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.

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

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.
