Company L, 21st Infantry Regi
ment, 24th Infantry Division, dis
tinguished himself by heroic act
ion near the Chang-chon River on
5 November 1950. During the con
solidation of newly won positions
and preparations for an expected
counterattack the enemy swept
the area with extremely heavy
machine gun and small arms fire.
With complete disregard for his
own safety. Sergeant Tompkins
moved forward, through a hail of
withering fire, to an exposed po
sition where he could locate the
source of this fire. After ob
serving the enemy’s position he
stood up, drawing upon himself
the full fury of the enemy's
fire, pointing out the locations
to his gunners and directing their
fire until he-fell seriously wound
ed. Sergeant Tompkins’ fearless
actions and exemplary leadership
reflect great credit on himself
and the United States Infantry.
Entered military service from
Whitmire, South Carolina. By
Command of Major General
Church.”
Sgt. Tompkins is presently as
signed to the 8th Infantry Batta
lion, Fort Jackson, where he and
his family have quarters. He Is a
brother of Mrs. Donald G. White
of Newberry and also a brother
of Captain B. F. Tompkins, U. S.
Navy, now stationed on the USS
Los Angeles in Korea.

Foresters See 35,629
Woods Acres In Year
The S. C. State Commission of
Forestry foresters examined 35,-
629 acres of timberland on 232
tracts for landowners during the
12 month period ending June 30,
1952, according to E. L. Middle-
swart, District Forester for the
Newberry District. Good forestry
practices were recommended to
the landowner in each case.
On 137 of the 323 tracts examin
ed, the foresters recommended to
the landowner that a sale of saw-
timber or pulpwood be made on
a selective basis only. On 74
tracts, comprising 3,708 acres, the
woodland owner requested State
Commission of Forestry foresters
to do the marking. A total of
4,510,130 board feet of sawtimber
and 950 cords of pulpwood was
marked on these tracts.
On areas wnere rorests were
not producing naturally, the forest
er recommended tha pine seed
lings be replanted. A total of 174
landowners in the Newberry Dis
trict planted 3,254,473 trees dur
ing the planting season.
This type woodland assistance
is available to all landowners in
the state. The original examina
tion is made free' of charge. If
marking is done by the Com
mission’s foresters, a charge of
50c per thousand board feet mark'
ed and/or 13c per standard cord
marked is made. Anyone having
timber for sale is urged to take
advantage of this service to as
sure the greatest return from
his timberland as well as keep
his tree crop growing. He should
contact his County Ranger, Coun
ty Agent, Soil Conservationist, or
write to the District Forester,
P. O. Box 381, Newberry, S. C.,
for additional information.

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.

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

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,

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

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.

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
