PAGE SIX THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 1957 Advocates of the so-called civil rights bills, which are now pending in congressional com mittees, have tried to make it ap pear that these bills are necessary* to protect the rights of Negroes in the South. That is not true. The administra- ikm of laws protecting the civil rights of citizens is being carried out much more intelligently at the local levels of government than could ever be possible through edicts handed down from Wash ington. State officials and county offic- Jala know the people and know the problems of the people. Most of ficials in Washington in the Fed- end Government know much less about local problems than do the public officials in the States ailG In the counties. • For many years, I have been deeply troubled by what is happen ing to constitutional government in this country. 1 am fighting for the preservation of constitutional government in the appeareances X have made during the past week before the subcommittees of the Hduee and Senate Judiciary Com- mittes that have been holding bearings on the so-calle d civil rights bills. There are approximately a dozen different proposals embodied in the many bills which have been introduced. A great many bills which have been introduced. A great many bills duplicate others in one way or another. The principal proposals are as follows: 1. To create a civil rights comm- ision which would report its find ings and make recommendations to the President after investigat ing the status of civil rights law enforcement over the country. 2. To establish a civil rights division in the Justice Depart ment under an additional Assist ant Attorney General, instead of the present smaller civil rights section in the Criminal Division. 3. To give the Federal Govern ment, through the Justice Depart ment, authority to enter into civil actions against persons charged with violations of civil laws. 4. To give the Federal Govern ment authority to enter into the policing of elections. 5. To establish a Joint Congress ional Committee on civil rights. 6. Enactment of a federal anti lynch law.- 7. Enactment of a new law law against involuntary servitude, peonage, etc. 8. Enactment of a specific sta tute against segregation in inter state transportation. 9. Enactment of a so-called Fair Employment Practices Com mission law or a Federal Equal-1 ity of Opportunity in Employ ment law. 10. Enactment of a federal anti-poll tax law. 11. Enactment of a law to require that all cases of persons charged with attacking members of the armed forces be heard in federal court instead of either in federal or state court. I told the House and Senate any other name is just as bad,” and that I did not want to see tyranny foisted on the American people under the alias of civil rights. Real civil rights and so-called civil rights should not be con fused. Everybody favors human rights. But is is a fraud on the American people to pretend that human rights can long endure without constitutional restraint on the power of government. The actual power of the Fed eral Government should not be confused with power longed-for by those who would destroy the States as sovereign governments. We must not lose sight of the fact that the States created the Federal Union; the Federal Gov ernment did not create the States. Officials in the Federal Gov ernment, whether in the Exe cutive, Legislative, or Judicial Branch, should not forget to whom they owe their allegiance. Each of us owes his allegiance to the Constitution and to the people; We have taken an oath to sup port and defend the Constitution. The unconstitutional proposals contained in the so-called civil rights bills should be defeated. SUMMER PREVIEW . . .

HARPER LITTLE THINGS I N THE early night driving through central Alabama, my car became very temperamental and I finally stopped and, for want of anything ‘else to do, I walked on to the brow of a hill ahead. I was overjoyed to see a village and a large garage, bril liantly lighted. I soon enlisted the services of a mechanic. But, af ter several hours of work and after the fast LAN that one of our party wanted to take at Montgomery had thundered by and after the mechanic had sold me and installed a coil that I did not need, the man stopped and wiped his perspiring brow and said he was "burnt out." After a little while, be began again and I think accidentally touched a lit tle screw somewhere in the neigh borhood of the distributor and the motor started like a spark in powder. What a demonstration it was of the power of little things! It seems almost incredible that the power of an atom can work such havoc and revolutionize methods of war and disturb the peace of mankind. We find that even a small faith can accomplish wonders. Jesus said that if men should have faith but as a mustard seed they could do mighty things. So do not des pise the day of small things, as knowing that you have access to a faith, yes, to the Father, who marks *the sparrow’s fall and num bers the very hairs of your head.

Among the most common among crops is tobacco and tom atoes. Drs. Barnes and Epps, at Clemson’s truck station near Char leston, tell me, the main source of- this infection is tobacco. That is, the virus is carried on the cured leaf. For that reason they never permit smoking or chewing by workers engaged in handling or working these plants. After the disease once gets on the plants in the bed or field, it is readily transmitted down the row to others by farm implements and on the clothing of the work ers. Early infestation of the plants hurts most. NEW MELON ANTHRACNOSE In recent years our plant breed ers have given us watermelons and cucumbers that were resistant to anthracnose, one of their most troublesome diseases. With these growers have been making new production records. But, alas, now comes a new strain of anthrac nose, first noted in Florida, that affects these resistant strains too. So the breeder has to start all over again and try to find resist ance to it. unty has found he can still grow good crops of lespedeza by putt ing it on prepared land to itself. He says it’s time for us to make a real crop out of lespedeza and not try to have it a secondary one there in the grain. And a number of county agents have given me that same idea. It’s lespedeza planting time now. More farmers will be seeding it in this new way. It is too good a crop to let fall by ihe wayside. For bay, soil building, and seed it is a crop we need. the Experiment Station supplied them to a grocery chain in the state last summer. They liked them very much too. Our Certified Seed Association also has a limited supply of that new cannonball type watermelon the Blackstone, known simply as W-453 while the USD A Laborat ory near Charleston was develop ing it. They also have some seed of the early mediuni-sized watermelon, the Sugar Baby, and a fair supply of Certified Charleston Gray seed. Those interested in any of these may communicate with R. H. Gar rison, c-o Certified Seed Office, P & AS Building, Clemson, South Carolina. know your State r Ik LESPEDEZA NOW One who travels the state is impressed with the fact we see far less lespedeza now than we did some years ago. I’ve asked many county agents and others the why of this. They all give the same answer. The thicker seeding of the grains, in which it is plant ed, and the recurring spring dro ughts are the causes of so many failures with it. Hugh McGee of Anderson co* TOP DRESSING TIME # Adequate top dressing is cheap er than additional acres to get the grain you need, according to Clemson’s extension agronomists Woodle and Turner. With better preparation and heavier seedings than we used to to practice, increased amounts of top dressing at this time of year are paying off. A complete fert ilizer is recommended for planting time and then the later top dress ings are mostly nitrogen. All of the major costs enter ing into the making of a crop are up. But fertilizer is up less than the rest. So it becomes poor econ omy to stint there. - A new idea In Staplers••• aparlies staples and removes them, tool NEW MELONS Our Certified seed man here, Bob Garrision, tells me the Ass ociation has a limited supply of that new cantaloupe, Edisto, de veloped by Dr. Hughes at Clem son’s Edisto Station near Black- ville.
