PAGE TWO THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 1959 1218 College Street NEWBERRY. S. C. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY 0. F. Armfield, Jr., Owner Entered as second-class matter December 6, 1937 at the Postoffice at Newberry, South Carolina, under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: $2.00 per year in vance; six months, $1.25. ad- party for the presidency of the United States; Roger Sher man, the shoemaker statesman from Connecticut; Rufus King, who was yet to spend many years in the forefront of political life; Elbridge Gerry, whose name furnished us with the political term, ‘gerrymander’, who spent many later years in public life, and who held at his death the second of- fical position in the United States. These were the leaders of the notable assemblage that gathered at Philadelphia for the purpose of forming a more perfect union, of laying the foun dations of a nation.” With all that wealth of patriotism of early Americans our other-worldly-minded use Kossuth on a popular Ameri can stamp. Have we used Simon Bolivar or Jose de San Mar tin, incomparably greater figures in the cause of populor li berty than Kossuth. And the Peruvian general at Ayacucho, who led in finally exeplling the Spaniards from South Ameri ca, Kossuth can’t compare with him. What about Patrick Henry ? Why run abroad seeking he roes to commemorate; and the worst of it all is that we pay tribute to a struggle for liberty while mildly, meekly, craven- ly yielding our liberty or supinely accepting encroachments which may result in a despotism and tyranny, even if bene volent as was once observed. A fine gentleman, a steadfast friend, a patriot and a man of ideals and ideas — my young friend of 92, Hon. G. L. Toole of Aiken. COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS By SPECTATOR Verily, verily, the utterly futile Foreign Aid foolishness reflects the extreme unwisdom of our leaders and a namby- pamby acquiescence by our Congress in a prodigality that would have incited the men of the American Revolution to open revolt. We have forgotten those men who guided the thirteen Co lonies in their effort to build a Nation. Do you remember Richard Henry Lee? What about Pat rick Henry? And John Hancock? There was James Madison. Well what about them ? Among the great benefactors of mankind might be men tioned Thomas A. Edison. I have an American 4-cent stamp commemorating Kos suth, Governor of Hungary. There was a man called James Monroe. So what about it? Why mention him? What stirs me to complete disgust is the dedication of a four-cent American stamp to Kossuth, a Hungarian patriot, even though of great service over there. You recall that the immortal Declaration of Independence written or edited by Thomas Jefferson, was based on the less known resolution introduced by Richard Henry Lee on June 7th but laid aside for three weeks. • Lee rose in the Continental Congress, declaring that he did so “in obedience to his constituents” and offered the re solution containing these memorable words: “That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and inde pendent States, and that they are absolved from all allegi ance to the British Crown”. You may recall that the King refused to recognize the Continental Congress as a legal body, so the members hum bly signed their names in solemn petition as individuals re presenting their separate Colonies. At first, as you see, there was no intention to break with Britain. Following the Tea Party in Masachusetts the Colonists from Maine to Georgia became more or less welded in opposition to the Crown. A South Carolinian sounded the keynote in these words: “The whole country must be animated with one great soul, and all Americans must stand by one another, even unto death”. ! As to Edison, the whole world is in debt to him. He lifted burdens from the backs of millions of people and madepos- sible all the vast i ndustrial development throughout the world. ■ I mentioned Madison: I need not speak of Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton fought valiantly to bring about the adop tion of the Constitution, but Earl Warren et al have done their utmost to tear it to pieces. Let me reproduce the scene in Philadelphia as portrayed by an eloquent historian: “An abler body of statesmen has not assembled in modern times than that which made our Constitution in 1787, nor has ahy assembly met with truer motives, or produced a grander result. The whole number of delegates was fifty-five, and there was scarcely a man among them who had not been dis tinguished in the state or in the field, who had not been a governor, a member of Congress, or a commander in the army. A few had served in the Stamp Act Congress in 1765, others had set their names to the immortal Declaration in 1776, and one had framed the plan of union at Albany in 1754. Could these men have looked into the future, they would.have seen two of their own number become Presidents, of the United States, one a Vice President, and many others foreign ministers, members of the Supreme Court, Cabinet officials, and United States senators. These were the men who founded the Republic and started it upon its marvelous course of prosperity. First among the framers of our Constitution stands Washington, the soldier-statesman, and next tohim we must place Franklin, the philosopher and diplomat, and the oldest member of the convention. Among the most conspicious members was John Dickinson, who was remembered for hav ing honestly opposed the Declaration in 1776, but whose sin cere patriotism could never be questioned. The most learned lawyer in the convention was James Wilson of Pennsylvania, afterward justice of the Supreme Court. For profound know ledge of constitutional law few surpassed the youthful Madi son of Virginia, .who came to be called the ‘Father of the Con stitution’ — not that he framed it, for it was the work of many, but because he had perhaps more to do in making it what it is than any other man. Scarcely below Madison stood the still more youthful Hamilton of New York, destined to a preme Court from striking down State statutes by miscon- brief, brilliant political career, to be ended in its noonday at struing Congressional intent in Federal legislation. The an- the hands of the duelist. In this convention we find Robert ti-pre-emption bill, also known as the “States Rights Bill, Morison Speaks On Conservation At Club Meeting David W. Morison of Champion Paper and Fib 1 1 Company was euest speaker when the Newberry Garden Club met Monday morning at the home of Mrs. Thomas H. Pope, Jr., with Mrs. J. A. Burton as associate hostess. Mr. Morison, who holds a B.S. degree in forestry from N. C. State College, and who also pre sents a program on forestry and conservation over WIS-TV each Saturday from 12:30 until 1:00 p. m., spoke on the subject of conser vation. He told_ the garden club that the paper companies are “doing more than just cutting timber," As an example, he explained re search work now going on to de velop a “super” pine tree, by tak ing cuttings from the best pines available and grafting them to seedlings. The characteristics be ing sought for the “super” tree are clear length of stem, very lit tle tapering, straightness of grain, fast growing and vigorous, no forking, large amount of natural pruning, small flair at base. He showed slides to indicate the characteristics, also young seed lings that had been grafted. Mrs. E. G. Able, who introduced the speaker, also showed slides taken at various garden club ac tivities duuring the past year. Mrs. Clem I. Youmans presided in the absence of the president, Mrs. H. B. Senn. During the busi ness session, the club voted to make a contribution to the Me morial Garden in Columbia. Sym posium date was announced to be January 29 at Drayton Hall, Uni^ versity of S. C., and members were urged to attend. Mrs. Able, chairman of the nom inating committee, reported that all officers of the past year had agreed to serve another year. They were unanimously re-elected as follows: President, Mrs. Senn; vice-president, Mrs. Youmans; re cording secretary, Mrs. J. F. Cog gins; corresponding secretary, Mrs. S. A. Meek; treasurer, Mrs. Louis Floyd; publicity, Mrs. Price Padgett. All committee chairmen will also be the same with the ex ception of the program commit tee, which will be headed by Mrs. George Brockenbrough of Kinards. Reports were given of the Jun ior Garden Club meetings for No vember and December. In No vember, Mrs. Pope and Mrs. W. W. King presented a bird program to the Special Education Class at West End School, which comprises the Junior Club. They read bird stories, and gave the students bird stickers, books, a bird house, feeder and food. gressional bloc which is devoted tc the cause ot deficit which Mrs. R. e. Livingston spending. This bloc has already announced its intention to “ press vigorously for such legislation as the Area Redevelop ment Bill, which the President vetoed last year, and the Omnibus Housing and Community Facilities Bills which failed of passage last year. Additionally, it appears that the President’s proposal for a balanced budget is based on the hope of increased reve nue to the tune of approximately nine billion dollars. I hope that the revenue is forthcoming, but it would be far better to attempt a balanced budget by reducing expenditures, and applying any increased revenue to our massive national debt. This would offset to some extent last year’s deficit of more than $12 billion and put some check on continuing in flation. Civil Rights to be Pushed The most dastardly note in the President’s message was his promise to propose to Congress at an early date so- called civil rights legislation, not only with respect to edu cation and voting, but also with respect to what he called “access to jobs,” but which is known and despised by us in the South as F.E.P.C. It would appear that both the Administration and the radical “civil rights” zealots in Congress would have realiz ed how much harm they have already caused to peaceful race relations, not only in the South, but in the country as a whole. We must step up our attempts to bring the public opinion of the entire country to bear against this subversive influence, while at the same time fighting so-called civil rights legislation with every means at our disposal, as I certainly intend to continue doing. Court Bill Re-Introduced While our fight on the issues of so-called “civil rights” and fiscal policy will, on the whole, be defensive, I intend to fight offensively for legislation' which will advance the cause of Constitutional Government. Foremost among our offensive weapons will be the Federal anti-pre-emption bill, of which I am a co-sponsor. This bill would prevent the Su- Spectator greets the members of the General Assembly and wishes a fruitful session sometimes resulting in repeals as well as enactments of new laws. South Carolina is a State of working people; our people do not feed at the Federal hand-out, nor do they endorse Socialism. A vigorous, resolute and resourceful young Governor succeeds a straightforward executive, our State will continue to sail on an even keel. In the Senate and House are many veterans of public srvice : they will have the guidance of resourceful and patriotic Bur nett Maybank and the steadfast and statesmanlike Solomon Blatt. It cannot be denied that the legislators are outstand ing, chosen representatives from their counties; so, together, they are representative of our State. Let’s make South Caro lina increasingly attractive to investors for that means more wages and buyers and more tax revenue also. Thurmond Reports Congressional Spending Feared The 86th Congress, w r hich convened January 7 promises a difficult and trying two years to those of us who insist on adhering to Constitutional principles and a sound fiscal policy. On Friday, the President delivered his State of the Union message to Congress. I was encouraged by his proposal of a balanced budget for the coming fiscal year, but I am far from convinced that a balanced budget would result even if the President’s proposals were followed. He anticipated higher spending in the fields of assistance to education and urban renewal. This will only serve to encourage the Con- Morris, the author of our decimal system of money. We find here Edmund Randolph, the popular governor of Virginia, who, as a patriot youth with a Tory father, had run away has already been introduced in both the House and the Sen ate and is numbered H. R. 3 in the House and S. 3 in the Senate. Since this bill passed the House last year by a sub- from his home, joined the army, and served through the war, | stantial majority, and was defeated by the narrow margin and who, returning home, had found himself one of the most popular men in the states. He rose to the governorship, and afterward became a member of the first Cabinet in new gov ernment. Here also were John Rutledge, the brilliant orator of South Carolina; Charles C. Pinckney afterward a member of 41-40 in the Senate, I consider it our most formidable offensive weapon. In facing the difficult period ahead, I have resolved to continue to fight vigorously for the sound governmental principles which have made this country so great and which of the famous mission to France and twdce candidate of his | are so cherished by South Carolinians.
