NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1960 \ 7 tv r' ■ * » i -- -** ^ 4 $2.00 PER YEAR » By The Way Dorts Xl Sand«r» DON’T LIKE IT I have been told that there are «ome people who don’t like what 1 have been writing in recent weeks and they wish I would stop writing such “slop” I believe was the expression. I do not object to Buch criticism because criticism is to be expected if one writes on a controversial subject. I would re mind such readers again, however, that the columns of this newspaper ■are open to the expressions of others. I would also remind such readers that they are not requir ed to read this column, and I would suggest that they can find atories and editorials more to their liking in the Anderson Inde-' pendent. My dictionary gives as one meaning of the word gall, “cool impudence.” That aptly describes the Independent. Rather than be coming enraged when I read that paper’s editorials, I am merely amusedJ The editors hit a new high in gall in their Tuesday edi torial. If ever there was a news paper which “injects insinuations mid half-truths into its news re ports, distorts the news, and con veniently leaves out what it wishes,” that is the Anderson In dependent. And yet they accuse Life magazine of doing these very things. Claiming that Life’s editorial opinion will have “no more effect than a dog : s barking at the moon,” the Independent editors say the reason is “unlike a newspaper which keeps its news columns free of bias and reserves its editorial opinion for its editorial page, Life injects insinuations and half- truths into its news reports, dis torts the news, and conveniently leaves out what it wishes.” That latter phrase reminds me of a story which was carried Mon day, I believe, by most daily news papers, concerning the speech made by Kennedy in Harlem, where he told his listeners in ef fect that the Democrats were the only ones who had ever done any- * thing in the field of civil rights for Negroes. I purposely looked to see how the Independent would handle THAT one. Their story said Kennedy spoke in New York, and didn’t mention that he was in Harlem or what he told the Har lem voters about civil rights. -Could it be possible that the wire i?ervices failed to get this infor mation to the Independent? As for insinuations, the Inde pendent almost always manager to get into any story \bout Nixon the fact that he allegedly is member of the NAACP, although the fact has nothing to do with the story at hand. I would suggest that the lade- pendent clean up its own back yard before criticizing others. In cidentally ,a friend of mine from Anderson on his way through Newberry last Friday called for a chat. I asked him how the people behind the “Independent Curtain would vote. “Oh, Anderson will vote the Democrat ticket five to one,” he said, “but those of us who have been reading the Ander son Independent for years just laugh it off and read between the lines. The thinking people of An derson will^ vote Republican.” ’Tis a pity that such a majority will let the Independent do their thinking for them. fm mmmm IK Ewi-P mmMm ■ ’■■■■ ' ■' ' V - :< - > W: : > ■■■■■ Grace Church To tTtHICt t THE BEAUTIFUL, RECENTLY COMPLETED EDUCATIONAL fLANT of O’NcbI Street Btethodiat Church was put to use recently by its members.

Fulmer, two sons and a daughter of near Prosperity know how to grow and exhibit corn. Every year for a number of years, Mr. Fulmer and his family have won all the awards on corn except two at the Newberry-Sa- luda County Fair. This year they did it again, winning 38 out of 40. Mr. Fulmer won every prize in his depart ment. The children lost two aw ards to two other 4-H clubsters. Mr. Fulmer, in addition to win ning all the corn prizes in his de partment also won the sweep stakes for the best 10 ears. His other winnings include four aw ards for the best ten ears of white corn; four for the bert 10 ears of yellow corn; four for the best ear of white corn; one for the best ear NOT ALL BIGOTS Several weeks ago, the opinion was expressed in this column that religion will not have nearly so much to do with the way people in this area will vote in the presi dential election as will the plat- forms on which the candidates are running. Some of our neighbors up “north” feel this way too. The following was sent to me from a Statesville, N. C. newspaper. It i« from a column titled “Down in Iredell” and the columnist says: Southern leaders do our area a disservice when they persist in predicating the difficulties being encountered by the Kennedy-John son ticket upon the religious is sue. And Gov. Hodges joined the pack just the other day when in an interview he lumped North Carolina in the basket with the other bigots. •We speak only as an individual, b^t somehow we feel that we rep resent the viewpoint of a great many others in the south. We like John Kennedy as a man. We like his sharp intellect, his energy, his vigor, his fortitude. We can take hia religion. v But we do not like the package ha comes wrapped in. Although plainly marked “Democratic,” with a profusion of liberal, but tons and bows on the outside, it consists on the inside of a hodge podge of left - wing pressure groups, including the NAACP, the ADA, the UAW, the Urban League and others. Certainly, Mr. Kennedy’s re ligion will cost him some votes in the south, in the north, and elsewhere. It would be silly to claim otherwise. It will also make him some votes—just as Richard Nixon’s Quakerism, if that’s what he really is, will cost him votes and make him votes. But let’s not make the mistake of assuming in advance that if John Kennedy loses the south it can be charged up to religious in tolerance. For the south is conservative, not only in religion, but in gov ernment as well. That conser vatism, rooted in the reconstruc tion, is based in a sincere belief in the wisdom of limited govern ment. Mr. Kennedy’s liberal views on civil rights, labor and social welfare are alien and offensive to many southerners. He believes in big government. The south believes in limited gov ernment. He advocates policies which would further limit the sov ereignty of the states. The south believes the 10th amendment re poses final authority in those fields in the states. He would break down remaining barriers, social and legal, between the races. The south believes in the freedom of association. Thus, it is not so much the church to which Mr. Kennedy goes on Sunday that upsets the south as it is the political asso ciates who would have his ear during the week. And we suspect the south is in that respect not so different .from the rest of the country. We are convinced that many people outside the south do not relish the prospect of looking to the govern ment from the ofedle to the grave. They do not want the government to assure them all the “rights” outlined in the Democratic plat form. They want the Constitution of the United States to serve as an anchor, not a sail to be filled ev ery November with the winds of promise. But the choice when they go to the polls next November will not be easy; for never before have we been called upon to choose between two candidates disliked so bitterly by so many. To pick either as the lesser evil is still to choose an evil. Sometimes we wish it were simply a question of religion. of yellow corn; two for the best 50 ears of white com, and three for the best 10 ears of yellow corn. Jerry, Eddie and Diane Ful mer won all prizes for the best 10 ears of white com in the Jun ior department; five prizes for the best 10 ears of yellow corn; three for the best ear of white com and three for the best one ear of yel low corn.

In addition he received 38 first place and 27 second awards. Bill Hahn of Greenwood had the best bantam cock, a black cochin and best bantam hen, a black rosecomb.

Supervi sors elected at this time will take office February 1, 1961 and serve until their successors are elected in 1964. The law provides: “That on or before December 1, 1960 the dist rict shall file with the State Soil Conservation Comittee nominating petitions, nominating at least three qualified electors to be elect ed as Supervisors of the District. (A nominating petition to be sub mitted to the State Committee must be subscribed by twenty-five or more qualified electors of the district. Qualified^ electors may sign mor ban one such nominat ing peti. to nominate more than one candidate for supervisor).” District supervisors serve with out pay. Theirs' is a community service. They strive to promote conservation among their neigh bors and to bring communities to gether .-to. consider the land and water, problems which they have in common. They enlist the aid not only of the Soil Conservation Service but of all other agencies, groups, and individuals who can and will lend a hand. The District is managed by per suasion and not by compulsion. The very foundation of its pro gram, self government and the democratic way of life, depends ' upon active local leadership.
