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.
