SEMEMiEfe to vote"
May I urge that you remember
to cast your vote in the Demo
cratic primary next Tuesday ?
Many a good candidate has been
defeated because his supporters
have' said “he’s going to win any
way. I won’t bother to vote.”
There are some good men (why
.can't Newberry have some female
politicians?) running for office,
and your favorite candidate ha-j a
better chance of winning if you
will bestir yourself and get to the
polls, which will be open all day
for your convenience. A few pre
cincts close at 4 p.m. (see elec
tion notice elsewhere in this is- j
sue) but most stay open until
six.
, As in the past, The Sun will
tabulate returns and you will
hear them immediately on Radio
Station WKDK. Tune in your ra
dio shortly after 4 p.m. Tuesday.
Because only a few precincts close
at 4, returns will be slow until
about 6:30, then business will pick
up. Stay tuned ’til it’s over.
June 14 Election
A MISTAKE
To say that an article was “in
advertently omitted” or that cut
lines under a picture were “inad
vertently transposed” is just a
nice way of saying we made a
mistake . . . and we made a couple
of them last week.
In some way, I missed one of
the awards given last week at
high school commencement. In
listing the honors won by Miss
Charlene Golden, a very coveted
award was left off. Each year,
Mr. Harry Dominick gives a
scholarship medal to that member
of the graduating class who has
made the highest record in any
course during the four years in
high school. The medal is given
in memory of Mr. Dominick’s sis
ter and is nam^d the Elizabeth
Dominick Scholarship Medal. My
Apologies to Miss Golden, / Mr.
Dominick, and everyone else con-
cerned. - — -
Also last week, in making up
the front page, I got the pictures
of the two Oakland groups re
versed, so the names under the
pictures were wrong. I am sure
you figured it out, but I.want to
apologize to' D. O. Carpenter and
the others who were in the photos
for getting the story and names
mixed up.
r*
IF IT FITS
There’s an old saying, “if the
shoe fits, wear it.”
I have often expressed opinions
a* to what’s wrong with our
school system. To get down to
brass tacks, I expect the princi
pal factor hindering teachers in
their efforts at instruction is par
ents.
The parents to blame fall in
several categories. There are
those who just don’t care whether
their children have an education,
and send them to school only be
cause they think it is required
by law, or to get them out from
underfoot. These children have no
encouragement from home, and al
though a smart child shows , up
once in a while from such an en
vironment, usually they are a
drag on the remainder of their
class.
Then there are parents who
are satisfied if their lildren
barely “get by” offering no en
couragement or incentive, such as
the threat of a good wallop if
they don’t study and do better.
The third category of parents
consists of those who pay no at
tention to their children’s grades
until the last six weeks of school.
Then, realizing there will be fail
ures, and appalled at the idea of
giving up a vacation and money
so the child can go to summer
school, they see that their chil
dren do what they should have
been doing all year—start study
ing. In many cases the child
comes up with good grades the
last six weeks, but not good en
ough to pull up the sorry ones col
lected throughout the year. Then
coals of fire are heaped on the
beads* of the teacher, or principal,
or anyone except the child and his
parents, who are really to blame.
. ’teachers have learned to expect
a certain amount of unjust criti
cism from parents, but it under-
stan<|ably irritates them to find
that many parents are only con
cerned about whether, their child
passes when it threatens to can
cel a' vacation or | cost a yittle
money.
As*for those children who bare
ly squeeze by, some teachers re
commend that they repeat their
grade, because of immaturity, or
in order to get a more solid foun
dation for higher grades; but par
ents throw up their hands in hor
ror at such a suggestion, then
No. 6i Magistrate Andrew F.
Shealy is opposed by C. B. Metts.
All other county officers whose
expired this year were no-
. T d without opposition.
The last of five campaign
tings will be held Saturday

ty's 50 precincts Tuesday morn-

Less than a week remains for
political office-seekers to travel
the highways and by-ways in
search of votes, hoping to influ
ence the qualified electors of the
county who might not yet have
made a choice from among the
several candidates offering to fill
the jobs.
U. S. Senate aspirants are
Strom Thurmond, incumbent, and
R. Beverley Herbert, Sr. of Col
umbia. The latter announced that
he had no expectations of winning
the election, but wanted a plat
form from which to air his views
on certain subjects. Both the Sen
ator and Mr. Herbert have been
campaigning via persfonai ap
pearance and television, but no
close race is expected.
blame the teacher when the child
gets to junior high or high school
and is not able to comprehend the
work.
Incidentally, the teachers are
thankful that there are also good
parents—those who Are truly con
cerned, and discuss problems with
teachers throughout the year, ra
ther than waiting the last six
weeks to try for a magic cure-all.
This is the only statewide race,
and the term of office is six
years.
Congressman W. J. Bryan Dorn
of the Third Congressional Dis
trict is unopposed.
In the Eighth Judicial circuit,
composed of the counties of New
berry, Laurens, Abbeville and
Greenwood,Hugh Beasley, former
solicitor, is seeking to unseat the
incumbent, William T. Jones. So
licitor Jones won the position af
ter a hotly contested three-way
race eight years ago. He was un
opposed for his second term. The
solicitor serves four years.
On the eounty level, Jesse Frank
Hawkins, farmer and business
man, and Earl Bergen, merchant,
are working for the seat being
vacated by R. Aubrey Harley, who
i is completing a four year term as
state senator and did not offer
for re-election. Hawkins’ first
venture into politics was when he
ran for the House of Representa
tives four years ago and was
elected by a large majority. He
was successful in his bid for re-
election and is serving his fourth
year in the House. Bergen served
one term in the House, and was
defeated for the Senate four
years ago only a handful of
votes.
T. William Hunter, member of
the House for several terms,
seeks to return to the job. Two
representatives are to be named,
and others on the ballot will be
D. P. (Jabbo) Follf, who made a
good, but unsuccessful race for
the House two years ago, and
Steve C. Griffith, Jr., local attor
ney and political newcomer.
The only other county-wide of
fice in contest is that of super
visor. S. W. Shealy, who has
downed all opponents for a num
ber of years, is being opposed by
Harold B. Hendrix, agriculture
teacher of Prosperity, another
newcomer to politics.
Carman Bouknight, incumbent
Commissioner DiKirict No. 1, is
being opposed by Adam L. Tese-
niar of Whitmire. Ross George,
incumbent Commissioner District
No. 2, is opposed by S. Virgil
Williamson.
