Selection Of
Tom Pope
(Greenville News Editorial)
If anyone can knit together the
dissident factions within the state
Democratic party it is Thomas H.
Pope of Newberry, the party’s
new chairman.
The party convention Tuesday
closed on a note of harmony deep
er and more sincere than in many
years. Despite a hard-fought cam
paign. between Mr. Pope and Jul
ian Dusenberry of Florence, the
delegates left the convention hall
with less rancor than many would
have believed possible.
It is a mark of the man that
it was Mr. Pope himself who was
largely responsible for that feel
ing. Immediately after the bal
loting was complete, Mr. Dusen-
bury moved to make the election
of his opponent unanimous by
acclamation. Mr. Pope accepted
the gesture in the spirit in which
it was intended and pointedly
told the delegates that no man
ranked higher in his esteem and
affection than Julian Dusenbury.
With this auspicious beginning,
Mr. Pope none the less has his
work cut out for him. The task
he has accepted with such high
hopes is a thankless one, though
if he succeeds the state will be
his debtor. His position gives him
little authority and only so much
influence as he is himself able
to generate by winning the confi
dence of others.
His record of past services
gives reason to hope he will be
successful. In the short time he
.served in the state Legislature, he
quickly rose in the esteem of his
colleagues and was chosen as
Speaker of the House. He was a
candidate for governor in 1950,
running a race he must have
known he could not win but
which he felt he could not with
draw from.
He has maintained an active
interest in public affairs, serving
as a member of the State Ports
Authority and as an officer in
the Newberry County Democratic
Party, and he was a delegate to
the 1956 Democratic National Con
vention.
Thus, at 44, Mr. Pope combines
the vigor of youth with the ma
turity of experience. In his new
role, he will need both in large
measure.
For, immediately after his elec
tion, Mr. Pope announced he
would seek to unite with other
Southern states in consolidating
their strength behind acceptable
candidates and policies before
the 1960 Democratic National
Convention. To make the voice
of the South more effective in
national party councils, he said,
it must unite for concerted ac
tion within the party.
"I do not believe we can with
draw from the union,” he de-
Garden Club Has
Business Meet
The Newberry Garden Club met
on Tuesday morning, March 25
at the home of Mrs. Richard L.
Baker for a special business meet
ing.
During the business meeting, re
ports from the South Atlantic
meeting in Charleston, the. East
Piedmont district meeting in Spar
tanburg, and the Garden Club
Council were given by members
attending. Delegates were elected
to attend the annual convention of
the Garden Club of South Carolina
at Myrtle Beach on May 6-7 as
follows: Mrs. Hugh B. Senn, Mrs.
Clem I. Youmans, Mrs. Louis C.
Floyd alternate, and Mrs. Richard
L. Baker, Board member.
The new postage stamp honor
ing gardening and horticulture, as
part of the 100th anniversary
celebration of the great American
horticulturist, Liberty Hyde Bail
ey, was displayed by the president,
and members were urged to use
this stamp.
The possibility of sponsoring a
Junior garden club next year was
discussed, and plans were made to
do so, if it proved feasible.
Mrs. Baker told something of
the highlights of the year’s work
and showed a copy of the presi
dent’s annual report which she
sent in to headquarters. The club
gave her a rising vote of thanks
for her leadership during the year.
Mrs. Hugh B. Senn was install
ed as president for the coming
year, and read her list of commit
tees.
Mrs. Brice Waters was winner
of the door prize, a lovely contain
er.
dared. “We are an integral part
of America. If we are to make
our influence known, we have
to work with others of like mind
in the South.”
This is, of course, Mr. Pope’s
restatement of the basic dis
agreement which separated him
from Mr. Dusenbury. He believes
that the South’s victories must
be earned by constant effort in
side party ranks. Mr. Dusenbury
and his supporters, on the other
hand, maintained that the party
has already demonstrated that it
is willing only to take from, and
not to give to the South; that
concessions can only be wrung
from the national party leaders
by action or the threat of action
in direct opposition to their pres
idential nominees.
Mr. Pope has now been given
the opportunity to prove his
theory. His election was an act
of faith in a man dedicated to
allegiance to the party but de
termined to sustain his and his
state’s principles.
The success or failure of his
efforts will deeply affect the
lives of all South Carolinians.

tion of citizens in the county in

clinic, which will be held April 8-

sive drive to control rabies is held

dogs under control.

erinarians are being held through

fee of $1.00 a dog for vaccination.

CARD OF THANKS
Dear Relatives, Neighbors and
Friends:
On January 6, 1958 when our
home burned it was indeed a ter
rible experience, but it was so
wonderful to know there are so
many good people. Everyone has
certainly been wonderful. We are
now back in our new home and
hope in the near future each of
you will pay us a visit. It will
surely make us very happy. So
from the bottom of our hearts we
say many, many thanks for every
thing and may the Lord bless each
of you.
Mr. and Mrs. Ira H. Kinard
and family.
Law Day—U.S.A.
Is Proclaimed
Individual freedom under law is
the birthright of all Americans.
Laws and courts exist to protect
every citizen, in his person and
property, and in the individual
rights and privileges he enjoys
under our federal and state con
stitutions.
It is this liberty and equality for
the individual which distinguishes
our system of government from
communism, under which millions
of people are today living in slav
ery. Without laws and courts the
freedoms we often tqke for grant
ed would be meaningless.
This important truth is i to be
recognized publicly in a nation
wide observance of Law Day—U.
S. A. to be held on May 1, 1958.
The citizens of Newberry have
been invited to participate. The
observance will consist of special
programs sponsored by various or
ganizations and groups, and by
the schools. Their purpose will be
to focus attention on the import
ant part that law has played in
America’s growth and achieve
ment.
Law Day—U. S. A. is to be the
first national celebration of its
kind ever held. The present status
of world affairs makes it especial
ly fitting that our people should
at this time reaffirm their faith
in the rule of law and their deter-i
mination to strengthen it. This
is both a timely and patriotic ob
servance emphasizing respect for
law and good citizenship. It merits
the support and cooperation of in
dividuals, organizations and
schools.
Now, Therefore, I, Ernest H.
Layton, Mayor of Newberry, South
Carolina, do hereby proclaim
Thursday, May 1, 1958 as Law
Day—U. S. A. in Newberry, South
Carolina, and call upon all citizens,
organizations and schools to rec
ognize this special day and to join
in its observance.
