PAGE TWO THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY, JUNE 1*, 1968 nn 1218 Ooltesv StrMl NEWBERRY, S. C. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY O. F. Armfield, Jr., Owner Entered as second-class matter December 6, 1937 at the Postoffice at Newberry, South Carolina, finder the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: $2.00 per year in ad vance; six months, $1.25. Letters To Editor June 12, 1958. Dear Editor, I noted in The (Columbia) State of June 12th that the three gub ernatorial candidates—in stating their campaign expenses—were at variance on the items to be listed. For example, Lieutenant Gover nor Ernest Rollings listed ap proximately $1900.00 expenditures against $16,157.00 and $17,467.00 respectively for Messrs. Johnson and Russell. Since the listings are matters of public record, I believe it is an affront to the integrity of the thousands of Rollings voters— and to all South Carolinians—to have Mr. Rollings so nimbly side step the hard facts of his cam paign. Being a citizen of North Caro lina—and, moreover, a person who has grown to love your state —it is difficult for me to swal low public proclamations that a gubernatorial candidate as often seen and heard as Mr. Rollings spent as little as $1900.00 during the campaign. Since Mr. Rollings —in his own words—seems to tot ter on the bring of financial des titution, it is believable that he personally expended no .more than that amount. But I often wonder who furn ished the thousands of * dollars poured into his television appear ances alone ? For example, the purchase price of air time at a local Columbia station is—as are all VHF channels—quite high. Rollings—or somebody—spent ap proximately $2000.00 weekly dur ing the month of May at this single station for Mr. Rollings’ candidacy. The same shows — mostly “spots” and fi 1 m e d speeches—were aired throughout Bowks Service George ErMetts DESIGN FOR - - - Living Leisurely Tailoring that is relaxed but not careless . . . styling- that is easy to wear and e- qually easy on the eyes. T. ROY SUMMER, INC. “THE MAN’S SHOP >» Jacob Horace Bowles Sr., 59, died early Sunday afternoon at New berry County Memorial Hospital after he was suddenly stricken at his home near Silverstreet late Saturday night and was rushed to the hospital. Born and reared in Newberry County, he was a son of the late Hugh Wilson and Alma Baker Bowles. For a number of years he had made his home near Sil verstreet and had operated a ser vice station and general mercan tile business. He was a member of Trinity Methodist Church. Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Margaret Crpuch Bowles; one son, Jacob Horace Bowles Jr. of Sil verstreet; two brothers, Homer W. Bowles of Pomaria and Claude B. Bowles of Green Cove Springs, Fla., and one sister, Mrs. Otho T — the state: In Greenville, Colum bia, Charleston, Spartanburg, etc. . . . Who paid for these—and what is Mr. Rollings supposed to do in order to pay this money back ? Obviously—in our inquisi tive society—thousands of dol lars are not simply given away to anyone unless there is some con dition created for repayment. I certainly believe the citizens of your state should be informed on these figures. How much did “friends of Rollings” pay for his advertisements ? Who are these wealthy benefactors ? What strings are running between these debts and the policies of the gov ernor’s office in the next four years ? A mountaineer, and more fierce ly democratic than all of your candidates combined, I hesitate to pronounce any man “incorrput- ible” who enters politics with an empty pocket-book; and who, moreover, runs up a string of debts involving over $25,000.00. If I were a member of your state, I would certainly question a can didate that has taken such “gifts” knowing full well that his single method of re-payment involves his high office. Respectfully yours, Dick Smith, Jr. Newberry. George Efrid : Metts, 79, died Monday at a .Lexington rest home after four years of declining health and four weeks of illness.

HD Council Is A Challenge To South Church Members For 23 years their political influence in South Carolina has pooled its power in the General Assembly to paralyze the efforts of honest good-hearted church people. In the present race for Governor, two men are on the scene. One, by his es tablished legislative voting record, and statement in this campaign,, represents the thinking of “the liquor traffic” who oppose all that the moral forces of the state stand for. For 23 ye,ars “the liquor traffic” has challenged the churches of South Caro lina, and has ridden rough-shod over every effort of Ministers, Educators, and parents in their endeavors to create a s ociety free from the domination of brew ery and distillery influence. Mr. Holling’s Record Mr. Hollings has left a trail of political sup port of “the liquor traffic” through much of his political career as a member of the General Assembly. He has had many opportunities to declare himself on questions relating to the sale of alcoholic beverages, and has consistently voted with the “wets”. On Wednesday, April 6, 1949, he voted against a bill which would have prohibited the circula tion, sale, offer for sale and distribution of publications advertising liquor in South Caro lina. This record vote will be found on page 843 of the 1949 House Journal. The number of the bill was H-1203. On ’VY’ednesday, February 20, 1952, he voted against what is commonly referred to as ’’LO CAL OPTION.” This recorded vote will be found on. page 704 of the 1952 House Journal. The number of the bill was H-1341. On Thursday, March 18, 1954, he again voted against “LOCAL OPTION” bill number H-1856. This record vote will be found on page 1148 of the 1954 House Journal. On Friday, March 19, 1954 he was against the passage of the same bill and is shown on page 1185 of the 1954 House Journal as being so op>- posed. An Appeal To The Church Now is the time for the 468,000 Baptists, 181,- 000 Methodists, 60,000 Presbyterians, 50,000 Lutherans, plus the great host of the Church of God, the Assemblies and others to come to bat for God and the right. If we deduct 50 per cent of the total membership of the churches of the state as being too young to vote, we still have more than the number of votes cast in the previous election. If we take away 150,000 from the Baptist rolls alone, fox the children and youth, we have enough Baptists to defeat this bid of the “voice” of the “wets” to turn the governorship over to the domination of the “liquor traffic.” It is unthinkable that church people would give their state away in such a blunder. I appeal to every church member in the state; those who go to the conventions, synods, con claves, and assemblies; who, when some faithful preacher raises his voice against immoral forces, all clap their hands, pat their feet, and say “Amen”; this is the time to put some action into our claims in the morals’ field and elect DONALD RUSSELL, who has committed himself to the basic principle of “HOME RULE” and the ef fort to secure for the people the right of ex pression at the ballot on these moral issues. I appeal to the Christian and Church people to elect DONALD RUSSELL Governor of South Carolina on June 24.
