Gag Rule in the Senate A group of so-called liberal Senators recently served notice on the Senate floor, that they will make a determined effort next January to change the rules of the Senate, to restrict debate. I shall be among those who will resist this effort, with all the vi gor at my command. The tradition of full discussion is one that has contributed large ly to the Senate’s proud distinc tion as the greatest deliberative body in the world. The Senate is one of the last forums on earth where men can discuss matters of vital importance without res trictions on debate. The right of every Senator to discuss issues fully is the great buffer which protects both the smaller and the larger states from imposing on each other. The rules of the Senate, which permit unhurried consideration of measures which otherwise might be passed hastily, is an important part of the system of checks and balances which is the heart of our governmental system. Present Limitations Those who seek to destroy the present rules of the Senate claim that a change is necessary to pre vent a minority from blocking needed legislation. It is said that a handful of stubborn Senators can prevent the enactment of laws by refusing to end debate. This claim is not valid. The present rules of the Senate pro vide ample means for ending de bate on those occasions on which debate is unduly extended. Stand ing Rule XXII permits limitation of debate by two-thirds of the Senate membership (64 Senators) taro days after a petition has been Strom Aurmond IfOOQOOOtll submitted by 16 Senators. There after debate is limited to one hour for each Senator. Majority Rule It has been proposed that the Rule be changed to permit a sim ple majority to impose a gag on debate. Under this amended Rule, 49 Senators could ride rough-shod over a minority of 47. Nothing is closer to the core of our American philosophy of gov ernment than the principle that rule by the majority must be ade quately checked to safeguard the freedoms of the minority. The un bridled will of a majority power ful enough to smother all opposi tion inevitably leads to a tyranny under which all individual rights are smothered. The Issue At Stake In short, the issue at stake is whether we shall preserve the right of the people to have the Senate fully discuss all sides of the issues before acting on leg islation. Preservation of this right is not a sectional issue. Every section of the country will be benefitted if the Senate will maintain itself as the forum in which every Senator, regardless of the size of the State from which he comes, can talk things out before the country. I intend to be prepared for an all-out fight in January. Any re strictive change in the Senate rules would be a serious blow to the American system of govern ment. Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Anderson and son, Eddie and Dr. and Mrs. Jesse Dickert are spending their vacation this week at Pawley’s Island.

C. FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Ciemson Extension information Specialist WORKING TOGETHER I’ve been around over this coun try a lot. I naturally gravitate to the local agricultural workers. For it is from them I get the leads to the information I want. On these rounds I’ve seen vary ing degrees of cooperation among these workers. But nowhere have I seen the spirit of cooperation more clearly evidenced than in many counties in South# Carolina Most of our fellows here work to gether, as a team, each in his field that comes so nearly over lapping at places as to cause mis understandings and discord, if folks are not of good will and de dicated to their tasks. On occasions I’ve gone to a county for news and the agent was out of town or busy on some thing else. He had alerted the FHA or SCS man and he took me around to see the things I sought. That has happened more than once in Cherokee and Dor chester. And at some other places too. Epps and Bridge of Dorches ter spend at least a day a month together, keeping acquainted with the other’s aims. I was on a FHA tour of Union and Cherokee counties of late. On each farm we visited we saw the contributions of 3CS men Agents Cochran and Lee respec tively, in addition to the great work the FHA man was doing in helping tenants become owners. This is good for all. But speci ally for the folkks we are trying to serve. For then they get the honest best from all. GET WOOD SUPPLY Did you ever try to build a fire or keep one going with green pine ? It just can’t be done. A few sorry folks in our part of the country usied to try. But the thrifty Dutchmen there always cut their year’s wood sup ply along about layby time. For then farm work was slack, winter would be there before borers could get started in the tops that were left and damage standing trees, and there was still enough warm weather left to dry it out good and quick. Oil and elictricity have replaced fire and stove wood at a many a place. But those who still use wood are reminded winter is com ing and it’s time to cut the wood supply. Green oak will burn a lot better than green pine. But you can’t start a fire with it etither, though it burns all right after you get a fire started with dry pine. In fact, I like a lot of green oak to to keep things going in the open fireplace. It sings and sizzles as it burns, and adds a coziness and aroma to the room that’s rare. But for real cold weather, we need some dry oak too. For our' forest er, Bill Barker, tells me it has more heat in it. WATER IN FLORENCE County Agent Livingston of Florence tells me a bold water development program has been projected there. The proposed site is just east of town in the Polk Swamp area. It appears they have a natural there for a large lake, 7 miles long and as r much as a mile wide, 1,400 acres of wat er! The idea is for it to supply un limited fresh water for the city of Florence and for industrial development in the area. And it also has irrigation and recreat ional angles that glitter. Good, fresh, usuable water in quantity is getting to be one of the most critical items in most parts of the world, not excepting the so-called “rainfall belt” in which we live. Our personal needs for water increase every year. And for industry and irrigation, which are just starting good here, they are stupendous. The areas that conserve and develop their water potentials are sure to shine in the future. For that’s one thing there is no substitute for. The al mighty made this earth that way. BOYS ARE THAT WAY As kids in the Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork, we played “green” he had to show you something on his person that was green or, fail ing, give you something of val ue that he had with him Now that sounds simple. But it wasn’t always. Boys are forgetful, you know, and they sometimes changed clothes in which they had carefully kept bits of green leaves in the pockets. Maybe your oppo nent would catch you at such time and all you had in your pocket was your traesured pocketknife. Well, it was his If you saw him coming and could get a piece of something green, like a leaf or blade of grass before he touched you, you were OK. Another thing, you had to re member who you pledged with. At the end of school in the spring we’d always break all of the “green” we had. For we wouldn’t see much of each other, after we scattered over the hills for the summer, and we’d forget. So then when , school started, we’d pledge all over to those we want ed to play with. This game was hard on the girls, for they didn’t have pockets like we boys did. A leaf would dry and crumble in our pockets, and when challenged we could always find bits of it in the dusty debris down under the varied treasures a boy carries in his pockets. Only when we chang ed clothes did that not work. We had a lot of fun with that simple game of “green.” Haile-Warren Marriage Vows Are Spoken By MRS. A. H. COUNTS Miss Marcia Haile, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Thomas Haile of Newberry became the bride of Thomas Baker Warren Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Baker War ren of Allendale in a lovely cere mony at five o’clock Sunday after noon, August 17, in Central Meth odist Church. The Rev. Melvin E. Derrick, pas tor, assisted by Rev. Paul F. War ren of Asheville, N. C., uncle of the bridegroom, performed the double ring ceremony. Potted palms, white cathedral candles in branched candelabra and altar vases of white gladioli and California chrysanthemums formed the background for the vows. Mrs. James E. Wiseman of Newberry, organist, and Mrs. John Brandt of Ciemson, soloist, pre sented the wedding music. The ushers were Charles W. Haile of Columbia, brother of the bride; Bob Warren of Allendale; Felder Ray Cook of St. George and Joe Thompson of Fayette ville, N. C. Miss Mary Jo Warren of Allen dale, sister of the bridegroom, was maid of honor. She wore a dress of pink lace over matching frilled net and taffeta made with elbow length sleeves and boat neck line which extended into a V-shape in the back.. The full day length skirt was accented with an Am erican beauty sash to the hem. She wore a cloche bandeau of matching lace and taffeta with cir cular face veil and carried a cas cade bouquet of Better Times Roses tied with matching ribbon. The bridesmaids, Mrs. John W. Rabb of Rock Hill, college suit- mate of the bride; Mrs. Charles W. Haile of Columbia, sister-in- law of the bride; Miss Molly Fen nell of Newberry and Mrs. Niles Clark Jr., of Waterloo, wore dresses and carried flowers like that of the maid of honor. The bride who was given in marriage by her father, was love ly in her wedding gown of white chantilly lace and tulle over satin, designed with a sabrina neckline trimmed with opalescent sequins and brief sleeves. The full tulle skirt with bands of lace extended into a chapel train. Her three tier ed finger tip veil of imported French illusion ^was attached to a petal clip of opalescent sequins and pearls. She carried a bouquet of tube roses and featured carna tions centered with a white orchid. Gene Butler of Conway, room mate of the bridegroom, was his best man. The bride’s mother wore a dress of mauve lace and taffeta, mauve acceessories and a white orchid corsage. The bridegroom’s mother wore a dress of blue lace and taffeta, blue accessories and a white or chid corsage. The bride’s parents entertained with a reception in the fellowship hall of the church immediately fol lowing the ceremony. Mrs. Warren is a graduate of the Newberry High school and received a bachelor of arts degree in English from Winthrop College in the class of 1957. She taught at Crayton Junior High school in Columbia the past year and will teach English in Chicora High school in Charleston beginning in September. For a wedding trip to the mountains of Western North Carolina the bride changed to a two-piece ensemble of sapphire blue imported cotton and silk blend, small blue feathered hat and matching shoes and bag of silk suede and white gloves. The white orchid from her bouquet completed her costume. Mr. Warren graduated from Al lendale High school and from Presbyterian College in 1957 with a bachelor of science degree in chemistry. He is now a sophomore at the Medical College of Charles ton. Cotton Picking Time Is Near, Says Agent (By County Agents) Harvest High Quality Cotton Cotton is now opening on a num ber of farms and picking will likely get underway within the next week. As we have reminded growers during the year, quality cotton is scarce and will bring a better price as well as a higher loan rate this year. Therefore, farmers should do everything pos sible to safeguard quality at pick ing time. Several things growers can do to insure higher quality include: 1. Defoliate rank cotton before picking. 2. Pick cotton promptly after bolls open. 3. Keep trash and grass out of cotton in harvesting, handling and storage. 4. Dry green or wet cotton be fore taking it to the gin. 5. Make standard weight bales of 450 to 550 pounds. 6. Have cotton classed before marketing. Poultry Increases To Continue The production of commercial eggs continues as the fastest growing farm enterprise in New berry County. It appears now that our earlier estimate of 75 thousand laying hens in Newberry County will be surpassed by the end of this year. It is gratifying to see our coun ty farmers taking advantage of this opportunity to add an addi tional farm enterprise that will make better use of their avail able labor and facilities and in crease their farm income. Not that we consider egg pro duction as. any easy, highly pro fitable enterprise. However, over a period of five to ten years, it should prove a profitable enter prise for those- who are willing to do the right job of manage ment. One of the most important as pects of any new farm enterprise is the availability of a market. Fortunately there are several markets available to those who are interested in the production of commercial eggs. We will be glad to furnish information on these available markets as well as other requirements necessary to go into egg production to those who may be interested. Meeting of Interest to Tree Growers A meeting of vital importance to those interested in growing trees will be held in the court room in Winnsboro at 10:30 on Wednesday morning, Aug. 27th. This meeting is one of a series that will be held by the legisla tive Forestry Study Committee as a means of hearing the pro blems of woodland owners and determining how to best assist such owners with their problems of woodland management. Everyone interested in the solv ing of the problems which now confront the woodland owner is urged to take advantage of the opportunity, attend the meeting and be prepared to take part in the discussion. Beef Feeder Cattle Sale ^The Greenwood Area Feeder Cattle Sale date has been set for September 26. It now looks like there will be a good number of out of state buyers on hand and should make a good sale. The corn belt states and other areas where most of these cattle will go are planning a good corn crop and want cattle of this type for their feed lots. Please notify your County A- gent the approximate number of cattle you will have in this sale. 4-H Dairy Calf Club Fie'd Meeting As the fair approaches, most of the 4-H Club members with dairy calves want to know just what to do in order to show them at the County Fair. Two meetings have been planned to answer those questions. One is on the farm of Grady Lee Halfacre, Au gust 22 at 10 A. M. The second one is at the farm of C. P. Tea gue, Jr. in the Trinity Commun ity, August 25 at 10 A. M. We hope that all dairy club members who plan to show at the fair will attend one of these meet ings in order that we may make our plans on having the calves tested and arrangements at the fair. Electric Records Due All 4-H Electric Records are due in the County Agent’s office Mrs. Hunt Dies At Rest Home Mrs. Ira Senn Hunt, 79, widow of the late L. Jake Hunt, died early last Wednesday afternoon at the Lake Side rest home in Lex ington.

The Keep Green campaign to protect forests from fire gets devoted and powerful support from press, radio and television. Intelligent reporting by America's newspapers, broadcasters and telecasters has made millions of citizens more aware of their personal responsibility for protecting woodlands from fire. At the same time it has given the public a better understanding of the importance of cooperating with the tree farmers who are growing timber crops for tomorrow. For this far-sighted, continuing service, the forest industries salute their friends—the newspapers, radio and television stations of the United States. Their service in behalf of forest protec tion and wise woodland management is in the American tradition. Vi* j. * sx rr~ -i* The Champion Paper & Fibre Company
