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.

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.

BEWARE OF MOS1AC
Mosiac is a virus, disease that
affects the leaves of a number
of plants. 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

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.

may communicate with R. H. Gar

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.

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. -
