fear of inflation, as well as for the future of our nation and ourselves will come to an end.
